A Girl Playing the Dandy.—A daughter of one of our first families, who is now sojourning at Saratoga, says that a gentleman from N. Y., married and wealthy, visited the Springs last week, with his nephew "Charley," a bright handsome youth, who attracted the envy of the men, and the attentions of the ladies. Charley rode, smoked, drank and done many other fashionable things, and what might be called "fast." One day he drank too much and in consequence talked too much, stating, among other funny things, that he was a she—and that "Charley" was a woman. This proved to be a fact, and on the development the married New Yorker and the female Charley left for elsewhere.
