THE PRINTER.

The night grows late, the streets are hushed
tho moon-beams leck the deserted pave
ment-and sleep s'rews its slumberous poppies
over the inhabitants of the silent city. All arc
at rest save the printer, who is busy at hi.
case.
Dreams lovely as winged cherubs. hover
abont the reposo of man maiden, visions as first
lilies and beautiful as the matron and the child
but to tho printer all is reality, toll and
weariness.
How nimbly and cheerfuly does he adjust
tho faliful types. as if no took mo note of time
las II the duties that are wearing out his life
were mnre diversion than laborious avoca-
ton. But amid their monotonous DISCHARGE.
believe us, the printer thinks of horse and
sweet rest and sighs within himself for the ct

yet thereis is no repcse for him, though the night
tramps on, and tho jocund dawn will soon ap-

Why do his motions grow less rapid?-why

ical way? Whence is tho smile that linrers
at his lip, like tho first sun-b beam at the gates

his ear, and reaching his very heart
1t is but moment--it is only revery--it

A savage fight ensucd, in which firearms and

Elephants in the riot were badly wounded before
It could be queled by the police. On the fol.
lowing day one of the wounded died, and much
excitement followed in consequences
The excitement continued on tho increase
throughout Monday. and as night set in the ri
ot was renewed with greater violence-each
party apparently being prepared for it. Tho
ncws spead rapidly through the city. and il was
reported that several had been killed. but this
report fortunately proved to be- PREMATURE -
Pistols and guns wore fired into tho crowds
and many of the rioters received serious iniu-
ries. The police again succeeded in making
several arrests and restoring order.
The rioters again assembled on Tuesday eve
ming. when tho struggle was removed with re-
donbod ferocity. Two of tho rioters wore killed
on the ground, and quite number of them
were carried off--some of them shockingly
wounded.
The riotous fever continued to increase dur

The Mayor ordered out the National Guards
and the entire police force.
This had tho effect of ntimia'ing tho riot
ers aud up TO tho time of sondng this dispatch
no further outbreak had takon place.
Tho Military however, arc still held under
