The Chicken Fights.
So far Georgia has been ahead in the
chicken disputes at the Fair Grounds.
Tho birds belonging to Mr. Brown, of
Macon, appear to bear all before them.
Out of eight fights yesterday, Georgia
won six.
Drowned.
Yesterday, Patrick Costello was out
fishing in a boat, near Langley, S. C.,
when the boat filled with water and
sunk. Before going down, Costello
cried out to his little son, who was on
the bank that he was sinking, and to
run home and tell the folks. Costello
was a man about forty-five years of
age, and leaves a wife and a large
amily of children.
Railroad Accident.
Train No. 1, on the South Carolina
Railroad, which left Augusta at an
early hour yesterday morning, met
with an accident at Aiken, which de
tained it for some time. When pro
ceeding on its way Charleston-wards,
with engine No. 30 pulling it, at the
siding it collided with a freight train
proceeding towards Augusta. Fortu
nately, the train was not moving rapid
ly, or else the damage might have been
severe. As it was, one freight car was
smashed, and the engine was some
what injured.
Railroad Excursion;
About ten o’clock last night, an ex
cursion party left this city for a trip
over the Port Royal Road, for the pur
pose of making a visit to Port Royal
aud the naval fleet stationed about
eight miles from Port Royal. The party
left in a special train, and consisted of
Col. J. B. Palmer, President, and James
Anderson, Esq., Superintendent Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad;
Capt. Fleming, Superintendent Port
Royal Railroad ; Capt. W. M. Timber
lake, Agent Atlantic Coast Line; W. N.
Mereier, of the firm of Benson & Mer
cier; a representative of the Constitu
tionalist. and several other gentlemen.
The party will return on Thursday.
Amusements.
By some mismanagement the adver
tisement announcing that Ben De Bar
•would play Falstaff in the “Merry Wives
of Windsor,” was not insered in tbe
city papers; hence, it was easy to ac
count for the small audience present
last night. It was a disappointing per
formance all through; first,because the
star, d.u not come up to the general
expectation in the very difficult role he
has assumed, and secondly, the com
pany is beneath mediocrity. Mr. De
Bar is an actor whose reputation has
been established these many years, and
he has always been a favorite, espe
cially in the South. As Falstaff, he did
not—to speak plainly—“fill the bill,”
and suffered in a comparison with the
recollections of the great Hackett. The
poor support, and meagre accommoda-
Jions of our opera house, may have
had much to do with the apparent
failure. The play was badly “out,” and
many Of the audience severely com
mented on this feature of it.
ANOTHER AFFAIR OF HONOR.
Almost a Duel—Arrest of One of the
Principals—Reconciliation Through
Friends.
Yesterday morning, the police force
by their activity, showed they had seri
ous business in hand, and on inquiry it
was ascertained a duel was on the tapis,
and a search was being made for the
parties who were concerned in the af
fair, in order to effect their arrest.
An application for a warrant was
made to Colonel Claiborne Snead,
County Judge, and promptly granted,
and in half an hour Major one
of the principals, was in the hands of
the police, having been arrested at the
Planters’ Hotel.
He felt much grieved at his arrest,
and said: “ Well, there are other
States besides Georgia,” evidently de
termined on a meeting.
The arrest was brought around by
the following dispatch, received by
Mayor Estes about K):30 a. m.
Winnsboro, S. C., Dec. 21, 9:4.5 a..m.
Mayor Estes :—I have reason to believe
that and—— have left here with
their friends for the purpose of having a
hostile meeting near your city. Please
take steps to prevent a meeting.
Pierre Bacot,
Intendent of Winnsboro.
A search was made for the other
principal, but through the intervention
of friends he was smuggled out of the
reach of the police.
The principals were Col. , a well
known planter, who has been some
what prominent in promoting the best
interests of his class in the State of
South Carolina, and Major , au
officer of a corporation, and who has
held a high position in the political
world.
Both have the reputation of being
gentlemen of undoubted courage, are
of middle age and married.
As soon us it became known in Au
gusta that two South Carolinians were
to fight a duel in Georgia, it caused a
marked sensation among our citizens,
aud the universal sentiment appeared
