HEALTH OF GEN ScoTr. We regret to hear
from Washington that the health of Gen. Scott

that he now finds it difficult to attend to bus-
ness for more than two hours at a time, with.
out refreshing himself by sleep. He is unable
to walk or ride to any considerable distance,

How to StOp Dnaling.

FROM book entitled "Duels and Dueling."
The following extract is taken:
Inc Duke OF Brlssac adopted a strange but
successful device in putting down duellinp in
MS regiment. He pretended to countenance
the proceeding, hut requested that his officers.
before hghtIng. which they did almost every
DAY, would report the circumstance to him
lhey agreed TO this joyfully. Next day two
made their appearance. The duke inquired
the cause of quarrel. As usual, it was a nere
matter OF foolish contradiction.
certainly 1t is worth while fighting for such
mauer' observed the duke. And he gave
them their congo.
Inc next morning, at parade. the two officers
were present.
"What" said the duke; "the affair had no
results thcn!"
" Excuse me, colonel" said one, holding up
wound"
3" Pooh a scratch. And a question of eli.
quette, too ! You must fight it out"
80 the officers had to fight again, and one
OF them received a wound that kept him con.
hned three weeks to his bed. In the interval.
several others applied for permission to 6ghl,
Out TIE duke would not grant it; they must
wait he sad Til the first quarrel was settled.
Ohe DAY he met the wounded officer taking
Iresh air, and leaning on the arm of a friend,
What" he said; "On foot again! Cspi.
tai! Tomorrow you can fight again, and let
this flair be fnshed with"
The IwO officers met again, and both fell
de65. The duk' then summoned before him
those who had requested permission TO fight.
and sald he would grant them their wish, but
IL must De onI! two at time, and in each
case he was dcte-mined TO see the quarrel set
ted az IN The Instsnce that has lust occurred.
The lesson had its effect The duke received
no more requests for permission TO fight.

A DEMOCRAT ON THE WAs.-Judge Willard,
of Saratoga Springs, writes as follows to a
Democratic friend
"All experience shows that when the liber-
ty and honor of nation are at stake, the great
masses duly appreciate the services of those
who stand by their country, and they will nev-
er forget to forgive those who, at such period,
are Iimid or lukewarm.
The only way to bring the struggle TO sue
cessful close is, by the most energetic action.
The time for argument has passed, ConcIiu-
ton has been tried without success and it must
be tried no longer. We are in the midst Of

neat appearance to the eye, we sprInkled over
