The foles of the old Castlian style of doing things
is imcomparably well buresqned by Cervantes, and
Don Quixote will go down through ages as type of
the eaggeratiyey romantic mode prevalent among the
Dons A recent instance of their exquisite sense of
honor is given in paragraph which We find in the
New Orleans Bulletin. 1t is tbuswise Spanish gen
tlemen speak with great enthusiasm of the handsome
behavior, in late duel of two naval officers of high
rank intimate friends, who had quarreed over their
cups. They fought at twenty paces to advance to a
central line and fire at will. One walked forward,
and when the line the other fred and bit him.
The wounded man staggered up to the line and said,
II am dead-come thou and be killed" The other
came up until he touched the muzzle of his adver.
sary's pistol, and In moment both were dead-ike

with water while train is at full speed the ingenuity
Of man has not ony made this possible but practicable
and extremely simple This is novelty in this country
though said to have long been practced in Europe.
The Hudson river road is trying the experiment, and
curta description of :he process, republished by
the New Orleans Bulletin from the Albany Argus. A
trough has been constructed at point the road, in
the centre of track twelve hundred feet in length,
fifteen inches in depth and eighteen inches wide,
lined with sheet ron heavily painted This trough is
perfectly straight throughout the twelve hundred feet
short distance the north and of it is spring
which supplies it with water, the trough holding six
teen thousand gallons, which be repe' ished at
will A locomotive has been fitted out with in
geniously formed pipe curling from the man hole in
the tender down through the latter, in position in
side of the hind trucks, where the pipe forms half
circle the end of which is the nozzle which always
points the way the eng goes. Fastened to this noz
gle is iron bar, which connects with bar from a
point near the freman's box, by which, when the To-
conceive 10 the trough, the nozzle pipe can
be dropped nstantaneously into the water while the
train is running its highest of speed. The
gle sinks only to the depth of two inches in the trough
yet even at that depth, when twelve hundred feet is
passed over sixteen hundred and thirty -four gallons
of water will be found in the tender.
The Argus says the first experiment in taking water
occurred recently. The locomotive dashed over the
rails which the trough the rate of thirty
five miles the hour. AS the nozzle struck the water,
the fluid rushed into the tender with roar like a
young Niagara, and when the trough was left behind
the fireman found his tender full.

Home Insurance Company.

We have previously called attention to the fact that
an effort was berg made to organize Home 1nsu-
rance Company il Shreveport. The proposed capital
stock is sl500G0 twenty FIVE per cent Of which is TO
be Immediately pa in, and in all probability there will
not another dollar be called for. Some $4,000 have
already been subscribed and among those subscribing
are some OF our most cautious merchant.
1t is certainly not province to dictate to men
how they had best invest their surplus capital but
would suggest that we're they to give the subject of
insurance proper investigation they would be forced
to the conclusion that Judging from the past, there s
no more profitable mode of investment open to them
Let them reflect for moment upon the vast amount
of tribute paid the past season. by this region of coun
try to foreign Offices. At the lowest estimate two hun
dred thousand bales of cotton have, since the lst Of
September, been shipped from this place and from
points above, and of this amount underwriters have
only totally lost the 900 bales burned on the Jefferson
and partially lost the 700 bales on board the Caroline
when she sunk above the raft while on up freight
the loss has even been more Insignificant. And sup
posing Office had had, say $4,000 risk ON ever,

what dividend would have been declared! Insurance
if one has failed recently are not cognizant of b
fact Such as that proposed would of course
be managed cautiously. Only limited risks would b.
taken, as they could be divided between other Offices
AS this process may not be familiar to all of read
ers, will explain.
| Suppose a merchant who owned stock in hom
Office wished to insure his building and stock ofgood
to the amount of $4,000. He applies to this Office
which takes the entire risk but divides it out among
three four or eight other Offices, the judgment o
the officers might suggest. So, that the office would
have risk of only $4,000.
But would urge planting friends who ma:

use for, to consult Messrs. Kline & Phelps, or an,
other parties thoroughly posted this subject, ant

WAR's WILD ALARUMs.-The dispatches published
in our Saturdays ssue OF most threatening inpor

to the christian and enlightened mind men, ofentimes
distractions will array themselves in deadly
hostility against their fellow man. Amid the clash Of

battling for they scarce know Whadriven to the sham
bles sheep but when there converted into ravenin2
wolves eager for each others destruction.
Let them that make the battles be the only to fight
says the song and could this suggestion be carried
out, how few wars we should have!
Reason or moraze may, however, wars will
come, although they of much less frequency than
before Christian civilization had shed its benign in
fuence upon the world. Now Europe trembes upon
the of probably as bloody confict as has been
witnessed during the present century. The warlike
preparations of both powers are on the most magni6
cent scale, and the of concentration have been
brought almost to perfection. The foes, eager and
feroe and animated by jealousy and hate that have
been intensified by military rivalry and political an
tagonism of interest," are probably now face to
face and whatever the result the conflict must needs
be sharp short and decisive We say probably, be-
but cling to the hope that, even at the
last hour, calm reason may step in and stay the up
lifted hand ere it strikes-that weeping mercy may
drown with her tears the cannoners fuse ere he ap-
plies it to his piece.