to be, that the duel should be prevent
ed at all hazards. Both of the princi
pals have warm friends in Augusta,
and steps were at once taken to ex
amine the matter endeavor to re
concile the parties. It was most fortu
nate that those selected as a Board of
Honor were men of discretion and gal
lant soldiers, whose reputation has
been made on many a hard fought
field.
They took hold of the subject in a
most practical, business-like way, and
in less than three hours the whole mat
ter was amicably arranged, the arrest
ed party was released by the authori
ties, and the party attended the theatre
in the evening, evidently enjoying with
great gusto the stage duel between
Slender and Dr. Caius.
It is said no formal challenge had
passed, but it was understood the duel
was to have come off to-day, if it had
not been amicably arranged. We sup
press the names at the special request
of some of the friends of the parties.
As to the origin of the difficulty, all we
could learn was that in consequence oT
the shooting of a hunting dog by a ne
gro employed by one of the gentlemen,
and a refusal to make an explanation
for the shooting, brought around the
difficulty. And yet, because a nig
ger shot a dog, two brave gentlemen
would risk their lives in bloody com
bat! Both have proved their courage
on many a hard fought field, and it re
flects the greatest credit on them, as
well as their friends, that they followed
the dictates of good judgment, and
that greatest test of a chivalrous spirit
— the moral courage to confess a mis
take. “All’s well that ends well.”
The Cavalry Survivors’ Benefit To-
Nlglit.
The benefit tendered the Cavalry
Survivors’ Association by Happy Cal
Wagner’s Minstrels will take place to
night, at Girardey’s Opera House. This
troupe is so well known in this section
that anything we should now say in its
favor would be superflous, as every one
knows Cal Wagner offers nothing but
a first class entertainment and has
always drawn crowded houses here.
To show what is said of him and his
troupe in a distant city, we copy the
following from the Dubuque Herald :
As usual, an overflowing house greeted
“Happy Cal” and his splendid minstrel
troupe last evening at the Atheueum. The
programme was a good one, introducing
many novel and funny features. The quar
tette of vocalists are the best we nave
heard with any traveling company, and
the brass band would be hard to beat any
where. Their selections are good and their
performance magnificent. Cal Wagner, as an
end man, needs no words of praise from our
oen. He is a burnt cork prince, and fills every
part he pi ys upon the programme to per
fection. Harry Blanchard’s double-voiced
vocalism is anew feature in the minstrel
business, and brought down the house with
his clever performance. The flute, cornet and
banjo solos were all good, as was in fact
the entire musical programme. The song
and dance men were kept on the stage as
long as their breath lasted. The Hampton
students were matchless in their part of
the funny business, and the Baby Elephant
should be brought out at the great Cen
tennial show. Tpo entertainment was one
of the best ever given here by Cal Wag
ner’s troupe, or any other troupe that has
visited our city.
Recorder’s Court.
Yesterday, the following cases were
disposed of:
George Hopper and John Brugen,
for quarrelling, were fined $1 each.
Mary Buker, for using “cuss words”
toward half a dozen perrons, was fined
$lO.
Morris Murray, colored, Samuel Ry
an, colored, and Abram Lawrence, col
ored, were fined for drunkenness.
Total receipts for the day, 539.50.
New Orleans is mystified by the sud
den appearance of a youDg stranger
who casually dropped into a billiard
saloon the other day, said he’d try a
game or two with the proprietor,
“though he didn’t play much,” and
since that time has used u£ every good
player the town can produce. He says
he is “ Mr. Drew, from Texas ;” but
that sounds apocryphal.
In one of the composing rooms of
Louisville the cockroaches have suc
ceeded in stopping a clock, either in
devouring the oil or by taking their
siestas on the wheels. Asa cockroach
never takes his siesta until everything
eatable around him has been consumed,
it is difficult to determine which of
these causes has silenced the faithful
time-piece.
Providence seems to watch over the
little man with a big wife, and teaches
him that one of the principal conditions
of domestic tranquility is to always
keep his dander at low tide.— [Brooklyn

