Stories about Her in Europe and Amcr-ica-Incidents of her Life in Munich The Last Scene of All-What oc casioned the Stroke vf Paralysis Melancholy Case of Ingratitude. '' Stories nbout Lola Montcz are plen ty. The true cause of her paralysis is given by the Philadelphia Press. Its seems that "when Lola went to Califor nia as an actress, she enp-arred an ajent, j a married man, wth two children, and seeing him unhappy in their absence. she presented Jam with surhcietit monev to bring them and their, mother on. I'Shortly sifter their arrival, the husband died, j Lola then adopted the widow and orphans educating the latter at Mis Yyillard's seminary at Troy. An of ficer in the United States navy fell in love with one of the these girls, ; and Lola, literally acting in loco parentis approved of his suit. During her last visit to England, the marriage took place, j Lola did not again encounter her protege (who accompanied her hus band to a distant State, where he was detailed for public duty,) until a recent period, w hen she met her walking down Broadway,' iu company with a lady of the highest ton. With her usual im pulse, Lola rushed to her young friend literally the child of her charily as to embrace. The young lady cooldly drew back and said 'Madam, I do not know you !' VXot know ine V I am Lola Lola Montez.' Madam.' she ex claimed, as she turned coldly away, 'I know you not, I never saw you before, and if you persist in speakiug to me I will call a policeman, and walked awav. Lola went home, 'More in sorrow than in anger,' and that same day had . the first attack of paralysis, which destroy-, ed her. Lola Montez was literally mur dered by ingratitude" The moments of Lola Montcz offered a singular contrast to her earlier career. For sonic tihie she had been very ill at Astoria , and professed the heartiest pen itence for the manner in which her life had been spent. ' About four weeks ago Rev. Dr. Hawks was requested to. call on her, and did so. He found her with her Bible open to the story of-the Mag dalen, and she expressed to her visitor her sincere anxiety in regard to her fu ture welfare. At the same time she was hopeful. 'I can forget my French, my German, my everything,' she said, 'but I cannot forget Christ.' , Before she died she purchased the little plot in Greenwood where she is now buried. " On her coffin was a plate with the. inscription : ,' Mrs. Eliza Gilrert, Died Jatiuaiy 17, 18G1. Aged 42 years. The name of Lola Montez, by which she was best known, was.assumed when she went on the staire. . The exploits of - Lola on the railroad cars in tins country have been widely circulated by the press. One time she pursu.k.ied the engineer to allow her to ride with him on the a,!! mm on iiiu riiuic. uuu i.: wi::t 1 1 , 1 I II II ne was looking eisewnere, L.oia su iucn- j tnosc wno were assemoiou wiinonx. 'v turned on a lull head of steam, and j Then, uncovering her bosom, she laugh away dashed the engine at a fearful ; ingly exclaimed that if thev really wish- speed, tb the great disxiay of the en gineer. Another time Lola in a car, when she pulled Out one of her favorite little cigars-a-iad coolly lighted it. The con ductor soon made his appearance : f : vMadafne," said he, blandly, "you cannot smoke here." . . Madame went on smoking without paying the least attention. "Madafine," repeated the conductor, a little. savagely, 'you can't smoke here' Lola looked up at him, gave a sweet smile, and asked . ' vXVh'ut do you say, sir ?" ' "I say you can't smoke here." "But you! see I can, though,"-replied Lola, sending out an : extra puff ami ! smiling at the absurdity of the coiiduc- tor's theorie The peculiar circumstances in which Lola Montei was placed, say a Uio Y. Post, must be considered in viewing her carter. She was nn illcgtimatc child, and early deserted by bcr mother. She Lad talents aud decided to make use of them to get on in the world. She was a Becky Sharp on a grand scale only not quite as heartless as that imaginary character. Her most execn tric actions were speedily reported, but her many acts of generousity, especially to poor literary people and there are several of thifclass in New York who can bear testimony to this were known only to the recipients of her careless bounty. FROM THE N. V. HERALD. Lola's public career dates from the time when she ran away to India with CapL James. They separated and she commenced a Bohemian life in London. There she met many young men, and it is to be supposed intrigued with them. She had plenty of animal spirits and pluck, talked well and could dance a little. It is stated that she made her debut in this manner. A party of men were discussinz the merits of certain queens of the ballet, when one declared that he could produce a dancer who had never been on the stage, but who could be qualified as a premiere dameuse in ten days. A wager was laid on the event, and in a few days the . London public was informed that the new Span ish dancer, Lola Montez, had beeu engaged at her Majesty's theatre. This was 'Betty James,' as the omnibus box declared, when she came upon the stage. This did not prevent her from getting engagements iu Paris and other cities of the Continent. Some of the papers revive an old story about her kicking one of the buskins into the par terre at the Grand Opera. It is entire ly untrue. As an artist she was good tor nothing. In Paris she formed a connection with Dujarreir, one of the editors ot La Prcssc. lie fought a duel with one Beauvallon, a Creole of San Domingo, who had spoken dispectfully of Lola Montez. Dujarncr fell, and Lola had the nerve to appear at las funeral in full morning. At this time Lola gave tea parties in Paris, and a gentleman who went to one of them told us that the male guests were men who had seceded from their wives, and the females all women who had separat ed from their husbands. Lola left Paris for Munich some time after Dujarrier's death. Her Bavarian ad ventures are weu known, inc Kmjc cave tier