he heard Ah-Sin, the proprietress of
the house, demanding some mony from
Pat Choy, a Chinese girl residing in the
house. Choy asserted that she did not
have the money, and Ah-Sin told her if
she d1d not give her the money she
would give her dose of opium. Choy
insisted that she did not have the
money, whereupon Ah-Sin dispatched
a Chinaman, Chin-Luck, to the drug
store on the corner of Dupont and CLAY

dissolved quantity of opium in tea

Shooting ARRAY Between Gov. Kellogg
n1.a III and Mai. Burke.
(Signed)

+ A lively shooting ARRAY occurred in
the streets of New Orleans on the 29th
of October between Gov. Kellogg and
one Maj. E. A. Burke, leading Demo
cratic politician. A telegram from that
city furnishes the following particulars
of the affair .s.t s
The correspondence which has been
carried on for the past few days be-
tween Gov. Kellogg and Maj. e. A.
Burke, representing the Naturalization
Committee of the Democratic party, on
the subject of the manner in which the
votes shall be cast of citizens who have
been naturalized before the Second Dis
trict Court, whose jurisdiction for nat
uralization is disputed, came very near
eliminating in tragedy to-day. Gov.
Kellogg's last letter on the subject,
which was published in the evening
papers, states in effect that Maj Burke
had taken roundabout method of
backing down from an agreement which
had been entered into between himself,
Marshal Packard and Maj. Burke at
meeting of the three gentlemen at the
residence of the Governor and closes
by insinuating that the Majors politi-
Cal inclinations were toward the Re.
publicans, and that the knowledge of
this fact by his political associates was
making him over-zealous to place him.
self in q favorable light toward them.
This letter gave Maj. Burke great UNI
bragg, and about 3 o'clock this kafter-
noon, as Gov. Kellogg was riding in his
carriage on his way to his residence, in.
company with Judge Atocha, Mai.
Burke hailed him. The Major went up
to the carriage and struck the Governor
two or three blows with rawhide.
Gov. Kellogg; fred shot at Maj. Burke,
and the Major drew his revolver and.
fred five shots in return. Nobody was
hurt. A gentleman who happened in at
the rooms of the Naturalization Com
mittee shortly after this occurred, found
Maj. Burke quietly writing letter.
On inquiry as to how the trouble hap
pened, Maj. Burke stated that as he
was standing at the corner of Basin and
Canal streets he saw the carriage of
Gov. Kellogg approaching, and, raising
his hand, hailed the Governor. The
carriage stopped, and the Major walked
out into the street and placed one foot
on the step of the carriage. Kellogg
extended his hand, which Burke grasped
with ono hand and pulled the Governor
toward him. With the other hand he
drew rawhide from under his vest and
struck the Governor three times. The
driver whipped his horses, and threw
Burke from the steps. AS the carriage
drove off Kellogg fred a shot from the
rear window, and Burke drew his re-
volver and fred five shots in reply.
Gov. Kellogg drove to his residence,
and Maj. Burke was arrested and taken
to the First Precinct Station. Judge
Atocha called around at the station
shortly after, and ordered his release

Out in the Cold World.

The Dubuque Times relates that the
other night prominent citizen, being
aroused by the fre-bells, rushed to the
door of his house in his night clothes to
see where the fire was. The door was
provided with night lock, and when
he closed it it fastened itself, and there
he was, out in the night, with no way to
get back. His wife was out Of town,
the servants were off to dance, the son
down to the fire. Several desperate
jerks of the bell and frantic pounding
on the door-the more frantic by the
thought that his property on Main
street might be burning or endangered
failed to bring response. Notwith-
standing his cool attire, sweat dropped
from every pore. Just as he had
reached that nearly crazed condition
which would render him unaccountable
for any act, one of the servants came
rushing home. The woman, shocked
at finding her master in SO slightly clad
a condition, put her hands over her
eyes, gave q Slight shrek, and started
quickly away. "Come back here, con-
found you. Let me in /" fairly Kissed
the master. But the woman, now
frightened, ran, and then there was
foot-race, and lively futter the
ghostly garment kept up as a cadence
to the swift flying feet Of the man.
Just as the man had been brought to
sudden stop bya painful bruise of his
foot, and was nursing it with curses
loud and deep, his son put in an ap-
pearance with key.

NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS. 1t is be-
coming clear that narrow guage rail
roads are going to be important factors
in the future development of new coun-
tries. 1t is SAID by expert judges of
the ratio of expense in transportation,
that road of three feet. gauge can
carry five tons of paying freight on each
car as cheaply as the ordinary gauge
road can carry the cars empty. In the
case of the Grand Rapids, Greenville
and Alpena railroad, of Michigan, it is
shown that whereas the 236 miles of
road would cost, if built ON the four
foot eight and one-half inch guage, S.
847, 344, on the plan of the three foot
gauge it would cost only So, sos, 532-a
saving approximating to forty per cent.

Do Docs PERsPIRE PIT is frequently
urged as an argument against the ordi-
nary method of muzzling dogs, that it
closes the mouth, and thereby prevents
perspiration, which, in the dog, is said
to take place only through the mouth.
This, according to Land and Water,
is an error; perspiration going on
through the skin as in other animals.
The idea of perspiratory glands in the
tongue is characterized as absurd, these
organs being only found in the dogs
skin, which is abundantly supplied with
them. The real cruelty of the close or

the number of Protestant divinity
students in old Prussia the past twenty
three-years. In 1851 there were 604,
which number had increased to 1, 180 in

represented by the same figures as in
1851, namely, 604. The total for the
