- remarkable tragedy occurred last Mon
daysvening stthe Crescent City. About six
O'Clock two OF the most notorious roughs In
sMOfiesno; named Jerry Lyons and John
Henry, accidentally, met on Common street,
near Charles street, when they mutually re-
solved to settle an, old feud by arms. Both
had reyolyers and bowie knives, They con-
tlnnsd the battle until their ammunition was
expanded, then, began hacking with knives.
30 deadly was tho encounter that both COM
batants were fatally wounded, each of the men
dying hefore medical aid could be extended.
: Although large number of persons were In
tbs s;heighborhood, none were injured. The
police maintained mssterly Inactivity.
Lid the oourss OF the lecture oa Saturday,
bSafiis Emily Faithfulf, she made one very
pointed remark upon. an anomaly 10 the mar
fisgs laws Of England as compared with. the
property laws Of that country. She said that
thsr solemn pledge OF the Essllsh marriage
service makes the husband say, 'with ell my
worldly goods z 'theei sndow." Yet at the
sana timsfhs propertyslaws are such that the
husband retains possession not only OF hls
6&npropssy bus gains possession Of all; be.
longing to his wife. While .it Is undoubtedly
tue that This remark is subject to special
qtSHhcsation, to the extent to which marriage
seftieuaents are made and other special reser-
vataon In tavorsot the wife, 1t Is the common
lawdocsrine on the subject. 1t Is, therefore,
sFerg. g.h6 sub3eeefor the pointed and proper
cfihossm which Miss Faithful made. In many
offhe states OF the American Union. perhaps
tn most them, the marriage and property
laws ne framed in much falrer spirit TO-
wsrds married women.
1.-The San Francisco Call, in a retrospec-
hgsyiew: Of The history ofthat city, takes a
rather. Jdiscenraging view OF affairs, and is
inclined to doubt whether, after all, San Fran
cisco has fulfilled iss mission, or is what in the
sldsofder of things It should be. Ithas In the
fVsdty.nvs years of Its existence attained the
rs1utston 0f being an enterprislng city, and
its peoplss pushing, active, energetic com
paunity. Less than twenty-five years ago the
i:ts of The Golden City was 9 sandy waste,
Sogsred with chapparal. To-day it Is 9 busy
.1nast with Q permanent population one Of hun
tlredAnd seventy thousand, with churches,
po6ac huAainss schools, with all the conse-
quens and attendants OF civilization. One
must admit thAs this Is something, but yet
vhefie isremembered that it ls the only port
where the vast commerce of the Pacific meets
the Continent; that for its founding and build
ing gold wssalmost as plenty as dirt; that the
climate d nneqaalled in the world; that the
