REFUSED TO FIGHT DUEL.-Mr. Cohen, as
signee Of Adams & Co., of San Francisco, having
challenged James King, of William, ex-banker, the
latter refused to fight for moral reasons He says
to the second Of Mr. Cohen, however:
/ The relative positions Of Mr. Cohen and myself
are entirely unequalin worldly fortunes and domes-
tic relation. He is understood to be possessed of
an abundant fortune. In the event Of his fall he
would leave ample means for the support of his
wife and child. Recent events have stripped me
entirely Of what once possessed. Were to fall,
should leave large family without the means Of
support Ny duties and obligations to my family
have much more weight with me than any desire
to please Mr.. Cohen or his friends in the manner
proposed. .,a s.sg-:ssj-a.t
+ have ever been opposed to duelling, on moral
grounds. NJ opinions were known to Mr.. Cohen !;
and when he addressed me the note which you
had the impudence to deliver, he was well aware
that it would not be accepted or answered afirma-
lively. That fact is sufficient to demonstrate bis
contemplate cowardice in this silly attempt TO
manufacture for himself reputation for chvalry"
Do not aatter yourself, SIT, that this communica-
ton q made out Of regard either for yourself or TO
Mr.. Cohen. Iwrite this for publication in thenews-
papers. avow principles Of which am not
ashamed, and shall abide the result

A WIRES PRAYER.-f there is anything
comes nearer to the imploration of Ruth to
Naomi, than the subjoined, says the Mobile
Advertiser, we have not seen it:
Lord! bless and preserve that dear person
whom Thou hast chosen to be my husband; let
hislife be long and blessed comfortable and holy;
and let me also become great blessing and a
comfort unto him, . sharer in all his joys, re-
freshment in all his sorrows, meet helper in
all the accident and changes in the world make
me amiable forever in his eyes, and forever dear
to him. Unite his heart to me in the dearest
love and holiness, and mine to him in all sreet-
ness, charity and compliance. Keep me from all
ungentleness, all dsscontentedness, and unreason-
ableness of passion and hunor; and make me
humble and obedient, useful and observant, that
,oe may delight in each other according to Thy
blessed word, and both of as may rejoice in
Thee, having our portion in the loue and service
Of God forever" SARAH.

REVOLUTION IN GAS LIGHrrNG.-The Boston
Traveller contains anotice of new method of light
ing houses etc nv paa We m,ota.

Traveller contains anotice of new method of light
ing houses, ETC., by gas. We quote:
The material for generating the gas, which is
effected without the application Of external heat
and by mere chemical action, consists simply of
zinc and hydrochloric acid. This Yields gas of
great purity and brillancy as constrasted with the
coal gas the same quantity yielding twice the illu-
minating power. The wholeapparatus is contained
in cylinder three feet in height and sixteen in
ches in diameter; and by it every family may be
its own manufacturer Nor is there much care or
attention required in its management, but a ma
chine capable of generating sufficient for eight
lights will require looking to and feeding only once
month or SO. There are no weights to wind, and
the pressure, which is always equal, is adjusted by
ITSELF But the main advantage is that the new
gas can be made very cheaply-the residnum is
chloride Of zinc, SO valuable as disnfectant, and
which is coming into growing favor, as would be
seen by an article in our paper about fortnight
ago, for the purpose Of Burnesting timber, canvas
cordage, ETC., process by which they are rendered
more endurable, and to some extent non combus-
tble. Indeed it is estimated that this resdnum will
be fully equal in value to the original substances; If
that be true the gas will actually cost nothing in its
manufacture - ~

ONE OF THE P1Gs.-The Lynn News is respon
sble for the following:
A friend Of ours was arguing in favor Of buying
large pigs in the spring, declaring it much bette
than to buy small ones, as they would eat but little
more. A neighbor differed from him in opinion
whereupon he told story which 'took down .
bis opponent and all the hearers decided that
small pigs eat some. Said he: "Last spring
bought little pig from drover, and he was good
for eating, but wouldn't grow much. He got So
after week or two that he would eat bucketful
at time, and then like Oliver Twist call for ''more
Well, one morning I carried out bucket full Of
dough, and after he had swallowed it all, picked
up the pig and put him in the same bucket had
fed him from, and the little cuss didn't fill i,

EFFECTS OF HEAT UPON MEAr-A well cooked
piece of meat should be full Of its own juice or ma
tural gravy. In roasting, therefore, it should be ex.
posed to quick fire, that the external surface may
be made to contract at once, and the albumen to
coagulate before the juice has had time to escape
from within. And so in boiling When piece OF
beef or mutton is plunged into boiling water the
outer part contracts the abumen which is near the
surface, coagulates and the internal is prevented
either from escaping into the water by which it is sur
rounded, Or from being diluted or weakened by the
admission of water among it. When cut up, there
FORE the meat yields much gravy, and is rich in flavor
Hence beefsteak or muttonchop is done quickly
and over quick fire. that the natural juices may be
retained. On the other hand, if the meat be ex-
posed to slow fire, its pores remain open, the
juice continues to flow from within, as it has dried
from the surface, and the flesh pines, and becomes
dry, hard, and unsavory. Or if be put into cold
tepid water which is afterwards gradually brought
to boil much of the albumen is extracted before
it coagulates the natural juices for the most part
flow out and the meat is served in tasteess state
Hence to prepare good boiled meat, it should be put
at once into water already brought to boil But
to make beef tea, mutton broth, and other meat
soups the flesh should be put into cold water, and
this afterwards very slowly warmed, and finally
boiled. The advantage derived from simmering-
term not unfrequent in cookery books-depends
very much upon the effects of slow boiling as above
explained.

VIvE La BAGArELLE.-The Cleveland Crews had
parade lately in which two beautiful young girls,
dressed in the uniform Of the company, marched one
on each side Of the ensign, carrying each basket
with rags for the wounded, and cask- (of brandy
til supposed for the atigued and faintng soldiers
The idea Of company of feather bed soldiers"
needing rags for the wounded, is particularly rich
We guess the brandy was oftener called in requi-
stion. By the way, the virtue and purity Of those
beautiful young girls will, it is to be hoped not
be jeopardized in the least by the association.
Madens, dost thou not fear to stray,
With those grey jackets in this sort Of way?
Are Cleveland Greys 80 cold and unhandy,
As not to be tempted by woman or brandy?

within our knowledge at present. Speaking of

\ A thousand little shafts Of fame
b We're shivered in my narrow frame:
o love, o fire! Once he dresc
With one long Kiss meg aCboSe soul Through

"a Lady Franklin has addressed letter to
the chairman of the Arctic committee, urging the
claims of her late husband to some portion Of the
reward offered for the discovery of a northwest
passage. She says: "Whcn it is remembered
that these brave and unfortunate men, after years
Of intense suffering and privation, were found dead
of starvation upon spot which they could not have
reached without having first solved that geographi-
cal problem which was the object and aim of all
these painful efforts; and when it is also remem-
bered that they are beyond the reach of their
country's rewards, you will not, think, refuse
them the acknowledgment that is due to their
memory.n
