Drill fiir Single Volunteers.
A young lady furnishes the following,
Which she calls a “drill for single volun
teers.” The evolutions, os will be seen,
ore by no means difficult of execution,
except perhaps the lust two or three. The
young lady is herself evidently an old
soldier, and knows something about tactics.
Here is the “drill:”
Fall In—Love with some amiable and
virtuous young lady.
Attention—l’ay to her assiduously and
respectfully!
Fight Face— Popping the question like
a man, anil She will accept you.
Quick March—To her parents and ask
their consent.
Fours Right—With her and go through
the services of holy matrimony.
Halt—And then reflect seriously for a
few minutes, and then devote yourself en
tirely to your young wife
Right About Face—From the haunts
that you frequented when single and de
vote yourself to your own house.
Advance Arms—To your wife when out
walking together, and don't let her walk
three or four yards behind you.
Break Off—Playing billiards, betting
and staying out late at night if you wish to
have a happy home.
The goods being all marked down cheap, if you
want to pay high prices for your supplies, don't
call at Kayton’s Sew York Stoke.

WOMEN AND WHISKY!
A FROLIC CLOSED WITH A TRAGEDY
PAKTICffLABS OF THE TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
On Saturday morning last tho peaceful
sereuity of the community was disturbed
by the report that a revolting murder had
been committed late the previous night at
the place known as the “Park House” at
Thunderbolt, now kept by Mrs. Catherine
Fognrtv.
The 'Park House is well known to all
visitors at Thunderbolt, having been for
many years the n-sidence of Mr. Jefferson
Hols'rts, being located at the extreme
northern end of tho settlement. In Sep
tember last it was leased by Mrs. Fogarty
as a public house, and is at present occu
pied by her. There have been only a few
regular boarders at the house during the
past two months, and among them was
Thomas McDonald, a young Baltimorean,
who came to Savannah not quite three
months ago, uml being a professional
horse trainer, he was given the control of
the track at Thunderbolt, and the training
of the various horses belonging to our
city horsemen, which were stabled there.
In this position he gave general satisfac
tion, and made himself quite popular in
the neighborhood, being regarded as a
ipiiet, sober and industrious young man.
At night, when occasion required it, lie
bail voluntarily assisted at the bar attached
to the house where he was hoarding, and
it was whilst attending to these duties that
he met a horrible and sudden death. He
was but twenty-three years of age, of
medium size, and rather, genteel and ueut
in appearance.
In connection with this unfortunate oc
eiirrence it is necessary for ns to here in
troduce a young woman by the name of
Lillie Rogers, w ho was entered as a boarder
at this place by a gentleman friend of this
city, three weeks ago. Although no un
usual intimacy existed between this woman
and McDonald, yet, from information fur
nished us by occupants <rf the house, it
would seem they Inal always been on
friendly terms.
The report that there was a ball or en
tertainment given at the house on Friday
night, we ascertained is incorrect—the
frolic whi h took place being entirely im
promptu, as the proprietor, Mrs. Fogarty,
was in the city at the time. It appears
that several parties drove down during
the evening, some taking companions
with them, and among the visitors wore
Charles Delarge. Shortly after their ar
rival Charles DoLarge singled out the
woman. Lillie Rogers, as bis partner, and
was with her a greater portion of the
evening. Both lied been drinking, but it
does not appear that either was greatly in
toxicated, although Lillie Rogers is said to
have been rather exuberant. About half
past eleven o’clock this young woman, ac
cording to our information, went into the
bar-room where McDonald was waiting on
someone, and commenced frisking around
him and occasioning him some annoyance.
He told her to go away, hut she refused
to do so, and became quite violent and in
sulting to him. At last Ids patience was
exhausted and he said “go awav I tell von,
I don’t want to strike a- . ”
A gentleman who was standing by said,
“No, Tom, 1 wouldn't hurt one of the
poor tilings.” or s inrthing to that effect.
Tho opprobrious word, however, seemed
to have completely maddened the already
excited woman, and clenching her hand
she turned upon McDonald and threatened
him. It was stated bv a witness tlmt she
subsequently used the words “I‘li have him
killed or kill him myself.”
Our information is that she then left, the
room. About hull-past twelve she re
j.ppcarod again in company with Charles
DeL.irgo, and commence*! abusing Mc-
Donald, who was then standiug near the
edge of the counter and behind the bar,
stating he had insulted her. DoLarge, it
is alleged, said he would “he and and if I
don’t kill any man who idols with my girl.”
Home oik' standing near regarding this
threat as bravado, it. is stated, sarcastically
remarked, “oh J wouldn’t do that.” when
Lillie Rogers went behind the counter and
snatched up a tumble?. At this moment
there was a genthman standing at the bar
immediately in front of DoLarge. Mc-
Donald was stooping iu an oblique po
sition to get. sornot.hnig, when suddenly,
with an oath, 1). Large sprang forward,
and reaching over the shoulder of the gen
tleman mentioned, dealt, McDonald a ter
rible blow with aknifein the right, temple,
followed quickly by another stab just be
hind and under the left ear. and a wound
in the left arm. It is not known as cer
tainty that Lillie Rogers threw the tum
bler, as wo heard of no one who saw her
do it. but from tin ■ot that the unfortu
nate man had another severe gash on the
right side of the head, some infer that she
did. The deed was accomplished so sud
denly that few saw it, although there
were quite a number in the bar-room.
