KLEPTOMANIA IN HIGH LIFE- Hay Ladies and Vrand Larceny Velvet ana ic6 aim and Nn A Curious Confession. In the 1 ombs in iScw j oik citv, at the pnsent time, there i. a woman held fitr a trial on a charge of stealing jewelry valued at S3 000, from Mrs. Bishop ot Providence. The accused was "iuter viewed last baturday by one ot Hie New York Star reporters, who, after de tailing ibe preliminary introduction to the female iu question, describes personal appearance, and gives her gular narration as follows: sin Mrs. Mary Miller is a slightly formed woman, neatly dressed in black, with valuable attiachan sack, coverinp: tier bosom.' in he-r ears she wore jet ear drops. Her face was a broad oval, the chin being small and well proportioned be had very large gray eyes, and theii lids were red and swollen with weeping Ller mouth was rather cours-, and her teeth were not as good as they doubtless once had been. But her expressiou was intellectual, and seemed to be fraught with ereat concern at her lamentable situatiou. Neatly disposed, in the mau ner of a cap, she, ou her bead, wore a white kerchief, which, added to the som bre remnant of Iter attire, and her soft, retiring carriage, made her seem more like some nun entering the parlor of her convent. This demure person, who9e mere ap pearance determined the respectability of her origin, and gave mute confirma tion of her strange recital, now lies ig nobly in jail on the charge of stealing jewelry, worth, in the aggregate, some 52,000, from a Mrs, Bishop, at present resident with her two daughters at tbe Westminister Hotel. She had previous ly been in a similar position of distress, some two years before, wheu charged with purloining jewelry worth iu its total value some $20,000, from various fash ionable persons, including Mrs. Surro gate Hutching. Special interest attach ed to the case because she escaped the penalty of the crime so easily. Before giving way to Mrs. Millers story, strange as it is, we must be allow ed to preface it with a word about (1) her extraordinary fluency and purity of language Anoa Dickenson is far be hind her; and (2) the singularity evi dence, genuuinennss and sincerity of her tale. One, however prejudiced, feels in voluntarily that this trembling, bluelipp ed woman, in her neat dress, with her once comely face, her distressed aspect, and her nervous deportment, is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing bnt the truth. " ' Her story, almost from its early flow, inspires perfect confidence in its exacti tude and ita painful singularity. She traced her life as follows : "I was born in 1S33, in Baton Rouge, Lonitian na, where my father was wealthy, well known and highly respected. I cannot give his name, because it is one which has never been dragged down into dis grace. . My father's family have stood by roe nobly, and I should iorfeit their generous regard by betraying their con nection with me. My mother died when I was young. Shortly after her death I was sent to the Convent of the Visita tion, In Georgetown, near Washington, where I received a very excellent educa tion. Alter it was completed i came to live in New York, and there I met , my first husband, Mr. Taylor., We were married, and we lived happily together- He was a railroad specnlator, and a rich man. He was compelled to travel a great deal, and I accompanied him wherever I he went. We visited Chicago, ot.

By him I had a son, who is at present living in New York. After a short and happy"ttarried career, my husband died, leaving rne some prop' erty. ' Un ibis A - lived comlortabiy a widow for some years. In 1859 I ac companied a party of friends .to- Long Branch. ' With us were - Bishop Smith, of Iowa, ' Father Dougherty, Bishop Hughes, the Editor of the Deboque Dm- ocral, and several, other. li distinguished persons. , We stayed at the United States Hotel, and there mixed ir$th best sa tiety.;. Comptroller Connelly ' and his daughter, Mrs. Hutch ings, were among onr accqaaintances. k It was under these auspices that I became' acquainted with my second husband, Mr. Miller. He was a lawyer and a partner of Hon. Pat rick Callagban. We were married that full, and lived in elegant style in Twenty - eight' street, near Fourth avenue. My husband took to speculating. ; His brok ers were Jerome: & Kellogg.., He made so much mouey that he bought a splen did country, bouse,, iu : By ereon street, near Bedford avenue..)' While living there he determined to ..buy the llow Iund farm, a well known estate in Cay uga county. .We took 140.000 with us. and weut there in 1863.: .The negotia lions were iuomplete. when he received intelligence that bis stock were failing and that more money was needed by his brokers. He sent dawn the $40 000, but it was too late, and . we found our- , flM . V I selves ruuieu mat sane Jjecemoer, two days before Christmas, my husband died, heart-broken and shipwrecked. Fur some years after his decease I sup ported myself by contributing to news papers aud magazines, under a nom de I iime. , Then came the first mysterious plunge into crime Over two years ago, l met, in tue r inn Avenue hotel, a maguinceut woman. whose accomplishments were extraordi narily numerous. She was a widow and l..kar.id ..fi.r ti.o uf TPo! film pnmmanilft PUC WW tl T . i. . ... .. an entrance into the very best society.- She seemed overburdened with money, , , 1 . ' v ana uressea sumptuously, i was at, ouce fascinated by ber. There was something mysterious about her, though I could not discover what it was. One day she t"ld me her secret. She was t fashionable thief, ller family was ex cellent. Some of them are in office now. and are immensely ricn. one uerseir was tbe mistress of famous politician. She could go anywhere, and wherever she went she stole all the valuables elie could. She told me hers was not a singu lar case, and I discovered it afterwards. I found, from the receiver, that numbers of fashionable ladies who live beyond their means, and whom nobody would suspect of the shadow of dishonesty, are accomplished thieves, stealing from their friends whenever they have a chance. At this stage our reporter asked for the name of tliN eiquisite criminal. Mrs. Miller declined to give it, saying, "I Lould be ruined if I told. All my chances would be lost and nobody would believe me I profited by her instructions, and in three months we stole and dispos