THE LIFE "WEEOK.
Tresdinlf the alleyways dark and damp,
Bf the flickering light or the feeble lamp,
Breaking the night with her ghostly tramp,
the totters along alone, alone,
From hovel te horel, from afreet to street,
Sh. pick her pasiage through rain and sleet;
With not friend in the world to greet
Not a bonnet , wear, nor a morsel to eat, .
Not a speck of earth to call her own.
Wearing her Kle out day by day,
Throwing her priceless soul away,
Shunning for very shame the ray
Of the sun of heaven, the glorious ran !
Wearj ot life, and afraid to die,
ifraid of the earth and.fraid of the sky,
Afraid f the llSht- phe know8 BOt wnT'
She woos (he night as she heaves a sigh
And thinks of a race that is almost run.
v
Phantom of life and beauty fled,
i-hadowi uniting the quiek and dead !
I knew her before her soul was wed
To the demon of hatred and despair ;
I knew her a happy, thoughtless child, ,
When she prattle J and laughed, and leaped and
smiled. - .
When her heart was pure and her spirits wild,
And all her troubles as light as air.
I knw ber again, in womanhood.
When beauty ond wit no heart withstood
Grand and lovely, yet gentle and good
Admired and loved by the wide and great
Perfect in all that grandeur lends ,
To native beauty in all thut sends
The crowning gem of acluster of friends,
A queen in soul and a queen in state.
Iknowbernow yet I know ber not !
Wlfere all but praise from the senseless sot,
Where all that is pure is spurned, forgot,
I nothing know but a holy dread.
Steeped in misery and disgrace,
Toe eye of man no more caa trace
In that shattered form and shivered face
A sinirle mark of their ancient grace
The figure is there, but the woman is dead !
Shades of immaculate woman ! when
Shall the curse of God coma down on men
Far woman's wrongs? for not til) then -
Shall he atone for thy nameless woes.
When thy oppressor, unhoused, unfed.
Shall stalk the eauh in terror and dread,
With a wreath of scorpions around bis bead - "
To sting the wretch wherever be tread.
Till in uppermost hell he makes bis bed,
lie may pay a part of the debt be owes.
A Lamp Trimmer Becomes a Count.
A somewhat remarkable change of fortune
had occurred to a voting man known by the
name of George Olson, and occupying the
humble position of a lamp trimmer and
"Jack of the Dust" on board the United
States steamship Madawaska, by which he
has suddenly come into possession of $300,
hh) in gold, together with the Hungarian
tittle of Edwar i Louis, Count Batthyanyi,
and the extensive estates' attached thereto.
It appears that Olson, or the Couut, left his
country in 1843 when very young, after his
father had been executed for being concern
ed in the rebellion under Kossuth (to whom
he is related,) and has since been in the U
nited States. He knew little of his family
or their real position, and supposed that in
consequence of his father's disloyalty all
their possessions had been confiscated,
l inding it difficult to Rain a livelihood he
joined the United States navy and was draft
ed on board the United States "teamer Mada
waska as a landsman, was employed as a
lump trimmer and assistant to the captain
ot the hold. He never hinted to his mess
mates that he was of noble birth or had
ever held a higher position than the one he
occupied, in fact, it does not appear that
his courtship had any very clear notions
himself on the matter. Believing his father
to be a disgraced man, he troubled his head
little about family matters and betook him
self with great industry to the care "of his
lamps and all his other duties on board.
Happening to get hold of a newspaper a
short time since he discovered an advertise
ment requesting Edward Louis Batthyanyi
to communicate with certain parties and he
would "hearof something to his advantage."
Our young blue blooded Hungarian lamp
trimmer lost no time in complying, and,
hiving proved his identity, received an in
stalment of $300,000. r Instead ot inform
in? his commanding officer ot this strange
TieisMtude of fortune, which had metamor
phosed a United States Daval lamp trimmer,
and "Jack of the Dust," into a Hungarian
nohlenian, with a revenue of upwards $50,
jXWayear, Batthyanyi, or Olson, deserted
from the Madawaska. lie is now in Wash
ington,under tfie patronage ot the. Austrian
Ambassador, endeavoring to procure a for
mal discharge from the service. That he
will succeed we have not the slightest doubt,
snd it is to be hoped that this sudden eleva
tion to rank and fortune will have the effect
of making him reap the advantage of the try
ing exrieuce be has had Of the roughest
ndc of life. W hile on board the Madawaska
he was remarkable for his good behavior
and the regular discharge of his laborious
duties ; and now, when exalted to the rank
ta Hungarian grandee, we expect he will
become, as he always promised, a respecta
ble and worthy member of society.

