. From the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.) -John Hull Pennyillo, who passed through this city
a day or two einco from Plumas. County, Cal., on his’
“way to Esmeralda County, in this State, has in his
possession a curious relic of that strango and adyen
“turong sweman, Lola’ Montez.’’ Mr. Pennyillo is an
.acoom plished ;violihiat, ‘and’at, tho. timo when Lola
wae residing in Grass’ ‘Valley; California, was in tho
habit of, playing for hor in order that sho might prao
Uco some new dance of her own invention.
“Tho violinist had: a’ strong-passion for making col:
Jections of human hair,’ particularly tho long tresses !
of. women., He had soyeral times hinted to Lola his’
“preat desire to possess a tress of hor hair, but sho.ro”
fased to take theso hints, howover plainly made.
“At, this ‘timo; Lola: had in» her possession at, her
‘home in? Graes Valloy a young bear that sho was
training jor some PUrPORe, sho being at that timo
but about twenty-nino yearg of ago and stall full of
life and ambitions “972 f :
Qno day/when Penpvillo again hinted about tho,
tress, Lolasaid: ** Mr. Pennvillo, if you will go mto
that back yata, throw that bear to tho ground and
bold him one minute by my watoh, I will givo you a
eirand of my hair large enough for tho bow of your
violin!" : ;
“ Dono!” cried Pepnvillo, and he at.onco proceeded
to the yard for his tusslo with tho bear, Lola foliowing to timo him, 0.
Tho bear was a grizzly not yot old cnonugh to bo
very dangerous, and Pennvillo, proceeding as thouch
ay with tho animal, with very little trouble or
succeeded ia winning the much-coveted lock of
Tho tress was prom py surrendered, and Pennvillo long kept it among tho other specimens in his
collection; but when be heard ot Lola's death, somoShere in tho Stato of New York, in 1860 or 1861,
he remembered her words at tho time ho won tho
memento, ‘'l will give you a strand largo cnough for
tbe bow of your violin,” and ho then proceeded to
placo the bairin tho bandsomest bow he could procure, where it remains to this day.
“Will you play us something with tho bow, Mr.
Pennville?"! said wo, anxious to be ablo to say wo
pod heard even the smallest thing played with so
gtrange o relic of a now almost forgotten woman, and
trembling leat we should bo refased such gratification. * wes he ‘
“J seldom uso this bow in pra atl said Mr.
Pennville,; but on this occasion Iwill givo you a
ehort piece that was a favorito with Lola. In other
words, you shall hear a bit of music that was loved”
by Lola Montez played with her own hair,’
‘Yo our surpriso he then proceeded to ‘play a most
srournfal, tearful’ bit of Pome and, 93 bo concluded, ho said:,‘* That was not only a favorite picco
with Lola, but was also of hor own composition.”
Pennvillo is now quite‘ an old man} and does not
appear to bo overburdened with this world’s goods,

Mile. Charton a protty sociétaire of the ComédicFrangaise. Her lover was ono Dr. Gaillardot, elder
brother of Theodora Frédério Gaillardet, who in
1832 dramatized tho “our. do Neslo,” with
‘Alexander Dumas, with whom. he had a farlous ‘squabble and ~ lawsuit’ ‘concerning ©. the
authorship of tho piece, and then went to New York
where he founded the Courrier des Etas-Unis.’ Ono
fine day the pretty comedienne told her lover that
abe was on with a new lovo or desired to bo off with
the old. Gaillardet swore vengeance, obtained a
bottle of -sulphurio acid, and aot night when Mile.

never again able to appear on tho stago, but lived in
extreme poverty, partly supported on a small pension
from tho theatre, till a couploof yearsago, when
sho passed away in s wrotched tenementroom.
Gaillardet, after maimmg her, flod tho country
and went to Havana, whero he ‘practiced medicine
successfully. Ho was sentenced tor hig cowardly
