Northern people did not come to New
orleans. and our principal patronage
was from the sugar and cotton planters
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and
Georgia. In fact, the whole cotton
and sugar belt of the South was we'll

come shortly after Christmas and stay

An Aunlnn PrIncpH4.

A Scottish traveller, who stopped for
few hours in city in the interior Of
India, caught glimpse of n white wo-
man in native dress. She was in a
pallli, borne on the shoulders of slaves,
which indicated that her rank was
high. On the following day she sent a
message to him that he was the first
European she had seen since her child
hood that she remembered being drag,
ged away from her family, while their
house was burning when she was five
years old; that her name was Lucy
that she had grown up among the ma.
tives, had forgotten the English lang
uage, and was the wife of an Indian
prince and that she desired to inquire
Of the traveller about her parentage.
The messenger implored him to see the
woman, who was weeping at home but
before he could do so she was removed
from the ncighborhood, presumably NJ n
consequence Of her communication with
the stranger. The inference is that
Lucy is survivor of the mutiny NASSAU
creA of 1857.
