A letter to the Now York Woidd
,gives the details of a desperate on
counter between two desperadoes,
"flugh 'iidersori,. qf Texas, and
Arthur MoClusky, of Kansas. Saver.
al years since Anderson shot three men
in a dance-houso and 'fled. 'One of
hese men was a brother of MoClusky,
and leClushy d~termined to avenge
%is death. McClusky disoovered An
derson at Medioini Lodge Indian
Territory, and challenged him to
deadly combat. The challenge was
accepted. The parties were to stand at
wenty paces, wheel and fire, and then
continue the conbat with pistol and
bowie knife. The discription is taken
'roin this letter.
THE DUEL.
McC'lisky was the 'first to fire
.wheeling as he did so, though the
smoke had scarcely curled up from,
his'pistol before the report of And.ecr
son's weapon followed. A moinen
tary pause. ensuied, each of the an
tagonists closely scanning the other to
note the effect of the shot. A.oross
'Anderson's chock a deep furrow, froi
, wbioh the blooa slowly began to
trieko down, told the work of his an.
tagonist, while MoClusky remained
standing in his original posture, to:
'11 appearances unharmed. But this
was not the fact. Those nearest to
hi, fancied they saw a sudden spasm,
as of pain, pass throtrgh. hie franie,
and his face certainly blanched to a
death-like pallor, but just where
Lthe ball took effect they could Tiot
tell.
At the secona ire MoClusky again
anticipated his opponent, and taking
a more deliberate aim succeeded in
3' breaking his left. arm., Anderson
uttered a sharp cry and sink on one
nee,but quiokly renovering himself
returned the fire, and thia time with
a horrible effect. The bAll passing
tbronglh McClusky's mouth, carried
away with it several of the clenched
,eeth and a porti6n of the. tongue,
finally odged.in 'tWe bas'e of the skull.
MoClusky staggered forward wildly a
few steps and made desperate efforta
to steady himself. The blood poured
u torrents from the wound and stain.
d his hunting shirt and dripped from
the muzzle of his pistol; but with he.
roio courage he contined to advan'oe,
'pitting out mouthfuls of blood and
teeth at every step.
. During the interval thus gained,
,Amderson, who, in his crippled state,
hadevery reason to shun a hand-to
bn4 encounter, had not been idle, but
fired aoother well-aiioued 'hotJ which
broke M4Clusky's left shoulder. As
if this was not enough, lie sent still
another ball after him, which, strik
ing him in the pit of the stomach;
paused him to fall forward heavily on
his face. McClusky was now mortal
ly #dnded and momentarily growing
weaker fr'dm loss of blood. Tearing
open his shirt in his agoby' a crimson
bpot on his left side indicated the
lace where Anderson's first shot had
taken effect. ie .still, however, re
- kaindA the grasp of his pistol, and by
an effort superhuman in its coolness
hnd deliberatida fired att hifi attago
hist his third shot.
The latter had been eldsely wvatch
in for this, and endeavored to savo
himself by suddenly dropping to the
grounid, Too late, however, Mc
tilusky's finger was already on ,the
trigger and his eye long the sights;
aud when his adversary'a body reach.

plstol ball. A scream of pain follow
- ' bd and the spectators saw the figure
pf a man clutching wildly with his
liands at the grass and writhing and
t#isting in hotriblo boutortiods. The
bullet had strucli him full in the ab
domen anid like lise antagonist, An
derson was now a fast dying dhan.
At this juneture it seemed as if the
browd would interfere, but IIardling
sternly bade them keep back and
leave the men to settle thie matter i
their own ways As none cared to de
pute with the gtgantio hunter, the
mandate was obeyed, though a univer*
gal expression of horror ran through
the crowd of spectators, a number of
whom were the' entgineers and attach
es of our own party. Still, horrible
as was the scene, go' one thought of
?ea'ring the spot. An irresistible fas
cination to see it out bound one and
all alike to tbe blood stained locality.
But the finale was at hand-the cur
tain almost ready to drop.
MoClusky,anummoning by a supreme
effort his remaining trength, drew his
tnife aiid began to crawl feebly in
in the directiou of his antagonist.
The latter, who had raised himself to
a sitting pobtuife, saw the movement
and appeared to meet it. Both bad
dropped thoie revolvers, leaving to
tho cold steel the completion di the
work.
By this time it had growil quite
monts of the combatants required the
closest attention. Anderson was,
clearly unable to move any poi tion of
his body save his right arm. With
this lo raibod his knife aloft, and ws
MoClusky crawled up to within reach

outting muscles and tendons and vones,
and half severing the head from the
body.
But the effort was too much for him,
and leaving the weapan sticking in
the wound, he pitched heavily for
ward on his face. Every one sup
Fiosd that this blow would. have in
stantly killed M 'Clusky, but stran-e
to say it did not, for so great was his
vitalit.y that before falling he twice
plunged his own knife the body of
Aqderson. The talo is soon told.
McClusky lived a minuto longer than
his antagonist. The. dead bodies
firmly looke, in each other's cmbra.e,
were taken to the house of Harding
and laid out side by side on the gam.

Observer gives an account of the un
lawful taking of tho railroad fton
Charlotto to Statesville, from Col.
Johnston, the president in poseimssin.
This is just the way Tom Scott and
Uarrett, of the Baltimore & OIio
road, fought some time ago except
Garrott and Scott called out armed
mlei. Garrett and -cott armed their
omployees with Sharp's rifles and re
volver" instead of picks and spades.
Toni Scott's force being too large' for
Garrett, flankod him and torc up the
track.
If Col. Johnston should talho out a
rail or two between Charlotte and
Statesville, as Garrett dii, it would
work ,erious injury to the public.
We trust the whole community wil I
not bo involved in this quarrel, which i
should be contiued to a few. Instead
otf arming two or throo ihu ndred men,
Tomn Scott, and G arrett siould havei
been required, with revolvers, to sec
whose title to the road was best.

The origin of the expremsion the
"Man in the Moon" is unknown, but
the inme has from time immemorial
been applied to the dark lines and
spota upon the surfiice of theo moon,
which aio visible to the ui..ed eye,
and which, when viewved through a
good telescope, aire discovered to be
the shadows of lunar mountains, 1t
is one of the 'most popular and most
ancient superstitions of the world that
these linen and spots are the Ii gmi:e of
a mlan leaning on a fork on whicli lho
carries a bundle of therns or lbrush,
wood, for stealing which on Bunday
lie was confined to the moon. The
reount given of -.t man who was ston
ad to death for gathering stieka oin
Sundlay, is supposed by some to be
the origin of this belief. D~ante sup
poses Cain to have been the off'ender
whlo was placed etcrnally in the moon
for punishimeint of his crimge. Some
of the old poe0ts thought the~se upots
and lines represented the boy Elndy

so well that rhec carried him constant.

thcy represented a foxt.

beastly purposes. Au instance is
furnished of where thme beaistly
scoundrel met a young girl of fifteei
of extreme beauwy and of undoubted
virtue. Advances were made to hear,
but she repelled thiem. Determined
to accomplish bis purposes, Moses
bought the girl fromi her inhumaan
mother, and every day she was
carried in a close carriage to
his apartments. If half that its
told be true this scoundrel should
be driven from thme State with thme
