THE K.U-KLVX IN FAIRFIELD. 1 Two Negro Militiamen Severely Wounded correspondent of the- Columbia Union j writes irom-Winnsboro* under date ol the 13th> ; instant : . ". - 1 Information has just been received here, 1 that two members of Captain Jacob Moore's : company ot militia, Hilliard Ellison and Thomas < Johnson, by names, were attacked in their ' houses, on yesterday morning before day, by ] the Ku-Klux, and Hillard Ellison was shot through the back and mort ally wounded, and Thomas Johnson bad his thigh shattered. ' There ls no hopes whatever ol'Hilliard Ellison. And it may be but proper to state that there are men ol infiuen.ee. and wealth lu this coun? ty, wno are well known,.who are Jn full sym- J pathy with these deeds of violence, that are J getting to be ol' nightly occurrence, and that 1 nave so disgraced tie -up-conatry of late. This took place about Teven mllet> west of this place. -? 1 The Winnsboro' News gives the following" : somewhat different version of the affair: 1 A serious difficulty occurred on Jackson's 1 Creek, some nine miles from this place, on j Saturday night last. Several pickets, we un- 1 derstand, were placed on tho different roads 1 near Dr. Turner's Blore by the captain of a ne- 1 gro Company In ? hat vicinity, who were at- 1 tacked by some disguised men, wounding two 1 of the negro pickets. This is the first occur? rence ot'the kind that bas taken place in this county, and we hope it will be the last. The ? law should be resorted to. and if lt is lound to 1 vary from justice, then it is time for the citl- . zens to take malters In their own hands. But when they do take the law in their hand's, let it be in Ihe broad light of dav, and not' In Che 1 hour of midnight, and disguised. We are 1 amply able to protect ourselves, but ?et us do 1 it unmasked. BOWER'S FLORIDA WIFE. A Damaging Letter. The reporter ot the-Louisville Courier-Jour? nal sought Mrs. Tabitha Bowen in that city on Saturday last, and asked her concerning the allegad letter of hers denying lier marriage with Bowen. She replied : . By this time a letter of mine to Judge Fisher and Mr. Pennington will have reached these gentlemen, enclosed with which is the origi? nal of that letter, written by Mr. Bowen him? self,' together with sundry affidavits swornto try me as to its being written by Mr.-Bowen. ''What, did yon write that letter at Mr. Bowen'6 dictation ?" "Not exactly. Mr. Bowen wrote the origi? nal of thai letter in his room at the Galt Bouse on the occasion ot his visit to me last August. He alterwards brought it to me and I copied, it verbatim and gave the copy to him." "What led to this action on your part ? ' UI will tell you, sir. Mr. Bowen represented to me that several prominent members of Congress of his party had ninted to him that unless the fact of his marriage with me was_ dented bis seat would be forfeited, and on that representation, and to save for him his seat, I gave him the copy of the letter he had written tor thal purpose. He told me that it was only intended to satisfy these prominent gentlemen, and for their eyes alone, ile swore to me on his honor that no one else should ever see it. Kow, sir, I am convinced that Mrs. King, de? ceived by this letter, consented to the mar? riage with Mr. Bowen. I, however, took care to preserve the original document." "Did he not insist upon its destinion !" '.He did; but I destroyed what.pusported to be the original, whereas I bad it secured in a sale place, and tore up" a piece ol' paper re semblmgvit, which 1 had provided for that pur? pose." "And that original is in the hands of Judge Fisher ?" "Yes, sir, before this, and Fthink will prove conclusive." "What were the circumstances of your sepa? ration lrom Mr. Bowen, and how have you maintained yourself'since ?" ."I separated lrom Mr. Bowen alter my dis? covery of rds intercourse -with the Charleston woman. He gave me a letter to one Judge. Cole, pf MariettavGeorgia, recommending me as his wile to the kind offices ol that gentle? man. This was in March, 1867. ' I then went to a hotel in that' place- and lived there lor some months, assisting the landlady about the house. Afterwards I wrote-lo Mr,?owen, tell' lng him thai we had belter separate, where? upon he wrote me his assent and forwarded mero order upon Judge Cole for $50. Judge Cole gave me $25, with which I came to Louis? ville. This waa the'7th of July, 1867. Since, then I have supported myself by sewing In private houses at first, afterwards keeping a J boarding-house, and now I reut rooms In this j same house." Mrs. Bowen, a? this correct report ot the in? terview will prove, is-a woman o? intelligence" above