Coon WORKMANSHIP. - Solomon's

hammer, or chisel, or any tool in Jeru-
salem. All the work of shaping and
fitting was done at the quarrios and

fashion.
II isa curious fact that tho six hun
dred ren who are employed in cutting
granite at Dix Island, Me-, for the
New York Post Office, cannot prepare
material fast enough for the two men
who are employed to set the blocks
Each block Of granite is cut, trimmed,
faced, and accurately numbered ac-
eordng to tho working plans. When
1t arrives al the site of tho building
only two men are required TO SET il,
aided as they arc by steam hosting
apparatus. Every stone is made 10
fit exactly in the space intended for

supervising architect, that it is stated
that the superintendent of tho Post
Office building has only been obliged
to order one stone during the entire
work thus far, and the foreman at
Dix Island insists that the missing
one was sent, but was lost in the trans
portation.

Twins, by Jove.


The Pacific Express train on tho
Panhandle railroad left the Columbus
depot on Friday evening last, under
the charge OF Conductor Drury.
Nothing transpired TO disturb the
monotony of tho conductors call on
drowsy passengers for tickets, gen
tlemen," until the train was between
Dennison and Steubenville. Then ho
was notified that lady passenger de-
sired his presence. lie found the
lady evidently in some trouble and
embarrassment. To his affirmative
response to the query whether be was
married, the Indy stated that she was
on her way from Cincinnati to meet
her husband in Now York, any that
crisis was impending, involving the
appearance OF an additional passenger
This startled tho conductor of course
but with heart as big as an elephant
he set to work to make tho lady com.
Portable. Tho passengers we're hastily
shuft1ed into another car, and such
female assistance as could be procured
on the train was brought into requisi-
tion. In brief time tho little stranger
"a 6ne bouncing girl is the phrase
put in appearance, and the conductor
congratulated himself on his happy
escape from dilemma. With heart
overwhelming with sympathy, he ar.
ranged an impromptu wardrobe for
the very young lady from his own
anderclothing 1t was not exactly ia
style of those "infant-out-6ts" adver.
tised in the New York papers, yet it
served q good purpose, But this is
not all. The train left Stubenville
on time, and was soon laundering
through and around the hiRs OF West
Virginia, when the conductor received
another shock. This time it was "a
fine bouncing boy" Twins, by jovc!

linen went 20 start the little fellow on
his journey through the world. Then
for fear of what might happen, the
train was hurried up; in due time il
reached Pittsburg, and the lady aud
the two unticketed passengers were
tenderly conveyed to comfortable
quarters at the Union-depot hotel,
when telegram was forwarded TO the
husband in New York, which proba.

last advices the mother and children
were doing well. The twins certainly
commenced life under extraordinary

THE DUELLO IN ASIA.
Mortal Combat Betweeu Two Con-
sulS.


HoNG -KoSG, August l0.-The old
spirit of chivalry as manifested in the
mobile" art of duelling is not yet entirely
extinct. Hong Kong has been the scene
of a duellist rencontre between Mr.. Leon
Checa, Consul for Spain at Hong Kong
and Mr.. Tore Bueno, Peruvian Consul
at Macao, who, it will be recollected, was
recently tried before the court at that
place. The origin of the dispute seems
to have been some insulting expressions
which we're used in reference to certain
card debts, and which Mr. Tore Bueno
considered wounding to his dignity as a
gentleman. He therefore sent a chal-
lenge to the former. Mr.. Checa choos-
ing the rapier, weapon of which he is
reputed TO be master, Mr. Tore Bueno
replied that his right arm was too weak
for sword play, and requested thatythe
pistol lin the handling OF which he is
known to be profcient) might be substi-
tuted.
The principals, their seconds aud two
medical gentlemen spanish J, with some
others holding official positions, reached
the ground in due order and at the APP
pointed time. The ground was meas
ured of, and Mr.. Tore Bueno won the
toss for the first shot at twenty-five
PAGES. At the signal be fred and missed.
Mr.. Checa then fred at twenty-five
PAGES, and likewise missed. Tore Bu-
emo then fired his second shot at min eteen
PAGES, and again failed to hit as did also
Mr.. Checa at sixteen PAGES. Tore
Bueno's third shot, at thirteen PAGES,
was very close, almost grazing Mr..
Checs's nose, but it fortunately went
clear.
Mr.. Cheea then exclaimed, "You see,
gentlemen, that he intends to kill me ]
he is aiming at my head. would gladly
fire in the air, but dare not, as he
would shoot me like dog from seven
PAGES. So must stop his pistol practice
for the future" Mr.. Cheea then aimed
at his opponents right arm, and the ball
took effect just inside the joint, under
the collar bone, and Tore Bueno fell.
One Of the gentlemen present burst into
tears, and the medical men Immediately
went to the assistance of the wounded
duellist. Mr.. Chees then left the ground,
and Mr.. Tore Bueno, though wounded,
was able to walk back to the boat, and
was removed on board The Spanish man
of-war Patino. 1t appears that the
wound is not dangerous. The ball has
since been extracted, and Mr.. Tore
Bueno is said to be progressing favor
ably. Af tEt
The affair has naturally been the sub
ject of great deal of comment, and the
general feeling is very strongl ly against
the whole proceeding.

Of burlesque and low comedy. The con.

At the fairs one can see how primitive
the habits of the common people are,
how limited their wants. They prepare
their food like gips.es, wrap themselves
up in their blankets or sheep-skin coats,
and sleep on the ground or under their
stalls or wagons more serenely and
soundly than their lords and masters do
under silken canopies on beds Of dainti-
est down. The earth literally serves
them for a couch, and the sky for roof;
the native elements are their friends;
their rugged constitutions and hard
hands their stoutest allies and frmest
supporters. Modern refnements and
luxuries have in nowise effeminated
them; they are as intrepid and hardy as
when they fought against Soliman the
Magnificent and fell with Tokolyi.
The convocatiou at the fairs is diver
sifed enough In addition to the Hun
garians there are Greeks, Servians,
jews, Wallach.ans, Bohemians, Croats,
Sclavonians, Moldavians and Turks.
But even these may be considered part
of the native population, as the origin
and composition of the Magyars has
always been an open and unsolved ques-
ton with ethnologists. They have been
pronounced Avars, Mongoians, Tartars,
Firms, 0smanlis, Calmucks, and

A Hungarian Fair.

The four annual fairs. held ct Pesth,
though they have declined of late, arc Of
much importance, and supply half Of
Hungary with their commodities, sold or
exchanged for honey, hides, wool, wax
and slibowitzs, species of brandy pre-
pared from plums, and fully as fery as
Russian vodka. On these occasions the
peasants flock in from every part Of the
kingdom, and in their varied and strik-
ing costumes make fine objects for the
artists pencil. Many of them look as
il they had stepped out Of the fourteenth
or fifteenth century, for they have any,
thing but modern appearance, attired
in their strange garb, frequently wearing
leather jenkins and undressed skins.
They are very lighthearted and merry,
as a rule, and dance and sing, lahgh and
love, tipple and quarrel after the man
ner OF fcontemporaneous Irishmen. They
give foreigner far better insight into
the national character than do those in
the upper ranks Of life. They are ig-
norant and, for the most part supersti-
tious; but they are sturdy and indie
pendent and exceedingly patriotic, hold
ing that God created Hungary,
and that it matters very little
Who is responsible for the remainder Of
the world. They delight TO ride on
horseback, being very skillful eques-
TRANS, and scamper over the broad plain
like Bedouius Of the desert. Beth sexes
take part in this recreation, and have
often seen man and woman dashing fran

when weary Of carrying them, would
