rants of the Third District Recorders Court, when
Snzeneau was king and now he is in the same old /
place, in the shadow of the old throne this time
occupied by Web Long. But to our item. For some
time previous to Tuesday, friend MaillouS had been
spotted by his propous fates as lingering loiterer
about the Court Of Love. The fates having commu
nicated this fact to Recorder Cupid that potent
magistrate issued bis warran-a pair of bright eyes
for the arrest aud arraignment of the offender. On
Tuesday night, Mr.. Malloux was arraigned. The
case was reduced to an issue between the accused
and the accusing bright eyes. Judge Hymen being
present, volunteered to officate dmcus curie be-
between the parties and the result of the whole mat
ter was that both parties were put under the holy
bonds of matrimony for the rest of their natural lives
To drop our metaphor, we hereby tender our old
friend and his bride good wishes than we know
how to express.
DEATH IN = BATH HoUsE.-Wm. F. Dickerson, a
native Of Maryland, 81 years of age found dead
in Roders bathhouse in the lake, at the end of the
new canal, on Tuesday morning. He had probably
died there during the previous night. The Coroner
Of Jefferson held an inquest on the body, and re-
turned verdict of death by bilious fever and ex-
posure.
STABBIEG AFFAIR N ALGIERs,-At about half
past o'clock, yesterday afternoon James I. Ander-
Esn rF+b +ba Grrf1 1F e. Md nF tIta
Crescent Dry Dock Company. in Algers, was stabbed
by DR. Mahoney six times with sword cane.
The particulars Of the case, as we have learned
them are, that Mr. Anderson in accordance with the
custom of our friends Of the Right Bank had called
upon a friend who was sick Of the yellow fever
taking him some ice and other comforts. Whilst
there, DR.. Mah9ney who was the attending physician
entered the sick room and charged Mr. A. with in
terferng with his patient. This charge Mr.. Ander
son denied. The Doctor thereupon called him a
liar and addressed other aud far more insulting ep-
thets to him upon which Mr.. Anderson seized a
chair and aimed blow at him, but missed him. The
Doctor then drew his cane sword and charged, and
before quitting, inflicted six wounds upon Mr.. Ander-
SON in different parts Of his body; the worst being
deep stab in the left side, and the next worst stab
in the left breast One stab was through the upper
part of the left arm, and another in the right hand.
The Doctor Immediately fled, and escaped over to
the city in skin, The affair created the greatest
excitement in Algiers, and had the Doctor been
caught at the time, the probabilities are that he
would have experienced rather rough treatment. Mr.
Anderson was conveyed TO his residence, and though
not pronounced mortally wounded, his wounds were
judged to be very dangerous.
Another report OF the afflir which we heard, Wa:
that in his abuse of Anderson, Mahoney brought W
an old political difference stating that he had for two
years been waiting for chance to get at Anderson
e and another man whom he named, and that now the
time had arrived for his taking satisfaction out o.
Anderson. The Algiers police were in the city last
night, on the lookout for Mahoney; but there wert
small chances of their catching him.
ONE OF THE FANc1Es.-We know youth dowr
town who is amusing himself after an original fash
i. ion. He belongs in billiard saloon and the hare
times hot weather, Sickness etc, having put quie
tus upon billiards, he lately found himself with moth
ing to do. For pastirne he went into neighborinE
undertakers shop. where there was an almost phere o
, business, and made himself useful in helping the un
dertaker TO fix up the cOifns-tack the Grape and or
naments on them etc. The business tckled him, ant
he disclosed regular genius for it. The appetite 70
fixing up coffins grew upon him so much, that a
D last he insisted upon accompanying the undertake
to the houses Of the dead to on the cOtnlids
: and make himself useful generally. The undertake
finally found his young volunteer so valuable, that h
Il offered to pay him fair wages for his services; bu
the offer was declined the youugster declaring tha
: he tinkcred around cofins and dead people for tn
pure love of it. i" Well then, said the undertake.
, any time you want carriage, or any thing Of til
e kind you Just 90 to the stable and order it, and
a, will be all right" The young one willingly accepte
this offer and had au extra carriage ordered for til
