FiskN M tinier.
Stokes Telling His Ctory.
Stokes, the alleged murderer of James
Fisk, Jr., lias related the following to a re
porter.
-As God shall judge me. I did not ex -
pect to meet Janies Fisk that Saturday a!
ter noon ; X had no idea ot coming
across him at all that (lay; I had not seen
him before for some time, and had heard
that he was still sick of the small pox. I
was at the Grand Central Hotel with some
friends looking for other friends, and 1
was rambling to and fro about the hotel
when I met him accidently—by the mol
est accident, so help me God !” [lbis
last sentence very solemnly.] -1 had been
seldom to the Grand Central Hotel ; only
three times before in my life, I believe,
and only once before in the second story ;
so that X knew nothing about the interior
of the hotel at all. While rambling around
I met James Fisk, and he met me; we
met face to face and the moment lie saw
me lie put his hand in his pocket. He had
Ills pistol ready. I saw it just ns plain as
I see that seal skin cap of yours on your
knee there More plainly, for the light
was much bl ighter and clearer there than
it is here. 1 raised my pistol ; he fired
and I fired, and I knew no more, so great
was in}- excitemet, until they brought me
into the presence of Mr. Fisk. Kven then
1 did not know that he was wounded, lie
seemed calm enough, and was half sitting
on u sofa. He never said I Shot him or
ki'led him, or anything of the kind. lie
merely said to the officer who asked him
if lie recognized me. ‘Yes, I know tin
man; it is Mr. Stokes 'Nothing more. lie
even looked at me somewhat in his old
fashion. I think —sadly, yet not angrily,al
most tenderly. X felt almost like making
friends with him then, hut he waved his
hand, and they took me away: and I never
knew anything about that wound in the
abdomen so much about until the next
day. I thought all |the time I hud only
wounded him slightly, Unit it was a small
matter, and I wanted to get on hail at
once, I had not the slightest idea of killing
James Fisk, and no man was more sorry
to hear of his death,for withal! his fault: .
Jim had good stuff in him. and no man
knew it better than I, for I knew both
sides of him. But he was armed that af
ternoon, and I shall prove it this time; and
shall prove what was done with the pis
tol ; prove it to (lie satisfaction of the
world this time.”

The Great Value of Observation of
the Transit,
Stellar Photography.
From tin- Nt-w York Tribune.]
A Washington cor-respondent fin nixlics
us with some particulars of the prelimi
nary proceedings with refi-miic to obser
vations on the transit of Ycmis—an event
to take place December 8,. 1,-71. It will
be recollected Unit a small appropriation
has been made by Congress for this pur
pose. The great interest which is fell by
scientific men ail over I lie world in ob
taining a series of observations of this
listed!. ft more tlinn justified by the r.-iiity
of it,e i- (iii. and its importance in l’liiu
hilling iili-i-iii'iners with actual measures
of celestial distances. These transit oc
cur at alternate intei vuls of eight or more
than a hundred years.
The last was in 1 S<>!); the next will be
in 1F74; one follows in If.-'J, hut after
that there will he none till -hill The dis
tance of the earth from the sun, which
transit ohscivutions give the best munis of
determining, is used as the unit of incasiiie
in astronomy. It is one of ilic most ill ns
Irative evidences of the inconceivable spa
ccs with which that science deals, .but
when the whole diameter of the earth's
orbit is used ns a base line, we yet can
scarcely perceive tiie parraliax oftlie near
est fixed star. That is to say, that although
the motion of the earth around the sun
alters tin- I'm mei s position in space more
than I SO,0(10,000 miles iu six iiion.lhs.it
lots only been w ith tlie most accurate oil
srrvuiions, and the best of instruments
that the dill'eieuce of the apparent posi
tion of any of the stars, which results
from such a change of place on the part
of the observer, lias been detected and
measured. The distances of the members
of the solar system have been ascertained
principally upon this basis, and and astro
nomically reckoned as being such and such
proportions of the radius of the earth's
.orbil : the calculations being largely fa
ciliated by Kepler's law, w hich lie at the
foundation of the doctrine of gravity.
It isdifficull to give ill a few words even
an approximate motion of the process ol
calculations liy which observations on the
transit of Venus arc made available for
measuring our distance from tlie sun.
