Perhaps the most remarkable duel
ever fought took place in 1S0S. II
was peculiarly French i'm its tone, and
could hardly have occurred under any
other than a French state of society.
NJ. de Grandpre and M. lie Pique had
a quarrel, arising out of jealousy con-
corning a lady engaged at the Impe-
rial Opera, one Madamoiselle Tirevit.
They agreed to fight duel to settle
their respective claims; and, in order
that the heat of angry passion should
not interfere with the polished ele-
gance of the proceeding, they post
poned the duel for a month-the lady
agreeing to bestow her smiles on the
survivor of the two, if the other was
killed; or, at all events, this was in
ferred by the two men, if not actual
~ expressed. The duellists were 10

constructed, precisely alike. On the
day denoted, De Grandpre and his
second entered the car of one balloon,

Tuilleries, amid an immense concourse

them down by the escape of gas; and
as pistols might hardly have served
for this purpose, each aronaut took a
blunderbuss la his car. AT given
signal the ropes that retained the cars
were cut, and the balloons assembled.
The wind was moderate, and kept
the balloons at about their original
distance of eighty yards apart. When
about half a mile above the surface of
the earth, preconcerted signal for
firing was given. NJ. lie Pique fired
but missed. NJ. de Grandpre fired
and sent a ball through LIE Pique's
balloon. The balloon collapsed, the
car descended with frightful rapiditv,
and lie Piquc and his second were
dashed to pieces. DE Grandpre con-
tinued his ascent triumphantly, and
terminated his aerial voyage success.

The popular whine, "Wherc are
the Websters, the Clays, the Patrick
Henrys?" is answered in this way by
the Chicago Times. GAS men be-
come more enlightened, as education
becomes more universal, the talent OF
men becomes more equalized. There
is not the chance now there used to be
for one man to rise far above his fell
lows, and thus compel the homage
and obeisancc of those about him.
There ar. heroes as great as there ev-
er have been. But there are SO many
of them that individuals are forgotten,
and ideas are becoming supreme
This is a mark CT true progress, and
just as fast as the person is merged
into the project, go much nearer do
we come to complete culture and re-
finement."

The Cows fsr Farmer.

What are tho qualities necessary to
constitute . good COW? A good milk
FER alone does not, in our judgment,
constitute good COW; neither docs a
good breeder, nor . good feeder. 1t
is these three qualities combined that
make the cow. Give us a cow that is
good for milk, quality as well as guam
tity considered, that when properly
bred to- good bulls, will invariably
produce good calves, and one that
when dried of her milk, with proper
care and attention, takes on flesh rap
idly and evenly-and for one we rest,
for a while at least, satisfied. And
till we can raise up an entire breed of
cows, each one of which shall possess
these cxcellcncies, our aim shall be to
advance in improvement till we can
accomplish our object.
To possess the first of these quail
ties, COW should have fine head, a
little wide above the eyes, but quite
small below, and appear somewhat
long. Her nose should be of a rich
yellow color, at all events, not black.
eve do not know of any full-blO0dcd
stock of any breed with black noses,
but they frequently appear on stock
as high bred rs fifteen-sixteenths. J
Her neck should be very small where
it joins the head, but widening and
deepening as it approaches the shOul-
ders aud briskets. Her udder should
be of good size, well covered with
long soft hair, and not inclined to
feshness large milk veins, and small
delicate horns-they may be long in
some breeds, but they should be fine,
and she should have a yellow skin.
To be good breeder, she should in
the first place be descended from good
stock, and the further back you can
trace her from good stock the better.
She should possess all the before men,
toned qualities, with a broad, straight
back, wide loins and hips, long, deep
quarter, round ribs, bones small in
proportion to her size, deep and full
briskei, fore legs wide apart /; and last
| ly she should be a good handler. A
COW that is a good handler will also,
almost invariably, produce rich milk,
and if first rate handler, and posses
sing the before mentioned qualities,
she will be invariabl; good feeder.
This handling quality is, or has been
too much overlooked by breeders and
judges Of cattle shows. Judges that
will give in their decision for prem
iums on stock, without even touching
the animal, are, in our opinion, unfit
for the Office. We should not think
of purchasing COW for milk, stock
and beef, without knowing her to be
agood Handkerchief England Home.

1t is the design of this Institution to afford
the very highest advantages for the educa-
ton of young ladies, both solid and Orna-
mental. The regular course of study laid
down i'm our schedule is full and comprehen-
sive, but not more extended than the pre-
sent times demand of all who would enjoy
the benefits and distinctions of q finished ed
ucation. 1t will be our aim to train the mind
to habits of patient and independent thought
and to excite in the pupil that spirit of self
reliance which will be her best security for
future usefulness and independence. Super
ficialness in study will be utterly discarded ;
and ever reminding the pupil that there is
"nO royal road to learning,"-the watchwOrd
of the Institute will be "hard work, by
which we feel assured the highest results of
education can only be attained. More than
ordinary attention is paid to the Fine Arts.
Mons. A. Esteve, who has won for himself
an enviable distinction in the Musical World,

and Madame Esteve has charge of the Vocal
