New York city is regularly made the
depot for traffic in the merchandise OF the
purity and honor of unsuspiciOus and
thoughtless girls by tho evilminded and
skill upon the credulity of the innocent OF
her own sex. 1t is weilknown fact that
the proprietOrs Of the palaces OF
"THB SCARLET WOMEN
visit this city at regular intervals yearly,
from New Orleans and elsewhere IN the
South and Southwest i'll quest OF new We
TINS for the devils gristmill. These vile
PROGRESSES and agents in the social eVli
traffic are chiefly females. who come on here
bedeckcd with costly jewelry and diamonds
and other precious gems-the signs OF eN-
travagance and the badges of their trade
and with soft and subtle ingenuity allure
the unwary fly into their parlor.
They play upon the sympathies of young
girls who are out of emplOyment-Of whom
| thousands may be readily met with daily IN
the public stree:s-and by offering such III
ducements ms false pledges of lucrative EN-
plOyment, in whatever trade or business the
unsuspecting may DO seeking for work, they
enlist their Credcnce. Then few pur-
chases Of needed articles Of dress, III many
instances, suffices to confirm the beiiei OF
the sincerity which arises ID the mlnd OF
the poor girl who is soon to be caught IN
the meshes of sin. Clothing is bought by
the ..kind-hearted, philanthropic lady" for
the moth which is already burning its wings
in the scorching glare of the light Internal
The passage-cabin passaSc--the best ac-
commodations, too-ail is pai0 for by that
dear soul of hellish generosity, and the voy-
age of sin has fairly begun. The outfits
thus furnished and the money paid out by
the procuress, in the gulse OF the benetac-
tress, is charged to the future account OF
this unfortunate one thus waylaid and en-
trapped who, in the brief "fullness of time,
is made to pay, even pecuniarily, one hun
dred per cent for every dime expended on
her by the demon.
A case in point has come within the OBJ
seryation of our ubiquitous corps OF repre-
sentatives. 1t is that of young girl, I'm

namel, "a resident of one of the down town
wards, who fell into the trap set for her by
notorious courtezan of New Orleans. The
girl, who is q cOmpositress by occupation.