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
A stroll on Broad street among those
having holiday presents for sale, shows
that while the display is not quite as
large as usual, there is a greater
variety. First, we visited tbe book
and music store of George A. Oates,
where we found a stock of beautiful
and useful articles for sale, which
would be so very acceptable as Christ
mas presents. His stock of chromos
are superb, comprising everything
tasty in that line, both with and with
out frames. They are really beautiful,
which secured the opinion of others
from their lioerality in purchasing. His
assortment of Bibles, prayer books,
both Catholic and Episcopalian, pocket
books, portfolios, albums, games,
stereoscopes and views, is quite large.
The gold, pearl and Japan mounted
pencils are exquisite. Young folks of
all ages can be supplied with books to
their entire satisfaction from his large
and varied assortment. Altogether, it is
a treat to look around his establish
ment. On enquiring the prices of the
various articles, we thought them very
reasonable.
Further on we came to the store of
G. H. Miller, No. 184 Broad street,
where can be found one of the most
comple assortments of silver plated
ware in the city, and which he sells at
very low prices. The following is a
portion of his assortment:
Wine stands, tilting ice pitches, pickle
stands, elegant card receivers, butter
dishes, cologne stands, tea sets, wait
ers, flower vases, toilet sets, sugar
dishes, celery stands, egg boilers, fruit
knives, preserve dishes, baking dishes.
Beautiful presents of various kinds
are offered by Dr. F. J. Moses, No. 280
Broad street. Ladies here find
many articles appropriate for presenta
tion at this seasoh. Dr. Moses has a
very superior stock, all articles being
new and selected by himself in person
in New York. Toilet sets of Bohemian
glass ware and cut glass, cologne bot
tles, all the most popular perfumery
and extracts, soaps, brushes, etc., of
every description. All are offered
at the very lowest prices at
which a living profit can be
made. His prescription department
and stock of patent medicines is
perfect, and customers need not fear
they will be delayed in their purchases,
as every one is waited on at once upon
entering the store. Dr. Moses’ stock of
soaps is especially large, fine aud
varied. Every article sold by him is
warranted as represented.
Now, for a holiday present from one
gentleman to another, in this holiday
season, a box of fine segars would not
be out of order, and one of the best
places to purchase them is at Wilson
& Dunbar’s. Or if, probably, a happy
father, haviug smiliug urchins at his
knee, wishes them to enjoy Christmas,
he should go to Wilson & Dunbar’s
and lay in a full supply of fire crack
ers, large and small, with any quantity
of rockets, Roman candles, snakes,
blue lights, and the many other fire
works too numerous to mention, but
always dear to the juvenile heart. Low
prices will greet all who favor this
house with their custom.
A Notable Tailoring Establishment.
Among the leading fashionable mer
chant tailors of Augusta, we are sure
that August Dorr will be accorded by
the public one of the most prominent
places in the front rank. Mr. Dorr is,
we are informed, about the oldest es
tablished and one of the most success
ful tailors in the merchant line in this
city, or probably in the State of Geor
gia.
He has been a resident of Augusta
since 1852, aud is now in the prime of
an extremely healthy manhood. He
commenced business on his own ac
count in 1866, in the store next be
low his present stand (previous to the
war occupied by Haigh & Andrews, and
afterward by C. W. Hersey). By strict
and personal attention to business, he
very soon had a large and permanent
custom, which in time enabled him to
purchase the building where he is now
located, No. 222 Broad street.
Our older citizens will recollect that
this property was owned by the late
Isaac Henry, Esq., and for many years
was occupied by Mr. W. H. Crane, a
prominent dry goods merchant.
Upon Mr. Dorr’s removal to his new
stand, success seemed to attend him
without fail. He always gave, and still
does give, his personal attention to
every order received from his custom
ers and the public, and thus affords
general satisfaction. This has been his
motto, and to this as well as to a lib
eral system of advertising, he attributes
his success in all his undertakings in
this line of business. A better lesson
the rising generation of young men
could not study.
In addition to giving satisfaction to
every customer, Mr. Dorr has gained
the confidence of every one having
business transactions with him by his
promptness in all things pertaining to
the trade. By so doing he has won the
title of “first class” for his establish
ment, and it is first cjass in all that
pertains to a gentleman’s outfit.
Mr. Dorr constantly employs three
cutters and forty-two hands, besides
clerks in the store. He manufactures
and forwards clothing “to the four
points of the compass.” He has custo
mers (and ships goods to them) in
Charleston, Columbia, Charlotte, Jack
sonville, Savannah, Atlanta, Athens,
Washington, Memphis, New Orleans,
and even in New York city, besides the
various interior cities and towns in
Georgia, on the line of the Georgia and
other railroads.
Mr. Dorr is a cash buyer and
therefore offers corresponding ad
vantages to his customers. To use
his own language, he is “one of the few
who cannot complain of hard times.”
This is the best illustration of his suc
cess in business.
A few days ago an elegantly dressed
lady got into an avenue car, and, al
though the day was cool, she could not
wear her gloves, on account of her
many diamond rings. A balky horse
having twice stopped the car, the lady
went to the door, and, looking at the
team for a few moments, said to the
driver: “That ’ere off horse ain’t used
to be druv on that ’ere side.” And
that was just the trouble, in spite of
the diamonds.

