A New ORLEANS special says the code
Of honor has been revived there with a
vengeance recently. Last Tuesday night
two Creoles named Rance and Bonligny,
had a personal encounter at the opera
House. and the result was challenge to
mortal combat Meanwhile the quar-
rel was taken up by Andre and Noting
ham for either party, and these two had
A hostile meeting on yesterday. They
fought with swords, and both were woun-
ded, but not seriously. Rance and Bon
ligny, who were locked up on charge
OF contemplating a duel, were released
on bond, and met on the field of honor
Saturday afternoon. They fought at
forty PAGES with rifles, and after the first
fire, neither being hit, the seconds inter
fered and succeeded in adjusting the af-
fair. The next hostile meeting on the
tapis will be between Isaac n. Stout
meyer, editor Of the Times, and George
Dupree, Democrat member Of the House
of Representatives. Matters in this case
have progressed so far that meeting has
been arranged. Rifles are chosen as the
weapons, and the time is fixed for either
Sunday or Monday, but which day it is
impossible to ascertain. The difficulty in
this case originated in publication in
the Times.

A FEMALE VAQUERo.-There is a
young woman in the upper part OF the
country who is Il credi. to her sex. She
does not, like some OF her sisters whom
we read about in the papers occasionally,
plant and harvest Il wheat crop every
year, nor run dairy, chicken farm
and Il hog ranch all at the Same time,
nor does she skipper lumber schooner,
like one who visited this port not long
since, nor even chop cord of wood be-
fore breakfast, nor kill griZZy bears who
prowl around the house when the men
folks are away-she does none OF these
things, and yet her achievements knock
the socks of all the others whom we
have ever read Of. She parsues the dan
gerous and difficult occupation oi va
uuero with skill and success. She can
be seen in the region Of Pleasant Valley,
fving about the hills on horseback, leap
ing yawning chasms and Iavines, and
riding on the precipitour side hills where
an ordinary equestrian would lhlhK I'M
possible for horse to get ioothold.-
She throws the lasso with precision and
can turn the stoutcst bull over on his
back with as much ease as cook would
flop pancake. Contrary to what might
be supposed, She does not ride q td clothes
pin, but in the insecure side saddle fash
ion. This woman whose performances
create deserved enthusiasm in her region
is apparently not over twenty three years
of age. Ii our citizens want to behold
her dexterity with the lasso let them
persuade the Agricultural Fair trustees
to offer premium at the next annual en-
hibition which will induce her TO come
down and display her Accomplishments.
