Boys, when you sport you must deport
yourselves with circumspection. Louis
Soullier, Eugene Tenson and Pat Nor
rison, three youths ranging in age from
eleven to sixteen, were found atloat in
the river at the head of Louisa street,
at 5 40 Sunday evening, by officer
Dunetry. They were towed into the
Fifth Precinct Station to answer.
Mary Campbell, gushing female OF
fifty summers, chose mother earth for
bed last night, and her covering was the
canopy Of heaven. Officer Clarisse fear
ing that the mosquitoes might trouble
her, invited her into the Central Sta
tionhouse.
Strait got on tearing drunk last
night, disturbed the peace, and then at
tempted to burn down his own house,
which is situated on Terpsichore street,
between Locust and Magnolia, all this
being against the peace and dignity OF
the State. Strait was pulled by Officer
Malabre and lodged In the Sixth Pre-
cinct.
At the request Of J. J. Foley, Martha
Williams spent Sunday night in cell
at the Second Precinct on charge OF
larceny. 1t appears that Martha. is

About a quarter past o'clock las,
evening, the multitude OF human bees
that usually throng Canal street on q
Sunday evening, were thrown into quite
CONSERVATION by the report Of seven
pistol shots, fired in rapid succession,
at the corner of Canal and Bourbon
streets. On Fastening to the scene, it
was discovered that Mr.. Frank Lefeaux,
OF Villere street. and, it is said, a Mr.
Wallace, deputy sheriff Of the
Superior Criminal Court, had chosen
that place to settle an alterca'
ton. During the firing Mr..
Lefeaux received a shot which tore his
pants, but fortunately did not enter his
body. He, believing anyhow that his
time had come, jumped into cab, and

his wounds. After an examination, the
physician told him that his Sunday
pants were ruined but that he was not
/ hurt.
The two combatants, after the firing,
started to club their weapons, but the
police putting in an appearance, Wallace
fled down Bourbon street and LefeauS
repaired to the hospital, as above stated
Our reporter interviewed MI. Lefeaux
but he refuses to make statement, and
says that he would not have it get into
the newspapers under any circum
stances. 1t was rumored on Canal street
last evening that a woman was at the
bottom Of the difficulty.
About o'clock this morning young
girl named Mary Kendall, aged eighteen
years. while laboring under a temporary
| fit of insanity, attempted to commil
suicide at her residence, No. 135 Cypres:

condition.

RADICAL CONVENTION NOTES.
FOURTH ooNaerssrouAI, prsrRrcr.

FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
A caucus OF the delegates from the
Fourth Congressional District WAS held
this morning at tho State House and the
following nominations made.
Members OF the State Central Execu-
tive Committee r. Blunt, OF Natchi-
toches; W. Harper, Of Caddo; G. Y.
Kelso, OF Rapides, and G.. w. Baker, OF
Bossier.
Recommended to tho chair as mem
bers of the Committee for the State ut
large: II. g. Myers and G. q. Antoine.
Eector A. b. Leyises, of Caddo; J.
DeLacy, OF Rapides, alternate.
THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
The delegates from the Tbixd Con
gressional District met In the Senate
Chamber and tried to go into the nomi-
nation of a candidate for Congress, and
other officers, judicial and political, but,
after some debate, adjourned until y
O'Clock this evening.
CHANCES.
Little change in the chances of the
various candidates; Warmoth' s., per
haps. slightly improved. Badger Is
looming up as an available second
choice. He has n stftIewhat better
record than most Of the others and few
er personal enemies, and fuIlllls the cry
Of all the delegates for q man of eour-
age aud determination, ready TO protect
their lives.
The following are the figures claimed
by the friends Of the various candidates
for them Anderson. So Packard, Is
Ludeling, 60; Warmoth, 60. Allowing
% for Badger, Beattie and scattering,
this would make about 300 votes, 60
more than the Convention is entitled to.
However. IL is not at all improbable
that under the ballot system the number
Of votes discovered In the box may
amount to 800, and thus prevent any
legal ballot to-day. It will be almost
impossible to get a fair ballot to-day or
any other time.

An ingenious youth has conceived the
idea of running Il potatoe vine from n
yard on st. Ann street, near the corner
of Bourbon, TO one Of the fire alarm
telegraph wires OF the neighborhood.
The idea is neat and novel and gives
the slender vine the appearance of
climbing up perpendicularly without
any support, whereas it runs up fine
string thrown over the wire and leading
to the ground unfortunately 1t may in
terfere with the working OF the line.

When Mr.. Bristow took leave OF the
President and Cabinet, he was treated
with the scantiest civility. Grant was
even rude in his manner and bearing,
and the time-servers around the table
took the tone OF their master. None OF
the customary courtesies were offered
to the retiring Secretary, and he left
Washington without even being asked
to dinner by any of the concern.
Fish and Jewell, who pretended to be
his friends while in office, turned their
backs upon him when he returned to
private life, while Robeson, Chandler
and Cameron rejoiced with exceeding
Joy at being released from colleague
in whose presence they were always un-
comfortable, and whose official action
they could never control.
II Mr.. Bristow had resigned promptly
in January, 1875, when Grant revoked
his memorable order in obedience to the
wishes of the Whisky Ring, represented
by Mcdonald and his allies in the Sen
ate and House, ne would have acquired
commanding position and could have
dictated his terms. That opportunity
was thrown away, and Mr.. Bristow Is
not likely to have it repeated In any
other form.

The Reason why.
TGen. Pleasanton.l

Males abound in negative electricity.
females in positive electricity. Hence
they are naturally attracted to each
other. But that is not all. They are
thus attracted to begin with, but after
they are united then comes repulsion
again. That is the foundation OF matri-
monial unhappiness; and some way to
re-electrify people, restore the electric
equilibrium, would bring re-establlsh-
ment of domestic happiness.
