A Craven Cheat.
AN ENGLISH LADY VICTIMIZED BY A BROADWAY
SWINDLER—HE HAKES LOVE FIRST AND
THEN MAKJS8 TRACKS WITH HER HONEY
— HER DESTITUTION —WHAT SHE
THINKS OF AMERICA.
From the New York Herald.
An English lady of education resolved to
quit the effete atmosphere of Britain and seek
in this New World an agreeable abode where
she might enjoy her moderate income and
add to her slender annuity by teaching music
in St Louis. She arrived in New York
on Sunday evening by the Inman steamer
Washington, and became so rapidly acquaint
ed with metropolitan society that she came
to the Herald office yesterday morning to re
late how she had placed her confidence and
money in the hands of a Broadway villian,
who, it is needless to say, has stolen both.
Mrs. B. (she requests that her name be with
held) is London born, and a sprightly, dark
eyed, intelligent widow, believiog too much
in men, particularly in their protestations of
civility and disinterested kindness. She had
heard in London that in America you must
be
OFF-HAND WITH EVERY BODY;
that our democratic institutions produced a
general atmosphere of benevolence, such that
a mere claim of friendship on the part of a
total stranger was only indicative of a sense
of social duty. It is not surprising, there
fore, that when she landed and drove to the
Revere House, accompanied by a traveling
friend, Miss Wood, an English maiden lady,
now in her last half century, that she became
victimized the following evening by a low
thief named Brown, who hang about the
hotel. Mrs. B. was drinking tea with Miss
Wood on Monday evening, when a dark-com
plexioned man introduced himself at the
table and professed to take au interest in the
English ladies. Yielding to what they con
sidered “the true American style," they chat
ted with him, and he finally asked
THE ACCOMPLISHED WIDOW
ii she would accompany him to Niblo’s. She
refused. He persisted with considerable zeal.
She again declined. At last she consented,
and they went, and afterwards took supper
iD a public restaurant, the situation ot which
she doos not now remember.
Mrs. B. says:—
“He made violent love to me and pretend
ed to wish to marry me; but his entreaties
did not make the faintest impression. His
kindness inspired me with confidence, how
ever, and, being alone, I did not repel his at
tentions. You know what it is to be alone in
a foreign land, without a friend or acquain
tance. He swore that wherever I went there
be should go, and that my happiness was his
only object in life. These declarations
amused me, because the man was igno
rant, and said he was an actor and a gym
nast, and neither his manners nor his con
versation indicated that he was other than
A VERY COMMON AND VULGAR PERSON !’’
“What became of Miss Wood?"
44 Oh, she was going to Philadelphia yester
day morning. She had been very kind to me,
and had acted the matron on board tne
Washington. After breakfast I went out to
get my draft cashed at Fargo*. It was for
the som of £30 sterling. As I was leaviog
the hotel the man Brown followed and joined
me and said he wonld go with me. As I had
every confidence m him I did not object I
got the money all right (over hundred and j
fifty dollars), and Asked him to put it in his
pocket, because I had
NOT THE LEAST SUSPICION
of his good intentions. When we arrived
opposite Goald’s restaurant he said he wished
to inquire for some letters at the post-office
in Nassau street, and I said I would like to
have him make inquiries for me. Ac
cording to his invitation I remained outside
on the sidewalk in front of Gould’s. He went
for the letters, and has never returned.”
“ So you are left destitute?"
“Entirely so. I have not enough money
to buy a loaf of bread with. He took almost
my last penny. I do not know what in the
world to do. I cannot pay my hotel bill, and
they do not trust strangers at the Kevere
House. I must accept aid from whatever
source it comes. If I had money I would go
back to England immediately.”
“Y’ou are tired of this country?”
“Yes; at least one hundred men have in-,
suited me in the street in the last two days.
Thieves and vagabonds seem to be every
where. "
Mrs. B. has the appearance and demeanor
of a perfect lady, and she deserves the atten
tion and aid of the community, as she is now
in a state of complete destitution. She may
be found at the Revere House.

