DUEL.-The Idaho Union Of August 4th
gives the following notice of duel between
Henry c. Street, formerly of this place, and
a man named Mcconnell
w. J. Mcconnell ex-Deputv United
States Marshal, challenges Ii. G.. Street, ed
itor Of the Idaho World for the satisfaction
due one gentleman from another. The cause
of the challenge was, we believe, some refec
tons made by the latter in the last number
of the World against the character of the
former. Street accented the challenge, nam
ed derringers as the weapons and the dis,
tance sixty feet Early on Thursday morn
ing both parties repaired, with the usual
number of friends, to the spot selected. on
Moore's Creek, below the Warm Springs
The choice If position and word was won by
the second of Street. Both parties were said
to be collected and cool, and showed no fut.
tering or faintheartedness. At the word
from the second the principals wheeled and
fired. Neither party was hit. Mcconnell
passed his pistol to his second for reloading,
and Street signifed his willingness to accom-
modate him with another shot. The seconds,
however, came to some understanding, and
concluded that the honor of both gentlemen
was fully satisfied.

"SNAIKl SNAIK"-Old Judge Piizer, of
Virginia City. has been carrying Copper
head snaiki around with him for several
years We all know Pitz-don't do? y
Yes 1t isn't one of them wild ones that
gets into the boots and the other day, while
the Judge was teiegrapbing to Gov. Beebee
Zone of Jimmy. Buchanan's bovsl about at
tending the Philadelphia Convention, his
snakeship came out of the Judges pocket.
and, in anticipation of what was likely to
come out of the Philadelphia Convention,
took to summing itself! This is a positive
fact. 1t was regular Copperhead- rat
ties about it. And nothing short of hearing
that Beebee was a delegate to Union"
Convention, could possibly have got the
snaik" out of its hole. Like the black
snake in the cotton field down south, which
swallawed the old darkey's middle finger
while he was asleep and choked to death.

A GHOST IN KENrUcKY.-The Louisville

A GHOST IN KENTUcKY-The Loui sville
(Kentucky) Journal, Of July 10th, says:
THAT ghost whose nocturnal peregrina-
tions in the neighborhood of the railroad
bridge over Silver creek has caused some con
siderable excitement, and still insists on chas-
ing people. The New Albany Ledger says
that on Saturday night his ghostship appear
ed in due form and sepulchral attire to the
watchman at the bridge-not the one chased
away on Thursday highland, as the watch
man says, walked up to him deliberately
and laid his head upon his shoulder. HUI
man watchman could not stand such super
natural familiarities, although heavily arm
ed with two OF three revolvers and so he cut
and run. The race was an exciting one
For time the watchman was ahead but
soon the ghost 1anked him, and then it came
alongside, anon darted in before him.. then
seized him by the coat tail and moan d in
doleful tones Lost lost ~ Mortal
watchman could not endure such a visitation.
He fred upon the ghost. but his ghostship
only replied with loud defiant laugh, and
sprang upon the shoulder of the frightened
watchman. Soon the watchman reached the
city, and all efforts to induce him to return
failed. He says the ghost is a vertable one,
and that all the money the railroad ever
made could not induce him to watch that
bridge alone after night. The age of super
stition has not passed away, as this Silver
creek bridge affair plainly demonstrates.

STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS,

NOTHING THAT Is NOT WHOLESOME,
IN genial, and restorative in its nature, enters
into the composition of HOSTETTER'S S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. This popular preparation con-
tains mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical
element fierce excitant; but it is combination
of the extracts of balsamic herbs and plants, with
the purest and mildest of all difusive stimuants.
AS General Tonic, HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
produce effects which must be experienced or wit
messed before they be fully appreciated In
cases of Constitutional Weakness Premature Decay
and Debility, and Decrepitude arising from Old
Age, it exercises an electric influence. In the
valescenu stages of all diseases it operates as de-
lightful invigorant. When the powers of nature
relaxed, it operates to reinforce and re-estabfsh
them.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and
hence it works wonders in cases of DYSPEPSIA,
and in less confirmed forms of INDIGESTION. Act
ing gentle and painless aperient as well as
upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Con-
stipatiOn superinduced by irregular action OF the
digestive secretve organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks, Lowness of Spirits and Fits of Languor, find
prompt and permanent relief from the Biters. The
testimony on this point is most conclusive and from
both sexes.
The agony of BILIOUS COLIC is Immediately
assuaged by single dose of the stimulant, and by
occasionally resortng to it, the return of the COM
plant may be prevented.
Last, though not least, it is the ONLY SAFE
sTIMULANT, being manufactured from sound and
innocuous materials, and entirely free from the
acid elements present more less in all the ordi-
nary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has been universally, and,
it may be truly added, deservedy popular with the
intelligent portion of the community, HOSTEL

LETTER FROM MRS. LINC0LN.

Mr.. Carpenter, the artist, who has been
publishing in the Independent his personal
recollections of President Lincoln, gives in
his last contribution the following extract of
letter from Mrs. Lincoln:
Truly, writes Mrs Lincoln, no sorrow has
been like unto mine. l am as broken hearted
over this overwhelming affliction as when the
terrible tragedy first occurred, and, of course
realize it far more. have lost the most loy:
ing and devoted of husbands, and inv dear
bows the best father that sons were ever
blessed With "Until Gods love shall place
me by his side again." l shall know no peace,
or alcviation Of my grief: Knowing him as
you did, l am sure you can pardon and ap-
prcciate wites great sorrow over so un>
timely loss!
How 1 wish you could have been with nv
dear husband the last three weeks of his life.
Having a realizing sense that the unnatural
rebellion was near q lose, and being most of
the time away from Washington, where he
had passed through such conflicts of mind
during the past four years-tceling so ems
couraged, he freely gave vent to his cheer
tulness. Down the PotoNac, he was almost
boyish in his Inirth and reminded Inc of his
original nature, as | remembered him in our
own home, free from care, surrounded by
those he loved.
That terrible Friday I never saw him so
surremey cheerful. His manner was even
playful. At three o'clock he drove out with
me in the open carriage. In starting, | asked
him if any one should accompany US? He
Immediately replied "No, prefer to ride
by ourselves to-day" During the drive Ae
was SO gay that asked him, laughingly 80
Dear husband, you almost startle me by
your great cheerfGlpess." lie replied, "And
well may feel so, Mary, for 1 consider this
day the war has come to 4 close" and then
added, eve must both be more cheerful in
the future Between the war and loss of our
darling boy We have been very miserable"
Every word he then uttered is deeply en-
graved on my poor broken heart In the
evening his mind was fixed upon having some
relaxation. I firmly believe that if lie had
remained in the White House, On that night
OF darkness, when the fends prevailed, he
would have been horribly cut to pieces
Those tiends had too long contemplated this
iahuman murder to have allowed him to es-
cape.

highly productive, and the homes of wealth,
luxury and refinement, but about fifty years
since slavery was abolished in the State of
Vera Cruz, and the proprietors of these mag
niticent estates left the country with the
large fortunes they had amassed The
church seized the lands and allowed them to
lie idle and go to ruin. The buildings from
each of these places must have cost from
$1OO, 900 to S50O0OO. "'s',
The church held the property until about
five years since, when it was taken by the
government, and the government now sells
it to US for colonization at one dollar per acre
in quantities Of six hundred and forty acres,
to each head Of fam ly, and three hundred
and twenty to each single man, on creot of
one, two, three, four and five years This is
the beginning of the first Confederate colony

settle Immediately are General Price and Cen
eral Shelby, from Missouri, Judge Perkins,
Of. Louisiana, and myself. The resources of
this country are such as to insure fortune to
the energy and industry that have usually
characterized our people. The wonder is that

veloped SO long, but this is the most indolent,
lazy aud worthless population on earth.

legal right.
4th. That persons were allowed to vote
