THE DUEL BETWEEN EDIToRs.-It ap-
pears that the duel between Ben Lane Posey
and another Alabama editor, which, upon
the authority of the Augusta Dispatch, we
announced as having taken place, did not
come off, after all. The Montgomery Ad-
rertiser of the 9th instant says:
"Alas, what perils do environ ~
The man who NEEDLES with cold iron.'
"She duel did not come off, The parties
were all on the ground-Mr. Posey sent his
challenge. Mr.. Reid accepted, to fight with
Mississippi rifles, at thirty PAGES. Mr.. Possy
declined to fight with rifles, and was there.
upon notified that Mr.. Reid and his friend
would be on the ground at 6 A. NJ, on
Thursday, the 9Th instant, with rifles, to
give him the redress he had demanded, and
that failing to appear, they would feel dis
charged from any further obligation to re-
main. They had previously refused to re-
ceive any further communication from him.
They went to the ground, waited one hour,
and returned. Mr.. Posey attempted to re.
open negotiations they refused to notice
any communication from him, and returned
by the morning train from West Point So
ends the contemplated tragedy"

g Masonit Stotg.
THE MASON'S WIFE.

In 1880, having arrived at years of man
hood, without fortune or other appliances
promising successful competition with busl.
ness men in my native State, [ determined
to turn my thoughts towards the tar westand
south, as furnishing more appropriate field
for young and enterprising men, who might
possess the strength and courage to withstand
the hardships and tolls incident to a pioneer
life. Upon a conference with three other
Young men in similar circumstances, we de
termined to wend our way to the wilds of
Texas, and Immediately set about preparing
for our journey for that then foreign land !;
for Texas twenty years ago, was thought to
be long ways from Louisville.
We met at Louisville on the first day of
Jnlv. where we were detained some three
days waiting for boat. On the evening Of
the third day, small, light craft made her
appearance, bound for New Orleans: and
knowing the larger class of boats could not
then navigate the Ohio, we lost no time in
securing berths. Though small and uncom-
Portable, the boat was very much crowded
with cabin and deck passengers, bound 1or
different points on the Ohio and Mississippi,

CURE FOR CANCERS.

Our attention has been recently called to
a cure for cancers, which is of so much i'm
portance, that we wish to make it known as
widely as possible. Some eight months ago,
Mr.. T. B. Mason-who keeps music store
on Wisconsin street and is brother of the
well known Lowell Mason-ascertained that
he had cancer on his face, of the size of a
pea. 1t was cut out by DR.. Wolcott and the
wound partially healed. Subsequently it
grew again, and while he was in Cincinnati
on business it attained the size of hockory
nut He has remained there since Christ
mas under the treatment and has come back
perfectly cured. The process is this:
A piece Of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with circular piece cut out of
the cancer little larger than the cancer, so
that the cancer and small circular rim of
healthy skin next to it was exposed. Then a
plaster made of cloride of zirc, bloodroot
and wheat flower was spread on piece Of
muslin of the size of this circular opening,
and applied to the cancer for "a hours. On
removing it the cancer will be found to be
burnt into, and appear of the color and
hardness of an old shoe sole, and the circu-
lar rim outside of it will appear white and
parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, and the outside rim
soon separates and the cancer comes out a
hard lump, and the place heals up. The
plaster kills the cancer so that it sloughs out
like dead flesh, and never grows again.
This remedy was discovered by DR.. Fell,
of London, and has been used by him for
six or eight years, with uufailing success,
and not case has been known of the re-
appearance of the cancer, where thisremedy
has been applied. 1t has the sanction Of
the most eminent physicians and surgeons Of
London, but has not, till recently, been used
in this country, and many of the faculty,
with their proverbial opposition to innova-
tions, look upon it with distrust.
We saw Mr.. Mason at church yesterday,
and have since conversed with him and took
particular notice of the cicatrized wound and
we can only say, that if the cure is perman-
ent-and from the evidence of six or eight
years experience in other cases, we have nc
doubt it is-the remedy ought to be univer.
sally known. We have referred to this case,
because Mr.. Mason is we'll known both here
and at the East. The experiment excited
much interest in Cincinnati, and we call
the attention of the faculty in this State to
the remedy. If it is what is claimed for it,
this terrible disease will be shorn of most Of
its terrors. The application is painful, but
the pain is of comparatively brief duration,
which any one so afflicted would cheerfully
endure. -Mlwaukee Free Democrt

successfully, minister to England and Sec
retary of State.
1t was remarkable body which included
these men. Very few of the members sur
vive, and of the whole list President Buch-
anan is the only one now in public life, ex-
cepting General Houston. Mr.. Buchanan
was, however, a man of mark then. Gen.
Houston was only known for some eccentri-
cities, which soon after made him notorious,
if not famous and his titles to distinction,
whatever they are, were earned on another
field than in the councils or service of the
United States.
In looking over the list of members Of
this Congress, as published in Niles Regis
ter of December, 1925, we notice curious
circumstance. The list contains the full
names of every member Of the House of
Representatives but one. There was a new
member from Tennessee, whose christian
name could not be found out by the compi-
ler; and so he put him down thus s:--Polk.
Twenty years afterwards, this obscure gen.
tleman, of whose identity there was so much
question in 1925, was elected President Of
the United States.

