Whi e-'sproned fro 2l the dairy.
Her air- her smile, her motions told

A inusio as of household songs.
Was in hor voice of swcotno3s;
An inborn grace that nothing lacked

The warmth of genial oourtesy,
The calm of self-reliance,|
Before herquueenly womanhood
How dared our landlord utter
The paltry errand of his need
To buy fresh*churned butter 7

A LIFE OF CRIME,
BY A DETECTIVE.
One of the most remarkable
cases that over came within my ex
perience, \va3 that of Lucille Dut
ton. She was in every respect a
woman of the world. Fascinating,
brilliant, dashing, possessing an ex
quisite grace of manner and rare
conversational powers, that charm
ed every one who came within the
sphere of her influence, until her
crimes were known and her arrest
attempted, she reigned in New Or
leans an acknowledged belle. Even
the most jealously envious of her
own sex admitted the wondrous spell
exercised by her singular beauty.
An actress, a vocalist, it would
j have been no extravagant eulogy to
I have called her a prirna donna.—
j Tall beyond the average of women,
; her slender, graceful form was mo
ideled into an exquisite symmetry
I !hat would have been a sculptor’s
j ideal. Curling, silky tresses of uut
| brown hair shaded a face fair and
! delicate as a child’s. Great lumiu
j ous black eyes flashed from beneath
the beautiful lashes with a strange
mesmeric power, that few indeed
have the powert o resist. This ex
pression, combined with her rare
intellectual gifts, made her regnant
over many a heart that had never
before felt the spell of a woman’s
charms. She had come to New Or
leans as a vocalist. Her engage
ment was attended with a success j
never before equaled by tho most
accomplished professional. Night
after night the theatre was crowded
with her admirers. Her appearance
was ever tho signal of an enthusi
asm all but wild. As the weird
light of the proscenium flashed on
jewel and gem, and the qeeuly form
radiant in beauty, stood before the
multitude, who swayed to the mag
ic charm aud impulse of tone aud
voice. I have often fancied her
beauty supernatural. Youth and
age alike felt its influence. There
was a thrill in the low utterance,
that trembled on the air like the
soft vibration of a harp whose
strings the wind had struck, and
raising in fullness and strength of
tone until a rich, delicious harmony
filled the vast buildiug with a magi
cal cadence, which no ear attuned
to music could resist. Her name
was on every lip —her picture
adorned every win : along the
fashionable thoroughfare. Before
tho charm of that strange, won
drous beauty, fashion forgot exclu
siveness, society opened its doors,
l’etted and caressed in every circle,
admired and lovod, her heart re
mained insensible to so much flat
tery, and homage of men and wo
men was re- eived as if it were her
due.
It was at a time when her fame
was greatest, and her success in
fashionable life most assured, that
an event occurred w hich changed it
all and precipitated a catastrophe
which I cannot even now reflect up
on without a sense of pain. A few
months before her advent in New
Orleans, a series of the most start
ling tragedies occurred in Montreal.
An entire family had been poisoned
by a governess. The papers were
never wearv of the episode of hor
rors tho recital furnished. The in
strument of this wiekeducss had
fled, and with snclt consummate
skill had her flight been contrived,
that not even a trace of her was
left. It appeared that her beanty
and accomplishments had wou the 1
affectious of a youth, whose mar
riage with hor his parents opposed.
Driven to desperation, Harlow Vin
cent had, iu a moment of frenzy,
perished by his own hand. Over
the corpse of her lover the govern
ess had sworn a dire revenge. How
faithfully she adhered to her guilty
oath, tho rapid disease of his rela
tives full well attested.
Tho story of the Canadian hom
icides had long since reached us,
but had left but little impression,
as a matter with which we had noth
ing to do.
One night a gentleman returning
from the theatre entered our office.
His look was disturbed, and his
face wore an expression of profound
agitation.
I handed him a chair, and after a
moment's hesitation, he inquired if
I had heard of the tragedies at
Montreal.
I replied that I had.
“Have you no suspicion of the
actor in that fearful drama ?”
‘■The governess, of course.”
“Yes; but have you no suspi
cion of who that governess is ?”
“Certainly not.”
“Would you like me to point hor
out to you ?”
“Most certainly I would.”
“And you would arrest her if I
did ?”
“Certainly.”
“Then, sir, your task is easy ;
the woman who is setting your city
wild at present, the fascinating Lu
cille Dutton, is the person.”
“What!” I exclaimed; “you
are mad !”
“Not I; T speak advisedly—l
know- the woman; I am a resident
of Montreal, and shave known her
fOr years.”
The telegraph was at once put in
requisition, and in less than an
hour the information sought for was
obtained. There was no longer a
doubt; the enchantress of the thea
tre was the murderess of Montreal.
