Anecdotes of DueIipa.

The history Of dueling has its comic
and its romantic aspect as Weli as its
tragic and its diabOlical. Some Of the
excuses given for not fighting are droll
enough. Franklin relates the follow
ing anecdOte: A gentleman in a coffee
house desired another to sit farther
from him. Why sop said the per-
son thus addressed. " Because, sir.
you SMELL" "That, sir, is an affront,
and you must fight me-" 81 will
fight you if yop insist upon it; but /
don't see how that will mend the mat
ter, for if you kill me / shall smell,
too; and if / kill you, you will smell
worse, if possible, than you do at pres
ent." Amadeus Y. Of Savoy sent a
challenge to Humbert II. of the same
duchy. The latter replied TO the
bearer 0f the challenge: "That the
virtue Of prince did not consist in
strength of body; and that ifhis priT-
cipal boosted of his strength, there was
not a bull which was not stronger and
more vigorous than he could possibly
be; and therefore, if he liked, one

Ilgured in this debate as the advocate

figured in this debate as the advocate
of Washington City as the permanent
seat Of perishing nation. Probably
he thought his policy of secession
would best be subseryed by keeping
the capital away from the center. n
Finally the old Missouri Trojan ex-
pressed himself upon the Washington
Monument question: similar scheme
to the big fair first projected here by
sundry plumbers and newspaper ear
riers. f,..t- .. - =.
Mr.. Thomas II. Benton, in the Sen

INTERNAL REVENUE.
New Ruling Of Commissioner DeIanO.
The Forthcoming Report of Treas

WASHINGTON, October 24.-In con-
sideration of representations of the in
applicability Of regular ones for grain
distillati0n made to the Commissioners
of Internal Revenue, Mr.. DelanO has
made important notifications, which
he is authorized to do under the law.
The kind Of materials used is to be
considered. In estimating the capa-
city of stills and houses ouly those ac-
tually occupied in distillation are to be
considered in estimating the amount
to be returned. This will relieve the
fruit distilling interest from the de-
deficiency tax. A liberal
treatment IS to be applied in cases
where this deficiency tax has been as
sessed.
1t is further directed that wine
selling wine Of their own
manufacture, are liable to dealers Ii
cence.
The forthcoming report of Treas
urer Spinner will show an increase
of collections, and that the decrease of

ing August 81, 1869, amounted to $685.

SPIRrTUAUISM. 6
Astonishing Revelations---The Ghost
of N. p. Willis.

n. Y. Cor. of Chicago Universe.
Whatever suspicious may attach
to needy professional mediums, who
give public seances for money, none, l
apprehend, can properly obtain in re-
I latiOn to private individuals of ample
means and undoubted repectability,
who reluctantly disclose the mystic
riOus spiritual manifestations constant
ly recurring through the agency of
their own mediumistic powers, and
who, although keen, cool, and educa-
ted reasoners, are totally unable to ex-
plain any portion of the phenomena
upon any known laws. In this city,
and almost daily, events are trans
piring in this connection. In one
instance, we find an estimable
lady-the wife of lawyer
whose brown stone residence is on
Forty-fOurth street communing con-
stantly with the unseen world, under
circumstances the most startling. The
spirit of n. p. Willis, whom she had
q over seen in the form, is a frequent
visitor of herself and family. He
enters the drawing-room, from time
to time, and, in the presence of her

her side, and cOnYerses with her
through the medium of the alphabet.
In strange, phosphorescent light, a
chair is seen to move toward her
from distant part of the room with
out human agency, and then she be-
comes aware OF its proximity. From
a vase of flowers near curtain win
dow, he has occasionally plueked
rose and put it in her hand; while,
in more than one instance, he has
brought her lilies and bouquets drip
ping with dew, quite dissimilar to
any bud or gem in or about her
dwellings. In addition to this, he has
given her a spirit likeness of himself,
in GrayOn, 50 perfect as to be regarded
absolutely iniplitabie by those who
knew him well in the flesh while, to
cap the climax, he has presented her
with small volume of his poems, to
which he has affixed his autograph in
her presence, and which seemed to
have sailed into her hand out of the
empty void ofthe atmosphere. / have

in the drawing-room in euestion--I
have seen the portrait, the book, the
autograph, and, in a dried state, the
flowers, alluded TO; and am thor,
oughly satisfied of the.genuineness of
the manifestations First, because they
occurred among persons .ofrefinement
and intelligence who checked and an
alysed them to intensity, and whose
respectability placed anything like !
fraud completely out Of the question;
next, because manifestations, similar
in character, are, as alleged On unim-
peachable evidence, occurring daily
in various other parts Of the world,
and, lastly, because the noble charity
and exalted nature of this lady, COM
