Queerest of Fights.

A remarkable fight occurred lately
in North Carolina near the South
Carolina line. Two men, named
Trout and Hutchins, were removing a
beehive, about which they wrapped a
cloth. Two men named McDaniels
met them, and a quarrel and fight
followed. Hutchins stripped the cloth
from the hive and, placing it over his
head, held the hive in front as he ad-
vanced toward the McDaniels. Bees
poured out and savagely attacked the
latter, who had to retreat. One of
them shot Hutchins in the shoulder,
but he advanced with his novel Calling
gun, and, aided by the bees, drove
the McDaniels over the line into
South Carolina.

The queue has been detached from
his head, and as substitute he wears
pompadour. Not a particle of
Chinese apparel is on his person.
He lounges about Mulberry street
and Park row and leans against an
iron post awaiting some philanthropic

His newly-found acquaintance will
quietly accede to his wishes for some
beverage to quench his thirst. and one
is followed by another, and this in
turn by another, until the Chinaman
feels somewhat tipsy. This is his
routine work, and at the conclusion of
the day he has a jag to De proud of,

Medicines.

The citizens of Davenport, Rock

learned many things regarding the
successful practice of medicine

say cure" it means CURE and not
simply a benefit or relief for a few
