An Oldvirginia Giant.

The allusion in recent letter of your
Louisa correspondent. to the old Revolu-
,tionary giant hero, Peter Francisco, re-
wives many traditions and "reminiscences
of the wonderful performances and dar-
ing deeds of that extraordinary man. My
father, recently deceased at the advanced
age of ninety, we'll remembered him, hav-
ing frequently seen him in his native
county Of Buckingham, and related many
anecdotes of his stirring and perilous ad-
ventures and hair-breadth escapes as he
heard the recital fall from the lips of the
giant himself. He described him as six
feet one inch in height, his weight two
hundred and sixty pounds, his complex
ion dark and swarthy, features bold and
manly and his hands and feet uncom-
monty large, his thumbs being as large as
an ordinary mans wrist.
Such was his personal strength that he
could easily shoulder a cannon that
weighed 1,100 pounds, and he had seen
him take man in his right hand, pass
over the floor and dance his head against
the ceiling with as much ease as if he
had been doll baby. The mans weight
was one hundred and ninety-five pounds
Partsking of the patriotic enthusiasm Of
the times, he entered the American revo.
lutionary army at the age Of sixteen
He was present at the storming Of Stony
Point and was the first soldier, aftel
| Major Gibbon, who entered the fortress
on which occasion he received bayonei
wound in the thigh. He Was at Brandy
wine, Monmouth and other battles at the
North and was transferred to the South
under General Green, where he was en-
gagged in the actions of the Cowpens
Camden, Guilford Courthouse, etc. He
was so brave and possessed such conf
| dence in his prowess that be was posi-
lively fearless. He used sword with d
blade five feet long, which be could wield
as feather, and every swordsman who
came in reach of him paid the forfeit O.
his life.

Two Terrible Duels.

The London Telegraph prints the fol-
lowing: "a horrible story of duel be-
tween two inhabitants of Morocco is re-
ported from Oran. The two principals.
both occupying a good position, were en-
amered OF the same beauty, and agreed
to fight for her possession. The combat
ants met at a short distance from Me-
quinez, each being armed with acarbine,
a revolver, and hunting knife, and
mounted ON horseback. The duelists
rushed at one another at full speed,
which resulted in one of the horses being
killed, and the fight was continued on
foot.
CATER the two men had received sew
eral bullets in different parts of their
bodies, they closed, and commenced a
violent and horrible struggle with their
knives. One of the men thrust his
knife into the others throat, and re-
ceived cut from his enemy which
opened the whole of his chest. Too
weak to use their arms, the dying men
took to biting one another, and expired,
the one with his teeth closing on the
Others cheek, who gave up his last
breath in endeavoring to rip open his
adversary's body. The object Of the en-
counter was thus gained, as each pre-
vented the other obtaining the hand Of
the girl, who must in future endeavor
only to captivate one admirer at time
if she wishes to secure husband"
After all, this is child's play compared
with desperate encounter described by
the Impartial of Madrid as taking place
at Valparaiso. A quarrel between two
rival professors of music led to chal-
Ienge, the instruments selected being
| neither pen nor sword, but tile piano.
The conditions Of the "encounter" were
that neither party should eat or drink
until honor had been declared duly salts
fed, and that no waltzes or other lively
airs should be indulged in. Seconds were
| appointed, and the duel proceeded
without intermission for 4S hours at the
end of which time one of the musicians,
1 after playing "Miserere" for the one
hundred and fiftieth time, fell forward,
and sank exhausted on the floor. He
was taken up corpse. His adversary
had been literally transformed into ar
"enraged musician" and was in tina,
state removed to the hospital. The
seconds themselves gave signs Of being
seriously "touched, "and each Of the piano'
| was found to be in hopelessly Graz,
condition. Such, at least, is the result
of the medical examination.

The Handso mes, Lady.

A letter postmarked Bangor, and ad-
dressed "To the Handsomest Young
Lady at Rockland, Maine," was received
at the postofice in the latter city one
day last week. After consultation be-
tween the chief of the Office and his sub
ordinates, the former official ordered the
missive to be displayed through the
glass window, that some maiden with
confidence in her charms might step up
and boldly demand her property. The
Rockland Courier says "crowds Of
women have looked at that enyelop, but
none has dared call for it. Maiden
ladies in false teeth and falser hair have
stood and gazed at the magic direction,
and then walked meditatiyely up and
down the corridors, endeavoring to mus
ter up courage to face the awfully pene
trating eye Of the man at the delivery
window.
Handsome young women with ros'
cheeks and laughing eyes have seen il
and speculated as to why it was moi
given to them without further delay
Young men with girls have urged theiI
| respective sweethearts to step up ane
ask for what is clearly their own. Th4
| amount Of trouble and worry which
that little envelop has created ip ou
city is simply incalculable. And mean
time the letter tantalizingly hangs in ths
window, while the Cerberus at the de
livery window awaits with uneasinesl
and impatience the dreadful momen
4 when some woman shall demand. til,
troublesome document, and he shall b
forced to compel her to show cause, y
\ any, why he should consider her tha
] party named in the writ"
