DRAMA IN REAL LIFE.—On Tuesday evening
as Monsieur P— 2 an army contractor. was
walking on the Doulevards, be perceived his
son with a young woman, very plainly dressed,
but of modest and respectable appearance hang
ing on his arm. He advanced towards the
couple, and asked his son in an angry tone
how he dared to keep company with a workwo
man
" Father," replied the young man, " I intend
to marry Mademoiselle, and if I have nothith
erto spoken to you of my project, it is be
cause---"
"Because, sir, you know well that I would.
never consent to such an act of folly."
"I do know this, father, and therefore it is
that I have waited for my majority. lam of
age this day; I have obtained the consent of
this young person's parents, and we are to be
married very soon."
" And me, sir ?" cried the father, choking
with rage.
" I alien be under the necessity of addressing
you a respectful summons" aommation reapectuse
(a formality indispensable in France in the
case of a marriage by any person, however old,
without consent of parents.)
" I will convert all my property into ready
money, and you shall never have a penny."
"1 prefer happiness to riches."
The father, exasperated to the last degree,
raised his cane to strike his son, but suddenly
his hand dropped, and he staggered and fell
into the arms of the crowd, which the noise of
the discussion bad collected. He was a corpu
lent man, of a sanguine temperament and his
anger had killed him !—French Paper.
PRIZE FIGHT- —A few days since two mechan
ics, named Harry Clark and John M'Carthy,
together with their friends, to the number of
about one hundred, repaired to one of the
islands on the Arkansas side of the.river, op
posite Memphis. for the purpose of engaging in
a regular prize fight. The preliminaries had
all been settled, and on reaching the island the
ring was formed, the seconds were appointed,
the rules of the ring agreed upon, and a collec
tion taken up to defray the expenses of a fu
neral, should one be made necessary. All things
being ready, the parties appeared in the ring,
stripped off all clothing except pantaloons and
shoes. Clark was a large, athletic person;
while M'Carthy, who is known as "Little Red,"
was very small, but active. The contest was
simply to decide which was the better man.—
The contest lasted just one hour and forty-five
minutes, during which time fifty-seven rounds
were fought, "Little Red" being declared vic
tor! Clarke counted the first knock down, and
"Little Red" drew the first blood.
INDIANS IN TEXAS.—The San Antiuio Herald,
of March 30, states that the two companies
from Washington county, under command of
Captains M'Phail and Haynes, returned last
Wednesday to that place. They ranged the
frontiers extensively, but without even seeing
an Indian. The Herald thinks the late;reports
of Indians are greatly exaggeratod, though by
no means unfounded. A correspondent of the
Express, writing from Uvalde, March 25? says
that the Indians have committed some fresh
depredations between that place and San An
tonio. They stole a lot of beeves near D'hanis
on Sunday, the 23d. Another party haielmen
up the Sabinal Canon and stole several head
of horses. The people of that Canon have
built a fort and some fifteen of twenty families
have moved into it.
SHORT COTTON CROPS. —The Charleston Mer
cury says that most dealers in cotton have be
come satisfied that we are bound to have a
short crop, and that the deficiency before the
end of the year will reach nearly a million of
bales. There is the present season no unifor
mity in the weekly statements of the papers at
Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans. The
last prices current made up at New Orleans to
the 22d, make the deficiency 715,621 bales;
Savannah to the 28th, makes the deficiency
792.654; Charleston to the 28th, make the
deficiency 748,659.
PRESBYTERIAN STATISTICS.—The Old School
Presbyterian Church in Illinois numbers 165
ministers, 289 churches and a membership of
13,057, One thousand of these are the recent
converts from the Roman. Catholio Church under
Father Chiniquy's guidance. There are many
congregations destitute of pastors and stated
preaching, and the membership of some is very
small. The New School has 155 ministers, 168
churches, with a membership of 9,021 ; a con
siderable increase from last year's figures.
THE HAFTIENS AND THE JOHN BROWN GANG.---
On the 30th of January, the Hayden Govern
ment treated the people of Port au Prince to a
curious exhibition on the Place Geffrard. A
group of figures were arranged to represent the
five martyrs of Harper's Ferry—John Brown,
Cook, Green, Coppic, and Copland. Mrs. John
Brown was presented in mourning costume, her
countenance wearing the impress of profound
grief heightened by an air of Christian resig
nation.
The car conductors on the Carrolton.railroad,
in New Orleans, have seceded in consequence
of the introduction of an innovation in the
method of collecting fares, ticket boxes being
substituted, which the conductors are required
to hand around, instead of receiving the fare
directly into their hands, as has been the cus
tom.
It is said that the authorities of Louisiana
have imposed a tax of $7,000 per annum on
