New York, May 3, 1852.
So instead of duel. we are to have comic
opera, to be called, no doubt, "Lola Monies, or
life at the Howard House ~
We wish we could say that the Jesuits had
ceased TO prosecute Lola; but, alas. we are
writing history, and not novel. Wearied
out with their Vaccinations, she determined,

against Gotham, and seek the great West by
way of Albany. But they had not played their
last card, and just as she was stepping into
the cars, an officer handed her the following,
written not with small crow.quill upon gilt
edged paper" but in a bold running hand,
that looked far more like business than love:
CRY OF NEW York, Sc.
To the People ofthe State ofNew York, to the
citizens of the city Of New York, and to ev-
cry one OF them. greeting:
We command you TO summon Marie ID.
Landsfeld Head, lola Montes,) if she shall
be found in the said city, to appear before Jas.

Court, in The city of New York, for the first
Judicial district, at the Court room, No. IS
Warren street, in the said city, on the 18th day
of May, 1852, at nine o'clock in the forenoon,
to answer the complaint of Mary Jane Watson
for board and lodging, then and there TO be ex-
hibited, TO her damage one hundred dollars, or
under. Hereof fail not, and have you then
there this summons. Witness, our said JUS
tice of the said Justices Court. at the place
aforesaid, the third day of May, 1852.
ISAAC B. BACHELOR, Clerk.
Seeing no means of avoiding the trap, SO in-
geniously set for her by the followers of 1gna.
thus Loyola, she paid twenty dollars on the
summons and went on her way, whether re-
joicing or not, this deponent doth not venture
to say.
Previous to this last affair, on the Sunday
before. a scene had occurred at her lodgings,
which is thus described by the reporter for the
New York Herald
The dranatis persone on that occasion con-
sisted of the counts and barons and princes of
her train, the Reverend MIR. Pick and his cat,
the maid and dog of the Countess, and few
outsiders to show fair play-the scene was
enacted in MIR. Picks sanctum. The Count
ess's ire, it seems, had been aroused by let.
ter she received from her former friend and
agent, E. P. Willis, who has followed her from
Boston to this city, where he remains in cog.
Threats and tears were in turn res0rted to by
the offended Countess. A tremendous uproar
was kicked up. Stettos and pistols-even
one of Colts revolgers-and all sorts ofdan- |
gerous weapons, talked of in a most menacing |
manner; her mercy implored by recreant cava- |
hers on Bonded knee. and, on the whole, a |
most sanguinary contest impended, which |
would have entirely thrown into the shade the
battle royal of the Howard Hotel, Fortunate.
ly, however, terms were made and peace re-
stored. How The strife originated, or how il
ended, we could not positively ascertain !; but
it is stated that none of the combatants are
mortaiy wounded, and that they all adjourned
from the battle ground to the Countess's salon,
and got merry over her wines and segars.
The reporter seems to grieve for the lost
pleasures enjoyed by Gotham, arising out of
he excitement of these scenes. He saws:
The genius who created them has passed
rom amongst US, and left us to the ordinary
outline of life. Lola departed for Albany, at 5
'elock yesterday morning, with royal train
II princes, counts, barons. agents, mounte-
ranks, dancing men aud dancing women, file
te chombre, French poodle, and whole host
# camp followers. The expenses of her re-
niue are enormously large. They live in
ty OF extravaganza dissipation, only equalled
y the followers ofthe great Hungarian. Con-
umng an unlimited amount of tobacco and
randy, her bill al the howard Hotel reached
$3.50, of which $50 was for wine, cogniac and
egars. The Countess herself is temperate,
kept in the use of cigarettes, of which she
mokes FIVE hundred day-employing her
avaliers in carrying and presenting them to
Ter lighted; hut as to liquors, she abstains
rom their use, and is co:npletelv Ia favor of
he Maine Liqaor law. This may be turned 10
rood account in the capital. After leaving AL
,any she proposes to make a grand tour of
he West, and see all the curiosites of that re.
sion, in exchange for the greater curosities
: hich she brings to it. We would advise all |
me western journalists to keep themselves and
readers well posted up as to her movements
and vagaries, as there is no doubt bat she will |
kick up an emeate in every city, town and viii |
lage that she may make her resting place.
