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 '

the Ku-Klux, and Hillard Ellison was shot
through the back and mort ally wounded, and

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?

pathy with these deeds of violence, that are J

nave so disgraced tie -up-conatry of late.
This took place about Teven mllet> west of this

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.

THE FOREIGN MAILS.
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.
SOCIETY IE WAJtHlNGTOX.
The Season and Ita Dissipations-Who
and How-Lent a Welcome Relief.
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.

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. It ls, therefore, a specific peculiarly
a.dapted to the present season. , marrl-eiAC
