Kroiiy Another Chapter la the So
Clal l ife of the IHetropolla.
A most singular In fact, under all the clrcum
stances, an unpreccdonte I case of gonial crime
has recently transpired in our midst, which
illustrates lorcibly the oit-uttered adage that
'truth is Btranftor than Cctiou."
The history of the case atibrda examples of
trusting love, cold blooded treachery, and heart
Jess lrHUd such as are noi often presented.
Ktlorts are being made, we understand, to shield
the guilty man, or, at least, to hide his sin from
the world at largo. But as it will be morally
Impossible, Irotn the social standing of one !f
the parties, to conceal the matter for any length
1 time, and as alike the interests of society and
ympafhy lor an estimable lady, foully and irre
parably wronged, demand publicity, wu will
proceed in this place to give a tnll and truthlul
account of the atlair, by thia means preventing
the issuing of ex parte or garbled reports.
To present the matter clearly it will be neces
sary to give a brief resume ot tne previous
career 01 ihe principal parties concerned.
Those who have ctudied with any degree of
care tl.c previous history of our country, will
have no dilliculty in recalling to their recollec
tion the name ot Mrs. General Eaton. Thii lady
was in her day one of ine most fascinating
"women ol Washington; she was active, intelli
gent, witty, lull ot lite and animation, and was
possessed of a very lair share of personal attrac
tion. 13y her social graces she commanded the
attention ot many ot the leaders of fashion iu
"Washington, and, an all narratives inform u.,
won the especial favor of the great General and
President Jackson himself. In short, she was
at one time "the bright particular star" of the
American capital.
From our republican court she was transferred
to adorn tho Court of Madrid, to which place
General Eaton was accredited Minister. She
passed some time both in London and Paris,
and will sustained the credit of the American
same.
Alter General Eaton's death his widow was
ett the possessor of un independent fortune,
well invested. She iived in excellent stle, and
vas noted alike for her good taste, liberality,
and charity. In course ot time she assumed the
guardianship of her two grandchildren, a young
girl and boy, and made ample provision for their
luture lite, settling upon each of them a suffi
cient property,
Meantime a young Italian by the name of B
landed upon our shores. He was, we believe,
of respectable connection in his own country,
but whs certainly very poor, and lor a consider
able spat e of time could procure no employment.
Forced to be idle, and yet forced to live, his
prospects were very disheartening, but in his
rambles he chances to meet one of our leading
musicians (L)od worth, we believe though lor
this we will not cer'ainly vouch), who recom
mended him to adopt the piolessiou of a
dancing master, for v, bich he was apparently
well unalihed. The Italian acted upon the
friendly hint thus given, and met with an en
couraging degree ot success.
Among his dancing pupils were a boy and
girl the grandson and granddaughter of Mrs.
General Eaton. And it is from this point that,
in an evil hour, the career of the Italian profes
sor of dancing became intimately connected
with tVe late ot the Eaton family.
B was a man of oily, insinuating manners,
rather handsome, though not prepossessing to a
judge of physiognomy; betraying in his tout en
semble more of the dancing master or barber than
of the g jntleman; but such as he was, the prand
childicn referred to, the boy and girl, conceived
a deciued liking for him. and even wenc so far
as one day to request their grandmother to allow
him to v ir-it at her house.
At tirt Mr. Eaton was indignant at the idea
of this social innovation; but, as Providence or
ill luck ordained, finally contented. The Italian
came and was most kindly treated, with all the
genial hospitality for which the hostess had
been ever tamed. The rest can be readily sur-
TrtipH. Wltll nil this ilTinlnty nf hie nuH.t n 3
character he soon ascertained the exact state of
Mrs. Eaton's finances; he also discovered, what
in (act vca patent to ail, her amiability and soft
heartednoss. Of these latter qualities he
smoothly took advantage, and before many
months had passed it was announced in fashion
able circles that the widow of General Eaton
and Bourga'nani, the dancing-master, were to be
married.
The rumor "took the town" by surprise. But
tho fact of the wedding shortly alter excited
the town still more. Yes; the daucing-m aster,
who had f-eemed to be the intimate companion
of the young girl, his early friend, now married
her guardian, and Mrs. E.iton became follow
ing the loving impulses of her true woman's
heart in opposition to the wiser counsels ot her
head Madame tfourganani.
Now, mark tho worldly poficv of the Italian.
Step by step, by means of a determined mind
ajd a smooth tongue, he contrived to obtain
possession ot all the property of his wife. He
even prevailed upoa her to annul her arrange
ments for the maintenance of her ward (of
whom be professed to be the disinterested pro
tector, father, as it were Dr, to speak more by
the card, grandfather), and to transfer what was
oiiyinally designed for their future lives to the
uses ot liis preseut needs.
Mark, also, the boundless and the too confi
ding attection ot his generous wife. Wishing,
like a noble woman as she is, that her husband
should not feel himself dependent upon her,
she gladlv gave him her earthly all. From
being almost a pauper possessor of one hun
dred and fifty dollars he rose, jn three months
time, by her unseltish devotion, to be the un
disputed controller of nearly one hundred
thousand dollars.
Wliat then are we to think and write of the
man who has repaid such unexampled love and
trust as this with the blackes;, basest ingrati
tude? Can the Erlieh language or his own
fluent Italian lurnihh a term of reprobation too
strong to bu applied to suco a wretch? But to
proceed: Uourtmnani invested his newly ac
quired funds in "business'' straw or millinery
goods, or somethiucr ot thp sort and opeuly
"worked hard," but secretly "lived fast." Utterly
destitute of the Oner instinct of humanity, but
Jamiliar with all its grosser desires, he set de
liberately to accomplish a deed as b.ack and as
mean withal as ever was conceived in the ,-oul
of a scoundrel.
His adopted granddaughter, the blood relative
of his own wife, the one who by her kiud word
and 'introduction had been the original first
cause of his good, fortune, was a quiet,- rather
pleasing, naturally open-hearted young girl,
easily influenced, and warmly attached to the
Italian, whose intimate relationship to her gave
him every facility to increase this atachment.
To the ruin of this young creature the former
dancing master coolly and calmly proceeded, step
by step, with a stratagem worthy of a Machlat elli.
lie pretended iudill'erenee to her in public but
won her affections in private was 3tern to her
in the presence of strangers, particularly stem
In the presence of bis wile, but won her by every
seductive art as occasion afforded. In conse
quence, the girl was soon taught to be an adept
in deception; her once pure mind was poisoned;
she became undutif ul, and unsuited to the duties
ot her station. At last she became an utter
wreck, preserving, however, as long as possiolo,
the ftniblance of purity.
People wondered at the strange relations
fraaually arising between the ill-assorted trio,
ut the proprieties of society were observed,
and bo, of course, society was sat stied.
But the crisis cuuie at lasu the crash the
terrible denouement.
Last week Bourgananl proceeded to Washing
ton, where he remained several dars. Mean
while the young granddaughter was observed to
be Tery restless, and evidently in ill health.
Gossip began to assert itself. Dame Rumor em
ployed a lew of her thousand tongtios; but on
Monday night last the Italian returned to New
York, and all was well. He, hit wife, and his
granddaughter took their seats at tho table
d'hote in tbe fashionable boarding-house in
Cliuton Place (the last meal those three will
ever take together upon this earth), and all ap-

