Editor of the New Orleans States and the

board of health, in which Dupree was Sc
verely wounded in the neck A few
days ago very ugly scandal came out in
regard 70 the board of health. The matter
was brought before the grand jury, which
decided that while the action of certain
members was of very suspicious and i'm
proper character, there was no law to cover
the case, and they could not be indicted.
The two members thus criticized resigned.
The present grond jury is again
investigating the matter. The judge
of the criminal court, however, held
that there is a law covering the action of
the board Of health. The States criticized
the board severely, declaring that the
whole body ought TO be removed from DR..
Oiphant, the president, down. Oliphant
to-day wrote Dupree letter, calling him a
liar and coward, whereupon Dupree went
at once 10 the Office to insist on
an apology. Both men drew
their weapons when they met and ex-
changed shots, Dupree firing five shots and
Oliphant one, without effect. While the
former was firing several of the employees
jumped on Dupree. and one Of them stabbed
him in the neck, cutting him seriously.
When the crowd rushed in Dupree was
bleeding profusely, and was otherwise in
jured. He was taken to the Charity hos

THE BIRTH OF SNOW.

Athwart high heavens glistening. golden
walls,
Expiring summers soft and saddened sigh
Sweeps mournfuIly, and Zion's homeless halls
Hurl to and fro the seasons drear. death cry.
Cold from the dying summer gods broad
chest,
The breath that bore that last, sad sigh was
gent,
And chilled throughout the halls of Heavenly
Rest,
And to the scented, balmy air discomfort
Leaf.
Each seraph then the dirgo of summer softly
sings;
Each angel closer clasps his robes of milky
white,
And from the multi-million shapely, shivering
wings
Chaste clouds of pearly plumage take their
fight;
Down through the soundless, quaking yoids
they go.
To fall upon the Quivering earth afar. as
snow.