the ordinary. Her language shows the result of cultivation; she ls direct in her an? swers, firm in her statements, and at the same lime exhibits reluctance in Involving her hus? band further in the meshes thul surround him. Witho it further preface, we give below Mrs. Tabitha Bowen's statement.: To the Editor of the Courier-Journal : T deplore the necessity ol again appearing j in tbe columns of a newspaper, bul Justice to myself seems to demand that 1 vindicate my character against the foul aspersions hurled ut me by the third, and I suppose last, dupe ot C. C. Bowen; that, too, at the instance of him wno. on the day of our nuptials, yo wed io for? sake-* ll "others and cleave lo me, Ac, A-c., so long as life should last. It ls not my intention to go into the details-) of our marriage. That was done at the trial of Bowen, in Washington,' for bigamy. My design in this communication is simply tb establish the fact of dur relations as man and wile beyond a doubt, - if any remains, in ibe mind ol the public. Now, in addition to the evidence adduced at the trial ol' Bowen, I pre? sent constructive ejldence, and the first I offer is in Mr. Bowen's own handwriting. His (Bowen**) H?H?W?r to mo ea the subject ol' divorce is dated Washington, D. C., January 12. 1870. He says : "Both ol your letters re? lived. I certainly shall not enter into any :ontroversy wilh you, bul in regard to your Hiing me and the lawyer you have employed, [ care nothing for. You say-you- want money. .Vow I will give you one thousand dollars tl I :an De-released lrom any .furl li er claim, which jua only, be done by a divorce. How if thirl proposition suits you, 1er me know the naine.| if your lawyer, and I will grfarantce the pay? ment of the amount as soon as a divorce eau De had. C. C.- BOWEN." Letter No. 2, dated Washington, D. C., May 12. 1870 : "I am in no hurry fox the divorce, mt will iurnl8h the balance of the money and iay the necessary coBt in a short time. Please iee Mr. Speed and inform him. Hoping you j ire succeeding in business, and that you can .vail a little while lor the remainder, I will ;lose. C. C. Bowra." Letter No. 3, dated Charleston, S. C.. July IO, 1870. says: "Yours ol the 25th received resterday. I shall leave here on the 11th tor | iVashington, and will send.the money just as loon as I get lhere. I assure you I have not | withheld ll (the money? because the divorce s not grunted, hut because I hf ve not had li 0 spare. I should not go tc Washington, vere it not to make arrangements for you to ret the money. I will send it by the middle >f August, sure. Hoping-this will besaiisfuc rory, and that I may hear lrom you as s.uon as his is received, I am, &c, C. C.- B." Now, I ask an intelligent and discriminating )ublic what does all this mean ? Why speak tt a divorce, and the payment of all cost per ai ning to the procurement of a divorce, il the .elation of man- and wile do not and never lave exls.ted'? It ls not to be presumed that Hr. Bowen, u*re present at Iv.' of a people, Is a unatlc. A man occupying the high position ie has attained to ought certainly to be a man jf ordinary common sense. IP he was tini'or Lunate In his youthful duyt-; and -fell among 1 aleves, he has certainly ere nov,- recovered" ?"rom the fall. lt was not my intention to reler at all to the scurrilous article of "Kappa," but il abounds w4fh such glaring falsehoods, witli your per? mission I -will simply state that the story ol Mrs. P. R. Bowen to the reporter "Kappa," about wont passed between Mr. Hurley and myself in 1866, is entirely without found a! ion. I never saw that gentleman but-once, and that, was in March, 1667, and then net er Md Iiim what he. ls reported lo nave said. Nor did I ask him lor assistance. Never told bim any? thing In regard to Mr. C. C. B. and myself, un? less it was to say he was my husband, and to isk where he could be found, as I had been ln toraied Mr. Hurley knew. Again, Ldeny most positively the statement ol "Kappa" that I had said to any one that Mr. I r. J. Mackey had given me SlOOu, and agreed' (ogive me $2000 more if C: C. Bowen was con? victed. Nothing of tffe kind erer occurred be? tween Mr. Mackey and myself. Again, I never fold any reporter that we"lived in Florida on a plantation. We finally moved to, and settled in, Lee County, Georgia. But I have no de ?.-e to protract this communication; nor do I seek sympathy, but have a right to ask, and expect to receive, n righteous public verdict. [ repeat, I am the lawful wife of C. C. Bowen, ?nd shall so consider myself until the decree sf my divorce ie granted by the proper author ties ol the Louisville (Ky.) court. MRS. C. C.

