The New Orleans Complications.

NEW YORK, Dec. %.
The Herald's New Orleans special is as
follows: Political excitement still con-
tinues to be rife. While there is no im-
portant event to recor |, it is very evident
that the people are determined to seat their
representatives on January 4th, regardless
of the returning boards action. Their
leaders assert that the demonstration will
be peaceful one, yet great apprehension
is plainly discernable on both sides. 1t is
known here that the people of Caddo, Rap
idee, Natchetoches and De Soto parishes
intend sending down their representatives,
accompanied by strong escorts Other
parishes will probably initiate the example.
The news, published to-day, Of Sheridan
having been appointed to command here is
regarded as an additional administration
menace, and is commented on accordingly.
FUNERAL OF BYERLY
The funeral of the late Mr.. Byerly was
largely attended. Over eighty carriages
were in line, and hundreds of people fol-
lowed on foot. Public sentiment incines
to regard the homicide as justifablc, upon
grounds of self-defence. Gov. Warmoth
was visited at the parish prison this after
noon, and found very much depressed in
spirits. lie again expressed his pain and
regret at the unfortunate occurrence,
which he apparently feels very keenly.
During the day he has been called upon
by Governor McEncry, Lieutenant
Governor" Penn, and many other promi-
nent persons. No further steps have been
taken in regard to the projected duel.
Upon Gov Warmoth's liberation from
prison, which will probably take place to-
morrow, the whole affair will probably be
referred to court of honor, Mr. Byerly' IS
death, which is universally deplored, pre-
Guiding any further proceedings of a hos
tile nature.

Danger OF COasling.

A party of twenty-three persons who
were sliding down a hill over three quarters
of mile long, at Whitesboro, N. Y. the
other day, on continuance made by JOIN
ing two bob-sleds by plank sixteen feet
long, came in collision with a bridge abut-
men!. while going at tremendous rate of
terrible force. Three were sesiously injur-
ed, and others were uncomfortably bruised.
The sleds were steered by man who lay
on the plank and moved the forward bob,
and he lost control of them by the break
ing of the king-bolt. AS the slders were
making the three-quarters of a mile in
forty seconds, it is a wonder that the acct
dent was not more terrible.

Miss De Montford ut the opera
House.

A very fair audience assembled at the
Opera House on the first appearance of
the celebrated mesmerist, Miss Annie DE
Montford. Although she was unknown to
the Rutland public, her reputation had
preceded her, and had the night been any
thing but the stormy one 1t proved to be.
we have no doubt the house would have
been filled. Then, too, the entertainment
ut the Town hall kept large number from
attending.
Miss De Montford Is lady of much
power in the performance of the mesmcric
art, as was very well demonstrated last
evening. She has commanding figure,
strong physical powers and the movements
of one born to rule. At frs 1t was diff
cult for the audience to understand her
words, which are slightly foreign, but
this soon wore away and all became
in full sympathy with her every wish and
movement. To briefly state the result we
might say that probably no one who was in
attendance ever laughed so heartily and
continuously for the space Of an hour as
they did on this occasion. 1t was absolute
IL impossible TO do otherwise, for be the
witness the greatest of skeptics as to the
power of magnetism, or the most impcr-
turbable of old foges, he had to laugh and
laugh again in spite of himself. From the
time the subjects, who were called upon
the stage, began to show the influence cx-
erted upon them until the audience was dis
Missed the house echoed with a continued
roar of laughter and such as everyone en-
joyed.
-Four of the subjects were found to be
impossible and with them the fair magi-
clan proceeded to deal The names of the
four were, Sanford. Murray, Boynton and
Bennett, and they furnished fun enough .or
whole circus. At her bidding they be-
came clowns, acroba,s and tumblers of the
most approved character they found mice
in their coats and were almost frozen to
death they snowballed each other and
came near burning alive; they formed
themselves into minstrel troupe. played the
violin, banjo, tamborne and bones, and
sang songs with great eclat; Sandford did
feats in tumbling, and Murray played the
violin On Imagination to the tune of "Sal-
ly come up" Sandford kept the house in a
roar by attending an imaginary baby, made
out of his coat, and fed it with stick he
jumped down into the audience and pro-
tested that genial old gentleman from
Leicester must help him cure it-all such
laughable scenes were enacted by the boys
at the slightest wish of the mesmerst.
Miss De Montford does not exert herself
to any great extent, but controls all her
subjects with ease. 1t is unnecessary for
us to give any opinion upon the reality of
the powers that magnetism is claimed to
exercise. We only state what occurred
and advise all to attend and enjoy it. The
piano playing is pleasing feature of the
entertainment. Remember Miss De Mont
ford appears for only one night more.
