ing, yet found sufficient strength to bite off a
bit Of his opponents chin and to break his
opponents head with the pommel Of his sword.
While this revolving butchery was going on
between these two scoundrels, the seconds
were fighting in another part of the field, and
one was soon laid dead
During the same period, one bright example
was afforded by young De Reuly, the brave
and noble anti-duellist, whom no one could
suspect Of cowardce, but who would not fight I;
not even when pressed and insulted. Once, a
man, who for no quarrel, but for mere brutal
curiosity wished to make him fight, waylaid
him with friend-De Reuly riding alone and
simply accompanied by servant. They set
on him, but the young officer, one of the ex-
pertest swordsmen of his regiment, disarmed
and wounded them both; then took them
home to his quarters, had their wounds dress
ed, gave them some wine, and dismissed them.
Nor did he ever speak of the transaction after
wards, even to the servant who was with him.
No one insulted De Reuly again.
A certain English gentleman who was a
regular frequenter of the green-room of Dru-
ry Lane Theatre in the days of Lord Byron's
committee, and who always stood quietly on
the hearthrug there, with his back to the fire,
was in his usual place one night when mar
rative was related by another gentleman new
ly returned from the continent of barrier
duel that had taken place in Paris. A young
Englishman--a mere boy-had been despoiled
in gaming house in the Palais Royal had
charged certain gaming Count with cheating
him, had gone out with the Count, had wasted
his fire, and had been slain by the Count un-
der the frightful circumstances Of the Counts
walking up to him, laying his hand on his
heart, saying "You are brave fellow-have
you mother2" and on being answered in
the affirmative, he remarked coolly, 81 am
sorry for her" and stepping back, blowed his
victims brains out The gentleman on the
hearthrug paused in taking pinch of snuff to
hear this story, and observed with great pla-
cidity, al am afraid must kill that rascal"
A few nights elapsed, during which the green
room hearthrug was without him, and then he
re-appeared precisely as before, and only incl
dentally mentioned in the course of the even
ing, Gentlemen--I killed that rascal" He
had gore over to Paris on purpose, had track
ed the Count to the same gaming-house, had
thrown glass of wine in his face in the pres
ence of all the company assembled there, had
told him that he was come to avenge his young
compatriot-and had done it by putting the
Count out of this world and coming back to
the hearthrug as if nothing had happended.

DTEL.I.ING.

The most atrocious duel of modern times is
one that took place near New Orleans, between
two Frenchmen--Hippolyte Phrouet and Pau
lin Prue. They were placed back to back, at
five PAGES; at certain signal they turned and
fired-to no effect They then took their sec
opd pistols; but, Prue grasped his so convul-
siyely that it went off in the air. Throuet
paused, covering him with his pistol, the by
ISLANDERS crying "Don't firel For Gods sake
don't fire!" Prue stood, bravely and quietly,
fronting his enemy. After a lapse Of several
minutes, during which every one present had
been wrought up to pitch of nervous frenzy,
Throuet, advancing slowly, with diabolical
laugh, pulled the trigger, and his ball passed
through Prue's heart.
One of the most foolish duels on record, is
that between two dear friends-Sir II. Beas-
es and Tom Porter, as told by gossip Pepys,
which took place in England at Convent Gar
den.
They had no quarrel together, and were only
talking somewhat loudly when a bystander
asked if they were quarreling9
"Nol" said Belases. al would have you
know that never quarrel, but strike; take
that as rule Of mine!"
"Howl" said Tom Porter, "strikeP |
would could see the man in England that
durst give me blow" Whereupon his friend
boxed his ears and the two would have fought
on the spot, had they not been prevented
However, Tom Porter waited for his friend as
he went by in his coach, and bade him come
out and draw. Sir II. Bellases obeyed; and,
after few passes called out to his friend to
fly, for that he was mortally wounded. "Find-
ing himself severely wounded says Pepys,
"he called to Tom Porter, and kissed him, and
bade him shift for himself, for says he, Tom
thou hast hurt me but | will make shift to
stand on my legs till thou may'st withdraw,
and the world not take notice Of thee; for
would not have thee troubled for what thou
hast DONE" But Tom was wounded too,
though not mortally. In few days Sir H.
Bellases died; "a couple of fools that killed
one another out of love-" concludes Pepys.