A Gypsy Mystery.
KUDDEN* DEATH OF A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WO
MAN IN a WAGON—FLIGHT OF THE
GYPSIES—THE COXONEB’s
INVESTIGATION.
[New York Snn.J
Poughkeepsie, May 18.
There is a painful mystery surrounding the
death and burial of a gypsy girl on Monday
last near Cold Spring, Putnan county. The
investigation which is progressing shows that
these roving bands disregard all law and de
cency in the matter of caring for the mem
bers of their tribe when misfortune overtakes
them. On the day in question two
wagons containing three young men,
one old woman, one young girl and two
children arrived at McKeel s Corners, not far
from Cold Spring. One of the young men
hastened to Dr. Griffin's residence and pressed
him to come quickly to the wagons. The
doctor did so, and found the young girl in a
dying condition. She was very beautiful.
Her attire was of the most scanty kind. Dr.
Griffin thought she had been drugged. When
he demanded of the other occupants of the
wagon what they had been giving her, one ot
them replied that Dr. Schiosson, ot Bedford,
Westchester county, had prescribed pills for
the girl; that she had been complaining tor
several days but that she had not been very ill
the day previous. Dr. Griffin asked the poor
girl if she would like to have some water, but
she made no audible reply. He then, in or
der to test her strength, held the water toward
her and asked her to raise her head: but she
could not. He then raised her head and
poured a little water in her mouth, but she
did not swallow any. The Doctor then hur
ried into a house near by to get other aid, but j
when he came back the young girl was dead.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same j
day her body was handed over to the overseer !
of the poor, and she was at once buried in
the old burial ground near by, without pray- |
er or other service whatever.
Her wandering companions took their de> '
parture immediately after, unquestioned and /
seemingly uncared for. Not a soul knew who •
the unfortunate girl was, nor where she came
from, nor the names of any of her compan
ions.
As soon as the Tacts became noised abroad, |
the people of the vicinity felt that a great
wrong had been perpetrated; that a mystery __
surrounded the whole affair which it was their FREEDMANS SAVINGS & TRUST CO*
duty, if possible, to clear up. j (Chartered by Government of United States.
Coroner Bullock, or Cold Spring, took • office Broad Street corner Walton,
hold of the case, and ordered the body to be
exhumed. Dr. Murdock then made a post

H. Speights—Dear Sir : We witnessed the working of your “ BRINLEY’8 8HAFT PLOW,” on the
land of 9. B. Burr, this day, and do not hesitate to say that it is good for all claimed for it. It broke and bed
ded cotton land aa well, if not better, than one horse and b&nd could do, making a complete bed at one haul.
It is equal to three hand* and three mules, and is easily worked by one mule or one horse. We consider it a
great labor-saver, and unhesitatingly recommend it, and will use it ouxtelvesos soon as they con be procured.

F. Roberts, of Grahamville, 8. C., says: “ No other Thill or Shaft Plough is anywhere by the aide of
Brinley's. My Foreman has tried it, and aays that Brinley’s ie worth a dozen of any other. The negroes arc
delighted with it.”
W. G. Gibbs, Columbia, 8. C., says: 44 The Shaft Plough lias been worked with perfect success and satisfac
tion. I am delighted with it.”
W. A. Walters, 8impsonville, Ky., eays: “ Works admirably—cleans out a row of com at one sweep—easily
managed—runs as ateodily as a breaking plough—will do twice the work of a double shovel and better.”
A. C. Jackson, Greensboro, Ga., says: ” I find yonr Shaft Plow the perfection of ooverers foJSbm and cot
ton.”
J. H. Nichols, Nacooche, Ga., says: “The Brinley Shaft Plow, for tbe purpose for which it is designed, ex
cels anything I have seen used.” One of his hands aays; 4< I would as eoon plough with this plough as to
play.”
R. H. George, Simpson ville Ky.. says: ” Excels anything I have ever seen—puts the ground in fine condi
tion-can be used from the rime the corn is up until it is full grown—more easily handled than any other
plow."
