A KNoTTY QUEsTIoN.-A duel was
fought in Texas by Alexander Shot and
John s. Mott Mott was shot and Shot was
than Mott. There was a rumor that Mott
was not shot, and Shott avows that he shot
Mott, which proves that either that the
shot Shott shot at Mott was not shot, or that
Mott was shot, Notwithstanding. Circum-
stantial evidence is not always good. 1t
may be made to appear on trial that the
shot Shot shot Mott, or, as accidents with
firearms are frequent, it may be possible that
the shot Shott shot shot Mott himself, when
the whole thing would resolve itself into
it's original element, and Shott would be
shot, and Mott would be not. We think,
however, that the shot Shott shot shot not
Shot but Mott. Anyway, it is hard to tell
who was shot.-E!rchdnge.

BEAUTIES OF BERMUDA.-The climate
of the islands, writes a Bermuda correspon-
dent to the st. Louis Republican, is not trop-
jcal. They are in the same latitude as
Charleston, and Charleston is far north OF
the tropic, which passes between Key West
and Cuba. The Bermudas are a Winterless
region, and this is their special merit.
Snow. ice and frost are unknown; the tenn
perature rarely is below fifty-fve degrees
Fahrenheit, and fires for heating purposes
are not considered necessary, though, as a
the parlor and smoking-room for the COM
fort of invalid guests. There is no languor
in the atmosphere; on the contrary, it is
highly eXhlarating, and walking is not
only healthful exercise, buta positive de-
light. The cedar which covers all the hills,
and is the only real wood on the islands,
imparts balsamic property to the air, and
the absence of sWamps and marshes eX-
empts it from the malarial poison that in
fects the atmosphere of the West Indies.
The summer heat, it is said, never rises
above eighty-five, and is never oppressive.
All the vegetation Of the tropics grows here,
but none of it attains the tropical size and
luxuriance, and the fruits lack the full flavor
and luscious character of the Indies. Irish
potatoes, onions, and tomatoes, all grown
for the early New York market, are the
chief productions, and they are diligently
cultivated as the source of livelihood to Il
large proportion of the population. Nearly
all the flowers cultivated in lighthouses in
"the States" thrive outdoors, and bear one
crop of blooms after another all the year
round, and one of the surprises that first
arrest the attention of northern visitor is
that of seeing potato fields hedged with aris-
tocratic oleanders, and onion beds placed in
setting of geraniums; coleus and begonias.

THE OBJECT OF THE DITCH.-A New

a number of men digging ditch between

gated.' .a "-

'And the ditch can't be of any use except
to the fish,"
