" \ lovely apparition sent,
To be q moments ornament


She wore q white muslin bodice almost as
transparent as the gauzy veil sometimes worn
BY the Queen of Night, only the more fully re-
vealing what it fans TO conceal; skirt of rain
bow hues. On her head was SCI jaunty, sau-
cy-.ooking bonnet, sort of compromise between
Prince Charles, and modern Hungarian hat.
Around her throat she wore narrow black band,
with couple of black bows attached to her
shoulder.
Her movements are graceful, her time perfect,
her smile bewitching; but--she was never made
for mere dancing girl. She is lost Peri, a
stray Angel, a Star unsphered a Cleopatra with
out a throne Another Herodias' daughter, who,
by her vi,cheries, can compel kings to give her
half their kingdoms, or bring her the heads Of
her enemies in basket.
AS notoriety, beauty, feminine phenom-
ena, she is worth seeing. But Barnum's Mu-
scum would be quite as appropriate place for
the exhibition as the boards Of the Ballet. And
probably private entertainments, or public ban
quets, given by Lola at So to SO admission,
would prove far more profitable than any theat-
Yica engagement she can make in America-
There is universal curiosity to see her; and
out OF this curiosity, if rightly managed the
Countess of Landsfelt may make q fortune in a
twelve month If the Ballet should not sue
coed, why then let her give course of lectures
on subjects with which she is most familiar, viz ::
the imbeCility Of the worn out monarchies of the
Old World, and the necessity of regenerating
the effete Civilization o. Europe The applause
which followed the delivery of the following lit
tie speech when she was called before the cur
tain at the end of the performance, is an indica-
ton that Lola's tongue is even more captivating
;han Lola's toes:
! ~ -
bottom of my heart for the very kind reception
you have given me, poor stranger, in your no.
bic land.
P. S. It is but just to add, that Lola's style
of dancing is rigidly modest-her creates, an
giles not exceeding forty-fve degrees and al
though nothing in the shape of narrow, "obso-
leto IDEAS covered the upward combinations Of
her ankles yet lots of lawny cloudy muslin
somewhat mystifed her motions, and gave a con-
fused indefniteno S to her fgurations--N Y.

ANECDOTE OF LORD HOLT.

Having prolonged during his irregular youth
one OF his unlicensed rambles round the couu.
Try, In company with some associates as reckless
as himself, until their purses were all utterly ex-
hausted, il was determined after various con-
situations how to proceed, that they should part
company, and try to make their way singly,
each by the exercise of his individual wits
Holt, pursuing his separate route, came to the
little inn OF a struggling village, and putting the
best face upon the matter commended his horse
TO the attention of the hos.er, and boldly be-
spoke the best supper and bed the house afford
ed Strollng 10 the kitchen, be observed the
daughter of the landlady-a girl of about ,hir-
teen years of age--shivering with fit of aCue :
and on lnquiring of her mother how long she had
been Ill, ne was told nearly year, and this in
spite OF all the assistance that could be had by
her IRON physicians, at an expense by which the
poor widow declared she had been half ruined
Shaking his head with much gravity at the men
ton of the doctors, he babe her be under no fur
ther concern, as she might assure herself her
daughter would never have another fit Then
scrawng few Greek characters upon scraD
OF parchment, and rolling it carefully up, he d.
rected 1t should be bound upon tho girls wrist,
by good luck, or possibly from the effect of i'm.
agInatlon--the ague returned no more-at least
during a week. for which Holt remained their
guest. At the end of that time, having demand
ed his bill with as much confidence as if his
pockets were lined with jacobuses, the delight
ed hostess, instead of asking payment, bewailed
her inability to pay him as she ought for the Won
derful cure he had achieved and her i'll fortune
in not having lighted on him ten months sooner.
Her guest consented, after much entreaty, 10 Sc,
off against his weeks entertainment, the valua-
bic services he had rendered. and wended merri-
ly on his way.
The sequel goes on to relate. that when pre-
siding some forty years afterwards at the assizes
of the same county, wretched, decripid old wo-
man was indicted before him for witchcraft, and
charged with being in possession of a spell
which gave her power TO spread diseases among
the cattle, or cure those that were diseased =
The Judge desired that this formidable weapon
of sorcery might be handed up TO him; and
there, enveloped in many folds of dirty linen, he
found the identical piece OF parchment with
which he had himself played the wizard 50 many
years before. The mystery was forthwith ex-
pounded TO the jury; it agreed with the story
previously told by the prisoner the poor craa-
ture was instantly acquitted, and her guests
long standing debt amply discharged

CULTIVATE FLAX.-A correspondent of
Hunts Merchants Magazine gives some vaua-
bic information on the subject of Flax in connec-
ton with the various experiments recently mtdc
upon this fibre in combination with cotton, silk
and wool.
From this communication we learn that the
annual import of linen 70 the United States is
valued At S6,0O0,0 900 that we import from Cal
cuita and Russia is Sl.O0O,O0O worth Of flax
seed and Of linseed oil from England and lIol-
land TO the value of 81 800, 900. Now oil this
can be avoided by cutiyating the raw material at
home, and the more especially as it has been
demonstrated by recent experiments made by a
celebrated French chemist, that the Flax fibre
can, by chemical agencies, be converted into a
soft, silky substance, and in that state be spun
by the ordinary cotton machinery, and if thought
proper, thati; can be mixed with cotton, silk and
wool to advantage.
This production Of science must necessarily
lead to corresponding effects in the arts of cloth
manufacture, and in no country on the Globe
can these discoveries be more fruitful in produ-
cling good effects than in Chicago Jour-
nal.
