a BLOODY F1srIcCFF.-Last Monday
a couple of men met in the road between
this city and Peoria, and, after exchang-
ing a few words, engaged in hartl-con-
tested and lengthy fight, in which both
were terribly battered up and covered
titles from their noses, eye-ses and other
orifices. After they had fought until
both We're exhausted from over-exertion
and loss of blood, they ceased active
hostiiities and each took his way home.

:by fire, goods and building sharing the

jus. IN time to enable him to escape,
minus his outer garments. There was
no insurance sn the house, but we are
informed that Mr.. s. had q policy of

is sad to be at the bottom of the trans

A PIucIky Girl.

From the Kansas State Record.l
As a gentleman was coming into towr
the other day on Wakarusa road, he no
ticed a young girl ride out Of Mr. Elan
dey's yard mounted on pony. Pretty
soon tho pony began to display bad
temper and very shortly aferward threw
the girl, who turned somersault in the
air and strdck on her head in the road
with terrific force. The gentleman got
out of his buggy and went to her assist
ance. He found she had got bad fall
and had a cut across her forehead. He
advised her to abandon pony-riding for
the present, but she wiped the blood
from her face, and Insisted on mounting
her fractions steed again Anxious for
her safay, her friend watched for future
developments, and in q few minutes she
was hurled over the pony head, and
this time struck with such force it SEEM
ed as if she must have broken every
bone in her body. The pony took the
opportunity to gallop off. She was again
helped to her feet, half stunned and
covered with dust, and urged to abandon
riding such a fractions brute; but clutch
ing her riding-whip she started of in
pursuit of the pony, evidently deter
mined TO ride him or get her neck
broken in the attempt. We did not learn
ths yobng lady's name. She was appa-
rently about sixteen years Of age, and is
evidently death on ponies.

Duel in ShrevepOrt-F Four Shots
.r, Exchanged.

/ INtL UnHl".
We copy as follows from the Shreve
port Gazette Of the 9th:
Our city was somewhat excited on
Sunday morning the Sd inst, by duel
being fought on the opposite bank OF
the river. The facts in the case we will
briefly narrate, as they have come to our
knowledge. Early Sunday morning the
rumor was rife on our streets that diff
Guilty had occurred the night previous
between Mr.. Ned Phelps and Mr. Chas,
Il. Hughes, comparatively new oitigens
of the place What the point of differ
ence was, or what the provocation, we
have not been able to learn, but blow
on the cheek was struck and prompt de-
mand for the satisfaction usual among
gentlemen when the insult direct is
given, followed Early on the next
morning the necessary and preliminary
arrangements were effected through the
services Of their respective friends, Mr..
j. H Boothe acting for Mr.. Ned Phelps,
and Mr.. Andy Curry for Mr.. Hughes.
At ten o'clock, accompanied by few
friends, the parties crossed the river in
skiffs, and the ground stepped oT, the
weapons charged and all things pro-
nounced ready. When the principals
took their respective positions, the word
was given and each fred two shots, as
was the understanding, with six-shooters,
at twenty PAGES. Neither shot took
effect, though both did good shooting,
the bhly whistling in remarkably close
proximity to the ears of the opponents.
Through the. Intervention of mutual
friends the difference was then amicably
adjusted and the matter ended. There
was considerable interest manifested,
and eye-Witnesses speak Of the caolnhss
and nerve of both parties when looking
down the charged muzzles of the death
dealing weapons. We are pleased to
state that there was no blood shed.

ersed slippery paths where one false step
would have sent the unfortunate pilgrim
bounding over the rocks into the silent
waters of the Dead Sea, upon whose
CLASSY surface swimming ducks might
sleep, moved by the impulse of their
dreams. On and through Clevelands s
Cabinet and Sullivan's Avenue we went,
on a Natural Bridge crossed River Styx,
ferried over Water Of Leith, hurried
through Echo Hall, and before we were
scarcely, aware of it, stood on the brink
of the g0tsat 5 saI aoit
l WONDERFUL RIVER ECHO.
Here my pen faltersI No words can
paint the grandeur and sublimity Of the
scene. The band, with the older mem
bers of our party, were put in one of the
boats--a small barge-while we walked
on 10 the upper landing, half mile dis
tant, and sat down upon the crumbled
mass Of rocks that rise high above the
waters edge, to await the coming of the
boat. While we gaze at the dark, silent
water, seemingly walled in far down in
the depths of the earth, shut out from
human hope or help, the mind involun-
\ tarily asks, What If ancient order sud-
denly return and these walls unite, as
science tells us they were once united 7
But soon these thoughts are broken. A
pistol is fred by the boat party, not yet
in sight. The echQ breaks upon us;
then, mingled with sweet melody, seems
to die away amid pits and hollows, but
suddenly breaks again upon the startled
ear; then repeates in slow, declining re-
ports from rocky wall, cavern and
dome, again to renew and again to die
away in rr

of splintered sound. Then the boat
came round the river bend and suddenly
lighted up the gloomy cavern. The
novel. costumes of the party, the rehec-
ton Of the lights upon the water, the
strains of melody mingled with the sweet
songs Of our ladies, echoing and rever-
berating along the rock-ribbed walls of
that gloomy cavern, and the handsome
and intelligent faces of the ladies, were
sights too grand for description. The
effect upon different persons is curious
study. helnoisy are still, the garrulous
silent and the most profound are awed
to a solemn reverence. With people of
deep emotional nature, the eyes glisten
and fill with tears ''l -''.
After leaving the river we passed over
Rocky Mountains, and soon reached the
end of the Cave, where we drank from a
small lake, the name of which have
forgotten, and then turning our faces
toward the entrance we rapidly retraced
our steps, and at halfpast nine in the
evening reached the hotel, where we
supped, danced, sang and talked until
the night was far spent, and all clamored
for rest and sleep f r pi
"Sweet sleep knits up the raveled skein of
care" +-i .-...
The next day, at Louisville, your cor
respondent reluctantly said goodbye to
the party of Cincinnatians. The hand
some, intelligent faces, and sociability OF
the ladies', and the kindly courtesy of
the gentlemen, will not be forgotten.

While some men were drilling, the
other day, into the roof at the west end
Of the Hoosac Tunnel, Massachusetts,
the foreman discovered that the rock
above them was moving, and shouted TO
them to run for their lives. They had
barely escaped when a mass Of rock,
weighing twenty-five tons, fell upon the
place where they had been working.
