by him applying for seats, publishes card, in
which he says, that "independent those assign
ed to city reporters, there are only twenty-four
reporters desks on the floor of the House. These
twenty four seats were regularly assigned by me
on the 21st OF December last; and until the House
shall make some alteration in the rule, il will be
apparent 10 all that applications for reporters
desks, made since that time, must be rejected II

s% One of those delightfully."- inter-
esting affairs, forcibly abduction case
recently came off in New Orleans. Pat
rick Ryan, a clerk in mercantile es-
tablishment, from some cause, became
impressed with the idea that he was dy-
ing, and that, all for love of his cousin,
the fair Honora Wood, a charming
schoolgirl of blushing sixteen. Patrick
very naturally failed to discover the
beauty of dying when the possession of
Honora would save him; but whether
she was at all disposed to become rem
edy for his mortal disease, is question
as yet unsolved. 1t is certain, however,
that her parents, being afflicted with
some strange hullucination, could not
appreciate Patricks fine qualities, and
were extravagant enough to consider his
pretenGons audacicus. Our hero dis
cussed all the knotty points with him
self, and came to unanimous decision
that Honora ought to be, and consequent.
ly should be his, sans the consent of her
infatuated parents, and without regard to
any little scruples which even she herself
might entertain. Having determined
upon his grand coup, he procured a car
riage and wedding-ring on Monday last,
and armed with one, he seated himself
in the other and took up position where
he could intercept his intended as she
came from school. He met her, and by
some process which is said to have rath-
er transcended the delicate, she was in
duced to enter the carriage, which then
proceeded rapidly down tie old Shell
Road to the landing of the Mobile mail
boats. Arrived on board, Ryan regis
tered his Honora, as he thought her; as
his sister, and appeared to amagine rs
the boat was about showing off, that he
lad done things up rather neatly His
airy castles were, however, suddenly
brought to a level with the vulgar earth
by the fair abducted, who sent for the
captain and stirred up all that is Quixot-
tish within him by the information that
she was being carried off against her will.
She was at once taken under his protec-
ton, but it was too late to return to
town, and all parties were taken to Mo-
bile. The Brother of the girl was tele-
graphed, and he having made an affida-
Wit, Ryan was taken into custody on the
return of the boat. He has given bail
for his appearance at examination, and
when that comes off We shall have both
sides Of the story. As it stands at pres.
ent, the affair affords fine nuorceau to
the lovers of the romantic. The girl is
pretty, and Patrick himself rather fine
looking and ''well to do" and the mate
rial is here for yellow-covered "thrill-
ing tale' of least one hundred pages

WoMEN IS. MEN.-W Women in all coun-
