Bazaine's Imprisonment.

Marshal Bazaine, contrary to what is gen
orally, thought, is undergoing real and 80
we're detention. He is confined within the
tort, and has but the terrace on which 70

forbidden ground to him. He has no garden
at his disposal. as has been reported, with
the exception of few trees and flowers Oh

may leave the fort when she pleases, ssIs
the London Times, so may NJ. Bazaine's aid
de-camp, but they need special commission
from the Minister of the Interior TO re-
enter the fort. Hence Nine. Bazaine stars
as long in the prison as possible. The view
is extensive only from the terrace, whence
the open sea may be discovered. There !
not sufficient fresh water in the island ana
small boat, which serves to communicate
with the coast, brings over the quantity
necessary. The ex-Marshal at first suffered
great deal from this scarcity of water. Hs
was obliged to reduce his baths in order 70
water the flowers on the terrace. Hence
the ald-de-camp had to go to Paris to ~
mat more abundant supplyof fresh water
might be brought from the mainland, are are
quest which was at once granted, to- ho

ARRAY Between a Priest and a Laymano

About half-past eight O'Clock last evening
very unseemly fracas occurred on Walnut
street, opposite the cathedral, in which
Father McEvOy, in charge of the cathedral
parish, and a man whose name could not
De learned were the parties. The account
OF an eyewitness CT the affair was as fol-
lows: Father McEvoy and another priest
were standing in front of the cathedral oe
SIDE buggy, and man on the opposite
side OF the street was using scurrilous Ian:
guage to Father McEvoy. The latter and
his companion jumped into the buggy and
drove Oft. and being gone about long
enough to have driven around the square,
drew up again at the place where the buggy
had formerly stood. Father McEvoy got
out and crossed the street, bearing in bis
hand whip with loaded handle, and en-.
tered the store where the man who had
abused him had taken refuge. For time
pom parties were out of view of our
informant; but the noise of a scuttie was
audible, and moment afterward Father
McEvoy came out, holding the whip by the
small end, as if be had used the butt 70
strike with. A woman ran out and seisd
hold OF the whip, saying, THAT is pretty
way Tor priest to act" He replied, "Yes,
am priest; but will knock down any
man who insults me-" Father McEvoy
walked across the street with the woman
stlli holding to the whip and telling him
ina. H. ne dld not go away and behave him
self she would have him arrested. He tber
went away, and IN moment afterward b.
antagonist came out of the store bareheaded
anu showing two gashes in his scalp. Hf,
too, went OFF, and that was the end of tho
affair; Father McEvoy says the man ID.
suited him without any cause known 70

The Monte King.

There was published in the Inter- Ocean of
Saturday last an article, clipped from a
Western paper, headed 'sRobbers of the
Kali" which discoursed IN very good style
upon the monte gamblers who ''work' along
the Pacific railways. One OF the parties
mentioned in it was William Jones, Of Oma.

tlOnal reputation as Canada Bill" He ia
known among his class as "The Monte King. !"
and is doubtless the most skillful and sue

they not been interrupted, he would have
lost the money.
Jones is power in the city he has made
his home; owns three hotels and number

as decoys or "cappers." His operations are
bold and almost invariably successful. OnIv
once IN his life, so far as it is known. did

nands OF an Iowa farmer, who deluded him
into paying for wagon load of cheese one
DAY IN Council Bluffs. The aroma of that
cheese still clings to him, and is the
one sore spot in his memory M
one can touch without rufflinS his
temper. The Omaha Herald about two
years since, inaugurated a war against
the gamblers, and attacked Jones as the
most proment figure among them. His mis-.
deeds were so raked up and paraded under
