A RE FUGEE BELLE.
Her Wonderful Beauty and
Wonderful Wardrobe.
n tbe New orleans Pieayune. Isth.

From the New Orleans Pieayune, lsth.l
The steamer BienvilIe, on her last trip
| from Havana, brought over a number OF
/ Cuban refugees. Among them Is per-
son whom the young lady readers OF the
/ Ptcdyligle will feel q great interest In.
| She was belle in Havana, srd the be-
/ trothed OF an insurgent ofiicer-sn heiress
| to immense wealth, and member OF the
! Spanish nobility. It would scarcely bs
necessary to say she is beautiful. There
are few ladies of that favored isle who
are otherwise. But our heroine is not
only pretty in the common acGeptat1on
of the world-but surprisingly lovely.
/ The chief object Of interest, however, is
! her wardrobe. Not even our city bellies,
! distinguished as they are for costly and
/ elegant apparel, ever dreamed OF such
i msg1iicelce. Think OF two hundred
/ dresses, shawis from the looms of Cash
/ mere, rich silks from Cairo. pearls and
/ emeralds that outrivsl those tn cleaned
/ in the tabled grotto of the OcednicdSj ;
and diamonds that would purchas3 u
/ princes ransom.
/ Her travelling costume was of dark ma
/ terial, futed in the last recherche style
of fashion, walking suit indeed. The
/ skirt of rich heavy satin, bordered at
the extremity by wide huting, from
the folds Of which peeps out rich lace,
intricstely blended with the graceful
puffs, disclosing the beautiful foot and
exquisitely turned ankle. A shorter
overskirt of the same material, but of
lighter shade, scslloped into half-dia-
mO1ds st the end, from which are PEN
dant satin tassels, cleaning with dis-
mond dust, reaches the upper edge OF
the hutipg. The waist ia of the same
material, with family defined vein of
red running through the center of the
stresmers attached to it, and which, too,
are fringed ct the sides and ends with
the diamond busted tassels-a diamond
shaped cape rests upon either shoulder,
and the points meeting at the waist are
secured by an opal pin. Pearls CLEAN
in the rich braid OF her black hair,
which is worn in the fashion Of Mary
S uart; the beautiful head is not dis
figured with unshsDeIy chignon aud the
Turkish horse-tsil floating like stresm-
er behind. A small velvet cap set jsun-
tily on the silkeD hair, sEd is adorned
with email white feather, secured with
large solitaire diamond; diamonds in
the small ears and on the breast; while
the fingers OF the right hand blazs IN a
diamond sheath. No wonder that the
young Cuban loved her. Seen, as the
reporter saw her, stepping from the cabin
Of the Bienville, 1t would not be difficult
to find him imitstOTs. Nor is the pToph-
eey too much to hazard, that unless s
gallsnt story, rich in brave achieve
meDts as any Paladin Of France, reaches
her from the isie, the young hero may
win his liberty, but he'll lose his bride;
for our youth are not Of the sort to per-
nit this fair exotic to bloom and blush
unseen.

TIE hypocriticsl cry of " economy -
raised by the Radicals In Congress, and

to excite the risibilities Of even their own

been saved by looping OF the outlay for
stationery ia the Reporters Gallery |!

A PECULIAR CAsE.-A commission
was issued by Governor Baker yester-
day to Mark Allen, as Treasurer of
Laporte County, under peculiar cir
cumstances. At the election in 1868,
the Board of Commissioners awarded
the election to his competitor, Mr.
Harris Allen appealed to the Coun-
ty Commissioners, who reversed the
award and decided ia favor of Allen.
Harris then appealed to the Circuit
Court, and pending the trial of the
case there Harris died. The incum-
bent of the Office then fled a motion
that the Court decide the case abated,
and that he be retained in the Office
on the ground that his commission
held good until his successor was
elected and qualified" Allen took
tho ground that the death of Harris
worked a dismissal of the appeal to
the Circuit Court, and shat he was
entitled to the con- mission upon the
decision Of the County Commission
ers. The facts being certified to Gov
ernor Baker, be issued the commits
sion TO Allen. Whether it will be
allowed TO rest here, or the contest
will be continued by Alexander, the
incumbent, in higher court, remains
to be seen.-Lndi0napolis Journal.

THE New York World, the most
independent Democratic Journal in

HoFFMAN's conf Icace in the honesty
OF the Democratic members elected to
the New York Legislature, and re
monstrances against that officials
glorifyiDg speech in this manner:
"The little speech which Governor
Hoffman made at Albany, on Friday
evening, expressed, in the main, ex-
ceIlent sentiments and intentions; but
il aFd not, ia all respects. quite come
uD 10 the gravity aud dignity which
hefit his responsible position. He Is
the official head OF the Democratic
PARTY iu this State, and all that he
saws on Its behalf. in this junctuTc,
should betoken earaes tncss aud deep
sincerity. He should, therefore,
offer no questionable and sweep
ing guarantees for the conduct
OF persons with whom he may
be imperleetly acquainted, aud
over whom he can exercise no very
direct control. What warrant can he
have for asserting, in the absolute
manner lie does, that among all the
Democratic members elected to the
new Legislature there is not one
whose honesty viii fail in the hour of
temptation? If be had expressed this
as hope, it would have been quite in
accordance with his character, and
have done no discredit to his sagacity
and penetration. But neither the
conduct Of all the Democratic men,
hers of the last Legislature, nor the
repute of all the Democratic officers Of
our City Government warrants so ab.
solute an assumption that the mere
fact Of an election by the Democratic
party is a guarantee of unassailable
virtue"