We wore warranted in taking her
jin custody at once; but, as there
! was no probability of escape, we
delayed until morning. 1 confess
I felt a strar go reluctance in exe
cuting the duty I had to perform.
I admired the beautiful creature,
despite her crimes. I thought 1
could understand how these could
have been committed without her
being wholly bad. Madnened by
the death of one she lovod, hating
with bitter animosity those who were
in a measure, responsible for it, and
incited to the deed by tho fierce, re
vengeful nature of her race, it
seemed to me more the crime of oth
ers than her own. Still, I would
do my duty.
Early the ensuing morning, Mr.
I. and myself visited her apartments
at a fashionable boarding-house on
Camp street. Although the hour
was early, she was up, and to the
servant inquiring if two men could
be admitted to see her, returned an
affirmative answor. The bright
golden sunshine of tho early spring
morning gleamed in at tho open
window, filling the room with light.
It shone on the beautiful lady like
a crown—red with crime, she might
have been—but the nut-brown hair,
in the sheen of those golden rays,
seemed glory crowned. Robed in
white, a single jewel flashed from
the belt that encircled her waist—
a hud of the early spring roses
peeped from her hair. How beau
tiful she looked—how innocent.—
My tongue faltered—iny utterance
became indistinct as I told my er
rand.
“And you believe me guilty V ’
“By no means, lady; I but exe
ente my duty!”
“You do right !’* Her voice was
low and sad—so exquisitely sor
rowful, that tears came into my eye?.
A single hectic flush fevered on the
smooth round cheek, as she rose
and walked across th ■ room to an
escritoire that stood in the corner.
The great luminous oye3 were
sKathed now, and the long dark
lashes drooped over them. She sat
down on the desk and leaned her
head on her hand for a moment;
then searched for a paper or parcel
in a nook in the desk. I did not
observe her closely until she turn
ed around facing tne.
“I am guilty,” she said—the
same low tone of sorrow—“yes,
guilty in the eyes of the world but
not in the sight of Heaven. I was
insane when I did the deed. In
sanity has its cunning—delirium its,
passionate sense of revenge. They
broke my heart—destroyed in their i
bloom all the flowers of my life. I '
am a maniac even now, for I fool
no terror in my crime. I have long
looked for this hour. I am ready
for it. My dead body the law may
have; hut with it uo senso of
shame.”
As she spoke she swallowed a
dull grayish looking powder, threw
up her arms, and fell back in her
seat—dead!
DIFFERENT LAWS FOR Dif
ferent RACES, OR AMALGAMATION.
“It hath pleased God to make men of dif
ferent races and of different colors, and In
had no doubt but that it was a beneficent
arrangement on the part of Divine Pr»vi
dence. * * * Mr Greeley said the
time was fast approaching when the law
would know no distinction of color or
race,”
The above are from Horace
Greeloy’s lecture to a crowd of nig
gers, a few evenings since. 11. G.
says “he believes that God has cre
ated different races of men,” and
then doclares that he hopes the
time will come when the (human)
law shall ignore these distinctions
of race fashioned and formed by
the Almighty Creator, and disre
gard them utterly. Is it possible
to concieve any sin, impiety, blas
phemy or crime that surpasses this
bel\ef and practice of Horace Gree
ley ? He believes, no doubt, that
God has created different races or
species of birds—eagles and owls,
hens and ducks, canaries and black
birds ; but could he or can he ig
nore these differences fashioned by
tne hand of the Creator, and hope
to see them disregarded, and all ea
gles and owls, ducks and hens, ca
naries and black birds, ho made
subject to the same laws, and forc
ed to manifest the same qualities ?
Could or can ho believe that the dis
tinctions fashioned by the hand of
tho Creator in the feline family—
that separate lions, tigers panthers,
and even our domestic cat-—should
be ignored by us, and all these dif
ferent beings be made subject to
the same laws and fnlfil tho same
conditions of existence ? Or, tc
bring this matter to a still plainer
demonstration, can 11. G. believe
that the distinctions of race in the
dog family—hounds, bull dogs,
curs, &e.—that God has stamped
upon them, should be ignored, and
all made subject to tho satno rules,
&c., and forced to fulfil tho same
conditions? Or, indeed, that in
any of tho families or forms of life,
the distinctions fashioned by the
hand of Godshould be ignored or
disregarded by mortals ? What, for
example, would even this blind,
persistent and impious 11. G‘ say
if Abe Lincoln had issued a decree
declaring that the distinctions of
race between grey-hounds and ctirs,
in Virginia, should be abolished, ig
nored, disieganled, and both be
made subject to the same rules and
fulfil the same conditions ? Why,
11. G. would have denounced Abe
Lincoln as a monstor fresh from hell,
and tho Tribune would declare ev
ery man that marched under his or
ders a fool, the beast and madman,
that de erved to lose his life fifty
times over for crime so unnatural.
