VOL. XI. LOLA MONTEZ IN COURT. Monsieur Jobven Again—Lola gives her His- tery—A Rich Scene, {From the New York Day Book } It seems that Mr D. Wyems Jobson is again in the law, and an account of his, as attorney in @ case against one Norman B. Griffin, was assigned to Mr. W.H. Harvey. Madame Lola Moutez,who, it seems, knows Jobson, was called asa witness. The case is before a referee, and yesterday a — exciting scene took place. According to Lola’s statement, Jobson is any- thing but aclever fellow. She says he wanted to write -her memoirs apon a certain occasion in London. Lola was greatly amused to hear Jobson called ‘‘Doctor."* The following sketch of herself Lola gave in ber cross-examination: Cross-ezamined —My name is Lola Montez, my family name was Maria Rosanna Gilbert @ Where were you born? A.—In the beautiful town of Limerick Q —How old are you? A.—Thirty-three &—When were you born’ A—Count, I cannot tell; I wasn’t present when I was born; [ have had two husbands, and am on the point of having a third; my first hus- band was Captain James. Q.—Were you married to Captain James? A.—The ring was put on my finger by a cler- gyman, but my spirit was never united to him Q.—What other husband have you had’ A.—Now wait a moment; I'd never have you. be sure; I was married to James near Dublin; 1 was a child of fifteen; he ran away with me; that was my first marriage; he ran away with another lady about a year after I was married; 1 was living in Mugeer, India, then; I lived there about seven years; from there | came to Bagland, [ think in 1842; [ wag married about the year@340; I don’t know how long I remain- ed in London after | returned, a few months; I was on the stage, and practicing under the in- struction of a Spaniard named Espa; I was lodging with an old Scotchman and his wife; my father was Adjutant Geueral of the Bengal army. Q—Were you living with any man at that time? A.—I never lived with any man since my husband left me; my husband charged me with an intrigue with a man named Captain Lenox, on shipboard, but it was a false accusa- tion made by him, because he was then living with Mrs. Captain Lomar, of the 2Ist Regi- ment; { went from London to Spain, and all over that country; I remained in Spain a few months, learning to dance; I was traveling Perfectly alone, as I travel now; there was a charming little giri named Dolopes in Spain, whose husband had deserted her. Q.—For you?” “a I never did any of that sort of ing. Q.—How many intrigues have you had ? 4A.—How many have you? ell, come lis- ten—none; I resided at the Court of Bavaria two years. Q —Who did you know there? A —Bverybody but yourself; I knew all, aboat several millions of persous; I knew.the King of Bavaria, Mr. Wittelsbacher, he was ealled—that was his family name. Q—Were you the mistress of the King? A.—(Rising) What (emphatically) No, Sir. You are a villain, Sir; I'll take my oath on that book, (the Bible,) which I read every night, I had no intrigues with the old man; I knew the King, and moulded the mind of the King to the love of freedom; he took me before the whole Court with his wife, and presented me as his best friend; [ was on the staze in it is easier to be a man’s mistress neer; I wasin Bavaria in 1847 and ; in 1849, the Revolution occurred, and liberty and I fled; the King and Queen sup- ported me while I was there; I was engaged in political business; you might call ure prime- miuister if you please. or, us the King said, I was the king; there was a man of straw there as prime-minister, true, but he was only a man of straw; the memoirs that have been written about me are lies; that man is trying to get my memoirs 5 (Mr. Jobson was writing :) 1 was living in Piccadilly, London, in 1849, when I saw Jubson; I had come from Switzer- land about two mouths before; [ waa in India when I was very young; I was about three months old wheu I sailed for India the first time. Q.—Did you call on Mr. Jobson first, before he called on you? Gini Ae no ; (laughing aloud,) eb, that is too funny! I was Countess of Lands- felt and not Mrs. Jamee. Q.—Didn't Mr. Jpbsou subseribe a guinea to revent you from ‘being taken to the watch ouse ? A.—He hadn't a guinea. Q—Did not he give you a guinea to keep you from taking to the streets fora rceerayog i Witness.—(Indignantly rising)—Aw I to insulted’ Gentlemen, will you not protect me’ ‘The referce quieted her. Reteree.—Mr. Schermerhorn should not have asked the question. Witnese.