SECOND D1sTR1CT.-A singular case came up
Yesterday for decision before Recorder Gastinel,
which was nothing less than breach of the peace
in a certain charitable society known as the Sis
tiers of Good Help. The society is some eight
years old, and is composed of large number of
quadroons of the respectable class, whose man
ners indicate some refinement and whose COM
plexions were so white in a half dozen instances
that they might have easily passed for Caucasian.
There had been, at the corner of Burgundy and
St. Anne, meeting of the sisters which had been
so exclusive of the opposite sex, that the secre-
tary was the only male whose presence
was tolerated. At about O'Clock in the
evening a point of order was raised by
| Louise Smith as to whether Madame the Presi-
dente Feeite Carter, had carried out the laws in
| reference to assistance and help. While Louise
| was discussing the point, she was attacked by the
mother of the presidente, and subsequently by the
| latter functonary herself, The fight now became
| general, and the helping sisters were not unlike
| the spiders who were brought together by phi
| losopher to make silk, but who instead of doing
so, set to work at destroying each other, and kept
up the amusement. The present was not
quite bad, and it does not appear how long this
| battle of the Amazons lasted, what was the damage
| to waterfalls and other tinery, or what part the
ecretary-whom we may suppose to have been
emharrassed-tOOk in the matter. But it was
sufficiently serious to involve five OF them with
Justice, and Mary (or Felcie) Carter, Marie Plai-
| sance and Louise and Stephanie Smith and their
mother, were each condemned to pay SIS each, or
go to prison for ten days, besides giving $3.50 to
keep the peace.
