BOTH KILLED.
Ho,o 1iCo Southern Gentlemen YoUed Yo,o and
kent II.

Hon. Tioo Southern Gentlemen Yo1oed Yo,o and
Kept 1t.
The Statesman, of Austin, Texas,
says: From Serbin comes the news of
the finale of fearful tragedy, and we
are able to gather the following details
in regard to it. Drs. Mallette and Man
ming were both practising physicians in
the same neighborhood, and had been
living their for several years. Some
little professional jealousies sprang up
between them, and Mallette, in time,
began to talk about tie other doctor
in what was regarded as an uniustifa-
bic manner. He did not, as it is said,
copfioe his remarks about Manning in
professional capacity alone, but had
placed him IN wrong social light be-
fore others, and had also INDUCED in
reflections upon the character of a near
female relative of Manning. Manning
finally called upon Mallette to give an
explanation of his course, which resulted
in an agreement between them to fight.
They went to store, selected each of
them butcher knife, and then seeking
an open place commenced a work of
carnage. The knives, in their virgin
purity, did their work we'll, but before
either we're mortally wounded they were
separated, Mallette weltering in his
gore, and Manning wreckof his former
self. Though separated, and death,
in Manning's case, appearing imminent,
fearful vengeance was mutually vowed
upon the spot and faithfully kept, as
the sequel shows. The combatants
slowly recovered from their wounds.
Manning's neck had been almost severed
from his body, and in his recovery he be-
came fearfully deformed, his head being
drawn by the severipg of the muscles
entirely out of its proper position. He
went to the town Of Bolton, in Bell
county, while cOnvalescing, and remained
there for fewmonths. Time rolled on,
and vengeance demanded that the VOW
made on the day of the fight be fulfilled.
The forces of attraction that were TO
bring these two men again together IN
mortal combat were too great to with
stand, and Manning found himself, few
DAYS ago, in the little town of Serbin.
Vengeance had claimed its reward; and
no sooner had Manning become quietly
domiciled at his own home, than TIE
ferce Mallette loaded his gun with
deadly missiles, went in search of Man
ming, and followed him to his own door,
where he made an attempt to kill MIN,
which resulted in the immediate death
of MalIette. Manning had not for
gotten the mutual vows of vengeance,
and when Mallette made his appearance,
he too was fully prepared. Mallette
fell pierced through the heart with a
bullet, and fierce and bloody VOW was
fulfilled,

ELSIE AND THE LADY.

One Of England's proudest daughters
Dwelling in q castle tall,
Mine are many fruitful acres,
Mine great ancestral hall,
Lveried servants throng around ne
Come and go at my command,
And their grudging service render
To the lady OF the land.
But Elsie loves her mistress - sjrnple little maid
ana OFTEN Elsie's loving hpsupon my hand laid.
Elsie brings my robes of velvet,
Clasping them with tender care,
And her fingers softly linger,
Towing with my glitteriug hair.
Elsie knows that am lonely,
And the service of her hand
Offers with gentle pity
To the lady of the land.
For Elsie knows the stately brow she binds the gems
above,
Unlike her own will never wear the diadem Of love.
My strong and sturdy gardener
Lsves Elsie as his life,
And when her mistress leaves the hall
VIII make tie child his wife;
And through my fields and meadows
They'll wander hand in hand,
And hers will lie the brightest home
OF all her lady land.
For while the stately hall beyond owns me "a mis-
tress there,
a husband who is lover too takes Elsie in his care
When Parliament shall close her doors
To keep the Esster-tide,
St Georges nave shall tbrong with guests
Who wait to greet bride.
The day the gardener wins his wife
peer will claim the hand
coronet will deck the brow
OF the lady of the land
When Elsie speaks her tender vow to him she loves
dear,
Ny married hand will lie in that Of Engand's
proudest peer.
No cOronet gilds Esies brow
Like that that CLEANS on mine;
No ermjne Grapes her little form,
Or gold OF jewels shine.
No lips speak loving words to me,
Or stOOp to kiss my hand:
Ahe love is Elsie's; mine the place
OF lady in the land.
The hattery that fame commands will greet the
stAtesman1s wife,
The homage paid to wealth and name ill up love-
less life.
Some day the pageant will be o'tr,
And al the close Of life,
When Death shall claim, with stern command,
Both peers and peasants wife,
Elsie msy wear 4 crown Of gold
Shaped by angel hand,
And love may warm the lonely heat
Of the lady Of the land.
All love to her all wealth 10 me- has on the earth
been given:
fairer balance Will be struck beyond the stars in
heaven.

A QUESTION:,
If there he q land

If there be land
Where our loHgings stand,
Like angels strong and sweet,
With wings at head and feet.
Released from their long ward
And durance. put on guard
For strength and meetness,
All the stronger for their sweetness,
All the sweeter for their strength
In such a land at length,
] wonder, would it ever be
That could give a little love to thee?
If in such place
/ should see face,
Seen now so long ago,
That sho uld scarcely know
IF it might be the same,
And If one spoke my name,
However family,
In the old way-stealiug sanity,
Like a chant upon my ear
In such place 1 fear
It could never. never be
That thou couldst have little love for me

Social Life of Ants.

