Our readers will recollect that" the, rloiiri.-hing town of Henderson was almost entirely laid waste by the devouring element, early in the Spring of 1870. The origin of these two fires have remained a "mystery since ; human skill having failed to discover the perpetrator of the crime, until, happily, it was decided to send after Kobert I.

In our chapter on duelling, in last Monday's JHosaic we omitted an' amusing incident which occurred a good many years ago be tween two men in Mississippi, whose names have since become historical in the annals of this country. We refer to Robert J. Walker and Dr. William M. Gwin, Duke ot Sonora. An altercation occurred between them which led to a challenge from 3Ir. Walker. Walker was a man 'of remarkably diminutive size, while the Doctor towered like a giant, With the brawd and bone of the London porter. Walker' was bent on fighting, but the Doctor, who was naturally a jovial and 'kind-hearted soul, did not feel at all aggrieved toward his adversary. Be that as it might; tho Doctor accepted the challange,' and choose the In dian war-tomahawk as his weapon. The terms were so arranged that on, a given day the combatants were to be posted one hun dred and fifty yards apart, and at a given signal, to rush' pa-t each other, like knights in a tourney, flinging their tomahawks in their course.'j ' . j . j J ",'''"' ''-'-'!' Tlie Doctor caused it to be bruited abroad that he practiced every day in a Savannah, a few miles away from the; town where both resided.' Piqued with curiosity, Mr. Walker allowed imsclf to be persuaded to visit the spot surrebtitionsly, and! view the achieve meuts of his antagonist. ! 'Xot so surrepti tiously,; however, that Dr. '-Gwin was not aware whose prying eyes were fixedupon his movements. Measuring off one hundred and fifty paces from ibe solitary stump of a pine tree, the Doctor bounded with a spring and a yell"' that would have delighted a Chinga chood the i venerable 'padre ef the last of the Mobegans;,his tomahawk poised high in the air, a grin of demoniao ferocity lighting up his strongly-marked features." f As he neared the stuuip he projected the missile, With a powerful sweep bi his arm,- clean . up to the handle into the soft pine, and, panting, .came to a dead halt. There was something so hidi- croasly savage in all tliis, that Mr. Walker, oursi mvoiuuuruy mu a in a large number of cases receutly, to applications for the release of goods seized goods are found concealed on the person. The payment of the appraised value of the goods will only effect.their release. Violators of the law of this character are detected mere frequently alomr the Canadian border than at our ports of foreign entry. There were three hundred and sixty-five divorce cases In Cincinnati last year; just one a day. j ' Botts, who' killed "Pet" Halstead, says he remembers nothing at all about the murder. He; loved -the ; woman Wilson and he was drunk, "mad drank," as the excellent Mr. Foster would say. ' He knows nothing else at all connected with j the tragedy. And so again one great crime! is made the excuse for another., 1 In.
