Of the State II is true this duel was Tough, under
the most atrocious circumstances, and in most

The duel, il appears, fought with knives

the Newark Advertiser in a late letter says:
In this vicinity is the studio OF another Amer
lean sculptor, who was year ago Virginia law
yer, but is now the author of a statue called the
Coqmate, which is quite remarkable as first work
and proves that Mr.. Barbce was not mistaken in
changing his profession, turning from the legal
bar 10 that of public opinion; nor in yielding his
prospects, in the new world for ventures in the old
world of art. Fortune Often isvors the adyentur-
Gus spirit Mr.. Bhrbee has found purchaser for

been adroily managed, and tells the old story in
new way

Washington Arsenal. - According TO the
communication Of Brevet MAJOR A. Mordecai,
transmitted TO Congress with the report of the
Secretary OF War, The operations OF the Wash
ington Arsenal during the last year have been
conducted on The same limited scale as for seve-
raj previous years, and offer no results worthy OF
special notice.
The principal articles fabricated al the arsenal
during The year were ffy-two 24,pounder bar
bette gun carriages sixty 24-pounder barbe,te
gun chassis; eight portable forges; eight sets car
riage makers tools, and ten sets of homework for
caissons for mountain service; six sling carts !;
twenty-seven pendulum hauses for field guns !;
three thousand seven hundred and ifly-one
rounds of ammunition for field service one hun
dred and fourteen thousand Maynards primers
for small arms; sixty-two pole straps and pads for
field carriages parts of one hundred sets Of ar
iillery harness, and various tools and stores for
the service Of field batteries.
Major Mordecai repeats his recommendation,
SO often made heretofore, as 10 The necessity Of
procuring a retrocesson of the grounds which
were taken from the arsenal 10 accommodate the
Penitentary buildings. II is only in this way, he
says, that proper sites be obtained for building
new workshops in a style crediable 10 the Ord
nance Department, and suitable for an establish
menl at the seat Of the General Government.

Merry Bachelors. Among other balls Of
the season, was that of the Merry Bachelors"
on Thursday night, at the Odd Fellows Hall, Navy
Yard. A friend Of ours, who was present, says,
that nearly one thousand persons We're in atten-
dance, including delegation Of ladies and gentle
men from sister city of Alexandria the beauty
of the former being marked feature in the gay
assemblage. Merry" as those bachelors" are,
they could not have enjoyed themselves without
the fair ones on that occasion. An old married
man who forgot his grey hairs, and seemed to be
rejuvenated, while participating in the pleasures
of the dance is at loss to account for the cebacy
of those under whose auspices the entertainment
was afforded, considering the fine display offemale
graceful forms and pretty faces. He trusts that
some Of those " merry bachelors" have lost their
hearts beyond redemption.
The concluding scene, however, served them
right. A "bachelor's pound-cake" was handed
round TO the Iadies-n other words, nicely baked
cornpone the slices Of which the recipients
pelled the bachelors, much to the amusement of
all the spectators.

The Consumption Of Paper-Forty years
ago, three men, by handiwork, could scarcely
manufacture 1000 small sheets OF paper in day,
while now, by the use Of machinery, they can
produce 10000 in the same time. It has been cal.
culsted that If the paper produced yearly by six
machines could be put together, the sheet would
valued as in the United States. In France, with
100000 of inhabitants, only 60 tons are pro.
duced, nearly, of which one-seventh is for expor-
tation. In Britain, with 100000 of inhabitants,
95,0 900 tons are produced, while the amount pro.
duced in the United States is nearly as great as
produced by France and England together.
