OR, THE BEAUTIFUL QUADROON !
A True Story of New* Orleans Life.
13 V CUAR1.ES WISTKftFIfcLt).
A SL'ffSgf SCES'B.
'Twas evening? a balmy June evening?
in New Orleans, the gay metropolis of the
sunny South. The red-crested waves of
the Gulf, rolling lazily in from the setting
sun, lashed the pebbly bench in front of the
City, and rocked the fleet of vessels anchord
in the offing?a picturesque medley
of smoking steamers, cotton laden merchantmen,
filibuster cruisers, African
slavers, and Cnstilian fishing smacks. In
the far distant, to the east, might be seen
the glittering mosques and minarets of Algiers,
distinctly defined against the deep
blue of tho still more distant hills of Opelousas.
To tho west the watery expanse
was relieved Dy the Candelabra Isjands, interrupting
but beautifying the hazy view of
somniferous Mobile. The scene, in short,
was mncli as to gladden the poetic eye and
Saturate the soul with soft, sweet melancholy.
Nor were the sounds that greeted the
ear less soothing in effect than the view of
the surrounding sccnery. A sharp and
melodious twang came from the flocks of
birds that flocked the blue vault above?
the galHnippers, a species ofepelican peculiar
to Louisiana?whilst the deep chora!
roar of the alligators in the Massasip
Bayou and Lake Gretna, was pleasantly relieved
by the sharp cracking of the rifles
and pistols of the merchants and lawyers i
and other denizens of the city, settling up
their daily disagreements on Pontchartrain
Ridge, and after the peculiar fashion
of the tronics. The streets of the o.itv nro.
sented their wonted lively aspect. Here
might be seen a foot-race between a Senator
and-a Cyprian, with cowhides and pistols
switching and popping?there a roughnnd-tuinble
combat between an Alderman
and boot-jack with the ladies applauding
from the balconies, over yonder a ringfight
between a judge and a steamboat engineer?whilst
the boys in crowds were
pelting houses with bricks and stones, in
different directions, and the dogs yelping
and scrambling about in promiscuous .piles.
It was in short a summer evening in |
New Orleans.
II. El'LALIE.
In the old Moorish quarter of the city
sfotHjTii large mansion, or castle, so to !
speak ; with high walls and grated windows,
which repelled alike the inquisitive
gaz?i^f the populace, and the occasional
bullen that came whizzing along from the
neighboring afFrayf and duels. Within,
however, all was a paradise. All that
wealth could procure, or taste devise, was
here concentrated, as if by the magic of a
genii.
In the .center of the tesselated court
yard across the silvery spray of a fountain,
giving life to the little rainbows above, and
sustenance to the eels and polliwogs that
wiggle in the marble basin below. From
the surrounding terrace a grove of tropical
trees and plants dispersed their fragrance
and shade in the most voluptuous sweetness?the
towering pine-apple, the widespread
magnolia, the white-blossomed
live-oak nnd the stately lemon, with a
thick face-work of pumkin and cocoa-nut
vines netting them together and dangling
their golden fruilin evening breeze.
In the midst of this luxury specially
dwelt its soul, Bulalie?the beautiful qua-,
droon Eulalie, a slender, dark-eyed, tawny
skinned, etherial being, whose sweetness
reveled halo-liko around her. Dressed in I
ft loose oriental costume, wbicfc revealed
*tb<[K?quisite contour of her matchless form,
and reclining on a cushion of gold em*
broklered velvet at the brink of the marble
basin, the beautiful maiden abused herself
by alternately feeding and caressing a
geldon macAw, which sat perched upon
one of.lier lovely shoulders, whilst with her
delicately pink nailed toes sho plashed the
water iu the basin, and sported with the
. polliwogs. Behind her stood a sable African
girl, of a dark black color, fanning
her in route respectful silence with aneuormous4urkey-tailr
plume.
"Bobo r issued frem between Eulalie's
ruby-set pearls.
