A Novel Duel.

AMONG the "reminiscences told of the
Franco-Prussian war is the account of a
curious duel between two subordinate Of
ficers of the French army.
''You intend to fight duel, eh?" asked
the commandant.
eyes, Colonel. Words have passed
which can only be wiped out with blood.
We don't want to pass for towards"
Very well, you shall fight, but it must
be in this way: Take your carbines, place
yourselves on line facing the mansion
where the enemy is You will march up
on their garrison with equal step. When
sufficiently near their posts you will fire
upon them. The Prussians will reply.
You continue to advance and fire. When
one falls the other may turn upon his
heels, and his retreat shall be covered by
one of my companies.
"In this way" concluded the COM
mandant, ''the blood which you both de-
mand will be spilled with profit and glory,
and he who comes back will do so with
out regret, without the remorse of having
killed or wounded, with his own hands, a
Frenchman, at time when France needs
all her defenders, and all her children.
If you both fall who shall say that you
are towards? / may also add that thus
give you an excellent opportunity for
putting a couple of Germans out of the
way, service that will procure for you a
good recommendation for reward and
promotion.
The matter was arranged as the COM
mandant had dictated At twenty PAGES
from the walls of Malmaison, one of the
adversaries was wounded, staggered and
fell. The other ran to him, raised him
up, and carried him away on his shoul-
ders amid a regular hailstorm of balls
both, thenceforth, entitled to the greatest
honor and respect from the whole regi-
ment.

Joke on Governor HOffma n.

CELL PERKINS" at Saratoga, gives the
following dialoguei
Mr.. B. F. Beekman, the banker, busi-
ness and railroad millionaire, and the
great Christian who raised $500, 900 to
buy Morrissey's clubhouse last summer,
for the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, had a talk with the Governor yes
day.
MIR. Beekman said he had voted the
Democratic ticket, and that he had fol-
lowed the party over pretty rough roads,
but he didn't see how he could vote for
such a shuff1ing old woman as Greeley.
''Why, Governor" said Mr.. Beekman,
''the old fool don't know enough to at
tend to his own business; he is eternally
letting some unprincipled fool swindle
him; and with such a big, overgrown
child at the head, why, business men
wouldn't feel safe, he'd want to do some
outlandish stupid thing every day"
But" interrupted the Governor, 81

why, there is Just where he is always
the biggest fool, continued Mr.. Beekman.
"Never mind" said the Governor; 81
would take his opinion on man to be
true quicker than would take any mans
in the country"
"You would asked Mr.. Beekman,
feeling in side pocket.
Eyes, 1 would" said the Governor,
firmly.
"Wen, here is a little slip where he calls
you meuntebank and a corrupt, dis
honest and swindling Democratic villain, u
said Mr.. Beckman, as he handed an old
Tribune editorial to the Governor.
The Governor read it over twice, then
looked as if he was trying to see straight
through Mr.. Beekman, row of carriages,
and two foot brick partition-then he
slammed on his hat and went up stairs.

Lost for Ten Years.

SUNDAY forenoon's train bore with it,
en- route for home at Fort Wayne, Ind, a
father with his ten year old boy, whose
history has proved an adventurous one.
The gentleman, whose name was +. III.
Huntley, married lady about eleven
years ago, in the aforementioned place.
The first year of their married life passed
off very pleasantly, and about the close of
the year this son was born. When it was
about six months old it was stolen from
its cradle during the momentary absence
of it's mother. On her return the alarm
was given, and thorough search institut
ed, but without result. The shock proved
too severe for the young mother, and a
short illness closed her life. The father
then resolved to find the boy if he was
still among the living. Advertisements
were inserted in the newspapers. Time
and money were spent in a lavish manner,
but without result, and the father gave up
the search in despair.
About six months ago he received let
ter from man in Buffalo, n. Y, with
whom he had dealings years before, and
whom by some trade he had ruined finan-
cially. 1t was done in business transac-
ton, and Huntley supposed it had been
amicably settled. But this man, it seems,
hadsworn vengeance on Huntley, and
awaited opportunity to strike the fatal
blow. Hearing that he had married and
was well to do in life he went to Fort
Wayne and began to work at blacksmith
ing. He watched his chance and resolved
on stealing Huntley's infant son. 1t was
easily accomplished. He carried the child
into the country, and hired farmer and
wife to care for it, under pretense that it
was his own.
He, for few months, paid a certain
sum regularly for the support of the
child, but the remittances at last failed,
and they knew not the address of the sup
posed father. But meanwhile the babe
had grown to be winsome boy, and
they were 10th to part with him. They
soon afterwards removed to this State,
where they have now resided for about
seven years.
The boy received all the care and atten-
tion that loving hearts, it'll no offspring
of their own; could bestow. He was kept
in ignorance of his parentage, and sup
posed his benefactors were his own father
and mother. He was carefully schooled
and gave great promise of future useful
ness. But death-bed repentance caused
the man to confess the wrong, and the

Interesting Sugar Statistics.

