The Unwilling Laughing Match.

Mr. Frost, the artist who went with Mr.
George Kennan on his perilous journey to see
the life of the Liberian exiles, has told some
amusing experiences, among which was the
one Of an unwilling laughing match:
He was engaged, one clustering day, some
where on the outskirts of Tartary in making
a sketch of group of picturesque Tartars.
Still other Tartars gathered around him as
he was at work, gazing curiously at his
sketch and walking about. As the Tartars
we're armed to the teeth the artist thought it
best to be amiabie, and smiled broad smile
upon the party. Whereupon the entire party
smiled broadly in return and showed grea.
interest in him. he smiled again, more
broadly still Whereupon the Tartars cam.
around in front Of him and began to go
through the most extraordinary antics,
laughing still. The artist gathered somehow
that he was expected TO laugh, too, end pro-
ceeded to crafty their evident wish.
The more be laughed the more they
laughed, and several big Tartars came
around in front Of him,and lay down on the
ground, rolling and tumbhng. The artist
laughed until his jaws almost cracked. The
thing finally became little alarming, and,
calling his Interpreter, the artist babe him

Bloody Fight Expected.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. ga special to
the Times from Pineville, KY, says:
Thursday Wilson Howard. leader of the
Howard faction out maneuvered the
forces headed by County Judge Lewis,
who have held possession of Harlan
Court House, the county seat, since the
18th inst. Judge Lewis and his posse Of
sixty men left Harlan Court House at
nine O'CLOCK Thursday morning to make
another assault on Towards camp. How
ard, anticipating this movement. had
placed his followers in ambush near the
town.
The Lewis party passed directly
through the ambuscade, and for some
reason were not fred on. After they had
got beyond their foes, who were con-
cealed inithe brush, and were proceeding
in the direction of where Towards camp
was supposed to be. the Howard party
moved into town and took possession Of
the courthouse. They held complete
control of the town, with pickets stationed
at all approaches, and Judge Lewis
and his followers have gone into camp
outside the town.
1t was confidently believed that Judge
Lewis would endeavor to recapture the
courthouse yesterday, and bloody
fight was expected.
