right OF the spinal column, and to such q
depth that the right lung has been penetrated.
The police have searched high and low for
this fugitive but without success. and have
come to the conclusion that he Is hiding away
in some house until he learns whether his vic
tim will live or die If he should live Daily
may crawl out of his lair and throw himself
upon his country for trial. IT. on the other
hand he should die, Daily may make arrange

moose would be pretty near around his neck,

porter of this paper are given in court.
Foley says he does not know whether he
will prosecute the accused or not for the reason
out Of the bed he is now lying in. He says
that DAILY acted cowardly when he plunged
the knife into him for the reason that he was
going into a saloon to take drink. and tn t
his back was to him, and further alleged that
this was not the first time that DAILY has
stabbed men without cause or provocation
and in a cowardly manner.

THE nous EHOLD.

The Lenten regimen may be observed in
New Orleans with less Inconvenience to the
family caterer than anywhere else, perhaps.
In the country. Indeed, our tables are de-
prived Of almost nothing in the exclusion
from them of all flesh, for the reason that
there is not a market In the Union more
abundantly supplied with fish, and these OF
lnedualed excellence, nor one where butchers
meat is Of such inferior quality and SO expen-
sive. We have four kinds Of fish here all the
year round-the eroaker. sheephead, reddish
and red snapper-which satisfy every demand
of taste that fish food can supply and each Of
them is, Of its kind, the very best that
ever was put upon table. Besides these,
we have, in season, the trout, pompano and
Spanish nrckerel, which are the most dainty
favored of the finny tribe. J,istnow the fish OF
the season Is the shad. Of which we have eaten
several times lately, and they are very fine
indeed. In flavor they have q reminder Of the
Spanish maokerel; but, though a fish Of wider
fame we think 1t not nearly SO good a one.
Yet, we would advise no one to let the season
pass without at least one good mess OF shad
Broiled, like the sheephead or pompano with
q drop OF lemon, they are most delicious. It
Is a morsel that well deserves even bottle Of
the best Chablis as an accompaniment, and we
know of no higher testimony we can bear to
the flavor Of any fish than is conveyed in this
observation. The aseetic who can't manage
to keep Lent and yet be cheerful on such
fare will be hard to please indeed
IL is SO seldom, indeed that we find really

journal that we cannot resist reproducing
the following, which appeared in late num-
Der of Harper's Bnsnr 1t contains many
