A PRETTY STORY, BUT A PROBABLE
Fiction.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial thus
writes
Woman, as history tells us, has some
times done great mischief. IF they
can no longer destroy nations they can
at least annihilate parties. And that
the once great Democratic party now
broken up in fragments-who would
believe it ?-is if not the work of, at
least to be ascribcd to Che fair daugh-
tiers of Eve My authority for this
assertion is good one deserving
credit.
Everybody knows that the President
has niece, Miss Lane, who has been
doing the honors at the White House,
She has formerly been with her uncle
in England, where of course she has
had access to the court circles, thus
necessarily becoming little aristocrat-
ic. When she returned to this coun-
try, she became the presiding lady at
the White House of course, consider
ing herself the first lady in the country,
and expecting that all the other ladies
would bow to her. Early in 1851, she
met at party Mrs. Douglas, then only
a short time married, and surrounded,
not only on account of the position of
her husband, but of her own beauty
and youthfulness- latter attrib-
utes Miss Lane does not possess to the
same extent-by an admiring circle.
A gentleman paid Mrs. Douglas a
very fattering compliment, which ma
fortunately offended the pride of Miss
Lane. She went home and told uncle
Rabout it, who, being animated by the
same feeling against the husband of
his niece's rival, Immediately took her
part. AT another party, the dislike
between the two ladies still increased
till it broke out in open war, Mr.. Bu-
chanan, believing that his niece ought
to be the first lady in the country, and
not Mrs. Douglas and thinking that
Mr.. Douglas should play too strongly
the part Of crown prince to the king,
concluded to let Linn know something
about it. The GOODNESS existing be-
tween the two ladies by the by, pre-
vaded the two gentlemen, and thus the
war between the red and white rose
begun, and ended in the destruction of
the Democratic party. Small causes

The Death of Lola Montez.

Lola Montez died few days ago
and the press has been giving her the
usual obituary notices. Many news
papers, relying only on the SANDERS
started long ago by the Jesuits, have
taken up the popular cry against this
much abused woman; and yet it has
never been proven that any impurity
rested on her character. The first
Sian 1ers uttered were made by a di-
rector in one of the foreign theaters,
whose presents she refused, and the
Jesuits, who feared her political in
fuence in Bavaria, steadily pursued
her with their defamations to the day
of her DEATH The writer saw Lola
upon her first appearance in this coun-
try, and her personal beauty Nature
could scarcely excel, contrasted sadly
with her pale and sickly appearance
when she presented herself before us
as a public lecturer some months ago.
She was thwarted, unfortunate crea-
tnre from her earliest youth, and an
object of pity and sympathy rather
than creature to hate and scorn. -
At some pains we have gathered the
following facts from her history, as
told by herself and the most of them
are endorsed by the editors of the
American Law Journal, who have
been at considerable pains to see jus
tice done to a much injured woman
Lola Montez was born in the city
of Limerick, in the year 1924 Her
father was son OF Sir Edward Gil
bert, and his mother, Lady Gilbert,
was considered one of the handsomest
women of her time, The mother Of
Lola was an Oliver, of Castle Oliver
and her family name was of the Span
ish noble family Of Montalyo, descen-s
ded from Count de Montalyo, who
once possessed immense estates in
Spain, all of which were lost in the
wars with France, and other nations,

bidding, busy hands were at once at
work. All the long summer day the
ringing sounds of the woodehopper's

miner, broke the stiffness of the forest.
Like enchantment the woods melted
away before the spirit of enterprise,
and before long the rocks that had on

place to suit the secret purposes of
the counterfeiters, their haunts were
broken up and since both Brantly and
Rovineau were too much attached to
Bellwood to care about leaving, their
connection with the band vas dis

Taking up tract of land, Bill soon
found more agreeable employment in

contemplation of his own domestic

the counterfeiters became memory

but justice to heclerk to say, that
neither he. nor Blanche knew of the
secret league. They had taken it for
granted that Rovineau's object in re-
treating to Bellwood was the better
to conceal the stolen child. AS the

CHAPTER VI.


Once more a group were gathered
in Rovineau's cabin. Blanche was
there, with her fair hair and her pure
radient face; Laurette, too, with her
dark eyes, heavy and swollen with
weeping, while Jerome, Brantly and
Rovineau made up the party. They
had been discussing the guardianship
of the weeping girl; whether she
should be given up to the protection
of her natural guardian, or allowed to
remain as heretofore under the care of
Mark, to whom she had become dear
as daughter
Of course, / have no right to
plead my attachment to your sister,
p Monsieur Leclerck, but it will be
hard thing to part with her." said Ro-
vineau at length, drawing a long
breath.
81 don't see any better way than
to let Lanrette decide for herself"
suggested Brantly. who had till now
been silent, though anxious listen
have been thinking of that my
self,"' replied Leclerk +" Dear as the
q memory and the hope Of sometime re-
gaining my lost sister have been to
me, dsarer though she has become to
me since / have seen her, in her girl
ish beauty, yet I do not wish to be
entirely selfish. You have been a
father to her, Mark Rovineau, and if
she decides to remain with you, ]
promise to abide by her decision"
"Then choose, dearest, J" said Brant-
ly, raising the light figure, crouching
z beside Rovineau on the settee, and
removing the little fingers that hid
her face, with firm hand, but tender
" and gently.
For a moment Lanrette seemed to.
waver, and her eye glanced quickly
from the spot where Jerome stood be-
side the beautiful Blanche, to where
Revineau sat, pale and silent, while
Just behind him stood her lover, with
j, his arms folded and his dark face aver
ted, lest she should see the sorrowful
anxiety depicted uponit. eee =
= "A moment of indecision, then Lau,
rette spoke firmly, az have made my
choice Proud thought ought to be

my loss, but should leave no one to
comfort Bill and father Mark They
would miss me more than you will,

either" and springing to Marks side,
q she nestled her head on his bosom,
with the same earessing, tender conf
dence that has SO endeared him to
her since her very childhood.

Jerome, smiling through the tears
which he cared not to conceal "But
