A RIoody Duel.
Erorn the N o. Crescent, Dec. 13.

From the N. o. Crescent, Dec. 13.
The famous duelling ground on the Metairie
ridge, known as THE Oaks was the scene
yesterday morning of sanguinary duel be-
tween two young men of this city, which has
rarely had its parallel In the annals of the code
either in this country or in Europe. The an
tagonists were, the one native Creole OF New
Orleans, the other a Frenchman by birth the
proyocation blow in the face, at the hand OF
the Creole; the weapons were broad-swords ;
the hour daybreak. Arrived on the field, &C
cOmpanled by their seconds, the combatantS
stripped to the waist, and sword IN hand, Ia
the freezing air OF the morning, sprang at each
other like tigers. There was no hesitation, or
playing to try each others skill. A few luugees
and cuts were successfully paired when sud,
denly an upcut from the Frenchman's sword
wounded his opponent in the right arm. The
qfpoSte from the Creole laid open the french,
mans left cheek, laying the inside open ana
exposing his teeth. Nothing daunted, the
wounded man stepped back, had handkerchief
bound round his face and again put himself IL
attitude of offence. His first lunge penetrated
the breast of his antagonist, between the rib
aud the skim but it was made with such reIent-
less force that it passed also through the of
arm. An attempt was made at this moment
by the seconds to stop the matter at that point
but the man with the handkerchief around his
jaws rushed at the second who was most anxl-
Gus to settle the matter, sword in hand, as
severating that naught should quiet his anil
mostly except cut across his throat. Inc
battle was renewed and lasted until the Creole
had received eight wounds and the other SIX
all severe and painful, but none, it is hoped,
dangerous. Both men displayed extraordinary
courage, animosity and endurance and during
the course of the bloody encou inter- neither was
willing to give up the contest until both had to
let their hands fall helpless to their sides from
loss of blood and the pain of their wounds.
The parties were carried home, alter having
their wounds dressed and though the Creole
had two more wounds, his situation was more
comfortable and less critical than that OF his
antagonist.

a RAsCALLY URCHIN.-A Boston
man tells the following newsboy story !:
Coupon, the corpulent banker, was
standing in State Street one hot day in
August, "wiping the servile drops of
from his brow" when ragged but
sharp-eyed newsboy accosted him
with:
"Please, sir, tell me the time !!
Coupon lugged out his Fordsham,
and, looking benignantly down to his
interlocutor, responded.
"Just two o'clock"
"All right, old buffer" said the gam
in, gathering his legs together for a
run. "You can sell out for soap grease
at three o'clock"
The insulted man of money raised
his cane and, making frantic rush at
his tormentor, nearly fell over friend
that was comming up the street.
"IIallo, Coupon, what's the natter"
said the other.
"Matter" said Coupon, putting with
heat and anger, why one of those darn
newsboys asked me the time, and when
l told him two o'clock, the impudent
young scoundrel said / might sell out
for soap grease at three"
Don't be in such hurry" was the
malicious response, otis only five
past two you've got ffty-five
to do it in.

lMPuDENT QUEsTIoNs.-To ask n
lawyer if he ever told lie.
To ask doctor how many persons he
had killed.
To ask Il negro if he is black.
To ask young lady whether she
would like beau.
To ask minister to take something
to drink.
To ask subscriber if he has paid the
printer.
To ask merchant if he has ever
cheated a customer.
Ia ask an editor the namc of any Of

To ask II man TO lend you hi- pocket

SOCIAL. KINDNEss.-Ho sweet Is
social affection! When the world Is
dark without we have light within.
When the cares disturb the breast
when sorrows brood around the heart
what joy gathers in the circle of Lowell
We forgot the world, with all Its an
imosities while blessed with social kind
ness. That man cannot be cold who
has hearts that vibrate in sympathy
with his own-who is cheered by the
smiles of affection and the voice of ten
derness. Let the world be dark and
cold-let the hate and anmosity of bad
men gather around the place of busi-
ness-but when heenters the ark of love
his own cherished circle--he forgets
all these-the cloud passes from his
brow, and the sorrow from the heart.
The warm sympathies of his wife and
children dispel every shadow, and he
feels a thrill of joy in his bosom, that
words are not adequate to express. He
who is stranger to joys of social kind.
ness has not begun to live.

"a GAL BABY AT THAT."--To de-
sire change Of sex is not commonly
considered manly aspiration to weep
about ii seems ludicrous. Yet tho
thing has been done, and on the tented
field. In the very fiercest of the battle
at Malvern Hill, General Lee encount-
cred tall Shonny Reb in full retreat,
and blubbering fearfully. He stopped
him and shamed him but the fellow
openly avowed cowardice, and he said
he knew he was II coward when they
script him.
"Well," said the patient but vexed
General, "that may be, but you need
not below about it like great baby"
"Baby ~ echoed the conscript, 81
wish l was baby, and gal baby at
that"
AS II warrior, the General regarded
the party defective, and passed not for
ferther colloquy. .......

The BEST He COULD Do.-An army
chaplain relates the following funny
story. Seeing dirty faced butternut
urchin at the fence in front of house,
the preacher stopped and said;

. "No, he's gone to church."
"Is your mother in ?"
"No, she's gone too"
"Then you are all by yourself ?"
"No, Sans in thar huggin' the niggar
gal"
That's bad"

can do.

TIT FOR TAT.-A New York drum
