A singular way of wooing.

At an early hour Thursday morning,
the office of chief Of police was visited
by couple of ladies, the younger of
whom complained that her life was en-
dsugered by reason Of the hostility of q
rejected lover. 1t appears that she had
been wooed by O youth who dispeDses
mixed liquors on St. Charles street Not
finding the youth exactly up to her ideal,
she declined the honor of becoming his
wife. This conclusion was taken in high
dudgeon by the Lothario, who then and
there swore that she should either wed
him or die. To this end he procured a
huge revolver, aRd, giving her so many
minutes for decision, babe her take her
choice. OF course the young lady sought
to temporize, and, by means of promises
to think favorably of his suit, procured a
few hours delay. Then Fastening to the
chief she laid her griefs before him.
Sympathizing, as i n duty bound, with the
young lady, he dii patched a special Off
Ger to arrest the youth whose method OF
winning bride had been so novel.
When interroga.ted as to his reasons for
such singular course, he replied that
the girl had fooled d him twice before, and
he did not mean tn be subjected to any
more disappointlnents.
"But she has right to change her
mind, hasn't she p inquired the chief.
Not quite so often, sirl"
" But you doia't want wife that dis
likes you p
"Oh, that would soon wear away"
MAYBE not"
"Why, you don't think woman could
fail to love me, do you p asked the mod
est gentleman with an air of surprise.
II would like to know what should
admire in you p Indignantly inquired
the lady; lit ANT your beauty, GER
tainly," and she contemplated features
anything but regular and handsome.
II never said it was, nam | never
said it was; but it's manners, man; it's
my Manners" and the youth stroked his
chin complscently.-New Orleans Pic
ayune.

An Ex-Lord Mayor of Dublin on a
Visit IN New York.

Among recent arrivals in this city
from the old country is Sir John Bar.
rington, ex.Lord Mayor of the city of
Dublin. This gentleman is member Of
the society Of Friends, is respectfully con-
nected with the first families of that per.
suasion in Ireland, and is largely con-
nected with mercantile ond mining pur-
suits, as are also other members of his
family, who, like himself, are of ad-
vanced liberal opinions. The Barring
tons, Pins, Malcomsons and Bewloys are
we'll and favorably known in mercantile
circles in Dublin. Yesterday Sir John,
in company with friend, Mr.. Malcolm
son, who has long resided in this country,
visited some of the public places of this
city, and seemed to be quite well pleased
with all he saw. Probably before be goes
back he will visit the city Of Brotherly
Love, and hear there, as he would at
home, "the thee and thou of the Qua
kers." If we mistake not, Sir John was
Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1865, and in his
official capacity presided at the meeting
of the corporation of that city at which
resolutions we're passed expressing the
sorrow of the citizens generally on re-
ceiviug intelligence Of the assassin alton
of President Lincoln.-Neso York Her

The voudous = Election of a New
Queen.
From the New Orleans Times. 9th.I
The first of June, as is known to old
gossips. is the time of year that is devoted
BY the Voudou worshipers to the celebra-
ton of their most sacred rites. 1t is at
this period they retire to the Lake end
and indulge in frequent suppers and mid
night bathing, and that the dances and
other superstitious ebservances are prac-
ticed with the most vigor and intensity.
Any one who is curious to pay them
visit can do 30 by proceeding to the Lake.
end of the Pontchartrain railroad, and
going down the road on the right hand
side Of the track for half mile.
Another event that is reported to have
taken place on Monday was the browning
of a new Voudou Queen in place of the
celebrated Marie Lebau, who now num-
bers some sixty or seventy years of age,
and who, it need hardly be said, is too old
to longer discharge the onersus duties OF
the office. As most of these followers of
the fetish faith are in reality nothing but
worshipers of Venus or Astarts-thst is
to say, of youth AID beauty-they nat
urally are the frat to grow impatient of
old age, and so Queen Marie, in spite of
the dread with which her name is re-
garded, finds it best to resign the magic
scepter.
A curious study would be the rise and
growth of this dark superstition among
our colored, and, in some cases, foreign
populations, though il doubtless has
always existed in some form or other
since the first Africans were brought to
this country.
Old Marie herself, whose influence and
power have been welded without ques-
for the last twenty years, appears to
have been originally nurse and old
family servant known TO all the old popu-
latiou, and at one time in great request
in dressing the bodies of the dead. 1t
was from this occupation that her pre-
tensions to be the priestess of religion,
and to have the power of affecting events
by spells and charms, doubtless arose.
Her power was greatly disputed at one
time by a rival, who had the enterprise
to send to Africa for large doll-like idol,
and which, when dressed and bedeviled
with beads, tattoo marks and all manner
of Congo toggery, produced tremend
ous impression among the credulous. II
was regarded by Marie as such DANCE
rous talismsn that the idol was carried
away-was brought at one time before
the Recorder for him to decide whose
property il was, or whether any violence
had been used in wrestling il from its first
owner. However, the scales of justice
inclined against Rosalie; the magic doll
was decreed to the Queen, who doubtless
had the most power as a procuress, and
from that time to this the Voudou Queen
has swayed the minds of thousands of
believers in this city. II Is probable that
there are at this time dozen altars in
different parts of town.

