' THE SWAMP SKIiPKXT. The "Fetulleton," which has swi long been a feature of the nowspajiers Of Paris, is rapidly lieing engrafted uion the strong stock of American journal ism, and iww the daily ttory is Jonhed for bv many reader as eagerly as are the stock reports by others. Kecau of this fact, I put tha following matter in the form of a story, instead of the stereotyped style of a newspaper letter, and in genuine story fashion open with a few wonis of talk from the lips of one of the characters. In this cas. she is Mary,' the well-known Chovtsw peddlprof roots and herbs, whose station is n nr tiie down town entrance of the famous J'reti'-h niasier. in New Orleans. Hear her: "Eh, Men. sent y mans! it istrne. I am no banan thi morning not a one. He is stole, (hat banan. Two hunch Iwinan stole, and the thief the thief he is snake." Seeing The doubtful look upon our faces, Mary tainted a copjier colonvl forefinger toward her tiek in trade spread out uponth pavement aiit;nd her. "j'.h hi - n. ir'-ntyinan?" she said in her un nioiliilu -d vojtv. "It is tn.e. See, 1 am no U:.'i:i tins mortiinff.

Gtistave a niemler of the New Orleans police force after taking thnv lazy pulls at his ciaretf nitdejeetinu' the smoke in slander stiraui-. h"i;i liis no-tnls.

He is not man he. lie i Sliak Like all other Indians, the Choctaw berry venders, v h githcr in a little tfrm;p each morning at the end of the French market in New ( !r''ais, are i"t voluble. "How much" you will a--t, ointi-i: at a square piei-e of clan Itaik iituji which a handful of berries is piled, and the Indian will hold up two f ugets ii' li'-ating cents or three or four a the esse may ! Sometimes h will put th price into words: but his conversation is, in general, reserved for his own pe)ple hi the privacy of b;s native swamps. The enter prize whi.-h hail induced Mary to arid a bunch of bananas to her home gathered roots and herbs had Jed to her a -quiring a more ex ten.led vocabulary than that of any of her relatives, and the excitement vmswpient upon her givat loss made her tise it moi-e freely, this morning, than ever before in th pi'esence of white men.

Then she beltM the hxwe calico wrapppf which she wore with her out stretched fiuuers, and jerked her had toward the smooth circumference of her waist thu? displayeii.

But without the glasses I was almost blind and eou Id not see more than ten feet before me. 1 heard the crashing of twigs, however, as though some large body was moving to ward us. along the road over which we had come, and then Gustave swung himself into my nest "It is coming," he whispered, "and from the commotion nmong the rotfonwoods it nm-t Ie a big aronnd as a horse.