Nevertheless, we shall make the attempt.
If a person seated in a room within a lew
vaids of ail open window, seould hold lior
ri/.outally and levcljjwilh his eyes a sheet
of paper, and draw upon it from each eye
a line toward someone point on a buil
ding on Hie opposite side ol the street, say
a distance of one hundred feet, his results
would not be unlike those of astronomers
when attempting to obtain by direct ob
servation the distance of the sun. He
w ould have the distance between his eyes,
as the base of a triangle ; but the two
lines upon his sheet of paper toward the
object would flow toward each other so
slightly- that he would find great difficulty
in estimating--'their rate of approach, or,
in other words, in measuring the auglfe
which the sides of his triangle form with
its base So. though astronomers may take
the whole diameter of the earth as a base
line. anil observers on opposite sides of the
globe may furnish their angular measure
ments of lines drawn towaid the sun,
these lines will he found so nearly parallel
that a mistake in observation to the extent
of the thickness of a hair seen at the dis
tance of a mile makes an error in calcula
tion of tiie distance of the sun 35,000
miles.
But now iT the observer at the window
closes it and selects a bar of tiie sash for
an intermediate point of obsi i valion, lie
limy draw lines Ironi his eyes toward Hie
bar which will nppioneli each other so
rapidly that their angle is easily measura
ble. Looking with one eye and then with
the other, he will sec tiie bar projected on
tiie building opposite, in two dilfercut pla
ces. He may measure the apparent space
between these places, and can be certain
that all the parts of a triangle of which
that apace is the base and the bar the apex
are exactly proportionate to those of the
measurable triangle of which tiie space be
tween his eyes is the base. If, now, he
has the means oftlie proportion which Ills
distance from the opposite building,bears
to the width of tiie street, lie will have
no difficulty in calculating by tin; rule of
three his absolute distance from that buil
ding and ascertaining all its visible di
mensions. The liar of the sneli represents
in tiie larger problem, the planet in transit.
Kepler's laws, and innumerable observu
lions, Imve already pmvided the propor
tion ot the earth's orbit to that of Venus.
Difference of time aim the motions of the
earth uml the planet add to the intricacies
hut not to tiie difficulties of calculation.
But it is evident that stations for observu
lion in tlie track, or shadow of tire transit
need to he wide apart, so as lo give a long
base line measurement.
Within a few years, and notably iu the
eclipse observation.' of L-oift. American
astronomers have taken tire lead in the
use of stellar photography,maps have been
obtained that meet the precise tests of mi
crometrical measurement. The difficulties
wcie enormous Iu taking pliologrrphs
the most delicate clock work must carry
Hie podcrous instruments in a direction
contrary to the motion of the earth before
exposure. Very slight differences of tem
perature, to say nothing of tiie heat ac
companying an image of tiie sun, modify
Hie movement, us well as the shape of the
instruments and a carefully adjusted focus
which must he aclinic, not visual.
The highest order of skill and patience
were called forth iu the construction of
the photographic len ; the story of that is
alone, .a history. It remains only to be
said that while photography is to play tiie
most prominent part in tiie observations
of the transit. Us use for this purpose is
largely due to the unobtrusive labors of a
private citizen, who lias teen content to
devote ids time and wealth to celestial
pliotogaaphy. without other reward than
tiie satisfaction which the successful pur
suit of science a fiord.

MACON, GA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2. IS tt.
A FORGOTTEN DUEL BETWEEN
NAVAL OFFICERS.
HOW A OIIKAT IIP 1,1 ,Y MKT HIS MATCH.