WONDERFUL GROWTH OF KANSAS CI-
T1Es.-A Kansas correspondent, in allusion
to the rapid growth of Kansas, says:-
"The growth of Western Cities has al
ways been quoted as something marvellous,
and this one of Lcavenworth will not fall be-
hind the most marvellous accounts of their
progress Less than four years ago not
building was to be seen on the spot where
now resides at least eight thousand people.
In the space of three years and half it has
grown up to its present proportions, and is
still increasing rapidly. Two daily papers
and three weeklies are publishedin this city.
The various printing Offices are overrun with
job work, and business generally is prosper
GUS. In addition to the progress in the news
paper line, the citizens are preparing for the
introduction of water into their city, and al
so intend lighting it with gas. A great deal
of activity is apparent, arising from the pre-
parations being made here for the Utah Ex.
pedition.

TEE CRAIG AND Heller DIFFICULTY
The Washington Star gives the following
particulars of this affair, which we noticed
in our last issue:
After the adjournment of the House of
Representatives to-day, the members gener-
ally remained some time in their seats, en-
gagged in conversation. The rules were of
course not then enforced, and several per-
sons strolled in to converse with members,
or crafty their curiosity. One of these, Mr..
Heller, alias Helper, author of the work
called "The Impending Crisis" took seat
next to that of Hon. Burton Craige of North
Carolina, and commenced an animated con-
versation with him in relation to an expose
made of his (Mr H's) character in the Sen
ate, few days ago, by Senator Biggs.
That expose was called out by a Northern
member having quoted from Helfer's book
something concerning social life at the
South, and Senator Biggs in reply read a
long account of Helfer's conduct while a
resident of Salisbury, North Carolina, in the
course of which he accused him of dishon.
esty. Heller erdeavored to ascertain who
had thus 'posted" Mr.. Biggs, and as Mr..
Craige came from that district, he approach
ed him under the conviction that he was the
informant.
His language assumed very abusive char
acter, when Mr.. G. pushed him away and
refused to converse any longer. Upon this,
Heller struck Craige, when the latter caught
him and threw him over his desk, and would
probably have handled him severely but for
the interference of others.
On being released, Heller renewed his a.
busive language, when he was taken in Gus
tody by George Thomas, Esq, one of the
Assistant Door.keepers, who delivered him
over to Mr.. Glosbreuner, Sergeant-at-Arms,
and he was placed in the guard house.
Subsequently, Justice Arnold held a pre-
liminary examination, which terminated in
releasing the prisoner under $500 bail, Hon.
J. P. Hale having become his security. On
Helfer's person were found revolver, Of
Colts improved patent, and handsome
Bowie knife. These are still retained by the
magistrate.
His purpose was no doubt to court an at,
tack by Mr.. G. and then use his weapons;
but the strength and activity Of his oppo'
nent prevented his carrying out that design.

HARD TIMES INDEED.-Lately in Glas.
gov, worthy old woman was laid upon her
bed, sick and faint. She had been long
troubled with predictions for strong waters,
and many schemes and plans did she try to
obtain small drop of these comforts. As
last and desperate resource she sent her
wee lassie to the public house with her bible
and sundry explanations. The lassie came
back as she went. 'Hech, sirs,' exclaimed
the worthy old woman, it's fearful times
when they neither take my word nor the
word of God for two gills of whiskey."

