To be a wt-ll-di eased woman, as the world
goes, is the great ambition of every female
who lays a claim to social distinction. To be
fsste, yet not flashy; to be elegantly attired,
yet eUd within the boundaries which divide
respectability from the acknowledged follies
of worldly frailties; to cater to the aesthetics
of dreea, and not indulge in that which out
rages decency, is something whioh woman
hopes to attain, and whicb it requires the
utmost caution to assume. The fashionable
woman’s heart is given to dreaa; her life is de
voted to the latest modes. Sbe is constantly
in a state of mind bordering on distraction,
lest bar neighbor, who lives in elegance, farm
Huauptnously, and rules in a superb taundniet,

TROUBLE IN BICOVEKINQ THEM A

W »xo»L
(Rom tbs New Yoik Hrrs’d ]
Mr. John D. Grady ia a diamond broker,
and generally goes with about $30,000 or
$40,000 worth of those gems in his pocket.
He carries them very loosaly, handles them
oarelamiy, and occasionally drops $5,000 or
$8 000 worth In the street. He dropped $6,-
000 worth in Court street about a year ago,
and had to give a zewsrd of $1,000 to get them
back. On tbe 12th of November he dropped
$8,000 worth of these precious rtones near
the Fulton Ferry, while be was chasing one of
tbe Fnlton street cars. When he discovered
his loss be swore at himself, called himself
all the careless vagabonds be could think
of, and declared he would never trust
himself (gain with diamonds as far as
be ooald see himself. Alter hunting the
street over where be supposed he drop
ped the jewels without being able io discover
them, he wanted somebody to kick him. He
thought if somebody would just give him a
good kicking he would feel better. Upon cool
ing off^ however, he offered a reward af $1,500.
Alter a week or two had passed he began to
think be was not likely to get bis property
back. When he had about given up all hope
he ran aorose a newsboy named Smith, who
said he saw Officer Grant, of the Second pre
cinct, pick up the package containing the dia-
moods. He made an affidavit to the act and
Grady went for Grant. Grant denied having
pioked np the diamonds, but told Grady that
he thongbt he coaid get them for him. Gra
dy’s hopes began to brighten, and he offered
Grant as he says, $500, bat Grant is alleged
to have said that $1,000 would come nearer to
tbe mark. Then he saw tbe rewaru and told
Grady that he shoald want the foil amount.
$1,500. Grady left him without being able to
get his diamonds. He then received a letter
from a lawyer named Crook who told him he
might be able to easist him in getting his dia
monds. Grady saw Crook, but was unable at
the first interview to get tbe diamonds or to
discover who had them. Grady began to get
uneasy, sod finally shook the $1.530at the
lawyer, whereupon the diamonds, with the
exeepticnofa lady a duster pin. were dto-
duoed. Now Grady makee an affidavit to the
effect that there was, as he believes, an effort
on the part of tbe lawyer, the officer and anoth
er party to deprive him of his property. Gra
dy, therefore, obtained tbe following injuno
Uon from the Superior Court restraining the
lawyer from disposing ot the reward until far
ther orders from the oonrt
New York Supreme Court, Kings Co., si
James G. Grant, John Doe and Abel Crook.—
On the amended affidavit and complaint to be

Grady, plaintiff herein, on the 23th day ot
November, 1874, daring tbe pendenoy of this

