are pits apparently filled with clay but no appear.

DUEL IS GEoRarA.-The duel, noticed hereo-

Florida, originated as fellows:
1t appears that Stewart was about to be married
and had Invited Cocker 10 be one of his groomsmen
at the same time en dining strict secrecy in the at-
ter. Coker, however, told yonns lady acqunlnt-
ance of his, and this Stewart construed into
breach of confidence, and demanded that CoSer
should eth, acknowledge in writing that he was
guilty OF libel, or meet him with deadly weapons.
The latter alternative was accepted, aud they left
Newmansville for PLACE so miles distant, on the
Georgia side.
Tue parties were armed with double barrel shot
tguRs-Stewarl's loadedwith thirty buck shot, and
Coker's with twelve bullets. The terms of The
meeting were: After hiring the first shots. at the
distance of seventy five yards, in case neither fell
they were TO advance ten PAGES and fire second
time; when, if neither was yet hit, they were 10
reload and advance tan PAGES more for third shot,
Stewart was wounded on the frs. fire. and fears
were entertained for his life.

JuLIAN's START IN THE WoRLp.--Im London
Julien was never recognized either as conductor,
composer, or artist. The only position he held
was that o. leader of cotlion band which fur
nished dancing music for ballsa private parties,
at so much night. His first pecuniary success
arose from his wife, who made up and sold very
exquisite boquets, in little by street in London,
where they lived. These boquets soon became
the rage. and the narrow street was daily blocked
up by the carriages Of the aristocracy, who could
not think of going 10 opera soree without one
of Madame Julien's guinea boquets.
In a few years, NJ. and Madame Julien had
amased handsome sum of money, and then the
husband opened a saloon for giving shilling con-
GERS, at which polkas, qualities, and waltzes
were played to audiences unable to appreciate
music of higher order.

The WALKER DIvoRcE TRIAL IN New YoRK.-
Ex-senator Evans of Maine has been hauled over
the Goals, in the Walker divorce case, pretty
severely. The honorable gentleman testi6es We
hemently TO his own innocence, and says he never
was with Mrs Walker in the state room of an
Eastern steamer, charged by Walker. More
over, he has no recollection of having any improper
intercourse with the lady whatsoever-neyers stay
ed with her at any house. and has no recollection
of riding out alone with her in carriage as alleg-
ed. In short, the Ex-senator makes Gle an breast
of the whole concern.
Something of q scene took place between the
opposing counsel on Friday. Counsel for Walker
asked Mr, Evans if he had ever visited certain
houses with Mrs. Walker. Nj. Sordan, on the
It "blackguard." MT. Busteed, Walkers coun-
sci. begged the genileman to keep his temper"
s'he would need it all before the was disposed
Of"
On being asked if he was ever in house of bad
repnte, Mr.. Evans replied: never was in house
of i'll fame in Washington; never In any that
supposed TO be of that character; shall answer
more such impertineat questions" Notwith
standing this declaration, the counsel persisted in
pressing the point, asking next, "were you ever
III Louise OF bad character in BoSton2' 10 which
the Elk Senator replied: al will answer this
neverl"
The court room continues densely crowded, and
such is the anxietytu see and hear, that many of
the auditory will not leave their Seats even when
the court takes recess for an hour or SO in the
he afternoon. These are for the most part, the
very sort of persons that would go to sleep IN
church.

U-The New York Herald. speaking of the ex-
travagance that has characterized the living Of
many persons in New York, says that the reaction
has ct last come. Real estate is descending from
its Pegasus, and one by one the necessaries of life
are being reduced in price. Money is becoming
daily more dear and more difficult 10 obtain. Ma
ny merchants and stock iobbers, living in large
houses. and driving fine equipages, are now trem-
bling on the brink of a frigh,ful precpice."
