The Apostle Of Peace Challenged to Mortal Combat
InNnnN Doc

Inc apostle Of Ffdcc ChdHen9ed TO u0rtdi Combat.
LONDON, Dec. go 1850.
Mr. Richard Golden, the Apostle of Peace, received
challenge on Sunday last from admiral Sir Thomas
Hastings, inviting him to fight duel. 1t appears that
at the Peace Congress held at Burlington last month,
MIR. Brig in the course oil his speech, rid cued Sir
Thomas and stated that "the only authority upon which
British Admiral anticipated war between England and
France was the Bishop of Madagascar" Sir Thomas
wrote to Mr.. Bright and demanded his authority Tor
making such statement. Mr. Bright replied that MIR.
Golden his authority. Sir Thomas then wrote to
Mr.. Cobden calling upon him to state whether, aftor
reperusng his evidence before Committee OF The House
OF Commons, he could with truth that Sir Thorn
ass sole reason Tor believing that the hostile feeling Of
France England up to 1874, founded on an idle
story told by the shop OF Japan" Sir Thomas threat
ened MI Golden, at the same time that if he refused
to give a satisfactory explanation, he should challenge
him TO fight duel! MIR. Golden received the said
challenge on Sunday morning, but he attended divine
service, morning, afternoon and evening" usual,
quite undisurbed by Sir Thomas comhusble missves
and not Till Wednesday, the 18Th did the of Peace
condescend to send reply to the British Admiral. He
then writes--''l understand you to propose that
should lay down our pens and have personal inter-
view talk the matter in dispute, bnt to take
stand at twelve PAGES apart, with pistols in hand,
and endeavor to blow out each others brains."
Mr. Golden goes on to say that he is quite satisfied
that half an of lead is sufficient to extingush in
a moment all powers OF reason, all sense OF JUSTICE and
every religious sentiment; and he is at loss to know
how such process would satisfy him that he had acted
unjustiy towards Sir Thomas, convince Sir Thomas,
OF Inc contrary WI CoDaen men states the facts OF Inc
case, and that Sir Thomas in giving his evil
dence before the committee ofthe House of Commons
was requested by Mr. Golden himself to state upon
what authority be assumed that the French nation

4 SINGULAR STORY.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
writes the following to that paper:
The recent decease Of the Rev John M.
Duncan, in your city, revives an interest
:ng incident in his early life. On her
passage from Ireland, the vessel in which
young John and his family were passen-
| gers was cast away. For some time all on
board was threatened with death by famine.
| At length lots were cast for a human
The lot fell upon the venerable grand
mother of that noble boy-Mrs. Margaret
Duncan. Unwilling to resort to such
horrible remedy, the ships company
resolved to postpone the dreadful death
for few hours. The hopeless period
again arrived, when lots were again cast
for sacrifice of li(e-asain the lot fell
upon the same lady.
BY common consent another respite was
granted, the same ordeal was to be passed.
-Strange to tell-the third time, that
aged lady was doomed to die. A brief
space Of time being allowed for prepara-
ton. the pious woman perfectly resigned
to her fate, made one vow unto the Lord,
that il he would avert the impending blow,
and in mercy save the ships company,
she would consecrate herself more fully to
his service-wouId, on their arrival at any
port. erect temple, in honor nf his name,
and educate and qualify, SD far as in her
power. her grandson John NJ. Duncan for
the ministry of the gospel.
That prayer was probably heard-for
as tbs: lady appeared on deck TO render up
her life, voice from aloft announced the
welcome tidings-''Saii O!' 4 vessel
hove in sight--came t" their relief. and in
safety they all reached PhiIads! phia.
In that city, the venerated grandmother
performed her vows. She became a more
devoted Christian; she erected the hand
some church edifice which there bears her
name to this day--and her grandson educa-
ted and qualified for the sacred Office,
spent lo, z life Of piety and usefulness.
and then surrendered his happy spirit
surrounded by numerous attectionate
friends.

several old countrymcn discussing various mat

dimensions Of one he had seen.