What ! —“abolish,” ignore, disre
gard tho distinction between the
graceful and intelligent hound and
the miserable cur—tho scent and
swi ness of one and the stolid inca
pacity of the other, and force them
to live out the same life and mani
fest tde same qualities, and bo sub
ject to the same circumstances !
Why, Abe Lincoln, and all who at
tempt this work, are sinners, aud
villains, and brutes beyond express
ion, and instead of advising the
people to pay the debt contracted
for so modstrous an object, the Tri
bune would call upon the people to
lynch every bondholder who dared
Ito presume payment of his bonds.
But what utter insignificance this
Wrong and outrage on dogs, com
pared with men—this crime com
mitted on the least and lowest of
God’s creatures, when contrasted
with that attempted on the most
perfect aud exalted of all His
works ! If Abo Lincoln & Cos. had
decreed that the distinctions epa
rating grev-hounds andcur3 should
be ignored and disregarded, and j
had sacrificed a million of dogs to J
force these bounds and curs to man
ifest the same capacities and fulfil I
the same purposes, why this war-

fare on nature, this attempted re
form of the works of God, this “im
partial freedom” or equality of the
races of 'logs, would be as a drop
Ito the ocean when compared wit!
the boundless and fathomless ant
nameless sin of forcing tho human
races into “impartial freedom.”—
Os course, vast number blindly
fought to secede from tbe North,
while a vastly larger number
still more bravly (ought lo prevein,
such sece-sion, but back of all
this, the motive forces, the impel
ing power, the soul ol the mighty
tragedy which has cost a million
of human lives, was simply and ex
actly amalgamation of races —a sin
ful, impious and accursed human
effort to accomplish what 11. Gree
ley says he hopes for, when tho
human law, ignoring tho Divin 1
law, shall mako no distinction of
races or rolor. Think of it! oh,
thimi of it, you accursed madmen
sinners and fools—a million of
American lives sacrificed to abol
ish, ignore, reform the work o
God, and equalize bebigs whom
even 11. Greeley says he beieivos
God has made unequal. 7s there
any parallel in the past, any ap
proach even, or in the tout ensem
ble ol human delusions, sins and
crimes, from the fall of Adam to
Mormonism, is there anything
that can compare with this sacri
fice of a million of lives to make
the human law ignore thoso dis
tinctions of race which 11. G- says
ho beleives it has pleased God to
make, but which he hopes to see
disregarded, and a timo cornu
wheu the human law will make no
distinction whatever between
white and negro! The DaY-BooU
says that God lias made negroes a
different race, arid therefore de
sign them for a different condition,
and the human law being in accord
with this design of the Almighty-
Creator, in South Carolua boti.
white and negro lived aud mult
plied their kind. H. G. agreei
with The Day Book in its prema
ises, and says that God has made
the negro a diferent race, hut he
and others propose to ignore aud
disregard this work of God, and
lorce white men and niggers into
the same condition, or ‘ impartial
freedom,' - and though the census
returns show that this kills them
it* Massachusetts, they have sacri
ficed a million of lives to toree
South Carolina to commit the aw
ful devil s work practiced by tbe
or finer.
But enough—the sinful and gi
gantic madness of the time is so
beyond all other conceivable sin
and diabolism, that it will remain
a marvel and mistery in all com
ing time how the Garrisons, Lin
colns and Greeley r could ever have
done such things at all; but this is
simple enough to thoughtful minds
of this generation. It is because
tltose avowed'v opposed to them,
and who call them fanatics, are in
a sense just as mad as they arty
witbrout their sincerity or honesty.
The YVifiuiie beleives in amalga
mation, that whites aud negroes
should be amalgamated together in
the same condition, but the World
beleives that it makes no differ
ence nud is ready to accept either
“slavery” or ‘‘freedom”— that i ,
while the editor of the Tribune
beleives it will be an immense
benefit to ignore the disinction of
race, the “Democrat” editor of the
World is content with different
conditions or tho same condition
for whites and negroes! And here
is tho fatality ot the country and
of this generation —the accursed
infidelity of the Cass, Douglas
and Bnchanan school of politicians
who, as they were wont to say,
were neither for nor against “sla
very”—that is, were willing to re
cognise or ignore the difference of
race, just as it would give them of
fice ! But after all, the country
cannot bo ruined utterly, and tho
another million of victims may pos
sibly be knocked on the head, we
shall all finally come back to tne
While Republic of the fathers, just
where the Day-Book has always
stood through this gigantic effort
at social suic.’d; and na'ional de-
j struct ion. With a million of read
ers the Day-Book could so expose
and explode the lunacies of the time,
that the Union might bo restored
without the loss of a single life, and
in any case every man that sub
scribes for it may fool that he is
aiding in this peaceful solution of
the mightiest problem of all time, .
