Miss Plumer, of New Orleans, has read more French literature of the lighter sort novels and romances, for instance than most of the young women whom Abel Newt meets in society. Her eyes are very shrewd, and she is looking every where to see if she shall not light upon some token of bachelor habits something that shall reveal the man who occupies those pretty rooms.
At the foot of this slant is the walled town of Gibraltar or rather the town occupies part of the slant. Everywhere on hillside, in the precipice, by the sea, on the heights everywhere you choose to look, Gibraltar is clad with masonry and bristling with guns.

He doubtless edits, sets the type, and prints his paper, all alone; but he delights to speak of the concern as if it occupies a block and employs a thousand men.
