some would smile, and some TO whom they would

DUELLING,

The death Of George c. Dromgoole, of Vr-
ginia, occasioned deep regret among large cir
Gle Of friends.
| We knew him in other days. lie was no or
dinary man. His mind was unusually clear and
strong, and, had no adverse circumstances occur
red, he would have been an ornament TO society,
and an honor TO the nation.
! But it was in private life he charmed So
simple, SO kind, soruel We neverkncw amore
generous man; he was solely disinteresIed. and
knew how to sacrifice self with a grace which
won him the love Of friends, and the respect of
acquaintanceS
In an evil hour he was tempted, acting upon
false notions of honor, TO peril his life and the
! life Of another His antagonist fell. From that
hour he was an altered man, he knew no peace;
and to drown The bitter thought that he was a
murderer, he sulled his soul still deeper in crime
by drinking to excess! And in early life no was
taken from us, dcbased and selfblighted man!
Yet how Ike him was the last act Of his life

| pers without comment, and glanced at by the reu-
der, possibly without thought, tells, at once, the
rectitude of his intentions, and his own estima-
ton of the depth of his crime.
George c. Dromgooe. in his will, gave all
his property to the children Of the individual who
fell by his hand in a duel"
1t has fallen to our lot, in days when we tho't
dueIIing no sin, if we could have been said TO
have thought about it at all, 10 meet with many,
we know we'll some, who had killed their men.
We never knew one who lived in peace after the
murder; we know only two whosurvive, and they
are sots.
The first time we were called upon to witness
duel was in Augusta Georgia in 1929. We
were just entering manhood. The,parties were
from our naliveState. We knew them both we'll.
They were stationed at their places, and at the
word fire, the elder of the two, fell dead. We
saw him--saw his brother who gazed wildly into
his pale face, just now so full of Iife--saw friends
as they hurriedy took up his body, and bore him
onward to his home. And we saw afterwards
the gray haired father, as he bent over the body,
hot tears falling down his cheeks, fall as one
struck with the Palsey, for his prop, the boy OF
his hopes, was taken away, and there was no
longer happiness for him on earth!
But the survivor! Business relations brought
us together; we were his attorney; and we had
to see him at his home, and our house. In COM
pany, we saw no change in him; he was light
hearted almost lrocsome in his gayely. He
never spoke Of the murder; by an unutlered and
wel-understood compact, (and how terribly did
this describe the deed) none ever referred to it.
Soon after we found that he was fast becoming a
drunkard, and scarce three years had passed since

SPECULATION IN WHISPERS:
Or, NAarlng IN a Brokers Shop.
BY SOL SMITH.

There lived in MiIIedgve in 1889. dandif-
ed individual whom we will call jerks. This
individual had toIcrably favorable opinion Of
his personal appearance. His fingers were hoop
ed with rings. and his shirt bosom was decked
with a magnificent breast pin; coat, hat vest and
boots were made exactly to fit; hewore kid gloves
of remarkable whiteness; his hair was oiled and
dressed in the latest and best style; and TO rom
pIete his killing appearance, he sporred an enor-
nous pair Of REAL WHISPERS. OF these whs-
kers, jerks was as proud as a young cat with her
tail, when she first discovers she has one.
! was sitting one day in brokers Office, when
jerks came in to enquire the price of exchange
on New York. He was invited 10 sit down, and
a cigar was offered him. Conversation turning
on the subject of buying and selling stock, re-
mark was made by gentleman present, that he
thought no person should sell out stock in such
and.such bank al that time, as must get better
in a few days.
81 will sell anything I've got, if can make
any thing on it," remarked jerks.
"Oh no." replied one, mot anything; you
wouldn't sell your whiskcrs"
A loud laugh followed this chance remark.
jerks Immediately answered, Il wouId-but
who would want lheml Any person making the
purchase would lose money by it I'm thinking"
"Well," observed, 81 would be willing 10
take the speculation, if the price could be made
reasonable"
"Oh, I'll sell 'em cheap" answered jerks,
winking at the gentlemen present.
"What do you call cheap!" inquired.
"l'll sell them for fifty dollars" jerks an
swered, putting forth cloud of smoke across the
counter and reDeatnu The wish.
well, that's cheap; and you'lsc your whs-
kers for fifty doIIars!"
81 will"
"Both of them?"
"Both Of them"
"I'II take them. When can have them"
"Any time you choose 10 call for thcm.'
"Very well--rhey're mine. ] think shall
double my money on them at least"
took bill of sale as follows:
Received of Sol Smith fifty dollars in full for
my crop Of whskers, to be worn and taken care
of by me, and delivered 10 him when called for.

The sum Of fifty dollars was paid, and jerks
left the brokers office in high gee, flourishing FIVE
Central Bank KS and telling his acquainrances of
The great bargain he had made in the sale of his
whSkers.
The broker and his friend laughed at me for
being taken in so nicely. Never mind" said
|, "let those laugh that win l'll profit out
of those whiskers, depend upon it,"
For month after this, whenever met jerks
