From tho St. Louis Democrat. ''' . ~

OuS uLIhCulty anu distressing event has
Just occurred in Louisville Mr. Robert For
sythe is a high-toned Kentuckian, either per-
sonally or through members of his family
identified with the livery and horse hostelry
business. Mr.. Forsythe is an accomplished
| equestrian, and Mt a recent tournament" -"
| poked off more rings than any of his com
petitors, took the prize and enjoyed the fell
city of crowning the Queen of Love and
Beauty. Mr.. Charles +. Harvey is also
Kentuckian whose altitude of tone is, if any
thing, huckleberry over Mr.. Forsythe's per-
simmon; but Mr.. Harvey, not excelling in
craftsmanship, affects to despise the ennob-
| ling diversion of riding around circus track
and poking at suspended iron rings with
fishing pole, though he would probably have
appreciated the crowning of the Queen of
Love and Beauty. Now, 1t unfortunately
happened that these two high-toned bloods,
holding diametrcally opposite views in re-
gard to the revival of Medieval chivalry, met
at the house of ayOung lady, and the young
lady herself, perhaps. eligible to the position
of Queen of Love and Beauty, turned the
conversation to the tournament, and drew on
Mr.. Harvey for his opinion of the same.
Mr. Harvey responded that he took no inter-
est in such pursuits-that nobody but horse
jockeys and stable-boys participated in them,
At this Mr.. Eorsythe reached for his hat, and
left in furious rage Correspondence en-.
sued. Mr.. 'Forsythe invited Mr. Harvey 10
call and explain his offensive remark Mr..
Harvey replied that as it was Forsythes busi-
ness. he could call on him. Mr.. Forsythe
replied that he should tlo, no such thing-that
Mr.. Harvey had made remark which was
ungentlemanly and false, and that nothing
short of u retraction in person would satisfy
MIR. FOrsythes "onah, and prevent the effu-
sion of blood. Mr.. ii. responded by explain
ing that, as he was not in the remotest degree
interested in Mr.. Forsythe or his belongings,
he could have had no Intention of offending
him. In regard to gentility, however, he had
little confidence in Mr.. Forsythe s Judgment,
and he begged him to abandon at once and
forever any idea he might have entertained
of forcing a retraction from him. Mr.. For
sythe came back at him with the lie direct.
Mr.. Harvey then sent note by "a friend"
and Mr., Forsythe referred Mr.. Harveys
friend to a friend of his own. 2-t3 nhA y
This began to look like getting down to
business. But it seems that Mr.. Haryey's
friend did not fully understand the nature of
The business he had undertaken. On being
referred to Mr.. Forsythe's friend, he re-
marked. with some petulance, g Oh, h---l, If
it is going to that length, III have nothing to
do with it." Mr.. Forsythe then sent another
note to Mr.. Harvey, peremptorily Demanding
