A MYSTERIOUS MURDER-The murder of a young mau named McDaniel by a negro mau, which wns perpetrated last Tuesday, near the fiftcun-mile post on tho Georgia Railroad, is roported from AngtiBta. The murderer escaped, and but few details of the crime have been received. It appears that a Mr. McDa? niel owns a mill on tho Georgia Railroad, and Tuesday aftornoon, about 1 o'clock, his son, a young mau fifteen years old, eutered tho mill. There was in the building at the time only a negro man, whoSG L&Qj? is D?t giveu. What passed between tho parties is not known, but in H few minutes tho report of a pistol wus heard. Parties entering the mill found McDaniel shot through the breast and in a dying condition. He had been shot by thu negro, and the latter had made his escape. Young McDaniel lived only for a few minutes. Parlies immediately started iu ptirbllit of the munleror, and he wus traced to a point three miles from Augusta, but thoro tho clue was lost. The Archbishop of Cologno has for? mally excommunicated Professors lin? gers, Ku nod t, Langen aud Kusch, of the University of Bonn, for their rejection of thud gum of Papal infallibility.

A few years ago, I was much embar? rassed by the difflonlty of ohoioe. < Flo? rida held many attractions, bot, on the other hand, I was strongly tempted to try the hunting-grounds about 200 miles West of Omaha, where, an energetic Western friend wrote me, all kinds ol game were to be had in plenty, espe? cially, he informed me, in a floe burst ol enthusiasm,."big game,"deer, buffaloes, bears, and-and-Indians. With manj a sigh, I turned from this alluring pres peet, involving tho sacrifi?e of too mool time, and betook myself to tho St. Jobi River, Florida, and, engaging the ser' vioea of one Lafayette K. Wallop, bet tor known in that part as Ohnnky Lafe in allusion to hia thick set muscular con formation, as huntsman, boatman, am general factotum, I set ont in qnest o deer, Lafe paddling away at a grea pace. Gbnnky Lafe waa a silent man sparing of hin speech, but prodigal o hi? thews and sinews. His powerfo strokes sent the light oraft flying rapidl; past the marshy banks, wooded to tin water's edge, till, just os I was bogin 'ning to enjoy tho enforoed repose of th passive tenant of a canoe, a snddei shout from the hunter startled mo on of my semi-somnolebt condition. "Say, boss," said the Chunky one "gness you'd best lay down in the ca noe." ;' "Why on earth should I Ho down? do not seo euy reonon for hiding." "Wal, fact is, Hefty Bill Slocum i coming up stream." "And what have I to do with Mr. Sic oam?''I snapped ont rather impatiently "Wal, yer see, Bill and me is on shoot ing terms, and every time we meet w air kinder bound to havo a crack at cad other; so as I guess you, o'yurnel, ?lin' in this deal, you ought uot to put ti any stakes; thin here moen ain't none o your funeral, but it might soon be i you kep' settin' up thar." Here was a delightful mt nation 1 Tw .Southern desperadoes burning to et gage in an aquatic dmd, all remonstrate or iuterforeuoo absolutely useless; th agreeable prospect of tho canoe bein up?et in u broad, rapid river, thick! tenanted by alligator.", being conple with the probability of beiug aecidon ally pickod off by the rifle of Mr. Sh cum. However, as the exposure of my uppt works to Hefty Bill's firo could serve n useful purpose, I followed the advice < Lafo, und lay down tolerably well und? cover, breathing many a prayer for tl sucaess of our side. Peering over th edge, I saw that our opponent was wai ing, rifle in hand, for us to ooma withi rauge, a feat we were accomplishing wit detestable rapidity, whilo my gondolier rifle was at baud ready cocked, so thi he could drop the puddle and seize tl weapon at the slightest movement of h adversary. Nearer we came, not a sour breaking the deuth-liko silence, but tl light plash of the paddle as Lafe, by few last vigor?os strokes, shot with: range of the enemy. Dropping h paddle, with lightning speed, thc hunt seized his rifle. The report of the tv weapons rang ont together as accurate as if the oombatanta bad tired by signe The plash and ricochet of Slocum's bt let told my mao was unhurt, whi Chunky Lafe, lifting his fox-skin ca said slowly and solemnly: "Square at last, Bill Slocum 1 Po Sa'.

The mention of a woman's name 1 my usually taciturn guide natura' awakened my curiosity; but tho mome did not seem favorable for investigate the mystery, so I discreetly held t tongue, but suppose looked inquiriuf enough, ns, after paddling swiftly a silently for nearly an hour.

A good story is told about a green carpet-bagger, who came to Washington sometime last session with a considera? ble pile of greenbacks, and more curi? ous cunning, fell in ono night with a set of cappers and ropers for a faro bank, not ia? from the National Hotel. They took him- around in a very genteel way, and treated him copiously, and showed bim some sights, and then when they thought the proper time had arrived, proposed to fight a little game of the tiger. The carpet-bagger, nothing loath, followed them to their headquarter*; and, in order to make it appear perfectly fair, they proposed that the mau who had the largest amount of money should be the dealer. The green carpet-bagger revealed his pile, which tbe crowd was very anxious to see, and to their delight it proved, tbe biggest pile. "You are to be dealer 1" cried all. "Ob, no boys," protested tbe green carpet bagger, "I can't deal; I don't know anything about it. I've bucked many a time, but I've never dealt; can't deal." They all protested that as he had the biggest pile, and bad won tho obanoe, be must be tho dealer. "No, nol" cried tho green carpet-bag? ger. "I'll give ten dollars, twenty dol? lars, yea, filly dollars, to any mau who will deal in my place." They all insisted that ho should deal. He took up tbe cards in an awkward way, shuffled them with many ? gri? mace, and as bu was aboot to put the cards into thc box from which they were to be drawo, his hand accidentally slipped and revealed, under tho top card, the king of hearts, so that they all saw it. Every gambler immediately coppered on the king of hearts. Tho green carpet-bugger at onoe cried out: "Now, now, como boys, come, this won't do; you're taking the advantage of mo. There is something wrong, or yon wouldn't all bet in that way toge? ther. I won't play unless I can have another shuffle." They all insisted that the game should go on just as it wa?, and after many pro? testations that it wus not a fair thing to i take in u stranger so, the green carpet? bagger proceeded to deal. ile slipped off the top card, and there beneath, euro enough, was thu king of. h.-arts. They all pushed forward to sweep off the moDoy, but tho very green carpet bagger, drawing off the klug of hearts, exposed auothor king for thu third card. This made splits. "I'll take half that pile, boys," said tho greenest uf green carpet-baggers. And bo passed out with a mild expres? sion of countenance to look ut tho stat ne of freedom ou tho summit of thu capi? tol. They play no more with gteon car pot-baggers there.
