here, are not made Of more delicate
stuff, or more nicely strung, than the
nerves Of your Crescent City people
yet they are shocked occasionally by
the local Of the Crescent, and as we

and throb Of the great public heart
Of this city, we must complain OF the

Let us ask the gentleman civil ques-

AFFAIRS OF HoNoR.-Much passes
current in the papers under this head,
which should be denominated by some
other name. Il is no sufficient reason,
to call fight Of bulldogs. or chicken
cocks, an affair of honor, merely be-
cause they are pitted against one other
and fight. The question is what are
they fighting about p When this is
correctly answered, you have the full
measure Of honor contained in the az
fair Thus; bully Young, challenges,
bully Pat Morrissey, to meet him in
the rear of the /" Five Points," on
given day, with nothing but his under
shirt on, to fight; shall we call this an
affair Of honor" and prostitute terms ?
No. It is an affair of " Fifty dollars
a side It is as dishonorable to The
beastly part Of man, as it is disgraceful
to society,
Let US enquire into the camse Of
quarrel before giving dignity to every
bulldog encounter or mongeral howl
ing by calling It q an affair Of honor"

says:
About IL o'clock on Wednesday
night, when about three miles from
HiIlsbore, on the Alton and Ter-e
Haute road, the cars attached to q
freight train ran off the track and
twelve or thirteen of them were smash
ed to pieces by being thrown down
the embankment. The locomotive re-
NAMED stationary on the rails. Where
the cars were thrown off, the rails were
displaced and bent III varions shapes.
The accident was probably caused by
the heavy rains which bad fallen, and
the giving way of the embankmeut.---
Luckily, only one mana brakeman
was injured. On the arrival of the
passenger cars from st. Louis at the
scene of the accident, and those from
the north, they exchanged cars. and
each went on their way without any
very great detention.
