that it had to be crowded into pail of water to
prevent total destruction. During the hot
weather, last month, a handful of old cotton
rags, in which two matches were placed, but
which were not smeared with oil or other mat

the loft, real window allowing the afternoon
sun to shine directly on the box for several
hours. Toward the close of the fourth day the
chemist took down the box to see how the ex-

tents to consist of nothing but puff of black
cinders, which flew all over the room as the lid
was lifted. Having vacant corner in his brick
wood-house at home, the chemist took the
trunk up there, where there was no danger of
burning building. He filled the trunk with
the contents of the paper rag bag, and then
smeared one with benzine and threw it in last

cleared away from its vicinity, and he COM

ALMOST DUBLIN our chapter on dueling
in last Mondays Mosaic, we omitted an anus
ing incident which occurred good many years
ago between to men in Mississippi, whose names
have since become historical in the annals of
this country. We refer to Robert j. Walker and
VIM. NJ. Gwin, duke of Sonora An alteration
occurred between them which led to a challenge
from Mr.. Walker, Walker was man of re-
markable diminutive size, while the doctor tow
cred like giant, with the Drawn and bone of
London porter. Walker was bent on fighting;
but the DOCTOR who was naturally a ioyial and
kind-hearted soul, did not feel at all aggrieved
toward his adversary Be that as it might, the
doctor accepted the challenge, and chose the In.
dian war tomahawk as his weapon. The terms
were so arranged that on given day the COM
batants were to be posted $50 yards apart, and,
at given signal, to rush past each other, like
knights in q tourney, finging their tomahaWks

"fhe doctor Gansed it to be bruited abroad
that he practiced every day in a savannah, a
few miles away from the town where both re-
sided. Piqued with curiosity, Mr.. Walker al
lowed himself to be persuaded to visit the spot
surreptitiously, and view the achievements of
his antagonist. Not so surrepstitiously, how
ever, that DR.. Gwn was not aware whose pry-
ing eyes were fixed upon his movements.
Measuring off one hundred and fifty PAGES from
the solitary stump of pine tree, the doctor
bounded with spring and yell that would

ture. As hs neared the stump he projected the
missile, with powerful sweep of his arm, clean
up to the handle into the soft pine, and, pant
ing, came to dead halt, There was something
so ludicrously savage in all this, that Mr..
Walker and his companion burst Involuntary
into fit Of laughter from their ambush. The
laugh betrayed them; a reconciliation took
place, and up to the breaking out of the con-
federate war, and, it may be, up to Mr.. Walkers
death, they were fast friends. "-Nelo Orleans

The enterprise which the people Of Chicago
claim for themselves is not monopolized by the
honest tradesmen-we presume there are such
of that city. Even the burglars are alert and
watchful that no chance slips by unimproved,
and they recognize opportunities that elsewhere
would seem of no value TO men of their calling
A gentleman Of that city not long ago left home
with his family, having made arrangements
with a friend to look after his house. The friend
slept in the house at night, thinking that in the
daytime it would take care of itself. Some
craftsmen happenen to learn these facts, and
concluded to undertake an operation which is
not often attempted in their fraternity. They
1ound their way into the house easily enough
early in the morning, and spent,the day there,
taking what they pleased, overhauling
everything at their leisure, making no effort at
concealment, and boldly carrying away their
plumber in wagon. They were seen, of course,
by neighbors, policemen and casual passers-by;
but the presence Of workmen, packing and re-
moving goods in broad day, attracted no special
attention; no one was suspicious, and no ques-
tons were asked of the industrious burglars.
An acquaintance of the family remembers see
