took place at night, and far. surpassassed
in magnificence and splendor any thing
of the'kind it had ever before been my
good fortune to behold. This was the
anniversary Procession of The Famous
Mystick lKrewe of Comus, "a secret
organization of the most wealthy ana
intelligent men of New Orleans.
The design of the Krewe on this occa-
sion was to produce representation OF
the Dreams of Homer" all the tao
leaux of which were represented on
handsome cars Of marble.
One witnessing the magnificent sights
which suddenly burst through the dark
ness of night, in such resplendent glory,
would almost feel that he had been
placed among the living and Dreaming
Heroes of the Trojan War, beholdlnG
now the escape of the aH1orous Farls
with Helen, the beautiful wife OF Meme
laus, and then the wrath of the GREEKS
in the siege of Troy, and then the fail Oh
the mighty City, by the stratagem OF the
Wooden Horse, and then the Wander-
ing of Ulysses in his return home a1ter
the fall of the city, and his downcast ana
gloomy countenance, when on his arrival,
he found his Kingdom wasted, anu the
hand of his beautiful Penelope sought
by many suitors.
After the splendors of the Iliad and the
| ODYSSEY, came the fun and humor OF OF
"The Frogs and Mice in Battle Array"
then the gigantic Crabs, their Peace ma
kers, all of which presented scene IN
describably novel and mirth-provoklng.
And lastly the Hymns of Homer" "
in which the principal personages We're
the noted twin brothers Castor and FOL
lux, Pan and Dryape, Esculapius and Ce-
res, the father of Medicine and the God
dess of Harvest.
After passing throush all the principal
streets, the "Krewe"entored the Varle,,
ties Theatre, where they gave series o. o.
magnificent Tableau3 in their ancient
classic costumes, and then reveled in the
modern, no less than classic, joys of dan
cling flirting, and coquetting.
During the journey homewards, moth
ing of interest transpired, and on sun

turned in the right direction, and soon
tho head of tho Procession had reached
the st. Charles Hotel.
1t was divided into five huge divisions,
between each of which marched very
fine band of musicians The whole was
headed by the "King Of the Carnival
and his attendants, all dressed in very
gorgeous costumes, with masks. Indeed
the whole Procession was masked.
The first division, headed by the "Lord
of the Yeomanry," was all OH foot, i'll
ranks of four, very appropriately cos
TUNED, and marching to the sound of
magnificent music. Tho second division
headed by the Lord of the Carriages, F"
consisted entirely of carriages and bug
representing almost every Imaginable
character, allegorical, mythologic;ll and!
historical. The third division, headed
by the Lord of the Vans," contained
all other vehicles than carriages, on
Which were represented a variety of life
scenes. Among the best, was a repre-
sentation OF Agriculture" it was an
immense wagon, on which was placed a
quantity of earth, set about with green
boughs, with plough, ploughmen, &c.
Another, Horticulture" was similar
wagon. with collection of rare and
MAGNIFICENT flowers, which sent de-
lightful perfume through the whole
street as it passed. And still another
which was very amusing, Plantation
Life in the South" 1t was q small ne
gro cabin placed on wagon, filled will,
little darkies who kept up continual
gable and squalling, while on the porch
were an old man and wife who hugged
and kissed as if they had just entered
the honey moon. Buff Ishould under
take to describe too minutely, I will
never have done, so will pass on
quickly.
I The fourth division, headed by the
Lord Of the Horses" was merely n
large troup of very handsomely and
very grotesquely dressed horsemen.
The fifth and last division contained all
late-comers and stragglers, and those
who lad not been provided for in the
other divisions. 1t was called "The I'm
attached"
7 After passing down st. Charles Street.
the whole Procession stopped in front of
the City Hall, where the King of the
Carnival met and was duly presented
to His Imperial Highness, the Grand
Duke Alexis of Russia, who honored the
city with his presence during these fes
tivities. The City Hall whence the
Grand Duke viewed these brilliant and
fantastic scenes, was magnificently deck
ed with evergreens and flags at every
conceivable point, in the midst of which
waved Russia's National Banner. The
Grand Duke is n handsome young man,
living, breathing, walking, and dressing
not unlike other men. 80

The Clark-Fewell Affair.

