SKETCHED IN SMILES AND SHADOWS BY GRACE GREBSWOOD. I spent the winter of 1802 in "Washing ton. It was rather a dull season politically. The attrofphere about the Capitol wassul en and portentous. Disagreeable wran gles, that led to nothing but inteaser ill feeling, were the order oi each day.* After unsatisfactory mornings, spent in watching Congressioiiel proceedings, which were neither amusing nor edifying, we turned with more than usual zest to musical and dramatic entertainments. Among the latter, perhaps, might be included the somewhat profuse and deluding honors paid to Kossuth. Charlotte Cusliman p'ayed a long en gag' ment at the National riieatie that season, filling the singe with the grand sweep and regal of her genius charming in social life with rare wit aTicJ culture— with the womanly truth of her nature and th? genial simplicity ot h' rts Shunnon. Following Cushman, that fixed star of the drama, came the lawless, erratic little meteor, Li* MotiteZ. Every bod v knew that she was bv no means a nice and proper young person, vet everybody was anxious t< see that dancing enchantress, who owned he is it to being "wild and wayward—though never wicked"—that subdue* of elderly kings and tamer of young husi-ands —and evervbody went once at least, and was subject fi>r one perilous evening to the P'-I1 of her dork, splendid entangling eyes and C rciao lavinations. S!ie„ appeared raeiely as a dancer, and she was* hardly th it. Daring and dazzling, she was want ing in grace and Hl' iMic finish. She show.d a s..rt of petulant disdain of the ordinary arts of the dan ;tu.-e, relying wholly, it seemed, ou tbe piquant beauty of her face and the splendor of her cos tumes. Her form was light and lithe, but too thin at thai tune for perfect symmetry. Beautiful she was with those wonderful oyts, blazing forth now and then from un der long, heavy drooping lash--*—and her dsrk, soft, abundant hair, gathered back from her low forehead in lovely, shining ripples, and lit by some gorgeous tropical flower. Yet to me there was something sad in her passionate, defiant, utterly im peachable face. Alas, it would have seemed sad bevond-tears, could 1 have foreseen the piteous, dreary ending of that erring and wasted life, of that in id, b ufied chase after pleasure ; 'be sudden awful blight of par alysis—the painful death .so wearily pro longed—the fun< ral of the forgotten cour tesan —the humble grave of the Magdalen. Very little is really known of Lola MOP- I tez, though several sketches of her 'ife J have been written —one purporting to be from her own pen. One ot our party at the theatre that night was an English gauthman, who had seen her several wars before, at her first appearance iu London, bhe was then, he said, exqni sitelv beautitu , yet was hissed, not for her had dancing, though that may have de served it, but be-ause of her being recog nized, by some officer* in the pit, as an English oran Irish woman, and the run away wife of a captain in the army. She had, it seems, left her husband in India, with the understanding tbat she was going to England o i a visit, but she went no farther than bpain, where she took some lessons in Spati;.-h aijd ballet d-nci:.g, After gaining some little reputation on the Continent, she was daring enough to appear under lmr pretty Spanish sobri puet ou the boards of Drury Lane. Her English career was very snort. She was next heard ot as playing a m re import ant, if not a more honorable role, as the chief favorite,friend and adviser of King Lud wig, of Bavaria —as the power behind that respectable, but not very" imperial throne, which stands in a gorgeous, gilded hall in the new palace at Munich. Lud wi"* was a gentleman of much energy and enterprise, and of artistic fa*tes. lie had built a tine palace and noble museums of art. He had been the generous patron of sculptors and painters, aud had greatly beautified the capita! city. His loyal subjects had been willing to indulge him in his pretty edifices, but they did object to the scandal and co-t involved in his infatuation for the young Spanish danseuxr who had turned his royal head with her heel*, and firt-d L a 1 "-a iy-going* old Ger i man heart with her wicked witch eyes.— It was an attachment highly paternal an.l platonic doubtless, but necessitating in the munificent royal mind, a handsome estab lishment, horses, phretons, dogs, diamonds, and finally the titlu and estates of a Coun tess. • Well, those loving subjects grew more [ and moie aver*- to seeing th ir august j sovereign bowing his annointed head to kiss the*hand ot a dancing adventuress. — They denied his divi.ie right to make a fool of himself i his old. aga. They ridi culed, they reviled, they raved. They fi nally made the crown too hot for thic monarch's .head, and it was laid down more in sorrow than in anger—aud Max iruillian took# up, aud wore it royally enough, 1 believe. , Lola Mootez, or Madame the Countess of LandbfeldVwhoee unveracity baa never "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHTS."