THE SHAW-C'RSTANG CASE—THE DEM:-MONDE OF AMERICA. [From the N. Y. Herald.] The plaintiff, Miss Effie Carstang, was, it seems, very respectably connected and prop- erly connected. Her early associations were not, as it would seem from the evidence, of the most rigidly virtuous character. After numer- ous amorous adventures in Brooklyn, Charles- ton, S. C., and elsewhere, as it is alleged, she made the acquaintance of Mr. Shaw, who seems to be one of the new rich men of the day, and made <0 by the rapid development of the re- | sources of the Great West. Mr. Shaw, dle son well stricken in years, is fascinated by Miss Carstang; he gives her many valuable Presents, and finally pops the momentous question. He is accepted; the preparations for the wedding are made. Miss Effie already sees herseit presiding over the palatial mansion of hor octogenarian adorer, when he suddenly breaks the silken tie and leave the lady to the solitary delights of spinsterhood. This is terrible. Such perfidy should be punished. The injured and unprotected fe- male rushes to the temple of justice and cries for damages' damages! damages! He has much money, this Shaw—let him disburse lib- erally. The lawyers are only too happy to take up the affair. Next to a divorce case, breach of promise actions are the best things going for the bar. If the parties have any social standing whatever, all the details are reported, and the counsel get fine advertise- ments for nothing. They sometimes take cases ef this kind as people rent farms on shares, and recall to the irreverent mind the evidence ef Mr. Weiler in the celebrated Bardell vs. Pickwick case, to the effect that the plaintiff expressed her admiration at the conduct of her attorneys, who acted ‘uncommon handsome’’ iD saying that they would not charge a cent unless they got damages out of Mr. Pickwick. In the present case Mr. Pickwick suffered heavily. Yhe intelligent jury, sworn for the first time, awarded to Miss Carstang $100,000. The defendant succeeded in getting a new trial, and a commission was appointed to take testimony asto Miss C.’s reputation, and to investigate more particularly into the facts connected with her adolescent chaps. This in- quisition was composed of delegates from the counsel on either side, and its members tray- eled from place to place. examining a very great number of wimesses. It will be noticed that the privilege of cross-examination was ac- corded to the plaiatiff’s counsel, so that the depositions taken by the lawyers were of equal weight as if they had been sworn to in open court. All of the evidence that could be printed has been laid before the public, and the inference from the perusal of it and verdict of the jury is that the plaintiff's character was not, to use the mildest term that occurs to us, immacu- late. If all the evidenco is true, Miss Cars- tang’s love affairs have been very numerous. She has had, according to the witnesses, flirta- tions without number; of serious intrigues not a few have fallen to her lot; she has been soveral tlmes affianced, but never wedded; and more than once detected in peculiarly per- plexing predicaments with persons of the op- posite sex. The array of evidence on the de- fendant’s side . "st have been very strong to have overthrown Miss Carstang’s case. Pat twelve intelligent American citizens in a jury box. Place them before a pretty woman in distress and arich man who has, as alleged, romised marriage and then basely deserted ee when her things were all ready, and the intelligent jurymen, unless the fact’ are each as solid asa sixty-four pound shot give the pretty woman Lise, apn eoeeea and go home to their dinners with the proud consciousness of having done their duty to a lovely woman in difficulty. That was the sentiment of the jury in the first trial of the Carstang suit, but the panel for the second examination of the affair has been obdurate. The jurors evidently believe. from the testimony, that the plaintiff belongs to what is politely known as the demi-monde, @ French term for a class of women very well known abroad, and not altogether a stranger in some circles in the United States. The best definition of the demi-monde woman extant is given in the play of M. Dumas fils, by the fa- mous comparison of the peaches: the fruit as itis exposed to view in the basket looks all alike, but here and there you find a specimen with a suspicious spot under the skin—not a large spot, but still a spot. The unsound peaches represent the demi-monde women,who are clever, handsome, well-bred, cultivated, agreeable, and so on—but they have the taint. The demi-monde woman has no affections— she has only appetites; she has no heart—only a cort of air-pump; her rule of life is founded upon interest pet The question of money ia the only vital matter with her. She is a gambler, and her game varies according to the circumstances and surroundings of her vic- tims. In some cases she has been suspected of mur- der; in others she has led on her Br? step by step, until he has been comfortably lodged in the penitentiary; but in the majority of cases the operations of this interesting and important class of the community are only known to the parties interested ‘The breach-of-promise dodge is a favorite one with the demi-monde, but such cases, in this section of the country, rarely ever come before the courts. The victim prefers to pay roundly, rather than make him- self ridiculous. Tae operations of the demi- monde woman are so infinitely various that they could not be enumerated in a moderate- sized volume. She is to society what the lobb: is to politics—a genteel pirate, with the blac a nailed to the mast. We wust do the common street woman the justice to say that she is not Carag by the demt-monde. That interesting class re- gards the /orette with a degree of holy horror, eompared to which the virtuous indignation of ancient maidens and venerable dowagers is extremely mild. No, the demi-monde woman may be found oftentimes at the tables or in the ee of very nice people; not unfrequently she has a pew in a fashionable church, and at- tends to her religious duties with rigid regu- larity. The demi-monde woman lives every- where. She has grown a social excrescence out of French novels and the hotel or boarding- house system,which has deprived at least two- thirds of the Northern and Western States and half of that of the Southern, of anything like a home. Many young women are Lebo, up to the belief that ey are only to know how to dress, dine, dance and flirt so as to catch a rich hus- band. They lay plans accordingly; if they land their fish and it turns out badly, they hoist their colors and take out letters of marque against Wall street. If they fai Seey. resort to bullying, and sometimes — ly to law. It is not for us to say whether or not Miss Carstang belongs to the demi-monde. The jury scemed to think , and the evidence has cer- tainly a very ugly look. oe A Fieutixe Country.—A citizen of Mem- phis, Tenn., has j returned from a trip to Arkansas, and tells the following, which will convey an idea of how they do up matters in that State: Sunday. After the usual tations incident toa Sebbath » he fled th: the only street in the place, and halted at the “grocery,’’ around which a crowd of a dozen people were . He remained there three hours, and that time one man was shot and fatally wounded, and two others seri- ously stabbed, in three separate ~ poe From a fighting country himself, our friend’s equanimity was not seriously disturbed, but he was rather surprised that, after the asffrays were over, the perpetrators of the shooting and stabbin, Shdald remme their previous oc- eupation with seemi: _ i toan uaintance, : "1 spewer, ‘we atn’t incorporated yet!” uneoncern.
