Alab ho~ ~ reall d T0ny o as agreea r en on M a, by the advent of a Menagerie. Not e juvenils on;ly but the whole poputatior, male andfmale, within five mileb-f-thoQoitM House, were alive with exgitement nThe North wind was cutting as a. nctu-uliaver, but in spite of that and.the supposed scarcity of coin the "pauilldo' was thronged.. A more motley assemblage I never saw-the animals.weeo nothing in comparison and in point of decorum, the spectators niight have taken lessons from the Grizsly Bear. It was the only public assembly that I ever heard of, in this country, which the presence of ladies did not control into propriety of speech and manner. Even the professional beast tamers themselves, Mr. and Mrs. Schaffer, failed to subdue the rampant animals outside the cages. The elephant was the great point of attraction as usual. Many were the remarks elicited by its immense size and docility. "I want his bido and frame for a corn crib," said a fellow from Pan-Handle Beat. "Save me his cars for skearts to my old wirgin saddle," remarked another. "Goodniess gracious!" ejaculated a sallow girl, with a dirty blue ribbon around a dirty yellow neck, "was it borned with that long 8snake thing stuck to itsaface?" "It's got a most the least har to as much hide, that I every seed," quoth Jerry Brumbelow. "Whar do they raise 'em?" asked some honest after knowledge. "Not here-not here in this (hic) country," replied Jim McGaffey, with a knowing, would-be-sober, shake of the head. "Whar then?" "That animal," said Jim, who was very drunk, "that animal wasn't raised in the island (hie) of Ameriky. It came all the way from (hic) Ireland.' "Give us your hand, my friend," ex claimed old Tom Martin, with an iron icil air, "give us your hand for the thrue word yo're tellin' the boys. Don't ye see the craturs fut? look at his fut! Sure 'twas made for the bogs of the ould counthry! This thing tho' is but a heifer, as ye may say. What would ye say, if ye could see aginiwine grown up Airish Bull? Och! CfSatia jam - etatie!' soliloquised a corpulent lawyer, as he walked up; unconsciously latinizing the spirit of Tom Haines' remark on a similar occa sion, made to Tom Jeffreys. The group adjourned to the vicinity of the Lion's cage. "Why didn't they shurr that crit ter's foreparts, as well as his hind ones?'] asked some one. "You see,' said his keeper, a man wiih huge whiskers, and green blanket: coat, "he's got a breast complaint, and we were afraid of increasing his cold.' "Well, be granny, I did notice he was Aoar-se when he hollered, awhile ago.' "Whar did he come from, Jim?' ask-1 - ed one of the crowd. "From Ireland, too, be Jasus,' said old Tom, the Irishman, taking the word out of Jim's mouth., Didn't he Me Gaff. ey?' "I judge (hic) he (hic) did,' said Mack. "I'll take my corpra'l of it,' return ed Martin; "thse groVes of blarey is full ov 'em!' Presently the crowd was ordered back, and Mr. and Mrs. Schaffer enter tered the cage with the lion, tiger and other animals. "That takes Billy's horns clean smooth off to the skull-..nowv don't it?' said Tom Hlussey. "It's the fust time I ever seedl the likes, and I'm sixty-five come fall!' re marked an old grey headed man. "Is it a rail wvoman in thar?' asked a skeptical dirt cater. ' Why you see," said JimD McGaffey, "it's a real woman, but she's got grea, serrets. Some people though,) (hic) think these show people (hic) aint reg ular human, nohow." "No more, and they aint,' said old Tom. "What are they then?" "Airishl, to be sure!' "Well aint the Irish human?' "Devil the bit of it.!' responded old . mqn "the're all subjects of thec Queen Geat llritain/' "That's (hic) a fact,' said Jim Mc Gaff'ey; and the point was settled. .Mrs. Sehaffer shook her whip at the tigor, which dashed by her, and crouch 4ed in a corner of the cage, growling "ake care, she-bar-legs, the ole bys-rattlin his chain-as my 01(1 we iiutells Dick when he cries,' said s .,y, John," observed a half-worn Stmaslouched hat, "I aint no that woman showin' off her ra butif Betsey was to--" goat erm orieows can, get twit suoh.notiopas that'" -'twas the blessed Elizabeth heself -"'aUdoomd' and- tote -Jake,;i er they've beeu ocroughin' ,and yun-in' over the poor claild all day, :aj4d you a ;awm thar!