McDonald was stunned for a moment,
when he rushed from the bar to the door
of the sitting-room, immediately opposite,
about ten feet, the blood spurting from
his wounds in a perfect stream. The door
of the room was shut, and ns the poor
man, blinded by the gore trickling over
his face, struck liis head against it, the
entire panel was blurred with his blood.
He then ran to tho kitchen adjoining,
which he managed to enter, when he fell
from weakness into tho arms of an old
colored man, employed as cook upon the
premises. As he stumbled he cried in a
piteous tone, “Bend for a priest!” and
| then, “Oh ! my poor mother !”
He did not lose consciousness, however,
although lie could scarcely articulate
! above a whisper. He was heard to mut
i ter hoarsely “I am dying,” and extended
to those around his hand and faintly mur
mured “good-bye,” when suddenly all
sound ceased, and a convulsive shudder
(which sent a thrill of awe through the
anxious few around) followed, ad the
young man, just on tlie threshold of life,
lay silent in the cold embrace of death,
his young soul ushered by the unholy
hand of an angry fellow man, unsurn
moned aud unprepared, into the august
presence of the Supreme Being.
Immediately after the commission of the
deed, DeLarge and Lillie Rogers fled from
the scene, but were subsequently arrested
and are now in jail.
At the inquest on Monday last Lillie
lingers confessed to committing the deed,
but says she did it in self-defense. The i
jury returned a verdict “that the said
Thomas McDonald came to his death by
wounds inflicted by sharp instruments,
said instruments being in the hands of
Lillie Rogers and Charles DeLarge, on
the morning of the 6th instant, at Thun
derbolt.”
Charles DeLarge is said to be a native of
Charleston; he is about twenty years of
age, and is of medium size. It is under
stood be has been engaged in a bar-room
on Anderson street, and is rather inclined
to dissipation.
Lillie Rogers is a New York woman,
and has been in Savannah for several
years. She is a very beautiful woman,
and is said to be educated and accom
plished, but as the foregoing will show, of
a rather disreputable character. She is
about thirty years of age.
McDonald's remains were interred on
Sunday.
McMahon’s Duels in 1827.
He was then a straight, tall boy of nine
| teen, with wide blue eyes, light flaxen hair,
i ami a demeanor somewhat solemn and
j thoughtful. Little given to dissipation, he
I preferred riding and the manly sports of
i iiis boyhood to the gambling, hard-drink
ing and frivolous gallantries in which
most of his brother officers indulged j but,
on I,ho other baud, he was a noted ami
skillful duelist. This was one of the ne
cessities of his position. An officer who
went much to court, and had personal
reasons for being attached to tho King,
could not, in those days, stand by indiffer
ent w hile the royal family were assailed by
liberal journalists, and by Bonapartist of
ficers of Napoleon’s old army.
MaeMnhon made a point of attending
the Cafe Valois, in tho street of that, name,
which was then the headquarters of royal
ist officers, and there duels were arranged
almost every night as coolly as pigeon
matches would he in these our modern
times. It was the custom for the liberal
papers to be placed in aheap on tho cen
tral table. At five o’clock officers dropped
in, and at six, when the room was full,
the papers would he read aloud, and if
one of them contained anything offensive
to the King, tho officers would draw lots
among them as to w ho should go and chal
lenge the editor. Important journals were
then generally provided with a responsible
lighting editor, whose solo mission it
w as to accept challenges.
He was generally an old half-pay officer
or sergeant, and now and then it hap
pened that he could not even read. Mue-
Mahon fought seven of these gentlemen
in the course of five years, and it is on
i record that h was never once wounded,
nor did ho ever kill his man. He was
] singularly expert in the art of [linking his
adversary in the fleshy part of the right
I arm, but above the elbow, inflicting a
wound that was not dangerous, but which
obliged his adversary to drop his foil like a
hot coal, and to keep his arm in a sling for
six weeks. This thrust got to be knownaa
“la botto MaeMnhon,” and it. earned the
young officer many oucouiums, for which
he little cured, being iu his heart averse
j to duelling.
A Paris Balloon in Africa. —A curious
story comes to us across the ocean of a
shapeless bundle of rags found recently in a
tree-top in the South African colony of
Natal. It proved to be one of the miss
ing balloons which floated out of Paris
during the seige with a freight of letters
and dispatches—orders from the govern
ment of national defense to its Generals in
the field, and messages of love and cheer,
of sorrow and complaint, from the suffer
ing citizens to their friends outside. If the
government had no better w ay' than this of
reaching its commanders, it. is perhaps not
surprising that the military operations of
France occasionally lacked consistency'. It
has been suggested that tho contents of
this serial mail may have an important
bearing upon the trial of Bazame; but a
question which will interest the public far
more than the purport of the letters is
how tho balloon should have found its
way from France to the southern extrem
ity of Africa. Natal is over 5,000 miles from
Paris in a direction almost due south. \Vt
should like to know what Prof. Wise’s
easterly current was doing while the air
ship made this extraordinary voyage.—

An encounter of a fearful character re
cently took place at Constantinef Algeria,
'between the and Arabs. As a.fin
ish funeral procession passed through one
! of the principal thoroughfares an officer of
tirailleurs insulted the mourners by spit
ting at them, and using obscene language.
Some friends of the mourners becoming en
raged at this unseemly conduct, at
tacked the officer, and eventually threw
him down a fearful precipice more than
100 metres deep. Numerous >- :shed
upon the Jews to avenge thoir countryman,
and a terrible conflict ensued, in which
; several thousand Jews and Arabs took
part. The military were called out, hut
order was not restored till numerous pur-
I tisans on both sides were dead on tin l
