on the wall, remarking:
"This is to warn you not to tamper
with my future, husband or something
disagreeable may happen to You"
After she had almost twisted the
landlady's head off Martha went out
and escorted Paul to his home. AS they
walked off she seemed to be telling him
something of national Importance, judg-
ing by the strict attention he paid.
She was arrested 9or assault on the
landlady, and slight fine was i'm
posed.
"Do yop think you will be able to
make reliable, good husband out of
Paul p asked the Justice.
II think so" replied Martha, feeling
the muscles of her arm. AT present, as
we are not yet married, do not feel as

ty over him. have to rely entirely on
moral suasion, but when we are once
happily married shall not hesitate 10
demonstrate earnestly with him. He is
pretty well broken in already" and,
turning to Paul, she urged him to pay
the fine, which he did.
After the couple had left the court
room, the Judge drew long breath.
and remarked:
"What mother-in-law she will be
after while?"

Editor OF London {" Truth"

Labouchere, the member for North
ampton, is a good deal in evidence, in
Parliament, and in his clever, audacious
paper, Truth. He is not unlike Mr..
James G.. Blaine in appearance. He is
about the same height and build, wears
his beard, and is somewhat slow in his
movements. Mr.. Blaine has a square
forehead and larger nose; but there
is not much more in his head than is
slowed away in the Labouchere brain.
A well-educated and a travelled man,
Labouchere has, 1 dare say, far less
earnest views of life than Mr. Blaine
has, is certainly far more Indifferent to
the opinion of Mrs. Grundy, and pos
sibly the only likeness between them
is In the height, build, and manner of
wearing the beard.
This trifing similarity may. how
ever, help the reader to realize the
figure of Labouchere. If he cared q
brass farthing, or even less, for any
thing or anybody, Labouchere would
have more influence in the House OF
Commons and out of it. Life is to him
an amusement. He has plenty of money
and plenty of brains. A seat in Parlia.

COL. LEOPOLD L. ARMANT.

On another page Of to-day's Sen
TrNEL will be found IA tribute to
the memory of Gel. L. l.. Armant,
who, on the eighth day Of May:
1864, fell at the head of the eigh-
teenth Louisiana Regiment, Con-
tederate States Army, in the san
culinary battle of Mansfield, La.
These eloquent lines recall to the
mind of the writer many sad and
cherished memories of the past,
many hallowed friendships, formed
in the dark days that overshadowed
q country's history, cemented in
days and months of %anxieties, pr
vations and sutferings, and severed
in bloody death, surrounded by a
halo of glorious deeds and heroic
gallantry.
NY social and official relations,
with the subject Of this sketch, ex
tended through a period of three
years, whose records are indelibly
impressed upon the memory, and
enabled me to learn and know the
man, as he appeared in times that
tested mems virtues, in days that
tried mems souls.
Col. Armant was a native of St.
James Parish, and had all the ad
vantages of education and culture
that wealth could bestow upon
him.
To complete his education he
spent some time in Europe, travel
ling, and studying the customs
and manners of the people of the
old world, and contrasting the
laws and governments of resplen
dent and imperial royalty with the
plain and simple characteristics of
Republican rulers.
Returning to his native home, he
was elected, by his neighbors and
friends, as their representative to
the Legislature of the State, a high
compliment in st. James, within
which Parish there was 50 much
ability and talent.
This position was filed by the
young representative with credit to
himself and TO the satisfaction of
his tellow.citizens who had eptrust
ed their interests to his care.
But the tocsin Of war banished
the gentle pursuits Of peace, and
the songs of q happy and c%ontented
were eilenced by the fierce
rafting Of the drum aud fife, arous
ing their martial spirit and melting

on the memory Of the half sick and
scantiiy clothed troops, who remain
ed to the end, and made the long,
weary and hungry retreat to Tu

III health had forced Col. Roman
to offer his resignation. and having
had the same accepted he babe fare

the command regretted by both
rank and ti.e. On July 10, 1862,
Lient. Col. Bush received the ac-
ceptance Of his resignation which
he had forwarded to Army Head
quarters, for reasons similar to
those given by Col. Roman.
He Immediately left the com
maDd at Tupelo and came over to
the trans-Mississippi department.
These designations, it was suppo
sed, made, by promotion, Major Ar
mant, Colonel, Capt. Joseph Col
Inns, Lieut.. Colonel aud Capt. VIM.
Mou,on, Major.
In August, 1862, the eighteenth
La. Regiment received orders to re
move to Pollard Alabama.
My duties required me to travel
across the mountains Of Alabama,
to Chattanooga, at which point
Gen. Bragg was organizing his
army, and putting it on the march
into Kentucky. On my arrival at
Pollard in September, 1868, | learn
ed that the Confederate govern
ment refused to sanction the
promotion Of field officers us above
mentioned, and had directed that
an election should be held to fill
the vacancies, the election then
taking place.
Absent for more than a month
was surprised at this order. An
effort was being made to elect
anotherC olonelin place of Armant'
l, at once, visited the Colonel to
a3certain the facts. [ inquired
whether he was aware that he had
opposition. He replied that he
was.
| then asked if he was a candi-
date for the Colonelcy. His ans
wer was, "that be was not +; that
if his brother officers saw proper to
select him as their Colonel he would
accept the position with thanks
aud gratitude, but that he hId not
sought the vote of any officer, nor
did he propose to do So"
His manner and his language i'm
pressed me very favorabIy. Leav
ing his tent l went to the polling
booth and cast my vote for him.
