THE FEMALE ASSASSIN.
As BLEATED hY PRINCE CAMP.ACERCS, ARC !U HAN< Kl foK
OF THE FRENCH KMPIRE.
About the close of the government of the Direc
tory, the keeper of the hold'garni; in the Rue>de
I'Universite, waited on the Minister of Police; and
in a state of great agitation, stated that one of his
lodgers, whom he named, had been murdered on
the preceding night. He had engaged ihe lodging
about six o’clock in the evening, describing himself
as an inhabitant of Melun, who had come to Pari9
ior a day or two on business. After ordering his.
chamber to be piepared for him. he went out. say
ing that he was going to tire Odeon, and would-re
turn immediately after the performance. About
midnight he returned, but not alone; he was ac
companied by a young tind beautiful female, dressed
in male attire' whom he staled To be his wife, and
they were shown to the apartment which had been
prepared. In the meantime, continued thte- ; hotel
keeper, the lady went out; she appeared to b'e fear
ful that her husband would be disturbed j and she
desired that no one would enter the room until her
return. Several hours elapsed and she did not
make her appearance; at mid-day, considerable
surprise was manifested at her prolonged absence
and the servants at the hotel knocked at the gen
tleman's door without reeeiving c any answer. It
was now discovered that she had locked the door
and carried the key away with her.
The door was broken open, and the unfortunate
man was found dead in his bed. A doctor was
sent for, and he declared it to be his opinion that
the man's death had been'caused by a blow of a
hammer adroitly inflicted on the left temple. The
lenfale never again appeared: she was sought for
in Vain.
In about a month after' a similar murder was
committed. The victim was likewise a man from
the country, and his death was produced in the
manner I have before described. The affair excited
considerable consternation in Paris. Within anoth
er fortnight, a third crime of the same kind was
committed; and in all these affairs, the mysterious
female in man's attire was involved. It is scarcely
credible, but nevertheless true, that eighteen or
twenty of these extraordinary murders were com
mitted with impunity! In every instance the little
that was seen of the woman rendered
for any one to give a minute description of her
person; all the information that could be obtained
was, that she was young; very pretty, little, ami
well-formed. This description answered that ol
many, ofher women in Paris besides the murderess.
Meanwhile, Napoleon arrived from Egypt, and
possessed himself of the reins of- government. Be
ing informed of the atrocities which had been
committed in the eapitol, he directed that active
measures should be taken for the detection of the
criminal. He spoke to Fouche on the subject. At
that time the eapitol was filled with Fouche's spies.
A fine-looking man, about twenty, was one evening
accosted in the street by a person whom lie at first
supposed to be a very, handsome man. He passed
on, but suddenly the thought struck him that the
person who had spoken to hmvwas a woman in
disguise, and he immediately recollected the female
assassin.
It is she,’* he. exclaimed : “ I have discovered
her, and my fortune is made.”
He turned back and entered into
with her. She at first denied her disguise, but final
ly acknowledged it, and the young man prevailed
on the nymph to accompany him home in the
character of a young relation from the country.
“ Where do you live ?” she inquired.
He named a hotel in which one of the mysteri
ous murders had been committed.
“ Oh, no; I cannot go.
“Why?"
“ Because I am known there.
These words confirmed the suspicions of the
police agent. He alluded to his property,-and
mentioned two hundred louis which his uncle had
given him, of which Jie said he had spent the
twentieth part, adding,
“Well, then, if you will not go to my lodgings,
where else shall we go /"
The female mentioned a hotel to which they
immediately repaid. The young man was about
to leave the room to order supper, when the woman
called him back.
“Will it be safe, said she, “to leave your money
all night at your lodgings? Is it not likely you
may be robbed? Suppose you go and bring it
here?*’
“ Ah r thought the young man, “ the veil is now
raised, and then without the least appearance of
suspicion, he thanked her for her prudent hint,
under pretext of going to fetch the money.
He immediately repaired to the office of the
police minister, and gave information of the dis
covery he had made. Furnished with the sum of
one hundred and eighty louis, he returned to the
house where left the woman. . He was ac
companied by several agents of the police, who
stationed themselves at the door of the apartment.
