OUT WITH Your PIsTOL-It seems lately
that with provOcation or no proyicatiOn
out comes the pistol and bullet is dis
patched after a human life. There are SO
many shots fred recently that even report
ers are unable to keep an account Of them
A difficulty occurred about noon Sunday,
at the house No. 6j IRENE street, known as
the Fifteenth Amendment between two
colored men named Richard Trigger. and
Dennis Gallagher in which Gallagher was
shot in the head just above tie right eyeIby
. the other.
The parties quarreled over a game Of
cards, and the shooting was because Of
angry words used in the controversy. Trigger
confesses to have done the shooting, adding
that the pistol was given him for that pur-
pose.
The wounded man was taken to No. IS
Basin street, where Dr.. A. w. DePOeldez
pronounced his wounds to be mortal.
Trigger was arrested and locked up at the
fourth precinct station, as principal and
another colored man named Allen John
son as accessory.

POPULAR.-During a recent run over the
Mobile railroad several passengers were so
well pleased with the excellent conduct Of
Conductor H. Syers that it was agreed to
pass a subscription among few well known
gentlemen, who frequently visit the water
ing places, for contributions to purchase
the gentleman a splendid silver lantern.
The intention is a commendable one, and
the presentation will be worthily bestowed,
as Mr.. Syers has won the gratitude of hun
dreds of passengers by his unremitting at
tention TO his arduous duties. When so
good an officer is found the travelling public
should cherish him.

their third champion game, the first named

be assured it won't hurt her. She has made

There are many women to-day thlrstlng

your drawer clean shirt whenever you want

1~ Many years ago Hopkins conceived an
idea that the srrest way of civilizing the red
man would be to bring him under the sooth.
ing influences Of the divine art. Hopkins
concluded that this could best be done by
teaching each individual Indian to play upon
some instrument. So he bought about 1000
flutes and started off for Arizona. He settled
down among the Apaches, who were much
pleased with Hopkins scheme. So Hopkins
began to give music lessons, and in q few
weeks he had all those flutes employed, and
the silence Of the plains was broken by per-
feet cyclone of B-hats and C-naturals. And
that melodious old ass of a Hopkins used to
rush out his 1900 braves upon calm summer
evenings, and make them roost along on a
fence and practice their scales in unison, un.

borhood was screeched up on end. Alter
while Hopkins educated them up to try to
play "Auld Lang Syne," and the way these
aboriginal performers would slide around
amoug the notes, and tear up and down the
bars, and improvise extraordinary and ap-
palling variations, would have made even an
Italian organ grinder commit suicide. But
Hopkins said he felt encouraged, and 80 he
marched his orchestra into town one evening
for the purpose of serenading the mayor and
when the performers had wrestled with that
tune for about quarter of an hour the citizens
formed vigilance committee and hung Hop
kins, while they shot the eorchestra all to atoms
and made bonfire of the flutes. Since that
time the Apaches and Arizonians have not
been on speaking terms. ~

A DocToR WHO WAS Equal TO A CR1

A DOCTOR WHO WAS Equal TO A CRIsIs'-
The Duchess. of, Dbl, one of the most
aristocratic ladies of the Faqbourg, St. Ger
main, had got possessed of the idea that she
had swallowed frog. She felt this said
frog-she declared she did d-and its presence
robbed her of peace Of mind, sleep, and even
of health. The Partisan physicians had the
rudeness to deny the existence of this animal,
ignorant, as they were, that the poor lady suf-
fered martyrdom. A fortunate chance made
her acquainted with Dr.. Cabarus, and to him
she told her tale of woe. He felt, with q se-
riousness worthy of Hippocrates himself, the
pulse of the fair patient, inquired after va
rious symptoms, and when the charming aris-
tocrat had exhausted all her store of argu-
ments to prove her pet delusion, the youthful
doctor said, after a well feigned pause:-
Madame, the frog is there, but will remove
it." he then prescribed an innocent emetic,
and went to the nearest aowershop, where he
bought small green frog. Armed with this
confederate, he presented himself once more
before the duchess, and placed q large basin
of water in readiness. The emetic began to
take effect, the duchess eyes began to fll with
tears, and our doctor took advantage of the
opportunity to slip the green frog into The
basin. On seeing the frog 9 load was removed
from the duchess heart, and for an instant all
seemed we'll. The next moment she turned
pale, and, as DR.. Cabarus supported her tot
tering frame, she cried in despairing tone:
"Oh doctor, I am not yet cured for the frog
has left little one behind" "Stop!" cried
Cabarus, without allowing trace Of embar.
rassrnent to be seen in bis manner, "that we
shall soon aee." He then threwa searching
glance upon the frog, which he had BY this
time taken in his hand, and uttered with a
certainty that settled the whole question,

STRENGTH OF G1BRALTAR.-Until you set
foot upon Gibraltar you can form no idea OF
its impregnability. Very properly its real
strength cannot be seen from ship in the
bay only when you land do you find that
the sea-wall bristles with heavy guns, and
groans beneath piles of ball; only as you
traverse its flank do you see how formidable
the breech-loaders peep from every availa-
BILE chink, and powerful mortars lurk be-
hind every convenient embankment And
not until you penetrate the body of the rock
do YOU pet any just notion Of the marvellous
piece of military engineering exhibited in its
agalleries." These are tunnels excavated from
the soldid rock, parallel to its outer side, but
some thirty feet therefrom, and large enough
to drive carriage through. They are in two
tiers, and comprise total length OF nearly
three miles. At every thirty feet or so along
them, spacious embrasures are out-hewn, that
terminate in commanding portfolios, which
look to spectator outside the rock like swal-
lows nestholes in a sand cliff. These en-
brasures contain heavy guns always standing
ready for action, with powder magazines hard
by. From the portfolios beautiful peeps OF
the bay and the Spanish country are obtained;
out of these, on the north side, you look down
upon half sandy, half grassy flat. perhaps

Meeting the rock with the mainland, and sep

lines of sentry boxes, one at the rock end, the
other at the distant end, mark the boundaries
of British and Spanish land, and between
these lines is the neutral ground" The
guns in the quarried embrassures, and those
hidden cannon that stud the western and south
ern slopes of the rock, cover the neighboring
Spanish land, the whole of the bay and the
straits; and the strengthening work is ever
