PRUssIAN HoHOR-An English paper says:-A
strange story which we certainly cannot bring our
selves to believe, comes TO us through a corre-
spondent who has every title to our confidence. 1t
relates to a duel at Berlin. A ballet dancer OF the
name OF R., belonging TO the Royal Opeca OF
Berlin had got into quarrel with the Graf Won
S., an officer in the Royal Guard and had insuted
his adversary in the presence OF several OF the officers
OF the Guard. But the ofhcer was UGH too fine
gentleman to fight man 80 much beneath him in
social standing as ballet-dancer. duel il it can
be so called, accordingly agreed by the terms
of which the first OF the two opponents who was
without glove his LETT hand was 70 Kill himself.
1t may easily be imagined that for several days
neither Count Won S-nor R. TOOK OF their left
hand gloves either by night or day. AT last the un
fortunate R having gone out for walk with
young lady to whom he was engaged TO be married,
his companion teased him SO much about his obsti-
macy in keeping his glove on that in fatal moment
he barred his hand. Just then Count Won S -
passed. accompanied by two friends, and immedi-
atey called their attention to the fact that R
had forfeited his life. The same evening the un-
fortunate dancer shot himself through the heart in
accordance with the conditions agreed upon.

GENERAL WIN. B. THOMAS ON THE
WARPATH

He would be rare and very remarkable man
who could for any considerable length of time
represent an American constituency in the
lower house at Washington without making
mistake, or giving some just ground for COM
plant. This would be especially the case if
the Representative had brains, application,
and powers of debate constituting him a
leader To party man whose voice is never
heard in general debate, and whose influence
is never felt in giving shape to great and i'm
portant party or national questions, the road
at Washington is not difficult one to travel.
Especially if his name comes on the roll well
down, say among the Os and Ms, he can
without much effort of mind follow the votes
of his party friends who precede him in
answering yea and nay. But, as before re-
marked, it is somewhat difficult for leader,
be he ever so honest and able, SO always
to act and vote as not to
embarrass great vital interests and at
the same time not array against him
special interests, maybe in his own dis
trict These observations are made in view
of the charges preferred against Judge
Kelley by General William b. Thomls,
at a late meeting called in his inte-
rest by some disinterested pptriOts in the
Fourth district After wading through the
numerous counts of the indictment, we cannot
but express our astonishment that in SO long,
conspicuous, and eventful political career
Judge Kelley should have given his enemies
SO little ground upon which to rest charges.
1t should be source of congratulation to
himself and friends that after so many event
full years of public service, in the midst
of the most important epoch in our
history an indictment should contain literally
nothing but that which, if honestly viewed
and dispassionately discussed, must rebound
to his honor and credit. There is one count
in the indictment brought by General

Thomas that is unworthy any Pennsylvanian,
and is low appeal that can only be valuable
to Thomas in proportion as the people
of the Fourth district are intelligent or
ignorant.
We allude to his charge that Judge Kelley
voted against the repeal of the duty upon
imported coal. Does General Thomas count
so much upon the ignorance of the people as
to believe that they are not aware that one of
the great sources of wealth possessed by our
State is her vast coal-felds ?-and he should
know that the Pennsylvania who would be
traitor enough to oppose this great interest
would be an unworthy and dishonored repre-
sentative.
1t may be pertinent in this connection to
allude briefly to the vast extent and value of
our anthracite coal-felds alone, which under
lie four hundred and seventy square miles
within the limits of the Commonwealth, and
are the only deposits of anthracite on the
continent. In the working of these vast coal
fields there is employed in direct mining
capital, ard in canals and railroads constructed
almost exclusively as a means for transporting
coal, over $3.50, 100000. Over two hundred
firms and Incorporated companies are en-
gagged in mining, and the product last year
was over 16, 600, 900 tons.
If General Thomas can urge no stronger
claim to public confidence and support than
the promise to assist in destroying one of the
most important interests of the Common
wealth, he will find in October next that he
has counted too much on clap-trap and de-
plorably underestimated the intelligence of
our people. Judge Kelley is recognized in
all sections of the Union as one of the most
able supporters of the great industries of our
country, and the most fearless and uncom-
promising enemy of British free trade. 1t
would have been a most laughable commen-
tary upon his constituencyif, as the champion
of American protection, he should have voted
against protection of American coal, espe-
cially as that interest was in his own State.
Such inconsistency may suit General
Thomas, or be overlooked by small ward poll
ticians, but would be objectionable in gen
tleman occupying the position that Judge
Kelley does. The Judges most bitter enc
mics are the consistent opponents of pro-
tective system, and it was to be hoped that no
Pennsylvania, and certainly no aspirant for
Congressional honors, would have the teme-
rity to assault him for consistent labor, vigi-
lance and devotion to the great industrial
interests of our State
