terday, and being exceedingly anxious did not
take the trouble go out to the classic ground "
or to provide themselves with seconds, bottle hold
ers, etc., but pitched i'll then and there with vim
Officer Dittler, passing by, was outraged in his
sense of order by such contempt for established
usages, SO stopped the battle incontinently, and
marched the two bruisers off to the calaboose.

Mr.. Bossill. 1t seems that Anatole had committed
some slight pecadillos before coming here, for
which he had been sentenced to the Parish Prison
for certain length Of time but not liking to put
the State to any expense on his account, patrioti
cally concluded to spend that time here His
friends there, among whom were the Recorder and
Sheriff, would not permit this, however, and sent
