4 CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM.

The Chinese take u curious method
to prevent their pigeons from being
attacked by birds of prey while circIinx
over tho cities or moving from place 70
place. This consists in the employment
OF II small, short cylinder or reed pipe,
in groups Of three or four, or moro.
These are attached to tho back Of the
bird, and so adjusted that ns it fiies
through the air q very sharp sound Is
produced. Varying lengths Of the
bamboo give variety of tones to this
instrument; and when n large number
of birds arc flying together in n single
flock, as 1t Is very frequently the case,
the sound produced by them ~ distinct.
Iy audible for q great distance. 1t II
said that rapaciOus birds are effectively
fcpc}led by this prccaution, so that the
pigeons make their flights with perfect
safety from one point to another.
Farnish is used for coating these BAN.
boo whistles to protect them from mois-
tllrc. This practice is said to have been
in vogue among tho Chinese for q great
many ycars.--Nut,lrc.
The New Orleans Herald says: Two
young Creole gentlemen, mutual friends
who had BECOME much offended at eacl,
other, mot, according to tho code OF
dnctto, in Il room on Esplanatle street,
this morning, each accompanied by q
second, and one surgeon in attendance.
Three shots were exchanged, and at the
third fire, one Of the parties received a
bullet in the hund, which traversed
the arm, and finally passed entirely
through the arm, max ing quite large
hole. Tho men faced each other In thu.
coolest manner, firing promptly at the
command Of "one,"-both reports
sounding like a single shot--until tn,
third round, when there was n sligh
difference. After the combat, theY
were mutual explanations, and the ger
tiern"n are again friends.

SILVER LARE.-A correspondent Of the
Amador Ledger gives the following con-
cerning this romantic place: "Moun-
:airs tall and grand hem the Lake in on
ali sides. and although there are many
ii number 10 two present tie same
aspect Here We behold one thickly
studded with pine trees from one hun
dred and fifty to two hundred feet in
height, looking Us il heaven and earth
another not as high in elevation, which
seems to be mass OF solid rock, arranged
in layers having the appearance Of q
grand stairway leading mp to the skies.
Again We find one on which trees, rocks.
shrubs and grass alternate by reigns,
each one seeming TO have an empire of
its own. The rock appears 10 he mostly
granite, it abounls IL such vast guam
titles, and having the appearance Of
being Of no inferior quality, much
wealth is certainly hidden in it if any
channel Of exploration existed, but such
not being the case nothing can be real
lied. The grade leading down to the
lake is almost hewed out Of solid granite.
\ great amount OF blasting has been
done in order to get a road at all. but
the grandeur, the sublinity of Silver
Lake, mnch more than repays for the
labor and cE~ense requisite to
obtain access t5 it. 1t is about
mile and 4 half in length, and
= mile and a quarter in width.
For several ieet from the shore the water
is transparent. tAe pebbles aIi rocks at
