Services as q Spy Of Bismarck.
From the New York Mercury.
Four years ago Raymond Young ar
rived with his stylish wife, Alice, and
his four-year-old son, Paul, from New
York in Paris, where he took an expen-
sive suite OF rooms in the Grand Hotel
De Louvre. He stated that he had mar
ried his wife, the daughter of German
parents, in New York, six years before,
and seemed to live with her very happily
Through the aid OF the American Lega-
ton he gained access to the highest cir.
c.es Of society. Especially was this the
case at the parties gwen by the Minister
OF War, the illustriOus Gen. DE Cissey.
The General finally prevailed upon
Young to take up his abode in a villa
near Passy, which belonged to HIM
Young remained there but a few days.
After separating from his wife, who
stayed at the Generals villa, he brought
suit for separation from bed and board
against her in the Sixth Court OF the
Seine Circuit. She made no defense,
and, in accordance with the French
Code, Judgment was given against her.
BY request oftbs plaintiff, the proceed
ings had been kept secret, and so the
GROUNDS upon which Young obtained
the decree OF separation were not divuig-
ed. The Court ordered that the son be
taken away from the mother and be
put IN the Asylum OF La Fleche, a mil
ltarv institution which she suggested for
that purpose and for which it afterwsrd
turned out, she had obtained the necess-
ary order of admission from General DE
Cissey. The Cour. permitted her TO see
her little son at certain times in the pres
ence of the Director of the Asylum.
General De Cissy, as the time wore on,
oppenly became the friend of Mrs. loung
He even continued his intimacy with
her after he had married a beautiful
young Mexican lady. In April last
Mrs. Young drove in her carriage to the
Asylum of La Gleche, and applied to
the Director, Colonel Andin, for per-
mission to take her son out Oh ride.
Colonel Andin refused on the ground Of
the official decree. Mrs. Young hurried
to General DE Casey, who issued ar
order to give Mrs. Young the desired
permission. Colonel Andin had to obey
and Mrs. Young rode out with her son.
When her former husband heard Oft, he
went to NJ. Dufaure, the Minister of Jus.
tlce, and demanded that the order OF the
Court should be obeyed. An investlgs-
ton ensued, and Dufaure complained to
President Mac Mahon that General De
Cissy was disobeying the order of the
civil Courts. acMahon was disnchned
to do anything against General DE us
sew, and for the time the matter dropped
Young, however, put a shrewd detective
upon the woman's track. This detective
was not long in discovering that the
lady paid frequent visits to the German
Legation, and that she had repeatedly
ca he'd drafts upon the banker OF the
German ambassador. When these facts
were laid before NJ. Dufaure, the police
were orderd to search the experiments
of Mrs. Young. The startling discovery
was made there that, for nearly year
past, she had acted as the secret spy OF
the German Government, ard that she
had perloined from the desk OF the MIN
istry of War, military documents OF the
highest importance, among other the de,
tailed plan of the new fertilization OF
Paris, which had thus lar been kept
profound secret by the French Govern
ment. That this important document
should be in the hands of the German
Government was fact which M Dutaure
upon hearing ii, said was more injurious
to France than lost battle. He COM
municated the fact to Marshall MacMa,
hon. who immediately depo-ed General
DE Cissey and gave HIM merely nom
inal command. Mrs. Young WAS of
course, arrested. Oddly enough she
justified herself on the ground that she
had acted for patriotic motives She
said she was not born in New York, but
At Mayence, on the Rhine, and that her
rosl name was Junker. In order to
s ssS' Is' great scandal, the French Coy.
eminent simply had her conveyed to the
German frontier. Her husband was
also notified that he must leave France