"Yes, missus!" and tho African bent
over to her.
" 'Has he come yet, Bjbo?" asked the
seraphic voice..
"No, iaij|us f was tho response.
* fcTheo go and call that organ grinder
thai 1 hear ; and.JBobo, go to aunty at tho
corner, and brifig me some non-com
I -J- "| VMMUJ
and* bottle of nigger beer."
"Yea4 missus and Bobo went.
III. TIIEJ3 AMINO SALOON.
In & gorgeously gilt-mirrored and Turkey-tnrpeted
saloon, in the European quarter
oHIio cite', were assembled a promiscuous
hesetnologe of lawyers, judges, editors,
merchants, 'planters, and preachers,
absorbed in the gamo called Pha*
ronfi. The tables were musical with the
cfcfcks of gold, and the rattling of tfee ivory
checks ; but voices there were none, the
players were too much absorbed in their
hazardous pastime to give ulternuce to their
feelings in speech.
At one of the tables there was but one

respected ; for he was no less a personage i
than Dun Antonio Alplionsnn do la Ding
Dong, the last oflho illustrious lino of tho
Barons ofTuckipaw, and tho most fearful
and deadly dtlcllist that ever lived. I
'Change," said the keeper of tho table,
taking up, with trembling fingers, a bank
cheek whidfi the Don, with a muttered
malediction, had staked on ono of the I
cards.
'Caitiff, no !" ho thundered ; "I go tho I
whole hundred thousand on the jack f" I
The dealer, white as a sheet, dealt out I
the cards. Tho first check was his ! and he !
tossed the chequo over upon the heap of s
gold and bills which he had previously won i
of th<j luckless Dou. Tho excitement of the
beholders was now intense?they wero palo
and breathless like so many marble statutes,
in their anxiety as to what would follow.
"'Tis welll" exclaimed tho Don through i
his set teeth, looking around at tho crowd
with a bitter smile ; that i9 all I have in
bank just at present," he continued ; 4'but I i
have one more stake, if you'll take it!"
"What is it ?" asked the keeper.
"My girl Eulalie?the quadroon Eulalie,
that I bought at the St. Louis Arcade last i
Sunday, for a hundred and fifty thousand !" <
"Eulalie, Eulalie !" cxclaimcd a voieo in ;
the crowd, as of some one shot with a sudden
pang. 1
The Don, the gamester, and the specta- i
tors started at the exclamation, and looked
round for tho speaker, but failed to find
him. i
"I take the stake!" said the dealer, with
white lips. <
Tim Diin rlrmv frnm lii<a lironQt n nfiflrnrrA
of papers, from which ' selected the deed
of sale of Eulalie, and tossed it on the ace. I
Again, amidst the most appal ling silencc, |
the dealer dealt. The first aec was his ! (
The Don rose with a fearful oath, and the
dealer fainted. The crowd got out of the i
way, apprehending blood?ail hut one, a i
slender, beardless, blue-eyed, fair-haired
youth, delicate almost as a maiden, who i
walked up to the Don and looked him right i
straight in the eye.
"Who are you that dare thus stand in t
the way of me?" asked the duellist, in a t
VOI/'O flint irnrrlit Ii'iito mo/Li ll?^ Mile
"Nobody," replied the youth quietly, with J
a smile, folding his arms across his breast, and i
meeting the Dou's fearful frown with a t
meteoric fhish of his pale blue eye. "A 1
mere nobody, a stranger in town. Hut I
have a little to say about this girl Kulalie !"
It was ho who had startled the crowd,
upon the Don's first mention of the beautiful
quadroon.
IV.?THE TUAGEOV. !
