Last Saturday night at a ball at
"Bee" Abshire's in the Cow island set
tlement a difficulty occurred between
"Cojo" Gaspard and "Beck" Lapointe
which resulted in Lapointe receiving
two cuts, m on the thigh, the other
over the ribs, that in the thighs being
quite severe and occasioning profuse
hemorage. Gaspard and his friends
claim that Lapoints was cut in getting
through a wire fence, while Lapointe
and his associates are equally positive
the cutting was done with a knife
which they declare to have seen open
in Gaspard's hands. Garpard was ar
rested on a warrant sworn out before
Judge Blanchard of the 9th ward and
was bound oyer to await the prelimin-
airy examination.

Singing Among the Graeka.

Our present system Of public instruc-
ton is not so modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
superintendent, who, if distant repor;
is to be trusted, was an educationai
despot. But while he welded his walk
ing stick freely during official visit
and encouraged his subordinates to pl
the rod on all occasions, he was as dill
gent a promoter of music as is any hr.
name and progressive educator of OF!
era. AS a result the little Lacedmmo-
mans sang blithely, no matter what tor
ment was going on under their tunics
And all oven Greece, in those dim DAYS,
were schools ranging from infant
grades instructed under Arcadian hedge
to university extension schemes harbor-
ed in buildings uniquely termed "placcs
of leisure" The infants were drilled III
their alpha beta gammas, the older
boys were taught poetry and gymnas
tics, with something of arithmetic,
geometry and drawing, and adults spent
their leisure with rhetoricians and soph-
lists, paying handsomely for the priv
llege. But music was a sine qua non Ct
Greclan life, in school and in sport, in
battle and in burial. The epic and ele-
glac chantings at festivals, the cal /.
speculations of P~ythagoras as to tx
music of the spheres, the choral out
burst of "the great fifth century," tie
martial odes of Tyrt@us and Pindar,
all show the national love for melody
of voice as well as for high and harmo-
NOUS thought. An old time Greek set
down amid the strident, metallic voices
of our occidental world would feel that
the furies had seized either upon him
or the continent he was yisiting.-Ger-
trude E. Wall in Lippincott's.
