The Grange advance., 1874-09-02

The notorious Colonel Mosby PRESENTS
with scorn'' the imputation upon his
dignity, manhood and honor in the
charge that he dare not meet Payne
upon the field of honor. The fact is, if
we may believe the Colonel, he is fair
ly pining with anxiety to fight Payne
with pistols, advancing with each
fire. but he does not give distances.
We should scarcely have any objections
to duel of this kind ourselves provid-
ed We could say how far off the other
fellow should be. Now if Cooper or
any other circus chap wants any thing
out Of us on those terms let him come
round. No dodging OF skulking now
Cooper. Ifyou don't like pistols,make
it rifles, bludgeons, six barr i shot guns
or any thing else you please. 49,.

useless to try to save the ship, ordered the
small boat to be launched, which was inn
ruediately swamped. The people Of Say

4 Cure for Unruly Cattyc.

A scientific negro laborcr in Baltimore
has invented hydraulic cure for the ram
page in cattle. A certain festive steer
with well-developed horns broke away
from a drove of his fellows, and thought
he would have some rare fun with the
boys. He chased his tormentors, the dro-
vers, paid his respects to an unoifcnding
dray horse, visited dry goods store and
sent the clerks flying, and behaved IN a
very unbovine-like manner generally. At
last he got tired of the sport and lay down
on the sidewalk to rest. He was secured
and tied fast before he knew that he could
not bring his legs to bear upon the crowd
lie was, however, more unruly than ever,
though his violence took different forms
of expression. Now comes an old negro
with his specific for bovine billiousness.
lie poured water into the left ear of the
animal, and the cooling Ii quiddisappeared
MS fast it could down rat hole. After
his head had been sufficiently watcr-loggcd,
he became as gentle as lamb, and suffer-
ed himself to be led around like a ycarling
