FooTE's DUELs WITH PRENTIss.-In his
"reminiscences contributed to the Washington
Chronicle Hon. Henry S. Foote speaks as fol-
lows of his duels with Sergent S. Prentiss:
"In the winter of 1832-'23 had per.
sonal dispute at the Bar with the famous S.
S. Prentiss, during the trial Of capital case
of much Importance. His language, though
sufficiently retaliated by me at the time, in
duced me to send him a challenge, which l
ought never to have thought Of doing. He
promptly accepted, proved a far better shot
than myself, and wounded me very painfully
in the left shoulder. We ad justed our dispute
before we left the ground. An indiscreet
friend or two Of his spoke desparagingly Of
my conduct on the occasion. I was highly
exasperated, and wrote him note demanding
whether he had given his sanction to this act
of injustice. He at once denied doing so. l
published the correspondence. He placed
such and Interpretation upon my letter to him
as gave offence He proposed reopening the
fight, which we did on exceedingly desperate
terms. He shot me down, giving me an ex-
ceedingly dangerous wound. In three months
we were good friends, and lived in the great
est amity and harmony up to the time of his
death, which happened in 1S4S."

CuFFEE IN THE>ARMy.-There is trouble
brewing in the army, and there is fear that it
will result in some instances in insubordina-
ton. Secretary Belknap says that he will
assign colored graduates of West Point ex-
clusively to commands in white regiments,
and in explanation of this he states the law
leaves him no option. Heis required to officer
colored men exclusively with white men and,
he, therefore, has no choice but to assign color
ed men to white regiments. The Journal Of
Commerce thinks that the effect of the law will
be to stimulate prejudice, and that the esprit
du corpus of the army will be impaired by
arousing race prejudces But wherefore?
Has it not been asserted time and again in the
ears of the negroes that the boys in blue
fought for the freedom and equality of the COL
ored race? 1t is coming to pretty pass indeed, =,
if the Federal troops, who shed their blood
for equality of the blacks, are to mutiny be-
cause they are to be oficered with colored ca
diets. For what was the war fought, if SOL
ders do not submit to be commanded by ne
groes?

METHOD IN WoRK.-Do instantly what
ever is to be done; take the hours Of reflection
for recreation after business, and never be-
fore it. When regiment is under march,
the rear is often thrown into confusion be-
cause the front do not move steadily and with
out interruption. 1t is the same thing with
business. If that which is first in hand is not
instantly, steadily and regularly dispatched,
other things accumulate behind, till affairs
begin to press all at once, and no human
brain can stand the confusion pray mind this,
it is one of your weak points, habit of mind
it is that is very apt to beset men of intellect
and talent, especially when their time is
not filled up regularly, but is left to their
own arrangements. But it is like the ivy
round the oak and ends by limiting, if it
does not destroy the power of manly and ne
cessary exertion.-Sir Walter Scott.

scientific journal says: The highest railway
speeds in the world are attained in England,
and the highest railway speed in England
is attained on the Great Western Railway,
and this speed may be taken roundly as fifty
miles an hour. Mr.. Stirling has run with
one of his great outside cylinder express en-
gines and sixteen carriages at seventy
miles an hour on the Great Northern; on
level or slightly falling gradient; and we
know that the Yarmouth express on the Great
Eastern sometimes has reached the speed of
sixty-four miles an hour on the Brentwood
bank. On two occasions, some years ago IN
Ireland, we ran II miles in sixteen minutes
with powerful engine and train of but
two carriages Much of the run was done at
over 65 miles per hour. On the Boston and
Albany road, United States, the ffty.tour
miles between Springfield and Worcester were
run by an engine with Is inches cylinder, ~
inches stroke, and 81 feet driving wheel, in
tifty.eight minutes. Much of the run was
done at nearly seventy miles an hour. On
frst-class line there can be no question, there
fore, but that speed of sixty'five miles an
hour may be available with safety. We
believe that it would be possible to lay
permanent way so we'll, and to maintain it
in such excellent order, that trains might
travel on it with perfect safety at 100 miles
an hour. Miles upon miles Of such track are
now to be found on most of our great main
lines, but it not to be disputed that
can 100 consecutive miles Of permanent way in
perfection be found and as chain is no
stronger than its weakest link, so few hun
dred yards of bad track would spoil, for the
purpose of travelling at 100 miles an hour, a
whole line.
LUcK.-It is the shallow who believe in
luck: who say of a successful man, "he was
always lucky" or of an unsuccessful one,
"Poor fellow, just his luck" A mans luck
is generally the measure of his capacity and
perseverance. Cause produces effect, the
world over. Water does not run up hill nor
do we gather, even in these days of progress,
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles. If we
would gather the golden grain, we must first
SOW the seed. If we would be wise, we must
work for wisdom. Riches, goodness, fame,
love-each has its price, and can be purchased
for no less. Life is perpetual auction, where
all prizes are knocked down to the highest
bidder. The worlds great men have been
those who have toiled early and late. Even
genius can find no royal road to its goal.
Goethe, and Milton, and Newton, labored as
the easy.going, fine gentlemen of literature
cannot conceive. If they were great, they
achieved greatness-it was not thrust on them.
Luck is ever waiting for something to turn
up. Labor with keen eyes and strong will,
will turn up something Luck lies in bed,
and wishes the postman would bring him
news of new legacy labor turns out at six
o'clock, and with busy pen or ringing ham,
mer, lays the foundation of a competency.
Luck whines; labor whistles. Luck relies on
chances labor on character Luck slips
down to indulgence; labor strikes upward to
independence. Y. Evening Telegram.
