Harris, of Milliken’s Bend, La.,and Dr W.H. Peck, of Madison Parish. the representatives of that locality in the State Legislature. The Bee says: They bad been friends but hed quarrelled in regard to the levee question. On ‘Thnrsday they had come to blows, but had been separated, Ha ris having been tined for a breach of the On Friday, as Harris was standing at the clerk's desk, being about to pay his bill and leave the city, Peck cam® up. A few words were exchzuged and then both parties drew their revolvers Harris tired two shots, neither of which hit the Doctor. Dr Peck tired tive shots. three of which entered the body of his antagonist. One ball entered the breast. a second penetrated the liver, and the third struck the right shoulder, paralysing Harris’ arm, and causing his revolver to drop from his hand. H orris then turned and ran into the wine room near by, where there is a bar, Dr. Peck firing his otber two shots at him, but not hitting him. Har- ris be over the counter and fell full length inside of it, cutting his right eye brow ona tumbler ashe didso. Dr Peck was immediately behind Lim, and jumped over the bar so close that he fell oa top of Harris. Dr. Peck then caught Harris with his left hand and drew his bowie knife with hisright. The knife caught in his suspenders, and one of his fingers was nearly cut in two in his endeavor to draw jt. When he finally got the knife free he intlicted three terrible lunges into Harris’ body. One was in his right abguular, passing completely through the flesh and muscle; another was in his left arm, and the third was in his left side, entering between the fifth and sixth ribs. penetrating the left lung. Several friends of the parties now rushed into the wine room and cried out, “For God’s sake, Doctor, don’t kill him!’ Dr. Peck replied, “If you will take poss:ssion ef him, | will let him g but not otherwise.’’ Two gentlemen then ran be- hind the counter to hold Harris and prevent him from renewing the fight. Dr. Peck rose to his feet, when it was at once observed that Harris was dying. He was carried into his room on the lower floor, and breathed his last In about half an ho. 1 shot in his right side and the stab in his left le Were each mortal wounds, and al- though a physician was called in, no earthly as sistance could avail him then. Tue Sky aN IxpicaTor or THe WeATHER.— The colors of the sky at particular times afford wonderfully good guidance. Not only does a rosy sunset presage fair weather, and a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there are other tints which Speak with equal clearness and accuracy. A bright yel- low sky in the evening indicates wind; a pale yellow, wet; a neutral grey color constitutes a fa- vorable sign in tke evening, an unfavorable one in the morning. The clouds, again, are full of meaning in themselves. Jf their forms are soft. undefined, feathery, the weather will be fine; if the edyes are hard, sharp, detinite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues beto- ken wind or rain; while the more quiet and deli- cate tints bespeak fair weather. ‘These are simple maxims; and yet not so simple but that the Eng- lish Board of Trade bas thought fit to publish them for the use of seafaring men. “Bry Somerni We yesterday witnessed rather an amusing incident on Mainstreet. A stal- wart individual, apparently about ‘half sprung was coming down that thoroughfare, when a gen- tleman, obviously of Jewish extraction, and iden- tified with the clothing interest rang upon him and wanted to know if he wouldn't “ny some- ting.” The six-footer caught him by the collar, and gave him a shake that made him rattle in bis boots. Buy something,”’ he roared, *“d—n you, do I look like a man that would buy something? I have passed here six times a day for tive years. and everytime you see me you ask me to ‘buy someting.’ Curse you. (giving him another shake toat made histeeth chatter.) do you think you will know me next time?’ The crest-fallen clothier looked as if he would. —Cin.
