Capturing Cities by Contract.

The Paris Journal DIES Debats, in the
course of a letter from Shanghai, dated
August 10th, states that number of for
eign adventures have joined the Imperial
troops, and, in their conflicts with the Tai
Ping rebels, are achieving desperate and
bloody reputation. Among those soldiers
of fortune is an American named Ward,
who, it appears, agrees to capture cities by
job>work. The correspondent writes:
Ward had collected troop of four to five
thousand Tagals, belonging to Manila, and
about dozen sailors from different sea-
ports of the East. He and his men were
paid by the Tou-Tai, or Mayor of ShaDg.
hal, three hundred and fifty taels, or about
three thousand francs month, and he en-
joyed the title of Colonel. But that was
not all. When he retook city from the
insurgents he received reward proportion
ate to the service he had rendered. For
instance, the retaking of Sung Kiang
brought the gallant Colonel the sum of ST.
500 francs. Such remuneration would have
stimulated the ardor of men more scrupu.
lOus than Mr.. Ward.
The city of Using Pow, near Shanghai,
was taken by the rebels. The Tou-Tai was
in great trepidation, but Ward treasured
him, and offered to make all right for a
personal reward of 100000 francs. Ar
irving at Using Pow, he gave the signal of
assault, and was received by a shower of
balls. But Ward is brave, and be deter
mined to prove himself worthy the conf
dence of the Tou-Tai. Twice repulsed,
twice he returned to the charge. Climbing
the walls, with but about fifty of his fol-
lowers, be found himself face to face with
the chief of the Tai-Pings; he fred at him
twice, but missed. "You rascal" replied
his adversary, in good English, L" I'll show
you can fire better than you;" and he did
show it by shooting the Colonel in the
stomach and leg. Yet Ward escaped,
though the greater portion of bis men were
lost. He is now 10 Shanghai; and as be is
of good constitution, it is probable that in
few weeks he will be up and again at the
head Of band of brigands, anxious to re-
pair his illluck."

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
Prentiss, Duel with GhOls0n.

A writer in the Vicksburg Sun furnishes
the following incident of the celebrated
duel between Judge Gholson and s. S.
Prentiss of Mississippi:
The facts are these: At the first fire,
Gholson leaped exactly three feet one inch
and half from the ground mot with ball
through his heart, because the ball had
struck the toe of his right foot, glancing in
a westwardly direction, hitting Gholson's
second in the pit of the stomach, causing
him to double up" with such violence that
an empty pistol be had in his hand flew
forward with such a force as to hit his
principal on the head, causing him to jump
aforesaid, because he was so completely
astonished, believing bis antagonists ball
had hit him on the back of the head! GhOlsOn
was cured Of corn on his right foot, but
had the toethache for a week. Gholson's
second took the cramp collie.
The ball Of his adversary passed 80 close
to the lips Of Prentiss as to take away his
breath, causing him to fall upon the ground,
from which ever afterward he had slight
lisp in bis speech,
The parties were reconciled on the ground
in this manner After they had untangled
and unrolled Gholson's seconds out of the
hard knot, and somewhat relieved him,
Prentiss, lisping considerably, said, "Ghol
son, you owe me dollar" "What for p
said Gholson. "For curing your corn, u
says Prentiss. "No," says Gholson, you
owe me dollar" "What for?" says
Prentiss. Because" said Gholson, "your
ball hit my second in the stomach and
caused him to hit me on the head, which
gave me toothache, and now I'll have to
have the tooth pulled, which will cost me a
dollar"
"Well," says Prentiss, "lets call it
square,"
They shook hands on the spot.

All Saints Day i'm New Orleans.