-and l .4 ut you know not whot ItA only the Lord's mercy the eephant didn't tromp on him and siaish6 deth Conie along?' The hen-pocked meekly obeyed; took 3acob in his paternal arms; and-I ceased to take notes. A COLORED DUEL.-A diel between two colored gemmen-a regular built affair-conducted aicording t the most strict and punctilious provisioins' of the code of honor' came of last week. kThe fight took place with pistols of the most improved fashions, at sunrise, ;on a small branch of the Metairie road. We do not know what the origin of the diffi culty was, except that one of the par ties, to use the phrase of one- of 'the spectators, "was crossed in lab by de oder, and dat him hona must bab satis raction.' We have learned from one who was present at the combat, the particulars as they transpired. They are substan tially as follows: After having'taken their stands, one f the seconds noticed, that owing to their positions, the sunbeams set his principal to winking and rolling his eyes. 'his was suffigient ground for interfer ing, and he calls out to the other second with "I say, I puts my weto on dat po lishun-it's agin de rules ob all do codes >b hona dat I see. De traction of de nin shines rader too sewere, makes my principal roll him eyes altogedder too much." "Wy, wy, look here, didn't we chuck lp a dollar for de choice obground, and lid't I git him myself?' "Yes, I knows you did; but fair )lay's ajube, and I'so no notion ob see n' my friend composed upon and lse dll do vantage.' "Well, I'se no notion as you is, and 'sists on settlin' do matter just as we s-and-' At this juncture a friendly cloud set led the matter at once, by stepping in >etween the sun and the belligerents. The first two causes took their posi ion, and all the little preliminaries be ng settled, each one took his pistol rea ly cocked from his second. Both man fested a terrible degree of spunk, al hough a sort of blueish paleness spread tself over their black cheeks. The second who was to give out the 'atal order which might send thorn out >f this world, now took his ground. ilaising his voice, lie began: "Gemmen, your time am cum. Both signified their assent. "Is you ready? Fiah! one-twoe hree.' Bang, pop went both pistol at one, >no ball raising the dust in the midd if the road, while the other took 'slandtendicular' course among the ystanders, fortunately without hitting mny one. It was now time to interpose, and >ne of the seconds set himself about it. ifter a little conversation, the challen ;ed darkey stepped forwai-d and said o his antagonist "Nigga, is you satisfied?' "I is.' "So is I, and I'so glad to get off so RIext tinge dey catches dis child out on mehl a foolish exhibition as dis, doy will oetch me, dat dey will do, for sartain." "Dem's my sentiments edzactly," re ortcd the other. "When your onmor al instrument of def went off. I dle ~lare I thought I was a gon child; but ['see so happy-gosh, let's shake hands mtd go back to our abocations.' In five minutes time all hands-ene. fnies, friends, black, white, and all were on the road home to work perfec tly satisfied with the sport of the morn ing.-N. 0. Pic. Mlts. PARTINGTON's LAsT.--"My dear aunt,' said a nephe w of the old lady to her the other day, "my Sally has a baby; and such a baby the world never before; it is the baby, and no mistake.' "WVell, wvell," saidl the old lady, "young folks should be monstrous thankful for such favors; but what did you say was the name of it?' Why, Susan Parting ton, to be sure, after her dear aunty.' "Well, well, it is mighty gratifying to have such pretty namesakes; after her dear aunty, heh! Ad is it a boy, or a girl?' asked the good old soul, with all the complacency for which she is re markable. Tobacco dust, (fine snuff,) is said to protects plants from destructive insects. "I say Jim, what mechanical work did you first do?" said one darky to another'. "Why, why, cut teeth ob course,'" re piied the other C0othing and Ot-Fitti?.
