Amusing Duel.

Baden Baden, which has been so long one of
the temples of folly, would seen1-if the news
paper chronicles Of the gay place may be
trusted-to have taken a tone and temper at
once moral and practical. The code Of the
gaming table, is, apparently, sfalling from its
authority, with the threatened deposition Of
the gaming table itself. Two strangers, on
Englishman and o Prussian, quarreled, ac-
cording to a very common incident, over their
play, and agreed in the usual course to fire at
one another, as the recognized means of set
thing a dispute. The Englishman was so lucky
as to win the first fire, and so nnlucky as to
miss his adversary. eThe latter had only now
to shoot the man at his ease, and prepared to
take his aim accordingly, when the ling lishman
cried out, "Stop, stop I'll buy your shot"
The first impression made was that of the nov
city Of the proposal-the second, that it con-
tanned the preliminaries Of a mutually profta-
BILE transaction. The conditions Of the ar
rangement were accordingly entered upon /; and
the two leading elements were, that the Eng
lishman was rich, and the Prussian a good
shot. The redemption was valued at eioOO,
and the parties returned to the city, alike sat
isfied with their bargain. The case was worth
reporting, and e are glad it was the English
man who set the first example of this clear in
sight into the rational Of duelling. [Athen-

New Use for Potato Vines.

P. A. Strobel, of the American Female in
stltute, sends to the Georgia Telegraph the fol
lowing:
cit may not be known to all your readers,
that the sweet potato vine may be saved du.
ring the winter, and used the following spring,
in p%ropagating a new crop. I have tried the
experiment during this year, to my entire sat
isiaction, and therefore feel it my duty to COM
municate the result for the benefit of the pub
lie. In the fall, (any time before frost,j the
vines may be cut in any length, and placed in
layers, on the surface of the earth, to the depth
OF twelve or eighteen inches, cover. the vines
while damp, with partially rotted straw, (eitbcr
pine or wheat will answer,) to the depth Of six
inches, and cover the whole with a light soil
about three inches deep. In this way tic vines
will keep during the winter, and in the spring
they will put our sprouts as abundantly as the
potato itself when bedded. The draws or
sprouts can be planted first, and the vine itself
can be subsequently cut and used as We gcncr-
ally plant. This experiment is worthy the con-
slderatlon Of farmers, as it will save q great
many seed potatoes, particularly on large
plantations which can be used for feeding.
Let every farmer, however, make The cxpcri-
ment for himself and be governed by the re-
suit"