Yesterday November lsD the people OF
New Orleans spent the greater portion OF
the day in the /" cities of the dead" 10
residents in the Crescent city this was a
customary event, for, in New Orleans, one
of the most beautiful traits that adorn hu-
manity, reverencing and remembering low
ipgly the dead, prevails on All Saints Day,
to the partial, nay, almost entire exclusion
of very other occupation. A strange and
yet most pleasant sight, indeed, it was, to
see the cemeteries tbronged by thousands
and thousands, who appeared for the day to
have laid aside the excitement "of the
times;" to have forgotten the contest now
upon us fraught with such great import
to every individual in this broad country,
and remembering only that the day was
dedicated to the haliowed memories of
friends and relatives gone to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns.
Beautiful, exceedingly, yesterday were
these ordinarily sad places. Tokens OF
affectionate remembrance about the tene--
ments that line those narrow, innumerable
walks, some adjoining mausoleums beautiful
and grand, others lending charm to the
humble graves where lie those who have not
won the worlds riches nor the worlds
honors, but far better, the great wealth OF
true friendship or the inextinguishable afec-
ton of kinship. Stately tombs and lowly
resting places alike evidences that, though
they had forever quilted this world of joys
and sorrows, there were those that remem-
bered all that was good of them, and visited
their graves with every feeling for the dead
that did honor to the living. The orphans
we're not forgotten. The Portuguese, the
Spanish, the New Lusitanos, and other
benevolent societies were at several of the
cemeteries taking up collections for the little
ones left to the charity of the world

Lawyers I'm England.

From the View York Commercial Advertiser.
In England lawyers are designated &C.
cording to their special department of the
profession, as barristers, attorneys, counsel
lors, conveyancers, &C., while in this coun-
try lawyers take all cases that come along.
In England or Ireland young man must
pay 1925 for admission as a student to
Inns of Court, and then for admission to the
Bar in Ireland must pay $3.50, and in
Scotland or England, $3.50. If he is arti.
cled as clerk with any respectable attor-
ney or solicitor be must pay from $500 to
$4,000 premium; must, if university man,
serve three, or otherwise five years for MOTH
ing; must pay $50 stamp duties on his arti-
Giles of clerkship, and 1925 on his admis.'
sion to the profession, for which also the
passing very rigid examination is neces>
sary. After admission the average income
ranges from $500 to $500 a year, higher
prizes being accompanied by correspond
ing number ofpetty ones or blanks.
A recent English magazine deplores the
fact that there are now fewer great lawyers
in England than there have been for one
hundred and fifty years and as proof Of this
fact refers to Sir Frederick Thesiger, Sir
John Jervis, Sir Fitzroy Kelley, Mr.. Math>
ew Hill, MIR. Cockburn, Mr.. Jarman and
Mr.. Hays as the only men in the front rank
of their profession. Mr.. Cockburn is an
accomplished and elegant scholar. Mr.. Kel-
ley a great mercantile lawyer, Sir John
Jervis an acute and fluent speaker, and the
others referred to are great men, but not one
of them it Gays is equal to the illustrious
predecessors of the last century.

Billiards.

The New York Commercial advertiser
gives an interesting account of one Of Mr..
Berger's Billiard Levees in New York,
few days since. The upper tendon of the
city were in attendance. After his usual
fancy and masse shots, Mr.. Berger beat
Dudley Kavanagh French carom game)
SO points in 100, Berger's best runs being
II, IA and l8-Kavanagh's being four SIS
and Sand then beat Mr.. Phelar 20 points
in 80, making runs of IL and IL. The
table used on the occasion was made by
Phelan & Collender, after the model of Nj.
Berger's table. The advertiser says:
The taste for the French carom game is
increasing every day, the science in playing
it being so much greater than in the Amer
lean four ball pocket game, and the size of
the table-which stands lower and is small
er than the American table-being much
more convenient in private houses, where
ladies desire to practice the game, as they
do in England and France, and other con-
tinental States. The size of the French
table is 10 feet by feet, and the balls are
21s inches in diameter-those with which
NJ. Berger makes bis masse shots. being only
inches in diameter. The American table
measures IL feet by 5 feet, and the diameter
of the balls is 2as inches.
At the evening exhibitions NJ. Berger
has beaten his antagonists in all cases, dis
counting amateurs, and playing even games
with professionals, beating White by 26 in
100 points, and 70 in another 100; Bhelau
70 in 100; Lake 60; Geary Il; and Tieman
81 and SO. In his game with Phelan, last
Saturday evening, M. Berger made the
wonderful run of 63-all these games being
at the three ball French carom game; but
it is the general opinion among billiard
players, that if be played the American four
ball carom game, be would not cease count
ing till his physical powers were Frustrated.

