SOCIETY IN LOUISIANA. Professor Ingraham
gives the following little bit of description, in
letter to the Family Companion:
The society in Baton Rouge is very good, the
chief families, however, being French, though the
English language prevails. The southern females
are delicate in figure, fair compilations, with soft
olive tint, and hazel eyes, with brown hair. Bru-
nettes are very rare They are sprightly and gay,
very atfectionate, and make excellent wives The
Louisiana lady grows handsomer after twenty, and
is in her prime at thirty They marry very young,
often at fourteen Twenty is considered the first
s'epto old maidendom. The religion of the people
at large is Roman Catholic. Every village has its
priest and church. They are generally educated
men, who have seen the world, and know how to
enjoy life and to adapt themselves to the habits of
their wealthy Pensioners. Many of the planters
keep billiard tables in their houses, and after dinner
billiards are played great deal by both sexes and
certainly 1t is a more graceful pastime for a lady
than gentleman, nasmuch as it is gentle exer-
else, and displays all that grace of attitude and ele-
gance of movement which the female form is so
well adapted to unfold. In one of the parishes
there was priest who would not play billiards
with his Pensioners. Thereupon, they reported
him to his superiors at New Orleans, who conde-
scendngly recalled him, and supplied his place by
one who proved match for the best billiard man
i'll the parish.

AFFAIRS AT JEREMIE, ST. DoMINGo-The Bos
ton Traveller says letter from Capt. Fales, of the
schooner Mary Chiffon, to the owners in that city
reports his arrival at Kingston, Jamaica, from Jere
ME, on the 22d ult., with twenty-one passengers,
among them the Collector Of Jeremie,) refugees
from the violence of President Solo4ue.
The passengers came on board the Mary Chill
ton and the schooner got under weigh, but owing to
strong head winds, was obliged to come to anchor.
The President threatened to send guard on board
to search the schooner, upon which the passengers
all fled to the shore in different DISCUSSES, and Sc
creted themselves for the night the next day a
part of them returned, and the schooner mmedi-
ately left for Kingston.
Capt. Fales says his life was threatened by the
brutal soldiers Of Sologue, and that things were in
the most deporabe state at Jereme, but it does not
appear that the town was sacked or plundered as
had been reported; general terror prevailed, and
it seems certain that the negroes in these atrocities
are, to certain degree, connved at, if not actually
cOuntenanced by the President.

o. A European correspondent of Northern
journal, speaking of the dangers that threaten the
demolition of the British aristocracy from internal
