We tell the tale ns'twaa told to ns by our cor. respondent "Thomas Jefferson Olay Jenks," who nothing ex- tenuates nor sets aught down In malice. La Fayette, Indiana, waa the scene of operations.- He says:-''The monotony whloh pervades this thriving vUlage in tho way of public amusements, was vary unexpectedly broken by the announcement In large Elacards, >l)oat a weok ago, that we were to havo a grand concert y Qoltsoaalk and PatU. This Was enough to transport ns to an Imaglnary.poradiso—children rusbad home to tell their ma's— beaux hurried with "bated breath" to glad the souls of their sweethearts—and husbands, who had-not entirely forgotten "auld lang syne," left their slaughter houses and dlstUlenel to tell their wives to prepare for the gala night Of course, Ulaa LeUUa MoPhnn got on. opera glass, though her mother had to refer her to a young girl, who taught aonool, to discover which end she should look through. Ur. Henry Olay Olngerbroad— whose father left him a dozen yean' profit, on whiskey andpOrk —despatched by express for a suit of aable. In-bct, the whole village was In an uproar of delight having been fully advised that the comlntt entertainment was the thing Itself among the Im of New York. And yet what made It more tksolnatlsg than our former entertainments (which, by tbe way, bavebeen almost exoluslvely burnt cork of a low grade) waa the Inoreised price of adm(ssloo, and s division Id the hall, giving tho first ^mlllM an opportunity to pay double price fo^ reserved scats, which Would In a maimer separata them from the vulgar crowd, who would go there merdy to ape them, not knowing anything about the sublime sdenco of mualo—not having, in fact, eyes lo see nor ears to hear.

From olroua, nlg- show, or temperance leoturer, they never reeelved auoh marks of disrespect—It was too provoking—the ladlea' dander ^a%arouaed—the gents ditto. A committee of tho •ffirit yonng men" was at once depaled to expostulate -with the offenders Im- medlatdy, and requcet them to be a little more rospeotfnl on their next entrance. Imagine their astonishment when Ulss Oarlotta answered them In tbe following manner:—"I would not condescend to notice such an Ignorant and nnapproelaUve au- dience as this." I fear she knew not what shs said. Onhearlng this answer, some half dozen of the ladles fainted away, five of whom were the wives of very respectable gentlemen, who a few years baok had contracta on the railroads and canals running through this valley, amounting to one dollar per day.