Life in Hew Orleans.
With the annroar.h of winter season, the
gambling houses open in full blast, and they
are almost numueriess, ranging in eiegauce
of appointments and monetary streugth
from institutions which furnish royal sup
pers, and command thousands of dollars,
down to little seven-by-nine shanties, where
the lunch consists ot crackers and cheese,
and the "chips" cost a picayune apiece.
Formerly they were licensed under laws of
the Stae, and were open to everybody, but
now they are under the ban, and are some
what exclusive. People have learned to
look unon frequenters of these places with
distrust, whereas in old times everybody,ex-
cept the preachers and deacons, played
without regard to public opinion. , itin law
obliged the proprietors to keep their places
ou the Sr.-;t flour, in order to secure ease of
entrance, and every one betting against the
bank had a legal right to demand the daier
to changehis pack of cards even in the mid
dle of a deal. Although the practice does
itiot obtain so uniformly now, since tue
changes of the hw,- thousand.-' are lost and
won nigtitly on St. Charles street and other
localities, where large brazen figures over a
door, and a screen at the top of the stains,
gives sure iudicatiou that a "game is being
dealt." Strange to nay that, notwithstand
ing the influence of French manners in oth
er matters, faro is tee favorite game, and
(Jreoies the most nuiiicrous players. The
gamblers wield an important iaiiueaoe in the
control of municipal affairs. r
As a natural accompaniment of Mich a
fastjjlaee, gilded bagnios tilled with fast wo
men abound plentifully. Souieof the finest
residences have been appropriated for such
purpose1, and although strenuous efforts are
made to rid the community of them, they
always fail here as they doevery where else.
New York, Boston aud Washington are
probablv the only cities in the country which
excel New Orleans in the extent of its pat
ronage in ?eini-ninrtUe. The Evening Star
carried with her to a waters' grave some of
the most noted mistresses of houses ot pros
titution in the city, and the . adjustment of
their respective "successions" ' property left
behind has furnished whispering gossop
for the whole city,- as it has disclosed the
fact that male partners existed, who had pe
cuniary interests in the houses. Ot course
people don't talk of such things out loud;
but they got whimpered a limit wif li-ifrMat. (ip.r
lerity. There is a. certain boldness about
the appearance and location of these dens
of infamy' here, which is, perhaps, only
equaled by -New York cits'. For instance,
on Boston street three costly marble carriage
steps are laid on the curbstone, on which
are cut in letters the names of King, Ham
ilton and I'almer, mistresses of the house,
and which are in plain sight from Canal
street. King was lost on the vessel refer
red to above, and the roughs call her mar
ble sign a tomb-stone.
The balls of the quadroons, almost alwaj's
fancj' dress, are another prominent point of
fast life here. Of course they are attended
by all the fast young men about town, and
rumor has it that gray heads and beards are
sometimes seen mixed up in whirling quad
rilles, polkas and waltzes, with the long
black tresses of thj semi-white females.
They are conducted with all the rigid con
ventionalities, that pervade similar enter
tainments indulged in by the upper-crust,
and no description of them is necessary.
A West Virginia Elopement.
The Paikersburg Gazette, of Nov. 5th,
says : On Monday, a man who was a Cap
tain in the Federal armv. by the name of
Hare, and who has a wife and family fiving
in Cincinnati, arrived in this city and put
up at one of our' hotels, with a woman,
whom be represented as his wife. It seems
thatduring the war, the gallant captain was
stationed at Buckhannon, in this State, and
while there succeeded in ensnaring the hith
erto seemingly virtuous wife of Mr. William
Martin, who is a hotel keeper in that place.
