DESPERATE DUEL.-A desperate duel took
place about 5 clock on Friday afternoon, be-
tween two gentlemen, one Mr.. N, Of French
origin, connected with the financial department
Of one Of our theatres, and the other Mr. B.,
a creole, Of this city. The challenging party
was the theatre gentleman, and Mr.. B. sclcc-
tel tic French navy broad-sword as the weap-
on, which were sharpened to a very keen edge
The combat took place back Of the Orleans ball
room. The parties were seconed by experts
like themselves in the art Of Seli-dclcncc, and
it is probably owing to this fact that the duel
did not end fatally. The combat lasted q lew
minutes, and concluded by MIR. B. cutting Mr..
n deeply but not dangerously, directly over
the right temple, Mr.. B. at the same time re.
cciving serious iwound in the left wrist in his
successful cndeavor to ward off deadly blow
Of his adversary, aimed at his abdomen. The
combat was then arrested, and the wounded
parties received the attention OF their ply
aicans. Mr.. B. wound is said to be Of Z
severe character, and it is feared that the main
artery Of his injured arm has been severed
Thc floor upon which this desperate duel took
place was literally covered with blood, which
flowed in great prolilsion from the wounds Of
both combatants The cause OF the duel was
Of a personal character, and for a wonder no
lady was connected with the affair." N. o..

very high pitch, said: "Mistar President, |

Lewis's voice had reached deafening pitch:
Mr.. Babcock arose to an inquiry. He wished
to know if there were any deaf members pres
ent, that the member should speak SO loudly :?
Lewis: II is very much obliged to my AL
mighty God for de power Of speakin he has
given me, and [ am pleased in de idee dat he
don't consult any member on dis floor how
high my voice is raised. All [ has to say is,
dat I don't desire to enter into de question of

desire to scriminize de character of any man.