Through the politeness ot the proprietor*

A TALK WIIHSANTA ANNA-
THE OLD MAN BV.LATBS SOUS OF TUT. INCIDENTS
OF BIS EARLY LIFE.
A letter from the City of Mexico,Oct. 20, to
the Ban Francisco Chronicle contains the fol
lowing:
Since writing to yon last, I have succeeded
through the influence of Gen. Martinez in ob
taining an interview with the old Mexican he
ro, Santa Anna. I eame to Mexico with tbe
impression that he was dead, and have beau
wondering since how maoy Californian* know
that he is still alive and likely to be lor ten
years to coma The old man lives very quiet
ly now, and receives little company. The fact
that he is almost universally despised by bis
oountrymen causes him to shun them; and for
the same reason it is much easier lor
foreigner to obtain access to bis
private parlors than fora Mexican. He unliving
at present in an old-fashioned Spanish bouse
on Vergara street, and although he is said to
be poor, he has aboat him not only the com
forts but m&ny ot tbe luxuries of life. Five
o’clock in the afternoon was the hour sp
rinted lor our call, and at that time Cot
080, an intimate friend of the General, re
ceived us iu tbe court and conducted ns up a
flight of stone stairs into a long comtortably-
furnisbed room fronting on the street. A pi
ano stood in one corner, and several pieces ot
statuary, and a few pictures here acd there
about tbe room, displayed a quiet taste. At
one end of the room bung a magnificent and
life-sized paiuting of a woman in full Spanish
costume. It was taken forty years ago,
when the subject was Santa Anna’s bride.
She must have been very beautiful then, il
tne pioture is (rue, for there is a wonderful
charm in the dark, sad eyes. We bad been
seaed but a moment when a side door open
ed and Santa Anna himself stepped into the
room.
Instead of the gray old man that we had ex
pected to see, an upright Boldierly figure stood
before us, acd we noticed that in spite ol bis
wooden leg he walked with ease and without
the assistance of cane or crutch. Santa An
nas eye is still black as a coal, aDd his hair,
although thin, has not yet turned gray. There
is a kindly expression in his lace that is
strangely at variance with the dark tales that
blot his history ; acd as he leceived each odc
of us with some pleasant remark aud a cordi
al clasp ol his soit, woman’s hand, we could
hardly realize that the man before us was the
author of so many bloody scenes.
"Be seated gentlemen,” he said, after we
had stood a few moments : “I have yonr
ohaiis drawn cloe. ly together hire so that I
can hear yon.” He tnrned and walked to a
sofa beneath tne picture of his wile and sat
down. It was in sealing himself that the in
firmities of his age showed themselves more
conspicuously. The false limb troubled him
then, and as he was obliged to extend it out
very carefully before him. He threw his right
leg across, as if to conceal it, and sat straight
upright. Daring tbe whole hoar that we
were with him he did notlean back or change
his position.
Santa Anna’s mind is still clear, bnt the
drift of his conversation shows that he livee
almost altogether in the past He loves to
talk of his own exploits, and the accuracy
with which he gives dates and particulars of
events which have been in history tor over
half a century is remarkable. He asked
many questions about tbe United States, and
among others the nr me ot our President,
which he Had forgotten. He alluded to the
time when he was the guest ol Gen. Jackson
in the White House, and ilaughed as he re
called some little embarrassing eirciumstances
into which his inability to speak English
placed him.
Some one inquired after his hea 1th. * 'Mexico
never did agree with me," be replied; "I am
troubled with| catarrh, and the atmosphere
here is too rarefied. . I am al rays better on
the coast, where I was bom."
“ Do you not weary sometimes of this se
clusion,” we inquired, “after the active life
you have led ?”
“You see I am growing old now.” he ans
wered, with a smile that bad something ot
sadness in it; “since 1821, when 1 declared
the independence of the republic, I have seen
a great deal.”
Tbe allusion to the past seemed to revive all
its memories, and, without being asked, be
commenced a sketch of his early life, and of
the many political events in whicu he had
bore so prominent a part. In alluding to the
establishment of the Republic, he said :
“ I did not know what a republic was. Itur-
bide had just concluded a treaty with tbe
Spaniards, and his friends in Mexico had
made him Emperor. I was a young man of
twenty-four tiltn. I bad a volcanic head—1
cared for nothing, feared nothing. With 300
men under my command 1 had acquired con
siderable reputation along tbe Gan in oar war
with Spain, and now my followers came around
me and asked me to declare a republic in
place of the monarchy which Iturbide had
established. ■ But what is a repnblic ?' I
asked. " Viva la Bepubliea !’ tbey shunted.
•Well, you fools,’ I thought, ‘if you will have
a Republic we will all go off in searoh of one.’
And so I led them against.Iturbide. Poor
Iturbide," he said after a while, “I had to
overcome motives of personal friendship in
making war on his government; and how I
cried when 1 heard ot his unhappy death at
Tampico."
For tbr e-quarters of an hour tbe old man
ran on irom event to event without an inter
ruption, and by that time it bad become so
dark in the room that we oonld scarcely see
his face. Santa Anna is very forcible in bis
talk, and although he is now over seventy-
eight years old, his black flashing eyes show
that the fires of earlier years are not yet all
spent. In speakiog he is very much annoyed
by a bad fitting set of teetb, and the deafness
which is coming over him in later years,
would mike conversation a laboroua task but
for bis willingness to carry the principal share
of it. He took leave of na with many kind
wishes, and the customary Mexican courtesy
to always consider bis bouse our home.

