WASHINGTON, March 14.-General Brady was
somewhat unexpectedly called to the stand In DIS
own defence this AFTERNOON IN the Star Route trial
The defence has been In progress several days wlh
ont any intmaton of such step, and the couhsei
on that side seemed to avoid any allusion to IT,
This had caused many to belieys that both brauy
and Dorsey would refrain, as in the last trial. from
going on the stand. 1t is now expected that DORSEY
will. OF course follow Brady's example. The exam
inat1on to-day presented sensational features IL
consisted mainly of reiterated and positive denlais
by Brady of the statements of Walsh and Kerdoli'
The cross-examnation is looked forward 10 Win
some interest, as the prosecution has all along e1
pressed an anxiety to get Brady on the stand as a
witness
Mr. Merrick said in conversation after the ad-
iournment that the only reflection suggested 70 ms
mind by Brady's testimony was a wonder WHY, II II
Wasb's story and RerdelPs statements as iecou,,eu
by James and MacVeagh were the lies brauy now

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

[St. J:mcs GaHctte.l
Mr.. Charles Rcauc wrote one or two
letters some time ago TO Il morning
paper condcmuing the practice of
nurses and mothers who discourage
children from using the left hand, and
thus rendc: il comparatively unscrvicc-
able. Nature, he maintained, has
made no distinction between the right
and left cXtrcmitics of the body; and
but for the existence OF foolish pre-
iudicc in favor of tho right hand both
limbs might be rendered equally use
full. DIR. Gaetan Delaunay has just
communicated a paper to the Anthro-
biological Society, in which he seeks to
{ establish that right-handcducss is not
an acquired habit, but IL natural attri-
butte characteristic of the superior
races. Savage tribes, he states, and
communities in an inferior state of CT
VliiZauon, show a much larger pro-
portion of left handedness than highly
civilized peoples do. The Annamites,
Tor instance, are noted as cft-handed
peoples; and negroes, according to
Harting, are equally developed on
pom sides OF the body, the right and
lelt eNtrcmities possessing exactly the
same power and weight. Idiots and
epiieptics, again, offer n very large per-
centage of left. handed Individuals, and
there are more left-handcd women
than men. Infants, DIR. Delaunay says,
are left-handed at first; (NIr. Reade adj
duced this fact in support of his
theory; as they grow older they be-
come both-handea, and eventually
right-handed. In old age, however,
there is marked tendency to both
handedness again. His general con-
ciusion is that in the evolution of the
Species there mas been steady ten
dency to the development of the right
side of the body at the expense of Tho
other, and that the examples of left.
handednesS still to be met with in the
superior Iace are mere "survivals."

A Terrible Duel.

A bloody, cruel and novel duel was
fought in the lower edge of Guilford, be-
tween Ralph johnson and Sacks Will
liams, two young farmers of that section,
and rivals for the affections OF young
woman. Bad feelings had existed be-
tween them for some time, ending in
harsh words two days previous to the
fight. Soon afterwards johnson sent o
friend to Williams with letter, demand
ing a retraction of certain language used.
Williams declined to withdraw his re-
marks, and further correspondence re-
suited in an agreement to meet in hostile
combat, the time being fixed for the Goth
ult. The articles drawn up specified
horse-whips as the weapons to be used,
something not heretofore recognized by
the code in South Carolina. These
weapons were chosen, it is understood,
in order that the parties could thereby
evade the penalties of the duelling law,
which does not specify horse-whips rs
fight each man was required to stand
upon line traced upon the ground, max
ing the distance between the combatants
about three feet. They were armed with
heavy horse whips, especially selected
for the fight, and the second of each
duellist was supplied with an extra whip,
to be used by his principal in the event
of the wearing out or breaking of the
weapon first used. The combatants met
one morning, according to agreement.
The field selected was hard and level
spot about half mile from the main
road. The lines were made of rope, fas-
tened to the ground by long staples.
After a vain attempt had been made by
the seconds to adjust the difficulty, the
men took place for the fight. Both were
in their shirt sleeves, the provisions
of the fight being that no coat, vest or
undershirt be worn. Att o'clock the
question was asked: Gentlemen, are
you ready?" Each man nodded his
head. The command "Strike" was then
given, and the duellis.s fell to blows
with vigor. Although the blows given
were heavy and and fast, neither man
finched. Upon the hands and face of
the combatants great wells soon rose, and
the shirts of the n9n soon gave evidence
that 1.-The blood was being drawn. At
times they welded their weapons with
one hand, then with both, and OCCASION
ally one or the other was forced by the
desperate assault of his adversary to fall
back from his line. After fighting for
half an hour time was called, and the
men. nearly breathless, were given a
brief resting spell. The fight continued
for three hours, with short intervals for
rest. The seconds finally decided that
the requirements of the code had been
complied with, and forced the duellists
to desist. 1t is understood that Johnson
was more severely hurt than his adver.
sary, and that there is not place on his
body that is not covered with welts.
Many of the blows gashed the flesh in
horrible manner. Williams is almost in
the same condition, and both are now
suffering terribly from the effects of
their wounds, which are such that they
can hardly lie down. Their feet are al
most the only parts not covered with
cuts. No arrests have been made, and
friends of the duellists are endeavoring
to hush the matter up Raleigh Oh
