The New Orleans barkeeper wto was
shot and killed by negro lost bis liz,
fQpabout AS small reason as any on rec
ord the quarrel between the two men
'A6Gng b. eli over ten cents. Probably,
bo0ever, the real cause Of the crime
was the fact that the murderer carried
a pistol. To the repreheDsible and gen.
orally' senseless habit Of carrying con-
cealed weapons, is to be attributed
more than half the murders that occur.
Men who quarrel have seldom any hest
tation about using any weapons they
have at command. When their entire
armory consists of fists and tongues,
the latter are likely to do all the bust
ness, for to strike with the fist may bring
harder blow in return; but the pistol
at short range is so safe and effective
that. the hand literally itches for it. and
thousands of quarrels have proved that
even am ong gentlemen, the mere habit
of carrying arms is just as likely to re-
suit disa>trOusly rs if one party to dis
pute were barkeerer and the other a
negro.

The evening parties at the Chinese En-

wore short yellow robe a red coral
button ornamented his cap, while two
ta.ls protruded at the back of it. The
marquise was seated. with her little boy
of FIVE, at the end of the salon, and was
surrounded by European ladies. She
was in black, with gay patches of color
about her dress, and wore large amber
necklace. The child was in scarlet,
braided apparently with colOfs. Every
nationality was represented, but the
crush was too CREATE show the tOilettes
