EY7RAoRDLNARY DUEL. Jlsl :.

By "a remarkable train of circum
stances, Commodore G. K. Garrison, the
New York millionaire. at an early periot
t, of the gold fever became not only citi
zen of Panama but the leading banker o.
that place 3. in fact, the, commanding
figure of the Isthrnus. Among ,othel
strange characters precipitated on thi.
neck of the continent by the startling
discoveries of gold IN California and the
tidal wave Of lemigratien Jthatait started
from every. conceivable quarterlof the
globe, was Capt vi Turner, from The
District of Columbia, a sim, wiir.y man,
of delicate profile, with a Byronic, halt
in his walk, but enterprising, brave, and
impetuous to a fault-and withal gener-
Gus and magnanimous beyond express
sion.
On some business or social occasion,
no matter which, they came in collision.
High and angry words ensued and Tur-
ner in his vengeful mood sent peremp-
tory challenge to the lCommodoreto meet
him in mortal combat at the earliest pos
sible moment. Garrison was the tempered
steel to Turner'S flint ; and without q
moments hesitation he named pistols, on
the beach'cf Panama, at s ociock nsthe
ensuing morning. TsIs NJ
The meditation Of mutual friends was
Of no avail They were both fearless and
exasperated, and under the circumstances
saw no other mode of redress. But
In palliation of all this we should bear in
mind the peculiar temperaments and
early training of the men, and remember
that this occurred in foreign land dur
ing strange upheaval and half demoral-
zation of society, and took place nearly
aquarter of century ago.
The expected meeting was soon ynoised
abroad, and the character and celebrity
OF the men added intensity to the excite
ment prevailing throughout the city.
Turner, like the Commodore, grssped
the possibilities Of passing events, and
resolving to garner from the harvest at
hand, became citizen of Panama, and
embarked in the basinesa d transport
ing passengers from Chagres (the then
Atlantic port to Panama, and vice versa,
as the case might be- This business,
together with his nationality, often

Commodore Garrison H., and they soon 700 be-

IN OPTICAL DEL nsInx.

A very humorous event occurred on
Main street Saturday afternoon. A
flock OF sheep were going along the
street in one direction, and drove of
cattle in another. The latter so discon-
certed the former as to drive them in
every direction. s.i This disturbance
greatly aroused the, combatiye propen-
sites of sturdy ram that hid strayed
on to the sidewalk, and had his attention
raornentarily attracted by certain yarie-
ties in the windows, at which we may
suppose he looked very sheepishly.,
Passing by a glass deor, he espied his
ownrefection in the glass, and, not be-
ing wea posted in optics. he imagined
that some other rascally ram had placed
himself there in a belligerent attitude.
This was too much for his prond and
resentful spirit, and collecting all his
physical force he made desperate leap
with the intention of butting out the
brains of his antagonist. He dashed
through the glass at one bound as easily
as a circus equestrian could jump
through the silk paper that covers the
space inclosed by the circumference Of
a hoop, and alighted in the store, the
glass offering no resistance. to his hardy
head. gsl r7r.-.f i''.- O. a..-sr ai,a :.
We leave the reader to imagine how
the parties within were surprised at the
abrupt arrival Of such a strange custom

not less surprised to conceive the cause
that prompted the animal to perform
such gymnastic feat without any ap-
parent proyocation. -Leri,ayton Press.