The other side.

The detectives claim there are two
sides to the question of their relation to
thieves, and give several reasons why
thew should be encouraged. The princi-
nal one is that the educated intellect and
The trained skill of the world has found a
field in crime as really as in the indus
trial arts, and are accomplishing more
there than society is accomplishing to
oppose them. II is an admitted axiom
in respect to crime that nothing can re-
sist a burglars toels if be has time
enough TO use them. Materials of endu-
ring resistance are not easily devised nor
cbeaply made, and so the burglar is the
victor over society in every in
stance where the owner of property
has not the means of keeping his goods
in some repository which the burglar can
not get time enough to break through.
Such places are few. Society, therefore,
il nj the mercy of the skilled plunderer.
Now, it is just at this point that the
inquiry meets us: What is the object OF
a detective force? Is it 10 arrest Grim
iuals or to recover property Those who
have not had anything taken will say ar
rest. and those who are the victims of
crime will say recovery. III the ordinary
methods of guarding people against

Mad Horse--Another Phase of Hy.
dr0phObia.

The West Chester (Pa.) Republican Of
Monday says:
"On Saturday last horse owned by
Sewell Chambers, colored man, living
in Thornbury township, was seized with
hydrophobia. The animal had been con-
fined in field near Darlington's corner,
but by some means got out of the enclo-
sure into the public road. 1t attacked a
team belonging to William Farrell, who
was engaged in hauling stone to the rail-
road. The driver of the team succeeded
in driving off the mad animal, and it 10
not believed that it injured any of the
horses attached to the team. When the
fit was of, the poor brute wculd become
very weak, stsgger, and fall. When the
spasms returned, it would again rise, and
attack everything in its road. Several
persons were chased on to the tavern
porch, and one individual narrowly es-
capped being bitten. In its rage to bite its
own tongue was nearly bitten off. The
animal was finally secured in lot, where
it died during the night in great agony.
II was q valuable horse, and was used by
Mr.. Chambers in threshing grain, with
machine, through the neighborhood.
What is still more terrible to contemplate
is the fact that this horse is supposed to
have been bitten by dog belonging to
Mr.. Elias Baker, that was thought to be
mad, and bit two persons some three
weeks since-an account Of which was
published in this paper. This supposi-
ton is strengthened by the fact that Mr..
Bakers dog bit two other dogs on the
farm of Mr.. George Faucett. where the
horse was kept The dogs of Mr.. Fau-
cett we're killed Immediately after. The
two young men who were bitten, as well
as their immediate friends, are much
distressed over these facts; but it is
hoped that the means resorted 10 in their
cases will prove efectual against this
malady,

were possible to compel the community
to contribute rateably to make up his
losses to man whose house has been
entered, or whose counting-room has been
forced, so that be would have to bear only
his fair share of ferreting out the perpe-
TRAITOR, it would be well to hold the detec-
tives tightly to the duty of arresting and
convicting. But so long as this cannot
be done, they must and will do what the
people who employ them resort to them
for; they will bend their energies to saw
ing their patrons from ruin and beggary.

"why are Printers Dissipated ,

The Louisville Express explains the
above enigma as follows:
We have often heard this question
asked by persons who know but little or
nothing about printers, or, as the natu.
ralist says, their "habits and customs"
Did these persons who put their inter-
rogatory know how the poor compositor,
especially on morning daily papers (the
work on which is principally performed
after the hour of midnighO, tolls and
studies and studies and tolls over the
illegibe scrawliDgs of some misguided
and conceited long-winded scribbler, who
yainly imagines the world will have been
the better of after his views" have been
thrown broadcast Through the columns
of your valuable paper could such in
dividuals as put the above query be COM
pelled TO read, correct and make ordinary
common sense of a single page OF some OF
the startling kilograms received by
CABLE perhaps informing the New
World how the King of the Cannibal
Islands will have his next human victim
dressed for dinner, or what Minister
Washburne "took in his'n at his first
banquet at the Tuileries-they would,
most likely, not have enough sense
left at the completion of the
task to know whether they desired
to live any longer or not. These are
few-and only few-ofthe causes print
ers have for plunging into the flowing
bowl. But we contend that printers, as
class or craft, drink no more than other
artists. Some one put the question quo
ted at the head of this article to the i'm
mortal Spivens, of the Wheeling Inteth-
qencer. Spivens gave him the following
impromptu reply:

Where fash on fash was brightning,

much as the members of certain other
professions we know of. Yet, the honest
