AN INDIAN DUEL.
The Determined Bravery of the
COmbataRfs

From the Helena lNontana) Herald.l
From 81 eye wi ness Of the bloody az
fair we are IN possession of fCrtb er par
ticulars, which were related to US as fol-
lows:
A few IndiaPs were in 8 cabin occu
pied by some Of the employees Of the
mil, when one OF them displayed his re
volveF, 81 the same time expatiating on
its merits and bis own extraordinary
skill in its use. This be carried TO such
an extent that another brave Of the par
ty exclaimed in bis native tOEgue ugh,
you can't shOOt?" and denounced him
as a hraggart, st the same time saying
that he could nut him to shame at bis
own game. Whereupon, native No. l
proposed test OF skill, giving bis oppO-
nent the advantage of 8 riff 3, bis favOrite
weapon. This was st eDce sceeded to,
and Immediate preparations were made
for duel ia their own peculiar style.
By this Tins about twenty warriors had
collected, aud al repaired short way
from the cabin where they marked of
about forty fcet-the distance that was
to separate the hostile sAvsges. During
these preparations the doomed warriors
looked upon each other with the most
stoic indifference, and the crowd waited
for the denouement IN silent wonder.
When all was made ready the opponents
took their position for the last act; stand

with his riffs. One Of the NATIVES took
his position a little aside from the line OF

WARNING.
State of the Country, Morally
Politically and Socially.

The New York Round Table cOllates
a, fearful picture OF thC.prssent state of
the Country, morally, politically and
socially, IN leader on Names and
Things" which says:
Compare prevalent dogmas with ex-
istiHg acts for N Jment, and see how
this ssserf is verified. The popular
theory is that this is government OF
the many for the many but for the sake
of enricning 8 very few the entire COM
m1nity IS taxed TO burdansome, indeed,
t. an fffictiDg degree. An extravsg mt
protective tariff is in operation, which,
VIII g il encourages special fraud, bu ids
up large fortunes for minute fraction
and impOverishes the great majority Of
the com munity. The numerous projects
for taxing the public in the interest Of
corpOrstiOns-aud We are only Ia this
respect at the beginning Of series that
is certain, II unsrTested, to become gigan-
c in mum Der sRd eXten5-aFe direct CON-
spiracies against the many, conceived
and carried out for the benefit OF the
few. In the rotten and effste " old
Countries Of Europe these things are not
permitted, and it is safe to say that nsith-
er in Eng aDd nor France would the peO-
pie enquire them. Being unsupported by
the ultra Democratic dOgmss that con-
sole US here, they would take highly
practical view of things, and each man,
instead Of comforting himself by the
continual assertion thai he was as good
as every other man, would insist that,
let the aasailsnts Of his poo kst be who or
what they might, he would not be cheat
cd by them.

name Of liberty or Tepu5licaaism more
than the real benefits they are supposed
to confer, are pretty sure to object to
these observations and the caution they
are intended to convey but those who
agree with US ia thinking that human
happiness is Of "a )re value than sound

OBITUARY.
MAI. DANIEL GRAHAM.

M Al. DANIEL 0hAAAa9As
This old and venerable citizen of Nash
Vile died ia that city Sunday st twenty
mInutes before three o. lock, leaving az
aged and honorable widow, but no chill
dren. Mai. Graham was q native OF
North Csrolins, but c2meSto Tennessee
AZ an early age. when Gov. MeMinn
was in the GabsrDatorisl chair in the
year 1925, and the Legislature was in
session at Murfreesboro, q vacancy oc-
cured ia the Office of Secretary of State,
and Mai. Graham was appointed to fill
the vacancy, and afterwards elected by
the General bly,, and reelected at
every election till the termination OF
Gan Carroll's official career as Governor
in 1885, IL we mistake not. When the
new Constitution was sdopted, Msj.
Graham was elected Comptroller OF the
Treasury, an Office then newly created.
He was defeated for the office (he never
eIectioneered) upon the coming in Of
Gov. Cannon as the State Executive. In
Is45 President Polk appointed Maj Ora
ham Register of the Treasury at Wash
ington, which Office he held till the ex
piration OF Mr.. POlk's Presidential term.
In all the relations of life Maj. Graham
was a gentleman in the strictest sense of
the term. His off eisI records were with
out 8 blot, and his reputation for hon
esty, integrity and fidelity to the duties
imposed upon him, untarnished. He
was in the eightieth year of his age, and
falls like full shock Of corn, ripe for the
harvest. His memory will forever re-
main green In the hearts of his fellow
eouRtrymeD. Peace to the memory OF
the good old man.

