Sp1rS Vi. CUBA.-CUBA VS..
spArS.--Ttbo citizens Of the Cres-
cent CITY have been treated to an
interesting subject of gossip in the
duel which occurred above Car
r6llton on the 10th, between a
spaniard named Pope Lula and
a Cuban named Carlos de Mayer.
The origin of the quarrel dates
some three weeks before, at a pro-
cession Of Cuban refugees, who
bore banners, and transparencles
through the street with notices
which gave mortal offence TO- the
spaniards resident there. Lhala,
who is proprietor Of one Of the
cemetaTies in, the Third District
published a capdy "Fo the Cuban
Refugees and to those who sympa-
tBise with then" challenging the.
offenders in regular form, ipdiTid-
ually and collectively This Pla-
card was posted, and brought a.
response from de Mayer, The
result,was adueIinwhich de Mayer
. . - .
was severely wounded. It is
thought that the affair is only a
yrecurser.of o. small dueling war.
The sponiard. is under a $4,000
bond to keep the peace in the
Parish Of Orleans, His, friends
advise him to fight not more than
one more duel, but to. agree to

ASAD, TRUE SToRY.-An Incl.

been married to an estimable young
man connected with one of oar

Day after day he came to the Gin,

to hear from his affianced. BRIDE
The time for the wedding passed
by, and the news came to him that
she was worse and must die, With
the characteristic devotion Of q
woman, she sent him word not to
visit her or to be present at her

quest that she should. be buried in
her bridal dress, So, about the

though strange voices she hao
passed away. The hands of stran'
gers clad her in the bridal gar
ments and laid her in the coffin
The eyes of strangers dropped
tears as they closed the cofin-liiG
over her, and thought of what she
was, and what she had hoped tc
be, and of the one heart left sac
by her departure. Friends, bp
not old ones, saw her deposited il
the earth, and marked the spot
that those who knew her vel
might find her resting place CEn
