ADuel that Did Not Come OF.

Another famous duel did not come off
about ten days ago at Sand Bar Ferry,
near Augusta. The failure of the fight,
however, can not be laid to the charge
of DR.. D. r. Fluker, the challenger,
who, when pursuing the even tenor OF
his way, carries the Saddle-bags in and
around the Georgia town of Irwinton.
Among his patients was a widow, who
gave him a horse in payment of his fee ;
and among the male inhabitants OF lr-
winton was a lawyer, who claimed this
horse in satisfaction of Judgment
which he held against the son of the
doctors patient. The dispute grew into
quarrel, and the quarrel gave birth to
blows. The man of quilts and legal
cap issued note to the man of SquillS,
charging him with cOwardice and all
wickedness; to which the man Of SquillS
replied by an invitation to meet at Sand
Bar Ferry, where the painful contro-
verSy might be settled with HapphOldt
pistols and other surgical instruments.
As the time for the meeting approached,
the Augusta hotels were overrun by
a queer incursion of men from lrwintOn,
Toomsboro', and Sandersville: but the
challenged man was not among them.
At the appointed hour, sharp, DR., Fluk-
er embarked upon the fat-boat at Sand
Bar Ferry, and eagerly searched the
horizon for his expected foe; but no foe
was visible upon the troubled tide Of the
Augusta River, nor upon its Sloping
banks, nor yet upon the white wastes
of the sand bar. A telegram of
inquiry to Irwinton was answered
with the intelligence that the challenged
party, who was trying to get living by
the law, had fallen by the law, that is
to say, he had been arrested to prevent
his further violation of the code against
duelling. Dr.. Fulkner returned trium-
phantly to Irwinton, but the Augusta
paper from which the foregoing facts
are taken fails to say whether he or his
antagonist is the peaceful possessor of
the horse.

How a Bird was Identified.

The Saratogjan contains this pleasant
little story: ga lady, visiting a Walton
Street residence, a few days since, was
attracted to a beautiful canary bird by
its close resemblance to one she had lost
last spring. She was informed that the
songster had come to them, they finding
it one chilly morning perched upon a
window-sill. The lady stated that the
bird had been Taught to perform the
pretty little feat, when given its liberty
in room, of picking up pin and
sticking it in the carpet. The cage door
was opened, and as the bird flew forth
the lady threw a pin out in the center
of the floor. The bird Immediately flew
down to where it lay, caught it in its
bill, dexterously stuck it in a aperpen-
dicular position in the carpet, after
which it hoped off step or two ana
warbled forth some Of its sweetest notes,
as if in exultation of the feat it had ac-
complished. 1t was her long-lost song

A South Carolina Horror.

The Barnwell Is. O. People Of Jan.
18th, says. On the 10th inst, Coroner
Fleming resumed the investigation of
the burning of Stephen EneckS and his
family, on the plantation of Mr..
Sprawls. The confession Of Dexter
McCreary, colored, to the jury, revealed
the details of the most deliberate and
fendish murder that has ever been com.
mitted in our county. The confession
was to the following effect; On Tues
day, the 1st inst, Fortune Bush and DeX-
ter McCreary, both colored, agreed to
rob Stephen Enecks, who was reported
to have in his possession some $500 or
S300-the savings Of years. On Thurs
day night, the Sd inst, pursuant to this
agreement, Bush and McCreary met
near Stephens house, and at a late hour
Bush effected an entrance into the
cabin by raising plank of the floor. He
next opened the door, admitted Nc
Creary, and they commenced their work
of plunder. The noise that they made
disturbed Stephen and his wife, and
they were apparently waking. Bush
then struck them successfully on their
heads with an AK, drew their bodies
from the bed, pulled the mattress on
them, saturated it with kerosene oil,
which he had carried there, and applied
lighted match to the mattress, delib-
erately fastening the door in a manner
in which EneckS was accustomed to Sc
cure it, by drawing a piece of trace
chain through holes in the door and
facing and putting railroad spike
throughit. They left the burning build
ing through the floor, leaving the muir
dered man and his wife and their two
little children to be consumed by the
flames. McCreary claims that he
wished to rescue the children when he
heard their agonizing screams as they
were being burned alive, but was de-
tered by the threats of Bush. Bush
and McCreary were committed to the
Aiken Jail on Friday last

Genesis of the "ColOrado Giant"

The history of the creation of "the
Colorado Giant is published. In the
beginning, a man named Hull, at Elk
land, Tioga County, Pa, in February,
1877, nodded figure out Of different
kinds of dust, principally bone, and
baked it in a lime-kiln. tbs stated that
he spent $4,000 OF $4,000, and eX-
hausted his money. Then Barnum saw
that it was good, and came forward and
breathed the breath of life into the en-
terprise, the giant being Immediately
shipped to Colorado, and its age set
back several millions of years by plenary
indulgence. The facts in the case OF
the Cardiff pleasantly did not come to
LIGHT so quickly, probably because there
was greater curiosity on the part of the
people to know them.
