An EXTRAORDINARY PigI,t.

The New Orleans National gives the
following account of 4 fight under pecn-
liar circumstances
While vessel was proceeding down
The river yesterday, two seamen were or
dered up by the captain TO loose one Of
the sails. While they we're out on the
yard, and in the act of casting off the sail
a dispute arose between them, we pre-.
sumo, about some portion of the work
they had 10 perform, which ended in their
having battle royal on the end of the
toPsail yard, each holding on by one hand
while with the olber they gave each 9th
er scissors, and to sJcb an extent did
they carry on their one-armed fight, that
enc Of them forgot his elevated position,
and let go his hold, in order 10 have a
double rap at his antagonist but, alas!
he found out too late that the attraction
of gravltalion' was not to be tIified with,
even though the vindication of his per-
sonai honor was concerned.
Down he came heels over head, but
not until he caught his antagonist by the
leg who could not resist so weighty an in
yitation, but came tumbling down with
his FREUD slap into the river, the sudden
GOODNESS of which seemed to act wonder
fully in bringing about a peace. Boats
were Immediately put out to the rescue
Of the combatants, who were. however,
excellent swimmers, and struck out for
the nearest boat with skilful and rapid
strokes. Another contest now arose be-
tween them. and at it they went putting
and blowing, 10 see who should reach the
boat first.
/ A closer matched pair we have seldom
seen; they were. To use sporting term,
neck and neck neither giving way. By
this time the boat was pretty close, and
desperate effort was made by the par
ties to shoot ahead of each other-the ef:
fort apparently succeeded with one, who
seemed TO move ahead little, but his tri-
umph was short, for he suddenly disap-
peared undLr the surface of the water,
his competitor passing over the spot with
renewed exertions-however, he too dis
appeared as mysteriously as his compan-
ion, to the disnay of the spectators. who
gave tnem up as lost-but their alarm
was not of long duration, for the two lads
shortly made their appearance on the
surface. boxing each other like fury
4 The fact was. the man who had first got
ahead, was pulled under by the leg, by
the other. who. in his turn, pulled him
down, and another boxing match in the
middle of the Mississippi was the conse-
quence-which was on the point of end
ing fatally to both, had not the boat came
up and pulled them in, wetler ifnot wiser.

A STRANGE FLOWER One day last
week, some men who were working on
our streets, broke stone in two, in which
was found a beautiful purple flower, with
some green leaves, as fresh in appear
ance, and as soft to the touch, as though
it had been grown in green house,
How it came there is mystery to U.s.
The stone had been 10 the street for
twelve years. But the flower was evil
dently in the stone when it was quarried.
PehaPs it had been there from "the timo
whereof the memory Of man runneth not
tothe contrary"--aye, for aught we know
it is an antedeuyian flower. Mr.. S. S.
Young says "the flower resembles the
Hebiscus species; but the leaf is moro
nearly the rose, and is not exactly like
any flower now native of this country,
nor indeed like any exotic cultivated
here" He adds: at most probablygrew
in the whole Of the rock where it now is;
but the rock must have been earth when
it grew.-Eaton TO- J Register.

CLERICAL JoKE.-A few years since,
when the celebrated Episcopal clergy
man, DR.. Hawks, was aboutleaving New
York for the South. he was waited on by
the vestrymen of small churchin West
chester county. and urgently solicited to
take charge of the same. The Rev. DR..
graciously received the committee, but
respectfully declined the eproposal, urging,
as the chief objection that the salary.
though liberal for the parish which they
re presented, would be inadequate for his
expenses having a considerable familyof
small childrelrto educate and proyidefor..
One ofthe committee replied, "the Lord
will take care Of them; he has promised
to hear the young ravens when they cry;
and to provide for them" Very true,
said the Rev. gentleman, but l'e has not
promised to provideforthe young Hawks.
