A SAVAGE DUEL.
FIGHT BETWEEN TWO OCTLAXS IN THE SCOTHWEST.
The Texas Civilian publishes an account
of a savage fight Boutrauco, between a c»U
lie driver from named Joe B ; gger,
and Watrouß, a gambler, which oeoured in
the Indian Territory. The Civilian says ;
The Texas party were reluming home with
the proceeds of their cattle sales, when the
gamblers rode into camp, and a game of
cards was proposed. The gamblers were
detected in an attempt to cheat, and a row
ensued, when it was decided that Bigger
aud Watrous should fight on horse back
with bewie-knives. They were divested
of their coals and shirts, and knives were
bound to their right hands.
They were placed sixty yards apart,
with orders to ride at each other at full
speed, passing ou the left side. Botli were
splendid horemen. Bigger was mounted
ou a clean-limed, firery pony, a little over
fourteen bands high, while VYatrous rode a
‘watcheyed’ vicious roan*
Six rounds were fought, resulting in des**
perate wounds on both horses and men.
At the seventh round both horses came
together with a shock, the pony being
thrown, falling upon his rider ; but both
regained themselves* Watrous’ horse was
fast bleeding to death from the slab in.the
neck, and Watrous himself could scarcely
keep his seat from the wotmd in thigh.
Bigger succeeded in again stabbiu Wa
trous in tbe thigh aud was struck in turn
in the side.
The fight lasted more than half on hour
when the final round took place. As they
came together Watrous endeavored to rise
in his stirrups tyid to throw himself upon
Bigger, but neither horse could Stand the
encounter, and both fell. Bigger was
streaming in gore from the cuts in the face
back and arm«, but was able to extricate
himself and rush upon Watrous, who could
not rise on occount of the woun.is in the
thigh. Bigger threw himself upon Watroua
with the fury of a fiend, and almost iu a
moment his knife was buried in the nnfers
tunate gamblers heart. Bradford a
gamble, seeing the fate of his friend, raised
his pistol, fired, and Bigger fell dead across
the corps of Watrous.
A free fight then ensued, resulting in the
death of Bradford, aud the Won tiding of two
Texans, who, however, are likely to recover.
We have read of nothing morfe utterly savs
age thau this since the horrible knife duel
between Bowie and the French planter on
the Red river.
MARK TWAIN’s WAR MAP.
Mark Tw aiflhijjjnat completed a war
map, and amiouuceu it/with the following
ttaiimouials: “It is the only map the
kind I ever saw ” —U, S. Grant, “ It pla
ces the situation in an entirely new light.
Bismarck. I can cot look upou it without
sheding tears*” Brigham Young, It is
very nice, large print.”—Napoleon. “My
wife was for years afflicted with freckles
and, thongh every thing was done for her
relief that could be done, all was iu rain.
But, sir, siace her first glance at your map,
they have entirely left her She has nothing
but convulsions now*”—J. Smith. If I
had had this map, I could have got out or
Metz without any trouble.” —Bazaine, “I
have seen a great many maps iu my time
but none that this one reminds me of.”—
Trochu. “It is but fair to say that in some
respects, it is a truly map*”—-

The Triumphs of peace* —The credit of
the two greatest achiev nen*s of modern en
gineering, the Suez canal and the Mont
Ceuis tunnel, belong to French science and
enterprise. Such wonderful victories of
peace may well, in some degree, Couaole
F.ance in the midst of her disasters of
war. The boldness of the French eugu
neeriug genius in grappling with the most
apparently insurmountable puysiccsl obsta
cles is something remarkable. It was an
old French officer , Col. Crozrt, who cou
structed the great Blue Ridge tonnel of
