A Queer DusI-FluhtInu In the Dark.

A rather mysterious affair occurred O
few nights ago in the Louisville Medical
College building. orn OF Fifth and
Green streets. Two OF the students
have been paying attention to the same
young lady. who lives but . stones
throw from the Medical College, and
they got into q quarrel with each
other about her. II was at last proposed
that each take a pistol and fight q duel
in q dark room in the college building.
So the pistols were selected, seconds
chosen. and the party. when no one was
in the house at night, entered a room,
and, locking the door behind them. pre-
pared for the encounter.
The light was e~xtinguished, and. at a
proper distance from each other. at the
word, each fred. The gas RAJ liz, and
an investigation only proved that the
powder and ball had been wasted. The
light wal again e1tinguished, and again
at the word the pistols were again dis
charged,
This time n Of the duellists was
found slightly wounded in the left arm.
The honor OF the medical gentlemen
having been thus satisfied. the two be-
came friendly again and shook hands
with each other.-From he Couier-Jour-
nal.

Reasoning in Birds.

Allusion has been made frequently in

New York Observer. TO exhibitions OF more
than ordinary intelligence in birds. Here
is one that came under the writer's ob>er-
walton.
/ was transient resident of an interior
city of one of the West India Islands. and
n pastime in my walks frequently en-
tered st-re to chat with its proprietor.
One day during my visit, a boy came
along. having for sale few small birds
smaller Than the canary-he had just caught
in the fields adjacent to the city. Follow
ing suslden impulse. | purchased one,
and then rejecting that ! was without a
fixed domicil myself. 10 bcstow upon II
the necessary attention. | observed that
the son of the proprietor had one like IL in
4 cage hanging i'm the store. lie acccded to
my request. To allow my bird to become a
co-occupant. This previous sole occupant
procured his drink from a small reservoir
in projection OF the cage. by means OF a
little bucket suspended from a horizontal
stick. crossing above the platform. where
he was 10 stand He drew the water i'm the
way YOU have seen birds draw up the can
of food on an inclined plane, by placing
one foot successfully on the cord, to re-
tain all gained by the beak and 80 bring
the bucket within reach. In the course of
two or three days | called again. and
found that the lad had removed hi~ bird
and left mine the sole occupant. obsci we'd
the latter draw his bucket of water. and
when the bucket was within reach. Stake
his thirst. and then removing his foot. let
the bucket drop into the well. ! said
to the boy. :. / ann sorry YOU took out
your bird 80 soon. a. mine has learned
only part Of his lesson" The bird
continued the same course for two
or three days. and then. through some
process of reflection. he adopted the course
pursued by his teacher. and this was. 10
raise the bucket higher. and swing il into
the platform. where il would serve him a
number of times, thus saving himsNi the
trouble Of 50 frequent drawing. When
the contents were exhausted. he raised the
bucket of the platform. held IL over the
well and let il drop. Naturalists may
make mp their minds a. to what faculty
this birA exercised thus Go prompt himself.
