immense house, which was entertained
for nearly three hours with q good bill,
comprising all the principal features Of

PACKARDs Last DESPERATE GAME.
He Plans Sham Battle, Amid Which to
Burn Certain Archives.
THE Democrats to he Charged with the
Deed and the Troops to be Called For.

Yesterday reporter OF the DEMOCRAT,
in certain locality not far from the st.
Louis Hotel, overheard conversation
between two Of the men composing
Packard's body guard. The earnest and
emphatic tone Of these men left nc
doubt on the mind Of our reporter as to
the truth OF what Is now related.
One of the two men said it was resolv-
ed by Packard that inasmuch as nothing
but riot and bloodshed In New Or
leans could bring about his recognition
by President Hayes, and since 1t was
evident the Democrats were determined
to avoid collision and were fixed In
their policy of peace, 1t had become O
matter of life and death to the .Republi-
can cause that sonre bold steps be taken.
Well knowing the utter unwillingness of
his followers to risk their lives In an
attack upon the Democrats, Packard,
which body OF his own followers are
to assemble some night this week at @
late hour, and go through the forms OF
an assault on the State-House, Gre
ating the greatest tumult possible,
and firing volley after yoiley Of
blank cartridges which will be answered
in the same manner from the inside by
the two or three hundred eX-metropo-
litans and negroes, who have been i'm
INJURED in the Hotel since January last.
Amid this preconcerted confusion that
portion of the building containing the
archives of the State, and the books and
accounts of the Treasurer and Auditors
Department, are to be set on fire, where
upon Packard and his gang will raise q
howl of distress and appeal I'd the
Northern heart for sympathy and to
President Hayes for troops to protect
them from the Democrats who, they
will, of course, swear have done 1t all
and are about numbering every Repub-
lican throughout the city.
As sensational as this may appear,
our reporter vouches for its authenti-
city, and we think it really worth publi-
cation, so that by the timely exposure Of
this contemplated scouudrelism we may
be prepared for its Instantaneous frus-
tration.

FIELD SPORTS AND consequences.

We have always considered pigeon
shooting by experienced sportsmen as
play unworthy of the actors, and as
rendering the principals amenable to
the law which is supposed to prevent
cruelty to animals, but which, like most
laws, entirely fails of its object. We
are glad to see that our sporting men
are turning their attention to higher
and nobler game, and taking q new de-
parture, are devoting their energies to
field sports.
The New Orleans Gun Club has given
the lead in this Reform movement, and
on last Saturday evening two bands Of
nine sportsmen each, all crack shots,
their own field and game, to see which
would score the m ost points, the points
to be counted by the size and quality of
the game. Mr.. J. X. Renaud and Louis
Hall were the respective captains OF the
| friendly and antagonistic teams, and
both commands did their duty nobly.
Innumerable snipe, shot on the acct
denied prairies, fell victims to the
hunters murderous shot, and there was
deep mourning in the family Of ducks.
The wild turkeys suffered, and even, as
| we understand, the gentle alligator
gave up his placid life to the ferocity Of
our Nimrods.
We are not much given to mathe-
MATES, but, we have been given to
understand that the team under Capt.
| Halls leadership won the day, by
scoring given number Of points
above Capt. kenaud's team.
| The upshot of all this shooting was a
splendid dinner, quorum, pdrs n,ogna
fui, the basis OF which was made up Of
the sacrificed game, the losing team
paying expenses, and we must say
that the affair was a success.
Marchal, Of Union street notoriety,
was the grand priest who ofdciated and
saw that the victims were properly
cooked, and representative OF the
DEMOCRAT, after sarnpling the viands,
now pronounces them excellent and q
fitting Offering to the guests in attend
ance.
It would be impossible to 90 through
the entire bill Of fare provided by the
hunters, but, as a faithful historian, we
must mention, as feature Of the Sar-
danapalic feast, wild turkey, within
which was blue winged teal duck, en-
closing snipe, into whose Fearful hol-
low" was robin stuffed with trutfles:
Many toasts were drank to General
Nichols, the N. o. DEMOCRAT. etc., etc.
Many good things were said, and the
party broke up, highly elated 1--WE mean
morally and intellectually in hopes
that such successful field game exper-
iment may have many repetitions.
! Appended we give the result OF the
shooting exploits Of our hunters &C.
cording to the established fashion OF
scoring:

The st. Louis Insane Asylum.

