the military, which must have been known

circumstance of the lotus flower. A man
came with a lotus flower aud gave it to the

baud to hand in the regiment, and every !
raau wlib took it looked ut it anil passed it i

to 1)i(n. who had eyed tho Frenchman ra
titer insolently on liis entrance, snatched
the gU?a froin the table and drank it off.
"I have not the honoi of ypur ncquftin

at the Tamiiiiuity.
"Nor I ofyoufe,'' retorted the ether.
"Von are seeking a otmriol wrfth iuo,

"I should he sorry to leave yon. in dOubl

The Creole broke into taunting laughter,
and when the second glass was brought,
stepped up and seized it. diank pail ot the
contents, and threw the remainder away.
I'he Frenchman would have rushed upon
hint, but was held hack by the bystanders.
"Hold, sir!' they cried, "or you are lost! H
lie does not kill you on the spot, he will in
the duel, (or lie is the most skilful due'list
in Louisiana. With pistol, or rifle, or with

"What yon tell me," replied the Frenchman,
"convince* me the mote that he ought

lie then drew near tho'man who had insulted

not disposed to take offence. You have

The hoy brought it, trembling as if anticipating
n CHtastroph'e. Scarcely bad lie j
placed il on the table, when iho bully again
seized it, and tossed otF tlio contents. At
the same instant, like a tiger on his prey,
the Frenchman thicw himself on his enemy,
and assailed him in the face, luea-t,
and side, with a tempo.-t of blow s and kicks.
The bully, who had not time to recover:
himself, was soon stretched on the lloor, and
|Kimmelled still more unmercifully till bleeding
and cjuile insensible. The victor then
quietly drew forth his.pocket book, took
out a card, and pinned il to the vest of his
prostiatc foe. lie then said to the spectators
of the alltav:
' If there is present any friend of this individual,
1 would inform him that ho may
find mo at my lodgings overy morning
ftoiu eight to eleven. 13oy, another glass
of heer!' I
This time he took the class, And drank
it oil composedly. Then paying for the,
four glasses, he turned and left the place,
amid the wonder of all iho company.
As lltoy liftod the vanquished bully, it
whs found (bat two ol his ribs weto broken,
and one oi his eyes was seiiously damaged.
The card horo tho inscription: "Lucian
l'etit, Fencing Master, (rum Paris?
will give instruction in fencing, boxing, and
in the various methods of fighting. Terms

Some six weeks after this sccuo the door
of M. Petit'* apartment was flung open one
morning, and a man strode in, without an
uouncement.
"Djjtm know me?" he cried, in n voice
choked with tugo.
Perfectly," responded tho fencing master.
"What is your wish?"
"To kill you," thundered the bully, who
hud just recovered fiom his wounds, of
which, however, ho Lore the truces. "I know
I was lit si in the quarrrol; on that account
I give you the choice of weapons, lint
tualce haste, for you or I must be u corpse
before sunset."
"Let us rather talk the matter over cool
ly," replied the Frenchman. "I have no
more desire today to kill yon, than to beat
you the other day. liul if you are bent
on picking a quarrel, you will tind Ine
ready."
"Wretched boaster, we shall seel I have
killed thirty four men alreajy in duels, and
you mo much mistaken if you think to
make mo afraid of you!"
Tlieio was no help, and the combatants
proceeded to fight out their quarrel. Petit
deferring to the bully, who chose the sword,
in the u--o of w hich lie was very expert. He j
received a wound in the arm, and the h ating
master proposed an adjustment; but
the Lheolit insisted that thy encounter
should bo fatal to one or tlio other. It, was
not long before ho fell mortally wounded.
The community was dcliveied frbm a nuisance,

as a' professor of the science of battle,
that pupils emtio to liiui f?Otn every quarter.

A Cwuuu*'Pitstje cur Romance?The
New Orleans eschango papers are full Of a
singular piece of tomaoce that is now oi>
the*apis in ibat city. 'Pbe -particulars ere
aa follows: "A
young nriltioer girl, witfr wbo%e
chi-ims a young Spaniard had become emitten,
was presented by liim witli a ticket in
the Uavuna Lottery, on the condition that
if it drew a prizo they should sbaro the
money and gel married. The girl smiliiigly
couseuted to the arrangement, ami the
amorous Spaniard left.
The next arrival from Havana After that
brought the drawing of the lottery, and
what was the nitoiri-diluent and delight of
the pretty milliner and her beau to find
that the thiee eighths, held between them,,
were of the number which drew the capital
prize, and poured at their feet, an if by
magic, the pleasing little pinch of $18,750
(l?ks the discount in cashing!) The young
man lo?t no time in coining to ntt understanding
with his sweetheart. Ho held
her iojter bargain; she held to it also; and in
an ecstacy of happiness the bveewt about
making preparations fur the maniage.
A lino house on Bienville street?whether
pttrclm--ed or rented, we did not loam ?
was procured, and fitted up sumptuously
for tho coining nuptials and the honeymoon
which was to follow. Tho brido (that
was to have been) made a lavish use of the
money placed at hor command; provided
herself with a wardrobe rich enough for a
queen, and made other preparations for the
coining event; whilst the bridegroom, (that
was to have been.) in his ecstacv, presented
her with a case of jewelry worth $020.
Everything being ready on his part, he
called upon his intended to see how she was
getting along. She received him coldly,
avoided conversation about the wedding,
and filially gave hiin to understand, in a
manner which lie could not misunderstand,
that she had changed her mind, and would
not marry him, notwithstanding Hauie Fortune's
command, and the complicated slate
of the case between tliem in regard to the
money, jewel*, etc. f^lio itittl undergone
one of those rever*os of feeling which are mj
common in sudden accessions to fortune,
find there was no u-o in the Spaniard talking
to her about marriage.
The discarded lover did not shoot of
down hiiuseif, but went straightway and
entcicd legal proceeding* against her. lie
was making hi* propaialioiis ? i? Saturday
to institute a suit of law against the faith

gentleman, at a Northern hotel, perceiving
that the dining room servant, a negro, was

and ato of doubtful utility. This is
a very short sighted view of the influence
of railroads upon the farming interests, lly ?
