The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-05-02

The queen was crowned. Petitions were grace
fully addressed TO her by the seasons and by the
flowers, and she distributed her fayors with re.
gal discretion that satisfied the whole court,
which, by the way, was right royal in appearance.
The wishes OF the cOOrtiers and the responses Of
the sovereign were as became the occasion, eX-
pressed in poetic style and poetic measure, and
II rarely occurs that an audience is so deeply in-
terested in academic exhibitions as the audience
were in this instance. The recitations of several
of the children and young ladies were admirable.
and the musical interludes, vocal and instrumen-
tai, were very agreeable.
In the course of the entertainment, Miss.
whose name we were unable to learn, gave the
Spanish castaDet dance, with grace and modesty
that was refre shing TO those who have only seen
the tTavesties of that charming dance, unusually
presented on the public stage.
Upon Miss Roselius devolved the arduous duty
corresponding to that Of stage manager" and
her talent for organization and direction contrib
uted much to the pleasures of the entertainment.
The room was filed with spectators. A num-
Der of clergymen were present and participated
with the ladies and lay gentlemen present in the
enjoyment of a delightful and edifying May party.

CURIOUS CASE OF ALLEGED KIDNAPPING. Some
seven or eight years ago q young man named
Marquee, whose father is at present residing at
the corner OF st. Peter and Claiborne streets,
married in this city. He died within year after
the marriage, leaving his wife enciente. Before
her delivery. she entered into matrimonial rela-
tions with one Morris Mayer who is living at the
corner of Magnolia and Gravier streets. The
child Of Marquee, a girl, came into the world at
the period when Mayer was enjoying the honey
moon, and in the course Of time boy was born
to himself. Disagreemeuts came, and Mayer and
his spouse separated. Marquee took charge OF
bis sons offspring, and Mrs. Mayer retained pos
session of the other child. Mayer seems to have
been desirous to get the boy into his charge, but
failed in several attempts. He at last hit upon
the idea Of sbductiDg the grandchild Of Mr.. Mar
quez and holding her as hostage to ransom the
boy with. Seeing the girl, who is now six years
and half old on the streets on Thursday, he
seized her and took her to his apartments. Daring
the day the abduction was discovered and traced
TO Mayer, against whom complaint for kidnap.
ping was made before Recorder Gastinel, and
Mayer was arrested, and the girl, to her delight,
was restored to her grandfather. TO whom she
seems to be strongly attached. Mayer gave bond
TO appear to answer the charge, the examination
of which has not been set yet.