PICTURES OF PARIS. ?Ko Gas"-The Theatres Reopening Causea or Defeat-Stories of Suffering -The Late Bombardment-Perils of Spring-German Exactions. [Correspondence or the New York Times.) PARIS, February 20, Paris hopes to have gaslight by the first of March, and without gas, civilization seems im? possible. They.managed somehow in the dark ages by lamp and candle-light, but to one who walks about Paris.now, and remembers what Paris was, ali the ante-gaseous period is a mystery. THE THEATRES. Two or three out of thirty theatres open timidly for day or night performances. On Sunday, nt 2 P. M., the Fran?ais Rave Beau? marchais's gay comedy-of the "Marriageof Figaro," with the second act ol "Tartuffe." On Sunday eveolng there was a concert at the Opera, at the Salle Vallentino, and one at the Grand Hotel lu honor ol the committee Of the London gift of food to Paris. There are good people wno consider theatres and concerts on sunday a sort of Sabbath-breaking, and it may occur to them that the defeat of the French has been a punishment of this sin. It happens, however, that the Germans are quite as much addicted to Sunday concerte and theatres as the French. CAUSES OF DEFEAT. No ; what bas defeated France is ignorance, Incapacity, luxury, vice, and, abdve all, dis? honesty. The poor, brave, beaten soldiers of Prance-, alter every disaster, declar? that they have been sold-betrayed. It Is most true. They have been defeated bv the carelessness and . Incapacity of generals, the strategy of demagogues; out still more Dy the rascality of their commissariat, it was this that delayed and defeated the- gallant McMahon at Sedan. Faldherbe's army of the north was left by the miserable intendance .without food, and bare tooted on the suow. And Just now the array of Bourbaki was In a still worse condition. The men were three days at a time without food, the horses a week without forage. Men and horses laid down by the roadside to die of hunger. In the intense cold .of this- bitter winter, their shoddy clothing came to rags,, and the shoes of whole divisions were found to have soles made of fibre and glue. In the first rain nr thaw these soles swelled, came-off and lelt the tired and hungry-army barefoot. And thia was done by men appointed by .Gam? betta-violent Republicans, men denouncing the vices ot the Empire and of royalty, who have Bold France and filled their pockets. No wonder that Bourbaki, sent on this mad expe? dition, seeing his army BO sacrificed, tried In a fit of mad ^desperation to blow out His brains. Dishonest greed has ruined France, first under the Empire, and still worse under the Repub? lic. Every base Imperialist hastens to declare himself Republican, and. to rob, and thereby murder, his fellow-citizens and poor France, in the name of Libert?, Egatit?, FratejrnU?. STORIES* OF SUFFERING. It is pitiful to see the disarmed garrison ol Paris. The poor Mobiles* lrom the country are everywhere in gatherings of thousands, look? alike flocks ol sheep, cowering together in some great* market-place, waiting to be slaughtered-as thousands of them have been 'io thejiSbambles outside the walls. They get lo the sunshine and crowd together to keep warm, for there are no fires in Paris. Fancy two months of winter ln-<New Yi tk without fires ! Thousands of families, even of the wealthy classes, had to gather in small rooms, put on extra clothing and furs; aud hover over a few embers. You can Imagine the condition of the poor, and yon Cannot be surprised at the temible mortality, especlaly of the aged and infants-poor babes^with no milk and no fire ! . The deaths last week were more than lour thousand.- And the dlfflculty of getting tood. fuel, ?'C., In the minute quantities dis? tributed, was u great hardship. All Paris bad Io go and lorin In long lines nt the baker's lor brood, thc butcher's for meat, the wood a?d coal dealers for a few pounds of luel. Men, anti still worse, women, went before light In Hie morning, however cold, aud stood lor hours Ima bleak wind, or driving snow or ruin, chilled to the bone, with leet wet uad half frozen, wailing for the bit of horse meat, and the at last coarse and miserable bread.. Thou? sands died of this exposure-needless expo? sure, for there were idle people enough to have distributed the rations to every furn Hy. from-house to house. Only yesterday I saw one of these hunger queues in the centre ol Paris; the sidewalk packed for near a quarter of a mile lu lines four or five deep, advancing nt the rate ol a step a minute, to get portions of the provisions sent .from London. IJiave seldom, seen a more pa'hetic Fight The raein nry ol those four or five thousand pale faces, rour-fllths of th m women, brings tears tamy ??yes every time I think *bf them-walling lhere with such patience for the little bundle c-flood to carry home-to their families. The women go - mothers for their children, iiuightefs lor their parents, servants for the. ramilles they serve; for the rich have 'Buffered, ind suffer still, even