A CHAMPION DlJFlIsT.

New Orleans is the home of q remarkable
character in the person of European Spaniard
named Pepe Lula, who publishes a card ''to
the CHban rengaes and th h15c ,Ia who ?ympathze
of responding on the field Of honor, and in
in their meetings and professions in that city
have shouted ''Death to Spain, death to the
Spaniards." A response 10 Llulla's placard,
which was posted about the Streets, and even
upon the door of one Of the Nice-Presidents
of the Cuban meeting, was received on Thurs
day of last week. The name of his antagonist
was Carlos dc Mayer a native Of Cuba. The
weapons agreed upon were pistols, and the
terms were that the distance should be twenty
five PAGES, the principals to fire at will, The
preiiminaries having been arranged the par
ties repaired to Carrollton on the following
Sunday morning and settled the difficulty
Lula, with his coat buttoncd up, and his hat
pulled well over his eyes, was placed with his
back to the river, and Mayer at twenty-five
PAGES distant. The terms of the cartel were
thereupon explained to the principals each
to advance Gf he choose) and to fire at will.
The seconds having further intmated that
the principals would be responsible them if
either fired before the command, the words
We're pronounced, 'Are you ready Fire" !"
For more than a minute after, neither party
made any movement, but stood with arms
raised, watching what the other would do.
AT the expiration of that time the Cuban, who
had been standing in the attitude prescribed
by the code, made step forward AS he did
so, Pepe Llulla's pistol was discharged. May
er halted, made an attempt to raise his pistol,
and rolling his eyes like one who had received
a mortal wound, fell heavily backward The
bail. upon examination proved to have pen
etrated the breast upon the right side, and to
have come out at the back
Pepe Lula is a gentleman fifty years Of
age, who has been residing in New Orleans
for the last twenty-five years. For the last
ten years he has enjoyed the reputation of q
quiet and prosperous citizen. His previous
history was, however, Of not 50 quiet a
character. The last of the bull fights ever
given in that city came off under his auspices.
At one time he taught fencing, and he has the
reputation Of having the strongest wrist of
any man in the profession. Ills skill in ienc-
ing, or with the ''white weapons is however
no greater than with fire arms. He has been
known to shoot the pipe out OF mans mouth
a dozen yards off, and has frequently shot
niclels out of the hands Of his friends He
has received some half dozen challenges, of
one sort and another, since his combat of Sun
day. One of the challengers proposed that
two pills should be prepared, one Of them
containing poison, and that he should take one
and his antagonist the other; another prop
ostion was that both of the pills should con-
tain poison; a third was that pistols should
be the weapons and only one of them to be
loaded-the parties to stand SO near that death
would inevitably result to one or the other

parties has received the preference, and what

SWeeter the incense we offer to thee,
Brothers once more round this altar of thine!

BIRDS AND THEIR USES.

The following facts are derived from correct
sources of information on the question how to get
rid of the worms. Baron Won Tschudi, the we'll
known Swiss naturalist, says: sWithout birds, sue
cesstul agriculture is impossible They annhate
in few months greater number Of destructive
insects than human hands can accomplish in the
same number Of years. Among the most useful
birds for this purpose may be classed the swallow
wren, robin redbreast titmouse, sparrow and
finch" Tschudi tested titmouse upon the rose
bushes of his neghbor and rid the same in an hour
of innumerable lice. A robin redbreast killed in
the ncghborhood of eight hundred flies in an hour
a pair of night swallows destroyed i'll fifteen min
utes an immense swarm of gnats pair Of wrens
flew to their nests thrty-sX times in an hour with
insects in their bills. He considers the sparrow
very important, n pair of them carrying in a single
day three hundred worms or caterpillars to their
nest,-certainly good compensation for the few
cherries they pluck from the trees. The generality
of small birds carry to their young Ones during the
feeding period, nothing but insects, worms, spiders,
etc. Sufficient interest should be manifested by all
TO prevent the use Of fire arms in the vicinity Of
chards vineyards and flower gardens, as thereby
the useful birds become frightened. London Far
