Lola None: in Trouble Lola Nontc2,
it seems. had a difficulty on, the 2l-t nsi.,
with Mr.. Shirley, Of the Grass Valley Tel,
graph, on occount of certain publications ~
that paper in which such offensive express
sions as, "the Lola Mon,cz like impudence
aud siirontery of the Queen of Spain,
were used. The scene is ridculed in ee-
graphic despatch to the Sacramento Union ::
"Our town WAS thrown into state ot
ludicrous excitement this afternoon by tho
appearance OF Madame Lola Montez, rush
ing from her residence through Mill street
towards Main, with ladys delicate riding
whip in one hand and a COPY Of the Tclc-'
graph in anolher, ''her eyes in iinc frenzy
rolling" vowing vengeance on the scroun-
drel of an editor, &c. Sho mrt him at tho
Golden Gate Saloon, the crowd who were
on the qui rire following in h>r footsteps.--,
Lola struck at the editor with her Whip,
but he caught it and wre'tcd it from her
before she could hii hiGs bow. She then
applied womnn's best wcapon-h"r tongue.
Meanwhile her antagonist coHicndcd hm~
self with keeping most ilsuIIingly cool.--.
Finding all her endeavors poverless, the
divine Lola" appealed to. the miners, bn.
the only response rendehcd was STOUT OF
laughter. NJ Shipley, the editor, then re-,
tired, having, 10y his ca.mncss, completely
worn ont his iar enemy. The ap-
peas ot the Countess to the "honcst
miners" were powere>s, and so she invited
all hands in to take drink, bat The re-
sponse WAS groan. and none stepped for
ward to show thcmscvs her Champion
The whole a'o.s, 50 far as the lovely Lola
was concerned, WAS complete lnrcc."
The above is e,i!cntIy aprjndic,d d ac-
count, and 10 less so in regard 10 The lady
involved, than the COOKERS on who are
slanderou,ly chargcd with a breach OF
galantry ,ovarls The fair avongcr Of

ACAUTloN TO LovrRs os SODA BIS.
cuIr.-Soda Biscuit is sivoriie edible,
and we lay before our readers tho follow
ing story, published in the New York Post,
with the advice never to partake of soda
biscuit in the house of a physician
A few evenings since a party Of Ia
dies were invited to the house Of u physi-
clan IN this ciy TO sew for some benevo-
lent object, and in the course of events tea
was served. Some uncommonly palatable
soda buscuits were among the attractions
ofthe entertainment, and the guests all ate
OF them freely. Shortly after, the lady of
the house was seized with distressing
nausea and wa. obliged to retire. She
had hardly made her hurried apologies be.
fore her guests, one after another, COM
planned of illness,and before their friends CT
carriages could be sent for were all vomt-
ing in every direction The police in the
street came in to know the cause of the
rushing to and fro and in and out, and the
company were seized with fearful appro-
tensions Of having been poisoned. They
all had finally to be conveyed to their re-
spective homes. Upon an investigation it
turned out that the cook had by mistake
gone to the doctors closet and taken some
tartar emetic instead OF cream of tartar for
her biscuits, and had made them so very
light that they would not stay upon the
stomachs of any that ate them"

Pickpockets among The Ladies.-All OF
our larger cities are infested by class OF
rogues who devote themselves 70 picking
the pockets Of lades-perhaps because they
think the chances Of capture in case OF de-
lection are slighter, or perhaps because they
think that il thehe days of woman's rights
the ladies' hold the purse strings, and carry
the money. In New York, few days
since, two well dressed men got into an
omnibus, and assuming opposite seats, ac-
cidentaly, As it seemed, threw portions of

OF vegetable, fruit or grain raised in this
country can be procured in Palestine.