The murderess and her pretended lover sat down
to supper. She requested him to 'hand her hand
kerchief, which she had left on a console behind
her chair. He rose to get it, and during the instant
that his back was turned, she poured a powerful
narcotic into his glass. *»
did not perceive this, and drank off his glass
of wine hastily ; but he had no sooner swallowed
it, than he exclaimed, “ tf'hat wYetched wine !'*
The lady made the same complaint. A second
glass was poured out and pronounced better
Meanwhile the young man felt his head becom
es quite giddy aud contused, and his lips growing
stiff. .With well acted concern, the woman, the
murderess, rose, and threw her arms around’ hi*
neck, apparently with the intention of supporting
his head. . At this very-: moment he mechanically
raised his hand, and felt the hammer in the side
pocket of the coat worn by the female. He felt
conscious of the danger of his situation-, he at
tempted to rise and leave the room, but his strength
failed him. He tried to speak, but his tongue was
paralyzed. By one desperate struggle he made a
taint outcry, and then fell on the floor in a state of
utter insensibility.
The woman drew her little hammer from her
pocket, and laid it on the ground. She then
searched her victim, took the purse and deposited
it in the pocket she wore. She placed his head in
the requisite position to receive the deadly blew
and raised.her right arm for the. purpose of inflict
ing it, when the fatal hammer was suddenly wrest
ed from her grasp. The police agents opportunely
entered the room at that moment. 3
On the first examination, she gave the following
romantic account ol herself. She was of a respect
able family and irreproachable conduct; but having
bestowed her affections on a young man who had
treacherously forsaken her, she had from that mo
vowed implacable hatred to all the male sex,
and-the murders she had committed were actuated
by no other motive than vengeance for the injury
inflicted on her feelings. Would it be believed
that there were persons weak enough to pity this
victim, of tarayedaffecion 8 ? The sensibilities of
the world, especially ol the great world, are often
rtd.culous and sometimes very blameible. An
effort was made to screen the wretched victim
from the .punishment of the.law. When asked
why she committed robbery as well as murder
her defenders could give no satisfactory reply
The criminal, however, underwent the penalty of
the law; and certamly society has reason to rejoice
that the pumshment-of death had not been abol
ished.
Tlie Celebrated Mrs. Miller.
Washington A. Bacon, of Detroir, writes the foi*
lowing interesting letter to the Vermont’ Family
Gazette, Bellows Falls:
Detjioit, Mich., Sept. tO t 18f>U.
Mrs. .Miller has returnee' to her friends in this
city. She'states that it was her intention when she
leit the hotel at Niagara, to have thrown herself off'
the bridge which crosses over to Goat Island, just
above the cataract; but, on arriving at the place,
she had not the courage to do it—“she was a cow
aid on instinct.” She had, previous to leaving the
house, put her children to sleep, written letters to
her parents, and one to. the landlord, stating her in
tention, and requesting them to be kind to her
babes; she had also cut off'her curls, and left them
with the letters, in a conspicuous place on the table.
| From that time to the present, nothing positive has
i been heard from her. It was rumored that she had
left the country with a gentleman, and was travel
ing on the continent of Europe.
.Her father, however, believed she was somewhere
in the vicinity ot Philadelphia, and spent several
weeks in a fruitless search. Returning in June or
July he died of a broken heart. Not long since a
brother of hers died at Saratoga. His death, too
was undoubtedly accelerated by the same cause.—’
He was a captain in the army, Her father was
formerly aU. S Senator. Learning the condition
of her lamily, I believed she intimated to them by
letter where she could be found, and her willing
ness to return. Accordingly a friend of the family
went after her last week, and brought her hofrie to
mourn with her widowed mother over the ruin she
had caused. Her children are with their father.
Major Miller, somewere at the south. She states,
and I believe it is generally understood here, that
domestic difficulties drove her to the rash act of
leaving her-children and destroying herself, and af
ter shuddering on the brink of that awful gulf into
I winch she dared not plunge, she changed her plan, i
anu buried herself in a convent or nunnery near j
Baltimore. She positively denies having been in !
company with any gentleman, but found her way
to the monastery alone, and which she left as pure
as she entered. At any rate she is now with her
mother,who has received her with open arms.
The Uniontown Whig, of the 17th ult.,says that
Major Miller, the husband of Mrs. Miller, died at
the residence of Dr. Porter, on the Thursday previ
ous, and that lie was interred with military honors,
at that place, on the following day. Thus the hus
band, father and brother of the lady have all died
since her strange disappearance.
Police Reports.
•Some ol the Police Reports of the Pennsylvanian
are decidedly rich, anil well calculated to excite
the risible faculties of the reader? The following
is a specimen:
, t ' lT .p, Po V r,; ’ SepTEMBKR 211.— Shaping n Bar
i'H- —Pnere is a fashionable boarding-house, for la
dies and gentlemen of color, in Lombard st. above
I Lighth. Among the hoarders is Mr. Henry S.
| Trimmer,—in love with Miss Harriet Small, who,
; oy-the-way, is an object of general adoration, among
; the unmarried blackamoor gentlemen who inhabit
I the house. Trimmer is a good fiddler, and main
tains himself handsomely by playing at negro balls,
I parties, &c. His complexion is jet black, glistening
| with sweet oil, which some of the Ethiopians use
; as a varnish tor their skins. Harriet's color is sev
eral shades lighter than his—so the mulatto beaux.
