Row ON WATER STREET.-Shortly be-
fore IL o'clock Saturday night, disgrace.
full row came off on Water steeet, between
Quincy and Monroe. A party Of men
entered restaurant and called tor oys-
tiers. They were furnished, and after eat
them the crowd refused to pay. They
went out and entering saloon near by,
and called for the drinks Here their
wants were supplied also, when the pro-
prietor Of the eating house came in and
desired them to pay for the oysters, They
refused, and TO the demand for payment
by the saloon keeper they entered a Vlgor-
Gus protest, Going out on the street
again, they opened up battery OF stones
on the windows of the saloon, completely
demolishing them. The proprietor seized
q shot gun and was about to give the riot
crs the benefit Of the contents Of both
barrels, when his wife entreated him not
to do so. He put the weapon away, and
taking baseball club, went out on the
pavement The supposed leader of the
gang happened to be within his reach,
when he dealt him powerful blow with
the club, telling him to the earth like a
beef. A fright(ul cash was cut in. the
fellows scalp. He will probably not
trouble anybody else for several days,
We did not hear that any arrests were
made, but there doubtless will be. We
have mentioned no names, as We heard
but one or two OF them, and it is hardly
just to give only part aud let the re-
mainder escape unenviable notoriety,
When the matter is made subject of in
vestigatiOn before the legal tribunals,
names and other particulars will become
public property,

History a Paris,

History q Paris.
Paris is now in one of those supreme
crises which have occasionally varied Its
long and interesting history. When CO
sar conquered Gaul it was but small
fortified town, on the little island in the
Seine, W 6iCk Is MOVIE mere speck n the
heart Of the city. The Celtic tribe Of
the PARISH burned it to prevent its falling
into his hands. That was 6fty-fve years
before the Christian era. Our:hundred
years afterward tho Roman Governor,
the celebrated Julian (aftcrward empcr-
or,) made Lutetia, as Paris was then call
ed, his abode, and he built public edificcs
there, making it an important city. II
narrowly escaped destruction by Attila.
In 465 it WAS stOrmed by the Franks,
lunder .Chiidcric, and near the close Of
|tho century it was taken by Clovis, the
first Christian king Of the Franks. In
1856 Hugh Capet made it the capital Of
France, and it subsequently withstood
several seiges by the Normaas. 1t wa>
the scene OF many sanguinary conflicts
during the middle ages. It was taken
by the English undor Henry ", after n
terrible sci &c, attended with Pestilencc,
famine and resurrection. Hery entered
the city with great pomp, and was there
proclaimed King Of France. At that
time Paris contained three hundred
thousand souls. 1t suffered greatly du-
ring the civil wars of the Guiscs, and
subsequently Of the Hnguenots, but n"
foreign enemy a; peared before it's walls
until 1914 when, 4.ilera short but gallant
resistance, ii aarrenderd to the Allies un-
der Wellington and biucher. 1t was
Paris that organized ana controlled the
great revdiuri0ntofI5 50, and it directed
ali the remarkable events from that peri
cd until the fall OF Napoleon in 1914. II
dethroned Charles X. in 1880, and Louis
Philippe in 1S4s; but. the ex-empcrOr on
his accession inausuratod the system of
plebiscites whereby much Of the power
possessed by the metropolis has been
transferred to thecountry ut large. Paris,
though influential, is no longer France /;
but the heart and aspirations of every
young. Frenciiman turn toward her As the
needle does 10 the pole. FWho has not
seen Paris has not seen tho world was
q popular proverb a. far as the days OF
Louis. XIV. when the streets were mar
roy, an open sewer ran down the middle
of them and there was no foot pavement
