reallVI IL en on onda by the .q f qm 's.iepa rie. dt ~ 3enilks-on1 but the whole Poput. nale, within five OiteV-Hnuse, ete alive with excitemen The North wind was cuttingas a note-sbavr, but in spite of that:anthiiewsupposed scarcity of coin the "pavillion'? was thionged., A more motley assemblage.I never saw-the animals were nothing in comparison and in-point of decorum, the spectators might have taken lessons from the Grizzly'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. Schaffor, failed to subdue the rampant animals outside the cages. The ilephant was the great point of attraction as usual. Many were the remarks elicited by its immense size and docility. "I want his hide 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. "Gooddess gracious!" ejaculated a sallow girl, with a dirty blue ribbon around a dirty yellow neck, "was it bprned with that long snake thing stuck to its face?" "It's ot 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 (hic) of Ameriky. It came all the way from (hic) Ireland.' "Give us your hand, my friend," ex claimed old Tom Martin, with an iron ica 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 the' is but a heifer,as ye may say. What would ye say, if ye could see aginiwine grown up Airish Bull? Och!' 'Satis- Jam - statis!' soliloquised a corpulent lawyer, us 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 boarse when lie hollered, awhile ago.' "Whar did he come from, Jim?' ask ed one of the crowd. "From Ireland, too, be Jasus,' said old Tom, the Irishman, taking the word out of Jim's mouthi Didn't he McGaff. ey?' "I judge (hic) hc (hic) did,' said Mack. "I'll take my corpra'l of it,' return ed Martin; "the groves of blarney1 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 atuinals. "That takes Dilly's horns clean smjooth oil' to the skull-.nowv don't it?' said T1om Hussey. "It's the fust'time I ever seed 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 Jim McGaffey, "it's a real woman, but she's got gr-eat sperrets. 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?" "Airish, to be sure!' "Well aint the Irish human?' "Devil the bit of it.l' responded old mn, "the're all subjects of the Queen Ar.7eat Rritain!' "That's (hie) a fact,' said Jim Mc Gaffey; and the point was settled. Mrs. Schaflfer shook her whip at the tiger, which dashed by her, and crouch odn a crner of the cage, growling Tike care, she-bar-logs, the ole - y's raftlin his chain--as my old wo.

A COLORED DUEL.-A uel between two colored gemmon-!-a regular built affair-c6nducted a'ccording t the most strict'and' punctilious provisios" of the code of honor, came off last'week ;The fight took place- ith'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 lub by de oder, and dat him hona must bab satis faction.' 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 of the seconds noticed, that owing to their positions, the sunbeams set his principal to winking and rolling his eyes. This was sufficient ground for interfer ing, and he calls out to the other second with "I say, I puts my weto on dat po. sishun--it's agin de rules ob all de codes ob hona dat I see. * De traction of de sun shines rader too sewero, makes my principal roll him eyes altogedder too much." "Wy, wy, look here, didn't we chuck up a dollar for de choice obground, and did't I git him myself?' "Yes, I knows you did; but fair play's ajube, and I'se no notion ab see in' my friend composed upon and lose all do vantage.' "Well, I'se no notion as yOU is, and t I 'sists on settlin' do matter just as we is-and-' At this juncture a friendly cloud set- 1 tled the matter at once, by stepping in between the sun and the belligerents.: The first two causes took their posi tion, and all the little preliminaries be ing settled, each one took his pistol rea dy cooked from his second. Both man- ] ifested a terrible degree of spunk, al though a sort of blueish paleness spread itself over their black cheeks. The second who was to give out the a fatal order which might send them out of this world, now took his ground. Raising his voice, he began: - "Gemmen, your time am cum. Bloth signified their assent.t "Is you ready? Fiah! one-two three.' Bang, pop wvent both pistol at one one ball raising the dust in the midd a of the road, while the other took I' "slandtendicular' course among the ~ bystanders, fortunately without hitting any one. It was now time to interpose, and r one of the seconds set himself about it.t After a little conversation, the challen god darkey stepped forwai-d and saidC to his antagonist "Nigga, is you satisfied?' "Ilis.' "So is I, and Tee glad to get off so.C Next tinme dey catches dis child out on c such a foolish exhibition as die, dey will fotch me, dat dey will do, for eartain.' "Demi's my sentiments'edzactly," re torted the other. "When your onmor tal instrument of def went ofl. I de clare I thought I was a gon child; but I'see so happy-gosh, let's shake hands and go back to our abocations.' In five inutes time all hands-ene. mies, friends, black, white, and all wvere on thc road home to work perfec tly satisfied with the sport of the morn ing.-N. 0. Pic. MRs. PARTINUTON's LAsT.-"My dear aunt,' said a nephe w of the old lady to heor the other dlay, "my Sally has a baby; and such a baby the world never before; it is the baby, and no mistake.' "WYell, well," said the 01(1 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, hehi And 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 "W hy, why, cut teeth ob course," re plied the other.