A KENTUCKY PIONEER
SOME INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE CF A KENTUCKY
LADY WHO KNEW DANIEL BOONE AND
SAW WASHINGTON.
MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
FLOUR DEPOT
Wife'
OF THB AGE.
[From the Covington (Ky.) Advertiser.]
There is at present in the Widows' and Or
phans’ Home, of this city, an old lady whose
History is a romance of real life. Her name is
Mrs. Catherine Appel, and she was born in
Winchester, Frederick county, Ya., in Janu&iy
1788, and will consequent}- be ninety-two
years old next Jann&ry. Her father's name
was John Kelly. He ran away from home in
England, and served through the Revolution! y
war, crossing tne Delaware twice on the ice
wiih the army under Washington. He was
also in tho trenches at Yorktown when Corn
wallis surrendered. During the war, being in
the infantry, a British cavalryman was about
to strike him with a sabre, and would doubt*
le-s have Killed him, when be looked up, and
a mutual recognition instantly took place. He
had met his brother, and tbey were on oppo
site sides. The tide of battle separated them
before tbey had time to more than exchange
salutations, and they never met again. Mr.
Kelley afterwards learned that his brother had
been sent with some British troops to Booth j
Carolina to operate against Marion.
After the close of the war Miss Catharine j
Kelley married Samuel Montjoy, ami the en
tire family moved to Kentncbey. That w s
seventy-five years ago last March. On their
wasfrom Virginia to the West tbey built a
boat at Brownstowu old fort,and came down
the river. Stopping at Pittsburg, they saw Louis
Philippe, of France, and many French noble
men. Landing at May »vtlle( then Limestone),
tbey came through the vicinity of Pans on the
road to Lexington, and settled there, where
Mrs. Montjoy’s father was afterward killed by
the Indians, leaving her mother with several
small children. Mr. Montjoy was also killed
at Winchester’s defeat of tne Maumee. Tbe
family soon moved irom their first location to
Leech’s station in Campbell county, wheie
Airs. Leech, who afterwards became the wife
of General Taylor, was .hen living.
The other parties who came down the river
with the family went on below Maysville, and
were massacred by the Indians.
Mrs. Montjoy, some time alter the death ot
her husband, married a Mr. Appel, with whom
she lived fifty-four.years, when belied one year
ago last may, in Marion county, Ind., alter an
illness of two years and six months. The pro
longed dlness of her husband consumed in
necessary expenses about all tbelittls prop
erty they had, aud left ihe widow almost pea-
niless at the advanced age of ninety years.
She sold what effects she had, and, notwith
standing her age, she came to Kentucky, and
shortly after returned, colltcted the money on
the sales, paid the debts left by her husband,
put a tombBton6 over his grave, and returning
to Kentucky, located in Boone county, near
Florence, leaving there a few months ago to
enter the Widow’s and Orphans’ Home.
Mrs. Appel has evidently been a woman oi
strong mind, and with an iron will and con
stitution has borne np under the trials and
hardships that beset the lives of the early pi
oneers of Kentucky, with family losses and la
bors that would have broken down a more
fragile and less determined woman. She was
of tne stuff our grandmothers were made of.
During her life with Mr. Appel she reared
and educated several young ladies, among
them six of her husband s grand children,
sending them two at a time to the well-known
school of Miss Martha Thomas, Cincinnatti.
During a part ot the same time, also she kept
a hotel at" Oxford, Ohio, where William Lyle,
of Pans, tbe Wickliffs, Robert Scnenck and
others, since grown distinguished in too
political world, boarded with her while going
to’oollege. She has seen and talked with the pi'
oneer Daniel Booueandhad previously, iu her
childhood, seen Washington when, during his
second candidacy for the Presidency, he visi
ted Winchester, Va., accompanied by John
Adams, Thos. Jefferson, James Madison, Gens.
Greene, Lee, Morgan, Ac. She describes
the scene of the visit as a grand ovation to
tho ‘‘Father of his country.” Her grand
mother was an English lady’ who taught the
first female school ever taught in Virginia,
and her two uncles brought over from Lon
don the first spelling books ever imported into
the State—it is said they were the first ever
brought into the United States.
Mrs. Appel says that she is not ashamed of
being at the Home, and is not at all unhappy
about it, but it should bs a matter ot pride
with our citizens to see that a woman with her
recollections, extending back into the purer
and brighter days and amoug the fathers of
the Republic, and her varied history and many
trials, is well taken care of and made comfor
table in her old age.
