COUNTESS PORTALLIS. Firing From n Southern Home in the ! " Wake of lShcrman's Army A Societj'Lcadcrantl a Fash ionable Outcast. Tlio startling report which reached us some time since, of the tragic death in Japan of the Countess Portallis, has suggested the idea that perchance a short biographical sketch of the re markable adventuress may not be un interesting. The countess "was born in a quiet little town in South Carolina, and not iu Georgia, as has been erroneously slated. Her father Mr. Barton, -was an honest unpretending man, and re spected as a good citizen, but Jier mother, a handsome, sprightly "woman, was strongly tinged witu a love lor the adventurous, and for tins reason was regarded with distrust by tho residents of this small hamlet. Marie, the countess, was quite a little child, when her father died sud denly, and rumor had it that nature bad "little to do with his taking off. In a few months the widow consoled herself with another husband, a man by the name of Boozer, much older than herself, but possessed of great wealth. By an ante-matrimonial ar rangement." Mario assumed the name ot Boozer, and the old gentleman gave her a handsome annuity, which her mother expended in personal adornment. Not long after this sec ond marriage, Mr. Boozer was in duced to rajike a will, whereby he left his entire property to his wife, and soon after this he, too, passed from the scene of action, A third al liance was then entered into, and the widow Boozer becamo Mrs. Feaster. Mr. Feaster was a carriage maker in Columbia and did a good business, but ho was seldom seen in company with his wife and daughter, whose tastes were qnite autagonistic to his. Marie was abont sixteen when your correspondent first met her, and a more perfect vision of loveliness could not be imagined. JNo artist could do her justice. Hers was a beauty that dawned upon you like sunshine, and is seldom seen more than once in a lifetime, lho young and the old, male and female, raved over this beautiful girl. There was not a college boy in the town who felt that his education was complete unless he had been ENGAGED TO MAKIE BOOZEU. Strangers called and asked to see her, as they would to see a fine race horse. An old gentleman from one of the rural districts called one even ing and asked to see Mrs. Feaster. She entered the room, and ho said to her, "Madam, I hear you have the purtiest daughtor in tho world; 1 wish you'd trot her out and let me get a look at her." This pleased the mother, who had that vulgar love of no oriety which did not stop even at making a public spectacle of the charms of her daughter. Sho sum moned Mane to the parlor, the old man arose from his chair, walked up to her, turned her round and round, and said: "Well, madam, 'pears to me folks was about right when they said that she was A No. 1, and no mistake about it Can 1 come rouud in the mornin'' and seeitshe looks as fine by day a she does by gaslight?" Permission being given, he called the next day, and as Marie entered looking radiantly beautiful, the old man exclaimed: "Tho half hasn't been told, and folks can worship yon, young lady, without committing idolatry, for there's nolhin' like you in the heav ens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth." Every pleasant afternr.on a spirited. black uorse was urougut around to the front door, and as Marie, clad in a close fitting, dark bluo habit, with a black velvet cap, from which floated a long white feather, mado her ap pearance on the stoop, it was a signal for all tho masculine heads in the neighborhood to come into view. "When Columbia becamo the great mititary center, Mario Boozer was recognized as "LaFille du Regiment," and many a wife has felt the stings ot jealousy on her account. Just before the burning of Colum bia, two federal officers, disguised as confederate soldiers, entered the city, and hearing of tho beautiful Miss Boozer, called at tho house. They were hospitably received by Mrs. Feaster and Marie, and finally reveal ing their identity, wero concealed in the house nntil Sherman entered, when they bespoke tho protection of the federal army for their fair enter taintrs. When Sherman's forces left Columbia Mrs. Feaster And MARIE BOOZER FIiED WITH THEH, Leaving Mr. Feaster and tho other children behind. Marie was taken under the special charge of a cavalry officer high in command, who sup plied all her wants. On arriving at New York they stopped at the Ever ett house. As Mario alighted from tho carriage on the first night of her arrival, Mr. John Beecher, who was standing in tho vestibule of tho hotel, saw her and fell desperately in love with her. Learning that she and her mother were "refugees from the south who had been devoted to the Union," he offered them every assistance. A fine house on