Too DRUNK TO FIGHT TIE DUEL
How two dcvotees Of the cote duetto got
too drunk to come to time and fight a
duel they had arranged is thus related by
the Petaluma Crescent, of the 10Th inst
About > o'clock yesterday morning, as
we were vending our way homeward
from the Crescent office, our attention
was attracted by small party Of men
assembled in the billiard room of the
American Hotel. Their apparently ex-
cited demeanor aroused our professional
curiosity. Upon inquiry information was
vouchsafed to us that duel was on the
tapis. We were intensely delighted at
the prospect Of an unusually sensational
item for our columns, and like the "steed
that scenteth the battle aiar off," our
whole soul painted for the fray. The pre-
liminares were being arranged, and part
ing requests and messages were being
sent by the two determined men who, at
sunrise, were to face each other in deadly
combat. The cause Of the difficulty grew
out of dispute about a half dollar,
which one Of the young men alleged to
be due him from the other on game Of
pool which they had been playing. One
Of the parties had made an assault upon
the other, but the latter, being the small
er of the two, deprecated such unseem-
ly violence, and demanded that their
differences be settled according to the
code. In pursuance Of this he drew up
the following challenge on blank leaf
torn from his pockct-book a: VIII you
meet me at the Hay Stack at 1880 O'Clock
this morning? If you mean fight, sign
your name" This paper was signed by
both parties, and siX-shooters were select
ed as the weapons. The next question
was as to the seconds. We.were honor
ed by being requested to ofIiciate in that
capacity, but as we were fearful that we
might be struck by the bullet intended
for the principal respectfully declined,
with many expressions Of good will.
Despite the determined aspect of the bel
ligerents, the bystanders seemed disposed
to cast aspersions upon the courage Of the
redoubtable warriors, and bets were Of
fercd and taken as to which of the par
ties would fail to be on the ground, etc.
The stakeholder of all these bets deposi-
ted them in the safe Of the bartender,
and many sympathizing drinks were
taken. That we might be able to be upon
the ground in good season, we left as
soon as the prelminaries had been ar
ranged, to get little sleep before the
| dawning Of the eventlul morn. AT day
/ light we were on the street, to accompa-
ny the party to the scene Of contest, but,
| sad to relate, were informed that the par
ties had remained there so long, indulg-
ing in parting drinks, that the principals
were 50 drunk that they had been put to
bed, and We're not likely to awake till
long after the appointed time. Sadly
ruminating upon the adage that white
man is mighty uncertain," we returned
to our couch to finish our slumbcrs, to
dream Of whistling bullets, glittering
bOwies, and torrents of blood but more
especially of the great conqueror, Alco-
hol, who had SO remorselessly intcrfercd
with our prospects Of an item"

SAYS the Sacramento Union, of the
10Th: At s. Aliens drug store, j street,
between Sixth and Seventh, there is a
tarantula of large size. Night before
last it was determined to test its powers
by giving him a mouse upon which to
feed. The animal was placed inside the
globe-like that in which goldfish are
kept-and stood near the center unde-
termned which way to move. The tar
antula having formed plan of battle,
commenced circling around him, weaving
a web, but the mouse subsequently broke
through It, Seeing that this plan would
not work, the tarantula laid down, grab
bed the mouse with his legs, and finally
got him just right, gave him squeeze
and bite. The mouse responded with
a single squeak and gave up the ghost,
and his enemy then proceeded to deyour
him.

TARANTULA FIGHT.-Last Tuesday,
says the Merced People of April 18th, we
witnessed something that was new and
novel to us. 1t was nothing less than a
combat between two tlrantulas, which
was short but fierce, and resulted in the
death OF both. These poisonous insects
being numerous hereabouts, they are
drowned out of their holes by those who
are fond Of seeing them fight, and are
irrltated TO such an extent by their cap
tors that when they once get started they
fight till one or both receive their death
wound.

LIBERAL DILEMMA.

The New York Times pushes the Lib

" Two facts are obvious with reference

with the Democrats, and the other, that
such II com blnaton is necessarily fatal TO
any reforms which its authors may seek >"
Another element of disintegration and
disappointment at the first gathering of
the heterogeneous clans consists in the fact
just fairly announced by Father Horace
that first, the Liberal Republicans are to
manage the Convention, and second that
he will not stay with tiff protection is not
one of the planks of its platform. What
will be lett for the States Rights Free
Traders it is very hard to discern, and to
suppose that Democrats will fall into this
