How to Stop Duelling.

If every State in the Union would but
follow the example of Illinois, the time
would soon come when such tragedies as
that in which Senator Broderick lost his
life would be unknown. The Chicago
Press and Tribune revives the history of
the first duel that was ever fought in that
State. In the year 1920, Alphonso Stew
art and William Bennett fought with RI
aes in St. Clair county, and Stewart fell
wounded on the first fire. Ben
nett made his escape into Arkansas
where he remained two years. His
whereabouts was discovered, be was ar
rested, brought back. indicted, tried, con
victed Of murder and executed. Bond
who was then Governor of Illinois, was
beseiged by the friends Of
Bennett and the advocates of the gen
tlemen's code," who prayed for his par
don. But the Governor turned deaf
ear to all their clamorings, and the ma
jesty Of the offended law was vindicated
Bennett was publicly hung, and dnelling
in Illinois was crushed out. Il is a
bloody practice and requires rigid treat
ment.

Murder Will Out.

The following singular circumstance is
related in a German Journal:
A wealthy tanner, named Kruntz, re
siding in the neighborhood of SIM, in the
Archduchy of Austria, was in the habit of
making journeys several times year to
sell his goods and enter into contracts
for supplies of different kinds. These
rounds generally occupied him about ten
daysor fortnight. On the morning Of
the 18th of October last he started as
usual, but in the same night his wife and
son were surprised at hearing his cabrio
let come up to the door, and their sur
prise was changed to horror on finding
in the vehicle the lifeless body Of the tan
ner weltering in his blood. The horse.
finding himself at liberty, had returned
home. The authorities made inquiries.
but without leading to the discovery of
the murderer. the tanner had with him

a young man about 25 years Of age, took
on himself the management OF the bust
ness, and like his father made the usual
journeys. About fortnight ago, in pass
ing near a roadside public Louise, at the
door of which the landlord was sitting,
smoking his pipe, the same dog which
had been in the habit Of accompanying
the father, and which was running along
quietly by the side of the vehicle, began
to bark in the most furious manner. and
rushed towards the house. The man,
seeing its approach, ran il and closed
the door, while the dog kept bowling al d
barking most violently. A suspicion i'm
mediately entered the mind of the young
man, but instead of showing what he felt
by any movement which might have been
observed by the inmate Of the house, he
fastened the dog under the cabriolet, and
driving to the nearest town gave intor
nation to the authorities, Some police
officers were Immediately sent 10 the
house, and in it were found the empty
money bag of the tanner, his watch and
his poke; book The landlord and his
wife were Immediately arrested and will
be tried for the crime.

For What is a Mother Responsible


She is responsible for the rearing and
nursing of her progeny; for their physi.
cal constitution and growth; their exer
else and proper sustenance in early life.
A child left to grow up deforlned or mea
gre, is an object of maternal negligence.
She is responsible for a chi'd's habits,
including cleanliness, order, converse
ton, eating, sleeping, and general pro-
priety of behavior. A child deficient, or
untaught in these particulars, will prove
living monument to parental disregard
because, generally speaking, mother
can, if she will, greatly control children
in these matters.
She is responsible for their deport
ment. She can make them fearful and
cringing; she can make them modest or
impertinent; ingenious or deceitful; mean
or manly, clownsh or polite. The germ
of all these thihssilp'sese v SD, and
a mother can rep. Is or bring them
forth.
She is responsible for the principles
which her children entertain in early
life. For her it is to say whether those
who 60 forth from her ire-side, shall be
imbued with sentiments of virtue, truth,
honor, honesty, temperance, industry, be-
nevolence, and morality, or those of a
contrary character-vice, fraud, drunk
enness, idleness, covetousness- These
will be found to be of the most natural
growth; but on her is devolved the dali
ly, hourly task Of wedding her little gar
den, of graduating those odious produc-
tons, and planting the human heart with
the lilly, the rose, and the amaranth,
that fadeess flower, emblem Of truth.
She is, to a very considerable extent,
responsible tor the temper and disposi-
lion of her children. Constitutionally,
they may be violent, irritable revenge
full, but Tor the regulass6Tsb Correction
of these passions, motheris responsible,
as much as for the intellectual acquire
