Al midnight OF Friday, the 18th instant, there
arrived at the Ebbitt house, In this city, lady
who gave her name to the night clerk as Mrs.
henry white, New York city. Her appearance
uenoted both good blood and good breeding. The
pest accommodations Afforded by the hotel were
cotuially furnished at her demand. aud she was

was nnely formed for the display OF elegant
dresses, while her blonde hair, the profuse
growth OF which made It the obcc, OF genci al
admiration, was dressed daily by an employee
OF one OF our most fashionable and accomplished

those OF cultivated AMI refined lady. and

not only moved In the best II not the highest
walks OF our democratic society, but had acted q

she had been part. In short, she seemed to be
lady In every sense OF the word, whose wealth
was accepted as matter Of course, while the
perfect case with which she received the Atten-
tions OF the servants attested the fact that she

and subj ectcd her to general and favorable COM

chanted with the lavish display OF rich jewelry.
Seemingly impressed with feeling that she was
POSSESSED oF BouSDLEss WEALTH,
her orders were almost unlimited, and the mem-
ber Of the iirm who attended her wants fairly
danced with Joyous expectation OF realizing
handsome profit from the transaction. There
was fragrance on her breath, however, as II
was waited across the glass cases from her ripe
red lips, suggestive OF champagne cocktails,
and which the member OF the HIur aforesaid did
not, very naturally, recognize at hrst. Finally
her ladyshlp ordered q ring to be made for her
little charge, remarking that sue wanted 1t made
with an inscription on 1t to remind the wearer
that the habit OF
BITING HER PISGkltsAlIs
was exceedingly reprehensible. "Mr. GAN, said
she, "you know It Is bad habit, and my httle
friend must be broken Of 1t. Why, my child,
would rather bite anything else," and she smiled
with the complete art OF a siren, which proved
most clearly that while her bite might be dcaday

address to which the articles she had purchased
should be sent, 1t was discovered that she was
TOO DRUNK TO WRITE HER NAME.
She was then politely but emphatically bowed
out OF the store, and leaving her "liitle friend"
to return to her home, she proceeded TO the
establishment OF Kervand a Towers, where she
made investments amounting to about sSs0. aud

submitted himself TO the captivating snares
which she forthwith spread for him. The result
was that with the Seventh street individual
aforesaid she tarried until the dewyi vesper
hours, and finally accompanied him TO house
on Eleventh street, near northwest. In the
meantime the proprietor OF the public stables
from which she had hired her driving rig be-
