Pres. Lincoln and Gen. Shields.
how ,hsy nsarly leaghl a duel.

How they nearly fought a Duel.
Strangely enough the murder OF
Mansfield T. Walworth by his son re-
calls the story of Abraham Lincoln's
duel. The mother of Frank Walworth
is the daughter of Col. John J. Hardin,
who saved Mr.. Lincoln from the re-
morse which would have overshadowed
his life if he had killed Gen. Shields.
Col. Hardin was a prominent Wing
politician, and was esteemed "the BRAY
est man in Illinois," He was killed at
the battle of Buena Vista, and in his
death fairly earned the distintion which
his admiring friends cad given him
while living. Mr.. Lincoln was his
intimate friend, and both men were gift
ed with a large sense of humor which
they turned to good account.
The hostile meeting between Mr..
Lincoln and Gen. Shields was brought
about in this way: A witty young lady
wrote a communication for one of the
Springfield papers, in which there were
several passages which the General was
pleased to consider as personally otten-
sive. He forthwith went to the news
paper office and demanded the name of
the correspondent, and, this being re-
fused, he gave the editor three days in
which to make up his mind, either to
refer hin, to the writer or take a whip
ping himself. The poor man was great
ly distressed. He did not like to be
guilty of the ungallant act of betraying
his lady correspondent and he did not
care to have fight with Gen. Shields.
In this predicament he went to Lincoln
for advice. After thinking the matter
over, Lincoln told the editor to refer
Shields to him when he called. Gen.
Shields was considerably taken aback
when he found that Lincoln assumed
the responsibility and as he knew it
would be imprudent to attempt to
horsewhip as strong man as Mr.. Lin
coin, his only course (without being
the laughing stock of the town was to
challenge him, which he accordingly
did. Mr.. Lincoln, although not an
advocate of duelling, did not see how
he could consistently refuse the chal-
lenge, and SO accepted it - naming
broadswords as the weapons. He had
no scientific knowledge of the use of
the sword, but trusted to the. length. of
his arm and great muscular strength.
The duel was to take place at sunrise
the succeeding day.1o Mr. Lincoln and
his second were first on the ground
selected; and finding some sbushes in
the way, Mr.. l.. commenced cutting
them away with a Ratchet. While so
engaged, Gen. Shields came up with
Col. Hardin. The latter was so struck
with the energy with which Mr.. Lincoln
was engaged, that he could not repress
his mirth. Mr.. L. looking up, at once
perceived the udicrousness---ef-h his
position, and Joined heartily in the
laugh. Explanations ensued, and they
returned to town together without fight
ing, and were ever afterwards firm
friends.

A National Disgrace.

The condition of the school-house
grounds in the rural districts. They
are, nine times in ten, the most unat-
tractive spots that one finds in his jour
ney through the country. Frequently
unfenced, generally barren of trees,
and altogether abominable; whereas
they should be made educational in
every sense of the word. We have seen
it suggested that flowers should be Gull
tivated on all school-h6use grounds. 1t
is objected that some of the scholars
will destroy everything, but to teach
them better will be part of the bust
ness of teaching. By having the schol-
ars cultivate flowers they would acquire
habits of industry; and they should,
at the same time, take primary lessons
in botany. Much more should scholars
in higher schools likewise grow flowers,
but there is little use in recommending
this plan SO long as the teachers cannot
lead the way. The time is coming,
however, when parents will be obliged
to have their children acquire useful
habits 50 soon as they can work, and
then we may expect that needed exer-
else will be sought in this direction.

The SKEPTICAL CONVINCED. - Every
advance in Medicine, every newremedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition.
But men are observing, and benefits
always make believers. No incredulity
can stand the silent argument of good
results. When DR.. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of California an Elixir that would
regenerate the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic, the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Restora-
tive of the Western World. The truth
could not be resisted. Under the opera
ton of the new remedy, Dyspeptics
regained their health, appetite and
strength, the Bilious and Constipated
were relieved of every distressing
symptom; the Consumptiye and Rheu.
matte rapidly recovered; Intermittent
and Remittent Fevers were broken up !;
the faint of Scrofula was eradicated |!
Who could gainsay facts like these I?
Not even the Faculty. Skepticism was
routed All doubts as to the claims of
the Bitters to the first place in the first
rank of modern medicines were silenced,
and this wonderful preparation is to-day
the most popular Tonic, Alternative, and
Blood Depurent ever advertised in
America. In common with other jour
nalists, we are free to add our testimony
to this remedy. 1t is domestic medi-
cine, and no household should be with
out it.-COna.
