Sidney, without replying, immediately
Knocked down Abel. Here the scene
ended until evening, when Abel sent n
challenge to Sidney to meet him and
settle the matter by fighting a duel.
The challenge was accepted, and Col.
Fish, of New Orleans, was selected as
Sidney's second, and the fighting ar
ranged to come OIL, without unnecessary
delay, on the Virginia side of the Pot0-
mac. To-day, however, friends inter

Judge Abel wrote note OF apology.
stating that he only intended a little
pleasantly in his remark to DR.. Sidney.
The affair has created no little excite

The History of Words.

It is extremely interesting to trace the
history Of words, and observe the chan
ges which time has brought about i'm
their use. Take, for instance, the two
words woman and '.ladyn Tho al
most universal acceptation is that lady is
Il term Of higher honor than woman, but
the very reverse ought to be the case.
Both are pure Saxon words. The precise
meaning of the first has been disputed.
believe, however, that it is II contiuc
tion of witi-man, sienifying bound to,
or the companion of man-which is more
clearly seen III the pronunciation Of the
plural form, women. Lady means Il
giver Of bread being closely allied to the
word loaf in its more ancient form iaef,
and Is explanatory of one OF the duties OF
our saxon mothers-that OF dividing
bread among the household. Let those
whom it more Immediately concerns de-
eide which term is the more honorable or
desirable. The word spinstcr applied to
Young women of whatever RANK, points
to the rigid rule, that before they became
wives, they must with their own hands,
spin such a quantity wool ~ would bc
Sufficient to manufacture that amount OF
WOODEN stufls of various texture which
the holy state of matrimony Is held 10
rcluise. In those days bachelors were
liot-tl.ere being no Saxon equivalent to
the term, which is Of Latin origin. t
One would hardly imagine that there
could be any connection between the
words gold and guilt; they are, however,
nearly allied. All crimes among the
-axons We're punished by the infection
OF Il fine in gold; and according TO the
degree Of crime committed, %. wa, the
amount Of fine imposed, hence the
sum Of gold exac.ed indicated the guilt
incurred. The civic institution OF Guilt
Court has similar origin. Many REM
nants of ancient customs have descended
