STREET LIFE IN New YorK.-W-e clip the
following from the Express
"Two bouncing girls, named Adelia Ander-
son, living at No. 5 Thompson street, and
Agnes Near, Of 23l Church street, both claim
ing to be pugists of the IIyer and Morrissey
order, recently met in Broadway, opposite
Thompson't saloon. An angry dispute soon
arose between them, and after a brief war of
words, they squared off for fight, according
to the rules governing the manly art of self
defence Agnes proved to be more than
ma tch for -Jler tagonst, whom she levelled to
the walk the third round, by a heavy tap
Oh the nasal organ with her left flippcr. Adela
was soon upon her feet again, and with the
tfood flowing profusely down her face and
. l-laady the walk, enttea yored to
deal Agnes blow in the region of the peppers
but failing in that she pulled out a knife and
stabbed her in the lip and head in a very seri
GUS manner. Agnes fell to the walk, and was
soon so weak from the loss of blood as to be
unable to stand Her friends procured a car
rage, in which she was placed and conveyed to
her residence. During the excitement which
followed Adela escaped. She, however, was
arrested subsequently by officer Lord of the
lower police court, and held to bail in the sum
of $500 by Justice Welsh to answer a charge
of felOniOuS assault"

And beams may brighten Our latter days
Which the morning never met
But, oh, the changes we have seen
In the far and winding wayl
The graves in our path that have grown green.
And the locks that have grown gray

The sable or the gold;

And, friends, we are growing oidl
