A Forrest Eight.

A fight that had in it the element of
murder took place near Delaney's
Chapel, on Friday last, in which Will
liam Hall was severely and helplessly
beaten by David Lloyd and his son
Newall. Hall it seems lived on the
property of Lloyd and was served with
:, formal moving notice, not, the land
lord said, with the intention to make
him move, but to have II somewhat diff
ferent lease. Hall rested securely an
til last week when he was told by
Lloyd that he wanted the place for
himself, which resulted in a quarrel
and Hall telling him not to come on
the place again while he remained -
until yesterday, 25th inst. In an hour
or Two after the father and son drove
up with IL load of ashes which resulted
in Il fight in which Hall was foully
kicked, knocked down and beaten un-
ill the cries of murder by Mrs. Hall
(who had taken part i'll the defence
of her husband) caused them to desist.
| The son then went and spread the
ashes while the father walked up and
down in front of the house and kept
Mr.. Hall at bay with the latters own
gun. In hearing the next day before
Esquire Wilson at Townsend, the son
was fined $1.00 and cost, but the elder
Lloyd was bound over in the sum ot
$500 for his appearance at Court.

lOaTdCOSd L6IbOT JO Gne w WaSnl0gtQn Star,
 Mrs. Lucky" Baldwin is the latest sepsa- ton at the hotel where she stays. She is only feet 6 inches in height, but well form ed and rather pretty. She is nineteen years old, but looks like girl of twelve, and dress es like one Her skirts are short and her brown hair hangs down in two braids tied at the ends with ribbon. Lucky, her husband, is sixty-one years old and grandfather. The romantic story is told that the present Mrs Baldwin studied architecture in San Fran cisco with her father, whose profession it is. He was summoned to appear before the build ing board in San Francisco to give his views on ventilation, but being too i'll to do so, his bright young daughter prepared the report and read it before the board, of which Mr. Baldwin was a member So successfully did she present her plans that the wealthy wid- over fell in love with the young architect, courted her, and ill due course of time she accepted the heart and hand of one of Cali fornia's most successful speculators. They were married about two months ago. Mrs. Baldwin appeared at the hotel hop Saturday night in a pretty white muslin, trimmed with embroidery and lace The baby waist was confined by a sash of pink ottoman ribbon, and her long braids of hair tied up with pink ribbons. Bows of pink ribbon were on each shoulder. Around her head was wreath of maiden-hair fern studded with tuberoses and pink buds. She looked the embodiment of the ideal childish simplicity" so seldom seen nowadays. She wears scarcely any jewelry, and what she wears is of the least showy kind. There are children here of ten or twelve years old who look more matronly and dress more like mature women than does this little bride. She does not seem to have her head turned in the least by her thus far successful matrimonial venture, nor by the attention she attracts during this her first trip to the East

Paris in August.

Lucy Hooper's Letter in Philadelphia Telegraph
 Back again in Paris, and very hot, de- serted city it is in these burning August days. Not only is the heat quite American in it's in tensity, but the streets wear the lonely look so familiar to our eyes in New York or Phila- deIphia in midsummer, and which I have never before noticed in the gay capital. For Paris, in ordinary seasons, is as bright and animated during August and September as in some fashionable watering place at home. The great hotels are crowded with strangers and the shops are thronged with foreign customers. At the Hotel Continental or the Grand Hotel there is constant passing to and fro of Transatlantic travellers, the piazzas are filled with groups of elegantly dressed ladies and pleasant looking gentlemen, there is crush of equipages in the court-yards
 and all is brightness and gayety. This yea1 all is loneliness and desolation. You ma, cross the boulevards at 8 foot-pace in tn, middle of the afternoon without running any risk of being run over, and the shops, ant the milliners' and dressmakers' establish

ments are almost deserted. I dropped in at Worth's the other day and found the chlef sa1esmen sitting on the balcony to try to get breath of fresh air. while his leading lady, to speak in theatrical parlance, Mile. Marie Barre was engaged in the interesting occu- patton of making out device with pins on 8 large purple velvet pincush1on. Not since the commune, madam" she declared, "have we known such stagnation." at is the same everywhere The Magasin du Louvre has literally fewer customers daily than 1t counts employees. Yet it is evident that the Americans are beginning to ind thelr way to Paris at last, the Bon Marche being as crowd ed as usual, and the tones of the dead famil- jar transatlantic speech being heard there on every side. The theatres are nearly all closed, the Grand Opera, the Comed1e Franc calse and the Eden alone remaining open. The Columns Morris show bare and deserted, with here and there colored scrap of the atrical placard adhering to the else denuded surface; and M. Morris himself, the inventor and proprietor of these well-known adverti- sing pillars, probably prompted by the stag nation of business, has seized the Opportun1- ty to quietly slip out of the world, now that his columns are left in disuse. He died last week fromth effects of fall that he sus- tained some time ago.
 But there is one thing that Paris is most emphatically, even under this hot August sun-and that is it is clean. The streets are as neat as new pin and as sweet-smelling as a lady's boudoir. They are washed and swept daily, and so, even on one of those sultry, sweltering evenings when there is not a breath of air abroad one can drive out and never be affronted by noisome odor- What contrast to London! When last 1 drove through the streets of the British capitar the miles of street mud under the scorching sun, in more than one of the principal thorough fares, quite sickened me with their aspect and their foul exhalations. It is doubtless to this dainty and carefully maintained clean Illness that the exemption of Paris from a visitation of the cholera is really owing. And the fair city never was more healthy despite et the exceptional and prolonged heat of the weather. People are beginning to find out that fact and the fugitiyyes from France e: are returning in large numbers. For the Pari- sians were as badly scared about the cholera as were the foreigners, and decamped in droves to other, and, as they deemed it, safer shores. Brighton and Folkestone have been, for instance, crowded for weeks past with French people, and when I crossed the chan nel on my homeward journey two-thirds of my fellow-passenger were natives of France, instead of the usual throng of British and American tourists.
