her youth the charms of person which
had first enslaved the king vanished in
the course of three or four years, and she
speedily became mistress of mere form

beauties gratiied the passions of the mon
arch, while Madame de Pompadour had to
rely for the maintenance Of her ascendancy
on the power OF haoit, which was alien

Howard streets. As the turnings were ir-
regular, they were suspected to be false by
Mr.. Winter, the night operator at the cen
trail station, and were consequently not re-
sponded to. Lieutenan Sheehan, from
whose district (the Fourth) two of the
alarms were given, was notified accordingly,
and at a late hour reported that the alarms
had been given by three men who made the
rounds of the First and Fourth Districts in
buggy, stopping at the boxes and giving
the alarms AS above. One of them was in
his shirt sleeves and wore II straw hat, the
other two were dressed in black.
Political
At n regular meeting of the executive
committee of the Union Republican party
and Ben Butler clubs, held ut Fenian Hall,
corner of Poydras and Carroll streets, last
evening, the usual routine of business was
transacted, committees reported, etc.
Capt. James Duane, i'll a very handsome
manner, explained why he had rendered his
resignation AS a member Of the organiza-
ton, in substance that he had been refused
registration and he thought it improper
and ungentlemanly to attempt to act with
committee under these circumstances. The
committee having no doubt he would yet
be allowed to register, and knowing him to
be a thorough Union man, refused to accept
his resignation by a resolution, which was
adopted.

" Only God IL Great

certain pasha, dead five thou ana years,
once from his harem fled in sudden tears,
And had this sentence on the city's gate
Deeply engraved, "Ony God is great"
so these four words above the city's noise
Hung like the accents of an angels voice,
And evermore, from the high barbacan,
SaIuted each returning caravan.
Lost is that ci'y's glory. Every gust
Lifts with crisp leaves the unknown pasha's dust.
And all is ruIn-save one wrnked gate
Nhereon is written. " Only God is great"