—Schermerhorn? [s that his name? Ob. ho! I shall have some questions to ask him. (She wrote down the name of plaintiff's counsel ) At this point, a little before 6 o'clock, the reference was adjourned. e ——_____ if The following touching account of “ Old Grimes’s Last *’ we are assured is entire- ly “ founded :"’ * After remaining some fifteen minutes, perhaps sixteen, in that placid, half- unconscious state, which is the ‘gently in- clined plane’ of dissolution, ‘that good old man’ slowly —_ hia filmy lids. With a fut- hope, that was still balf-despair, I the eleatric kindling of the old intelli- gence far down in the cold, vacuous depths of those beloved eyes, where once retributive lightming and healing benison, the lion and the lamb of bis nature, bad lain together. Suad- denly the lips moved: [ bent eagerly forward as the ghost of that voice, once so rotund and majestic, murmured brokenly : - What—kind— of—s—panic is this, which is—distars—ing the—eountry ’’ I could only shake my head in sorrowful incomprebension, for griet had be- reft me of voice e old eyes were irradiate once more; a palpitating fire seemed to pos- sess them, as half-rising, and with a victorious outed: ‘a tin-panic! ‘The jaw fell ; there was a gurgle in the throat; and — we ne ‘er shall see him more.’”” a Some interesting facts are stated in the journals of m ne in regard to the increase of nails and hair in man. From the statements made, it appears that the growth of the nails more rapid in children than adults, and slowest ip the aged. [t goes on more promptly in Sum- mer than in Winter, so that the same nail which is renewed inoue bundred and thirty-two days ia Winter, requires only teen io Sammer—a fact depending on the ‘vis vitalis,’’’ which seems to be proportioned to it The increase of nails of the vie hand is more | ide! rapid than for the left. tt differs, also, for th diferent fingers, and corresponding with the jength of the finger - being most rapid fur the middle finger, nearly equal for the two either side of this, slower for the little fingers, and slowest for the thumb. The growth ot the hair is well known to be much accelerated by fre- quenteutting. It forms more rapidly by da} than at night, and io hot seasons than in could. A Good Hit.—While Miss Her:n was play- ing “*Camille,’’ at Detroit, the audience and the actors were inuch disturbed by the barking and howling of a dog in the vicinity of the theatre, and this bowling became excessive during an effective scene; at las! mille,” in deelining an interview with a visitor, thus addressed her maid : “Tell the Count he need not wait. Iam not wetl, and cannot go out to-night; and stay —one moment. Find some one to hang that dog."’ The addendam, opr the Free Preas, was given in a lower tone of voice, but was dis- , tiaetly audible, and gave rise to a cheer which overcame even the gravity of the actress for the moment. voe hundred and six- | Fortoxa Up axp Dows.—The Boston Led- ger of Thursday, publishes the following : In 1787, a youth, then residing in owned a jack-knife, which he, being what trading and money-making disposition, sold for a gallon of West India rum. This he retailed, and with the proceeds purchased two lions, and eventually a barrel, which was followed in due time with a large stock. Ina word, he got rich, and became. the "Squire of the district through the possession and sale of the jack-knife, and an indomitable trading in- dastry. He died worth property in real estate and money valued at ‘0. 0. This was di- vided, by testament, among four children— three boys and agirl. Luck, which seemed to have been the guardian angel of the father, deserted the children ; for every folly and ex- travagance they could engage in seemed to occupy their exclusive attention and cultiva- tion. The daughter married unfortunately, and her eiarpy'd Was soon thrown away by her spendthrift of a husband. The ‘sons were no more fortunate; and two-of-them died of disspation and in almost poverty. The daugh- ter also died. The last of the family, for many years past, has lived on the kindness of those who knew him in his days of Prosperity, as Eee would not allow him to go to the poor ‘arm. A few days ago he died, suddenly and unattended, in a barn where he had laid him- selt down to take a drunken sleep. On his pockets being examined, all that was found in them was a small piece of string and a jack- Anife. So. the fortune that began with an im- plement of that kind left but its simple dupli- cate. We leave the moral to be f pa in whatever fashion it may suggest itself to the reader—simply stating that the story is a true one, and all the facts well known to many whom this relation will doubtless reach. ~ ‘aine, of @ some- Art at tux NATIonaL Caprrat.