ed of about $12 000 worth of jewelry, taken in hotels and other places. I used generally to negotiate the sale of the plunder, and the Unknown nearly always made thu raid among her fashionable acquaintences. At last, alter tne roo- bery of Mrs. Surrogate Hutchings, ighteen months ago, some one "gave us way" and we were all arrested except the woman whose name 1 decline to give. Mrs. Lynch, "the fence," was discharg ed, and I restored all the stolen proper ty, giving checks for. the value of such as were missing. , 1 was Kept in tue tombs and cautioned to be silent as to tbe part of the Unknown in our affairs. We were arrested on ' Sunday, and ' the next Wednesday the Unknown left for Europe ou board the Cuba. I was prom ised my release, but was brought one day into the Court of General Sessions, and then into the presence of half a doz en officials, and told that owing to popu lar feeling, it was impossible to discharge me, but that my sentence should be nom- nal. It was one year m tbe Penitenti ary. ..- , '.'In two months I was pardoned tor good conduct. -1 then went to live .with my grandmother in the Seventeenth ward. She is a rich woman, residing in her own bouse. For some time I - lived onestly and soberly. 1 had never at any time an inclination to steal for a living. .,It always came - to me like an impulse. The case of Mrs. Bishop's jew el ly is so : extraordinary that you wil hardly believe it,. Some parts of my tory, though, will be substantiated by witnesses.- . , , . , "I Weut to the Westminister Hotel to call on a friend, . who. .was absent, but was expected to return shortly.: i While waited in the parlor, a lady introduced herself to me and began a coaver sation. which we kept up. She told me that her name was Bishop, and - that she was a sister-in law of Gen. Burnside. : .

I called Lim and asked him to open the door. He did so at once, and I entered, closing the door behind me I went to the trunks, and found the keys in them. Opening ' them, I discovered $10,000 worth of jewelery inside.. . (-There were rings and bracelets - and necklaces and pins and brooches.- Some of the gems were rubies and amethysts, , bnt most were diamonds.! I took a pur .of mag nificent ear-rings' and pat them' in ' my ears, i covered my nnsers with rines. and then wrapped some other small trink ets in a 'small' handkerchief,' threw a scarlet camel's hair shawl over my shoul. ders ; aud then walked borne. The next day I went out on Broadway openly and fearlessly, in tbe stolen property.' While I walking down Broom street 1 was met by Mr. Brockway, landlord of tbe Ash land House, where I was living when first arrested. He said, "Have you any jewelry to sell ? Come you've been stealing agaiu " He then ' summon ed detective La 'R ic,' anil I was cap tured and taken before KeLo. Every thing I took from Mrs Bishop I return ed in person, as, iu the ease before, the detective retained some of the jewelry. I.MPKLLKII TO STEAL. I know you will not believe me, though I tell you solemnly the truth, that after I had gone down stairs from Mrs. Bisop's room I returned there and replaced S3 30 worth of the stolen jew elry. Miss Bbhop will confirm this. As far as I am concerned I hardly know how to feel. I can never tell a lie. The detectives all admitted to Mr Kelso that my word was indisputable, and yet 1 have been guilty of theft. I have never consorted with thieves 1 kuow nothing about iheir habits. Yet I feel a mysteri ous intimation to rob and steal whenever I have a chance I never took anything : . . , r I don't know how to account for it. I am not in necessity. Though I am not rich, I have wealthy relations in New York aud Brooklyn, and have always lived very comfortably. I am not extravagant Indeed I never mide a dollar by my dis honesty. I feel that it would be wicked to attempt to escape conviction on the plea of kleptomania ; yet I don't under stand it, and don't kuow how to explain it at all." : This extraordinary woman, whose presence and speech indicated the very rarest and most perfect refinement, then retired with the gracious courtesy of a lady to her wretched white-washed cell. Cutting Off the Wrong Head. An old farmer was out one flue day looking over bis broad acres, with an ax on his shoulder and a small dog at his heels. They espied a woodebuck. The dog gave chase and drove, him into a stone wall, where action immediately commenced . The dog would draw the woodchnck partly out from the wall, and the woodchuck would take the dog back. The old gentlemau's sympathy getting high on the side of the dog, thought he must help him. So putting himself in position with the ax above tbe dog, wait ed for the extraction of the woodchuck, when he would cut him down.' So an opportunity offered and the old man struck, bnt the woodchuck gathered np at the same time, took the dog in far enough to receive the blow, and the dog was killed on the spot. For years after, the old gentlemen in relating tbe story would always add: "And that dog don't know to this day but what the wood chuck killed him." 1 Vbry Late. The Pittsburg Gazelle is responsible for the following : ''Over iu Chester county, lately a clock peddler was tramping along, hot, dusty and tired, when he came to a meeting house, wherein the Society of friends were engagaged in silent devotion. The peripatetic tradesman thought he would walk in and rest himself. He took a seat upon a beucb, dotted bis hat, and put his clocks upon the fl or. There was a painful stillness in the meeting house' which was broken by one of the clocks, which commenced strikingly fu- iously. The peddler was in agony, but he hoped every minute that the clock would stop. Instead of that it struck just 430 times by actual count of every Friend in the meeting, for the best dis ciplined of them could not help numbering the strokes. Then np rose one of the Friends at the end of the four hundred and thirtieth stroke, and said : 'Friend as it is so very late, perhaps thee had bet ter proceed on thy journey or thee . will not reach thy destination, unless thee is as energetic as thy vehement time piece." , a s ass i a A button manufacturer in Williams burg, Mass., dreamed twice, tbe .other nigbt, that his dry-house was on fire, and tbe fancy made such a deep impression that he hastily, dressed himself and went to the dry-house to find a fire start ed precisely aa lie. bad dreamed.

