There vas An interesting little occur
/ renee in New Orleans a few days ago
| Governor Nichols was approached in his
! Office by George W. Dupre, Of the PicGyune,
! who wanted to talk about the printing con-
| tract. As the Governor Wss somewhat
peppeTy, ET. Dupre exclaimed The
/ only answer I could make you would be to
! slap your face, but as you are cripple l
cannot do it." Dir, Dupre was urged to
retire, And yet there are people who are
! wondering Why Nichols wants to resign.
The refrain OF Kiugsley's sad song,
| "Men must work aud women must weep, "
has mournful illustration, says the Phil
adelphis- Record in the supposed disaster
! to the Gloucester fishing fleet. Thirteen
| schooHsrs have probably gone down in the
| February gales, carrying with them l45
/ men, and making % widows and l3I OF
phans. 1t is possible that some Of them
may yet be heard from, but the hope is 4
| faint ono. 1t makes ones heart ache to
/ sbink OF the longing looks which viii be
cast over the summer ocean ''foT those WhC
will never come back to the town"

before the police court to-morrow, it being

a breach Cf the peace. The difficulty orig
mated in angry words between the two
gentlemen in the Circuit Court room to day
during the trial Of the case Of the Com
T monwealth against General johnson, il
, which hr Forbes is assistant counsel oil