AMERICANS eat more sugar, man for
man, than any other people. If diet has
any effect on dispositions, we should be
very sweet, and rapidly growing sweeter.
Perhaps, however, the acerbity of our po-
litical contests counteracts the saccharines
we absorb, and the nature of our Govern
ment may require us to consume much
candy to maintain our normal balance of
amlabilitv. In 1859 we used of foreign
sugar $780, ,034 tons; of cane sugar we
made 1872, $50 tons, from molasses 12, ,053
tons, and from the maple $1,000 tons;
total, 47O,237 tons. Last year we used
100000 tons, being an increase of nearly
fifty per cent. in the twelve years; the re-
turns showing that most of this increase
has occurred within the last six years,
the consumption of 1871 being fifteen per
cent. above that of the previous year. If
to the sugar used be added one hundred
and fifty thousand hogsheads of molasses,
not to mention large amount of honey,
we see that the sweet trade is a very large
Item in our commerce. Twelve wears ago
1t was computed that we made use of
thirty-tive pounds for each man, woman
and child of our population. Now the
rate has advanced to forty pounds each.
Great Britain uses twenty-nine pounds for
each lnhabitant, and Germany still less.
In these and in all the European coun-
tries the consumption is growing The
general use of sugar is modern, not dating
further back than about four hundred
years.
While the demand for sugar is so rapid

An Impartial Judge.

OLD Otsego County boasts Justice of
the Peace who flashes out in the annals OF
local fame as srraigning himself for de-
linuuency. The Justice OF tie Peace re-
ferred to (no matter about his name or
where he belongsl possesses the excellent
attributes o. integrity; ability, and worth,
but on one occasion he forgot his Tnagls-
terial integrity He let down in weak
moment the judicial bars which should
hedge him in and rt1amed into the field OF
Bacchus. In short, on recent occasion
he imbibed too much strong drink, and
in consequence awoke with a realizing
sense of that fact next morning.
Now here was pretty go. A Justice
of the Peace had been On bender, or
part of one. A man who was appointed
to swing the fail of justice over the heads
of poor unfortunate fellows, wandering
over into the WRONG pasture himself
But there it was. He felt reminders of
it in the occasional throbs of headache.
But what was to be done? The more he
viewed it the more he became disgusted
with himself. He made Up his mind. He
would attend to his case. He would vim
dicate the outraged law.
So at the usual hour he entered his Of
flee. He formally opened court, and
then he called his own name as defendant
in a suit in which ''the people" charged
him with an offense against the law, went
over the circumstances in detail so far as
he could remember them, read ''the
statute in such cases made and provided, y
and then asked "the prisoner what he had
to say"
In the role of prisoner he pleaded
guilty to the offense, said it was shame
for man of his years and position,
but hoped "the Cotirt" would moi. be toe
severe on him, as he was determined to
reform.
"The prisoner will stand up" said the
stern old Justice. Then the prisoner
arose.
Now" said the Justice, ."I am very
sorry you have been brought into this
Court on charge which so seriously af.
fects your good name and standing in
society; you have set bad example, and
it you go on at this rate you will bring
sorrow and disgrace on yourself and fam
lily. Isentence you to pay fine of SIC

The "prisoner" said he would prefer to
pay the fine, and then the Court closed

ly increasing the source of supply as to
the production of cahe Is rather falling off.
Cuba, torn with the horrors Of wa+, has
declined rather largely, and others of the
cane-growing West Indies send less to
market than twenty years ago. In our
own country we raise less corn than be-
fore the rebellion, while the cultivation of
sorghum has not grown to any !sonsidera-
BILE proportion. But while the stpp'y
from cane has decreased, the beet root
especially in Europe, very rapidly
come into cultivation to supply the want.
In France the product of beet sugar has
grown from sixty thousand to three hun
dred thousand tons; In Austria from ten
thousand to eighty thousand tons, and in
Russia from nothing to over hundred
thousand tons. One-sixth part of the su-
gar supply for England-nearly one hun
dred thousand tons-was from this source.
This industry has so far only been very
partially experimental Upon in America.
We have here every requisite of soil and
climate necessary to the successful culture
of beet root, and there can be no reason to
prevent this country, the largest consumer
of sweets in the world, from becoming the
largest producer of beet sugar. Without
doubt its production, when introduced,
will prove one of the most remunerative
methods of employing land. Who will
be the public spirited promoter of this
great enterprise?-N. Y. Herald.

Changing the Subject.

AN attentive little pitcher had heard
her father instruct older brothers and SIS
tiers that when, in the course of CONVEX
satlon, subject came up that seemed to
be disagreeable to any one present, eti-
quette demanded that it should be changed
as quickly as possible Some days after,
her father said to her as he left the house
Mary, papa wants you to be very care
full, if you play in the garden to-day, not
to touch the hyacinths. Will you remem-
ber ?"
Of course she would, but on papa's re-
turn in the evening he found his hya-
cinths picked, and the marks of the little
feet in the garden bed.
Calling Mary up to him he looked very
grave and said:
"My dear, you remember that told
you particularly not to touch the hya-
cinths, and now find them picked and
no one has been in the garden but you.
How is this ?''
Mary laughed and said:
"Oh, papa, it was splendid in the gar
den to day l saw beautiful little bird s
nest, and there was a great big butter
f1y"-
'Wait, wait, my child. 1 am talking
to you about something else now. Don't
you understand me I am very serious
ly displeased with you. 1 told you not to
touch the hyacinths, and now l find them
picked and your footprints all about"
"Oh, yes, papa, did have the loveliest
time in the garden to-day. Don't you
think it was beautiful day ?''
MARY, how dare you answer me so i'm
pertinently 1 am talking to you about
your disobedience. Why do you not at
tend to me? I shall have to make you" q"
Rather sobered at this suggestion, 'lit-
tie pitchers" countenance fell, and she
faltered out:
why, papa, you said that when "a
subject became unpleasant to any one, the
only way was to change it." Papa saw
the point, and the unpleasant subject was
dropped for that once''
