doing them all their lives. There is an
old woman who carves cats, dogs, wolves,
sheep, goats and elephants. She has
made these animals her whole life long,
and has had no idea how to cut anything
else. She has no model or drawing TO
work by, but goes on steadily, using
gauges of different sizes, and shaping her
animals withwonderful ease and truth TO
nature. She learned from her mother
how to carve these sex animals, and her
mother had learned in like manner from

Ono Of Bowie's DusIs.

At the appointed hour AT parties were

cool, the Spaniard very furious and ex-
cited. The 1Spaniard's second won the.
choice of position, which gave the second
of Bowie the word. They were TO stand
back to back, rifles perpendicular, up
ward or downwsrd-ttO. wheel, as before
stated. Here arose an instance of genius
over routine. In the arms the maneuv-
ers are intended for regularity before
time but, in such cases asthis, regu-
Iarity was of no moment, but time was
everything. When the SpaifiaTd heard
the word To ".wheel," he, of course, exc
cuted it in true military style, in "three
notions" but Bowie, whose whole life
had been spent in depending upon him
self, rot regulating his movements by
those Of others who had been compelled,
in his warfare against Indians or in pro-
curing game, TO take every position, ex-
ecuted every change Of body necessary
for the occasion TO insure success; in
stead of wheeling, as the Spaniard was
doing, simply turned the body from the
hips, or on the hips, holding the fleet firm,
which, of course, brought him around
quicker than his antagonist, and enabled
Bowie to fire first, and to drive his ball
through the brain of his antagonist.
This Bowie said any body ceuld do if
hey only possessed Che regulate nerve.
