ADEADLY DUEL.-George Slawson,
of Visallia, writes the following de
tails of hideous tragedy to the Vir-
ginia New Enterprise "There has
been another terrible fight with one OF
the escaped state prison convicts. The
particulars are as follows: Francis ).
Armistead, the man who was one OF
the foremost in the taking OF Roberts,
Norton and Black, found the track OF
Charley Jones about fifty miles from
the head of Long Valley, on the San
JOAQUIN river, and trailed him to my
sheep camp, where he was stopping.
Armistead had some talk with Jones,
telling him he wanted to hire man
to driye horses to Arizona. Jones
hired to him for the trip, and thus
matters rested until morning. In the
morning Armistead told me what was
up, and said that he expected to have
HI before he got through. While
we were talking, Jones went to the
house and got my Henry rifle, when
he came out and said, know your
business. You want to take me back
to Nevada. | will die first When
he had thus declared himself, he at
once drew up and fired at Armistead.
Armistead at once returned the fire,
his shot taking effect in Jones right
breast. The fight now began in right
earnest, and both men being armed
with Henry rifles, it was fearful. There
was almost constant stream OF fire |;
and it seemed that nearly every shot
took effect. The men were about
thirty steps apart. Jones kept giving
way, Armistead following up till he
fell from loss of blood.
When Armistead fell, Jones rushed
upon him, but Armistead raised his
gun again and fired, shooting Jones
through the head, and killing him in
stantly. Thus ended the most des-
perate fight ever witnessed in the
country. Armistead fired fifteen
shots, hitting his mark twelve times ;
while Jones, the convict, fired eleven
shots, nine of which took effect upon
the body of Armistead, and either OF
wounds inflicted would probably have
proved fatal. Armistead lived about
two hours after the fight, He was the
coolest man ever saw. He said that
if he had killed Jones he was willing

PERILs OF PEDEsTRIANIsM ON A
RAILROAD TRACK.-Ahont half-past
two o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
Seventeenth Ward was the scene of
another one of those distressing acci~
dents from the cars which have been
so frequent i'll that neighborhood of
late.
1t seems that one. Henry Taylor, a
German, who resides on the hillside
near the track of the railroad, had de-
eitled to remove his family and effects
from the house which he had been oc-
cupying to another one Ia the neigh
borhood. To save the expense of
hiringa wagon. he had undertaken

Harvey Thacker, son-in-law of
Daniel Boone, born in Buncombe
county, North Carolina, in the year
1743-I23 years ago-lied at the res
idence of his son Harvey, aged 20, in
Shasta county California, week before
last. He is supposed to have been
the oldest man in the United States,
if not in the world. No mention is
made of his life record during the
Revolutionary war, though he was
just thirty three years old when the
war broke out, but he is said to have
served after he was seventy, under
Gen. jackson at the battle of New
Orleans, under Harrison at the battle
of Tippecanoe, and also in the Black
Hawk war in Illinois.

DR.. Mary Walker has enlarged ideas
of craftsmanship and all that sort of
thing. She met General Butler the
other day and initiated the following
dialogue General Butler will you
introduce into Congress bill if pre-
pare it2 Certainly, | shall be
pleased to introduce bill for you !;
but cannot pledge myself to adyo-
cate it, Are you representative
of the people ~ 81 am" And do
you not represent women in parti-
cular-in short, are you not q wo-
mans man q" The General answered
to the effect that he was decidedly a
wOman's man. The doctor then said
that any person, or any class of per-
sons, who possessed a moiety of JUS
tice would decide without hesitation
that it was his duty as such represent
alive to not only introduce, but adj
voeate any bill in. favor of those he
represented. At first glance the doc
tor would appear to be right; and we
suppose there never was woman i'll
this world who glanced twice at an
important subject without piercing it
with her eagle eye, making the whole
come out exactly to suit her purpose
and being entirely obliyious of all
surrounding matter. Nevertheless,
the reply of the General was, that a
bill was form of the right of petition
which sappertained to all citizens ;
that the quantity of the relief asked
must depend upon the merits of the
case. and that he could not undertake
to pledge himself to the support of
any measure of which he was igno-
rant.