A HERoINE.-Miss Maria Albertson until n
few weeks since had been earning her living
by working in cotton factory at Lowell, but
wishing to see more of life, she came to this
city for the purpose of taking sea voyage.
She shortly engaged herself as stewardess on
board schooner plying between Boston and
New York. On the first trip she was badly
treated, and left the schooner at New York
She made friends with the captain of a vessel
that lay at the same pier with the schooner,
and he agreed to provide funds for her to go to
Lowell Until her departure, it was arranged
that she should stay with the captains aunt,
and she was accordingly taken to den Of
infamy in Leonard street, where the captain
left her, saying he would come in again. She
soon learned the nature of the trap that had
been prepared for her, and determined to foil
her soi.disant friend and his "aunt." She
attempted to leave the house, but was prevent
ed, and was shown to room which proved to
be provided with secret pannel door Barri
cadng the pannel and the door with the fur
niture, the betrayed girl passed a seepless
night, and in the morning escaped from the
house and stated her case to the police. Funds
were furnished her, and on Wednesday she
started for home. The above facts are con-
densed from the New York Tribune.

PICTURE OF THE HISTORIAN MAcAULEy.-
There is common pedestrian of London
streets well known to all who are acquainted
with their notabilites. He is a short, stout,
sturdy, energetic man. He has big, round
face, and large staring and very bright hazel
eyes His hair is cut short, and his hat flung
back on the crown of his head. His gait is
firm and decided, with little touch Of POM
posty. He is ever provided with an umbrella,
which he swings and Hourishes, and batters on
the pavement with mighty thumps lie seems
generally absorbed in exciting and impulsve
thought, the traces Of which he takes no pains
to conceal His face works, his lips move and
mutter, his eyes CLEAN and flash. Squat as is
his figure, and not particularly fine the features,
there is an unmistakable air of mental power
and energy, approaching to grandeur, about
the man. He is evidently under the influence
of the strong excitement of fiery thought.
People gaze curiously at him, and stop to stare
when he has passed. But he heeds no one
seems, indeed, to have utterly forgotten that
he is not alone in his privacy, and pushes on,
unwilling of the many who stare and smile, or
of the few who step respectfully aside, and
look with curiosity and regard upon Thomas
Darlington Macauley
Occasionally, however, the historian and the
poet gives still freer vent to the mental impul-
ses which appear to be continually working
within him. He was lately recognized, dining
in coffee room of the Trafalger Hotel, at
Greenwich-a fashionable whitc-bait house,
which, it appears he frequently patronizes.
He was alone, as he generally is, and the atten-
ton Of more than one of the company was
attracted by his peculiar muttering and fidget-
mess, and by the mute gestures with which he
ever and anon illustrated his mental dreamngs.
All at once--it must haze been towards the
climax of the prose or verse which he was
working up in his mind, Mr.. Macauley seized
massive decanter, held it moment suspend
ed ir the air, and then dashed it down upon
the table with such hearty good will, that the
solid crystal flew about in fragments while the
numerous parties dining round instnctvciy
started up and stared at the curious cenocast.
Not whit put about, however, Mr.. Macauley,
who was well known to the waters, called
loudly for his bill to be made out at the bar,
and then, pulling, with couple of jerks, his
hat and his umbrella, from the stand, capped
the one carlessly on his head, and strobe out
flourishing the other Such is the man who
has lately been created Baron of England.