TOUCHING INcIDENT.-In Portland, the
other day, horse and cart ran over little
pig. The squeals of the dying pig brought
together crowd of people, including sew
eral medical men. There was considerable
anxiety respecting the unfortunate pig, and
whether he bad any relations. Just then
Salisbury, the comedian, came rushing out
of the house without bis hat, while bis hair
was "tossed by the wind" snake way
there, gentlemen-for heavens sake, make
way" be cried in supplicatibg tones. The
crowd respectfully divided, and Salisbury
approached the spot where the pig was suf,
fering the agonies ofdeath. Heknelt down
reverentially, wiped tear from his eye,
and, as the poor sainted little pig gave his
last,gasp, the comedian exclaimed, in ten
der and impressive manner, Let me kiss him
for his, mother" En-

The Hayes Arctic Expedition.

A letter has been received in New York
from DR.. HAYES, who has command of the
Arctic expedition, in search of an open
Polar Sea. 1t is dated Upper Mark,
North Greenland, August IA. We make a
few extracts from the letter
I shall endeavor by every means to avoid
third years absence. We carry with US,
however, food and fuel for that period, and
in the event Of our being so long detained,
do not fear adverse results. With the
fresh supplies we have on board, believe
we can resist the scurvy. -4
shall, however, avoid every unnecessary
risk of being caught by the winter in the
middle of the ice. Should the prospects of
success appear to be peculiarly discourage
ing, shall return southwark and winter at
one of the Danish settlements.
My party are in excellent spirits, and
earnest in the performance of their duties,
and you may rest assured, that no effort
shall be spared to accomplish the object of
our undertaking in the shortest possible
time. 10 favor this, We have every facility
which experience has Indicated. III
Our camp equipments are of the most
compact and portable description. The
food prepared expressly for the expedition
by the American Desicating Company in
New York, consisting of soup, beef and
potato, is excellent, and fully equals my
expectations. Of this food we have three
thousand pounds-equal to about thirty
thousand pounds of the raw material. l
have tried it during the passage, and con-
slider the several articles united prefera-
BILE to the ordinary pemican. Pernican OF
the finest quality may at any time be made
of our beef by the addition of lard, of
which we have an abundant supply. With
good AND sufficient food, with every essen
tial for the promotion of health and COM
fort, with united and earnest companions,
and with vessel well suited for the SER
vice, have, upon leaving this last outpost
of Christian settlement every reason to feel
greatly encouraged and to expect success.

OLD FAM1LIEs.-The Welsh nobility,
perhaps more than any other, affect ances-
trail trees whose roots are buried in antiqui-
ty. For instance, the Mostyns ap Mostyn
have preserved for three hundred years
pedigree which is not less than seventy feet
long and one foot broad. 1t very modestly
begins with Noah, twists about through
several Royal families of the Old Testa-
ment, until it reaches Edward l., of England.
The French nobility, however, are not far
behind. The Dukes de Lewis consider
! themselves as the descendants Of the Hebrew
Kings, and possess an old picture in which
one Of their ancestors, with his hat 10 his
hand, bows before the Virgin Mary, who
graciously says to him: "Pray keep your
hat on, cousin ~ The Decroys possess
similar painting. Noah, with one foot
already in the ark, calls back: "Save the
papers of the House Of Decroy!"
