A V,e,tm of SOmnOIenc..

A colored youth who is employed to bring
lunch to one OF the gentlemen In the West
ern Union Telegraph Office, is the victim Of
somnolence, which overcomes him at all
hours and in strange places, and he has
been in the habit of going into some con-
venient corner to snoVze whilst waiting for
his dishes. Last evening be chose a rather
high seat on window sill, and whilst nod
ming lost bis equilibrium and tumbled from
his perch call 10 heap" on the floor, occa-
sioning such commotiOn as to
momentarily check the smooth rushing
along OF night messages, and even inter-
rupted the "press." Soon afterward, whilst
this came sleepy Sambo was carrying out
his tray. he yielded to his drowsy feelings
for second, when the tray slipped from
his hands, and there was a general smash
OF crockerYware, the second matinee
causing even greater sensation than the
first. An electric shock will have to be adj
ministered to Sambo to keep him awake.

WILD CAT VS.. BULL DOG.
An Exciting COmbat-.sA Tumble
Among spectators.

A day or two since we mentioned that
fine large wild cat was captured on Mr.. Van
r. Winkler's place, about ten miles from
the city, and was In the possession of one Of
our merchants. Since then a number of
our citizens have called to see the wild cat,
and the fighting qualities Of the animal
coming under discussion 1t was determined
to get up a contest with a vigor-
GUS bull dog. Jim Norwood, colored,
was known to have a canine of that species,
and, being interviewed, consented to the
match, and there was considerable betting
as to the result. the wild cat, It seems, being
the favorite. A wire cage, four feet high,
five feet wide and six feet long, was con-
structed for the combat, and yesterday
afternoon, at half-past four O'Clock, il the
eastern portion Of the city, was appointed
as the time and place for it to come off. An
admission fee of twenty-iv cents was
charged, and there were some two hundred
persons present. At the hour named the wild
cat was put in the cage, and shortly after
wards the mastif was introduced to him.
The dog did not at first seem to appreciate
the situation, and showed an inclination to
escape from the cage. The wild cat was of
a sociable disposition, as it were, and creep
q tap on his left flank with his paw so vigor-
oUsly as to cause the canine to leap aside
with a howl. Another scratch on the right
flank convinced the dog that there was
business ahead, and accepting the
challenge he Immediately proceeded
to "get in his work" in way style. In a
second the cat and dog were rampant and
boxed at one another, so to speak, in P r.
style, when the dog suddenly made spring
and threw the cat, and fixing his teeth in the
animals hind leg, closed his ivories with
horrible crunch, that ELECTED dismal howl.
The combat waxed lively for some seconds,
when, like John Phenix in his celebrated
fight, the dog inserted his nose between the
teeth of the wild cat, aud held him down.
After a fierce struggle, the cat
succeeded in getting the dogs nose,
which was fearfully maDgled, from out his
teeth, and this so enraged the canine that he
made a savage rush on his enemy, and seiz-
ing him by the throat held him until lie
was extinct, and had to be beaten of before
he would let go his grip.
Just after the fight, which terminated so
tragically, an accident occurred that
might have resulted very seriously. There
were some twenty men and boys standing
on a shed, witnessing the fight,
when the old structure suddenly
gave way and they were pre-
cipitated to the ground pell nell, piled
one upon the other. Several were slightly
bruised, but none, strange to say, badly
hurt, though one lad was stunned, aud it
was found necessary to battle his face and
head with water to restore him to conscious
ness

Queer Seekers sfter Matrimonial
RIfaa,

Yesterday morning q colored individual
entered the Office of the Ordinary, and sp-
preaching the Deputy Clerk, Mr.. P. NJ.
Russell, Jr., stated his desire to take out
marriage license. BIS name was inquired,
when the wouid-be dusky benedict became
confused and said that he really did not
know his ''udder name" He had gone
by several, having in days past
had several owners and adopted their
name as circumstances suited. He was
sometimes called Danl. Jackson, but he
did not want to be married by that name.
Mr. Russell told him he must try aud re-
member his name, and advised him to go
out and collect his thoughts, otherwise the
little document could not be Issued. The
fellow left, and in about ten minutes later
returned, his countensnce beaming with
smiles, and said, gleefully, "Now Use got
um; make dem license out for Caesar John
son; dat am to be my name to marry Sally
Green" The license was issued, and Caesar
departed happy.
An hour or so later another colored can
dida'e for matrimonial honors appeared.
The same questions we're prOpOunded him,
and he glibly gave his own name, but when
asked for that Of the cOlored damsel whom
he intended to honor, said her name was
BELLA" Mr.. Russell Informed him that
this was not enough, he must give her
other name, when the candidate replied,
''dst's de only name / knows; him got no
udder." He was informed that he must
ind out, before his bliss could be leg8liZed,
which disgruntled him very much, and he
said he "didn't see no Offence dat make, as
when dey's marrid him hsb his name" His
protest was not needed, and he departed to
consult "Bella" as to q surname.

Indian Relics.

Captain W. D. Oiveira brought to the
MORNING News Office Yesterday some In
dian relics dug from what is supposed TO
have been an old Indian grave on the plan
tation of Mr.. Joseph Clay, on the Savannah
river, opposite the city. There are several
pieces OF bone apparently portions of
the skull Of 8 child, and likely the
spot excavated was the grave, as in the same
place was found an old curious lookir g
esrthenware bowl, q string of beads and
some smaller bones, presumably those of q
rabbit. It was the custom Of the Indians TO
bury the favOrite personal articles of the
deceased with their remains, and 1t is likely
the articles dug up were the plaYthings-
the heads and the rabbit-of the infantile
Indian. The earthenWsre bowl is q Gu

The Theatre-''TUO Orphans' Last
NIGHT

The splendid audience which filed the
Theatre last evening was high compliment
TO Miss Kate Claxton and the excellent
company supporting her in the great play
Of the 1.-TWO Orphans" The galleries were
packed and standing room was at a
premium in the dress circle.
The presentation of the play
was all that the most ex9eting could desire.
Miss ClsXtOn, as the blind girl Louise is
without peer, and certainly never played
better than last evening. Her acting was
truly realistic, and her SILVER in the snow
s-orm caused one involuntary to think Of an
oveTcOat. Miss Vaders as "Renriette"
well sustained her reputation as
fi1ished actress. The madame
FrOchsTd" Of Miss Wilkins was perfect,
and, in fact, the entire cast was good, and
We can ulhesitstiDgly pronounce the per
Torrance admirable. The play was we'll
mounted, and all the scenery and sccesso-
ries 10 effect were brought into requisition.
We take pleasure IN prOnOuncing the CON-
pany as the best that Miss Claxton has ever
brought South with her.
