%DUEL WITH BRoADswoRDs IN VIRoIE-
IA.-We Learn from Norfolk papers that
a duel was fought on the 9Th inst, near
that city, with broadswords, between
DR.. E. Perkins. dentist, and another cit
lzen whose name has not trsnspired.-
The affair grew out of a publication in .
newspaper, signed by DR.. p, relative 10
a slanderous report. The Argus states
that the parties repaired to a 6eld on
Ferry Point, and a desperate fight took
place, With heavy keen edged swords,
which resulted in the injury Of both par
ties. DR.. P. received a deep and severe
cut on his right arm, and dealt his an
tagonist a dreadful cash in the face. and
on n arm, wounding him also in the
abdomen. The Americdn states that
Dr.. P.'s antagonist was a former Ies-
ident Of R chmond.

The Flain Dealers Unbiased Opinion o.
James Buchanan.

The Cleveland Plan Dealer is now
the organ of the Pro Slavery parry in
Northern Ohio. 1t is refreshing to read
what WIS its opinion Of James Buchanan.
When he was not a candidate for the
Presidency, and when there was no pns
sibility that he would ever have any
treasury pap TO bestow on his supporters.
We commend the following TO our Blu
chanan friends:
The small and malignant clique who
wear the name Of James Buchanan on
their collars. are endeavoring to sell the
Democracy of Pennsylvania, into the
hands Of the South Carolina traitors
James Buchanan was never elected by
the people TO any office, except when he
was a Federalist. HE HAS NOT ONE
THROB OF DEMOCRATIC FEEL
ING ABOUT HIS COLD-BLOODED
BACHELOR HEART. He could not
receive the votes of one third of the PEG
pie for any Office. And yet by the
force of management of the basest kind
of political machinery. he has been abe
for years past, to crush the Democratic
party of this State. Pennsylvania. to
hang about its neck like a milestone, 10
kill every progres>iunal thought in its
bosom. He and his tools virtually gave
the State 10 Taylor in 1915. and if Big
Ter is defeated good AMI noble man
you may charge it to James Buchan-
an. who, like the old man in the history
of Sinbad the sailor, now hangs on Big
lers neck

The QUALITY OF AMERICAN WooL.-The
statement has been promulgated far aud wide
that American wool is unfit to give that beau
tiful finish required for broad cloth of the best
quality. 1t has been stated that our woods
were longer in the staple than the foreign
kinds, and were excellent for making strong
warps, but did not possess the necessary felt
ing property requisite for fine cloth, and for
this reason a little foreign wool wac neceS-
sary. III. C. Merriam, in the last number Of
the Country Gentleman, scatters all such as
sertions to the winds. and proves concl usively
that American surpasses all foreign wool for its
felting properties, and for making beautiful
broad cloth, light or heavy. He states that
American grown wool and fine wool from Saxony
have been tested, and the palm awarded 70 tho
fOrme-. The finest Saxony wool obtained from
Hungary contained only 2400 serrations to
the inch, while wool obtained from sample
of American fOcks contained 2552 serrations
to the inch

FIRsr USE OF GAs.-In the year 1872, Mr..
Murdoch made use of gas in lighting his house
and office of Redruth, in Cornwall, England,
where he then resided. The mines at which
he worked being distant some miles from his
ing bladder with coal gas, in the neck Of
which he fixed a metallic tube, with a small
orifce, through which the gas issued this be-
ing ignited, served as a lantern TO light his
way for the considerable distance he had
nightly to travel. This mode of illumination
being generally unknown, it was thought by
the common people that magical air alone
could produce such an effect, and the discoverer
actually run some risk Of personal inconveni-
ence from the prejudice Of his narrow minded
neighbors

How TO DO UP SHIRT Bosoks.-We have Of
ten been requested by lady correspondents to
state by what process the gloss on new linens,
shirt bosoms, etc, is produced, and in order to
crafty them we subjoiR the following recipe
" Take two ounces Of fine white gum arabic
powder-put it in a pitcher, and pour on
pint or more Of boiling water, according to the
degree Of strength you desire-and then hav-
ing covered il, let it stand all night-in the
morning, pour ii carefully from the dregs into
a clean bottle, cork 1t and keep il for use. A
tablespoonful of gum water stirred in pint Of
starch, made in the usual manner, will give
to lawn, either white or printed, a look Of new
ness, when nothing else can restore them after
they have been washed"

A WINTER LAyDscAPB IN RUssIA.-Noth-
ing interesting presenting itself, we travelled
onWards, through towns and villages, and
over dresry country, rendered many times
more so 5y the season. All around was a vast
wlntry nat, and frequently not a vestige Of
man or cultivation was seen, not even a solitary
tree, to break the boundless expanse of snow
Indeed, no idea can be formed Of the immense
plains We traversed, unless you imagine your
self at sea, far, far, from the sight Of land
Ihe Arabian deserts cannot be more awful TO
the eye than the appearance Of this scene
ouch ls the general aspect Of the country
during the rlgOrs Of a winter, with now abd
then an exception Of a large forest Skirting
the horizon for a considerable length Of way.
At intervals as you shoot along, you see open
lngs among Its lofty trees, from which emerge
picturesque groups of natives and their one
horse sledges, whereOn are placed the different
arI,les of commerce, going to various parts If
the empire. They travel in vast numbers, and
from all quarters, seldom fewer than one
hundred and fifty in a string, having a driver
to every seventh horse. The effect Of this ca
valcade at a distance is very curious; and in
a morning, as they advance toward you, the
scene Is as beautiful as striking The sun
then rising, throws his rays across the snow,
Transforming il to the sight into a surface Of
diamonds. From the cold of the night every
man and horse is encrusted with these frosty
particles; and the beams falling on them, too,
seem TO cover their rude faces and rugged
habits with a tissue Of the most dazzling
brilliants The names of the horses, and the
long boards Of the men, from the quantity of
congealed breath, have particularly glitter
ing effect.