After a time the Captain was ordered to
other quarters, and was gone until after the
close of the war, when he returned to B.
and took up his abode with Mr. Martin. He
was there some weeks, and then returned to
Cincinnati During his absence a corres
pondence was carried on between himself
and Mrs. Martin, under the cover of a sis
ter of hers. The matter went on slowly,
until Mr. Martin missed. $500 in money
from his pocket book. At that time no one
suspected his wife of having stolen the mon
ey, and several other sums of smaller amount
were missed at different times. The affair
bad been carried on to such an extent, that
danger of discovery becoming immiuent, the
fair but trail and misguided woman, left her
home on last Thursday on pretence tf visit
ing some of her friend, living near Clarks
burg. On arriving at that place she found
the "gay Lothario ' waiting for her, and to
gether they entered the cars and arrived here
on Friday morning. On Saturday night, a
brother of Mr. Martin, accompanied by Mr.
ltohrbrough, arrived here and arrested both
the parties. Last night they were confined
and on Sunday morning left this city under
charge of a special officer, for Buckhannon,
to answer the charge ot stealing. The
amount of money lost was very considerable,
amounting to near $2,000. Mr. Martin and
his wife have been married some eight or
nine years, aud to all appearances, have liv
ed happily, and'this sad and disgraceful oc
currence will be a sad , blow to the erring
woman's many relatives.

A Democratic Organ Favors Negro Suffrage.
From the Chicago Times of Nov. i.
SHALL TUE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DIE OR LIVE?
The present is a crisis in the Democratic
party which has no' precedent in its histors,
as it is a crisis in the progress of the coun
try which is also without precedent. Nev
er before has the Democratic party encoun
tered events so seriously affecting its future
vitality as now. Not that it beholds itself
diminished in the magnitude of its num
bers, for it is numerically stronger than it
has ever been before, but that, having
been beaten on a great national issue, as to
which it believed itself to be -wholly 'right
and the opposition wholly wrong, and still so
believes, it must nevertheless abandon tliat
issue for the decision ot it is final and ei
ther sit down in helpless and decaying inae
tivits'i ir strike boldly out upoa Tiewlir;e:
selected with peculiar retere'nee, not to
things as we would have them,' but to
things tii they actually are, and in pursuing
which Hnc it shall cease to be a hold-back cr
"conserv ative" tartv. and become, what it
! was in its palmy days, a progressive and ag
gressive party. These are the alternatives.
It will not sit down m napless and decay
ing inactivity. . .
What, then, hhall the new line be? In
the first place, must Wi net cut loose from
the administration of Andrew Johnson, and
leave that hybrid concern to float oa the
esa of public contempt into which it-soiue
time sinc entered, and from which no pow
er ca i rescue it? Is not the late defeat at
tributable more largely to this admini-t ra
tion than to ail oilier causes Combined ?
What is there in its composition to com
mand popular confidence? Who, belonging
to it, is entitled, by reason of b;.santeee
dentsorof his statesmanship, to the confi
dence or respect of the Democratic party ?
Certainly it is not Andrew Johnson, nor .
II. Seward, nor Edwin M. Stanton. True,
this admiubitKttion had a right policy, and
the Democratic party, in overlooking the
chief men comprising it, and thinking only
of the rightfulness oi the policy, displaj'cd
a patriotism whose purity was never excelb
ed; but the party having tailed, and hav
ing. failed, too, through the feebleness of
the administration, why tshould not the
Democratic party abandon the dead body,
longer adherence to which would be death
onlv to itself? ' -
succeed untii the negro question shall be got
out of the way? It cannot. What next?
Is not negro suffrage inevitable, and is not
the quickest way to get the negro question
out of the way to at once concede the suf
frage, 'making issue only on t he degree to
which it shall be conceded? We know that
many Democrats have not reached this ad
vanced view of the case, and such still feel
greatly inclined to revolt at the proposition
ot negro suffrage in any degree ; but let us
tell thjin that it is always wise to accept the
inevitable when the inevitable comes. Ne
gro suffrage, we say, is inevitable, and
whether it bp qualified or universal depends
upon the promptness or otherwise with
which the Democratic party shall move with
reference to it, The South will speedily
yield qualifiedne.?ro suffraireupon the motion
of the Democratic party; because, if for no
other reason, she will soon see, if she does
not already ser, that if she do not. yield it,
she will ultimately be compelled to accept
universal negro suffrage.
Qualified negro suffrage yielded by the
South and by this wc mean impartial su&
frage, or suffrage dependent upon the intel
ligence of the man, irrespective of color, as
is now the rule in Massachusetts the ne
gro que.-tion will have been disposed of, and
the occupation of the Northern Radical par
ty will be gone forever. Not one iiich of
ground will it have fo stand upon ; and the
countrs' can once more turn to those mate
rial questions of public polics', the right dis-
fosition of which is so essential to the pub
ic prosperity. It will be upon these ques
tions that the Democratic party will triumph,
and it will be by this triumph that Consti
tutional Government anJ our Federal ss'tem
will be preserved.