—Thomas Jelftrwn, TU NKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, APR. 17, 1867. been impeached, aaid that her persecution results from her having advocated reforma political "and religious, which roused against her the Jesuits, that immortal and übiquitous society, which has borne so much killing, and so thrive on proscription. The priests, she said, set on the students an ungallant set of Ger man boors, who quarreled with her dogs and did not take horse whipping meekly. Certain it is that she was compelled to leave Munich without much time for pack ing ; but perhaps she went not altogether unwillingly; the dull life of a small Cer raan capital must have bored her immense ly, and she was evidently not meant for "an old man's darling " II I remember rightly, the next the world heard of her was a piece of piquant scan dal, She had somewhere caught in her toils —those subtle toils, seemincrly light and silver as gossamer, yet iu reality as strong as steel, and as tenacious as grap pling irons —a wealthy and well born vouiig Englishman, and marrit-d him. He was under age and of intellect, and as it was presumed that'he had give.) him sell in marriage tinder the spell of the evil eye (a pair of them,) if not under actual bodily fear, his friends resolved to rescue him and separate the ill-matched couple. Tiun followed that famous pursuit over the continent, from city to city, Lola Mon tez always keeping a little ahead, havmg in close custody her terrified and submis sive victim. A pretty chase she.led them, but they overtook her, at last —her hus band went over to the enemy, who bore him off in triumph. Then there was a tri al. The law vindicated injured male inno cence, wealth and respectibility, and di vorci'd the' poor young gentleman —the mere wrick ot himself, his friends said, hut it is to be hoped he was brought round again, on toast and wine-wiiey, and ripen ed at hut into an average Briton of the ' swell" tvpe, which Leech so delighted to picture- It was well for poor Lola that all this did nut happen a ceutury earlier. Her judges would then have shut their eyes, and con lemced her to hanging or drown ii,.r as a witch. She was now afloat aga.n, and, like all floating things, she naturally drifted to America. On the same steamer with the Ex-Gov t-rnor of Hungary, came the ex dictatrcM of Bavaria. It was noticed that she tried her fasciaation on the great Magyar, but without avail. She daily sat near bim on deck, looking charming, even in her sea wraps, gazing dreamily over the cigarette. And he too smoked ami dreamed, and re luembere 1 and hoped ; but his cigar wax the sedative of a brain overwrought by grand schemes and great thoughts—his dreams were noble, his memoiies solemn, his hopes beneficent, and if he 1 eeded that woman of unwomanly ways, it was to give a thought of pity to the restless heurt aud the wasted life. The theatrical career of Lola Montez in tho States was not tr.lliant or prolonged. F w wished to see her more than once— she flitted fr. m cty to city, doing some very generous thii gs, let it be rem -mber ed of her—showing especial kindness to wards children, who were iu sormw and in need. Then sighing, like liiru of Mace don for a new world to conquer, she flitted to California, where she saw life under a thousand new aspects, each one wilder than tbe last. She flung herself, with reckless abandon, with what seemed pure, irish Deviltry, into that rough, adventu rous life, unsubdued, unterrified, incorrigi ble, under some very hard experiences.— Strange stories of her her crazy freaks, her desperate, daring wavs, eame to us and made us laugh, yet idiud der while we laughed. She tamed bears, rode en cat-ilier, gambled, shot at and horsewhipped her enemies, flung about Iter money and married right and left. She seemed to have a mania for marrying ar.d being "divorced, for falling in love and lighting her way out —poor mad little # eiu ner! At length broken in health, if not in spirit, she returned to the Atlantic States, and heyag a new career, as a lecturer. — Herhctnres were flimsy, patched up af fairs, and of questionable moral tone. — Tliey were probably not written altogether bv herself- —yet I should say she could have produced something better, it less ambitious, had she given naturally and simply, recollections of the strange coun trios and peoples she had seen. Though not a well educated woman, her conversa tion was said to be singularly spark dag and racy. Yet the flash and swi-ep of her magnificent eyes and the bewitching fall of her lustrous dark lnir wnt far with the gem ral audience to make up for the lack of wit and wisdom in her words. Though apparently the most rosp-Kjtable, this peri o 1 was perhaps the most pitiiblo of ber life. The tool of unprincipled men, she had entered on a work for which she was even less fitted than for the profession of the dancer, and in which she depended more diieelv fot success on ber unenviable repute. Though her dress was modest and her manner grave, her lectures were more demoralizing than her dancing had been. She usually read vc-rv nicely, with no effort at oratory or display of feeling; but on the night when I heard her, a a somewhat obj ctionable passage w9 dis tinctly hissed by a gentleman sitting in front of the platform. Instantly a gust of passion swept over her lovely face, trans forming it into something terrible. She paused, fixed her eyes on the offender, and seemed lika a tigress just about to , springs She mastered her anger, however and went on reading, but with a fiarce gleam in her oyes to the end. .After this, out of sight out of mind she passed wholly, till I heard of her sudden illness —that erne! stroke that left her help less and so pitiable, blighted and aged be fore time—a fate most terrible for an or ganization like hers, all nerves and fire and action. Then followed the long dim twi light of that life of fitful and lurid brilliance, misty and chill, and ushering in a night that seemed quite dreary and starless But the poor soul thought she saw amid the mists of the gloom the steady shiniug of the Star of Stars, gracious and pitiful—the Star that shone over the Manger of Bethlehem and came out above the Cross of Calvary ; and on this side she fixed, to the last, those great dark eyes through which had blazed every wild hrimaa passion