For a moment the Don was silent. A I
fierce joy lit up his countenance?one of t
those fearful smiles that never failed to por- r
tend somebody's death. The spectators re- c
mained appalled and breathless, and fearful c
of givipg olfonce by leaving. i
"Pitiful stripling!" at length exclaimed c
the Don, "that for thy impertinence," and
i... 1 ~ 1- .1. - ? -
iiu u?,ijtu iu iwkhk iiiu yuuiu s nose, UUI,
with the quickness of lightning, the youth c
fended off the arm of the giant, twisted his t
finger in his moustache, slung him around
him in a circle, kicked him under the knee, I'
and laid him sprawling and foaming on the I
Hoor. r
' Know you now !" exclaimed the youth, i
in a voice that rang like a death-bell, and I
with a distinct blaze of pale fire shooting t
from each of his blue eyes, "that I am the s
eater of fire-eaters?that I am Jack Chaw- 1
bones, of Arkansas, the son of Fate! And s
I claim tho girl Eulalie by the right of 1
I"
1 o
"Alia!" exclaimed the Don, livid with v
rage, having regained his feet, "I am Fate v
himself! and never, pitiful caitiff, shall you n
leave this room alive! What are your n
weapons?" f
"Anything, from a toothpick to a cannon!" \
replied the youth, with a cool, deadly suiile. 1
It happened that neither were armed ; r
and, upon inquiry, the only weapon to be
had was the solitary horse pistol of the game- a
keeper, who sat, livid and trembling, be- o
hind his table. p
4,Now," thundered the Don, "we'll cut a
for the pistol, and the loser shall take his f
Btand and welcome death." (
"Agreed 1" said the youth ; "and, as I I
hate child's play, let the loser take the muz- t
zle of the pistol in his mouth." c
" Tis well," said the Don, picking the b
cards from the Pltarnnti ?
%??v?w ???%? aiiuilllll^ 1'
thorn. "Stripling, cut! the highest wins." li
The youth cut the cards and showed an fi
ace ! Tlie Don cut, and showed an ace aUo. e
"Again 1" he bellowed, hoarsely,shuffling I
the cards once more. , <]
It might now bo seen that the Don be- t
trayed symptoms of a superstitious fear, a
whilst the youth became more cool and a
statue-like than ever. Again tho cards {
wero cut. Tho youth raised a seven, and t
the Dou a duce !
"If you have any prayers to say," said
tho Vnntli *

tol, "I'll give you tiiuo^'
"I have lived a devil," 6aid the Don, c
witli livid lips, "and, by Satan,I'll die one!" 1
Saying which, he raised his moustache, ^
and assisted the youth in placing the muzzle
of the pistol between his teeth. The
awful moment had come.
"Ask for your life, dog," said the youth,
"and 3rou?hall have it."
"Never!" snarled tho Don, fiercely.
There was i? the next instant a loud report,
9.cloud of smoke, a heavy fall on the
flour, ancTwhen tho Bmoke cleared away,
tho brains, teeth and hair of the last of the
liarons of Tuckipaw were scattered all over 1
tho safoop.
i tie youth took from the lifeless trunk 8
the packet of papers before alluded to; then,
turning to the game-keeper, he said. 1
"Restore to me the wealth you have taken
from this man, or, by heaven, you shall .
accompany him on his journey to. purga- 1
tory !"
The keeper instantly handed to him all '
he had won of the Don?gold, bills, cheque,
and EulaKu's bill of sale, saying at the same r
time?
MI ?m willing to pay you besides for rid- 1
ding this saloon of a man who has been its
terror tor years 1"
UI slay for tho lave of staving?not for j
filthy lucre!" railed youth, turning on
his ueel and leaving the saloon. j

Llint Eulalie permitted liim to remain.
