MONSTER MEI.oN.--We were very much
surprised yesterday morning, on entering our
sanctum, to find upon our table an imm ense
watermelon, placed there through the kind
ness of our old comrade in arms Capt. W. T..
Vaudry. The captain knows full well how,
in olden days, we evidenced such fondness
for good things in the way of fruit and
doubtless thought that this monster melon
would be an acceptable gift. His idea was
very right, and acknowledging the kindness
We return thanks to our generous friend.
The melon weighs nearly sirty pounds, and is
from the plantation of j. v. Sever, ESQ.,, in
Tensas parish. Who else in the State raises
such splendid specimens?
The tribe OF sharpers are continually in
venting new tricks which become known to
the public after the fraternity have worn them
out and cast them of. Cer:ain New York
scamps profess to be engaged in the real
estate business, and operate as follows: A
place is selected in a respectable neighbor-
hood, and an advertisement is published
Offering to loan money at low rates, and to
transact real estate business. When applica.
ton is made, the low rate of interest flour
per cent? is the decoy by which the gull is
made anxious to negotiate. The lender pro-
poses payment Of twenty to forty dollars to
indemnify for the investigation of titles. A
receipt for this money is given, returnable
when the question of title is settled. By
various devices the report on titles is deferred
until the game bag is filed. Then they
change their quarters and advertise under a
new name

have been accidental, although the men

in the melee the weapon was discharged,
Both men are said To have been intUxi-
