"ALMosr A DUEL.-The cards which

that DR.. johnson declined a challenge
from DR.. Michel on the same ground

An explorer named Cameron is con-

Of Borneo, race Of men with tails, and
he is going OH, an expedition to investi-
gate the matter. He also states, conf

Africa q similar race of men is known
to exist. More than twenty years ago, i,
Du Couret, well known French trav-
eler IN Africa discovered, in a central
part Of that continent, the existence of
a race called the Mains Mans, or men
with tails; and the evidences laid him
before certain scientific bodies in Paris
were deemed to be conclusive on the
subject. 1t will be interesting to trace
the further developments Of this matter,
since the discovery Of the link between
man and brute will tend to reinforce the
Darwinian theory of species. besides
throwing light on tho natural history of

the peculiar aptitude OF the IRISH for
military affairs. Marshall Neil was
born in Mutet, in 1902. He entered
the Polytechnic School of Paris in 1921.
and the Military Academy of Metz in
1923, and commenced his military ca
reer in 1926 as n second lieutenant of
engineers. In 1861 he distinguished
himself in the Expedition against Con-
stantine in Algeria, and was promoted,
October 25th, 1887, to command the
corps OF engineers ip that province. On
hIs return 10 France he gained dis,inc-
ti,n as a military engineer, and was
appointed colonel in 1870. In ls46 he
accompanied General valiant in an en-
pepediion to Rome. He became gene.
raj OF division in 1853; commanded IN
1854 the siege operations against Bo-
marson, and ipls5s was appointed ad-
jutant to Napoleon Ill, and was em.
plo, ed at the siege OF Sebastopol. In

A DESPERATE Prize FIGHT De:
THEEN GALLAGHER AND ALLEN.--i&.
Louis, August ia disgraoeful and
brutal prize-GgLt took place to-day
between the "bruisers" Gallagher and
Allen, resulting in favor of tho latter
on the, ninth round. Tom Kelly and
Ned O'Baldwin were seconds for Gal
lagher, and Jim Coyne and Bud Ri.
10y for Allen. Larry Vessel was re-
feree. The ring was formed in. a
grove, but the sun poured in feroely.
Will Kearney was ringmaster, and
twenty ringkeepers were appointed to
preserve oader. The fight began at
2.4O.
In the first round Allen was knock
ed down, and bled freely. He was
also knocked down on the second
round. In the third round both re.
ceived and gave heavy blows, termi.
mating in clinoh, in which Allen
went down. At this point several
clubs were thrown at Allen, one Of
which struck him on the cheek, oaus-
ing the blood to Aow> In the fourth
round more teTriao blows wore given
on both sides, terminating in Aliens
favor. The fifth round was favorable
to Allen, although he was knocked
over the ropes. In the sixth round
Gallagher was little slow in coming
up, andSreceived two very heavy blows
on the nose, and others on the breast
and back, and although Allen went
down at the CLOSE, Gallagher got the
worst of the round. The seventh,
eigth, and ninth rounds were all favor
able to Allen, and on tho termination
of the latter the sponge was thrown
up and Allen declared the victor
The fight was short, but it is said to
have been very. desperate. Both of
the men are badly punished.

Important Enterprise,

We arc pleasedsto learn, says the
Co'a'"bi" fha"ie,. Of an important
enterprise on foot, which promises to
be of great value to the farming in
teres's of tho whole State. A Joint
stock company is being formed among
the planters along the lines of railroad
oentroing in Columbia, for the erco.
tion of large mill for pressing oil
i,om cotton seed. The stockholders
will sond tho r seed to tho mill, which
will pay freight, press out the oil, and
return the oilcake, with third of the
profits on the oil to the farmer send
ing the seed. Tho remaining pro6taS
of the mill leave worry handsome in
come to the stockholders. Tho sub
scription books are open at the Office
of Col. VIM. Wallace, and we learn
that the stock is being rapidly sub
scribcd, to be paid cash, payable in
October, and in cotton seed. The
many lines of railroad centreing hero
offer peculiar advantages to such an
enterprise, and large business is
confidently expected, seed having
been already offered from Georgia 4
and from every accessible portion Of
this State. Cotton-seed oil-oake is
readily eaten by all kinds of stock, is
more nutritious and digestiblo than
corn, and the manure derived from it
is four times as valuable as that from
corn, England imports, this cake
largely, and its market value thoro is
from to p cents per pound .(gold,)
while corn brings less than Il cents
per pound. AT present the only value
of cotton seed to our farmers is as MAJ
nure for corn. It. is thus converted
into feed at the delay, expense. and
risk of making the next years corn
Drop. To have it immediately con.
verted into oil.cake Is to get a bird in
the t hand worthy. in every sense, two
in the bush. ''7''' ~

The Democratic party IN Ohio have,
no doubt, lost the State election, through
the refusal Of General 'Rosecranz to ac-
cept tha Democratic nomination for
Governor. a rta~
General Rosecranz, as his friends
say, is by no means indifferent to polit-
cal@hopors. but he probably objected to
some portion of the Democratic platform,
for he says he desires to pay his debts.
| LEARN from Democrat,, politicians who
have just arrived here from Ohio and
other Northwestern States, that the
mass Of the people are conscientlously
and obstinately opposed to paying any
more of the principal and interest of the
public debt. The policy Of absolute
and entire repudiation is likely to pre-
vail in the West at no distant day. The
half way projects urged by Mr.. Pendle..
ton and others do not meet the present
views either OF tax payers or non tax
payers. Senator Sherman has thought
that his pending scheme would appease
the Western clamor against the debt.
But he will find It to be useless. The
people care nothing about the deduction
Of the rate Of interest proposed by Sena.
tor Sherman. They are against paying
any interest. The non tax PAYERS who
are, nevertheless, voters, oppose the
payment Of any debt as a dangerous
example either for public or private
transaction Cor. Charleston Cour,er

A San Francisco letter makes the
following mention Of Mr.. Choy Chew,
one Of the !. Chinese merchants who
were recently honored with a public
reception in Chicago: "With Mr..
Choy-Chew, one of the delegates, I
happen to be acquainted. Ho had
gone back to China to take wife of
the daughters of his pooplc-a reve-
lation which may prove disappointing
to some of our eastern ladies, for he
is rich, young and handsome; and
with his blushing bride, who was at
tended by two maid servants he had
taken passage on the Pacific mail
steamer Colorado. The dainty lady,
who is quite beauty after the style
of her country, never ventured to
show her little feet outside of the
door Of her stateroom but Choy- Chew,
speaking English perfectly, and thor
oughly versed in our American usages,
took his seat at the dinner table among
the other passengers. But for the
flowing silk of his national costume,
he would hardly have been detected
as foreigner, yet coarse old sea
captain took offence at bis presence
and insulted him to suchsan extent
that the gentle Chinaman,' to avoid
trouble afterwards, took his meals in
his own room. -ta 'aEs
