Two ebony colored females, named Hattie
Ros. and Lizzie Moore, quarretiod Jointly
about ''beau," mot Bean Hlckman,) and
made Thirtccn-and-a-half street redo,eoa
with their screams and disorderly behavior
on Tuesday morning. On this occasion the
only weapon OF Q deadly nature brought Into
reputation by the belligercnts was tho uu-
loosed tongue, and In the combat II was I'M
possible to tell who had the advantage, as
the ''battle Of words" was terminated with
the nrst round, when the apron was thrown
up.
Hattie, having recovered shortly AFTER
ward, rcsorted 10 the otaec Of Justice Plant,
where she preferred . charge against Lizsie
for "cursing, swearing, and using pfofane
and indecent Language In the street" A
warrant was Issued, and Lisx,e soon afscr
confronted his honor. The magistrate heard
with patience tho tale Of "lovo" as Il cI-
'sfur dc false one" and concluding that both
the females were guilty Of breach Of tho
peace, In consideration Of their wounded
| feelings,n imposed . moderate fine on each.
SLIGHT MISTAKE.
On Friday morning last Mr.. John Gordon,
living IN the northeastern section Of the city,
sent one Of his servants Into the city with
the "hlghcst bidder for cash." There wcro
Ave chickens In the lot, and the person hav-
ing them In charge assembled the steps Of
residence on I street, occupied BY . Hebrew
family. The door-bell was rung, and q stout,
elderly lady answered the summons. The
man Of the chickens asked her II she did not
wish to purchase the fowls, but not under
standing English, she made no answer, and
| took them to the back yard, where her hus-
band, in less time than the twinkling Of an
eye, decapitated them.
The servant At the door waited consid-
cradle time to ascertain II the family had
purchased the " stock" when the husband
appeared and demanded IS cents from him,
stating that he always charged i've cents
each for killing chickens. Tho boy told
him that he had been sent TO sell the
chickens, and not pay for having them
killed, whereupou the man Of the house be-
came enragcd and went into the yard for the
chickens and threw them into the street.
The servant gathered them up and took
them home, where they were soon converted
into pot-pie.
The gentleman who killed the chickens
said he was high priest of his Order" and
supposed the faithful had sent their "nock"
to him for "kauscher, " II not for the deity on
high, at least TO crafty the appctites OF his
unrepentant parishioners below. The mat
ter will probably be settled BY some Of our
magistrates.

POINT LooKoUr.-Miss DelphIne P. Baker

Der OF our people have already awaited them
selves OF the pleasures to be enjoyed at the

hospitality. The Point possesses natural
advantages unlike any seashore place Of re-
sort In the country, and as the patriotic
lady In charge Is devoting herself to fitting
the place up for home for the orphans OF
our soldiers aud sailors, her efforts should
be encouraged. Nomore pleasant trip could
be enjoyed than run TO the Point by way
of the steamers Colt, Express and Columbia,
and a day or two's sojourn. The steamers
named all leave the city on various days OF
the week, stopping at the Point, and the op-