a very handsome house, and her estate here may be understood by the subjoin ed cxtnict from a letter written by a gentleman who visited Munich in 1847: "Madamoisellc Lola Montcz, writes a gentleman from Munich, is at the heijht ot tavor as well as fortune. Thus you per ceive the dramatic influences has lost none of its prestige, but on the contra ry, daily acquires new powers. Made moiselle Lola Montez inhabits, in the city of Munich, a magnificent hotel, to which an extensive garden is attached. But, notwithstanding this, the residence not being rtlecmcd by her sufficiently capacious, she lias had two smaller houses or wings built, principally of white marble, which completes an cs tablishment that is wholy her own. The luxurious display in this palace ex ceeds anything ot tbe kind ever before known ; the King himself has been amazed at it, and expressed deep won der, even although, while building, lie had largely superintended it by his or ders and instructions. Even the palace itself caunot compare with it in elegance and richness. In .the saloon of the favorite artist, richly gilded in even- part, a fountain of the samecostlv met al, and of an original shape, has been placed, w hich requires but a touch of the hand to send forth its waters and diffuse a delicious freshness through room. In the same apartment is a stair case of crystal, the steps of which are so ingeniously constructed as to be elastic and, therefore, less fatiguing of assent to the little feet for which thty arc intended and the windows on those sides of the saloon which are exposed to projectiles, are furnished with iron jalousies, which fall down whenever anything like violence or tumult is ap prehended. A few days tir.Ci a ltrge crowu couecicu rouna Jiei residence when Lola Montez fearlessly presented herself at the window, and holding up a full glass of champagne, prepared to drink to the health ot the crowd. At that moment a stone was thrown and fell at her feet.

Mademoiselle Montcz having been informed that he had only incur red displeasure in conseque nco f her decision in imposing order oa the riot ers, entreated his pardon and obtained it ; but it chanced that the U!.f'rt:.nHte man died iu the liic.liitinie. This how ever, did not deprive her f the credit of having interceded for him, and not even her enemies presumed to attril ute his death in any way to her. One circumstance of a singular character !ia occurred. M.idem-i-elle Moi.tcz felt herself so indisposed that sdic herself was compelled to have leco'urscto med icine. A physician was sent for, and when it Was prepared, she, unlike Alex ander the Great, desired Lim to partake of it himself. The physician, not a little surpri.-cd at the singular caprice for such only he deemed it which ac tuated Lola, complied with her re quest, and swallowed nearly the whole of the draught Before narrating the adven ture of an officer who considerately sought to remove her from the window on the occasion already alluded to w Vcti the stone fi il t her fret, we wrre.de- sirous that her condu- t toward the f- ficer whose pardon she obtained should be known. The one balances her vi ac hy towafds the other, whose good, in tention she repaid with a smart slap of the hand upon his inoustachcd face. The officer, of course, took it all iu"gxd hnmor, aud the offending party did her utmost to make atonement, bv strongly recommending him to the favor of his Majesty. A beautiful property, situated not far from the royal residence, has been bestowed on Mademoiselle Lola Montcz, independently of jewels and cost I j or nament. Her Majesty the L'iiipress of Austria, sister of the King of Bavaria, has offered a million of iiKncv, provi ded she consent to leave the Kingdom, but Mademoiselle refu-ed, expres-ing indignation and surprise that mHi in terested sentiments should be attributed to her. We conclude these details which we derived from an undoubted source, by rc.crnng to the perna-Moti which Ut Maje-ty of Bva.u has given that Lol.l Montez bn admitted twice a week to the apartment of her royal husband, who is confined by in disposition. Can anything lo fwtiud more surprising in the Arabian Nights' Entertainments l Lola always claimed that tlie Jevjits drove her out of Munich, a i l never forgave them for it. " .

L"I.i wa now 31 years old, a.iJ began to think se riously of settling herself iu life, so she took up with Hcald for his income. Miss llcald, however, ascertained t?tt James, Lola's first husband, was still alive, that she had never been divorced and that the marriage with Heald was illegal. After a Continental tour, the happy pair separated, llc:;ld subse quently died. Lola again turned up m Pans a!,d led her old life. She resolved to visit the United States, and cultivated the acquaintance of prominent Americans in Paris. Among others the knew Peter Parley Goodrich, then United States Consul, and before she came over gave an exhibition of her teqsi chorcan qualities at a party arranged by the old gentleman. E. P. Willis a brother of N. P. Willis, brought Lola to this country, and acted as her agent. She made her d-.hut at the .Broadway Theatre, and danced to a cjrowded house, nearly all men. Everybody was disappointed in her dancing and apear ancc. Fast living and incessant smo king had made ssd inroa ls r.pjin her beauty. Her c-yc, which was very large and wondrously beautiful, retain ed its old lustre, but tho was thin, and quite unequal to the labor of Ajircmire danscuse. The Broadway people had engaged LVa for f-'xx moths we UTieve, 1 and she vwted Loston, l'htl'lelpla.i and other cities, under the management of Caleb Marshall. Willis had a quar rel with her, and he was replaced by a Greek, whose name has escaped us Then came tlie celebrated Jo. Scovill, who was awfully bullied by the Coun tess, and soon resigned his post. When Lola was not quarrelling with the man ager (that was pretty nearly all the time) she-was pitchii gnto her agents v hom she changed very frequently.
