that sort, but totally unrrepared for the

of the Justice chamber, a tall. gaunt Arab
was dragged in to receive final sentence
from the Bcy. Having been already con.
demned for murder. the Drngoman OF the
Consul General, who accompanied me, told
me that il not pardoncd the execution would
take place Immediately, and fastened me
out of tho palace to take up places in 'front.'
We had scarcely done SO when the crowd
issued forth from the gates, headed by Bahia

py'cnfiss' Duets.

Mr.. Milburn. the blind preacher, 70 lee:
turing in the Southwest, upon the life and
character of Sargent 8. Prentiss. the fam0us
Mississippi orator. The following extract
from his lecture st Memphis, relates to
Prentiss' dueling adventures.
Prcntiss was brave msn-brave q ever
lived. He was not quarrelsome person.
not pugnacious But as fighting was the
order OF the day in Mississippi, Prentiss did
not shrink from any responsibility that
might fall upon him in that way.
lie fought only two duels: one was with
Foote When everything was in readiness
for the little ceremony, and the great crowd
Was gathered on the ground, so dense that
there was lane left for the passage OF the
bullets. Prcntiss heard q noise behind him,
and turning round saw . halt. clad urchin
climbing tree not far in his rear; the fine
instincts and wit of the man were evinccd
in his almost fatherly adm0nitiOn to that
youngstcr: ''Get down, sonny" said he;
'.you orc in dangerous fix there; Foote Is
shooting quite wild to day."
He had another, or one that came very
near berg another. He was in bis house:
and q crude, half savage came to him. and
entering the room, said that ''hear'n tell be
was very brave man; he just wanted to
have fight right thar" Prentiss treated
him very gentlemanly, gave him cigars, a
few drops Of brandy. but finding he could
not be Modified. he told him to come the
next day and lie would see what could he
done for him. The be llicOse individual re-
tired, not half satisfied, and after some
hours. when heavier draughts of liquor had
intensified his belligercnt propensities, he
returned. 1t was then three O'Clock in the
morning: he reused Prentiss out OF his bed
and insisted on THAT ar fight" He could
not be put off. So Prcntiss called up his
colored factofum. loaded his pistol careful.
~, and then the trio went out on the piazza
to fight. The ncgrU's business was to stand
in the rear of the centre of the scene, hold.
ing candle. and to give the word accord
ing to the requirements of the code. It was
u sublime moment for Cuifec.
He was overcome with vanity when he
considered the splendor of the situation.
and while the principals were cycling each
other and mentally measuring and aiming.
the gloriicd black was viewing himself all
over with the candle, and saying to himself
in audible tones, yah. yah, dis var chile is
no joke; dis yar chile is guinc to see jewel.
all to hisself; dis var chile am de two sec
onds in dis var big jewel-yah, yah" The
man who had come TO slay Prentiss for the
purpose of convincing him that he was the
Drawer man. slung away his pistol in dis.
gust, and said. ''Prentiss. are We going to
shoot at each other here on this little stoop.
in the dark, wi it'll no one to look on but this
your nlggcr?" The situation was too ridic.
ul0us for him. There was no glory in il,
and he could not bear the thought Of being
shot, unless half the State were there to
look on.