more than the' poor. Thousands have beeu so cut off lrom all re? sources that, but lor the public rations and sharity, they must have died of starvation. I was showr Hie houses of ladies.of rank Who nave been so kept alive. TUE LATE BOMBARDMENT. The accounts given me of the effects ol the jotnbardment are very curious. A lady who resides in the centre of Paris, not far from the Pulleries,.tells' me that for sixty hours, night ind day, the whole air was Tull of thunder, and clouds ol' smoke and the lightning of cannon ?vere all around the horizon. Every window was rattling, every vase, cup, ghiBS, dancing sn the tables. The roar was perpetual Tiley could reckon the-distance, of the artillery oy ' Liming flash and report; shells came scream? ing through tli? air, bmsting Hear with dull explosions, and the whole din and tremor so affected the nervous system ?that when lt ceased at hist ber whole body lelt like a limb "asleep." She could scarcely feel herself to exist, seemed to walk on air. aud was in doubt whether ?lie was any lunger ia her body. DANOERS ?F SPUING. There Is the apprehension now lhatas the spring advances Paris may sutler more than now from disease. There have been much, small-pox und typhus and putrid fevers and/ dysentery. All round Paris thousands ot' bodies ol men and horses are scarcely covered beneath the surface. The mortality in nearly all the military hospitals has been apphlljng, aud with the consent ot the German authori? ties, large Hains ol wounded have just been sent to the Province \ where they will have a belter chance for recovery. GURMAN .EXACTIONS. These German authorities are carrying mal? ters with a high and haughty hand. Before they would consent to the reopening ol the railways, even, to bring food to starving Paris, they insisted upon having meir full share of the profits of traffic on each road through the country they occupy. Ev?ry Btallon is full ot soldiers; every train is lnsprcied by German officers. The whole army began to study French as soon os they crossed the fron? tier, and has made rapid progress. The young ladles who were expelled from Paris as useless mouths at the beginning of the siege, seem to have engaged themselves as professors of French lo the Germans, und become very use? ful mouths in that particular. It was quite right that they should quarter on the enemy. Sjme ol the towns conquered and occupied by the Gerraaus baye sufl'ered'and are still suffer? ing lar moie than Paris. Rouen and Amiens are both In a most pitiable condition. Their induslrles'have been destroyed, large popula? tions compelled' to idleness aud beggary, they have been mulcted in heavy contributions of money and stores ot all kinds, and every house is occupied by German soldiers. But at Amiens a dread pestilence ls now disputing possession with the invaders. A black or putrid small? pox rages. Every house is chalked with the number ot soldiers billeted ou it, but every few doors the name ot the plague ls wrltteu instead. So war brings Its sister scourges pestilence and lamine. GERMAN FUNDS SEEKING FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. [From the London Economist ] ? The indemnity fo be paid by France to Ger? many ls so large that lt ls taken completely om ol' the range ol ordinary transactions. No equal sum probably has ever been in the hands of any government to use as it liked. During a war no doubt greater sums than we hope the indemnity to be have been often borrowed. But the destination of these sums was fixed. The indemnity will affect us in two ways-first, by causing an expor'of bullion; and next, by causing an export of capital. We may be sure that the first effect 01 the indemnity will be a great bullion movement, which will cause a momentary rise in value of money in Lombard street. How far, then, will that rise be per? manent? To answer this tully we must know what the Prussian Government ls going to do with the money, and that ls exactly what we do not know. If the bullion so obtained be placed in German banks, and they are free to use it, it will gradually flow back again. The, rate of interest at Berlin will be much lower than elsewhere, and the Berlin capitalists will seek loreign investments for their money. As the rate ofinterest has been suddenly raised in England, these capitalists will probably choose English investments, and so we shall soon get our own bullion back again. But we do not feel sure that the Prussian Government will thus act. Remembering how essentially military is the Berlin Government, and how little enamored it ls likely to be of abstract economical principle, we much suspect that a J arge sum in bullion-may by some means or. other be retained. It may be locked up In the treasury, as In the United States, or the banks with which it is lodged may be fettered in some way, and obliged to keep some qf it; and in either case, our own bullion will not quick? ly return to us, and the augmented value of money will continue here longer than lt other? wise would.