GREECE.
The King has lost Caste with his
People.


From the Philadelphia Prsss.l
The King of Greece has dissolved the
Legislative Chamber Of that Kingdom,
and ordered a new election to obtain the
sanction OF the country for his rec7nt
change OF policy. Greece, since 1854,
has kad only one Chamber, consisting OF
10 members, who are elected for four
yesrs. but rarely serve out their full
term, as the government has often re-
course to its constitutional right OF dis
solving the Chamber The King, by his
action in the Turkish question, has sadly
damaged his reputation among the
Greeks, and also at ST. Petersburg. His
father in-law, Duke Constantine, OF Ru5-
sia, openly denennces the course pursued
by the ruler OF Greece. and the Czar is
scarcely less demOnstrative upon the
came subject. Among the leading Greek
patriots and statesmen the position as
'sumed by the King finds no defenders or
spOlogists. Tney are all for bold, fear
less, outspoke0, anti Turkish policy,
which will feanaex Gambia 70 the mother
country, and compel the Sultan to anne
liorate the condition Of the Greeks in all
the provinces and principalities. Besides
this, the Greek sdJ not relish the plant
dispesi ton manifested by the KING when
coming in contact with the French Em :
peror. They feel secure under the pro-
teclion OF Russia, and are for precipitat-
Ing the E sstern question upon Europe,
whet er FrALce and p. ussia are ready or

key to trAmple upon the Greeks in Crete
aud other places. The coming election

TWITCHELL AND EATON.
The Two Great Criminals of
Philadelphia.

From the Philadelphia Press of the 10TH.
The late tragedy, though varied
Unexpectedly by the suicide OF Twitchell,
bis fate is net less impressive. It seems
as If the weight of gilt had sutficed 70
0verwhel the wretcbed man without
the fiual stroke OF justice. His cringing
penitenee, intending to affect the human
arbiter of his fate, was succeeded by 8
new crimes sell-slaughter. There is q
deep moral in this whole case. The fami-
ly seems to have been the nest of crimes,
from incest to murder. A few months ago
they were in the full enjoyment OF spe-
cious prosperity, but the illgOtten wealth
seemed Only TO whet their rapaeity, and
turn it upon each other. The old woman
wanted to keep control Of all, and threat
sned those who str0ve to wrest it from
her. Their ret0rt was-murder. She
sleeps in bloody grave her daughter
is branded by the denuneiations of her
own husband and he escapes pu5lic ex
ecutiOn by suicide. Surely "the wages
of sin is death.u By comparison with
this abjeet wretch, the stealthy murderer
of an old woman, Gerald e .ton seemed
blanehed. Waen it was generally bruited
that he had received pardon, it excited
no sarprise. Il proved a false rumor !;
then he calmly prepared himself to die (;
and he met death like a man. But it
must not for moment be forgotten, in
sympathy with his manly bearing, that
his courses, too, led him TO his fate and
it "a a warning TO all who live life o,
vi0lence and disregard Of law. They
walk always near that fatal line which
Eaton overstep0ed, and found himself
upon the scaff0ld.

measure OF ational patriotism, and the
King will have to fall in with the popu-
lar current, or be overwhelmed by it.
A writer in Europe, whom the New
York Times declares to be perfectly ia
miliar with the affairs of Greece and
Turkey, remarks IS follows upon the an
nexation OF the IoDian islands to Greece !:
"Under the British government, the
IOnians were very prosperous; they had
good schools, well cultivated soil, and
most excellent roads. Ia fact they we're,
to my eye, among the most beautiful and
attractive portions OF the earth's surface,
that l have seen. Now all Is chsnged.
No attention has been paid to the main
tenanee OF the roads, which have, con-
sequently, gone TO destruction. Govern
ment and order have been succeeded by
violence and anarchy, and the people
are fast reIspsing into barbsrism. And
yet the I0uisns were in far more sd-
vanced state OF civilization than the Gre
tans are at this day"
