one regard the women OF Iceland have obtained
complcter equality than their sisters in Cont
mental Europe. They receive exactly the same
education as the men do. There are no schoolo
in the islands, naturally, as families lire mostly

tcrs alike and together, tho prlest-where
there is priest-sonetimes adding little

parents can teach hor. and ia as good an arith-
meticlan and as familiar with the SaEas as

pretty well out Of tho question; painting, not
only from the difficulty Of procuring materials,

and the result was that an innocent gentle
man was maltrested by not only one, but
vdlvers were drawn. and the crowd did
prevent the arrest Of the originator of the
disturbance. If he had been taken in Gus

remain so long. for the unlucky victim sent

it. All sfterward learned that the gentle
man was entirely innocent, never having
offended the young ladies or even seen
them, but his bruises are n9t healed by that

MORE ITALIAN BLOOD SPlLLED-Last
evening Salvatore Chico and Matho Girago
settled their difficulties in the old fashioned
style. GiragO held q grudge against Saliva
dore. and when the two met in the yard Of
No. 236 Old Levee street, the first named
pulled out an old fashioned horse pistol,
and blazed away, TIE first shot killing
Chico on the instant. 1t is the old story
over again, Italian revenge; and there will
never be any explanation. Girsgo managed
to escape, but it is possible that he will be
arrested soon.

than is gwen to each steamer in this de-

hand engine and two hook and ladder com.
