A Texas Duel.

Manning and Molett, rival physicians
in Giddings, Texas, quarreled, as most
rival physicians do. They agreed to
settle their difficulty with knives in a
quiet place in the woods just out of
town. There were no seconds or spec
tators, and each of the physicians took
along lint and bandages to dress his
are alike, and as follows: The
weapons were long bowie knives. They
stripped to the waist, and at the first
onslaught got such firm hold of each
other that the weapons could not be
used. After long struggle they sepa-
rated and stood warily watching for
chance. AS they at length rushed
together Manning received a slight stab
in the neck and Molett more serious
cut ACROSS the arm. They stopped long
enough for each to dress his own wound,
and then faced for another round. With
great caution, and many feints and
dodges, they spent what they say
seemed like half an hour before coming
together. Finally Molett caught Man,
ning's head under his arm, and, while
for an instant he was able to hold him
in that position, stabbed him deeply
twice in the breast; but Manning, with
his arm free, was able at the same time
to plunge his knife into Motett's back.
These serious, stabs ended the fight.
Molett was able to reach his surgical
appliances and attend to his wound.
Manning tainted, and fell insensible
and bleeding. After attending TO his
own hurt, Molett says he was about to
go away and leave his adversary to
bleed to death, but his better nature
dominated, and with considerable effort
he saved Manning's life. Assistance
soon came, and they were taken TO their
homes, where they viii be confined q
long time by their injuries.-NeW York

VARN1sHNa PAPER DIAaRAMs AND
MAPS. The first and most essential
operation is the proper sizing of the
paper, as, If this be imperfectly done,
almost any kind of varnish viii pene-
trate the paper 50 as to make oil-spots.
Glue-water of the proper consistency is
the best protective against the absorp-
tion of the varnish. It should be of
the right strength, however. If, after
being dried, it cracks in bending cor
ner of the paper, it was not diluted
enough. When dry, the map is var
nished with solution of mastic, sanda-
rae, or some other colorless resin in tur-
pentine or alcohol. or mixture of

hearts OF those Arkansas men scorned
death and danger if only little hope
could be seen OF saving the wives and

The whizzing arrows, the whistlinR bull

bloodthirsty were the besiegers. Thurs

REMARKS.
Notwithstanding there has been fair
increase in the total receipts this week,
over last week, the quality of the hogs
generally was not as good as it was last
week, and the top figures recorded then
have been fully maintained. The pros
poets are fair for the maintenance Of rul-
ing rates, if, indeed, there may not be
an advance in figures for good hogs.
There are too many common hogs press
ing on the market, and these are exceed
ingly hard to sell.
Quotations.-We quote common and
rough hogs and tail ends at lo@ lie, and
best hogs at ll4@ll!c.

Hoo CHoLERA.-It is evident that the
character of this disease is greatly nisun-
derstood or but little known. That it is of
a typhoid character and blood disease, is
a well established fact 1t is also. certain
that the most markdd symptom, the diara,
sAqa asq is the third isacn c2Rl last stage of
Unfortunately, fortl most part, It iY only
when this conclusfdn has been reached that
rnpp.-l---ainns are entertained, and treat
P.c"'o"''o', tno. lad is undertaken. The
disorder are rarely obsertsraach of this
stage of the disease is marked only BIZ ah
unusual quietness Of the animal affected
and the sleepy appearance and loss of appe.
tite arc frequently considered as evidence
of the we'll being of the sufferers, when
they arc really signs Of the most critical
stage OF the disease, and indications that
something must be done without loss of
time. 10 ''slecr and grow fat" is consid-
cred the business of hog, but on the con.
trary the hog is an animal much given to
activity, and unusual sleepiness is a certain
Specification of something wrong. The
first stage soon gives place to more alarm
ng symptoms. Severe abdominal pains
are indicated by a great unwillingness to
move, a position in which the fore feet arc
stretched out and the abdomen is brought
close to the ground. The skin now changes
color, and the blood becomes effuscd at the
surface, causing deep red or purple ap-
pcarancc OF parts of the body. The eyes
and mouth and inside of the ears are red
and sometimes eruptions take place. Up
to this point treatment is hopeful, but af.
tcrward it is of little avail A strong pur-
gativc should be administered as soon as
any of the symptoms described have been
noticed. This should consist of three or
four ounces of epson salts, half an ounce
of sulphur, with one or two drachms of
ground ginger, given in half pint of we'll
sweetened warm oatmeal Cruel, or linsced
tea.
Observation will almost warrant us in
the assertion that corn feeding is the cause
OF hog cholera. And the only preventive
that can safely be recommended is to feed
less corn and more grasses and roots.-Er-

Large quantities of cotton goods consum-
cd in tue South are manufactured at the
North, and the expense on them from the
time ofleaving the cotton fields until they arc
IN the hands Of the consumer, i'll the way
of freights, drayagc, storage, weighing, in
surance, commissions, st3alagc, profits and
damages, cannot be less than twenty five
per cent, which, Of course, is in favor Of
Southern mills and the consumer. We can,
then, otfcctually and surely dispense with
all manner of middlc.mcn, so far as the pro-
duction of cotton is concerned. 1t is con-
ccdcd, that gross profits on the manufacture
OF baled cotton into Yarns, by Northern Mills,
with the present machinery, is one hundred
and twenty-five pcaeGrt.; that being the
case, we can safely calculate on one hundred
and fifty per cent.
These advantages will soon be seen by
capitalists, and hence, revolution in that
especial department will occur.
1t requires nothing but logical reasoning
to deduce the fact, that in one decade a
transfer Of spinning machinery must take
place from the North to the Southern cotton
fields
We obtained from Col. Whitfield, some
data upon the present factory now in course
of construction at Corinth, Miss The build
ing, sixty by one hundred feet, fourteen feet
story, thirteen inch brick wall, he informs
us, is now uuder contract, at five thousand
dollars. He also states that the engine, and
complete outfit to turn out eight hundred
pounds of yarn per day, are under contract
for thirteen thousand dollars. Commercial
capital needed twelve thousand dollars,
which he thinks ample. Making in. alto
tai cost thirty thousand dollarss N.
+. Cherry, President of the "Mouhtain
Mills Manufacturing Company" informs
me, that spinning by the new process would
pay handsome profit on much less invest
ment than the above quotations. We are
especially indebted in making this investiga-
ton to Messrs Whitfield, Cherry, and James
Wright {; to all of whom VIC would tender
the thanks of Lafayette County Grangs.
Respectfully submitted, sssss
