AN INCH OFF THE NOSE.

Nellie Cooper is a colored belle. She
was in trouble yesterday at Jefferson
Market Police Court. Nellie. II appears,
has rival for the affections OF cap
tIvatlng colored gentleman, who does
the variety and singing business at a
show. She met her rival at a dance,
and fight ensued.
In the course OF the encounter Nellie
made 1t race affair by going down
into her hose and drawing forth razor.
There was deep design in this act,
for Nellie used the weapon at once, and
adroitly to cut OF an inch OF her fair
or. rather dusky-rivars nose.
Now, an inch is not much. But when
added to or taken from human nose 1t
makes considerable alteration in the
countenance. There probably is not

the operation as to completely destroy
