Fun with a Spider. Spiders, in many respects, arc just like other animals, and can he tamed and petted, and taught a great many lessons, and which they will learn us readily as a dog or cat, But you must take the trouble to study their ways, and get on the good side of ihchi. One day 1 had been reading in a book how spiders managed to get their webs across streams and roads, and from the top of a till tree to another. I went out and caught n large garden spider?one ot those blue graw sprawling fellows, and fixed him up for my experiment. I took a stick about eighteen inches in length, and fastened a piece ol iron to one end of it, so that the stick would stand upon that end of itself. Then I pat this in the center of a large tub half full of water, and placed the spider on top of the Stick; I wanted to sec if it could get to "land," which was the edge of the tub, without any help. Ho ran down first one bide the stick and then the other. Each time he would stop when he touched the water, and shaking his foot as the cat docs would run upagam. A t last ho came to the concl jsion that ho was entirely surrounded by water?on an island in fact. After i cmai iiing pi?r fcetly quiet for a long while, during which, 1 have no doubt, he was arrang ing his plans, he begun running around to the top of the stick, and throwing out great coils of web with bis hind feet. Jn a few minutes little fine strings of web were floating in the ! siignt hroe/.emat was mowing. Atter a liMle, one of these threads touched the edge of the tub, and stuck fast, as all spider webs will do. This was just what air. .Spider was looking for, and the next minute he took hold of bis web, and gave a jerk as a sailor dues with a rope when he wishes to see how strong it is, or make it fast. Having satisfied himself that it was fast at the other end, he gathered it in till it was tight and straight, and then ran on it to the shore?a rescued castaway.? Christian AVtrx. An Englishman and a frenchman fought a duel, in summer time; aud not to make the act public, and the better to satisfy their conscience in case of the result proving fatal they agreed to fight in a darkened room The Englishman, unwilling to take his antagonist's life generously fired up the chimney?and brought down the Frenchman. "When I tell this story in French,' pleasantly added the narrator, "I make tho English man go up the chimney." A theatrical critic, who had both legs and arms broken, all of his ribs slaved in, and one side of his head de molished by the falling of the floor of the opera-house in Sacramento, on the. 19th, characteristically remar ked, as he was being conveyed to tho hospital an a stretcher : '?This is the first time I ever knew tho Peak fami ly to bring down the house." A criminal gives no pity?the rob ber would make his victim poor, tho murderer stints not to make widows ot* wives aud orphans of innocent children.

They Ei.udk Those on the Watch and have Their Fun-?The "Bio Bobber" Probably Wounded in the Ric:ht A p.m. New York, January 0.?The latest reporis regarding the Bennett May duel are as follows : Mr. Ben nett left here Thursday and went to (Boston. This was a ruse to draw off the attention of the public. lie did not know where the combat would be fought, tho arrangements being left, .to his friends, Mr. 8. JI. Robert son. [Mr. Fred. May, of Baltimore in the meantime arrived as second, and with Mr- Robertson, the terms of meeting or details ol lime and place, and weapons, etc., were arranged. The place selected was Slaughter Station, Kent County, Delaware, not far from the > aryland line. This region is very sparsely settled. Mr. May offered to provide a brace ol duelling pistols and his oiler was ac cepted. On Friday night Mr. Bennett, effectually disguised, returned from Boston, pnssed hurriedly through New York, and took the night train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, hav ing been joined by his second and by Dr. Charles Phclps, who went in the capacity surgeon. They went to Balti more, where they received a letter from Mr. Fred May, of that city, containing formal announcement to the second of the Bennett party of the preciso time and place. The parties 'arrived at Slaughter Station yester day morning, and the duel was fought at two o'clock in an open space iu the woods. " Mr. May, his second, Fred May '.Viri T;f?Mniin?n bi.'#sur?reon, were first on the ground, 'i he men were placed hack to back at ten paces dis tant. Roberts >n gave the word, and the two men turned and fired almost simultaneously. May staggered, hut Hennett stood for a moment holding his still smoking pistol almost in the position in wit ich he hail bred. Dr. Tighhunan ran forward to Mr. May and examined his wound, lie thought it would not prove fatal, but was of such a nature as to prevent hint from having an equal chance with his antagonist at a second shot.- T he wound was iu the leg. Mr. Bennett and his parly immediately returned to Philadelphia, and May was carried to '.he house of a relative. Later?Bennett't Suroeon in trouble. New Yohk, January 10.?Dr. Charles Phclps, who was connected with the May-Bennett duel, was sub poenaed before the grand jury to-day by the district attorney to testify con cerning it. lie refused to answer any questions, on the ground that he would criminate himself, and being brought before Judge Gildersleevo in the Court of G cneral Sessions and still refusing, he was committed to the city prison for thirty days for con tempt of court. The counsel for Dr. C. Phclps ap plied to Judge Donahue of the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner says he was subpoenaed before the grand jury and asked to answer certain questions tending to show that he was cogniz ant of Fotne alleged crime which had occurre d out of the jurisdiction of this court, which he refused to answer, and was committed for alleged con tempt of court. That the grand jury had no jurisdiction to inquire into tho matter, because the answer to their questions would tend to expose him to prosecutions in another State for felony, wherefore he prays for a writ of habeas corpus, &c. Judge Dona hue granted the writ and made it re turnable in the Supreme Court Th?rs day morning. The following are the questions asked by the grand jury : "On leaving New York on Sunday did you sec James Gordon Bennett?" "Where did you last see him V "Did you know of any hostile meeting hav ing occurred between Mr. Bennett and Mr. May ?" "After leaving Now York Sunday, when and where did you sec Mr. Bennett?" "At whose request or intervention did you leave New York on Sunday?" How Ben Hill Looks. Mr. Hill is now fifty-three years of age, is a Georgian by birth, and a man of fine personal apcarance, being above the average height, lithe and sinewy, without any appearance of leanness. He has a square face, large, steady glancing, blue-eye.?, a thin lipped, firm set mouth, the upper lip cleanly shaven always, with a full, clipped beard. His hair is rather bristling and slightly wavy, standing up and hack from his forehead, and is, together with his whiskers, of a yellowish brown color, with a small bald spot on the crown. He possesses an exceedingly pleasant almost musi cal voice, and is graceful and easy iu gcslicu'ation. The most character istic point connected with bis personal bearing in tho peculiar manner in which he habitually carries his head, which he docs by (hopping his chin ahnest upon his breast, and looking up and out from under his eyebrows. This he docs alike in walking and sit ting, hut when speaking ho throws hu head up and square Mr. Hill is one of the most scholarly men iu congress and is a great lover of books and home. He is never seen about the hotel lobbies or roiling around as the common run of congressmen do, and he is never absent from the house whenever any matter of importance is under discussion, for his peculiar attitude will always arrest the eye of the observer as ht> sits somewhere near the man who may bespeaking, so that he hears clearly what is g>iu g on in the noi y chamber. ri.
