The Mayoress of the Communists.

GdliQnani furnishes a report OF the
trial of Marie Leroy, widow, who was
called 1.-the handsome Mayoress OF the
Communists She was charged first,
with having, by cries and menaces, en-
deavored to excite an attempt to cause
devastation and massacre in the City of
Paris /; second, of completely in assisting
Urban III his viole ICE and robbery of a
person named Landau third, of compli-
city in the abstraction of the funds des-
tined for instruction in the Seventh
reimbursement (St. Germany. The pm
soner, who is a good-looking young
woman, fair, with bright blue eyes,
twenty-one years of age, was elegantly
dressed During the first siege of Paris
she replaced the amusements of the
by the excitement of politics. She at
tended the various clubs and frequently
addressed the audiences, who were ias
cinated by her beauty and her ready
flow of language. At one Of these the
Pre- aux Clercs, Rue du Bac, she encoun-
tered Urban and speedily obtained an
undoubted empire over him. After
wards, when the Commune was instituted
and he was deleg ited to administer the
Seventh arondisse uent, she accompanied
him to the Marie where they took up
their abode. and he appears to have
usurped IN unlimi ed authority. and to
have been the soul If the instruction in
that quarter, aud h. have been the insti-
gator of numerous researches in which
she generally accompanied Urban. In
one of these expeditions, that mentioned
IN the indictment, she was accused OF
having carried off the jewelry of Nine.
Landau, and witnesses were called to
prove that they had seen her wearing
rings belonging to that person. Although
possessed of no means of her own, she
made herself conspicuous by her pur-
chases of expensive articles, and particu-
larry as regards her dress A number of
witnesses were called to establish the
foregoing facts, and after IA eloquent
address from NJ. Andre Rous ,elle in de-
fence of the accused, the latter, on being
asked if she had anything te add, pro-
tested her innocence and declared that
she would rather lose her head than be
convicted of theft. The Court, after an
hours deliberation, found her guilty on
the first and second counts, with extern
uating circumstances, acquitted her on
the third and sentenced her to simple
TRANSPORTATION.

THE SUGAR CROP. The Louisiana
Sugar Bo,rl says New Orleans mer-
chants and editors are making wild and
injurious estimates of the probable yield
of the present sugar crop. As we have
constantly been travelling among sugar
planters the entire year, and riding over
the cane fields in various parishes, we
think that to calculate the yield at $780,
600 hogsheads of sugar would be a rea-
sonable estimate but from all we have
seen and learned from reliable sources,
we fear that it will fall short of that of
last season, which was about 145, 600
hogsheads. The crop is much worse
than that of last year, and the almost
general failure OF stubble cane will make
1t necessary to reserve for seed a much
larger amount of cane than usual. which
will fully counterbalance the increased
acreage on which our New Orleans friends
are making calculations.

deeply: then covering of zinc foil, lint
above this, and the whole bound with
adhesive plaster. The results from this

An exquisite transparency may be made

Autumn leaves on n pane of window
glass, tapping another pane OF the same
size over 1t, and binding the edge with
ribbon, having the group imprisoned
between. Use gum tragacanth in put
ting on the binding. 1t is well to secure
a narrow strip Of paper under the ribbon.
The binding should be gummed all
around the edge of the first pane, and
dried before the leaves, ferns, etc, are
arranged then it can be neatly folded
over the second pane without diffic, lily.
To form the loop for hanging the trans
paiency, paste binding of galloon

through little slit in the final binding.
