A RACE FOR LIFE.-About dusk last even
ing two men got into squabbe at drink
ing saloon near the river, and after short
war of words, in which each seemed to ex-
hsust his stock of epithets, one of them
whipped out a formidable looking knife, and
commenced fourishing it about as if he
would chop his antagonist into mince- meat.
The party thus threatened, not relshing the
idea of being hewed to pieces in so barbarous
a manner, took to his heels and made 2.40
time toward Fourth street, closely pursued
by his savage foe brandishing the deadly
weapon, and swearing dire vengeance upon
the fleeing man. For awhile the race was
a pretty even one, but the steepuess of the
hill told first on the pursurer, and the gap
between them began to widen. Before they
reached Third street, ye man with ye knife
was completely out Of breath, and gave uI
the chase. The last we saw of "swift heels
he was in the middle of the street, far in ad-
vance of his pursuer, and increasing his
pace every moment.

CoMPLIMENTARY-Anh honest man is said
TO be the noblest work of God. Although
specimens of His handiwork in this line are
not so numerous nowadays as they should
be- it is gratifying to know that We have
some still left. A friend of ours, who visited
Woods Theater few nights ago, slightly
inebriated, and gave the Treasurer Eve
dollar bill through mistake for a one, has
requested US to give publicity to the fact that
the gentleman who officiates in the office Of
that establishment comes fully up to hi:
ideas of an honest man. His money wa;
refunded TO him the next day, and our friend
was so impressed with this refreshing exhi
bition of fair dealing, that he is anxious that
it should be known.

Port Royal expedition was on foot. Al are
well armed with vouchers from members Of

A SERIOUS DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY.
Yesterday, au affair of crime occurred at
the corner of Thirteenth and F-streets, which
occasioned considerable excitement. The
wife OF Massachusetts officer, boarding in
the neighborhood, had discovered an anna
tory correspondence between her husband
and a married lady residing at the scene
OF the denOuement, and yesterday watched
him entering the house, into which she
followed, but was elected by her husband
and the lady of the house. In her rage she
assailed the house, completely smashing the
windows with bricks and paving stones, aud
finally used ladder which she found con-
venient as battering-ram to beat in the
door. Upon being demonstrated with by the
by ISLANDERS, she exclaimed: 81 am Massa-
chusetts woman, and will not submit to have
my husband taken from me by a louisiana
prostitute" She was arrested, but imme-
diateIy released, as no one appeared to make
any charge against her. During the trans.
action, the husband of the lady occupant OF
tie premises came home, but could not gain
admission TO his house.
The dreary weather Of the past few days
precludes the possibility of any movement
of the troops on the other side. The roads
are iu such wretched condition that 1T is
with the utmost difficulty that the Govern
ment wagons can reach some of the encamp-
ments.
Active measures are on foot to afford aid
ard comfort to all loyal refugees from the
rebel States. An application will be made
to Congress for aid in furtherauce of the
object. Several refugees from Virginia art
now in the city. They have been compelled
to leave comfortable homes, and are withou
any means of support.

curing the everlasting displeasure of the
female race, we will state fact which came
under our observation this morning, and
those who are interested may take warning
in time. A fair lady attempted to step from
street railroad car, on Fifth-street, but
alas for all human calculations, her skirt
became entangled some how or other in the
iron railing attached to the platform of the
car, and for few moments she was sus.
pended in mid air, greatly to the mortfca-
ton as well as the evident chagrin OF the
polite and modest conductor, who did all in
bis power TO relieve the lady from her en-
harTassing predicament. The conductor has
put on Sub in his place for a few days
that he may overcome the shock that his
nerves sustained on the occasion.