BLUE TIMES IN LOUISIANA. \"ew Orleans and the State Bankrupt Extravagance und Corruption of the Legislature-Crash Among- Ba*incss ?Hen Apprehended-Talk of Repudta? lt?n. The New Orleans correspondenl o? the New York-Times writes on the 7th Instant: - .Since the adjournment ol the Legislature, on the 3d instant, the fact is beginning to be apparent that this city and State are bankrupt and insolvent. In spite of the constitutional prohibition, which was adopted by a vote of the people of the State at the election o? No? vember last, that the limit o? the State in? debtedness should not be greater than the sum of twenty-five millions ?ldollars, the late Legislature has exceeded this limit by five mil? lion dollars. This was done, too, by means of open and unblushing bribery and corruption. The members ol both houses, with the excep? tion of perhaps about twenty, are said to have realized from ten thousand, dollars to' liiteen thousand dollars each from votes which were purchased by parties interested in the plunder? ing schemes before them, and which were given accordingly. ? SUDDEN WEALTH -?F MEMBERS. Major F. E. Dumas, a banker of this city, stateB that Mortimer Carr, the speaker of the Legislature ol 1868 and 1869, made some $309, 000 out of the various public and private bills Unit became the subject of legislation. It ls a notorious fact that nearly all the now members o? the late Legislature, on their arrival In this city at the commencement of the session, had not money enough to pay their board for one week, but since the adjournment of that Im? maculate body they are seen sporting about the city willi last horses and fast women. One of ibe senators said that the session bad cost the State, in round numbers, $600,000, or about $4500 lor each member, lor a session of sixty days. The per diem is $8 per day. The peo pte or this elly feel that they have been literal? ly robbed, and ihe Lalk ls repudiation. TUE KKKECT ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUSINESS. State warrants have declined from seventy five to sixty ceats on the dollar, with a strong declining tendency. Real-estate in the city is being offered at fifty cents on the dollar, with no takers. The number of mercantile failures which will probably occur wlthih the next sixty days, it is thought, will be between thre? hundred and four hundred. Your merchants will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. The state bonds and State securities must suffer in consequence of the recklessness and dishonesty of the L?gis? lature. The State officers, with Governor H. C. Warnrouth at the head, have done and are doing all they can to stay the progress of the impending financial storm. The Governor exercised his veto pow? er with great credit to himself, and to the en? tire satisfaction of the people, but it was all o? no avail. He and the auditor of the State, honest James Graham, will now appeal to the courts to assist in their laudable efforts for the overthrow of corrqptipnfsts, but. lt they fall, then there ls no doubt but the people will in> I Bist on repudiation. " So let the dealers In Louisiana state bonds be careful of what and from whom they buy. The business of the city ls fearfully dull and stagnant, without much hope of revival before the fall, as the most of those who would bring business are engaged in preparing their plantations Tor the next season's-crop.

