A RBCONHTKfCTKD SoL'THKRN'KR.
There is much blood between the
Americans and English in Paris,
growing out of the disputes between
their respective countries. A stal
wart American from the South, with
an English friend and two women,
had a private box at the last opera
ball. During the progress of the
festivities the two cavaliers got into
a dispute over the Alalwma claims,
and finally, to the dismay of their
fair comjianions, proposes to begin
the war there at once. Early in
the comlttt the American dealt his
antagonist a terrible blow, which
dislocated his shoulder. The wo
men then shrieked and the guards
burst in the door, while the victor
coolly gave his arm to the disabled
Briton, helped him into a carriage,
and returned master of the field and
of both the ladies. But, perhaps,
the strangest part of the story is yet
to be told. The American cham
pion is not only a native of the
South, but he was also the most
violent ot secessionists. He seems
to be pretty well reconstructed, and
the same may be said ot most of the
ex-rebels now in Paris.
