The Dolbear Commercial College, of New
Orleans, advertisos for several teachers OF
scientific branches, with the following pro-
Tiso:
IN. B.--No fanatic, who thinks it right to
steal rob and murder, need apply"
This, really, is an ingenious and polite
adaptation of the vernacular to the condi-
tion of society. Next, we shall hear gentle
men who make way with their neighbors'
goods characterized as enthusiasts. Horse
thieves viii be called progressives, and
forgers will be described as devotees to lit
erature. Murderers will be called over-zeal-
Gus, or men of single idea. These college
terms are great improvement on the flash
phrases hitherto in vogue in the light-fin-
gered profession. 1t seems by the special
notice that this class of gentry has hereto
fore been freely admitted into the professor
ships of the Dolbear Commercial College,
and that the Directory have grown unac-
countably fastidious. 1t is a question
whether they can sustain so stringent a
rule.

A Very DroIl Duel In New Orleans The
combaiants Fight with Fllpt-IOck Pistols
The New Orleans correspondent ofthe ST.
Louis Republican relates this amusing story
ofalate duel in the former city; 81
One Of the funniest duels that ever heard
Of came off few days ago on the Gentiity
Road, the principals being two young French
Creoles of the Second District, Messieurs st.
Romes and Carriere. Their cause of action
dates back twelve-month or more, and had
its origin in an accusation preferred by O.,
against st. R., of having written letter to
the Life in Boston, in which he maligned
the character Of virtuous and highly re-
spectacle young lady of this city. A Achallenge
from Carriere to st. Romes followed, and
the latter at once proved beyond all question
his faculty for doing extraordinary things.
To the horror and amazement of every
connoisseiT and amateur of the science of sin
gle combat he chose fiRt-tock pistols for the
weapons, and, what was worse, the chal-
lenger was bound TO submit to this incom-
prehensible, old-fogyish notion, and take the
chance OF popping his man off with weapon
that might not go off at ALL and if it did,
would certainly go-hzz-bangl They met
at the usual place of fighting, aud endesv-
| ored to preserve the utmost courtesy and
the extreme of stoical composure. The pre-
lminaries were arranged, and they were put
! in position. The word was given, "Gentle-
men, are you ready {" "Readyp "Fire-
one-two-three and simultaneous click,
click of the two Intellectual old hint-locks
was the only response to the dreadful sum
mons, while the two combatants ducked
i their heads, in anticipation of the tardy
| leaden messengers. There was not even a
/ fash in the pan, and so it was decided to
! pick their flints and try it again.
Again Carrieres pistol, like an obstinate
mule, refused to go; st. Romess, also, gave
click, and then, as if changing its mind
discharged cloud of smoke from the pan,
followed by another from the muzzle, and a
| stunning report, like that of heavily-loaded
musket. Nobody was hurt, and Carriere's
seconds then withdrew their man, conclud-
ing that it was wasting time to fight when
he couldn't get shot, and stood no chance
/ Of being hit himself He, however took the
affair (which the bystanders looked upon as
/ a good ioke) in high dudgeon-swore terri
/ bly, at his bad luck-entreated piteously for
another chance-thought he could fix F'the
! cussed old flint so it would go next time"
and represented, in forcible and moving
terms the injustice of being shot at and moi
/ permitted to have an answering crack at his
/ enemy. 1t was all in vain; his seconds re-
fused to act, and the other party destroyed
bis last hope by Withdrawing from the we'll
| fought field.
