LOLA MoNrEz IN SAcRAMENro.-At
persons, ladies and gentlemen, attended
to witness the second appearance of Lola
Montez in our city. The performances
proceeded very we'll until the Countess
appeared in her first dance, GEL . e."
From some cause she stopped suddenly,
and cast a most whitening glance at the
Orchestra, which induced parties in the
parquette to laugh at her, and manifest
some mirth. AT this she hecalnc highly
incensed, treated the audience with mark
ed dsrespect, and told them if her dane
ing did not suit them, she would leave
the stage, and off she went, with most
indignant disgust. This created general
discord and called forth n | sorts of re-
marks, Kisses and other signs of disre-
spect for her. At this moment Mr.. King,
one Of the popular and respected pro-
prietors of the Theatre, appeared, be-
sought the audience to become reconcil-
ed, and stated that Lola Montez had be-
come offended at some remarks made
concerning her by some person in the
house, but that she would finish the dance,
Following this, Miska Hauser, the cele
breted violinist, appeared and executed
a fayorite air, which restored order
Lola then appeared and completed the
dance. The succeeding performances,
passed off well and satisfactorily. Blu
the end Of the evenings entertainment
had not come, although its finale was ad-
journed to another place. After Lola had
left the Theatre, and returned to her
apartments at the Orleans, she was greet
ed by grand charivari, which ground out,
beat out and blew out the most discordnnt
and dreadful sounds that ever fell upon
the ear of man or woman. Drums, bells,
tin horns, kettles and penny whistles,
each served to add discord to the mock
serenade. OF course the crowd soon
gathered to immense numbers.
In moment or two the person thus
''mock'y honored" appeared at the win
dow-some say pistol in hand-to greet
the hand nf musicians. At all nvnntS sha
was there, courtesied, endeayored to
speak, gesticulated in an excited manner,
but all to no avail. The music was
kept up for a while, and the parties, after
giving three groans for Lola MOntez,
marched off to the sound of their instru-
ments. After they left, she again appear
ed at the window and spoke to those pre-
sent declaring that she did not think such
proceedings were countenanced by the
citizens Of Sacramento, and that no man
would be guilty Of such conduct. AT this
the crowd groaned again- Kissed, vel ed
and hooped "Order," ''ordef," said she,
"this is free country and tsiH speak !"
About this time the band again appeared
and saluted her with another serenade. -
She held her position, however, and found
time to invite the parties, to come with
their cash to the benefit OF the noble fire.
men on Friday evening. Having said
this she retired, when the band broke out
afresh, joined by a considerab crowd :,
who hnoted and yelled most vociferon>ly
In few moments more they retired and
peace was restored Thus wound up
Lola Montez's second appearance before
the Sacramento public.
We never before witnessed so great an
outburt ofindignation against any one as
was manifested on this occasion. We
may add too that her conduct was cen
Sured by many who witnessed it at the
Theatre. We regret that such an out
break of popular fee ing should have
taken place, but regret also that there
was considerable occasion for it.-State
