LOLA mogTEs

LOLA M0NTES.
Emineaoe, in this naughty world of ours, has
never failed to excite envy, and by conse-
quence, to induce persecution. This the lady,
whose name stands al the head of the present
article, can we'll testify. She is the victim of
the Jesuiss; ~ much so as any Of the charac-
tiers in the Wandering Jew. 1t is incredible
what means they resort to, to wrong and har-
Tass her. Sometimes they incite the manager
OF theatre to Zip her the cold shoulder, and
possibly TO order her off the stage. Sometimes
they induce landlord to charge her double
price for bad fare aud worse wines. Some.
times they contrive TO thrust one of their num-
Der into the Orchestra to throw her out, in the
midst of her most sublime 'pirouettes. Some
times they make her poodle sick, and some-
times they send rowdies into her room to
kick up. 9 row.. There is no knowing to what
means they will not resort, to get rid of their
capital enemy. Lola is prosecuted woman
there cannot be doubt of it. She is, like
Dogberry, entitled TO the compassion and con-
sideration of the world, for like Dogberry, she
is ga person that hath had losses.''
The last attempt bat one, of the Jesuits, up
on the victim oftheir tyranny, was made at her
own rooms. 1t was midnight. and the "clock
told the hour for retiring" but the gay party
who had been hours INDUCING in her cham
payne and egars, had not made up their
minds to leave the field Of battle. Champagne
had circulatedfreely, and SO did scandal. Mrs.
Forres: and her delectabIe ex.spouse were
brought on the carpet. The Count Carissirno,
an old friend Of Lolas, ventured to defend the
lady. Lola assailed her, on the other hand
with great bitterness. The dispute lasted for
hours, for Lola was jealous. She made furi.
GUS onset upon the Count, in which she was
backed BY several others, and the servants be.
ing called, he was elected, "sans ceremonie ct
sans caiottes;;" in other words, they tore all
his clothes off. Having recuperated, and re-
fitted, the Count, in whose veins the blood of
thousand illustrious ancestors was boiling, de.
termined to have the matter tried once again.
He called upon friend and countrymau, one
Count Manetta, to stand at his back. The
twain marched boldly up, but the door would
not open to them. Baffled in their attempt to
garry the position by storm, they determined
10 turn II, and take it in the rear. In other
words, they went up back staircase, and
came into the presence of the enemy before
they were aware that any assault was meditat-
ed. Then the battle began in good earnest
Then followed scene that would have done
good TO the heart of old Homer. Oh that we
had the brnzen lungs the old man sighed for,
when he wished to say something uncommon
strong" about Achilles, and his bu,chering
Myrmidons But there is no use in sighting, |
SO we will jog along in plain prose. |
First then, the Rev. Mr.. Pick clamped Caris-
simo, and Carrissimo clamped the Rev. MIR. |
Pick. Over and over this interesting couple |
rolled upon the floor, Lola, all the time stamp
ing, shouting, laughing, crying, and setting
her poodle on the intruder, as she used to set |
her bulldogs on the populace at Munich, |
when she was queen, or prime minister, or |
whatever she was, to his most sacred majesty, |
Ohio, King of Bavaria. But on this occasion, |
as on Others the major ris prevailed. Cars. |
simo and his friend were overwhelmed hy num-
bers, and were uneeremoniously elected the |
second time. Lola, with that sagacity Of
which she has given such repeated evidences,
traced it all home to her enemies, the Jesuits,
one Of whose emissaries, no doubt, Carissimo
was.
a day or two after, one ofLola's champions,
Polish Count, Cazinsky by name, published
a card in the Herald, which we did not see
bu, the contents of which We guess at, by the
following answer:
J. G. BENNETT, ESQ.
