view apparently to Secession, seem
to us destitute of gravity and legiti-
mate force. They bear the unmistak-
able impress of haste-of passion-of
distrust of the popular judgment.
They seem clearly intended to pre-
cipitate the South into rebellion, be-
fore the baselessness of the canors
which have misled and excited her.

Brown, the Duelist.

The Democratic candidate for Vice.
President, Benjamin Gratz Brown, is
on the record as a duelist. The his
tory of the affair is as follows:-
Brown was challenged to fight a du-
ell by Lieutenant. G Governor Reynolds,
of Missouri, and accepted the chal-
lenge, choosing rifles at distance of
one hundred yards. Reynolds was a
near sighted man, incapable of dis
tinguishing a man from a COW fifty
feet off, so be naturally objected to
the arrangement and requested that
pistols or swords be employed. To
this the valiant Brown demurred,
and Reynolds began to insult him
every time the two met They new
err encountered each other in the
streets of st. Louis, in a public libra
ry or any other place, but Reynolds
heaped insults upon the unchivalrous
Gratz in order to provoke q challenge
from him. At last matters grew SO
hot that Brown could stand it no
longer. All st. Louis looked at him
with contempt, and be finally sum.
moned up courage to send friend to
Reynolds to deliver a challenge, and
make preliminary arrangements for
a duel. Two days later the men met
on Bloody Island" in the MISSISSIPPI
pi river, pistols in hand, and Brown
came away in q carriage, with q dan
gerous wound in his leg. He carried
q cane for the next few months, and
in this, his first and last engagement,
received his only scar.-Dubuque
Times.
1t is fortunate for Browns
chances for Office that the above did
not occur under the laws of Wiscon-
sin, which declares that any person
who offers or sends challenge to
fight q duel, any one who carries or
accepts such a challenge, or any one
who attends q duel as principal, sec
ond or sugeon, shall be forever dis
qualified from being an elector or
holding Office in Wisconsin.

Sherman Stirred Up.

General Sherman has been irrita-
ted in Berlin by a question Of ETH
quette like that which agitated the
English Court some years ago, when
unconventional American insisted on
presenting himself to the Queen in
the "disgraceful habiIiments" Of orr
binary lite. General Sherman on his
arrival called first on Won Moltke,
whose rank is the same as his own
but Won Moltke did not return his
visit for some days. Then the Em~
peror William was notified that
Sherman wished to see him, and re-
turned the reply, that The had no OBJ
lection" On these terms General
Sherman did not call nd putting
both Incidents together, considers
that the German officials do not treat
him with proper Difference.
The German argument is, that Cen
eral Sherman should call in uniform,
as his French sympathies do not war
rant the German government in ex-
tending him any other than purely
official civiities Only in his charac-
ter "a General and in his uniform to
correspond can they recognize him.
Perhaps Gen. Sherman ought to
study the little proprieties of dress,
and be careful TO conform to the
usages of foreign courts. But now
that the German feeling toward him
is disclosed, he will have ground for
perplexIty whether the court of Der
lin was most anxious to meet him or
his clothes. To slight him on the
ground that he represents the govern
ment which sold arms to France,
would be to pick quarrel with the
country of which he is not the formal
representative. He undoubtedly err
ed in the point of etiquette, but he
probably thought,
"Duds make the man, the want Of the the fellow
The rest is nought but leather and prunella"
The wide difference between Amer
lea and Germany could not be better
shown than by supposing Won Moltke
on visit to Washington. Most as
surdly our President would not neg
lect to see so distinguished man be-
cause be hid not wear a coat with the
proper proportion of brass buttons.
