Ut Is strange vet trne. that as a rule il Is the
brightest intellects, the best members of So
ciety that become addicted TO this diseased appe-
tite. A habit which makes them slaves, be-
clouds their minds, ruins their dispositions, and
gives them in their more natural moments a
hatred OF self as well as feeling that everybody
despises them--to such an extent that society
has no charms. But thanks TO the Giyer of all

THE OTHER S1DE.-We have been
informed by several very reliable per-
sons that our statement Of the Blattner-
Burkett difficulty, in the 9th ward, ws'
not exactly according to facts. We
give the other eide OF the affair cheer
fully as we have no desire whatever
to give colored or distorted statements
in regard to local events, be the parties
concerned rich or poor, high or low In
the fret place it ia stated that VIM
Blattner, the unfortunate young man
who is now lying st the point Of death
went to the saloon where the shooting
took place for the purpose OF getting his
brother John home, and preventing 8
disturbance. That he has always been
quiet and inoffensiye, aud never been
mixed up in any difficulty before but
has always acted and behaved as gems
tleman. It lie also positively stated
that Mrs. Marsh was not struck or IN
any way injured, and that when Will
liam Blatuer was shot, he was IN the
door and abou! to lesye the saloon.
We make this statement IN justice 70
all parties concerned.

by Judge Cochran, aud for about az
hour and . half held the large audi
ence in rapt attention. There was moth
ing new in what Mr.. Cough said, in
fact come very old stories were told, but
be seems gifted 10 this respect, as he
can make an assemblsge OF people laugh
or lool; serious, just IS he has q mind
to. His power consists in being an &C.
tor as well IS an orator. If the lecture
he delivered last night were to be print"
ed and read, we opine it would be q
very stupid affair, judging it from q
literary or any other etand point;
However, lie pleased the people and
that Was all that was necessary.