A chatty correspondent of the New York Tribune, sketching the effect of Lent upon.the social gay et les ol the national capital, Bays, If any one entertains a doubt as to the virtue of certain regulations of the Holy Catholic Church, a winter In Washington would go lar to dispel the doubt, especially if the winter In? cluded that period when the festivities, Taging at their highest, ar? suddenly reduced to ashes by the extinguisher ol Lent, in which case the forty days of fasting and prayer will be seen to lose hall their ritualistic significance and become a sanitary provision. ' And cer? tainly no Lent was ever mote needed than tbiB one has been; for the season has not been a short one, and Its exactions have been se? vere. Matrons, martyrs to the morning visit to the extent ot two hundred or three hundred week, have foresworn home and taken, not ' to their beds, but to their coaches, BO long as lt lasted. The doctor has become the bosom friend of ball the 'world, and matin?es dan? santes and receptions have fed its flame furi? ously; while os Its end approached, as the cus- | tom ls, lt blazed like a Mule Gehenna. You think the term is strong; but to-what better can one compare a thing that absorbs life and strength aud beauty and health. Into which mothers fling their daughters as they used to fling them Into the fires of Moloch, from which the blooming girls come out, too often little different from a painted beldame, and which is ihe kindler ol fevers and Als and I the whole>traln.ot cataleptic and nervous dls ' eaeeB ? The Washington season. Is indeed a generic tiling. Women come to the place for | the sake qi lt, as they go to no other etty. The [ ridiculous assumption that the wives of poli? ticians have no- right to any privacy renders official society accessible to all, while the-ln troductlons obtained lhere to people ot the more select circles, when fortified by wealth ana pertinacity, open the whole charmed I round of pleasure: and, beginning modestly with a Bingle public reception, and enticed lo venture" lurther. oneis soon plunged In three deep for every night, and over head and ears the last hali dozen. Not toi oe seen at Mrs. .Carlisle's evenings ls to be parvenu ; not to attend Mrs. Bryan's dancing afternoons ls to be plebeian; to nave been absent from Lady Thornton's parties was to have been Ignobly uninvited; not to hare [.been a part ol the Peruvian Prey re's -ball was > vulgar unacqualntauce wKh the diplomats; and If you went to the Pomeroys. where the r dining-room of the Arlington waa tue only place large enough to banquet the guests, bow could you refuse to go to the Hallidays on the same night, where a daughter of the house had just become a countess, and, meanwhile, the hops at the hotels, the theatres, and the dinners, hurrying on "Balle and masks begun at midnight, burning ever to mid day. When ihey miltie up fresh adventures for thc morrow, do you say r" -os If lime were to be no more. Pleasant things' these bulls, too ; one must be anchorite" to deny lt ; delightful booins for the wayfarer through Vanity Fair. When you estcred their atmosphere you lound It something vastly other than that ot the real matter-of-fact life of .every day that pursued you outside ; It was a region ol' enchantment ; the staircases, from basement to roof, wound with flowering shrub, where art concealed everything but the brandi I and blossom ; wreaths und balls abd basket? of flowers Bwloglng-lrom lintel and window and picture and bracket ; roses crownlug.the stat? ues ; sprays of dropping vines wreathing the .chandeliers that shea the Bort brilliance, or wax lights overhead ; raantelB covered with mo* [ and bedded with violets ; tall vases on precious pediments lifting an overflowing wealth ot uzallas and heliotropes, and rare clusters of ?carlet passion-flowers, and cold camellos, and burning ceraniume, and great white orchids hiving a honeyed breath In their golden hearts, and daphnes dying ol' their own sweetness, encircling the lern-fllled basins* where tiny' fountains cooled the uir about them ; music murmured lhere too ; a stream of gorgeous hues and tissues, bare bosoms and blazing Jewels, ascended and descended the. stairway ; down one vista dancers -flashed In and 'ont their mazes, down another the crystal and gold and sliver ol a table sbope, red with Bur? gundy and Bordeaux, tempting with terrapin and truffles, with' enormities or spiced meats and pastries and confections and fruits. Perhaps the President was In the smoking room, and two or three of his Cabinet minis? ters were not far away; th? general of the army, the admiral of the navy, were sure tb be among the guests. There were the loreign ministers, whose whole life ls In party-going; there were distinguished strangers and world known women, too; but the ball was given for none of them, not for any enjoyment of wis? dom or learning,.or wit-these people were but accessories along the wall-lt was given for lue display ol beauty and toilette; lt was a booth in Vanity Fair, as I said, for the sale of Us wares. Numberless beautiful shapes dined .by you-you, bewildered as some Mohamme? dan Just let loose among the houris bf his beaven. Your eye rested on*one, perhaps, *a face pure as a pearl it may have been, yet lovely only with the loveliness of youth, it3 dewy eye, Its downy skin, Us happy smite; but the toilette was an allurement In Itself, .with its delicately-tinted silk, Its hoarfrost of latte, its pearls and dia? monds; the malden moved # so serenely along, so native to the air, as it were,, th at it seemed us If such scenes were the only ones? In which it was fit she should be found. 