One Of the chief arguments that has been

while the heat mittei from the ferrugin-

The Courier and Enquirer thus sketches
Its history:
Oar Crystal Palace has vanished like
abe bascless fabric Of dream. A more
complete failure than it has been from
trst to last cannot be found In the cat
aiosue OF speculative undertakings. Every
dollar of the SIR hundred tlousand invested
an Its construction and fittings has been
lost. Before the first year of its existence
hal expired, the finances oftle concern be-
came almost hopelessly involved A des-
peratc attempt was made to extrcatc it
from Its difficulties, and p Il. Barnum
took Its prime management, but to no pur-
pose a spssmodic show of life was soon
followed By utter hclplessness, and its
transfer as dead concern to the hands Of
a Receiver.

A few nights since two. of our down<towMi
friends were taking moonlight ramble ID
company with number of their fair friends
and whom crossing the gutter at the corner 81
Clonet and Greatmen streets, they were star
tied by terrible fioundering beneath theil
feet, which left the light dresses of the laSlie
in a most woful plight. Turning to see what
could possibly be the matter, one ofthe young
gents received stroke from an alligator
tail, which tore of the tail of his coat, tdadd
bad breach in his Marseilles pants, and bldd
bruises OH his hip. Thereupon war to the
knife was declared against the uDgallant sau9
rian; and, notwithstanding tho alarm of the
ladies, both gents converted themselves into
vigilance committee, and pitched into theii
amphibious assailant with clubs, crowbars, and
all sorts of weapons which tue time and place
afforded, The fight was lorg and desperate
but finally victory perched on the banner o
our two young friends, and the captured rep
tile, stretching himself TO die, marked out tn,
measure of an unmade grave some seven fee
in length. What is most wonderful in the
occurrence is the fact that an alligator of sucl
respectable dimensions should have so far for
gotten himself as to wander ungGarded withii