A late spasmodic revival of the so called
Code of Honor iu some of the Southern
Stab's —though w ith more of a fureial life
assurance aspect than in tiie earlier tragic
interpretation--litis inspired certain Yir
giniau magazinists and editors to make
retrospect, of the iron days of fifty or sixty
years ago. when a challenge to combat
meant something mine serious than the
wild, planetary pistoling of two inebriated
carpet-knights Thus, the Norfolk Month
ly Visitor refers with melancholy itdmira
lion to tiie typical affair between the lia
vul olliei rs. McKnight and Lawson, oeeur
ling just before the late war with Kiig
loud, when Ike American soldier or sailoi
—but pailicularly the latter—felt it in
cumbent upon lies professional honor to
counterbalance die contracted proportions
of tiie national armament by all possible
increase of the fatality of its individuals.—
As given b.v the magazine mentioned, and
subsequently amended by a critical corres
pondent thereof, the story of the all'air in |
question may be condensed for the news
paper leaders in t lie following term-: —|
Lieutenant McKnight, a half brother of
Commodore Decatur, was a duellist by
the same fatality Ihirt makes a man a
gamester In the slitting of men's pas
sums that they might become his prey
there was for him a baleful fascination
which be never cared to analyze nor
wished to icsist. Once lasting human
blood, in the amateur slaughter tolerated
by a barbarism of crude society, the com
bined exultation and despair of the irrevo
cable deed overwhelmed all his capacity
for moral protest, and lie became the dead
ly enemy of bis species Irrevocably a
criminal, tiie duellist sees no place for
him in life save that which he can terror
ize for himself, and in tiie desperate main
tenance of that place he mocks at every
plea of the tenderness and pity reserved
tor happier men.
MeKnijflit was tiie most notorious duel
ist of li is day, a perfect and dexterous
master of tiie fatal code, and the slayer of
no less than six antagonists. To be a
subordinate officer upon tiie same vessel
with him was either to endure his harsh
manner* wft.li craven submission or he
challenged to almost certain death ; and
hence, in 17—, when Lieutenant Richard
X.aw.son, a young Virginian from Princess
Anne County, found himself assigned to
this man's ship for a three year's cruise iu
the Mediteranean lie knew, from fame
and iiis brother officers, what to expect,
Scarcely had Unit ship, sailing from Nor
folk, dropped down the Narrows between
Forts Norfolk and Nelson (the latter work
occupying tiie site of the present Naval
Hospital.) when the dreaded Lieutenant
selected llie new-comer from amongst
oilier associates at the mess table with him
for one of his characteristic sallies of rude
ness. Law son bore tiie provocation admi
rably until it increased to grossness, and
then suddenly left the table. Being re
minded subsequently by his friends that
he must either tight or ha branded as a
coward, hs replied that he hud no *ther
intention ; had anticipated the inevita
ble insult and its consequences, and slTould
surely take vengeance upon tiie bully- at
tiie right lime. The ship reached the
Jlediteiaueau in due course, and cruised
for the appointed term ; yet still tiie
junior Lieutenant bore the necessary con
tempt of tiie men who had wantonly
given him tiie lie, and was apparently
re-signed to bear it. It was noted how
ever, that every opportunity of going
ashore, lie withdrew from tiie merry
makings of his party, and, in company
with one chosen friend, retired to some se
eluded spot. This, as became known
thereafter, was to practice with pistol and
broadsword Finally, the cruise being
ended and the vessel ordered home, Uieli
ard Lawson availed himself of the after
noon in Hie port to cliunge suddenly his
whole demeanor towards McKnight and
assume the aggressive. “ What do you
mean, sir y" asked tiie surprised and infu
riated dead-shot at last “I mean sir, ”
retorted the other, “Hint I understand your
character us a’ducllist, know thatyou have
killed six men, and believe that, despite
all, you are a coward !” This speech, of
course, forced tiie professional fire-eater to
become the challenging party, which was
exactly what tiie Virginian wanted, and
gave him the choice of weapons, lime and
terms. JSearly on the morning of sailing
day the two men went ashore,accompained
by their seconds, to fight tiie long delayed
battle. The terms of meeting was that each
of the principals should carry a pair of
pistols in a belt at ids waist, have a pistol
in eaeli hand, and wear a broad-sword at
his side. Distance twenty yards, at a sig-
I ustl Huy weieto advance upon each oilier
; firing as rapidly us possible; engaging each
| other finally at close quarters with (lie
swords.should lr< it ii survive to that point,
Iu accordance with tins plan, dictated by
Lawson, llieduellist confronted his seventh
man at last, and was by him shot dead
in his tracks at the first fire. Tiie victor,
mourning his victory, resigned ills cotn
. mission upon tiie the return of his ship to
I .Yorfolk, and after a brief career of moody
i retirement in his old home, sought to lose
: Hie memory of wlml he had done byjoin
-1 ing the army (ill HI2) to fight the British.
