THE CITY.

1oous y cAOck, as one OF the BULLETIN re-
Porters was strolling in the Garden District,
he was an eyewitness to little scene which
goes to show the spirit Of the father as de-
picted in the son. The boys were pl ying
ball, but for some cause unknown the game
was suddenly brought to close, and a vio-
lent dispute arose between two youths who
bad scarcely numbered eleven summers
Satisfaction was demanded by one, youth of
American blood; but the other, a Creole de-
ciined to enter the ring, suggesting that his
opponent was much the stronger man. At
the same time he did not object to fight with
knives.
The challenge was accepted Lo. and be-
hold! the were produced Ugly weapons for
men, but how much more SO for boys In fact
immense carving instruments had been chosen
to settle the dispute. A line was drawn. The
Creole tOed the mark; but, alas ! America
weakened. and after some hesitation. retired
from the field amid the jeers Of derision flung
after him by his comrades.
During all this, our reporter had remained
at short distance an interested spectator OF
the scene, and when it was brought to d con-
clusiOn, he moralized upon the future Of those
youths and this great though PROSTATE State.