peared in (be highest spirits though in the
lieaits of two of the parties there was the
dnmntng knowledge of a volcano of crime and
mtery hI out to burst forth and overwhelm the
only guiltless one of the three.
On Tuesday the granddaughter left tbe board
ins house on tho plea of visiting her sister, and
returned no more. Tuesday nignt tie poor wife
waited ' all through the weary hours in vain"
lor the husband whom sbe was destlued never
more to see. On Wednesday alter noon there
Appeared In the papers, and also In tbe trorning
papers ot yesterday, a line among tho locals
announcing the departure for Europe (among
others) ot Mr. and Mrs. A. Borgannnh Thu
linp, however, as always happens, was not seen
by those mo.t luerested, and at 12 o'clock the
cud came.
It came in the Bhape of a letter from the man
Bourganani a letter coolly written and care
fully worded, announcing his departure to
Europe containing a tew commonplace apolo
gies tor his baseness and informing her (her,
the loving woman to whom he owed his all,
owed the very coat on hi& base back, and the
very mouey with which he paid his passage in
the Btcamer, her who had given up the world
and the world's gold vm God for him), that If
"she kept quiet,'' he having converted all her
property into cash and taken it with him, would
allow her the magnificent allowance of twenty
dollars a week.
Yes, such was the end. The pauper dancing
master whom she had married, Introduced into
society, started iu business, and "made a mau
of as fur as such a wretch could be made a
man had deceived her love, ruined her child,
deserted herself, rohbed her, In the eyes of
society and heaven, if not of the law, and left
her alone and penniless.
The false husband, the unnatural relative, the
liar and thief, with nis unhappy victim, have
"gone to Europe."
The law, we believe, cannot overtake them,
but at least the reprobation of society should,
alike brre and abroad, be directed on the head
of the Italian villain, while the hearttelt and
mi st practical sympathy ot the community, both
here and in Washington, should be bestowed
upon his unfortunate out most estimable wife.

that I con-lder jou the greatest doctor on dlseas' s of

with lurgn lumps ot green maiterj a violent pain In my
breast end shoulders, a s rainlng cough; and several of
the most eminent pbyslrlns gave me up as a hopeless
