A Sad Story,

Dalia Lees, o beautiful and accom-
plished girl, was born in Birmingham,
England, about ~thirty-h Eve years ago.
She was an only child of doting, wealthy
parents, who came to New York city to
reside some years ago, and died Just as
Dalia attained her eighteenth year.
Thrown upon her own resources and
having no one to care for her sufficient
~, she fell victim to noted thief and
gambler, who married her and sauan-
dered her riches.> Being an energetic
woman and possessed of rare personal
charms, she soon secured sufficient funds
to set up hotel, and succeeded in
amassing q fortune of over 800, 900.
This, with her beauty, brought about
her vast number of admirers,
one of whom, q prominent party
politician, succeeded in gaining her af-
fections, and robbed her of honor,
money, and self.respect. Dalia Lees
then began to sink deep into degrada
ton with fearful rapidity. One day
last week she was forced by want to'at-
tempt the theft of forty cents, when she
was arrested, convicted, and sentenced
to a years Imprisonment In expiration OF
her offense. When in Court she looked
for some sympathizing friend to assist
her in her hour of terrible need, but
none appeared. A lawyer, who offered
to make q defense for her, stated to the
Court that it was q matter of record
that Dalia Lees, who stood before them,
a convicted felon, had in times past
given az much as $1,000 at time in aid
of Christian, public and private chart.

The Cincinnati Chronicle says: Alady
while shopping at Oxford, Ohio, last
Saturday afternoon, after having made
some purchases in u store which was
filled with ladies and gentlemen, went
ont, leaving her pocket-book, contain
ing fifty dollars, lying on the counter.
Shortly after two men also went ous of
the store. They had hardly left the
door, when the lady returned in
search of the missing money. The
rest of the customers were get
ting very much excited over the
disa ppearance of the two men, when
they again made their appearance in
the store and demanded that the doors
be closed and a search made, which was
accordingly done, but to no purpose.
Some of those present then proposed
that the premises outside be searched,
which was done, and, as the result
proved, successfully, for the pocket
book was found concealed among a lot
of salt barrels. a short distance from
the store door. 1t was evident the two
men had stolen the pocket book from
the counter and secreted it, and re-
turned to the store to avoid suspicion;
but, in the absence of positive evidence,
the rogues were allowed to 90 free.
