A COck-and-BulI Story.

.rG N n COck-and-Bull Story.
.l The Chicago Times has the fol-
lowing cockand.bull story tele-
graphed it from Iowa:
n e. MUsCATINE, May 0.
Mr.. Meltzar, who lives on the
west side OF Cedar River, about
nine miles from this city, says that
Immediately after daylight yester-
day morning, while feeding his cat.
tie IN the yard, he was astonished
atthe appearance of an immense
structure, evidently a balloon. He
describes the object to be a sort of
aerial boat Of mammoth dimen-
sions, and supported by three i'm.
mense balloons. 1t was quite low
at the time it passed him, and he
was able to distinguish several la,
dies and gentleman looking over
the sides. One of them hallooed
some words which he did not un.
derstand, and threw overheard
flask of curious pattern. Mr.. NJ.
says that he does not suppose any
body will believe his story, but he
is ready to make affidavit that what
he tells is strictly tue. He says
that the hull of the boat appeared
ten or fifteen feet high, by forty in
length, and fifteen or twenty in
breadth. There were windows in
it, through which. the rays of lamps
could be.seen, and a flag floated
from the stern. He could not see
the design. The ladies waved hand
kerchiefs. He thinks he saw ten
or fifteen persons altogether. One
man was high up on the side OF the
center balloon, climbing rope
ladder While he gazed at it in
speechless wonder, a lot of sand
was thrown overheard, and the
ship rose with great velocity,sweep
ing rapidly away in a westerly di-
rection, and in twenty minutes
time was out of sight.

General PmtnaM's Duel.


A certain English officer, who
was a prisoner on his parole or
word Of honor took mortal offense
at some sharp remarks, in which
the General had indulged respect
ing the British, and challenged
him, thinking this was the easiest
way to take satisfaction and cor.
rect the Generals candid opinion
at the same time. Putnam accept
ed his braggart challenge without
any 'hesitation, and proposed to
meet him on the following day.
On the next morning they were
both to be at a certain place at a
specified hour, and Putnam, who
was the challenged party, and of
course had choice Of them, and was
to provide the weapons. so
When the English officer arrived
at the place agreed upon, he found
Putnam seated on a bench, on
which stood close beside him a keg
of what waste appearance,p powder.
A hole was bored into the head.
and a match had been thrust into
the hole, all ready to be lighted.
Putnam removed his pipe from
his mouth,and told the Englishman
to sit down on the bench on the
other side Of the keg.
AS soon as the latter had com
piled, Putnam lit She match by his
pipe, and began to smoke again
with as much unconcern as if there
was no possible danger HIS op-
ponent sat and watched the burn
ing of the match as long as he
could and then began to grow ner-
vous.
The moment the fire came near
the few grains of powder that lay
scattered about the head Of the bar
rel, the officer sprang up in great
haste and ran off at great speed.
You are just as brave man as
| thought you were,' exclaimed the
triumphant Putnam, 'this is only
a keg of onions, with powder
sprinkled over its head to try your
pluck! | see you don't like the
smell ...
He had the laugh against the
Englishman, who never forgave
him the mock test to which he
thus publicly put his personal
courage.