If the South be wise, it will not wait on
this suffrage question, even for the motion
of the Democratic party. If it be wise, it
will lose no time in putting in motion the
necessary machinery by which it will at the
same time save itself from humiliation, pre
serve its own self-respect, rid the country
of the most vexatious question that ever
distracted any country, kill the worst politi
cal party that ever existed on the globe,and
put the Union in the way of speedy restora
tion. The machinery consists, of course, in
conventions to revise the State Constitution.

' The Famine in India. ' i
An appalling calamity has lately befallen a
portion of British India. Famine has been
making fearful ravages in the Bengal Presi
dency, and in the Madras Presidency the
distress from the same cause is described as
only less terrible than that in Bengal. Resi
dents on the spot trustworthy witnesses
in endeavoring to 4;ive some idea of the ex
tent of the talamity, depict scenes of thi
most harrowing character. When the fam
ine was at its hight. the starving poor,
w? are told, crowded into the streets ot Cal
cutta, ?and it was estimated that no fewer
than 20,000 to 25,000 starving people were
wandering about the capital. At Mullick's
Ghat, where the Bombay merchants raised
a fund and distributed food, there was at
one time 7,0 )0 famishing applicants crowd
ed -up.- They were described as placed in
ordi-uptii aii open space waiting for the
distribution. "On one sHe nearly 4.CO0
Hindoos, each with a leaf platter before
him, were scattered on the wet ground,
hastily partaking oiVuti scants' duie they
received. Oa the other side were thou
sands of famishing Mussulmans ranged m
like manner, and watching with silent and
greedy earg'eruess the lncal of their Hindoo
brethcrn, and counting with bitttr longings
th-3 minutes till their turn should come.
Cinder the .-belter of the Ghat crowded the
wnmeii, girls and ehild:-en.' Ot the sates
were hundreds and hundreds who had hsf.
ibeir cl aiiiXJ till the next distribution, lint
over all aliorrible dead sileuca. No chat
tering or converse, hardly a sound, except
ing when at intervals some wretch threw up
his arms with an ej:icu!r.tiot to Heaven,
wrung from him bs' the unappealable pangs
of hunger." More than this, officials wrote
home descriptions of -Meeting de;d bodies
in every morning's ride bodies ling in the
road, with the village dogs eating them at
leisure. A Calcutta journal stated that in
Balasore, having a population ot 12,000,
the deaths amounted to 300 a day ; and on
the Government demanding of its officials
a report against the libel, the Collector of
the District replied that on the Sth August
he had 245 dead in the city, ou the 0th,
151, and foi the week ending the IHh 12b" a
dus', the bodies sometimes remaining un
buried for three days. The province of
Orissa suffered the most severely, one paper
declaring that 40,000 souls have perished
in maritime Orissa alone. Indeed, a tele
gram trom India announces triat ti air trie
population ot Urissa have perished in tne
famine that is, fully two millions and a
half of people! --
Miserable End of a Miserly Baronsss.
The Paris papers report that the commis
sary of police of the quarter of the Place
Vendoino, accompanied bs a doctor, recent
ly visited the apartment of a baroness, in
order to certify, at the request of the in
mates tf the house, thedeath of the lads',
who was seventy-five years of age. The ap
pearance of the apartment indicated extra
ordinary neglect. There was scarcely any
furniture, the dust of shears obscured the
window panes, and the paper on the wall
was spotted and rotten. The place appear
ed lo be uninhabited from time immemori
al, and yet the baroness had lived there for
twenty-five years, paying an annual rent of
1,5'JOt. In the bedroom, stretched-upon a
truckle-bed, and partly covered with filthy
rags, lay' the body of the baroness. An ex
amination showed that death arose from
weakness caused by want of food. It fur
ther appeared that she had starved herself
wilfully, and, indeed, in point of avarice
the baroness wtuld have borne away the
palm from Ilarpagon or Gosbeck. Not
withstanding her considerable fortune, esti
mated at 50,000 a year, she always went
clothed like a beggar, and often solicited
charity in the street. She lived on crusts
of bread, the refuse of cabbage and other
vegetables, and such like garbage, that she
picked up from the dirt heaps. A few dai s
before ber death she fell down from weak
ness, while passing the door of a cottage
from want of food ; but she refused to take
some refreshment offered to her, no doubt
fearing that she would hjve to pay for it.
She succeeded in gaining her apartment,aud
"was not afterwards seen alive.
