The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1881-05-07

Bow, WOW, wow! we've hau u OOS
show big dogs, little dogs, small dogs,
great dogs, fat dogs, lean dogs, yellow
dogs, blue dogs and dogs with no color
at all, dogs all hair and dogs with no
hair at all, pugs and pointers, bulls and
mastitfs, settlers and barriers, dogs that
were all points and dogs that had not Il
point worth mentioning-in brief we
never had such collection of ours in the
city before Thousands visited the
show fine ladies in silks and satins and
scalskin sacques wandered about with
villainous little pngs under their arms,
fondling them as lovingly as though they
were human critters; the ugler the dog
the more they appear to like him; and
lots of little snarleyows were clad i'll
broad cloth and silk and quartered on
velvet cushions, which would have been
properly disposed of if flung out of Il
three story window into the backyard.
There were some good dogs, too; noble
dogs with which any man might be
proud to DO acquainted. Financially
and dogmatically, the Dog Show has
been u great success. 1t is evidently
growing in popularity each year; and ii
you could only have listened to some of
the learned disquisitions on dogology,
one might have imagined that this globe
of ours was originally made for dogs,
and that men and women were Il mere
accidental aCdenda. Fifty cents to look
ut a dog, and dollar for reserved seats
Bow-wow
It's little singular what turn things
take in law. A few months ago the
papers were full of virtuous Indignation
over the assault on II poor and virtuons
girl by wealthy manufacturer, who had
advertised for female help. The girl,
however, took her revenge for the insult;
she sent II message t" her former em-
ployer saying that Il lady wanted to sec
him at the door, and when he came down
| she throw Il quantity Of red pepper in his
eyes, and while he was shreking in his
blind agony she took IL sewing machine
strap out of her pocket, which she had
ingcnionsly prepared with pins, and she
strapped him within an inch of his life.
For the time being the lady had it a II her
own way, but now things have taken Il
turn; the lady was arrested for attempted
blackmail, and on Tuesday she was
lodged in Jail in default of bail. The
merchant proved that this was an old
game by this erratic female, and that he
is only one of Il number nf victims. The
case was tried on Thursday. The young
woman was proven to be Di,e of The most
villainons a,lventrrers, aud was scnten
ced to IL year III State prison. This adds
another revelation to the matchmaking
in clty life.
The new front of the Stock Exchange
on Broad street, near Wall, is almost
finished. 1t is grand to lsok at, beanti-
ful III design, hut it represents the cnsi
of plunlered millions. Dcfanlting cash
iers, thcving bank presidents, dishonest
trsutrcs, knavisll agents, swindlinS
guardians and unhung villains generally
have contributed to those shining marble
pillars and that glorious marble front
1t will represent for years, and perhaps
ages to come, the widest era of extrava
wancc that o,,r nation has SO far known
Our business IS now ut its hest ant
cmigrants still pour i'll thousands day.
Yours truly, BROADBRIM.
