A Frog Quartcttc.

We are informed by James Judd that
there is o man living near Tar Flat who
is soon to travel with quartette. The
party in question has spent most OF his
life in catching different kinds of frogs
and other little animals, and is quite .
naturalist. The party has now on hand
four different kinds of frogs. which he
has had for two years, and in that
iin4. mas quite successfully taught
them to sing the .'Sweet By-and-By."
A little marsh frog Is tho tenor. and he
is placed in bowl OF water and parity
burics his mouth in the water when he
sings tenor. This gives the voice .
5ird-lke sound that is said to be very
charming. a very large bull-frog Is
! said to be the basso OF the troupe, and
he is fully equal to the occasion, doing
his part well. The soprano and alto
are very good songstcrs, apd when two
! or three persons are gathered to hear
/ them the soprano is said to put on -
many airs as any other Of that Tx.
The owner OF the curious four il now
teaching the soprano solo, and when
It is Learned he intends travelling. The
soprano when small loaf is thrown
/ toward her after 4 song. viii hop on,
and pick it up, make . graceful bow,

One Of Henry A. Wisc's Duels.

Henry A. Wise. after his first election
to congress. had a long newspaper con-
troversy with his defeated competitor.
MIR. Richard Coke. which finally led to
q duel. Bladcnsbnrg was the spot
selected, and it was matter Of general
notorietv, one pleasant January morn

gone to tho "ficld Of honor" each ac-
companied by second and . surgeon.
At II o'clock they appeared upon the
spot. Il is situated in a valley not far
from the roadside, and but a few miles
from Washington. Several gentlemen
of the fancy" amateurs, and boys
collected about the place to witness the
sport.
In the meanwhile many anxious
groups might be seen gathered about
the capitol, in the lobby and gall
lcries OF the house., In tho library
and the rotunda, discussing the prob
able issue OF the rencounter. At one
time rumor was circulated that
Coke had been wounded ''in the thor-

lncnt came . report that Wise had been
winged. and the Same spirit Of in-
quiry was manifested TO hear the new
version OF the affair. At last the re-
turn of tho spectators Of the fight
brought the intelligence that Coke had
bcen wounded in the arm, and that the
bullet, glancing, had entered his side.
He was hit while in the act OF raising
his hand 10 fire, and II he had been .

Dogs as Detectives.

Forty wears ayo Il murder committed
in the city of Berlin was of rare oc-
currence, and when the news come
once from Jaeger street, near the Roy
al theater. thai an old gentleman living
alone and in good circumstances had
been murdered for his money, it spread
like wildfire all over the city.
TIE news reached the ears OF a
brother of King William, whose resi-.
dencc was nos very far from the scene
of the murder. He. like many other
peoplc. FASTENED TO the house and
rooms where the murder was commit,
ted, but, as the sequel shows, with an
eve to business and to ferret out in his
own way the possible murderer.
The rooms in which the murder was
committed showed that there must
have been hard struggle before the
old gentleman was killed, and blood
stains Of the murderer could be traced
short distance from the house, where
they disappeared. 1t was quite early
in the morning yet when the princely
detective, after being back 10 his resi-
dencc. appeared again on the scene oi
the murder, this time in company with
two gentleman on horseback; one be.
ing his overseer Of hounds, of which
he kept very large number always
the other policeman on horseback.
Immediately the overseer. or hants
man, set the two hounds on the track
of the murderer, and off they went
trailing ut very lively pace, the Two
men on horseback following them a!
well as they could. In less time thar
it takes to write these lines those two
dogs finally halted on Petri street, dis
tance about two miles, cloar up in !
/ room under the garret of the house
and tracked the murderer of the olt
gentleman to his lair. Consideriu.
that there was no earthly clue to b
| found to the murderer on account Q
the old gentleman living alone an,
having no relations. before those dog
appeared, the work they did in les
than half an hour cannot be eclipsc'