WHOLE NUMBER 1250 General Pleasantoa in a Fix' Haw Mrs. - Wooduall Interviewed Him. Don Piatt tells the following in bis Washington letter to the Cincinnati- C-m mti'cbit: I heard a good story last night abont onr new Commissioner of Internal Reve nue. I told you in a former letter that the vehement female committee of IS, all strong minded, was here in perpetual session, sitting in solemn conclave in Brother Senator Pomeroy's comrnittee room, from which the sensitive and blush ing Scott Smith was driven by their dis cussions. Inese females do not propose to loose anything through lack of energy and activity. ' They rush about in the liveliest manner, capturing tne men brutes on all sides, and strengthening their canse very much as Samson carried i i .... ont the gates though sheer force. They do not seem to have read the Right Rev erned Henry Ward Beecher's beautiful little story of the rose bud. Instead of wooing with a gentle persuasion -of the south wind , they come npon a fellow with the force of a hurricane. ' The other day General PIeaanton, a delicate, sensitive little gentleman, was dressing for dinner. He had divested himself of every garment except the one spoken of by Hood in that melancholy song called "The Song of the Shirt." He was sailing about the room tinder bare poles, when he heard a knock at the door aud supposing it to be his man-who ought j to have been there, and was not be j sang out "Come in." To bis ntter con-1 sternation, that constitutional female known as Mrs Woodbull, with a peaked hat and a man's overcoat, terminating in ' unmistakable crinoline, stalked in. As , she did not imm diatelv stnlk nut. Vint I stood looking at the Commissioner of I - ternal Revenue in the abstract, the last named gentleman biding behind an arm- chair, stutered out, '"Excuse me madam!'' "I want to see you oa business, Gen eral I'leasanton." "Well, madam, won't you be so good as to come to my office. I am not iu a condition to see any one on business just now, aud I bpg of you to desist aud come to the Bureau." "I don't care anything about your con dition, General Pleasauton ; but it ' matter of some importance that I wish to see yon upon, aud this is as good ar op portunity as any." "My ! madam," exclaimed the ag onized Commissioner, shifting bis finan cial person from one leg to the other, "won't you permit me to dress for dinner?'' "1 have no objection to your dressing for dinner, but what I want to know is, what are you going to do about tins Van derbilt case 7 That Vauderbilt case is a great outrage, sir, and I can see that som body is to be swindled out of half a mill ion of dollars," and here followed a state ment of the Varalerbik case, that occupi ed just 20 minutes by the clock, and was vpvv forcible and emnhatic. At the end of it, when the strong-nsiided VToedhuli. paused for breath, Commissioner said ; "I don't know aoytting nUui ,l,c Vauderbilt case, madam, i have not looked at a single paper. I have not heard anything but what you have told me. I have not had time. My ! I don't get time to get on my breeches. I don't want to be rude, but I wish you would go away and let me dress." At this moment a knock was beard at the door, aud Pleasaaton yelled louder than ever be gave command to a battal ion, "Come iu." The door opened, and the substantial figure and handsome face of our Commodore Alden appeared npon the entrance. So soon aa he did this, the Commissioner chassezed from tbe rear of bis arm chair to the back of a sofa, and Alden, thinking that he was in truding upon some tender scene between the General and tbe female, beat a hasty retreat- But the Commissioner was not to be forsaken, and be ran to tbe door. jerked it open, and with the tail-end of his linen flying in the wind, seized Com modore Alden. and brought him back, when the cool and courageous Woodhull rose in a majestic manner, aud wished them good day. Pleasauton sank ex hausted iuto a chair, and begged Alden for a little brandy, to try and rally from this tremendous attack of woman's rights madeupon him. "With this brief garment of weak de fence he stood appalled." Jacob F.
