Two Sicillians, in New Orleans, recently
fought duel about difference in business
matters, and one killed the other. They
fought in q small wood, near Algiers, across
the river, with pistols, bayonets, and knives.
One was killed, and the other, who was
discovered lying on the landing faint from
loss of blood from wounds, died the next
day.
In New Orleans they have cars for coiored
persons distinguished by star. White per
sons can also ride in these cars, ifthey Will,
but they are not permitted to object to the
presence of the other race.
The latest novelty in the hat line Is q re-
cent invention of a. G. Crodal, OF New YORK
city. 1t is a cork hat, made Of two layers
of cork, which are prepared with composed
oil, ard packed or attached to an interven-
ing piece of canvas, muslin. or other textile
fabric, in such u manner that hat is pro
duced which is light, durable, elastic and
imperyious to water and to the rays OF the
sun. By preparing the cork with such OIL
the hardness is removed from the same, and
it is rendered soft, elastic, and impervious
to water. Thus prepared, the cork is ap-
plicable to hats, 6onnets, caps, and IN fac',
to head coverings of every description.
THE WAR DEMocRAcY.-We must not
nay, we have not forgotten the War Demo,
cracy. These men, never for moment los
ing sight of their organization never tor a
day giving up their claims to the proud
title of Democrats still sacrificed everything
like party feeling, and nobly took their
places in the ranks of the great Union army,
there to battle, and, if necessary, to die in
the defence of their country. The War De-
mocracy have crowned themselves with i'm
perishable glory. They have earned and
they will receive the most sincere gratitude
of the true men of all parties who now rally
to the support OF the Government. No set
of men had greater sacrifices to make while
cutting the trammels of party, than the
War Democracy. Old political associations
that had invested themselves with the most
sacred friendships, were discarded broken
up, for the nobler work of serving the coun-
try. All honor, then, we say, to the War
/. Democracy. They may indeed be regarded
! ! not only as the defenders and upholders of
principle, but as the champions of the Gov
