Lola Montez and her Maid.

b.. =. a
The New orleans True Della of Wednesday,
says that on the previous day Lola Montez had
quarrel with her maid, who demanded payment for
her work and dismissal from service, and urged
the demand with so much democratic daring, that
CouneSsgrew furious, and forgetting her arrstocrat-
&c distinctions of rank, "ptched into her, vul-
CARLY SO speaking, and CAV. her what comical
lrishman, said 10 have, been named Paddy, once
gave the drum.
The maid then proceeded to the Recorders Of
flee and obtained warra It for Lola arrest, which
two officers of the city rolice attempted to execute
at her residence.
The DGnseuse, however, refused 10 submit to the
law, and threw herself her dignity, and declared
that she was Countess. The officer declared that
Countesses did not pass current in this country.
Them drawing dagger, the fair Lola declared that
she would defend her own liberty and honor.
Matters had now arrived at pretty pass. The
flashing eye of the heroine of Bavaria as fear
ul and brilliant as the bright blade she held i'll her
dexter hand, and the two officers quailed before
her.
AT length, when one of them engaged the at
tenton of the heroine in front, and with bravery
which did homer to his Moslem badge, parted her
passes, the other, by counter movement, made
an attack from the rear, and seized the Countess by
the arms Now came the tug of war. The Coun
sss lost her dirk, but teeth were left, and she
used them on the hands and persons OF her oppo-
nents with an energy whichproved their soundness.
While this storm was going on within, the friends
oil the Countess gathered around her dwelling, and
things had taken. Some of them, at length got
into the room, and the Countess by move, for
moment obtained her liberty, at their request.
She then stepped up 10 the sideboard, seized a
small vial labelled poison, swallowed its contents,
and then, with triumphant voice, exclaimed:
" Noio shall be free from all further indignity!"
1t followed Of course that the Countess tainted,
came to, smoked two segars, tainted again. and the
officers, though doubling the reality of the poison,
were fain to leave their fair arrestee under pro-
mise made by her friends, that in due time she
would appear before the Recorder.
The True Delta concludes its statement by say
ing that the matter has been compromised between
the mistress and the maid and that the poison has
luckily turned out most harmless.
