II assure you, my dear sir, I had rather
fill every column in every newspaper in
Georgia than one coffin"
This precedent served for duel in
Georgia only few years since. A cal
lenge passed between Col. Farrow and
Mr.. NJ. A. Nevin. The latter was one
legged man, and the former objected to
meeting him on that account-not taking,
however, the same practical view of the
matter that Dooly did. He objected in
accordance with a provision Of the code.
Mr.. Nevin, therefore, offered to allow Col.
Farrow to enclose one of his legs ina bee
gum. The matter was finally adjusted by
a meeting between Col. Farrow
and Maj. Tom O'Connor, the second of
MIR. Nevin; shots were exchanged but no
damage was done.
If Dooly had remembered how John
Farrago, Pennsylvania militia Captain,
once declined duel, he might have
amneded his answer to profit. Far1aeo
was once challenged and replied in these
words.
SR-1 have two objections to this duel
business. The one is lest should hurt
you; the other is lest you should hurt
me. 1 do not see what good it would do
me to shoot you. I could make no use
of you when dead for any culinary pur-
pose IS I would a rabbit or turkey. I
could not cat you. Why, then, needless
ly shoot you down? A buffalo would
make better meat than you. For, though
your FLESH may be delicate and tender, it
wants that firmness and consistency that
takes and retains salt. It might make a
good barbecus, it is true, being of the ma
ture OF raccoon or opossum; but 1 do
not like barbecued meat.
Besides, it would seen strange thing
tor me to shoot at anything that stands
still to be shot at, rs lam accustomed to
shoot at things flying or running or jump
ing. Were you on a tree, now, like a
squirrel, trying to hide yourself in the
branches, and I could spy you through
Intervening boughs and leaves, your
hindarparts being visible, think should
enjoy taking shot at you. But as it is,
there is no skill of judgnf in either dis
covering you or bringing you down.
As to myself, I do not like to stand in
the way of anything harmful. I am
afraid you mighthit me. I shall conse-
quently stay at a distance. Ii you want
to try your pistol take some object, such
as tree or door, about my dimensions. If
you hit that send me word, and will

Ox-TAIL SouP.-There has been 8
controversy in the columns of the Lon
don Times as to the origin of that appe-
thing dish. ox-tail soup. A correspon'
dent in the issue of May Sd. seems to
settle the question by quoting the fol-
lowing passage from Mr. Smiles Lives
of the Huguenots:" French working
people are better economists than the
English, and less suficcd for their

tress. They were satisfied if they could

tial OF English statesmen Of the pres.

the sixth Duke OF Bedford, and entered
parliament as soon as he became OF
age. Fifty years ago he was the lead
er Of the whig party in the reform
movement Of the age,-the repeal of
the tess and corporation arts, Roman
Catholic emancipation, and the Reform
bills. He was at AZ the principal lib
eral 10 England, and held various posts
Of official responsibility when his party
was in power He was a member Of
Aberdeens cabinet during the Crimean
war, and experienced one Of bis fail
ures as a special peace ambassador at
its close. In the second Palmerston
ministry he held The post OF foreign
secretary from 1859 to 1865, and then
became second time first lord of the
treasury and premier. He was made
Earl Russell in 1861, and during our
civil war he was VIGOROUSLY unfriendly
to the Ulited States. Since 1868 he
had acid no official station, but has