have left the pleasant dwelling
Where my childhood's days were spent,
When my heart with hope was swelling
Blest abode of sweet content;
In the wide world now ranger;
Lone and YEARLY roam
Mid the dwellings of the stranger,
Far away from friends and home,
have left thy side, my mother;
shall miss thy blessing now;
/ can never find another
Ever good and true as thou.
shall miss thy pleasant greeting,
Falling sweetly on my ear;
oh my heart is sadly beating,
For have no mother here.
have left thy fond affection,
Sister ever kind and dear;
Thou must pray that Gods protection
May support and guide me here;
shall oft be lone and weary,
And sad thoughts will oftimes come
Life will seem waste most dreary,
Spent away from thee and home.
have left ye all-home-mother-
All that made affection dear;
Thee, my father, and thee, brother,
Sisters kind and friends sincere;
And sometimes fall to dreaming
OF the fond forsaken ties,
And awake with warm tears streaming
From my homeward-turning eyes.
But why weep? For soon returning,
| shall claim my vacant place;
Realize each tender yearning;
Gaze again on each loved face;
Then once more, my dearest mother,
Turning like a weary dove,
All my wayward wand'rings over,
shall rest beneath thy love

HUMBOLDT Won Humboldt is
the King of Science, and without compeer.
His works and achievements are familiar to
all and will form an imperishabe monument
to his unsurpassed fame, through all success
i've generations. Personally, he is an object
of special attractveness. His figure is des-
cribed as not large, but rather stout-his feet
and hands are small and of beautiful form.
His silver-white hair surrounds the venerable
head; he wears on the high, large forehead,
the mark of genius. His eyes are blue, and
notwithstanding his advanced age, are full Of
expression and life His fine-formed lips re-
veal peculiar smile, half sarcastic, half be.
nevolent, full of spiritual supremacy While
speaking. he sits bent forward with his eyes
cast to the ground from time to time he hits
his head, and with friendly smile animates
the listener. He is in the truest sense and
fullest meaning of the word, the best narrator,
and the clearest writer the world knows. An
immense amount of knowledge is always at
his control-hcts, names and figures never es'
cape his memory.

A SMART THIEF.-An intensely laughable
robbery was perpetrated at the Jarrett House,
St. Anthony, on Thursday night, which in
boldness ecpses any similar enterprise Of
modern times. Col II. Wiltse, hearing some
body knocking around in the hall near his
room at an unreasonable hour, and suspecting
it might be some villain who meant co rob him,
rose from his bed, fixed the door of his room
open, got his brace of pistols and prepared
them for "an emergency" then sat down on
the bed to wait for the anticipated scamp to
present himself In this position, he fell asleep I
and while enjoying a perpendicular dream
probably of robber, writhing with bullet
in his thorax,) the ungrateful and inconsider-
ate vagabond aforesaid walked into the room
through the open door, helped himself to a
new dress coat, two pairs Of pantaoons and a
vest pocketed six dollars and fifty cents in
money, deliberately became an accomplice Of
procrastination Qhe thief of time) by stealing
valuable gold watch, took the gold studs out
of the shirt of the sumberer, and reluctantly
departed Mr.. W. awoke just in time to find
his "victimr vamoosed, and himself minus
property to the amount Of 5000 or $500. In
fact. almost everything in the room had "gone
off" except his faithful pistols, which were
firmly grasped in either hand, ready capped
and cooked The funny gentleman with the

MORE EARTHQuAKEs-Las Monday night,
says the San Francisco Spirit Of the Times,
of the oath ult., several severe shocks of earth
quake were experienced in this city. The
first occurred at precisely fifteen minutes and
thirty seconds past six o'clock in the evening,
another soon after midnight, and still another
few minutes past one o'clock. The shock about
one o'clock was in our estimation the strong
est, and in numerous instances, people ran
from their dwellings in dire alarm, and not
particularly choice in their habiliments 1t
was not, however, repeated after the third
shock, and our citizens were allowed to repose
quietly until daylight. In one or two instan-
ces rents were made in the walls of brick
buildings, giving real cause for alarm to the
occupants, who, we learn have determined to
remove without delay The Digger Indians
have tradition that their ancestry were de-
stroyed in immense numbers many years ago

then different from what it now is. Many of
the older Calfornians state that their one sto-

ground by earthquakes in years long past
There is no doubt but'this section of the coun-
