Mary Boyer, the Oldest courtesan in Louisville
died in private house on Magazine street on
Thursday last, and was buried the following day
Until yesterday very few persons in the city were
aware of the fact Of her demise, and many discre.
dited the report OF her death. She spent the last
hours of her life with family friends and her re-
mains were quietly conveyed to Cave Hill Gene
terry. where they were inferred.
The name OF Mary Boyer was perhaps more
widely known than that of any other woman in
Kentucky, not altogether from the unenviable DO
sition she occupied but from characteristics which
distinguished her from those by whom she was
surrounded during the greater portion OF her life.
At the time Of her death she was between 70 and
so years Of age. She was born at place known
as the Ponds settlement. twelve or thirteen miles
from this city, on the Salt river road. Old citi-
zens Of Louisville remember her only as Polly
Langsdale, or Langsdon-they forget exactly
what the name was-a very pretty, but an unefu-
Gated GIRL and know little of her history. In after
life, strange as it may seem, she claimed among
her lovers some of the most prominent men Of
Kentucky. She married cigar maker named
Boyer, from whom she was divorced in Ohio, but
she retained his name to the day of her death.
After their separation he went to California. For
the past twenty-five or thirty years she has been
the head Of house on Lafayette street, and left
that locality In July last, since which time she has
lived in seclusion. For some time previous to her
death she suffered from a species of insanity,
tnouBn sue was very uecIeplt ana perlectly narm-
less. She was reputed to be very wealthy, but
probably died poor. At the time of her death her
property, which consisted Of two houses in La
fayette street, was decided to relative the larger
building being valued at $4,000 or 1000.
Upon this property, however, there were said to
be heavy mortgages, and abe was alleged to be
considerably in debt.
The life of old Mary Boyer was no model, but
il can never be said with truth that ever beggar
went from her door hungry. The unfortunate
never asked her aid In vain and the poor who par
took of her bounty. when they blessed her for her
charity, thought Of her only ss the ministering
angel she was to them. Whatever may have been
her faults, sfe was possessed Of many noble quail
ties that would have graced far different sphere
from that ia which her lot was cast, and, what
ever the world may say of her, Mary Boyer did
not die unmourped. - =.

Democratic EytraVagance.

i
In defense of the Democratic
Legislature the Gazette announces
with a great flourish of trumpets
that the tax levy for State purposes
has not been increased over what it
was last year! Tha. argument may
be very delusive one, and when
explained may prove even more
damaging than profitable to that an
lamented sink of corruption and ex-
travagance-the Democratic Legis-
lature.
The Republican Legislatures that
preceded this Democratic Legislature
reduced the rate of taxation from
SO cents on the 800 in 1863 to 80
cents On the 500 in 1866, being a
reduction of Is on the 500 in three
years. In 1867 the Democratic
party fought the campaign ON the cry
Of "high taxes and promised the
people a great reduction in their taxes
il they would give it the power
The people were credulous enough
to trust them, and now, at the end of
two years, the organs OF the party
seek to comfort the people by the
assurance Mat their tdres haze not been
increased. In order to make IL appear
that the taxes have not been increas-
ed, however, they are compelled to
resort to such suppression of the
truth as in ethics amounts to lie.-I
1t is true that the total rate per cent.
of levy has not been increased, but
owing to the increased return of
property for taxation in 1868, over
the return in 1866, the amount of
taxes was very much greater Even
with this increased collection, the
extravaganza of the last Legislature,
in the extended session that for pay
of members, clerks, &c, cost $780,,
624.10 more than its Republican
predecessor the forty ne,c offices
created at a cost of $4,000 per an
mum, and the various other increased
amounting i'll the ag-
gregate to about sl,500,000, compel
led them either to increase the rate
of taxes for general revenue purpos
es, or reduce the rate of payment OF
the State debt. In order, therefore,
to deceive the people and make such
a showing as would not indicate the
greatly increased expenditure for
general revenue purposes, they de-
crease the levy for payment of State
debt, and increase the levy for other
State purposes about 100000. The
levy for the payment of State debt
was l2 cents on the 500 last year
and now it is 7 cents on the 500,
while the levy for general purposes
last year was 10 cents on the 500
and now it is Is cents on the 500,
showing that nearly one-half of the
taxes heretofore collected to pay off
the State debt are this year to be
transferred to the general revenue
fund to meet the actually increased er-
of this Democratic Leeis.

BENTON ITEMS.

An apology is no doubt due the
editors Of the JEFF. for my seeming
neglect Of furnishing items from our
town. I have looked in vain for
some time for report from 'Ebenez.
er,sAntonio,' items, and the balance
of the Brigade. Have they gone over
the dam? They should not as long
as the Courier has its long cared
correspondent. 1t is interesting, to
me at least, to read the news from
our neighboring towns. Our town
has been almost void of items as we
have had no beer or whisky parties
since Mr.. Eli Wheeler has taken
charge of our Grocery Store. To
his honor and the credit OF the neigh
borhood. it may be said that he keeps
strictly temperance grocery, and
that there cannot be bought glass
of whisky or beer in our town; and he
has promised that he will conduct
his business on "that line." / am
unalterably opposed to patronizing a
whisky seller in any form, but when
a man takes charge of q grocery. and
empties out the lurking demon, he
should have the influence of all tenn
perance men.

The Paraguayan War

The war against Paraguay appears
to be drawing to q close; and the
gallant struggle Of Lopez to have
been unavailing. 1t has been one OF
the most tragical and interesting
contests since the days of the Dutch
Republic. The cause espoused by
the allies is that of liberty and en-
ligttment but the manner in which
they have carried on the war does
not entitle them 70 any great degree
Of credit, while on the other hand,
Lopeze has defended his country,
and been supported by his people,
with skill and valor that are enti-
tied to the warmest admiration. As
our information about the progress
of the war has almost exclusively
come from the allies, it has been i'm
possible to tell exactly how matters
stand between the contending par
ties. Over and over again have we
been told that the Paraguayans were
annihilated but Lopez has invaria
bly, turned up again, entrenched in a
new stronghold, and apparently rs
little disposed to surrender as ever.
Taking all things into consideration,
however, there is no doubt that the
Paraguayans are in great straits, and.
desperate as is their yalor, it will be
impossible for them to hold out
much longer. Indeed, Lopez prac-
tically admits this in a pronuncla-
mento recently issued, which there
is every reason to believe to be au-
thentic.
The latest intelligence from Rio
Jsneiro gives an official report that
Lopez has offered, through Minister
Mcmahon, to surrender on condition
that he is granted his personal free
dom and will be permitted to leave
the country without molestation.
There is good reason to believe that
this is true, for it must be practical.
ly impossible for him to prolong the
contest, and the allies will probably
be only too glad to let him 90 in
peace, for the war has been ruinous
to them, and they ought to be well
satisfied with having accomplished
their object. The defeat of Lopez
will open one of the richest districts
of South America to the commerce
of the world, and the cause of civiliz-
alton and progress will be promoted
by the success OF the aRies.-Cleve-
land Leader.
