very narrow. Some were of silk OF
gold, and ornamented with silver buck

women wore them lower and more
loosely than men. Small bottles with
scent were often fastened to the girdle;
and sometimes also an elegant pocket,
in which money or things of value were
kept.

poverty pledged his mantle it should be

folds over the other garments. Some

Sometime since Mr.. Villeneuve Bor-
delon, near here, missed 800 in silver,
which had foralong time been deposited
in an armoire. The money was sup
posed to have been stolen by a young
colored man, whom he had raised; and
who, last summer, entered his house
s~uspiciously severeral times-he being
sick in bed at the time, and his wife
was blind. Afterwards he left his EN-
ploy, and still afterwards the money
was missed. On consulting Judge Mar
tel of the Opelousas bar, and stating
whom lie ~suspicioned of the theft, he
advised Mr.. Bordelon, that as he had
raised the boy he would not be apt to
leave the parish, and by remaining quiet
for awhile the thief would appear by
his using the money. Sure enough, re-
Gently it was discovered that the sup
posed thief had spent money extrava-
gantly-al1 silver; and a number Of the
pieces, given to different persons, had
Mr.. Bordelon's stock brand marked on
them. The thief alleges that he found
the money in a tin can under a tree or
log in the woods, several. inches in the
ground, where he had gone to bury some
of his own.