"Know, Ktilalio, that I linve been searching
nfter tliee for years. ! When an Infant,
I was left with the Cherokee Indians by my
Father, of whom I knew nothing, and whom
I never sax* afterwards; but three years ngo
I received a letter from him, charging me,
in tho event of his not writing to me again,
to search for his other child?a sister whom
I had never seen, who was stolen away
From him in her infancy. Six months since,
Upon information received in my father's
letter, I got track of my sister, learned that
die was a quadroon, and finally heard that
die was to be sold at auction by her bankrupt
possessor. On the wings of the wind
I Hew to the city, but the sale had taken
n I ace. and I despaired of tindiusr her. But
to-night, by tlio favor of heaven," lie continued,
rising in his enthusiasm, "I met the
owner of my sister in a gambling saloon,
where, despoiled of all his wealth, he put
her up for his last stake. I interfered?I
slew him?killed him very dead?and here
I am ! Eulalic, thou art my long-lost sister,
and I thy brother!"
Need we dwell upon tho rupture of a reunion
like this? Long and sweet was tiio
communion of the brother and sister. But
at length Kulalie spoke :
'Since thou art uiy brother," she said,
"tell tne of my father, whom I never saw
nor heard of. Does he still live ?"
"Alas! Kulalie, 1 know not. I only
know that he was wealthy?that lie was
Liio Inst of the Uarotis of luekipaw, and
went by tlie name of Don AntotiiS Alphonsus
de la Ding Dong."
"Oh, merciful heavens!" screamod Eulalie
; and ?lie fainted. Her brother,startled
beyond measure, soon revived her with appliances
that were at hand and the assistance
uf Dobo.
"Now tell mc sister," he said, "why this
ularm ? What means tliT?? strange agitaLion
?"
"Oh," she sobbed, uwretched children
[hat wo are! Oh, brother, my master was
my father, and I knew it not?nor did he!
And you, unhappy boy, have killed our
atlier ! Oh, heavens, what will become of
is !"
'rl . .1 1 .. ??-r .. ...
meyouui museu awtnie. "Well, well!"
ie at length said : ul understand his bravery
low. No man but my father could -have
net death as he did. l'eaee to his ashes!
t was Fate that killed him?not I!"
VI.?CONCLUSION?
Next day the young man hade his beauiful
sister an affectionate adieu, and left for
California. The day after that the Don's
>roperty was seized and confiscated to pay
lis debts ; and Kulalie, having possessed
lerself of all evidences of lier slavery, desroyed
them, and left the house free, but
>enniless. In due time she got over her
jrief at the death of her father and the loss
tf her brother ; and now, any pleasant siiib
ner evening, she may be seen" selling flow:rs
along Canal and St. Charles.
As American Pirate.?A Ilong Kong
:orrespondent of the London Times gives
he following account of an American pirate :
"While I am upon tltfesubject of piraej, I
et me mention that an American, named j
Sli Hoggs, was tried at Ilong Kong on Wedicsday
last, for piracy and murder. His
lame would do for a villain of the 13 lack>eard
class, but in form and feature he was
he hero of a" sentimental novel. As he
tood in the dock, bravery battling for his
ife, it seemed impossible that that handome
l>oy could be the pirate whose name

lie boldest and bloodiest nets of piracj'. It '
vas a face of feminine beauty. Not a down
ipon the upper lip ; large lustrous eyes; a
noutli the smile of which might woo coy
naiden ; affluent black hair, not carelessly
larted ; hands so small and so delicatclv
bite that they would create a sensation in
Jelgravia?such was tho Hong Kong piate,
Eli Boggs.
"lie spoke for two hours in his defence,
nd he spoke well?without a tremor, withut
and appeal for mercy ; but trying to
rove that his prosecution was the result of
conspiracy wherein a Chinese bum-boat
?ro* rietor and a sub-official of the colony
both of whom he charged as being in
eague with all the pirates on the coast) were

ouree, false. It was proved that he had
oarded a junk, and destroyed, by ennnon,
>istol and sword, fifteen inen ; and that
laving forced the rest overboard, lie had
ired at one of the victims, who had clutchid
a rope and held on astern. No witness,
lowever, could prove that he saw a man
lie from a blow or a shot struck or fired by
he pirate. The jury, moved by his youth
md courage, straining hard their conscience*,
icquitted him of the murder, but found him
juilty of piracy. He was sentenced to be
ransported for life."
