AWoMAN WITH 4 HISTORY.
One Of the waits thrown upon New York BY
the lata Rebellion is woman now about 4C
years old, who Is often observed upon Broad
way near Madison square, promenading always
alone. She is attractive in appearance, dressed
in good taste, and excites attention wherever she
goes. This woman is now the !andlady OF fash

house on Lexington avenue. Her husband is the

FUNNY EXPERIENCE OF An ACTOR.
4. A city detective who could mistake an actor
who has for several yc4s appeared on the
boar1s Of one Of our city theatres, for a for
eigner and criminal, must have peculiar facul-
ties to fit him for the work. Yet this is exactly
what has happened within ten days in this city.
About the 18th Of the present month this actor dis
covered that he was being shadowed by two un-
known men- They watched him apparently night
and dny. and, as be WIS unacqua.nted with their
object, he naturally suspected robbery. To his
without position. his worl1ly wealth consisted Of
the clothes he stood in, few changes OF nicn and
gold watch OF Indifferent value His haunts were
beyond measure. One day le concluded
ers were last on bis track: and then
trying 10 give them the s}ip. he hred carriage,
and proceeded to Bloofningdale- road hotel, and,
slipping out the back way ran to the river and es
night, the watchers were in Whiting for him. Day
before yesterday the matter arrived at crisis. Hc
communicated the information to the police, and
before night learned something which made him
almost split his sides with laughter. It seems lie
had been followed by private detectives upon the
belief that he was an escaped English criminal
posted as to his wherea6onts IN case the E1tradip
tion treaty were revived. A photograph. OF the
man was shown to the actor, and the resemblance
their mistake and offered 10 treat The apology
was accepted.
THE NEW ADoS1s FAILURE.
Many months ago wrote you about new
actor then expected from England, who was to
outdo Harry Montague and George Rigno1d in
breaking the susceptible female hearts Of the
Metropolis. His name was not mentioned, but
his personal beauty was daintily described, and
il was day OF great expectations for sentimental
was announced. Since then he has come. Ills
name Is James Coghlan; and. though he came and
saw. the girls are still nnconquered In single
word. Is an Adunis Coghlan Is failure. He is q
coucly, we'll ashamed person, OF undoubted merits as
an actor, who will win his way rapidly to public
favor but he has none Of those extraordinary aces
female heart and set Marray Hill and Madison
avenue into new fever of excitement at once.
The eoeIety- girls who have seen him Eay he is
mice, and the men say be Is ''clever;'' but the
ecstasy is still wanting Vale!
1SGKATTUDE OF HUMANITY.
Another instance of the old maxim that cor
poratlons have no souls, was illustrated Ecre
few days age, by the ousting Of we'll known
gentleman from the Secretaryship Of wealthy
position he had held for four
years. The Company at the beginning was his
own creation; he bought the patents in his
own name, got up the Company, secured the sub |
seriptone, and interested all the stockholdess in
gradually its proats increased. The stock rose
from 20 per cent below par to 60 above, and the |
e alv'dencs were prompt and regular All this time
ness, upon small salary, and was the man who |
made the COMPANY what it ia. There was no com |
plaint Of want Of faithfulness on his part,
and no charge Of incompetency was possible;
but it seems that one of tie Directors !
had a son-in-law for whom he was soIictous to
secure position. and he intrigued with two other
% to make place for the aforesaid son n-law
This was done at the last meeting, and the aston
shed oniclal ~ now unemployed. This is about
he smallest instance OF small potato business on
ecord and only regret that the seal OF secrecy is
,pon ms pen not to divulse the names OF the par
les concerned in the Outrage.

vhich is understood to be owned in part by the pro-
