apeake restaurant, on Pennsylvania avenue, near

charging ]. E. Taylor, the expire fighter, who
recently performed at the Theatre Comique, with
assault and battery. The warrant was placed in
the hands Of Oficer Henkle, who arrested Taylor,
who gave bail for his appearance at the Police
the settlement Of bill, during which Taylor be-
came very abusive, and caught Supplee by the
throat and handled him In manner other than
agreeable The affair has caused considerable
comment, as Taylor has always been considered
a Quiet. peaceful man. Prof. Taylor was about
leaving the city at the time Of his arrest.

SMASHED,

TWO HORSES BADLY CUT AND A BUGGY
SMASHED.
Yesterday afternoon about $50 O'Clock two
young men, named VIM. BOder and John Mobrey,
somewhat under the influence of liquor, hired a
horse and no-top buggy from Burgdorf Brothers,
livery stablemen, for the purpose Of taking q
drive, but were in a condition that rendered them
incapable Of managing themselves, much less q
horse. While they were passing out Fourteenth
street and approaching X street funeral cortege
was passing, and, disregarding the solemnity OF
the occasion, they attempted to push through,
when the pole Of carriage belonging to DIR.
WanstaIt caught in one Of the wheels, breaking
it down. This frightened the horses, and they
plunged in and around the buggy until 1t was
shattered to atoms. Both the animals were badly
cut about the tanks and stomaA, and when they
reached the stable had to have the cuts seWed up.
One of the occupants Of the buggy, named BOder,
was thrown out and severely injured about the
head. Oficer Thompson arrested and took them
70 the Sixth precinct station, where they refused
for some time to tell their names or the owner Of
the hired team, but finally gave the necessary IN
formation. Boder, on account OF his injuries, was
allowed TO depart by giving security for his ap-
pearance to-day, while MObrey was locked until
this morning.

CALVARY BAPTIST EXCURSION.

The parents and children connected with the
Calvary Baptist Sunday school, together with a
large number from the mission schools, went
down the river Saturday on the new steamer
Mary Washington, which left her wharf at 10
o'clock. The sail down the river was all that
could be desired. Arriving at her wharf Just
below Mount VERNON at noon, the happy COM
pany scattered in various directions to spread the
cloth and satisfy the inner man. Judging from
the quantities OF baskets, tubs &C., that were
taken ashore, we presume ample justice was done
to this part of the programme. At $50 o'clock
the whistle called call handssn aboard, and the
steamer was soon homeward bound. Upon leav-
ing the boat everybody voted this excursion
grand success. Capt. Greggs is the right man in
the right place, and we advise our friends who

such sanctions were found effectual.
That the decisions of these courts of
love should square with our notions of
morality we should not expect any
more than we should be prepared to find
in Tennyson or Browning the imagery of
Bertrand de Born or Jauffre de Rudel.
The very questions proposed, though
comprehended under the elastic cate
CORY of gallantry, would in the present
day be relegated in many cases to less
respectable one. The effort has been
made at different times to revive the
theory and practice of these courts of
love. 1t was attempted during the resi-
dence of the popes at Avignon, and hon
est old Nostradamus applies very plain
epithet indeed to the ladies who com
posed that court. Cardinal Richelieu

restore the faded glories of the courts of
love in the Assem- blee galante at Ruel
His own tenson on love was in every
respect worthy to be the swan.song of
this institution, which died out appro-
priately with the growth OF better taste
and more wholesome morality.
