s. S, PRENTIss' DUEL WITH GHoLsoN. A
writer in the Vicksburg Sun furnishes the
following incidents of the celebrated duel be-
tween Judge Gholson and s. S. Prentiss, of
Mississippi:
The facts are these: At the first fire, Ghol-
son leaped exactly three feet one inch and
half from the ground, not with ball through
his heart, because the ball had struck the toe
of his right foot, glancing, and hitting Ghol.
sons second in the pit of the stomach, caus-
ing him to "double up" with such violence
that an empty pistol he had in his hand, few
forward with such force as to hit his princi-
pal on the head, causing him to jump as afore-
said. Gholsons second took the cramp collie
The parties were reconciled on the ground.
After they had untangled and unrolled Ghol-
sons second out of hard knot, and some
what relieved him, Prentiss, lisping consider
ably, said: "Gholson, you owe me dollar"
" What for?" said Gholson "For curing
your corns," says Prentiss. l'No," says Ghol-
son, "you owe me dollar2" "What ftr2"
says Prentiss. Because" said Gholson,
your ball hit my second in the stomach which
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 dolar.n
"Well," said Prentiss, "let's call it square"
and so they shook hands and parted.

The PERILs OF ScIENcE.-Some years ago a
large whale was caught at the Nore and towed
up to London bridge, the Lord Mayor having
claimed it. When it had been on London
bridge some little time, the Government sent
notice to say it belonged to them. Upon
which the Lord Mayor sent answer, "Well, if
the whale belongs to you, order you to re-
move it Immediately from London bridge"
The whale was, therefore, towed down the
stream to the Isle of Dogs, below Greenwich.
The late Mr.. Cliff, the energetic and talented
assistant of his great master, John Hunter,
went down to see it. He found it on the shore
with its huge mouth propped open with poles
In his eagerness to examine the internal parts
of the mouth, Mr.. Cliff stepped inside the
mouth between the lower jaws, where the
tongue is situated The tongue is huge
spongy mass, and being at that time exceed
ingly soft from exposure to air, gave way like
bog; at the same time he slipped forward
towards the whales gulet, nearly as far as he
could go. Poor Mr.. Gift was really in dan
gerous predcament; he sank lower and lower
into the substance of the tongue and gullet,
till he nearly disappeared altogether. He was
short in stature, and in few seconds would
doubtless have lost his life in the horrible oily
mass, had not assistance been quickly afforded
him. 1t was with great difficulty that boat
hook was put in requisition, and the good little.
man hauled out of the whales tongue.-Buck-
lands Curiosities Of Natural History.

Suggested by James Hamitons painting entitled "Tht
Sceptre of Egypt shall Depart Away.'

VISITING SCHooLs.-We recommend to the
consideration of our readers the subjoined
sinsible remarks about visiting schools, from
the San Francisco Bulletin:
" If the public only knew what good their
visiting the schools did, they would go up in
mass and crowd the rooms past all endur-
ance. If they knew how it put fresh zeal
into teachers, how it awoke the sleeping am
bition of scholars, how it gave new i'm
pulse to every generous intention, how it
thrust out bodily the feeling that " nobody
knows nobody cares for them +" if the pub
lie only appreciated these things truly, they
would so crowd the school-rooms on all days
that there would be no need of exhibitions"
" receptions" and "public examlnatons."-
Taxpayers grumble about their being taxed
they especially ought to step in whenever
they hear the hum of public school, and
see if their money is wasted. Bachelors
should go to see how other peoples children
whom they help to educate-are improving
their fine facilities. Parents should go from
motives of humanity how do they know but
that the teachers are ogres and roughs
Wouldn't they visit the stables where they
keep their horses? Pioneers should go to see
how the world moves Strangers should go
and see how shockingly verdant they were
in their ideas of California before coming
hither. We should all go, for the little fell
lows who twist uneasily on their seats are
the very chaps that will be digging US under
some day-be administering on our estates
be selling the land where our bones are
crumbling-be raking up our sins and para
ding them in the newspapers. These little
folks are the accredited ambassadors of Pos
terity to our pilgrim generation, and we are
great fools if we do not make friends with
them while we can.

ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE

mur that ran through the ranks changed into
almost deafening shouts:
"The Emperor the Emperor long live the
Emperor"
He appeared, dismounted from his horse,
and then, with his short quick step, he walked
up to the condemned.
"Pierre," said he to him. Pierre gazed at
him and made an effort to speak, but sudden
stupor seemed to overwhelm him. Pierre"
continued the Emperor, remember your own
words of last night. God gives thee life
second time; devote it not to me, but to France.
She too is kind motherI Love her as thou
didst thy first-thine own"
He then turned to depart, and greeting
shouts of admiring love followed him till he
was out of sight.
Some years after this, a Captain of the Old
Guard fell mortally wounded on the field Of
Waterloo.
Amid the din of battle he was heard to shout
in his death pangs:
"Long live the Emperor France forever
My mother Ny motherp

Is dying here in the street

But / can not crawl, for pain;

Alas if my heart were younger.

Power OF ENDURANCE AND DIET.-Experi-
enced trainers of the prize-ring cannot decide
what is the best food for training men up to
their greatest powers of endurance. They
have a prejudice in favor of mutton chops and
under-done beef steaks; but it is by no means
sure that this is best. The Roman soldiers
who conquered the world, and built roads
from Lisbon to Constantinople, and who
were all trained athletes, marching under a
weight of armor and luggage that few men in
our day could carry-lived on coarse, brown
wheat or barley bread which they dipped in
sour wine.
In our own day. the Spanish peasants are
among the strongest and most agile men in
the world He will work all day in a copper
mine, or at the olive press, or the wine press,
under hot sun, and then dance half the
night to the music of guitar. What does
he live on A piece of black bread, an onion,
perhaps half watermelon. You may see
him dipping his piece of bread into horn OF
olive oil, and then into some vinegar, made
hot with pepper and garlic, and then ne Is
happy. Sometimes he gets draught OF
harsh sour wine, but not strong. All the
strong wine is sent to England.
The Smyrna porter walks off with load
of eight hundred weight. His only food, day
after day, is little fruit--a handful OF dates,
few figs bunch of grapes, some oilves.-
He eats no beef, pork. or mutton. his wnoie
food does not cost his penny day.
The Coolie, living on his rice, can out-work
the negro fed on bacon. The ARAB, nVing on
rice and dates, conquered half the world. !.
The most tremendous muscular force, and
the greatest powers of endurance, may be
nourished upon very moderate olet'
