The fancy which Americans have for being
swindled out of house aud home by titled
foreigners Is one of the most interesting intel
leetual PHI Domena of the age. If ragamuffin

him lock d up in a station house over night,
and appelr against him next morning at the
Tombs Police Court. After having seen that he
is sent to ,he Island for six months | retire to

denial in Aking such strong measures to re-
cover my property IT. however, ,;my reputation
or my private fortune is put in peril by some
titled swiodler who commits his forgeres and
petty larceuies trusting to the glamour of a
dazzling personal address, l submit to the i'm
position With tolerably good grace and take

illustrated in the person of foreign "count,"
who admired article of jewelry which
fashionable young lady was wearing. The

the foreign nobleman a nearer inspection. The
foreign uppleman accordingly inspected and,
having done So caused the jewel to vanish by
some artful prestdgtatorial touch, and con-
tinued the conversation in apparent oblivious-
ness of having the jewel about him. The
young lady at length ventured to remind the
count that he had not returned the Jewel. He
blandly insisted that he had. Unconvinced, but
too well bred to demonstrate, the young lady
kept silent, but 'told her father" the instant

The count was never seen again. The jewel
turned up in jewelry store where it had been
sold for some five or six hundred dollars.
The Universalist .ssociation.
Yesterday the Unitarians, to-day the Uniyer-
salsts. / have not much to say about them, but
the little that 1 have to say is rather inter-
esting to those who watch the development of
religious ideas, and are fond of finding in that
raos hat oil
gions are OF use in this world, and that all work
together in The education of humanity. There
is, then, in this city an association known as
the Young Mems Universalist Association of
New York. AS yet its years are young, and its
influence is not very profound Its rooms are
in Broadway somewhere among the Thirtieth
streets. It's formation was, believe, the result
of the refusal of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociaton TO receive Universalsts into member
ship. The Christian Association was so certain
that it had got hold of the TRUTH the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, rellgiously speaking,
that it could afford to shut down upon young
men who yentured to believe that erring hu-
manity was vouchsafed another chance in the
other world. And SO the present association
was formed-which, by-the-by, does not presume
to vie with the older and more irmly-established
organizai ~ Still it has taken good start,
and thing bear a healthy look and promise to
develop lavorably. In process of time it is
pretty cerain that the Universalst Association
will vie Ith the older society in everything
calculat, 10 provide that wretched young man
from the country with the comforts of home.
When that young man gets those comforts
hope he will let me know.
Madame Seebach.
Since my first references to her, some weeks
ago (when her first appearance was nightly ex-
pected) have not said much about Madame
Seebach simply because l did not wish to
burden my correspondence with anything ap-
preaching TO monotony. And yet justice COM
pels me to say-apd it ought to compel the
readers of HE TELEGRAPH to hear with hearts
willing to be convinced-that Madame Seebach
is in respects, one of the greatest actresses
that ever visited America. She is trihe passee
Her published lives unblushingly announce her
as thirty-three. Add ten years and you come
nearer the truth. Still she makes up with such
art as to seem remarkably young. She is full Of
light and sweetness, and has made great sue.
