A FIGHT WITH KNIVES AND PISTOLS IN
A BALL RooM.-The La Crosse (Wisconsin)
Democrat says: "A most terrible and
bloody ARRAY occurred down at Bad Axe
City, twelve miles below here, on Christmas
eve. There was ball given at the hotel
IN that small river town, and many persons
we're present. A well-known desperate by
the name of John Oliver was there. There
were also in attendance at the party three
brothers by the name Of Dennison, who had
at some previous time crossed the path of
Oliver, and on whom he had sworn ven
geance. Those in the ballroom had heard
it limited that if Oliver got another drink
or two down there would probably be col
ision.
. "About half-past 10, Oliver commenced
swearing and talking very loudly, and i'm
mediately drew a large Bowie-knife. Den
nison saw him coming, and in attempting
to ward off the blow, received it through
the arm, just above the elbow. The other
brothers seeing this, went to their brothers.
assistance, when Oliver stabbed at one of
them, cutting an ugly wound in his side,
and Immediately clinched the remaining
one, and had his knife raised to give the
fatal blow, when one Of the wounded bro
theirs pulled out revolver and shot Oliver
through the head, and he fell to the floor
and expired.
"Little excitement existed, and no ar
rests will probably be made, for the uni
versal verdict seems to be (of the villagers)
that Oliver got what he wanted and needed
most"

EFFEoT or climate on PHYSIQUE AND
CHARAcrEa.-A Paris corr espondent Of the
New York World brings to notice a work
by NJ. Henry Berthond, o writer on popular
science. The correspondent makes q liberal
extract from the book, descanting upon the
effects Of climate on the appearance and
disposition Of men. The reader will find
some amusement in the following specimens
Of the reflections Of the Paris savan:
eff one pays little attention he may
find everywhere in Paris opportunities to
make scientific observations. For instance,
glovers make here for North America
gloves Of q peculiar form, and which q
European hand could not wear. The fingers
are made of length which seems unrea-
sonable to us, and which, nevertheless,
barely suffices for the exigencies Of 9
Yankee hands conformation. This is the
demonstration of q fact long since observed,
and which scientific man of Philadelphia
made the subject Of o letter to M. Pruner
Bey." He says: /" The Aneio-American
presents from the second generation cha
racteristics of the type which is not
unlike that of the Leni Lennapes,
the Iroquois, and the Cherokee In
dams. The glandular system shrinks to
the minimum of its normal development.
The skin becomes dry as leather; it loses
the warmth of color and ruddiness of cheeks,
and in their stead the color of mud tine
lures it ! Il men and an insipid paleness in
women. The head decreases in size and
becomes round or pointed. It is covered
with smooth hair Of dark color. The
neck lengthens. There is great develop
ment Of the zygomatic and masseters bones.
The eyes are sunken in deep cavities, which
are quite near each other. The iris be-
comes dark the eyes expression piercing
and wild. The long bones lengthen chiefly
in the upper extremity. Therefore Eng
land and France make for expectation to
North America gloves especially for this
market whose fingers are unusually long.
The cavity of these fugers' benes are very
narrow. Finger-nails are prone to take
heightened and sharp form. The
larynx is large. The voice is hoarse
and shrill." Another scientific American
adds :" The language of Americans tends
more and more in it's standard phrases to
become like the red mems Indians. There
is, too, growing tendency to exclude light
from houses, and a growing fondness for
garish colors in clothes-tastes which are
common to all savages. Let us add further,
the proverbial phlegmatic character of the
English gradually disappears in Yankees,
and in ito stead there is found an uneasy,
feverish, and incessant activity, which
shows itself by constant craving to oc-
o,,or tbarb q ndo 4ond hu thu uuivproo1 ha
bit Of whiting wood. To avoid the de-
struction of furniture in American hotels,
all their proprietors take care to provide
each traveller with sticks for them to
white at pleasure. Such is the force Of
this mania the Federal Government annu-
ally votes ON appropriation of money to
provide the members Of Congress at Wash
ington with sticks to whittle, in order to
prevent the destruction of the seats and
desks Of the Capitol" ~

The CoNFEDERATE ARCHIvEs.-Mr. Da-
Wis made no disposition of some Of the
most valuable and important documents
placed under his control. The writer Of
this had under his immediate control the
most general, important, and interesting
archives of the late Confederate Govern
ment. In them wss embraced its entire
political history from it's suspicious be-
ginning at Montgomery to the disastrous
close at Richmond. The Congress had left
it to Mr.. Davis to say when, how, and where
these archives should be moved. Upon
application to Mr.. Davis few days previ-
Gus to the surrender as to what disposition
should be made Of them, We werc informed
by his private secretary that Mr.. Davis had
packed none of the papers Of his Office for
removal, and that we should aUait further
orders. The orders came on Sunday. Tho
papers were packed, and went on the Pre-
sidential train. We have an idea tibet they
are deposited at present in Washington

PROFITS OF THE RICE CROP IN LOUISIANA.
A friend just down from st. James parish
assures us that q rich planter in that re-
gion, having planted all the cane he could
obtain this year, found one hundred and
ak acres unused. On these he determined
to SOW rice for the use Of his family and
his farm hands, as well as for sale, If ne
should succeed in the attempt. His rice
crop filled fourteen hundred barrels, the
greater number of which he disposed OF on
the plantation at S2l barrel and the en-
tire cost Of blowing, sowing, and preparing
the grain for market was 81 1000. If ne had
sold all the barrels, which he could easily
have done at $21, his clear profit would
have been s25, 400. -Ne,o Orleans Crescent.