Mr.. Auguste Forel, gentleman who
spends his life in studying ants and
their habits, and who tells some as
founding tales about them. Among
other things M. Forel says:
"They render each other mutual SER
vices when an ant has got besmeared
with mud. its companions set about
cleaning it most methodically. M.
Forel had, by way of experiment, dirt
led and deformed some Of the silky
cocoons that contain the ants nymph8 !;
on the following day he found them all
perfectly clean dressed, and brought in
Fhape again. What has been said by
Huber as to the precision with which an
expeditionary column of Amazones pro-
ceeds on its march, is only partially
true, for when the insects are laden with
heavy cocoons they can not mind any
order, but go on as they can. Under
such circumstances many lose their way,
but when they get into the right track
again they eyince the greatest self con-
fidence by their steady step they, con-
sequeutlY, are endowed with memory.
The battles of ants have been often de-
scribed, but even here NJ. FOrel has
something new to say. Some species
are timid and cowardly, and always seek
safety in fight others are exceedingly
brave, and seem to enjoy fight above
all things. But then there are others
whose courage requires exciting; they
hesitate at first, but gradually become
holder. and ultimately display foolhardi
ness--in a paroxysm of rage they will
let themselves be uselessly killed.
When an ant thus loses its self COM
maDd, its companions will try to keep it
back by its feet until it has returned to
its senses. The architecture of the nests
has received much attention from the
author. and he shows that the same
species will build in different ways.
The locality, the season, the extent of
require special arrangements. The ants
will quarrel among each other about
constructions that are not equally con
venient to all. When ants find a habi-
tation unoccupied, or have driven the
inmates from it, they will retain the old
making only slight i'm
in them.

Measles Ptsiilenee in the Fiji Islands.

The London Spectator gives the fol-
lowing account Of the fearful depopula-
ton of the Fiji Islands by disease since
their recent acquisition by Great Britain:
GA British ship, it appears, landed
there some returned emigrants i'll with
the measles, and these men scattered to
their homes. The disease being con
sidered trivial by Europeans, no precau-
tions were taken, but, as usual when an
inferior race catches an infectious dis
ease from a superior one, its virulence
was intensified, it speedily bec1me a
plague, and the natives, naturally be-
lieving that it had been designedly in-
PRODUCED to kill them off, refused medi-
cine, and rushed into the sea to allevi-
ate the torment of the rash. The bath
ing produced acute dysentery, and it is
believed that most of the chiefs and
third of the population-say so, 600 per-
sons-have died. There is no certainty
either that the worst is past, or that the
pestiIence may not be followed by
native outbreak, against which the
colonial Office has taken precautions.
The native constabulary, who are under
discipline, have been compelled to sub
NIT to proper treatment, and none of
them have died but though doctors
and medicine have been ordered from
Sydney, no power exists to compel the
natives to use either.

THE DIFFUSION PROCESS.
By R. Fl. BURTON.
From the Sugar CG"e.)

I see the diffusion process, as introduced
in Demerara by Mr.. William Russell, is
creating some sensation among those in
terested in sugar making, and the pro-
cess has been, or is about to be, patented.
I have also read on the subject two mas
terly articles-one by Mr.. Alfred Fryer,
the other by Mr.. Gill. Without express
ing an opinion on a point so ably discuss
ed as this has been, l merely draw atten-
ton to the following paragraph of a
speech made in Georgetown. Demersra,
on the 10th March, 1872, and printed in.
that town, at the Office of the Royal
Gazette, a copy of which / happen to have
with mo -
"In cane sugar it is impossible to ex-
tract more than IS per cent. of the Juice
with q three, or even a FIVE roller mill.
hence the efforts to introduce the diffusion
process which appears to have succeeded
admirably upon a limited scale, but, /
opine, will not be found practicable upon
estates of the magnitude of those in this
colony. I therefore reason by analogy,
that if we had two mills placed, say thir-
ty feet distant from each other, with a
cistern of elliptic form connected with
both mills, SO as to contain a few inches
in depth of cane Juice, with a cane carrier
of similar length held to the bottom of the
cistern by light drums, or cylinders, so as
to force the canes under the juice as it
passes from the first mill, which should
simply mash the cane without crushing or
breaking it, so as to admit a free absorption
Of the Juice before it reaches the second
mill, where the last particle of saccharine
would be extracted, it is not necessary
that the first mill should be large,
it only being intended to prepare the
cane for the second mill. BY this ar
rangement you make the nearest approach
upon the most economical and inexpen-
sive basis-to the diffusion process, and
at the same time secure a full return for
YOUR labour. No matter, however, what
percentage Of juice is expressed, or the
manner in which it is done, your interest
prompts you to make it into the best
possible grade of sugar."
Colonel Richard Atlantic Stewart, the
successful patentee of the apparatus for
the DELEGATION and Qualification of sane
Juice by the aid of sulphurous gas, made
the speech from which the foregoing ex-
tract is taken. It was simply q repetition
of what I had heard from the Colonel In
1870, in Puerto Rico, and this speech
having been made at the Assembly Rooms,
and afterwards printed ia Georgetown, il
somewhat surprises me that the gentlemen
of the press of that colony should Be pos
sessed Of such detective memoriea q to
..gnore completely that the Colonel started
