1t is belief in the theatrical protes-
sion, founded alike on observation and
experience, that actresses seldom marry
we'll of the stage / know OF no life
more pitiably wrecked by an Inflated
marriage than that Of Julia Dean. In
what may be considered the early days
of the profession, the Dean family were
among the first to emigrate to the West,
making their headquarters in Cincin-
natl, ,h,n the New York OF the back
woods. AS Julia Dean grew to woman.
hood she was remarkable for personal
beauty. Mrs. Fsrron. who played Fro
chard in "The Two Orphans at the re-
cent terrible burning Of the Brooklyn
Theatre, was then the great melo-
dramatic and legitimate lady star of the
West, and upon her style Julia Dean
modelled her own.
Miss Dean possessed the sympathy of
the entire company at the National
Theatre Tor being subjected to the most
needless cruelty on the part OF her step
father. even at that remote distance OF
time called "Old Dean" She was driv-
en- from pillar to post, and while under
gong all. the fatigue and exposure Of
tnestrical life, was made to do the main
part of the drudgery of large boarding
house kept by old Dean, and, although
always in receipt OF fair salary weekly,
her ordinary wear more rasembled that
of "Cinderella" than OF beautiful ac-
tress of about sixteen years of age
and fast rising into popular favor
in the Queen City of the West
Miss Dean having played little In
dian girl with much success, old Dean
actually permitted her to take enough
money out of her salary to buy pink
lawn dress, and on her first appearance
in it at rehearsal she looked so lovely
that she received sort of ovation from
the company and II storm of congratu-
lations her prosperity dated from
that lawn dress, Tor her step.father
seemed suddenly TO realize that he had
under his direction and guidance n
! Young creature out of whom he could
make money. He was a long headed,
csnny old man, bad actor, with an eye
to the main chance; so he began to
shower kindness upon Julia; he relieved
her of the homework and waiting on the
boarders. scraped together good sum OF
money, fitted her out with splendid
wardrobe, levanted her of to New York,
got her, by hook or By crook, or by
money, a star engagement at the Bowery,
and, BY advertising her IN q manner al
most unknown until then, filled the
houses and made u long run of her en-
gsgement.
For several years her popularity in
creased rather than diminished; she be.
came the great paying star of the period,
drawing almost as well as Forrest. She
made great deal Of money, and sup
ported large family, BY Mr.. Deans
various wives, for he married as soon as
he buried wife. Happily for tho pub
lie, old Dean left the stage, and he be-
came his step.dsughter's business agent,
exscting much more pecunlary return
from her than a man without claim upon
her would have done.
Surrounded by admirers, ard once en-
gagged to marry John M. Bolts, Miss
Dean managed for long time to escape
coit TO pieces in the bark of matri-
uony. AT length her patience began to
/ give out at her fathers treatment, for
! his natural severity had increased In
stead of sottening by prosperity. AT this
period of her greatest detection she met
and fell in love with Mr.. Arthur Hayne,
a Southern blood" His great claim to
distinct: on was, that his father had made
an able speech in Congress, which was
crushingiy replied to. by Webster. He
followed Miss Dean about, and
finally persuaded her to marry, much
s.,s,nst the wishes of old Dean,
who was naturally 10th to loose
the. goose that laid his golden eggs.
Her attraction ceased the moment the
marriage became known. Mrs. Hsyne
did bad business everywhere, even in
cities where she had been most popular,
in addition to which misfortune, Mr..
| Dean had SO managed money matters
that everything belonged TO MIN, not to
her. lie declared she had forfeited her
earnings, for it had been his custom to
induce her to sign yearly contract
whereby she agreed to pay him the sum
of SSO0,OOO (sll she had cleared in III ose
wears of starringl, in case she married
before the year was out
Hsyne, not supposing Dean would IN :
sist upon his pound Of flesh, induced
her to marry him within the year
Dean kept everything, leaving julia
penniless. AS soon As Hsyne was con-
WINGED Of this he turned upon his un.
forum ate bride aud told her that he had
run through with his fol tune, and merely
lowered himself by marrying an actress
in order TO get money enough to set up
in practice as a doctor; that he had
long maintained Illicit relations with q
married woman, whom he loved and
always should, and that he loathed and
hated her, julia.
This occurred in the Biddle House,
Detroit. where she WAS starring. and
where | WAS in the stock. l WAS sent for

roured ou. the story OF her fathers and
husbands treatment, Haynes mother
refused to receive Julis, and closed her
doors against her son in her di.pleasure

nothing to say against the fine society
lady before mentioned, who afterward
became notorious As one of Bigamy Bow

Mrs. Haynes popularity entirely gone
