Robert J. Walkers Duel.
From De New OrIeans Tlme..


In our chapter on dueling, in last
Mondays Mosaic, We omitted an
amusing incident which occurred
good many years ago between two
men in Mississippi, whose names have
since become historical in the annals
of this country, We refer 10. Robert
J-SFaIker and Doctor William NJ.
GWin, Duke Of Sonora. An alteTca-
tion occurred between them which leG
to q challenge from Mr.. Walker.
Walker was a man of remarkably
diminutive size, while the Doctor tow
cred like giant, with the Drawn and
bone Of a London porter. Walker
was bent on fighting; but the Doctor
who was naturally a jOyIal and kind
hearted soul, did not Ael at al ag-
grieved toward his adversary.
Be that as it might, the Doctor az
eepted the challenge, and chose the
Indian war tOmahawk as his weapon.
The terms were so arranged that Oh a
given day the cOmbatants were to be
posted one hundred and fifty yards
apart, and at a given signal, to rush
past each other, like knights in
tourney, fiingiug their tOmahawks il
their course.
The Doctor caused it to be bruitcd
abroad that he praeticed every day in
a savannah, a few miles away from
the town where both resided. Piqued
with curiosity, Mr.. Walker allowed
himself to be persuaded to visit the
spot surreptitiOusly, and view the
achievements Of his antagonist Not
so surreptitiously, however, that DIR.
Gwin was not aware whose pTying
eyes were fixed upon his move
ments.
Measuring of one hundred and fifty
PAGES from the solitary stump of
pine tree, the Doctor bounded with a
spring and q yell that would have de-
lighted ChingaehOok, the venerable
padre of the last of the MOhegans; his
tomahawk poised high in the air, q
grin Of demOniac ferocity lighting up
his strOngly-marked features. As he
neared the stump he projected the
with powerful sweep Of his
arm, clean up to the handle into the
soft pine, and, painting, came to 4
dead halt.
There was something so lUdicTOu~ly
savage in all this, that Mr.. Walker
and his companion burst inyOiUntari-
ly into q fit of laughter from their
ambush. The laugh betrayed them,
q reconciliation took place, and up tp
the breaking out 0f the Confederate
war, and, it may be, up to Mr.. Walk
er's death, they were fast friends

anOther Cure for Cancers.

A piece of sticking PLASTER Is put
over tie c3ncer with n circular piece
cut out Of the centre q little larger
than the cancer, so that the cancer
and a small circular rim Of healthy
skin next to it are exposed Then a
plaster made of chloride of zine, blood
root, and wheat flour, is spread on a
piece of muslin Of the size Of this cir
cular opening, and applied to the can
Ger for tWenty-fOur hours. On re-
moving it, the cancer will be found to
be burnt into, and appear OF the color
and hardness Of an old shoe sole, and
the circular rim outside of It will ap-
pear white and parbOiled, as if ScaIded
by hot steam. The wound is now
dressed; the outside rim soon sepa-
rates; the cancer comes out a hard lump;
and the place heals up. The plaster
kills the cancer, so that it sloughs on.
like dead flesh, and never grows again.
This remedy, discovered by DIR. Fell,
of London, has been used by him for
six or eight years, and not a case has
been known of the re-appearaTce Of
the cancer, where this remedy has
been applied. 1t has the sanction of
eminent physicians and surgeons of
London, but has not till recently been
used in this country. Ifit is what is
claimed for it, this terrible disease will
be shorn of most of its terrOrs. The
application is painful, but the pam is
OF comparatively brief duration, which
any one so afflicted would eheerfully
endure. -lMlUdUkee Free Democrat.

Josh Billings on Strawberries.

The strawberry liz one Of natur's
swee pets. She makes them worth
fifty cents the fust she makes, and
never allaws them to be sold at a
mean price.
The color Nv the strawberry is like
the setting of the sun under thin
cloud, with delicate splash Nv rain
III it; its fragrance liz like the breath
NV baby when it fust begins to eat
wintergreen loZzengers; its flavor is
like the nectar which an Old-fashioned
goddess used to leave in the bottom
NV the tumbler, when Jupiter stood on
Mount Ida.
There iz many breeds Nv this de-
lightful vegetable, but not mean one
in the hull lot
| think i have stole them, LAYING
around loose, without any pedigree,
in somebody's tall grass, when was
q lazy schOOl-bOy, that eat dreadful
easy, without any white sugar on
them, and even bug occasionally
mixed with them in the hurry NV the
moment. Cherrys IL good, but they
are too much like sucking a marble
with a handle to it. Peaches il good,
ifu don't get emmy ofthe pin feathers
into your lips. Watermellons will
suite ennybOdy who is satisfied with
half-sweetened drink; but the man
who can eat strawberries besprinkled
with crushed sugar and beshattered
with kream (at somebody's else's ex-
pense) and not lay his hand on his
stummak and thank the author of
strawberries and stummaks, and the
phellOw who pays for the Strawberries,
is a man with Worn out conscience
"a man whose mouth tastes like
hole in the ground and don't care
what goes down.
