LOUISIANA CONGRESSMEN.

An item from the New Orleans City
Item OF. the 18th reads thus s--,,
A run1or Ii current THAT 4 q duel Wilt
take place ere long between Congress
men King and Acklen, growing out
of the squabble which the House Com
mittee ON Foreign Relations is now
investigating. '''''>
For the information of Gen. King,
we copy the following, which is an ex-
tract from q, Washington contribution
to the Forest and. stream Of the lbth:t
Mr.. Acklen is one Of the very few
gentlemen in Washington who now
owns regulation duelling pistols. They
can be loaded either from the breech
or the muzzle, 80 as fully to, comply
with all the regulations of the code.
The barrels are about a foot long, .3s
calibre, and two-pounds pull of trigger.
These pistols have never been used in
the field, although they were spoken
for last winter at the time Senators
Conkling and Lamar had their wordy
difficulty on the floor of the Senate.
The insulting language used by these
Senators was afterwards recalled, salts
factorily to both gentlemen. Mr.. Acklen
is an expert shot with the pistol. The
two duelling pistols cost Mr.. Acklen in
England 1915.
When Mr.. Acklen gets out his regu-
lation pistols, Gen. King will be ex-
pected to run out his heaviest artillery.

An attempt was made to burglarize
Sam Kuhn's bank on the night of the
5th. The burglar had cut a hole in
the back window-shutter, so as to
reach the bolt; but Mr.. Newhouser dis
covered what had been done, and sat
up throughout the night on watch.
The rascal probably found this out,
and abandoned the job.

Street Life In Venice.

N Venicc's great impression ls its street life
80 brilliant, 80 highly. colorcd, so unlike
THAT of any other city The commonplace
shows of the guide books are fiat and disap-
pointing; the prisons, dungeons, Bridge of
'Sighs,t etc. & The schoolgirls glamour
thrown over these places is mainly traceablc
! to Byron's sentimental wash of verse The
unbalanced poets judgement on the historic
events of Venice is about as weak and vicious
as his judgement OH others matters, and his
ignorance of fact is appalling. The daily
picture Of all Venice, however, is something
of which one never tires, and which changes
with every hour. Gondola life rs some
thing deiciously dreamy and luxurious
in the soft light Of day or under the sheen
of moon and starlight. Lot dark night
como and rain, however, and these long,
narrow, deep, black boats, seen mystcrionsy
from the fair point of light on their brow,
take in themselves the likeness of floating
coflins. stcered by the shades. The effect is
indescribably sepulchral. You seem to bo
alone in the waters Of Hades among the
spirits. The gondolas are all Ola funeral
black. painted black, carved in black,
with black draperics over the dark cabin
Many centuries ago Venetian law. ordered
this pattern and color, for what reason do
not know. The laws in Venice do not
change, ard the gondolas are all black and
ghoslly to this day, The streets are very
narrow and blaze with light. Their mar
rowncss-sometimes not over three feet
makes very little light to serve to brilliant
ly illuminate them, and the jets in the shop
windows, kept open until late at night,
keep them bright and blazing almost with
out the outdoor lamps. Through them the
people surge in constant streams-all nat
ions, all classes, all colors. You study the
world, but even tho Venetians themselves
present some strong contrasts, for they in
time are made up of the blood of many
people. One striking contrast, which you
soon note, is that the Venetian men as q
body are dark, their women blonde. The
sounds, too, are polyglotta, and everything
is international.
