away towards the door, but Miss Faulk-
ner detained her.
"I want you to tell me all about your
SELF" she said, "and how you knew
where to bring the bracelet"
Then Bettine told her her little story
as meekly and uncomplainingly as pos
sible. She did not mean to tell any of
their troubles, but some way Miss
Faulkner asked her so many questions
and was so kind and sympathizing that
she could not helpit And when she told
about Karl the tears would come into
her eyes, and she felt very much asham-
ed until she looked at Miss Faulkner
and saw her eyes full of tears, too.
Then the lady left the room, and came
back in few minutes with a gentleman
"a benevolent looking old gentleman
and Bettine had to tell her story over
again to him. Then they sent for Karl
to come in, and then, after the gentle
man had talked long time with him,
they were taken into another room and
had the incest dinner they had either of
them ever eaten in their lives. After
wards General Faulkner sent them home
in carriage, telling them he would
come and see them the next day.
Bettine had to rub her eyes every two
or three minutes after she had got home,
to be sure she wasn't dreaming, and by
the next morning she had got to feel
quite sure that it could have been moth
ing but dream, wnen she saw that
same elegant carriage rolling into the
little dirty narrow street where they
lived; and then such store of good
fortune looked in upon them, that Bet
tine began to fancy, rather, that the old,
dreary days had been dream, and her
present happiness the only reality.
General Faulkner got Karl situation
in warehouse, where he earns what
seems to Bettine an unheard-of sum of
money, and hired for them three of the
cosiest little rooms you ever saw, in a
cottage, little way out of town, where
good German woman lives, who seems
ever so much like Bettine's mother; and
Bettine has nothing to do but to keep
house for herself and Karl; and you may
be sure that she is the incest, tidiest lit
tie housekeeper imaginable.
The hand-organ is put up in corner
of the little kitchen, with Bettine's tam
BOURNE hung over it; and sometimes
when Karl comes home at night he takes
the organ out of the corner, and plays
Home, sweet home," on it; and,
though the old grenadier's joints have
grown little stiff by age and inaction,
he hobbies up and holds out his cooked
hat still, and the gay lady and the sol
dier begin their hornpipe, and the
dairymaid carries her eggs and milk to
market, and the snuf-taking old lady is
as persevering as ever; and though some
of the tones are harsh and out of tune,
the melody is still very sweet and plain
tive, and brings tears to Bettine's eyes,
But they are happy tears, now that she
knows. what "sweet home" is.

The Turkish Rebellion.

The rebellion against the Turkish
government in the province of Herze-
govina was melted by the exceedingly
oppressive manner in which the Turkish
government has collected its taxes from
the people. 1t has been the custom
with the government to sell the tax list
to private individuals for a stipulated
price, allowing them to collect them,
thus saving the government the trouble,
time and expense of making the collec.
tion. By the laws of the empire, no
farmer, for instance, could store his crop
OF grain until it had been inspected and
its value appraised by a government
official, and as this was done late in the
year it has not unfrequently been the
case that the entire harvestMfor the
whole territory was destroyed by rains
before the official made his inspection,
and thus the labor of the entire year was
lost, while the burdens of weak,
despotic, bankrupt government remain
ed the same. This has continued so
long and borne so heavily and disas-
trously upon the people that, about six
months ago, the people rebelled against
the government. No religious questions
are involved, the struggle being against
the tyrannical methods of executing
despotic laws.

-AmuBe t..

A theatrical season in New Orleans is
very short and uncertain. The weather is
too warm until December, then come holi-
days, with private parties and home attrac-
tions enough to keep people from the thea
tres, and then comes religious season, and
warm weather again. This season there is
less disposition than ever to seek amuse-
ment in the playhouses and all theatres
have done . comparatively poor business.
Even go good an actor as Mr.. Rowe is al
lowed to play to poor houses at the Varieties
Theatre. The matinees, however, have been
well attended, and "Little Emily" will draw
good house at the Varieties to-day. At
the Academy of Music Yankee Locke will
appear in his Australian play of "Trumpe,"
and Zoe will be seen at the ST. Charles
Theatre in the spectacular play of the
gel of Midnight"

The Latest Outrage in West Feliciana

The Latest Outrage In West Feliciana.
Letters received in this city yesterday
from St. Frarcisville confirm the account
outrage of the regulators in West Fell
ciana.
The store of William j. Krewss is situ-
ated about twelve miles from that town. 1t
was robbed and burned Tuesday night by
fifteen or twenty armed and masked regu-
lators. Krewse was terribly beaten, and his
children, all of tender age, were roughly
handled Mr.. krewse is a worthy German,
who has been living in the parish about six
years. He was engaged in farming and had
Just received, per steamship Hanover, six
able bodied Germans to assist him in cult
waiting a few hundred acres of land he
bought some years ago.
The perpetrators of this midnight arson
and wouldbe murderers are part OF the law
less band from the east end of West
Feliciana and Jackson, Louisiana, who for
the last TWO months have burned, robbed
and murdered innocent men without re-
gard for the weak and helpless.
The feeling in that community is reported
to be one of intense excitement, all con-
demning this outrage. Yet it is alleged that
the parish lacks the means of extending
protection to her humbleet citizen.
A correspondent states that an effort 's
being made to raise by subscription, sutii-
cient money to permit the six homeless
Germans and their families to return to
Germany. They will file statement Of
their grievances with their consul in New
Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1876.

own nomination for a third term. 1t looks
as if the anti third term journals had wasted
a good deal of ammunition in sheliing
woods that contained no enemy.
Since my arrival here l anu convinced
that when the national convention meets
the fight for the presidential nomination
will have narrowed down to Morton. Bris-
tow and Blaine, with the chances largely
in favor of Morton. The campaign in his
interest will be opened by the Republican
State convention that meets in Indianapolis
February %, who will formally present
his name to the country as their choice for
the presidency. He will go into the con-
vention with the support of almost the en-
tire West, and will poll heavy vote from
the South. That Bristow can not be nomi-
mated is conceded in the best informed cir
cles. No man coming from south of Mason
and Dixcn's line will be put at the head of
either ticket. The Democrats would make
no such nomination from motives Of policy;
the Republicans because they have not for
gotten Andrew johnson. 1t is claimed by
Morton's friends that when it becomes evi-
dent that Bristow can not be nominated. his
entire strength will be given to Morton,
thus securing his nomination. 1t will be
combination of the West and South against
the East. Blaine will undoubtedly come in
third in the race, but do not believe that
he stands in anybody's way.
No man in public life understands the
Southern problem 80 thoroughly, and none
could solve it so readily as the Senator from
Indiana. To the White League Democracy
of Louisiana and the shotgun advocates of
Mississippi, his nomination would have a
peculiar significance. and they would prob.
ably fight him as they would fight no other
| man. Among weak-kneed Republicans,
who are always in favor OF ''conserva-
tive" candidate, Or in other words, of run
| niEg man not for what he has but for what
| he has not done, his nomination would meet
with disfavor. The elections of 1875 demon
stratsd that, with a bold, vigorous and ag
gressive campaign, the Republican can
didate can be elected without the aid of a
single Southern State. All that is neces-
sary is to thoroughly unite our party ele-
ments. There is no man, General Grant ex-
| cepted, around whom the blacks of the
South would rally go readily, nor is there
| anyone who can unite the ex-soldier element
| of the North so solidly as Morten. Unques-
tionably he can carry every Northern State
| that can be carried by any other Repub
lican; more than that, he can carry Indiana.
That can be carried by no other Republican
and it is more than probable that the cleo
! toral votes of that State will decide the
! next contest. 1NDEA.
