We tried, once. by . reference to the
facts of Jean Lafitte's disappearance
from this city and tho incidents Of the
few years before, to dispel the del0sion
Of John Newell and convince him that
jean Lafitte left this city poor, AZ =
supercargo on . small sloop for St.
Thomas, and that said sloop was lost at
sea and all on board had perished. and
that it was utterly Incredible that he
would have abandoned the hidden
treasure to engage in so doubtful ven
ture; and that this was in 1917, and
that he had been honorabty discharged
from all charges brought against him
for smuggling and flibustering Che

for several years before his departure to
recover his hidden treasure with which
he might have resuscitated his dilapi-
dated fortunes. d
This was the authentic history of Jean
Latitte, the head of the organization at
Barataria, which redeemed oil OF its
crimes and offenses against the State
and nation by rendering Gen. jackson
much valuable aid in the defense of New
Orleans. But what chance has dry
prosaic though authentic history against
sailors yarns aud old women's nursery
stories? Aud no we concude our arti.
Gle, with little hope that it will have any
greater effect npon the imagination Of
this new organization to search for La

relation of the foregoing facts produced
upon the mind of poor John Newell.

SWEET MARY.

These lines, written by an Irish divine, tn,
". J. Wolfe, who died about half centnr,
o, are worthy of the pen of Goldsmith:
If had thought thou couldat have died,
might not have wept for thee
But forgot, when by thy side.
That thou couldst mortal he:
1t never through my mind had pass'd,
The time would e'er be DER,
That should on thee look my last,
And thou shouldst smile no more!
And still upon thy face look,
And think twill smile again
And still the thought I will not brook,
That must look in vain!
But when speak, thou dost not say
What thou n'er lefst unsaid,
And now feel, as we'll may.
Sweet Mary thou art dead!
II thou wouldst stay even as thou art,
All cold, and all serene.
still might press thy silent heart,
And where thy smiles have heen.
While cen the chill bleak corse have,
Thou seemst still mine own.
But there lay thee in thy grave
And now am alone.
do not think, where'er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
And 1. perhaps may sooth this heart,
In thinking too of thee:
Yet there was round thee such dawn
or light n'er seen before.
As fancy never could have drawn,
And never could restore!