ens about two-thirty p. aj.
“ Prince,” a black and tan terrier be
longing to Mr. Morrison, has had one
of his legs neauy eaten off by the rats
at the stable, corner of Walker and
Twiggs streets. These rats are repre
sented to be very ferocious, and of a
breed almost unknown in this section
of country. Where they caino from
has not yet been determined.
The entertainment o.< the Marion
Dramatic Club, which was to have
taken place on Thursday uiglit, has
been necessarily postponed. Due no
tice will be given when it will take

Two elegant palace sleeping cars
passed through the city; last evening
en-route to Savannah, where they will
be placed on the Atlantic and Gulf line
from Savannah to Jacksonville. They

Wilmington, Del. f

The Late Duel.
[Communicated.]
Mr. Editor: In the Tuesday’s issue
of the Chronicle, we notice an article
referring to the laws against dueling.
Some parties are anxious to take up
this late melancholy affair as the one
for punishment and enforcement of
the law. “Procrastination is the thief
of time,” and doubtless it is well
enough, when a law ha? been a dead
letter so long, to lose no time in re
form. But in this particular case,
where it actually appears to us that
the blame lay almost as much, if not
much more, (?) on outsiders as on the
principals themselves, there would be
a,n string of offenders and
breakers of the law to be dealt with if
justice were administered. Section 4
of the Code of dueling shows us this.
With whom would it begin, and with
whom end? When actually so public
as to be made known beforehand,
through the medium of our daily
papers, and not a hand raised to legal
ly prevent it, where and with whom
lies the fault? Time was what was
needed, and had the laws been enforced
then—and not clamored for so loudly
now —all might have been adjusted.
Remorse fills the heart of the perpe
trator of the deed, and, although our
anguish cannot equal his. let each one
to whom this may apply, ask himself
if remorse does not fill his heart when
he thinks of this grievous sin of
“omission.’ Tho writer of this is not
guiltless, and therefore? shares the
vengeance of bitter regret with many
others. Justice.
A Courtship.
M. H. 8., in a New York letter to the
St. Louis Republican, says : The De
troit Free Press describes a Texas
courtship, but it is not half as funny
as one that is carried on twice a week
in a friend’s kitchen. Her cook is a
German named Louisa, and she has
lor a beau a middle-agl'd Yaukeeof
small pretensions to intellect:
One report of one conversation is a
verbatim account of tho whole court
ship.
Smith knocks and enters. Louisa
says, gruffly :
“Yell, Srnitt, how you goes?”
“Putty well, Louisa,” drawls Smith.
Then silence for five minutes, when
Louisa says : ; TANARUS
“Vot vas the vedder outside ?
“Pretty fair, Louisa,”
Another intermission.
“Did you bring your razor mit you,
Smitt ?”
“Yes. Louisa.” s
Then he proceeds to cut his fair in
amorata’s corn—a solemn silence brood-,
ing above the pair. About nine Smith
ventures to remark:
“I s’pose I must be going, Louisa ?”
And Louisa replies :
“Yell, likely as not it would be bet
ter.”
And the door closes and the courting
is over. This has been going on for
four years without a single accident.
Twice a week this mingling of soul
and sentiment, this cutting of
and exchange of affection takes place.
Probably this winter the marriage will
eventuate, and Louisa vtill get some
one else for a corn doctor, since it’s
against all nature that a husband
should be, for a moment arter marri
age, what he was as a lover.
A Massachusetts lady writes: “This
morning early, as I sat by my open
window looking down upon the busy
street, I saw a woman-butcher jump
from her wagon and takd a piece of
corned beef round to the side door of
the residence across the way. How
neat and tidy she looked with a dark
calico dress, blue checked apron and
white over-sleeves which came to her
elbow, with a brown hat and a red
scarf tied carelessly about her neck.
Soon she came out, jumped briskly
into the wagon, took up the lines, at
the same time putting her foot upon
the brake, for it was a down grade,
and drove off like any other butcher.”
-
What a Beauty lOid. —The use of the
“Cachemere shawl” was first intro
duced in Paris by a young Greek, the
wife of a Frenchman. She was very
beautiful, and was the fashion for
several seasons. Her exquisite loveli
ness enhanced tne beauty of the gar
ment, and all the grand dames wrap
ped themselves in what to-day is called
the Indian camel’s hair shawl. — [sun