'But you- watched her for a while, saw her, warm from the dance, as she took her Ice, while her bare willie shoulders were in the draught that swayed the heavy curtain behind her; present? ly she went lurther into the great supper room, eating there-like a locust-With the appetite of youth and dancing; she ended by swallowing the little bird moulded ]>?te de fois gran, and nestling a Jelly so strongly seasoned, as to drive the blood to her temples, she sip? ped a potation into'which nothing entered but old spirits and fermenting frult-Julccs, and then tier partner's arm was round her waist, her head was on his -shoulder, and she was plunging at the signal Into Hie German, whirling to delicious measures, presently clasped in a new embrace, flying from that man's arms" to anolher'3, growing wild with the abandon of the figure, her hair fly? ing, her dress disordered, her powder caked, her face red, till pausing one inBtuntforthe champagne in a servant's hands, your girl with the face as pure os pearl, seem? ed nothing but a delirious Bacchante. If you pursued observation further, you found that she westhome atdaybreak, that still throbbing with' excitement she could find no Bleep,'but that knowing it she did not sleep she would be unfit for the-next rout, she dosed herself with a soothing drug and was soon lost in dreams as wild as the night had been-a tremendous cjr'ug, os yet unknown In all its powers to Its discoverer-which burns and paralyzes her eyelids, and blinds her eyes,, and makes her brain for many a day as useless as her hands, resilng her nerves by weakening them, und leaving them all ready, with the next drain, for foaming and torturing hysterics and Idiotic epilepsy; and you acknowledge! that Lent came norie too earl j', unless sne and all her kin wished death to take them "where they never see the sun." So there are no more parties now; we went to church Ash Wednesday-those of us who got away from the balls In season-and had a pinch ol ashes sprinkled in our false hair; we I have put away our Duchesse lace ac'd dla* monds, .we hare gotten out our prayer-books and rosaries. Perhaps we shall miss Porter's poisonous p nfl eli, bot we shall find plenty of | fxcuserln the heat ol* tbe chill Of the weather lor .a little, not a little, of our own, lor we have grown so accustomed to the spur and sting of | strong, sweet liqueurs that without them we should drop; soon we shall venture on>ome mild theatricals..whose proceed? shall be given to the poor; perhaps we shall sing Martha over again; some political spread wlilhe necessary; there will be a President's levee, to which we shall all go, as we'narer went before, and be? cause that levee ls regarded aa a sort o? penitential service anyway; we shall have Niiisson nights, with pardonable suppers after? ward; we-snail lorego flesh, but then the shad are'Just coming, and before we know itaU? gently and under the. rose, we shall be-steal? ing into a new season, the fresh, gay" season that the Marok winds herald to ns. BuUo-day, fairly weary with, the last one, the only thing we find to regret is the presence o? the young English noblemen, whom fate seht to onr shores just a ?week too late, and whom we shan doubtless secure for the chief attraction of a few. stately dinners and solemn teas, but J shall not make captive , to the extent of our luU fascinations, for dur wits are a little shaken with eur dissipation, and nobody since the days of Heloise has round sackcloth and ashes 8 becoming as point-lace add pends. ^Special Werltes. " pm- THE GREAT^TERNAlT^ No-class of Invalids are more sensitive to changes of season and variations of temperature than dyspeptics, and persons of bilious habtt. Tender langs are not more easily affected by these vicis? situdes than feeble stomachs. If there ls a ten* dene; in the system to Indigestion, biliousness or bowel complaints, the variable weather of early spring is almost Bore to develop one or tbe other ot Uic&e ailments. Intermittent fevers are also more-prevalent in the sp; mg months than at any other season except autumn. In view or these facts, this seems to be a proper, time to invite es? pecial attention to H08TETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS, a medicine which for a long series of yeats has proved superior to all others as a remedy for the above named disorders, and as protection' against the miasma which frequently produces, and always aggravates them. It was formerly the practice to give violent cathartics as "spring medicine," nor 1B the custom yet entirely obso? lete. Nothing, however, can be more ill-judged and nn-phllosophlca!. The chilling moisture with which the air ls loaded at the breaking np-of win ter, grosses heavily upon Hie vital ?otoes of the body, and reinforcement, not depletion, ls what lt requires. The Bitters ls- a genial and excellent tonic, a moderate alterative, and just enough of an aperient to regulate, wimont convulsing, the bowels.
