Lola Monies is carrying everything before her,
from Washington southwark. Her triumph in
that section is a significant commentary on tbs
failures Of Kossuth and Kinkel. Even the organs
Of the government, at Washington, have given her
their endorsement. The secret, however, is out

The arrival, reception, ard career Of Lola
Monies, in this country, are very peculiar. She
came among US in the same ship with Kossuth.
She was, for time, eclipsed and completely thrown
into the shade by the frore of the glorfcation Of
the great Hungarian For several weeks she was
thus compelled 0 keep dark. Her reception had
been cold and chilly. Our magnificent Barnum had
made dea set against her in anticipation of her
advent. His agent had failed in Paris to engage
her for another grand speculation, Ia Joyce Heth
or Jenny Lind He accordingly issued his affidavit
against her, as sort of coup a'etat Ia Napoleon.

have arisen, in part, from the timely discovery Of
the real legal sentiments Of Lola upon the "Maine
liquor law" Notwithstanding she is practically
a member of the Temperance Alliance At all
events, her reception in New Y ork was cool; and

Fanny Elssler, MADAME Celeste, and other dancing
celebrities She had nearly the whole press against
