A ANGULAR DUEL.

A strange story is reported by a cor
respondent relating to duel at Ber-
lin. A ballet dancer of the name of
R, belonging to the Royal opera OF
Berlin, had got into a quarrel with the
Graf von s., an officer In the Royal
Guard, and had insulted his adversary
In presence of several Of the officers of
the guard. But the officer was much
too fine q gentlemen to fight man so
much beneath him In social standing
rs ballet dancer. a duel, If 1t can
be so called, was accordingly agreed
on, by the terms Of which the first OF
the two opponents who was seen with.
out glove on his left hand was to kill
himself. 1t may be imagined that for
several days neither Count Won $
nor R. took of his left hand glove
either by night or day. At last the
unfortunate r., having gone out fol
Il walk with q young lady to whom he
was engaged to be married, his COM
panion teased him so much about his
obstinacy In keeping his glove on, that
In a fatal moment he barred his hand,
Just then Count Won s. passed, ac-
companied by two friends, and imme-
diately called attention to the fact that
R had forfeited his life. The same
evening the unfortunate dancer shot
himself through the heart, in accord
ance with the condition agreed upon.

HE Nashville CTenn.) Banner thus
relates how an old lady in that city
took time by the forelock: "a lady
residing in the Eleventh District, gen.
orally known as 'old Mrs. w. having
heard of the Franco-German war,
buried every valuable thing she had a
day or two since. When asked why
she did so, she replied that, in the days
of the Revolution, her father said that
the British would not come, but they
did, and impoverished him; and that
then, when the people said the Yam.

gobbled up everything she had /; and
that she intended to get ahead of the

A MORNING PICTURE.

The morning opens like rose.
The eastern skies are family flushed,
While all the west Il filed with clouds
Where late the last sweet evening blushed
No sparkles from the dew.drops come;
A deece-like mist hangs DER the vale:
The clouds as stately and a. slow
As ships in some calm ocean sail.
The unsunned breeze is cool and frcsh,
By tall woods winnowed till IL dies;
And half across the placid pool
The massive oak trees shadow lies.
The lark now rises from his nest,
Scars heavenward till his form Is dim;
Soon In Q sea OF sunlight lost
His notes with liquid freedom swim.
The flowers awake, and now dissolves
The mist that clung to wood and wold;
And al the clouds about the sun
Appear like hills Of snow and gold
Old earth 10 gay with light and dew,
The new morn cleaning on her breast;
While like flaming jewel glides
The pauseless sun unto the west.

GARTER AND BOOTS.
1t is no unjust SANDER on the women
or our country to say that their lower
limbs are wanting in the beauty and dev-l
0pment OF those of women of most other
nations. The causes of this are various.
" ant OF exercise for a part that is not
used decreases IN size-tight, small boots,
which prevent the free movement of the
muscles, and cause dread of setting the
loot down squarely, so that their walk de-
generates into more of frightened, miac-
lnc style than Is necessary. These causes
are pretty we'll known; but there is another
pro llc source Of unshapely limbs. viz ::
Tight garters. Every woman is familiar
with the vivid red mark on the skin Icf. bv
the garter, after being worn in the usual
manner even for a short time. Now, gar
teTs never should be worn so tight. The
stocking should be long enough to come so
lar up on the limb as tc be EASILY secured,
without excessive pressure or the stock
ing supporter, now being adopted pretty
extensively, should be used. The worst
result produced by tight ligalures is the af
lection called 'varicose veins" in which
the VEINS enlarge. assume knottcd ap
rearsncc, like coilcd snake, and some>
lines burst, dl>fsuring the limb tor life.
ms Is often produced by the obstruction
TO the Tree passage Of the blood through
the veins from the tight ligature around
the i!mb. The boot now in fashion, with
small heel near the center. is very badly
devised inr anything but an instrumen. Of

The position of words in a sentence, and
rhe use Of stops, often entirely alter the
meaning. Thus an account OF funeral
declares, The remains were committed
to that bourne from which no traveller re
turns attended by his friends"
Ignorant people are apt to use phrases
with double meanings, without intending
TO DO so. Among the advertisements We
may sometimes read that q respectable
Young woman wants washing The pro
prietor of bone mill sdvertises that par
ties sending their own bones to be ground
will be attended to with fidelity and dis
patch. 1t was once related in a city pa
per how. during the celebration, 3 chi ID
was run over wearing short red dress,
which never spoke afterward.
Many popular puzzles depend upon the
ambiguity or dolhle meaning Of words
and phrases Thus we are told there was
man who had six children, and had
never seen one Of them. We are led to
suppose that none of the children have
ever been behcld by their parent. But
the words may mean equally as well that
one had been born while tbs Iarent was
on journey. and he had, consequently,
never seen that one. Another puzzle lie
this: There vas poor bind beggar who
had a brother the brother died, but the
man who died had nu brother. What re
|ation was the beggar to the man who
died ? We are apt to think the beggar
might be girl, the answer becomes quite
plain.
We are told of two men who met each
other at an inn, and greeted each othe,
afectionately. The hotel keeper inquired
Of one how he was related TO the othe,
who replied
"Brother and sister have none,