Cut This Out—lt May Save Your
Life.—There is no person living but
what suffers more or less with Lung
Disease, Coughs, Colds or Consump
tion, yet some would die rather than
pay 75 cents for a bottle of medicine
that would cure them. Dr. A. Bos
chee’s German Syrup has lately been
introduced in this country from Ger
many, and its wondrous cures aston
ishes every one that try it. If you
doubt what we say in print, cut this
out and take it to your druggist—F.
A. Beall and Barrett & Land—and get
a sample bottle for ten cents and try
it, or a regular size for 75 cents.

A Health-Promoting Stimulant.—
Physicians, who certainly ought to be
the best judges of such matters, de
clare that wholesale stimulation is not
only desirable, but essential in many
instances. When the temporary good
effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed
and rendered permanent, as in the case
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by the
action of tonic and alterative princi
ples combined with it, it becomes infi
nitely more efficacious as a renovant
of physical energy and a corrective of
those conditions of the body which
invite disease. The Bitters have re
ceived the emphatic sanction of midical
men who have observed the effect of
that popular stimulative cordial as a
remedy for weakness, nervousness,
dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of
the liver, malarious fevers, and many
other disorders. Its basis is sound old
rye, the purest liquor known to com
merce, and itself possessing tonic
properties of no mean order.

It is said that some people have
what is called “ spontaneity,” and some
havn’t; but nobody ever sat down on a
pincushion yet without manifesting
something surprisingly like it.

Plans of Insurance.

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE
RATES.
Low Premiums—Definite Con
tracts.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Com
pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting
the demand of the insuring public for low
rates, and contracts that can be under
stood by all, offers the
Endowment Life-Rate Policy,
With confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to commend it
to the favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects:
Ist. It provides for those dependent upon
us in the event of death.
2d. It provides for our old age in case
we attain a stipulated age.
The low rate of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable F.rm of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as the usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
‘the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
death il! prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose.
To illustrate the difference betwoen this
plan and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
in all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at age 63, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-live per Cent, to tiie Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan :
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 t. It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should’ be diseontiuued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount pai i in
premiums.
sth. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and if paj ments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could bo earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of Jile : and
7th. By this means it is no longer ngees
sary to ‘ die to won.”

INCREDULIT Y.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that it often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly apolicable to the vir
tues of many' truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