CONGRESS THIRTY YEARS AGO

''OeueIdl Sdiu. IlUuotOu 10 pdiu W ue Lue
only member of the present Congress who
was also member thirty-fve years ago, when
Edward Everett formed one of the three
hundred constituting that body"
There are some slight inaccuracies in this
statement, (says the New Orleans Picayune,)
although not material. The Congress, in
which General Houston and Mr.. Everett
were members together, was that of 1851,
more than thirty years ago, but not thirty
five; and the whole number of members
was 261, and not 300 1t is of that Con-
gress, that General Houston was the only
member who is member of this Congress
But he is far from being the only surviving
member, and there is at least one member of
this Congress who was in Congress long pre-
vious to 1925. Mr.. Crittenden, the vener-
able Senator from Kentucky, was in the
Senate in 1917, more than forty years ago..
Houston left Congress in 1927, and did not
come back till 1916, having been not only
out of Congress, but for the most part out
of the Union, brought back, if all accounts
of his anti.annexation coquetry with Eng
land be true, rather against his own will.
That Congress contained a great many
men who have since acquired great reputa-
tions, and occupied the highest positions in
the country. Four of its members
Buren, Harrison, Polk and Buchanan-have
since been elected President. Two-Rich-
ard NJ. johnson and VIM. R. King-have
been Vice Presidents. The presiding officer
of the Senate was John C. Calhoun, then
In the zenith of his popularity and the high
est vigor of his intellect. The eccentric
Randolph occupied the seat which, at the
close of the term, was filled by John Tyler,
afterwards President. Daniel Webster was
in the House, and Hugh L. White in the
Senate-men whom large masses of devo-
ted friends unavailingly strove to elect to the
Presidency. Benton, then giant among
orators and statesmen, was in the Senate;
so was Hayne, of South Carolina, who died
SO young, and so deeply lamented Forsyth,
who never had superiora debater in the
Senate, afterwards Secretary of State and
Minister to Spain Louis McLane, who be-
came, successively, Secretary Of State and
of the Treasury, and Minister to England;
Levi Woodbury., afterwards Secretary of the
Navy, of the Treasury, and Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
In the House, besides McDufieand Ham
ilton, and Phillip P. Barbour-men who
have left great regulations sunconnected with
public station-there were Edward Living
stone, of Louisiana, Secretary of State and
minister to France; William c. Rives, of
Virginia, also minister to Fronce ; Andrew
Stevenson, of Virginia, minister to England;
and, though we name him last, not the least
conspicuous there, Mr.. Everett himself,
whose name had already become widely
known for ripe scholarship, and who became,

SOUTHERN CoNGREssMEN.-The Journal
Of Commerce, in "photographi, view" of
the members of the Senate, says of our own
Senators
Hammond, of S. c., is now rising star
in the Southern hemisphere. In the true
spirit and genius of Calhoun and Lowndes,
he last week condensed volumes into an hours
speech on the Kansas question, throwing light
even on that threadbare theme, and setting
til lenytty Seward good example. 1t is
astonishing how much brilliant talent comes
out of the "benighted" South. She sends
and keeps her best men here, and thus will
ever be intellectually, if not numerically,
strong on this national theatre.
His colleague, Judge Evans, isa different
sort of man, less brilliant and effective, but
calm, judicial, full of amenity, sedate as a
minister, and highly respected in the Senate.

A YOUNG GIRL IN A TRANCE FORTY
EIGHT HoURs.-About 10 o'clock last
Thursday night, young girl named Isabella
Ellison, aged 10, residing in Washington
street, Poughkeepsie, while at the altar in
Methodist church, in that city, suddenly
lifted up her hands, and fell backward ap-
pearently corpse. Several members of the
church Immediately ran to her assistance,
and raised her up, when, to their horror,
they found that her eyes were glazed and set,
her features pale as marble, lips colorless, her
feet and hands cold; and the spectators
thought that they were gazing upon the
features of a corpse. It was shortly dis
covered that she yet breathed, when she
was conveyed to her residence, the preacher
saying that she was in trance, and when a
member advised that medical assistance
should be procured, the preacher objected,
saying that Jesus Christ had thrown her
into this mysterious state, and He will, at
His own time, raise her to testify to his good
ness. She remained in this state until Sat-
urday evening, excepting slight incident
which occurred on Friday afternoon, when
she suddenly lifted up her hand, and made
three or four efforts to clutch at something,
when the arm fell back over the headboard
of the bed. Two or three of the women who
were in the house attempted to place the
arm upon the bed, but were unable to bend
or move it. On Saturday evening, num-
Der of the members were in the house, sing
ing her favorite hymn, when she suddenly
lifted up her hands, and cried out, "Glory,
Hallelujahw She then turned to one of her
friends, and calling her by name, said, Gre
pent, repent! Oh, if you had seen what I
have you would not live another moment in
your sins, but would pray to God to have

A SPEECH IN OLD T1MEs.-They were
not given to much speaking in Revolutions
ry days. What was said was brief and to
the point, as the reader of Col. Cleveland's
address to his men going into action at
Kings Mountain will see: .s ...
"My brave fellows" said the gallant old
North Carolinian, "we have beat the Tories,
and we can beat them. They are all cow.
ards. If they had the spirit of men they
would join with their fellow citizens in sup.
porting the independence of their country.
When engaged, you are not to wait for the
wordof commanffrom me. I will show you
by my example how to fight. I can UNDER
take no more. Every man must consider
himself as an officer, and act from his own
judgment. Fire as quick as you can, and
stand your ground as long as you can
When you can do no better, get behind trees
or retreat; but I beg of you not to run quite.
If we are repulsed, let US make point to
return and renew the fight. Perhaps you
may have better luck IN the second attempt
than the first. If any Of you are afraid,
such have leave to retire, and they are re-.
quested, Immediately, to take themselves off,"

oldest of the family should have died with
in few hours of each other under the same
