My friend exhibited an amount of agi-
lity and skill was unprepared for. The
master watched his play closely, content
ing himself with parrying blows and
thrusts delivered with much spirit and
artistic skill. The bout was over.
"Well, professor, does your pupil dis
grace you?"
your play has some pretty things for
the fencing-school; they must all be dis
carded with such an opponent as the Aus
trian. Attend. First discharge from
your eyes NIL that passion which enables
an adversary to master your intentions;
next, to take this guard, and to keep to
it." sr-ca
The professor threw himself into an
attitude, once favorite among Scottish
gentlemen Of the sword, but now ne
elected by fencers of the modern school,
I believe it is termed the hanging guard.
My friend initiated the professor.
''Not en gudrte but en- Sec0nde, your
sword hand higher than your head, with
sloping point; your left brought in front,
ready to parry. Good you have now the
surest guard you use; you make q strong
cross on your opponents sword, and
your parade is more certain. You have
a week. Well, shall exercise you only
in this guard, and the paradcs that flow
from it."
cam I not to assault?''
'tBut once; on it will depend the issue
of the fight; I will teach you the mode
the last thing. See, your adversary is
practised and skillful; but he knows only
what he has been taught by his master.
One or two tricks of science he especially
relies upon. Il know how to counteract
them, and had my pupils, when challeng-
ed. attended to my instructions, they
might have been alive low to credit their
instructor
t'You shall never have to make com.
plant of me-"
.'Bear in mind, your opponent has
great bodily strength, and is cunning of
he loses temper; in that lies your safety.
Having played ont his tricks, he takes
his last and usually fatal move. By sheer
strength of wrist, he presses his oppo-
nent's firmly aside, 80 as to make an
open, then by feint and turn of the
wrist, he delivers q thrust which, if it
goes home, all is over. You must wait
patiently for this; when the thrust was
given; parry with your left, and see-za

wards, for in that case the bone and mus
cles of the chest may weaken it; but
downwards, where the point will only
meet with the softer parts. It is only
the play from the risposte that your life
depends"
II have, fear, imperfectly stated the
particulars of the lesson, and technical
terms made use of, my experience in
fencing being confined to turn or two
with blunts st Angeles room. OF course,
as this was to be duel in downright
earnest, my attention was more t6an

DEATH OF A. D. RICHARDSON.

= This noted journalist and writer, who
Was shot by Mcfarland in New York
city few weeks ago, died on Thursday
last from the effects of his wound. A
day or two previous to his decease Mr..
Richardson was married to Mrs. Me
Farland, Henry Ward Beecher perform
ing the ceremony, and Horace Greeley
being enc of the witnesses. We think
many OF the newspapers throughout the
country are committing a great wrong
IN torestalling public opinion against
Mcfarland in this affair. for this case
undoubtedly, like all others, has two
sides to it 1t is only natural of course,
that under the circumstances, Mr..
Richardson should have the press come
to his rescue, but we are hardly pre-
pared to admit that because ofthis dis
graceful transaction Mr.. Richardson
should be canonized as a martyr, Mrs.
Mcfarland as sanity heroine, and
Dir. Mcfarland condemned before the
public and country as a cold blooded
murderer. Before justifying fully Rich
ardson's course, let Us wait for the evil
dencc in the case on both sides, for
perhaps, after all, Mcfarland may be
able TO show some palIiatlng circum
stances which will temper and soften
the crime for which he now stands
cond smned. Frying into household al
fairs Is not only contemplate, but wick
ed ii the extreme, and when carried to
such an extent as to cause the separa-
ton of man and wife, it is not surpris-
ing if some one should ct hurt There
IS too much of this business going on
all over the land, and the sooner the
people are convinced that what God
has joined together let not man put
asunder," the better it viii be fo1 the
country generally.

THE RED RIVER REBELLION.


Some over Jealous f1epls of this
country are bocomi,ag very mech alarm
cd for fear that should matters come to
crisis with the Red River settlers this
country woald be made theroushlare
Tor the troops seat BY the Canadian
Government in putting down that
fractions population.
We consider thcs. foa $ sroundless.
Ia the FIRST place we ardly think the
government Of Great Britain would
have the presumption 70 ask a favor OF
that kind from US, who still smart under
the treatment we received from that
government during the late Rebellion,
and 10 the second place it is conceded
all around that those Seikirkers have
our warmest sympathy in the position
they have taken. They are doing
nothing more nor less than asserting
tue right Of self government. In fact
their position hardly reaches out to that
point, they merely ask for the privilege
Of little voice in the selection Of rulers
for their territory, and are opposed not
only to having their country disposed
of as merchantabIe property, but them
selves handed over bodies and souls as
part of the merchandise.
The Red River Rebels still hold out,
and Gov. McDougall does not move
peg from his position at Pembina He
is in no condition to show any authori-
ty without troops, and unless trans
ported through our territory it would
take many months to send him any as
sistance. of that kisd. Perhaps, now,
after all, the matter may end, as it
should, in the annexation of their terri
tory to the United States. We know
that large portion Of the population
are favorable to the project this is more
particularly true of the French half
breed It is not, however, 50 certain ow
theScoteh and English half breeds feel
on this subject but as a choice between
becoming the subdued subjects of Can
ada, or annexation, they would ia
doubtedly accept the latter alternative.

FoR SERGEANT ALARMS. = The
two Norwegian papers published in this
State that have always battled SO nobly
for the Republican cause, are out in IA
vor of Col. Ole C. johnson of Dane
county for Sergeant-at- Arms of the
next Assembly.
Col. johnson served with honor and
and distinction during the war, and
representing as he does our large Nor
wlegan population, nine tenths of whom
are Republican to the core, it must GER
tainly be conceded that he has strong
claims on the position, especially since
that class Of cur voters were Ignored
at the late State Convention, to give
away to others. In speaking thus we
do not wish in any way to prejudice
the claims of other worthy and we j
qualified candidates Who lave been
named throughout the State fer this
office.

DEAR BUM

DEAR BUM:
Hast ever been in Omaha, where rolls
the dark Missouri down, and four strong
horses scarce can draw an empty wagon
through the .own? Where every bubble
late or soon, from fro thy substance
overlooking, is made a very large bal
/ Icon, by constant and persistent blow
ing I? Where muddy waters rise and
swell, with fearful and restless might +;
where fish are caught by sense fsmell
because they cannot see to bite? Where
sand is blown from every mound, to fill
your eyes, and ears, and throat; where
all the steamers are aground, and all
shanties afoat? Wher. taverns have
an anxious guest for every corner, shelf
and crack, with laIf the Peep going
Vest, and all the others coming back
Where whisky shops the live-long
night are vending out their poison juice ;
where men are often pretty tight, and
women deemed a tTife loose? Where
"beats" and "bIacklegs, thick. and
hale, or deep in faro, cards and vices
where real estate is still for sale and
held at most outra- DIS prices? Whel 6
threats are all the run, and bloody
scalpers come to trade where every
thing is overdone, and everybody IN
paid If not take heed to what l say !;
you'll End il just as I have found it F.;
and if it lies Npon your way, for God s
sake, reader, go around 1t! OMAHA.
