Persecuted By a Woman.

The San Francisco Bulletin savs that a young gentleman of estimable character residing in that city and a shining light in an honorable profession unwittingly incurred the displeasure of a young lady acquaintance about three years ago. He was ignorant both of the time and manner of the offense. The young lady, however, soon macle it manifest by commencing a _ syMC mat i c espi on age on al 1 his iuc omin gs and outgoings. She followed this up with a series of letters addressed to an intimate friend of his in which the history of his private life from day to in detail. His social and misiness rchuion> wire, judging from this correspondence, as familiar to her as they were to him. All the letters were signed “ Cora Kent.’’ a name which she took no pains to conceal as being fictitious. This unpleasant correspondence was kept up with remarkable regularity for two and a half years—never less than three and frequently four letters being received each week by tlie involuntary mutual friend. All the letters were mailed ip San Francisco but each one bore alhfte-cent stamp. During this time the young man thus persecuted was unable to” identify his remorseless persecutor, and it was by the merestaccident the discovery was finally made, but the object is still a mystery. A letter addressed to-the young lady, mildly inti-, mating that if she continued her unwarranted persecution any longer she would find herself in the strong hands of the law, stopped the correspondence. <
