to ca pture the prize stumbled over boy and

blooded Fenians. The chase was given up,
and a regular stand-up and knock-down pu-
gilistie fight ensued. Blood was drawn freely;
when the police put an end to the strife. By
this time successful raider had captured the
pork by showing him on the ground; he
mounted his creased prize with his skates on,
and toted it across the lot, where a Teutonic
descendent was awaiting to purchase the pig,

A Duel,

All the world agrees that duelhng is one of
the most absurd things of the age, yet these
take place every day here, and more especially
amongst the members of the press. A hostile
rencontre took place the other day between
one of the writers of the Figaro, satirlcal pa
per, and Prince Achille Murat, brother of the
Princess Anna Duches de Monchy. The young
prince was unfortunately mixed up in rather
unpleasant affair respecting horse which had
been sold by pretty horsebreaker.
One of the writers of the Figaro having
thought fit to amuse the public with this in
cent, rather at the expense of Prince Achille,
and in a manner he did not at all relish. he was
called cut by him. A duel took place in which
