true that those who follow occu-

the Devil )" that is, as we under
stand, professional men. Now it is
strange it the professional men Of
Lake county, are becoming 80
reduced as to be obliged to 90 to
the devil for their soupl and we
sincerely hope it may not be said
Of them that "birds of q feather

patron, must be the devil with
whom they are eating coup.
What an ignoble opinion Mr..
"June Bug" has Of all creation
except himself, and to say the
most for him, he certainly is
keeping bad company. at best.
But by taking a closer look he
calls those poor creatures his fell
low men ; thus, If they are devils,
what does he call himselfl Devil
Of course thus, according to the
story Of tho soup spoons, all man
kind are devils. Come! AIR.

soul whose praisewor,hy deeds

upon yourself more favorably and

1t seems that the barbarous
practice Of duellirg is yet in vogue
in some localities. On Tuesday,
July LIST, a duel was fought near
Montgomery Station, Louisiana,
between ex-Judge Cooley and II.
b. Rhett, Of the New Orleans
Picayune, resulting in the death
ofthe former at the second shot.
The party fought with shotguns
loaded with ball, at distance Of
forty PAGES.
At the first fire Jthett's shot
ranged high, land Cooley shot
the right. The second time Doth
fired simultaneously, and Cooley
fell MORALLY wounded by a ball
entering his left eide and passing
through the heart. He expired
within a few minutes.
1t is said the difficulty grew ont
of an article published in the PIC
ay,tne, and a reply from Judge
Cooley published in tho Times Of
June 9th. The telegraph fe-
port of the matter concludes az
follows: "The gentlemen engaged
in the affair exchanged the usual
civilities after the second fire and
separated with expressions OF mu.
tual respect and consideration"