In LOVE WITH ALEx1s.-The
Omaha Bee of the 18th instant has
the following singular story: Among
the passengers on the regular train
from st. Louis this morning was
we'll dressed and well-appearing lady,
who made inquiries as to the where
abouts of the Grand Duke. On learn
ing, she expressed a good deal OF re-
gret at not having arrived sooner,
and so conducted herself as to cause
inquiry. 1t was learned that she be-
longs to a small town near st Louis,
and is maiden lady OF some twenty
six, summers, who has conceived the
singular infatuation that she is the
destined wife of the Grand Duke
Alexis. She attempted to take pas
sage on the dueal train, when it left
st. Louis yesterday noon, but was
prevented. She finally secured
ticket on the regular train, and arriv-
ed here only few hours behind the
one i'll which Alexis rode. She ex-
pressed determination OF going with
him on his buffalo hunt, but failed in
securing seat in the Pullman cars.
She belongs to good family, and has
plenty of means to carry out her
whim of following his highness over
the country, but so far her devotion
has met with no reward, Alexis not
deigning to bestow upon her a single
glance. She is not discouraged, how
ever, but seems confident of the ulti-
mate result of her mission, and as it
is leap year, she does not have that
modesty in the pursuit of her object
that is usual with maidens of an I'M
certain age. She first saw the Duke
at his reception i'll st. Louis, and to
use common phrase, she had been
struck" with him ever since. She
says she will only desist when he
make her the grand duchess. She
remained at the Ninth street depot at
the time Alexis was up town, patient
ly waiting for his return. There is
little doubt but she is a monomaniac
upon this subject, and should be taken
care of The railroad authorizes will
do their best to return her to st. Louis
by the next train.

There are two good signs i'll the
midst of the New Orleans difficulties.
The Carter or Custom-House faction
have asked to be received back into
the Assembly, and Mr.. Garter himself
is preparing protest to the Presl-
dent against the conduct Of Gen. En-
ory. The Cartelites have all along
held that the assemblage OF men at
the State-House was no part OF the
Legislature, the Simon-pure article Of
Assembly being that found in the Gem
bar-room and presided over by Mr..
Carter. They now ask to be allowed
seats in the condemned Assembly, the
legality of which they thus acknowl-
edge. These malcontents have also
claimed to have the United States
troops with them now, as they did
when the Custom House was a forti-
fed place in which to hold a Repuh-
liean State Convention. Their pro-
test show that they have been defeat
ed in the very direction in which they
looked for essential re-enforcements.
The next logical event will be the re-
moval of Collector Casey and his
gang. Their continuance in office is
a disgrace to the Administration,
which we may hope Gen. Grants
sturdy good sense will speedily wipe
out.-N. I. Tribune.

the removal himself, using a wheel
barrow to make the transfer. He had
taken several loads successfully, and
was about closing up the job by trun-
ding his stock of firewood along the
track, when an eastward bound train
came laundering along.
Taylor perceived his danger before
the train was upon him, but in his
terror his wits appeared to desert
him. He stood irresolute on the
track, the engineer whistled "down
brakes but not soon enough to stop
before reaching him, and then came
crashing along knocking his wheel
barrow and load down the bank, and
himself almost under the wheels on
the other side.
A moment later the train was stop
ped and Taylor was picked up. The
side of his head presented a terrible
cash, his skull having been broken by
the wheel of the engine. One OF his
arms had also been broken, and his
body was gashed and bruised terribly.
In this plight he was taken to his new
place of residence, where medical aid
soon arrived. His condition was pro-
nounced extremely critical last night.
1t would hardly seem fair to say
that no blame is attached to the railroad
company for this accident, though the
careless habit of walking on so peril
Gus place as railroad track, when
forty or fifty trains are passing per
day, would seem to be without excuse.
One thing is certain, either the tram
passing through the city should be
run so slow that they could be stop
ped in time to prevent accidents OF
this kind, or else so fast as to render
the occupancy of their track at any
time too perilous for any one to I'M
dertake.-CincinRai Enquirer,
