DUELLING mi ORDOFAN.

A recent traveller gives the following me-
thod of settling an affair of honor in kordo-
fan. How much more rational and 'salis-
factory than the fashionable assassinalions
OF our own county.
When gentleman of that nation con-
ceives himself aggrieved, he sends the often
der formal challange, which, it is presumed
is always accepted. The duel takes place
on some open ground, and all the friends OF
the combalants resemble as spectators. An
angareb, or couch, is then brought forth, and
the two combatants place each foot close
to the edge of the couch, the breadth of which,
alone divides them. A formidable whip,
made of hppopoamus leather, is then plac-
ed IN the hands ofeach, and renewed attempts
are made by their friends to reconcile them,
IL, however, they are bent in carrying out
the affair of honor, the signal for battle is al

THE PIG THEN PUPPY,

When first commenced preaching, an
old minister told me the following story.
which has been of use to me. 1t NAV be of
use to others. In years past and gone, lived
IN on N'H'ist minister by the name of
Place. lie had more than a common S. Gift
OF CAB, and was very DESTROYS Of pleasing
his hearers. An old brother, by the name Of
Winsor, was fond of the company of Elder
Place, and used to fetcn and carry him on
his preaching tours. Onone occasion. AS FL.
der Place came near the place of his appoin,
ment, he asked his brother Winsor what the
peop'e generally believed whore he was 90
ing to preach. The brother told him Thai il
was none of his business, but it was hrs duty
to preach what he believed himself. Blu, Ell.
der Place made inquiries, and found the pco-
pie were mostly unitarians so he preached
that which would not hurt any Unraran.-
On their way home, brother Winsor said TO
Elder Place he would tell him short story,
as follows:
On "A certain holiday man of good prop
erty wished to give the minister pig He
caught pig, tied his legs, put him in a has
ket, covered HIM up, and directed his negro
minister that he might Kill it and eat it, or he
might raise it. The black boy on his way
stopped to see the military parade, aud some
young men, wishing TO have a Joke, slipped
out the pic and put in puppy. The boy
went to the minister's house with the pnppy.
and did his errand to the minister, saving tia,
his master had sent him present, tina, he
might Kill it and eat il, or he might raise il.
On the minister opening the basket and
seeing the puppy, he says to the boy, "does
your master wish TO insult me? do no,
wish to raise dog, neither do wish to eat
a puppy" The black boy looked at the
puppy, stared, and told the minister" he be
pig when started with him."
On his way home he sat down his basket,
aud the young men drew off the attention OF
the boy, while they slipped out the puppy
and put in the pig again. When the boy got
home, his master asked him how the minis
ter liked his present. The boy says, she no
| like it; when get there he turn into pun
| py." The man opened the basket, and 10 !
the pig was there. The boy looked at the
pig, stared again, and said, A" well, if you be
pig when YOU mind to, and puppy when
you mind to, fetch and carry you no morc!''
\ This story is a good rebuke to many min
isters. There is much preaching that i,
sometimes pig and sometimes puppy-ius, ,c
suit the times.

blow, then lnnicis as hard lash as he can
on his opponent who stands perfectly still to
receive the compliment, and then prepares
to return 1t. They then continue, turn and
turn about, to fog each others backs and
shoulders, (thc head must on no account be
struck,) while the blood flows copously at
every stroke. Not an acknowledgement of
OF pain escapes the lips Of either. and all the
spectators remain equally mute. This con-
'inucs until one of the combalants. generally
from sheer exhaustion DROPS his instrument

declaring that they have received sulicien,
satisfaction, their friends congratulate them
on their reconciliation, their wounds are

THE BATTLE OF SEGAON.

The loss of the enemy was great; they
left upon the field Of battle from four to five
hundred killed and wounded, while many
more were slain or drowned in the pursuit.
A few prisoners were taken, amongst them
three mandarins of inferior rank, one of
whom stated himself to belong to the impe-
rial guard, of which detachment five hum
dred strong had been engaged on that day.
From information given by the prisoners,
and from some returns and public documents
found in the tents, the total number of men
who stood on the side of the Chinese on the
heights of Srgaon was estimated at between
IUOO and SOOO, OF whom great proportion
were troops from the northern provinces, men
of more hardy and warlike habits, and of
greater sinrw aud muscular power than the
ordinary troops of the central and rIaratimc
districts; tlecy had never before encounter
ed the British forces, and their confidence in
the result of the contest appears to have been
unbounded; for, on examining the camp, it
was found that the whole of their baggage,
including every movable article of their Kit,
had been left behind in their flight, nothing
having been removed save the arms carried
on the persons of the soldiers. A good deal
of svCec silver WAS found sccreted in the bet
ter class OF tents, but no military ches, was
discovered. An officer has recorded that in
browning the right of the enemv's position,
the troops mingled with the Chinese, and
passed through some lines of tents on the
summit Of the hill, as they drove them out Of
their entertainments. In his progress he was
arrested by the groans of wounded man.
who was stretched on couch in the corner
of tent; he gave the poor wretch, who had
the button Of mandarin, some water, or

humanity dictated, and the man catching hin,

A CAPITAL JoKE.-A good natured laug
has run around our village lately from slo-
rv that is too good to confnc to such narrow
borders. For several weeks past large
white owl has been seen from day to day
flying in this vicinity. His "Wisdom" has
attracted many shots from marksmen which
whether too small or too poorly aimed have
been Intellectual. One day not long since he
was seen pcrcled upon wall few rods
west of the village, and several good shots
among 'our first young mem started in pur-
suii.-Crceping warily behind walls and
through bushes they would attain dcsirea-
bile proximity and 'let flv.' The grave and
reverend president of night was impernra-
bic however. Some fired two or three times
but the great eyes still glared unmoved. The
marksman would retire saiificd, and another
would succeed. The result was the same.
Some came back bold v laughing, and others
sinking, with covered arms'-for the vii
lage was in IA roar of laughter. A stuffed
owl had been made to prrsonatc the live spc-
cimen that had been actually seen, and those
eager to do execution had learned tina, it was
not well to shoot white owls cery carly IN

Capt. Hill Of the city Guards was thrown down

Of the Guards gave command TO FIRE. Croans
and shrieks filled the air and the crowd broke

four were Killed and many wounded. A part
Of the enraged mob, now rushed for arms

and commenced firing in the dark which was
briskly returned by the military. This lasted

Patterson came with large reinforcement Of
The military.
The cannonading shook the houses-and the
bullets TO other neighborhoods. Wherever an
object was seen, it wasigreetet with a rife ball
from some hidden assassin. John Cook was
killed while attempting to make the third dis

many Others ofthe mob were killed Of whom

more than forty persons in all; and great
many more were wounded. On Monday