No new developments at Packard's
headquarters yesterday.
1t is understood that the light lumber
or a portion of it, which has been taken
into the building was for the purpose Of
constructing sleeping hunks for the one
thousand men in buckram, said to be
concealed somewhere in the hotel.
The digging in the yard, in the rear
of the late Auditors office, is attributed
to an instructive desire OF the Packard
men 10 stink into their holes.

A Nuisance to be Abated.

The crowds of oilers who assemble In
the vicinity of the st. Louis Hotel, and
particularly ON Royal street, without
business or reason whatsoever, are an
intolerable nuisance. They intercept
the circulation, interfere with the
trades people of the locality, and should
by all means be made to Circulate.

Capture of Four DesperadOes.

A special from st. Louis says For
some time past band of robbers have
been operating in White and Wabash
counties, Ill. Stores and residences have
been pillaged, valuable horses stolen, and
it is believed that in more than one instance
murder has been committed. The band
has been under the leadership of Bent"
McClain, noted desperate.
BY some means Sheriff Michaels, of
Wabash county, learned that McClain had
formed plot to visit the home of Philan-
der Gould, wealthy citizen, on the night
of October 4th, and rob his house, in which
there was supposed to be large amount of
money. The sheriff Immediately summon
ed posse of ten trusty men and proceeded
TO Gould's house, and after posting sem
tinel on the outside and secreting the re-
mainder of the company on the inside of
the house, with Sheriff Michaels in Mr..
Gould's bed, they awaited the arrival of the
robbers.
They had not loug to wait, for at about
$50 O'Clock four men put in an appearance
disguised with long black gowns and black
wells, and Immediately rushed up the walk
leading to the front door. The door was
broken in and an entrance effected. They
approached the bed and ordered Gould to
open his safe, swearing they had come to
rob him, and that he had better surrender
just then the guards upon the outside
pushed in upon them and three of the rob-
bers were captured with but little resist
ance, but the fourth one, " Bent McClain
himself drew pistol, fired on the sheriff,
rushed through the crowd and escaped.
The three men proved to be William Keen
and two brothers named Shipley, all des-
perate characters and outlaws. The next
morning McClain was captured, and all
four robbers are now in Jail at Albion, Ill.

Hard to Please.

A curious elopement took place in
England the other day. An old gentleman
ran away with a young girl, and to the
great disgust of her parents the couple were
not caught until they were safely married,
and all the indignant papa could do was to
upbraid his daughter for marrying man
old enough to be her father, much older,
indeed, than hewas himself. A few weeks
of happiness, or the reverse, with her aged
adorer, proved enough for the young bride,
who incontinently ran away again with a
young fellow she met at foreign watering
place. There was, of course, great scan
dal, and her father came once more to up
braid her with the enormity of her behavior.
"Really, papa" said the unreasonable
young person, " there is no pleasing you !;
you told me before you would not have
minded if it had been young man, and
and now when ] have chosen young man
you are just as angry?"
The father was disgusted with her moral
obliquity and left her to her fate.

Animated Beer Barrels.

The London Examiner says: The
statistics of the Military Prison at Ober-
baus, in Bavaria, contain some curious in
formation as to the capacity of the Bava-
rian soldier for beer. One, an artilleryman
who was discharged for lung disease, said
that twenty quarts did not exactly hurt
him. A second, mason by profession,
said: +" never count up to more than ten
or twelve quarts, but after that it goes
quickly = and third was of opinion that,
if he could get it. he would drink twenty
eight quarts day and not feelit Another
exclaimed Indignantly that he was not
drunk, for he had only had eight quarts !;
while one, regular ha6itue, Of the prison
insisted that he was no blackguard, but he
did like drinking.

Giving a mlscreant his Due.

An Iowa exchange says: A few nights
ago w. K. Baxter, of Mt. Ayr, attempted
an assault on Mrs. Sutley. She rebufed
him, and her husband had him arrested
Baxter, in retaliation, caused the arrest of
Sutley on charge of larceny committed in
Illinois, and Sutley was removed to the
place of the alleged crime. This left Mrs.
Sutley alone, and Baxter renewed his at
tempt. He visited the house Saturday
night, raised a window, and was in the act
of crawling into her room, when she awoke
and, taking revolver from under her pill
low, gave the intruder it's contents. Tho
ball entered his head at one ear and lodged
near the other. He is not dead yet. Mrs.
Sutley was not arrested, as public opinion
is that she served him right.