The Clark seduction case in Virginia came
to q bloody termination on Saturday last, Of
which the Alexandria Gazette gives the fol-
lowing details in kilograms TO that Journal:
MANASSAS, VA, August 31.-James +.
Clark, the seducer Of Miss Fannie Jewell, was
shot, and probably killed, in the Jail at Brents-
vile, this morning at about o'clock, by her
brother, Rhoda Fewell
" Mr. Jewell came up on the night train
from Iynchburg and got off at Brscoe Station,
and walked over to BrentSyile, and on going
TO the Jail found the front door open A black
boy, the only person present, told him in
which cell Clark was, and on going there, he
found Clark lying on his bed Seven shots
were fired through the grating Of the cell door,
one Of them taking effect in CIarl's left breast,
Just below the heart. Mr. Jewell returned to
Manassas aud has surrendered himself into the
hands Of the authorities. 1t is thought Clark
is dead by this time-ll o'clock A. NJ
The brother Of the wronged girl has the IN
doubted sympathies Of the public with him,
wondering why he did not kill her seducer be-
fore. Ed. MANASSAS GAZETTE"
At halfpast three o'clock this afternoon the
following despatch was received
MANASSAS, August 3l.-A messenger who
left BTentsviIle at two o'clock, reports Clark
living, but his physicians say he must die
Two shots took effect, one in the heart and one
in the side.

ME Feweil eloped from Manassas on a freight
train Of the Orange road, and went to Alexau-
dria, where she was ioined by Clark, and the
two continued their flight, going west as far as
Mexico, in Missouri Here they remained but
a short time Clark leaving under the pretence
OF seeking better location, directing his VIC
tim to return TO Cincinnati, where he would
join her. This he failed to do, and had no in

ing her betrayer did not come, and believing
he had abandoned her, Miss Fcwell without

to Stafford, where bis wife aud children were
In the meantime the friends Of Miss Jewell had
heard of her being in Washington, and also Of
Clark's presence in Stafford They at once
proceeded to Fredericksburg, had Clark arrest

How the world Puts It.

The Uo}3 puts the matter of Grant, Gree
ley or Louisville, as follows:
Either Horace Greeley or Ulysses Grant
viii be President Of the United States four
years from next March. The proper course
for Democrats who have no preference Grsuch
,lera bel 10 this inevitable alternative, is to
stay at home on election day. But every citi-
zen who has a choice between these two Repub-
Ecaus should express it IN a straight forward,
manly way by voting directly for one or the
other, since there is no possibility Of ulccting
any third candidate. If Blauton Duncan,
Brick Pomeroy, Burr, Stephens, and Mos%y,
and old Henry A. Wise prefer Grant for Pres
ileut, let them vote for him without more ado,
which is the frank, honest course for them to
pursue, as the only manly course for those
Democrats who don't want Grant reelected is
To- vote for Greeley. Until the Baltimore
Convention, there was possibility Of some
other successful candidate against Grant. and
up % that time Democratic advocacy CT a
straight nomination was legitimate. But since
then, any further talk abou. a candidate Of
Democratic aa;sceients is preposterous Every
Democratic voter belongs to one Of these three
classes: First those who prefer Greeley; sec
oui, those who prefer Grant, aud third,
those who, finding that there is no alter
native arejnd.aersut between them. Those
who prefer Greeley should vote for him those
who prefer Grant should vote for him those
who are indifferent should not vote at ALL
tuy othercourse must be either irrational or
veaal, or else prompted by pitiful passion for
aotore'y. Only q natural fool can believe
that any thjnl candidate could De successful.