Washington heights was placed at their disposal, and in a few months he proposed to Marie and was accepted. After they were married they moved to Mr. Beecher's Fifth street man sion, where she entertained royally. Mrs. Beecher's breakfasts, luncheons and dinners were the talk of the beau monde, -and Mrs. Beecher's heauty tho topic of all the clubs. She look New lork by storm. At tho opera, tho races, on. tho drives, in the theaters, she was the observed of all observers, and Mr.Beecher was proud or. mis notoriety, j Soon, however, gdssip became busy with her name, which was coupled in a most unenviable! maimer with sev eral men about tovfn of questionable morals. Uliict amdng her gentlemen friends was Lloyd Phoenix, a society man, who, having fallen short in some of his attentions, was suddenly re minded of tho fact by the whizz of a bullet, fired from a pistol in the hands of Mrs. Beecher. It was long before Mr. Beecher, a warm-hearted, true gentleman, could be brought to believe what hoheird concerning his wife's infidelities, but when he finally realized that she was un worthy to bear his,name, he procured a divorce, and regained their only child, now a boy; of about twelve. After this she wint to Paris, where it is said that sie indulged in all kinds of dissipation and quite turned tho heads of tho gay capital by her bewildering beauty. Exhausting all the resources at 2her command, she returned to America, and visited Salt Lake city, wherorshe became one of the household of Brigham Young, but for some disloyalty, was publicly reprimanded undismissed from the community. Itethrning to Paris, sho met f THE COOJ TORTAIiIiIS, An attache of thJ French legation in Washington. He married her, prob ably without knowing anything about her antecedents, aud, from the extravagant mode of her living, be lieving her to be rich. They returned to America, but the reputation of the countess had preceded her to Wash ington, and "society" refused to rec ognize her. The diplomatic circles wero in a flutter, and the cabinet offi cers shook their heads gravely over the subject. I think just here it is safe to say, however, tho masculines ot both the cabinet and diplomatic circles were a unit for her reception, but the ladies refused point blank to recognize her. A good deal of diplo macy was used, and finally it was de cided that the count should be trans ferred to Japan. Now comes tho story that while there ho had his eyes opened to the infidelities of his beautiful wife, whom after returning with him to Paris, he abandoned. Mr. Seccher, from whoes heart all traces of this unfaithful wjman had not been effaced, hearing of her abandonment and destitution, sent ou means for her support with out lettiug her know from whom the aid came. She remained in Paris some little time, but finally returned to Japan with a French officer, whom she soon ruined by her extravagance, and who soon after deserted her. She supplied his place, however, shortly after, by a titled Japanese, the secre tary of" state, a very wealth man, whose wealth she used to bewilder Japanese court circles with her beau ty. -Jealousies soon sprang up, and the titled Japanese man looked with an evil eye on her flirtations, a qnar rel ensued and they separated. Again she was left on her own resources, but by this time the beautiful Amer ican had become a philosoper, and her will served on this as on many former occasions. She determined to show this almond-eyed celestial that he was not the only man of rank whom she could bewitch, aud in a short time became the mistress of an other officer, of lower auk, however, than the secretary. Now comes the sickening story from Japan about his terrible re venge. Boused to frenzy by the pas sion of jealousy, he determined to wreak his vengeance upon both her and her lover, 1m rival. Accordingly he went about his diabolical work. First he reported her to the mikado of the empire aud asked for her ar rest, then he hired assassins to be head her, aud throw her body into a ditch. Such barbarity seems hardly credible in this enlightened age, and we hope the story may bo incorrect Ot her death we aro assured by per sons from Japan, aud if all the hor rors attributed to the manner of her death prove trne, it certainly is the most tragic ending to ono of the most eventful lives ever published. Opiates and poisons may soothe. but they also derange tho system and often kill. Thereforo use only Red Star Congh Curo which is purely vegetable, prompt and safe. There is a great demand for the Pall Jfall Gazette in the large cities of this country. People don't want to read the nasty Btuff published in its columns, but purchase it merely to encourage its proprietors in their warfare against crime in high places. m A Tonic in the Trno Seme of the Word.
