series of concerts, upon which he calculated
establishing in the French capital the high
reputation he had gained in the course Of

NJ. Julien was conveyed to a private lunatic
asylum, having exhibited the worst phases Of
madness. There are no particulars Of his

some severe course Of antiphlogistic treat

WAsHISeroS, April l2-Soon after the
colloquy in the House yesterday between
Messrs. Potter and Pryor, Mr.. Hindman called
Mr., Potter out of the House on behalf of Mr..
Pryor and it is believed delivered message
to 90 outside of the District. When this fact
became known, various friends volunteered
their services, but he had consulted none up
to the time the House adjourned, and after
ward went to his private residence to avoid
arrest. s.,
The general feeling among the Republicans
is adverse to Potters accepting any cnal-
lenge for duel. -
Potter and Pryor, it is now believed have
gone out to fight duel, as neither Of them
were at home last night and they are not in
their seats to-day.
IA portion of the dispatch in regard to the
difficulty between Potter and Pryor has been
omitted. The following refers, no doubt, to
the arrangement of the duel.--REP.]
II is stated that the distance was fixed at
one hundred and fifty feet, but to this or the
description of weapons, probable the latter,
the friends of Pryor objected. Rumor says
that thereupon Mr.. Potter offered the choice
of sbotted-nuskets or bowie-knives; and here
the matter rests. The reports are so numer-
GUS and contradictory that nothing can be
stated with confidence as to accuracy. The
affair creates intense interest throughout the
city, and some of the rumors are so extrav'
agant in their details as to warrant the sus-
picion of having been invented to satisfy, in
mart. at least an excessive appetite for the
| latest intelligence. 1t is generally conceded
however, that there has not been as yet hos
| tile meeting.
Mr.. Hindeman has left for home. Hi
friendly Offices for Mr.. Pryor were confined
merely to the initiatory proceedings

The Death of Mrs. JRmesOn-The Beanty
and Severity Of her Life.

The death of Mrs. Jameson is great loss
to the literature of the arts, but greater still
to the many friends of this most exemplary,
intelligent, and genial lady. Few OF the
public knew under what circumstances
Mrs. Jameson's works were produced-at
what cost of ill-remunerated but most con-
scientious labor-and on what holy and self
sacrificing purposes the proceeds of that
labor were employed. For many, many years,
Mrs. Jameson was the almost sole support OF
her mother and her sisters, and ofasister's child
besides. No one ever bore heavier load OF
selfimposed obligations, or carried that load
more uncomplainingly. She moved under 1t
as If she never felt it.
But it was very heavy for all that, and it
has broken her down ut last. Her almost
incessant labor during the latter years of her
life, was lightened by an annuity OF tlOO, lin
addition TO pension of the same amount.
which annuity she owed to the determined
kindness of her friend, Mrs. Proctor, (wife O.
that sweetest of singers and kindest Of men
better known to the world by his nom de plume
of Barry Cornwall who raised the sum re-
quired for the purchase Of this annuity by
| her own unaided efforts from among Mrs
Jamieson's friends, and presented it TO thu
unsuspecting and astonished donee as birth
day gift. II is well that such acts should b
known, especially when done so unostenta
tiously and dbrayely.-London Daily Ne'Os.
