been much remarked, and Plus TX. was

idea of ordering this chair, has been

That person il was-we will not name
her--who ordered the chair in Paris.
Cardinal de Falloux saw it before il was

that the cloth with which it was cover.

Hazing Is not restricted to our coli

who practice it whenever occasion and
u suitable subject presents itself. Last
Wednesday, there arrived In the city

suasion, all the way from New Yorh

sorts of snuff, in any and all countries
lie registered at one Of our principal
hotels, and began systematic blowing
of how much he knew. He essayed to
teach Them few tricks In card play
ing, which they pretended to be gross.
ly ignorant, but with u knowledge OF
which they had been enabled to get
out OF manya tight place, when the
last dollar was up, The drummer's
vanity seemed to have no bounds,
and the boys determined to
take the starch out OF him,
it was proposed that they should run
him, which proposition was unaui-
moLsly accepted by these four loving
young men. One OF the number Guilt
waited his acquaintance ra her exten
sively, and last night, everything De-
ing Ia readiness, the cultivating party
proposed to him to take walk, which
was Willingly and innocently consen-
ted to. The others, who were to do
the sham shooting, preceded the two,
lying hid along Mckinney avenue.
While walking along in converse

mers companion fell to the ground,
and cried out that he was shot. He
made for the city at the rate of two
forty, and considering his corpulency,
covered himself with glory in the
race Arriving at his hotel he told the
night clerk that his friend had
been foully murdered, but the clerk
was in with the boys and knew better,
though affecting great alarm. Pres
entity bogus officer tapped him on
the shoulder, telling him he was his
prisoner. The amazement OF the leu
ton knew no bounds when the officer
told him he was charged by his friend
with having attempted his life while
out walking. The man, who played
wounded to perfection, was brought 10,
and, pointing his finger at his victim,
said, in husky voice, "That is the
