two white boys named Frank Custer and Ed.
Sebert, We're yesterday discharged by Re
corder Smith.
The two prosecutors did not, think that his
honor had done them justice, so they took the
affair in their own hands, and when Gerter
and Russell put in an appearance on Poydras
street, the two belligerents went for them
with bricks.
The negroes, after being assaulted, returned
to the court and swore out affldavits against
Custer and Siebert, charging them with as
sault and battery with dangerous weapon.
Two court officers were Immediately sent
out to arrest the accused and with but little
trouble soon had them prisoners. While en-
route to the station Seibert asked Officer
Heating to let him go into grocery store
get bondsman. The request was granted,
but In very short time the officer discovered
that his prisoner had given him the slip and
and made his escape through rear door.
Custer was brought to the station, and sent to
the Parish Prison in default of bonds.

son offs we'll known New Yorker who
resided in the Seventh ward Of this
city. He died leaving a large family,
of which Henry was the youngest son.
He entered the Office of a prominent
law firm in this city as an office boy,
and eventually studied for and was adj
mitted to the bar. The ties
of attachment between the late
Mr.. Stewart and himself were
formed through his marriage with
a relative of Mrs. Stewart. One Of
the most generally accepted stores in
the community concerning Henry
Ward Beeeher is that about his re-
puted expression when he entered the
the pulpit on a hot summer night, and,
rising to give out his text, said, Its
damned hot" This is told in great
circumstantial detail, and people have
gone so far as to say they heard him
use the expression, and that after
uttering it he proceeded to say Such,
my friends, was the ~utterance which |
heard from the lips of a young man as
i entered this church tonight, and
then the Plymouth pastor proceeded
to deliver a sermon upon the sin of
swearing. If there was simply Mr..
Beechers denial to contradict this
whole story, that might not be con-
sidered by many people sufficient in
itself, for he has done a good deal of
swearing out of the church and in the
Brooklyn City Court, but so far as
as known his oaths have all been out
side the pulpit. Mr.. Collingswood,
his steneographer, and other trust
worthy persons who have heard all of
his uttarances since he preached his
first sermon in Plymouth Church, ex-
press their willingness to make their
affidavit to the entire falsity Of the
report, asserting that there is not an
iota of truth in it from beginning to
end.

By the bye, speaking of that hysteri-
cal specimen of the Lords stump ora
tor, the Rev. Talmage, no better proof
can be given of his utter ignorance of
the people he tells of as exceeding
wicked than his picture of the rich
mans son who frequents Delmonico's.
He tells us of this youths patent
leather pumps, his oiled ringlets and
diamond pin, kid gloves and heavy
jewelry, and his silk hat hung to the
side of his head.
If such an individual were to ven
ture upon Delmonico's, the alarmed
proprietor would Immediately call in
the police to eject a fellow who,
whether guilty or not, had on the
livery of a pickpocket or a swell-mob.
The gay youth the Rev. Talmage
was attempting to harpoon, with his
vulgar attempts at the sa%tirical, affects
the English style, and wears clothes
that resembles horse blankets cut in
coat and pantaloons. Instead of pumps
holy Moses! pumps-he carries on
his pedal extremities heavy walking
shoes, while his hat is a round felt
affair. The only article about him
that indicates he is not an hostler or
drayman is a huge stick that he car
ries as a cane. Instead of oiled ring
let's, his head has been fairly sand
papered to clear it of all hair. He
carries II eye-glass, whether near
sighted or not, and, although an utter
ly detestable cub, he is not the idiot
