4 FRESCHMAN's REASONS FOR NOT ENGAGING

A EREECHMAN'S REASONS FOR NOT ENGAGING
N DUEL,-[Fl ON Paris letter.l-A good
deal of laughter has greeted the following
letter, which is said to have been written in
these circumstances Two well known
young men had quarTelled about some tri1e.
Cards had been exchanged; seconds sum-
moned duel arranged. At daybreak the
morning of the fight the challenged princi-
pal received this letter from the challenger
My Dear Sir and Dear Adversary,-I have
two objections to the duel which over.
obliging friends have arranged between us.
My first objection is, / am afraid of hurting
you. My second objection Is, am afraid
you will hurt ME. really can't see what
earthly advantage it would be to ME to put
ball into your body, even were to lodge
it in the most fleshy part of your back. /
could not make any, the least, culinary
use of you, after death, for you are neither
rabbit nor turkey; besides, am
not q cannibal, and do not feed on human
flesh. Wherefore, then, should kill man
whom can put to no sort of use? Beef is
great deal better, for while.I am quite sure
yours is tender and delicate, am afraid it
lacks that firmnesS which takes. salt, and ]
am sure it would not keep long. AS for my
self, confess have decided objections to
putting myself in the path Of u dangerous
projectile. ! am downright frightened to
think you might bit me, and feel prudence
requires me to keep indoors at the time
appointed by our over-obliging friends for
you to shoot your pistol. If you persist in
your within Of trying your pistols, obiige
Inc by taking for your mark some object OF
nearly my dimensions-tor instance, the
trunk Of "a tree. You will find plenty of
them in the Bots dc Bologna. If you hit it,
drop me a line to let NE know, and will
instantly confess that had I stood in the
trees place you would have hit me too.
Accept, my dear sir and dear adversary, as
surances of MY most distinguished consider.

Orr New TERRITORY New York W0rtd.J
The territory which has just been ceded TO
the United States by the Wahpeton and Sis
seton Sioux and Cat Heads is q tract bounded
on the east 10y the Red river, and extending
from line near Lac Traverse to within lew
miles of Devils Lake, an area 100 miles long
and 100 miles wide-that is, l5,0OO square
miles, or nearly ZOO, 900 acres. On the 10th
of September last the commissioners APP
pointed to arrange terms OF agreement Win
the Indians came to all understanding with
them, and the agreement having been SUBJ
mitted to the Indian Department was ap-
proved and submitted to Congress. which,
on February 14tb. appropriated $4,000 for
the purchase of the land, provided certain
amendments should be acceded to by the In
dians. THIS again made it necessary to refer
the matter TO the commission, which on the
I'd of this month succeeded i'll making salts
factory arrangements with the Indians on
the Lac Traverse reservation, and with the
Devils Lake Indians on the 18th. Eighty
thousand dollars are to be paid yearly TO the
Indians for ten years, but not IN the old way,
for the sum will be invested in stock, agrl-
cultural implements, clothing, supplies, &c.,
and PAYABLE only when it Is earned, the OBJ
ject being to ciyilize and make them SELF
supporting. The system, however, IL a
rather intricate one, and may possibly give
rise to abuses like those of which the Indians
have long complained.

Her SPRING Harlow THE Average
WOMAN CONSTRUCTS HER HEAD-GEAR.-TMax
,Adeer, in the Saturday Eoentng Post.l-A
woman who is considering the matter OF her
spriug hat is al interesting subject for con-
temptation. First she buys straw frame
that looks as if it had been struck by aThur-
ricane and then sat down ON by an entire
coroner's jury. After that, when she rides
I'm q street-car, she drinks in the details of
every spring hat that enters, and learns them
all by heart, and does mental sums over The
cost Of the ribbon, and makes up her mind
10 have flowers In hers like those worn by
the woman in corner, and lace like that
yaudy-looking creature in the middle.
And when she walks down the street
and studies all the hats that come along.
and when a woman passes her with one
On, she twists her neck around to see how
il looks behind, and is Disguised to see that
the woman is also dislocating her neck, to
See how she trims her hat. When she ar
riyes in front of millinery store she fingers
until she has analysed all the spring hats in
the window, and she determines to trim hers
nineteen different ways, and decides not to
lave flowers like the woman who sat i'm the
corner. Then she shoots into the store and
asks TO "sec hats" with the air of person
VINO has whole female seminary TO rig out
with eighty-dolar head-gear. She exam
ines every hat in the establishment, over
hauls ten bushels of flowers, gets about
twenty dollars worth of work out of tue
saleSwoman, and then says she will .look
further" Then she goes home with
her mind fixed on thirty:eight or nine diff
ferent styles IN which she wants to trim her
hat. After awhile she begins to think She
ought to have feather in it, and she passes
TWO or three sleepless nights trying to de.
eide whether to put one on or not. Al Inst
she resolves she will. Then she es5awake
for two more nights endeayoring to deter.
