The poor woman thought it was a receptacle for foundlings. She stated that she was u'terly destitute, and that her last home was in Norwalk, Huron County, Ohio.

A LIFE OF CHUUK From llic Expi-i ioais c of a J>t> iretlvy. Hue of the most remarkable orrcs that ever emno within my experience wns that ol LuoiiJo Hutton. JSIio was, *u every respect a woman bf the world. Fascinating, brilliant, dashing, posses sing un exquisite grace of manner and rare eonverratiomil powers that charm ed every one who enme within the sphere of her influence. Until her erirrt s were known and her arrest at tempted, she n igned here nn acknowl edged belle. Uven the most jvolouslv envious of her own sex admitted tho wonderful spoil exercised by her sing ular and surpassing beauty. An ac tress, a vocali.tr, it would not have been no extravagant eulogy to have called her a prima donaa Tail bo youd tho average of women, her skm der, graceful form was modeled mto an exquisite symmetry that would have been a sculptor’s ideal. Curling s iky tresses of nut brown h a ir, shaded a lace lair and delicate as a child'll Oieat luminous black eyes flashed irom beneath the boautifuj lashes with a strange mesmeric pmver, that few indeed had the power to resist. This expiession, combined with her rale in tel.actual gilts, made her regnant over many a heart that had never before fust tho spell of a woman’a charms.— Bhe had come to New Orleans as a vocalist. Her engagement was atten uoU with a success never before eq\inll ed by the most acoomplidied profes sional Night utter night tho theater was crowded with her admirers. Her appearance was ever the signal of an enthusiusm all but wild As "the weirtf light ot the proscenium flashed on jew el and gein, aud the quoenly form, ra diant in beauty, stood before the mul titude, who swayed to tho magic charm and impulse of tone and voice, I have ofien fancied her supernatural. Youth aud age alike felt its influence. here was a thrill in tho low utti ranee, that trembled on the air like the soft vibration of a harp wl>oso strings tho wind bad struck, aixl rising in lullaess and stionTth of tone until a rich, de iiciou-i harmony filled the vast build ing with a magical cadence, which no ear attuned to music eould resist. Hur name was on every window niong tho fashion forgot exclusiveness, society opened its doors. I Vtte.J and carrassed in ev ry circle, admirad and loved, her heart remained insensible to so much flattery, ami homage of men aud wo men was receive 1 as ii it were &of due. It was at a time when her fame was greatest, and tier success in fashiona ble life most assured, that an event oe curred which changed it a/I and pre cipitated a catastrophe which I cannot even now reflect upon wi hout a s nse of pa-n. A few months before her advent here, a scries , f ( Jtc> rrrost start ling tragedies bad occurred in Mon treal. An entire family had been poisoned by a governess ’ The papers were never weary of the episode of horrors the recital furnished Tho in strument of this wickedness had Hod, and with such consumate skill had her (light been contrived, that n >t even a trace ol her wis loft. It appeired that her beauty ntrd accomplishments had won the atlections of a youth, whose marriage with her his parents opposed. Driven to tlesperation, Harlow Vincent had, in a moment of frenxy, perished by his own hand. Over tho corpse of tier lover tho governess hnd sworn a dite revenue. How faithfully she ttd hered to her guilty oath, tho’rapid de cease of bis relatives full well attested Tho s.ory of tbo Cnntutinn homicides hud long wneo reached in, but had left but little impression, as a matter with which we had nothing to do. Ono night a gcnt'etnrui returning fr in the theater, entered our ntfiee.— His took was disturbed, and his face wore tin expression of profjund agita tion. Mr I— handed him a chair, and af ter n moment’s hesitation, ho mVjufred :1 I had heard of the tragedy at Alon - treat. 1 replied that I had. “Have you no suspicion of tho actor .U that fearful drama?’’ “Thy governess, of course.” “ Y es ; but have you no suspicion of who the governess i.s ?" “Cerlain'y not.” *‘\\ oul-i you like me to point her out to you ?” “Most certainly I would.’’ And you would arrest her if I did?” “Certainiy.” “'I hen, sir, vour task is easy ■ the woman who is setting your city wild at present, the fascinating Lucille Dut ton, is tbe person/’ “What?’’ I exclaimed, “you are mad 1” J “Not I; speak adviscly—l know the woman ; I am a resi lent of Montreal, aod have known her for years.” Tho telegrrph Was a; once put in requisition, and in less than an hourall tho information sought for was ob tained. There was no longer a doubt; the encliunti'use erf the thuater was ] the murderess of Montreal. We were warranted in taking her into custody at once ; but as there was no probability of escape, wo delayed until morning. I confess [ felt a strange reluctance in executing the duty I bad to perlonn. I admired the hoantiful tfeature, despite her crimes. I thought I could understand how these could have been committed with out her being w holy bud.
