yet, by persuasion, she was induced to
enter the carriage, which was immedia-
tely driven to Police Headquarters,
where the unfortunate victim of a tor
tured brain was charged before Inspector
Jamison. With an eloquence, grace and
dignity that would have done honor to a
princess, she denied her impecuniosity
and proudly asserted her right to the
titles which she had assumed. She pre-
vailed and with commendable humanity
no further action was then taken, and
Claudia was driven back to the Astor,
where she had another terrible epileptic
it,. DR.. Swan was of opinion that she
was insane, and guard was placed over
her. ..if +.
THE FINALE.
The climax was at hand Yesterday
morning the symptoms increased though
the once noble creature maintained her
elegant bearing to the last. Her beauti-
full eyes flashed like lightning, and, it
seems, in the heat of her excitement,
she threatened to horsewhip half a dozen
bystanders at time She was visited
by large number of ladies and gentle
men, but all their advances, with few
exceptions, were Indignantly repelled.
Being urgently requested to proceed to
the Astor House, Miss Matilda Heron at
once hurried thither, and, upon seeing
her, the poor maniac few to her arms
and wept bitterly Miss Heron afforded
every possible consolation and sym
pathy. But, Notwithstanding that she
became greatly Modified, DR.. Swan and
other physicians pronounced her per-
fectly insane, and, by general consent, a
carriage was procured, and the poor
lady, accompanied by Miss Heron and
detective Todd, drove rapidly to the
Bloomingdale Asylum, where Miss Heron
at her own expense volunteered to main
tain her until she recovered; but Icing
without the certificate of two physicians,
admission was respectfully declined.
Detective Todd thereupon assumed
the responsibility of the charge, and
drove to Forty-second street, where
Claudia was intrusted to the temporary
safe-keeping of friend.
THE GREAT FALsTAFF AROUSED FROM
IsoF sLUMBER.
During Monday night, when all the
guests of the Astor were buried in sleep,
pair of boots lay at the door of Mr..
Hackett's room. Those boots acted like
a powerful magnet. There was charm
in their very toes. The night was far
advanced, when strange knock was
heard, handle was gently turned the
door opened, and in glided a beautiful
female in white. She looked like an an
gel, but there was strange cleaning
from the eye. A snow white hand stroked
back the hair from Mr. Hackett's brow
He awoke, and, thunderstruck, heard in
silvery accents the words
You are an old man; can | trust
your
With that chivalrous bearing which
has ever marked his great Falstaffian
career, Mr. Hackett leaned upon his ell
bow with benign smile and answered.
"0f course you can, madam"
"Well, then, she rejoined, Il want
your protection.
" And you must have it." responded
the gentleman. l|aA f.ti
John and the specter vanished. 1t
was Claudia the maniac. Mr.. Hackett

The Man who killed zoIIiooGer

The Stanford Ky Dispatch tells how
General Zollicoffer was killed, and says
the fatal bullet was fired by young man
named Chrisman, who was in Colonel
Fry S regiment. The Dispatch adds:
young Chrisman, after the war,
brooded over the act until his friends be-
gan to apprehend danger of insanity.
He was brave and honest soldier, and
could not possibly have felt any compunc-
ton of conscience for killing an enemy
in actual battle; but the reflection that
he had killed q human being who, at the
time, could have been made a prisoner
by the mere stretching forth of his hand,
who was powerless to do him any injury,
so wrought upon his conseience-preyed
as it we're, upon the very vitals Of his
mind-that he finally sank, and, it is
feared, into hopeless insanity.
A few days ago writ was awarded
against him by the Judge of the Wayne
County Court, when the foregoing faots
were ELECTED, which his detected aud Tor
lorn condition of insanity fully estab-
lished, and he yes sent, for more skillful
treatment to the lunatic asylum at Hop
kinsyille."

the failure of SO large portion Of the in

HAYTI THREATENED.

Dispatches have been received at the
Navy Department from Rear Admiral
Poor, commanding the North Atlantic
fleet, dated Cape Haytien, February IL.
The U. S. steamers Severn and Dictator
arrived at Port au Prince on the ninth of
February, Admiral Poor had called upon
the Provisional President, and after the
usual exchange of courtesies acquainted
him with the object of his visit to that
port, The President summoned his cabi-
net and the Admiral explained the instruc-
tions he had received from his government,
namely: That negotiations were pending
between the United States and San Domin.
go, and while they were pending this gov
ernmept had determined with its whole
poYer to prevent interference on the part
of the Hayten or any other government
with that Of the Dominicans, and if any
attempt should be made upon Dominicans
during the negotiations under the IIaytien
or any other flag, it would be regarded as
an act of hostiltyto the United States flag,
and would provoke hostility in return.
The President and Secretary of State of
Hayti then expressed the hope that the
friendly relations now existing between
Hayti and the Upitcu States would not be
interrupted, and that whilethcy were aware
of their weakness they knew their rights,
and would maintain them to the best of
their ability, and that they must be allow
ed to be the Judges of their own policy
Admira! Poor afterwards learned, unolfi-
eiallp, that the authorities were displeased
with what they considered menace on
the part of the United States government,
accompanied with force Thus it is that
our rapacity for new territory is getting us
into hot water with the only independent
nation in the world, except perhaps Mex
leo, which entertaius sincere regard for
this government,
