The Manly Art of Self Defe. Sc.
A little before o'clock last evening two
steamboatmen, having, no doubt, few idle
moments, took it into their heads to amuse
themselves on tho Mace and Allen principle.
This little scene was pitched on the corner
of Canal and Royal streets, and the style in
which the pugilists went for one another
was certainly deserving of more than a
passing notice. However, fate willed that
the passage at arms should suddenly be
brought to a close, for d gentleman of pre-
possessing appearance, dressed in suit Of
dark blue, the coat being set off with brass
buttons, suddenly interviewed and requested
them to desist, at tho same time remarking
that most excellent whisky was to be found
in the Third Precinct Police Station.
And Yet Again:
About 7:3O o'clock, Monday eveing, the
grocery store at the corner of Annette and
Claiborne streets, was entered by two par
ties who called for drinks, and after having
received the same declined to pay, though
the lady who was in attendance behind the
bar requested in most polite terms the
money for the same. She was answered in
most insulting and abusive language, not
only from said men, but also from parties
outside in a wagon. Two officers of the
law, Ricard and John Brooks, are mep
toned as having had a hand in this affair.
Capt. Joseph, to whom the lady reported,
did all in his power to bring the officers to
reckoning, but we have not yet heard
whether they have been meted out their
just dues.
Brass Knuckled.
Eight o'clock last evening difficulty oc-
Cured back of town between two cOlOred
