A DUELL1Na INoIDENT.-An indis-
Greet gentleman, who had giYenoffense
to young lady in Louisville, Ken.
tucky, a few days since. was challeng-
ed by the that-is.to-be husband Of the
insuited. While the challenged party
was reading the invitation to 90 out
and be shot, his little daughter came
up and said, "Papa, mother wants
YOU" The father then turned to. the
challenge bearer, and said f"This is
my little girl, whose happiness and ed.
ucation and living would be taken from
her were. I to be killed. I have also a
wife and baby. whose welfare 1 must
took to. This meeting, if fatal to me,
would deprive them of their only sup:
port, My opponent is 3 young man,
without wife, or children, or family.
Ho has very little to lose" The ehat
ge.bearer was almost melted to
tears. The picture just drawn was
true to life, and he determined to re-
tnrn to his principal and ask for q
compromise. The latter was q high
toned, chivalrous Kentucky gentle
man, whose heart at once responded to
the appeal for mercy. A compromise
was effected. 1t was agreed that the
duel should be postponed till the first
party got married and became the
father of children. Then they will
botL bo on an equal footing and can
test each others courage.

WHAT THE TRIBUNE SAYS.

In State bonds there has been a
pretty fair trade. The chief activity,
however, was in South Carolinas, new
January and July bonds which de-
clined from 81 yesterday to s23 to-day,
though later reaching in the street to
36a. The depression in these bonds
is due partially to the large sales Of
bon"s hypothccatcd on loan, and
which the borrower was unable to
LIFT. - .--..--. .--.- = !.
