.'Canst thou draw ont q leviathan with

Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who.
went around the world on bicycles, give
the following account of n OF their
experiences in Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents of our
pleasant so1ourn was afforded by Gov
ernor Ivanoff. We were invited To- head
the procession of the COssacks ON their
annual departure for their summer en-
campment in the mountains. After the
usual religious ceremony they fled ont
from the city parade ground. Being NM
ayuidably detained for q few moments,
we did moi come up until some taEae
after the column had started Al we
dashed by to the front with the Ameri-
can and Russian flags fiuttering side by
side from the handle bars, cheer after
cheer arose from the ranks, and evan
the governor and his party dotted their
caps in acknowledgement.
AT the camp we were favored with d
special exhibition of horsemanship By
a single twist of the reins the steeds
would fall to the ground, and their rid
ers crouch down behind them as a bull
wark iii battle. Then, dassing forward
at full speed. they would spring 10 the
ground and leap back again into the
saddle, or hanging by their legs would
reach over and pick up d handkerchief,

rice Planting in Japan.

Alfred Parsons in Harpers Magazine.
The people were busy in putting out
their young rice plants and the fields were
full Of men and women wearing their
''kasa' and straw coats, oiled paper, rush
mats, or other contrivances to keep off
the rain, and working in mud and water
half way up to their knees. 1t is surely
the dlrtiest and most laborious form Of
agriculture; the work is almost entirely
done by manual labor with a spade and
heavy four pronged rake, though I occa-
sionally saw a COW or a pony, with a
little matched roof on it's back to shoot
on the rain, dragging a harrow through
the mud, As soon as the spring crop OF
barley or rapeseed is garnered and hung
up to dry the ground rs trenched with the
spade, and the water is turned over II
until II has become soft slush, which is
worked level with the rake. The young
rice plants, grown thick together in the
nursery patches, are pulled up when the
fields are ready for planting, their roots
are washed and they are tied in bundles.

then the men and women wade in, unite

Griffin News: Wednesday afternoon,
about 6:30 O'Clock, a young man entered
the hardware store of c. II. johnson
& Son and asked to see a pistol. He Was
waited on by g. II. Johnson, Jr who
told him they had no pistols for sale but
that his brother Edward had one that he
would sell, and showed him a Smith and
Weston No. 80 at the same time mention
ing the price. The man took it and ex-
amined it for a minute, then suddenly
turning il toward himself fired a shot
and fell to the floor. He was unknown to
anyone in the store, but in the crowd
that gathered were people who knew him.
His name is Claud Williams, son of Frank
Williams, who formerly farmed near Lo-

years ago. He has an uncle T J. Will

Tor made an examination while he lay
on the floor of the store and found only

the bullet having gone through the cloth

no doubt good, but the bullet struck a sus-
pender buckle and glanced without do

Williams is a young man about p years

country for several years. He came here
last Friday from Hawkinsville and has
been here several times before, and has
recently returned from Texas and Louisi-

certain matters that had recently trans

"UN DUEL A MORT
A Famous Nesting in Louisiana s I

a Famous Meeting in Louisiana as Told
in the Court Proos edings.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The title Of the case was The State
agt II. Trouette." 1t established new
era in our criminal Jurisprudence. The
statute upon which it was predlcated was
adopted on March 20, 1878 since which
time, owing to public opinion, it had
never been enforced. 1t enacted that the
surviving principal in a fatal duel should
suffer the penalty of death, as for murder.
and that all persons present, as seconds,
agents. and abettors should be regarded
as accessories befDre the fact.
In the combat which gave rise to the
prosecution Paul Pruet. the deceased, was
the challenging party. II was fought on
the bayou road on the 26th of June. 1870
The conditions to be observed we're read
on the ground and assented to by all the
parties. The seconds for Pruet the vic
tim, were Lalouette, a noted fencing mas
ter and Perez, and acting on Trouetto's
behalf were Crozat, for "a long time the
recorder OF births and deaths for this
parish, and Latour a popular politician
and wag.
The trial was conducted exclusively in
the French language. The attorney gen
eral opened the case by calling upon the
jury to perform an imperious and dis
W,
hut to the point He then read the indlct-
ment ana without further ado proceeded
20 examine the witnesses.
The gist Of the testimony for the state
was TO the following effect: on the 28th
Of June, 1870 both prisoner ana the de-
ceased had met at the selected ground:
that, agreeably TO the conditions agreed
on, they were placed back to back. at
five PAGES apart, each Of them having two
loaded pistols, one placed in the right
hand and the other In the left At the
word "hre" they were to turn round ana
discharge a pistol each-that held In the
right hand. The other was to be fired off
at such time thereafter as the party chose
but II was expressly stated In the condl-
tons that they were not to retire from
the field until one or the other OF the COM
batants should be killed. This was what
was called "un duel a mort"
II WAS shown in the evidence that ON
the word being given both parties turned