; Ol the boarding-house took the preference which
the young lady shows for Trimmer as a decided
j symptom of bad taste. They pretend that T. has
i giten Harriet a love-powder, and to revenge them
| selves lor this supposed trick, four of the bachelor
' boarders contrived a plot which was carried into
j execution on Saturday night. Harry Trimmer, the
tiddler, returned very late from a pirty, where he
, bad been officiating in his professional capacity.—
! disrobed himself and retired to rest. Mrs. Mox
i say the old African matron who keeps the board
lug-house, and washes for all her inmates, had cook
| ed a large wash-kettle full of soft soap in the morn
] ing, and this preparation was poured off into a large
: tub, where it is generally kept for family use.—
; Harry s four rivals—Ned Mackey, Jim Staunton,
j Davis Hinson and Theodore Cole, lilted the sleeping
fiddler gently from his bed, took him down into the
i yard, slipped off the only garment he had on, and
j soused him head and earsih the tub of soft soap.—
I Hdrr y liai{ bce n drinking pretty freely at the party
and his slumbers on that account were unusually
soundhe was thoroughly soaped, therefore, before
; he recovered his senses. But as soon as the alkali
penetrated to his eyes aud made them smart, he
broke lrom his tormentors, rushed against the fence
head foremost, carried off a board, made his way
tluough the aperture, and shot down Lombard street
like a thunderbolt. Seen by the watchman in the
j moon lit street, his appearance partook of the ter
! rtfic. It will be remembered that he was in a state
| P erle ct nudity, and being, as we said, exceeding-
I ly black, he might have been mistaken for Old
i Scratch taking his flight from Philadelphia, by
, moon light. Several watchmen tried to lay hands
I on him, but he was too well soaped to be caught
easily. Slipping through their fingers, he fled on
wards, six watchmen in pursuit,—until he reached
the end of the wharf. Then a splash was heard,
and when the watchmen arrived at the spot, they
found him struggling in the river, surrounded by a
large circle of foaming soap-suds; A boat was
procured and he was rescued Jrom his dangerous
situation with some difficulty,—for he was as slip
pery as an eel, until his flounderings had rinsed
some of the soap from his hide, and enabled his
preservers to obtain a firm grip. The ill will of
his rivals was disappointed; they were bound over
to answer for malicious mischief, and Harriet who
appeared as a witness against them, declared that
she would marry Trimmer next week, “jest for
spite, case the other niggers- tried to make him feel
nasty. ’
Old Bullion and the Omnibus.

'-’haracteristic.

P.CKLixo Cucumbers This is the season
when housewives are engaged in putting up their
p.ckies. The following is a receipe for pickling,
which is highly commended:
“ Put Iresh cucumbers, as soon as picked from
the Vine, into weak brine boiling hot, and let them
remain twenty-four hours. They should then be
taken out, put into the vessel in which they are to
suflic?en, a , nd vinegar, J boi , lin S hot, poured upon them
s P ome days, a ““m’wiU
of the vinegar. When this takes'plate, the vinegar
should immediately be taken out* and scalded, The
scum skimmed off, and then while hot poured again
to the pickles. This should be repeated unt/the
secrement has entirely disappeared and the vinegar
becomes pure. The advantages of this method of
pickling cucumbers, over many others, is, that it
gives to the pickle a most agreeable flavor, and 'at
the same time preserves them in a sound and heal
thy state as long as the vinegar is kept pure.
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1850
The two Great Parties—Their
Policy.
