[From the n. Y. Times.l
There are few readers of the newspaper
literature of the day who are not familiar
with the name of that eccentric, brilliant,
imnnlsive woman known MS Lola MOntez.
AS dnnSeuSc, an actress, politician, a
oOurteZan, II lecturer, devotee, she has
occupied large space of the public at
tention Tor many years, both in this coun-
try and Europe. Her career, so strangely
cratic, so wonderfully cLecaured, came TO
its end on Thursday last. After length
cned period of suffering, during which the
knowledge of her approaching end quick
ened her renewed preparations to meet it,
sue brentled her last TRANQUILITY, the vic
tim of paralytic complaint which de!ica
the medical skill Of New York. Her fu-
neral took place on Saturday, and was at
tended with no other demonstration than
that of affection for one who was known
TO be kindly in her actions to others, and
who, IN the hitter days of her life, sue
ceeded i'll winning tile esteem and regard
of wide circle of friends
Lola MonteZ was born in the City of
Limerick, Ireland, in the year 1878. Her
parents were Euglish on the patcrnal and
Spanish on the maternal side. Shortly
after her birth, her father, who was a
Captain in the army, wns ordered with his
regiment TO India, where Lola (wLo had
received the names OF Marie Dolores Eliza
Rosannn Gilbert( remained .Gor- two or
three years 1t was here that she cxpe-
rienced her tirst misfortune. Her father
was carried off by cholera, and she COM
ncnccd that wonderful series of migra-
tions which have made her name familiar
in allpHrts of the world. She returned TO
Europe, and being n young and beautiful
child, with temperament of rare viYaci-
", was welcomed in her father's family.
There WINS even some jealousy displayed
as to who should possess her. a part Of
her time was passed in Scotland, a part in
London, apart in Paris. nnd finally II part
in Bath, where Lol" completed her educn-
ton, and nude preparations TO return to
India with her mother 1t was Mt this
time (shc was only IA years Old) that She
discovered she was the possessor of n will
and temper of her own. Mamma, with
the usunl foresight OF her kind, had con-
tracted match for the budding Lola, and
had settled that young lady's dcstinics in
n business-like maternal way. The cho-
sen swain was n very rich and very yellow
Nabob, who had expressed desire to
have young wife shipped TO him, and cx-
pected her in due course with his next lot
of blue pills and bitter beer. Lola cx-
Ploaed with anger, and mamma refused to
be comtorted. Cancellation being impos-
sible, Lola determined to call in the nd-
vice of a military friend. That gentleman
dellhernted Onthe matter, and the next
day elOpcd with her, MS the wisest thing
that could be done under the circum.
stances. They were married aud Lola be-
came Mrs James-thc male bearer Of the
name being Captain in the army.
Eiopemcnt appears to have been this
gentleman's specific for all the ills of life.
few months after his wedding he was
ordered to India, aud scarcely had he
touched that burning shore when his ar
dent nature provoked him to desert Ills
young wife and elOpe with nnOther lady.
Without any resources, poor Lola was
compelled TO return to the roof of her in
diguant mother, who resided at Calcutta.
Her treatment while there was anything
but gentle. She wns locked up like a
prisoner, and released only when her
health aud spirits had taken flight. 1t
became necessary for her restoration that
she should return, to Europe, and this she
did.
The sensation of hclplcssuesS which she
h9d experienced, and the indignities to
whichit had subjected her, were probably
the causes that first directed her attention
to the subject of some profession in which
she might attain IN independence. The
stage is the aspiration of all lorn woman-
hood, and towards the stage she now bent
her best endeayors. As Mn actress she
doubted her own powers, especially her
knowledge of the language, and deter
mined therefore to become a dancer
Her studies were prosecuted with vigor.
partly in Englnnd and partly in Spain.
AT length she succeeded in making her
debut at one of the London Theatres. II
was success, and Lola felt that now In
decd she bad the world before her, and no
mamma TO persecute her for her mikfor-
tunes. That respectable lady, indeed,
never more recognized Lola, aud chose to
regard her as dead from the moment she
stepped on the stage of Her Mdjesty's
Theatre
1t is sluotnccessary to follow Lola's move
ment as an artist. They came to n tempo
rary end in Paris, where. having made the
acquaintance of an editor, Daiuarrier by
name, she became indOctrinated with The
ultra Republicanism of the day. Thence
forth she devoted her acute intellect to the
study of politics and the persuasion Of
parties. She was betruthed to Dujarrier,
and would have married him, but, few
days before the nuptiRIs, that gentleman
was killed in a duel und she found herself
once more Overtaket by calamity. As
an artist she WAS not ,nurl, relisbed by the
PNrisians, and after the death of her priu-z
cipal patron, she determined once more to
make a tour. II was on the dancing ex-
cursion to which we have ALLUDED, that she
first visited Munich tls46) and succeeded
in winning the attention of King I;ouis-Ss
