broom and though looking as it he had just
left a bald-box, herein aif0rding n marked oon-

queer duel was prosecuted in dead silence, hut
the weapons-the brooms s-were vigorously
handled Clouds Of dust enyeloped the novel
combatants. Now Mrs. J.s iutrenchm ents Of
dirt were nearly captured Anon she beats her
foe back 10 his sidewalk. To the spectators, it
is quite evident that endurance alone can win
the fight and IL is clear from u sudden rush Of
Mrs. j. adversary, driving before him piles of
dirt and the lady herself that her endurance
is Of the tongue rather than the arms. She
wayets moments panic selzes her, and
clingiug cOnvusively to her broom with one
hand, she clutches her skirts with the other, aud
retreats, not either in good order or odor The
neighbor enjoys his triumph, and withdraws
from the field, forgetting far moment that his
opponent was q woman. Upon his disappear
ance she cautiously emerges from her retreat
aud resumes her work of street sweeping. lie,
also, with his beaver up, again takes the field,
and the fun grows fast and furious, The mum
Der of spectators have increased. Faces en-
velOped in lovely Right caps are projected from
appraised windows, aud frequently hearty
laugh from pretty lips breaks upon the morning
air. Mrs j. is suddenly impressed with the idea
that she is making herself ridiculous, and with
look of concentrated hate literally bestowed
upon all within reach of her glance, she retires,
with broom CALAMITY borne aloit, to the protect
ing arms OF her good man within doors.
Now, few sympathized with Mrs. Jones in heI
defent but she herself has entirely recovered
from iis effects She is " chief mourner" still,
and has "a carriage ride almost daily; she con
tnues to circulate her ISLANDERS industriously
despises her neighbOrs vigorously, especially the
one Of the broom, and attends to her religious
duties with persistence highly creditable to the
entire race Of Joneses.

ABOUT KNAPsACKs.

Within the last month 200, 900 kHApsacks have
been delivered to the Government in addition to
previous purchases OF about 100000 during the
past eight mrnths, The contracts for more
than oUe-half Of these knapsacks have been
given to parties in this city, the remainder being
distributed between Philadelphia, Wilmington,
Delaware, Newark, New Jersey. The contract
price has ranged from Sl.89 to So CO. averaging
about s., 80 that the total expenditure for this
single article of military equipment has been
nearly two millions OF dollars. more sub
stuntlal article after the French and Prussau
pattern has been purohase for some regiments
at a cost Of from $4 to $3.50. Ten thousand of
them have been imported, and five thousand
more manufactured by Edward dumbs, of No. g

tracts
| The manufacture of these knApsacks has given
| employment to the trunkmakers Of this city at a
time when the sales in their regular business
we're less than 20 per cent Of ordinary years
II is estimated that some ~ 600 operatives, male
aud female, have been kept at work in this way
directly, while the industry Of a large number
of others hos been incidentally affected. Brass
founders, stair.rod makers, wlre-drawers and
others, workers in metal whose usual business
is completely dead, have turned their attention
to the manufacture of brass trimmings for KNAPP
saoks, while large number Of others hav'
found employment IN furnishing the immens'
number Of buckets and straps required. Th
demand for canvass, thread, paint, &c has als'
stimulated trade in these articles, and mt les
than ten or fifteen thousand dollars have heel
expended for the single article OF wax, wit
which tue thread used in sewing is stfened.

ADVENTURES OF CLERGYMAN IN A
CONCERT SALOON

OIVNhlhA HhhbpNs
very singular case came before the authori
ties at Police Headquarters yesterday. The
facts as communicated to Superintendent Ken
nedy, were to the following effect. The COM
plninant says his name in Rev. Samuel +. Ran
gent, formerly of New Orleans, and priest of
the Roman Catholic Church. lie arrived in this
city on Wednesday last, from Havana, and put
up at the Metropolitan Hotel. During the niter-
noon he says be made the acquaintance OF very
penteel looking man, who said he boarded at the
hotel. Some time in the evening the new ac-
auaintance induced him TO visit q concert saloon,
situated in the basement of No. 6OO Broadway
MIR. Rnngent asked his friend to take drink
in this saloOn-himself taking, "a he says, water,
peppermint and sugar. He had scarcely swal
lowed his drink before be became drOwsy, and
soon he was In a sound sleep. When he awoke,
he discovered that valuable gold watch, chain
aud cross, and also his pocket book, containing
papers valued at So, 900 were all gone. When
he came before the police, about the first thing
noticed by the Superintendent was commission
as Chaplain in the First Louisiana Regiment,
properly made and signed by Gov. Moore. The
date of it was May 49, 1861. Among his bag
gage was found a number of letters, which cor.
roborated the story he told about himself, and
which was as follows;
lie says he is q native Of Missouri, where his
parents now reside. He was educated for the
Church in the city of Paris. When he returned
TO America he became assistant pastor Of Sc
Patrick's Church, in New Orleans, and was oiiic
atiug as suoh when the war broke cut. SooI
after commission as Chaplain was handed Il
him, and he was told that he must serve in tina
capacity in the First Louisiana Regiment. IL
was too much of Union man, he says, to acoep
the office, aud seeing no other way to avoid tn
reouisition he at once fed to the City OF Mexico
At this place he began to preach, aud in one O
bis sermons he advised his congregation to reaI
tue Scriptures whenever they can eonld find
correct version Of them. This caused great ex
cit,ment among the Mexican clergy, and III
people Of the city formed plot to assasslnat
him. OF this he was informed by Mr. Richards
