Our envoy ex.yaordina who usually
furnishes us v .th the score of the shooting
club, failed for some ulCccou ntablc reason,
to put in an appearance Tuesday night.
We are unable to assign cause for Ills.
The base insinuation that he id not shoot
quite up to the mark at Tuesdays meeting
is utterly without Foundation, because he is
not member Of the club, is too timid to
have anything to do with Il death dealt 2
instrument, and would not know ramrod
from a cane brigade The meeting was,
however, notable one. Mr.. Hcr'y l..
Halliday did not score miss out of his
twenty shotS--a good showing for IN IN
pret"ntous marksmGn.
We saw him yesterday. and he is ou.,
by right of discovery. He just stepped
from the ftgyboat Three States, and our
first impressions were that it was O'Doa-
oyan Rosa, or SOM other in-cpid Fcr'an
chfetan But IN tbs case first impressions
were at fault. II WAS not a FeniAn-
blood Thirsty or otheIa Sc. His mission
was one Of love. He came from Kentucky
and was hunting amagistrate who would wed
him to his companicn--a woman. He
wore a green ncck-t.e about the size of a.
marshal's sash on ST. Pat
rick's day parade, Of an uncomprlsing
shade OF color, fastened at the neck with
a gutta-pcrcha ring and sprigs of what
looked to our unpractised eyes as dog-ten-
mel. That tie may not have counted
for much in Cairo, but We venture TO
assert that in the Purchase" it filled |
many rural rooster with envy, while it
thrilled with pride the souls o. h, fair
admirers, His bride was conquest of
the tie; she appeared devoted to it, as she
walked by h's side, fondling the beau.
ful ornament with her dainty fingers.
johnson Fisher thought it his duty to
keep watchful eye upon the movements of
two colored sisters at the circus on 7 lesday
night last His actions at last became so |
that he was warned T. dcsist. |
but he refused to heed the warn NJ, and cx- |
pressed his Indignation at what he concciy.
to be their reprchensiblc conduct in en-
phatic language, This led to a war Of |.
words IN which the women proved them |
selves the equals OF Dublin fshmongcrs
in the use of biiGG, cate. Of /
course Johnson was worstcd in this |
sort Of warfare, he became ey-
aspeIatcd, lost tempe, and fe TO blows !
The women did not faint, or cream. cal
for the police or shout murder. They lust
fought; and by the time tlc combat was
concluded Mr.. Johrson. wished he he'd
never been bo.n. To add to h, oublcs
he was a0tc.ward arrcstc' led before
Justice Robson yesterday morning on a