No person of ordinary intelligence and observa
tion can have looked upon the past history of this
country, and not have seen very distinctly the differ
ence between the two great parties into which the
American people have been divided from the foim
dation of the government. Every one must have
marked the difference in the policy and objects of
these parties. The Whig party, retaining the an.
cient dogmas of Federalism, clings to the policy of
past ages, and struggles hard and incessantly for the
privileges and monopolies secured by chartered
companies and protective tariffs. The Democratic
party eschews these special privileges, and goes tor
the “greatest good to the greatest number.’
temporary, in speaking on this subject, says:—
“It is, alas! but too true, capital has always
‘used its strength politically,’ and it is quite time
that the honest toilers—the men who nark —who
produce all our wealth —should have their eyes open
to the. fact. In this country there are but two great
political parties—and tico have existed since the
commencement ol the Republic, and but tico can
or will exist so long as our glorious institutions
bless the land of the free. The one is the Whig,
and the other is the Democratic party. The Whig
party is mainly composed of the wealthy classes,
and its leaders are, in a general sense, the self styled
aristocracy of the land. These men, or most o(
them, believe the people—the common working
people —incapable of governing themselves, and
have long since avowed it as one of the fundamen
tal principles of Whiggery, that the 'Government
should take care of the rich, and the rich would
take care of the poor!' As shocking and anti-re
publican as this may appear.it is, nevertheless, the
truth. Daniel Webster, now the Prime Minister in
the Whig Cabinet , in a public speech delivered in
Massachusetts, declared it ‘to be the part of political
wisdom to found Government on property ! '
“ Webster’s idea comes up to the notions of the
Whig leaders of' New Jersey, precisely : (or it was
but last whiter that in a body they declared, by their
votes, a man was not Jit to be a common Juryman !
unless he was rich—owned real estate ! This being
the case with that party, the only hope the working
men have, is to bring their strength into political
use through the Democratic party ! A party com
posed principally of working men! The Democratic
party is a Great National Party — the party of
progress! The Democrat loves his country—reveres
her Constitution—respects the laws, and accedes
cheerfully to the will of the majority. He knows
and feels that ours is a free Government—that all
—whether rich or poor, are alike burdened with its
taxes and responsibilities, and that ‘its blessings, like
the dews from Heaven, should be distributed upon all
alike!'
“ The Democratic party, we maintain, is princi
pally made up of those who ivork for their daily
bread , it includes both rich and poor, learned and
unlearned, those endowed with genius, and those
unblest by nature : but the greatest strength resides
in what called the middling interests, and
especially in the substantial yeomanry of the country.
for they have seldom any interest adverse to the
common good of all. Democracy is the party of
ciptal laws , equal rights, equal privileges, UNIVER
SAL PROTECTION! Its foundation rests upon
the eternal and immutable principles of ajuity and
justice! Its creed is in the ordination of Providence,
the constitution of nature, and the wisdom of reve
lation. It has their common sanction, and, there
fore, is not troubled with doubts or misgivings.—
Its policy is honesty, and its counsellors are com
mon sense, and an elevated and pure conscience.
It has no partialities. It neither plunders the rich
nor oppresses the poor. It does not reserve its smiles
for the fortunate, nor its frowns for the unhappy-,
nor does it look with envy on success or ,merit, or
pass by with cold indifference the helpless and ab
ject, but its sympathies are for al-l, .wide as the
world and liberal as the sun! In short, the Demo
cratic party is the Great National American
Party;— it was born with the American Declara
tion of Independence—has grown with the growth
of our country, and strengthened with its strength,
and will last and continue to grow stronger so long
as an American heart continues to beat within the
wide extended borders of this Great Republic ! It
is evident, therefore, that if the Workingmen desire
to use their strength politically , they must lean upon
the strong arm and magnanimous breast of the
Great Democratic party—identify themselves, as well
as the noble cause for which they are battling, with
that party, and thereby they will be enabled, not
only to direct, to mould and shape the party in all
its actions, infuse into it new vigor and animation,
but your triumph is certain , political annihilation to
capital is brought about, and the reins of Govern
ment, both State and National , will be suddenly
wrested from dishonest politicians ol all kinds, and
placed in the hands of those to whom they properly
belong—THE MEN WHO WORK! THE PRO
DUCERS OF ALL WEALTH! THE HARD
WORKING TAX-PAVERS OF THE UNITED
STATES! Workingmen, Mechanics—men of toil,
of all parties, think of these things!’’
A Great Peach Orchard is thus described by
the Ohio Cultivator:—About ten days since, when
at Cincinnati, we took a ride (with friend Doherty)
to visit the peach farm of Mr. .F. C. Davis, near
Milford, about 1(3 miles from Cincinnati, and two
miles from the little Miamij Railroad.
The orchard consists of 100 acres of land, and
about 14,000 peach trees of 30 or 40 varieties.
The trees were brought from New Jersey, and set
out three years ago last Spring. They have grown
beautifully, and are now finely in bearing—the pres
ent crop averaging over a bushel for each tree; so
that the proprietor expects to sell about 10,000
bushels of peaches the present season. The assort
ment embraces a good share of the late varieties,
as well as the early and medium, so that the sell
ing period will be prolonged to October.