and sinful be gnilcment, but which had sometimes sof tened, with human pity and overflowed with penitent tears. So who would dare deny to them the right to look toward those divine beckoning rays of peace and pardoning grace ? I have beard from a lady who knew the kind Samaritans who nursed poor Lola Nlontez in bur last sickness, that her grate ful gentleness and humility were very pa thetic. Tiiat fierce, rebellious nature seem ed utteily tarued. She crept to the foot of the Cross and crouched there weeping, till she seemed to hear the gracious words "Thy sins are forgiven.thee." In the summer of 1863 I vim ted Mun ich. While driving about that fine capital, which, from its aspect of aewnesy, seems more like an American than a European city, ihe beautiful residence allotted by ttie late King to Madame Lola Montez was pointed out to us by our valet de palace. "Was she very unpopular in Munich ?"' I asked. "Yes, madame, with our most respecta ble citizens, and latterly with the students —but she was good to the poor—they missed her." In the Art Gallery of the new palace, King Ludwig, who was a great connoisseur of beauty, bad set apart a hall for the por traits of living European beauties, and at the head of all these we found a portrait of Lola Montez flecidedlv the loveliest pic ture there. Even the reigning Queen, a voting aud pretty women, was given a less honorable position in the gallery. YYe were told that the old King exacted of his successor a promise that tins picture ahould remain in its place, at least while Ite lived. lagthe rose-embowered 9tudio of Kaul bach we found another portrait of—as the painter named her — 44 the Couatess of Landerfildt."' It was a full length, in an antique Spanish dress, a superb aud stately picture, after the style of Vandyke One hiight afternoon in this winter of 18C7, 1 was wandering through Greenwood Cemetery, and suddenly came upon an humble grave, in a small three cornered lot, quite unadorned, and only marked by a plain white stone, bearing simply this in scription : 44 Mrs. Eliza Gilbert. Died February \Tth , 1866 — aged 42." Jt was the of Lola Montez! I could scarcely realize that after such a free, wild swing at life, from continent to continent, she had been limited to such a narrow domain. llow that little triangu lar hedge seemed to imprison that wilful untamable creature, that rebel against so ciety, that Zingara of the world! How heavily the earth seemed to rest on that strange, wild heart, passionate as fire, in consistent ag water. How still she lay. who bad seemed like some gleaming tropi cal bird, gay and fierce and restless. Kind people provided this place of re pose for her poor, weary, faded body, but it is hardly likely that they often visit the spot. There me here no floral tokens of lovely remembrance. Doubtless, many an unmarked grave in the Potter's Field, on the hilLide, is more frequently visited. But as I stood over that mound, I felt only womanly pity and regret, and gladly would I have laid thereon an offering of flowers, to fade on the brown turf as her beauty had faded from the world ; not sumptuous ro ses, typical of her in her lovely prime, when the great German painted her—no lillies, which might seem to reproach her memory—but a bunch of purple Heart's Lasc, breathing reconcilement and peace. —Philadelphia Hnne Weekly. ne richest nun of the world, it is said, will probably be young Lord Bel grave, the grand-son of the Marquis of Westminster, if he lives to inherit the property of the latter.

Pat Malopey, better known by the name of Father Pat,, on returning from work one evening, was met at the gate by.Biddv, bis better half, in a high state of excitement. "Pat," says she, "there'B a strange cat in the cabin." * "Cast her out, thin ; don't be botherin' me about the baste." "Faix an' I've' been strivin' to do that for the mather of tin minits past, but she is beyant my reach, behind the big red chest in the corner Will yez be after helpin' me dhrive her out, Pat V "To be sure I will ; bad luck to the con sate she has for me bouse. Show her to me, Biddy, till I tache her the respect that's due to a man in his own house —to be tak iu' possession without so much as by yer lave—the thafe o' the world !' Now, Pat had a special antipathy to cats, and Yiever let pass an opportunity to kill one. This he resolved to do in the present case, and instantly formed a plan for '.he purpose. Perceiving but one way of egress for the animal, he says to Biddy : "Hav yez iver a male bag in the house me darliut ?" "Divil a one is there, Pat. Yez took it to tbe mill wid yez, to bring home chips, this morn in'." "Faix an' did, and there fit is yet, thin. And have ye nothin' at all at all in tbe house that will tie up like a bag, Biddy"?" "Troth an' I have, I\it—thti e'snie Sun day petticoat—ytt can draw the strings close at the top an' sure it will be better for not lettin' the cat lavin' ye." 4 Biddy, durlint, ye're a jewel; just be after bringin' it to me at wanst." Biddy brought" the garment, and sure enough it made a good substitute for a bag. Pat declared at a glance tbat it was "illegant.'* So, holding it close against ihe edge cf the chest, he took a look behind and saw a pair of eyes glaring at him. "An' is it there ye are, ye devil? Be out o" 1 that, now, bad luck to yez- ye tha vin vagabone. Bed-id an' ye won't lave at all with perlite axin'—yerself will bate the pigs intirely. Biddy, hav yez any hot wather?" "Sure I've the full of a tav kettle all a bilin', Pat" "Be after ca*tin'the matter of a quart thin behind the chest, and we'll see how the baste minds the like o' that." "Howld close, thin, here goes the steam in' hot water."
