LOLA MONTEZ's HAIR.

Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.

John Hull Pennville, who passed
through this city a day or two since
from Plnmas county, California, on
his way to Eemeralda county, in this
State has in his possession curious
relic of that strange and adventurous
women, Lola MOntez Mr.. Pennyille

the time when Lola was residing at
Grass Valley, Cal, was in the habit Of
playing for her in order that she
might practice some dance of her own
invention.
The viulinist had a strong passion
for making collections of human hair,
particularly the long tresses of wo-
men. He had several times limited to
Lola his great desire TO posses tress
of her hair, but she refused to take
these hints, however plainly made.
At this time Lola had in her posses
sion at her home in Grass Valley a
young bear that she was training for
some purpose, she being at that time
but about twenty-ninO years OF age,
and still full of life and ambition.
One day when Pennville again hirt-
ed about the tress, Lola said : "Mr.
Pennville, If you will go into that
back yard, throw that bear to the
ground and hold him one minute 10y
my watch, will give you a strand OF
my hair long enough for the bow Of
your violin"
"Donev' cried PennvilIe, and he al

! The case of the State ex rel. Armand
Mercier vs.. the Judge of the Superior Dis
trict Court presents more issues growing
out of the political situation than any other
now in court.
Ajudgment against Mercier in the Supe.
rior District Court was signed January A..
He had ten days in which to obtain an ap-
peal. In the meantime Governor Kellogg
(JanuRry i vetoed bill of the session of
1876 abolishing the Superior District Court
and parceling out its business among the
other courts. The Legislature passed bill
establishing the Superior Civil Court, and
also abolishiDg the Superior and Sixth Dis
triet Courts. The Governor approved this
and appointed Hon. Alfred Shaw Judge.
These are all the legislative and executive
proceedings. Judge Lynch acquiesced in
his deposition. Judge Shaw held court in
the old rooms till the Democratic sheriff
elected him. The legislators at Odd Eel
lows Hall did nothing, that being the
effect of the reconsideration of the
bill "re-establishing" the Superior Dis.
trict Court, which chad the approval of
the Attorney General" The death of Judge
Saucier and the acting of Mr.. Rightor in
his place are not of moment, nor is the as
sumption of the other courts that the bill of
1876 law.
Mercier, however, took advantage Of
everybody's opinion. He asked for an ap-
peal from Judge Shaw under act No. /, and
got 1t; asked it in the Third District Court
under the vetoed bill, and got it; asked it
of Judge Lynch, and being refused, applied
for q mandamus to compel it.
The counsel for the defense have filed a
model brief. Il is rather delicate task to
present points to court and rely on their
strength, when decision in favor of them
may impugn the validity of the court
itself. But this is done, and being we'll
done there is nothing scandalous in the
brief. They ask first that, following the
decision in DurAnt VS.. the Board of Liqui-
datiOn, sustaining Judge Lynch, the relator
be denied any hearing because of his triple
attitude, the law abhoring multiplicity of
action, and so the question of the existence

DeaIh of John 5. Walton.

On Monday noon died an old citizen OF
New Orleans, whose name has been the
synonym of probity and upright dealing.
John S, Walton was born in New Jersey in
1909, came to New Orleans In 1876, and has
lived here ever since. Fifty years ago he
was engaged in the hardware business. He
was subsequently in the tOwboat interest
for many years. In 1862 he was appointed
city treasurer, and was elected to the same
Office in 1870, In 1867 he was sub-treasurer
of the United States. For the last eight
years he has held the position of cashier of
the Louisiana Savings Banks. He has,
meantime, held many places of pecuniary
responsibility, and always with safety to
those who oOntided in him and with credit
to himself. He was consistent and honest
Republican, yet he lived and died without
leaving any to wish him harm.
