a BLOoDLEsS DUEL.
Two Hot Headed Georgians Settle a
Dispute with Pistols.

Just over the Georgia line in Alabama,
OH the Rome IL Decatur road, near dark
this evening, Pat Calhoun and j. D..
Williamson fought u duel with pistols.
Mr. Calhoun was perfectly cool alld fired
but one shot. MIR. Williamson was
nervous and fired five shots without
stopping. Mr., Calhoun repeated his tie
mand that Mr.. Williamson should apollo
gi2e for words spoken, which William.
son agreed to, Neither party was hurt
and all scattered at once to escape
the arresting officers who were now
close upon them. The cause ot
the duel is briefly this; Mr. Calhoun,
who is II grandson of the great nulliiier,
is general counsel for the West Point
terminal system OF railway, and is the
master spirit of the combination of
which John II. lnman is the head. The
West Point terminal sCoOped in the Gem
trail railroad system Of Georgia, thus
bottling up the state. This aroused the
Indignation OF the people, and the result
was the Introduction OF IL bill into the
legislature known ny the Olive BILL 10
forfeit the charters of roads entering
into either cancellations or Combinu-
tions. Mr., Calhoun on Thursday up-
pcarcd before the railroad committee
10 argue against the passage of the bill.
There he found himself amtugoniHcd
by IFSSlucnt j. II. w llllullSOO OF the
Chattanooga, Rome & Carrollton road,
who argued IN favor of the bill and de-
clared for independent roads. Mr., Cal
houn retorted that Mr.. Williamson
sought to enter the West Point comb.
nation, but that through his Calhoun -
opposition Williamson had been kept
out, and thus deserved no credit for be-
ing at the head of an independent line.
Williamson jumped up and hisscd out
that the statement was false, y demand
for Tetractoin was declined and
both parties left the city last
night determined ON gore. Mr.. Calhoun 's
second was Captain Harry jackson OF
Atlanta, and Mr. Williamson's second
was Jack King. Governor Gordon made
strenuous efforts this morning to have
the combatants arrested and they
slipped through the hands of two sher-
ills in their cidcavor to get TO the duel
ground. Mr.. Calhoun was arrested for
Williamson, but on proving that he was
not Williamson was released.
ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. lO.-Latest reports
from the field of battle show that Will
hanson was not touched by Calhoun's
ball. Williamson fired five times quick
ly, while Calhoun rested on the first
shot Calhoun then demanded an apol-
ogy again, which Williamson gave, and
the duel was over.

EISHERMEN's LUCK.
The Government Fish Vessel Albatros
Arrives In Port.

WAsItINGToN, Aug. 17.--i'rof. Charles
III. Gilbert, who has been for the past
seven months chief naturalist on board
the United States fish commission
steamer Albatros, has just returned 70
Washington, and is now engaged at
work on the collections made during
that time or the Pacific coast Prof.
Gilbert says that after joining the ship
at San Francisco early last winter, work
commenced on the southern coast OF
California and continued three months
between Point Conception and SAN Di-
ego, the main work therein being the
location of fishing grounds and drcdg-
ing for deop-sea material. While there,
thirty.live different species of fish not
known before ON the coast were taken,
some of them entirely new to science.
a new fishing bank was discovered in
the vicinity of San Diego, and one com
pany has already begun to fish on it.
Prof. Gilbert thinks there is posi-
bility of some little industry being cs-
tablishod there. lie does not however,
regard IT as very important fishing
bank.
After completing work on that part OF
| the coast, cruise was made into the
Gulfot California, partly for the purpose
OF looking UP the oyster question there
and partly to ascertain whether the eX.
pertinent of introducing shad into the
| Colorado river has been successful. Nc
shad were found in this river, although
some had been planted there several
years previously. The waters are evi.
IDENTIFY not suited to the species.
South of GuaymuS, beds Of oyster.
were found, which are thought to be
| fully equal to the best we have on the
| Eastern coast The question now to b,
determined is whether there is suitabl,
ground on the California coast wher,
they can be propa gated.
| Part of the work was of scientific in
tercst. Many new and interesting form'
| have been obtained.

the vessel proceeded northward and die

Degeneration In tho Black Republic.
lFrom the Now York Times

The situation of Hayti gives fresh point
to the old saying that no people fit for
freedom can be enslaved. In every
material and every moral respect it must
now be freely admitted that Hayti is
worse off than it was II hundred years
ago, when the ancestors ofthc wretched
negroes who now do nothing or worse
we're kept at work producing something
of more value to mankind tlian they pro-
duce when left to:themselves Their en-
franchisement was effected mainly by
the spread of the ideas OF the French
revolution. Liberty, equality and
fraternity were held to be the rights of
the human species, without distinction
of character or culture. The effect of
applying theses principles TO Hayti las
been the expulsion except from the trad
ports, where they are as much aliens as
Europeans in Hong Kong-not only of
all the men who could constrain the
the negroes to improve, but of all who
could teach them to improve--and the
degeneration has been rapid and COM
plete, until, as We see, Uayti has little
vestiges of civilization left than ii it were
an unexpiored part OF equatorial Africa.

Lotta's cottage, all towers and turrct's

for it was one of the first erected ut the

hanced in the mean time. Iotta was 81
much pleased with it that she moved in
before it was really completed. She
calls it her home. She is on the jump
so constantly for ten months in the year
that it does her good to have some place
that she may call her home for two
months. Just the same she doesn't

ence has become so much second ma
ture to her that if she were Obliged to
remain in one place indefinitely she
fears she would pine away and die like

house full of guests constantly ut the
lake, and she provides for their amuse-
ment with the most methodical care.
She has billiard-room, II bowling-allcy,
tennis courts, boats and carriages, all for
their delectation. Every night before
she retires she lays out plan for her
guests pleasure for the next day. So
many she assigns for carriage rides
around the beautiful region; so many
more for excursions in the row-boats or
