Plum CREEK.
Great preparations were made by the
hospitable cltizeps of Plum Creek neigh.
borhood. to give a big dinner on the 9Th
of July. The pleasures of the yday
we're. however, marred by the heavy
wind and rain, which very unfortunately
sprung just about dinner time. We do
not know that much damage was done
to the eatibles, but the rain must have
dampened their spirits very much and
precluded the probability Of any further
enjoyment.
The nationality of the people tfor it
was understood that the dinner was nivep
in honor Of the Fourth J could not be
allowed 70 exhibit itself without inter.
ruption, and the thrusting Of Douglas
and Breckenridge upon the assembled
company was altogether impertinent.

Duel Between Abe Lincoln and Gen
Shields,

The Chicago Press and Tribune relates
the following anecdote Of Abe Lincoln and
Gen. Shields:
A great deal OF fun was had by the
jokers in Springfield, about an affair
which long time ago, our good friend
Lincoln, the candidate for President was
engaged. A young lady Of that city, now
the wife of a distinguished statesman,
wrote paragraph in a burlesque vein for
the Sangamon Journal, in which Gener-
al Shields was good humoredly ridiculed
for his connection with some public mea.
sures. The General was greatly incens.
ed and demanded Of the editor the name
OF the offending party.
"Old Sim" put him of with request
for twenty five hours to consider the mat
ter, and shortly afterwards meeting Lin.
coin, told him his perplexity. "Tell him
| wrote it!'' said Lincoln; and tell him he
did. After deal Of diplomacy to get
the retraction of the offensive parts Of the
paragraph in question, Shields sent a
challenge which Lincoln accepted, named
broad.swords as the weapon, and an un-
frequenled, well wooded island in the
Mississippi just below Alton, as the
place.
"Cld Abe" was first on the ground, ,and
when Shields arrived lie found his antago.
mist with sword in one hand and hatch
ct in the other, with his coat off; clearing
away the underbrush! Before the pre-
liminary arrangements were completed,
John j. Hardin, who, somehow. had got
wind of what was aaoat, appeared on the
scene, called them both id fools, and
by bis arguments, addressed to their COM
mon sense; and by his ridicule of the fig
ures that they. two wei! grown, bearded
men. were making there, each with frog
stcker in bis hand, broke up the fight
We do not know how general Shields feels,
but we have heard Lincoln saying that
the acceptance of that challenge was the
lneanest thing he ever did in his life
Hardin, than whom a braver man never
stood, never came out of that terrible
charge at Buena Vista. to which he led
.he cd regiment Of the Illinois Volunteers.
If the events of his life passed in quick
review before his mind as he lay wound.
ed and dying in that fatal ravine, we
doubt net this act Of bis, by which ht
prevented two really brave men from
engaging in fatal gstrife. was not the
least Of the consultations of that bittel
hour.