—The Washl ington correspondent of the New York Post says there is a purpose to make Washington the American metropolis of art. The Wash ington Art Association was organized some eighteen months since. Dr. Stone, the seulp- tor, is President, and it comprises amon the members most of the men oF wealth and dis- tinction’ in the city, and many lovers of art from all parts of the country. Its gallery of pictures has been on exhibition during the winter, and there has been a course of lectures onart. The funds of the socivty are rapidly augmenting, and it proposes to erect suitable buildings and establish a permanent gallery of pictures and statuary by American artists, which will increase by the annual. contribu- tions of our artists. It is hoped that the old hall of representatives will be converted into a gallery for the exhibition of works of art, where they can remain exposed to public eriti- cism for a certain period. By opening and glazing the whole of the lantern in the dome, there would be abundance of light, and no room could be better adapted for th a The society desire to stimulate the ition of artists by Srng te best pose opportunity for merit to make itself known. It wishes to remove all obstructions on the road to fame, and atthe same time it would cultivate and elevate the national taste for art. From its situation, its means, and the character of those who are endeavoring to carry out its purpose, it will contribute much towards making us an, art loving people, if we are ever to become one.) a ee Burr's Presaxce or Mixp.—Col. T. B. Thorpe furnishes the following reminiscence of the cg ap bistaerae Burr:” “ When in Louisville, Kentucky. some since. [had the pleasure, a pleasure wireh shall never forget, of meeting Judge Rowan, one of the most remarkable men of his day. In a conversation of an evening. the Judge, among other reminiscences of early times, alluded to the arrest of Aaron Burr, on his arrival i Louis lle, in charge of the United State: - thorities. Burr, for the time being, oceupied the principal room of the then fashionable ho- tel of the day, and was constantly surrounded by a crowd of visitors drawn together either by sympathy or euriosity. Among the persons Present were Judge Rowan and Mr. Clay. As night drew on, the crowd outside of the hotel. composed of the wild patriotic eons of the West, became violent in their denunciations of Burr. and so warm did this clamor become, that many persons thought that Burr would be seized by the people and summarily dealt with. In the midst of the excitement almost every person sereiylesh i about Burr, became more or less anxious for his safety, when Mr. Clay, then just in the opening of his brilliant career, with a pol teneas that healone could assume, stepped up to Mr. Burr, and said: ‘Sir, de- pend upon it, whatever may be the feeling out side, we, your friends present, will defend y Barr, hardly half t tatue of Mr. Clay, ii stuntly assumed an air of dignity that rivated that of -Harry of the West.’ “His brilliant eyes flashed fire, and stepping back, he replied : “1 have never in my life, sir, been placed un der any circumstances where I could not de fend myself?” i ’ Dawsina THe INranrs —An exciting scene occurred among the congregationalists at North Woburn, Massachusetts, a few days since. Alpheus 8. Nickerson, a recent graduate at Andorer Theological Seminary, made applica- tion to be admitted as an Evangelist, in con- nection with the Congregational’ Church and Society of that village. The examination of the candidate was generally satisfactory to the council, except upon a single subject. Being questioned as to the salvation of infants, he expressed his unqualified belief in the old doc- trine of foreordination, predestination, elcc- tion, and ‘infant damnation..’ He did not know preniel how the thing could be accom- plished consistently with other parts of his ereed, and with Divine justice and goodness, but yet his confidence in Divine justice and goodness satisfied him that it was possible that those innocents. who have no ney in their creation, and who had committed no sin, could be eternally damned. Kev. Messrs. Cady, of West Cambridge; Marvin, of Medford; Seward of Burlington, and Emerson objected to thi generally ‘‘obsolete’”’ doctrine. as a heresy not to be tolerated, and refused to proceed to the ordination of the candidate. The council dis- cussed the matter warmly until 7 o’elock in the evening, and then adjourned for eight weeka to reflect upon it, the audience having waited in the church from 10 o'clock, in expectation of the services. A Seuu.—Gorra Percua Pans.—A Yankee from the land of wooden nutmegs and split brooms, came to this place a few days since and sold two of our merchants alotof what he called Gutta Percha Pens, for $2.00 per gross, ma- king them believe, at bs) oir time, that he would supply them with as much wrappin; per az they. could use in their stores in the um gain, in shape of hand-bills recommending to the public his celebrated Gutta Pereha Pens, for which they should be the sole agents for this country.
