The Rhett.COoIey Duel.

The immediate cause of the duel be-
tween Col. r. b. Rhett, editor of the
New Orleans Picdyute, and Judge w.
III. Cooley, resulting in the death of the
latter, was the publication of card in
the New Orleans papers by Cooley, of
which the following is the closing para
graph
"Col. Rheto having written to the
Picdyune that l made assertions to the
jury which were malicious and willfully
false, and having subsequently refused
my fair, honest and honora lie offer to
decide which of us is correct, publish
him to the people of New Orleans as an
unmitigated calumniator, deliberate
and willful falsifier, an artful dodger,
and withal, Thoroughbred bragg
CART.
This was Immediately followed by a
challenge from Rhett. Cooley, having
the choice of weapons, named double
barreled shot-guns, and the distance
forty PAGES. At the second fire he fell
dead, shot through the heart.

Suggestions for Summer.

1t lis of great i'm portance that the system should
be in a vigorous condition when the hot weather
commences. Tho effects Of a high temperature
upon enfeebled frame are always more less
disastrous The loss Of substance and the declen-
sion Of nervous power, occasoned by excessive
heat, only be compensated by the active,
healthful and regular exercise of all the bodily
functions by which the waste of nature is replen-
ished and the vital energies renewed. The great
utility OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters . means
OF toning, invigorating and regulating the organs
Of the body, is universally acknowledged As
tonic it stimulates the tagging appetite and accel
crates dgestion as corrective it neutralizes
acidity Of the stomach and relieves hatulency; as
an Alternative and mild aperient it regulates the
liver and the bowels; an snodyue it promotes
parts irmness and elasticity to the relaxed and
trembling nerves, and as blood depurent it puri
fies the vital stream. The value of such specific
the weak and de bill itaed is beyond all estimate.
To invslids wiled down by the sultry heat OF mid
summer, it is as refreshing and vitalizing as the
cool night dew to the n-scorched flowers. Com

and wherever the natura al conditions are conducive

guard against malarIous infection, and the speedi-
est remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers.

Artificial Gems.

No other gem, says writer in lip
pfncot for June, has been counterfeited
with such perfectian as the emerald !;
and, in fact, it is utterly impossible to
distinguish the artificial from the real
gems by the aid of the eye alone even
the little flaws which lull the suspicious
of the inexperienced are easily pro-
duced by the dextrous blows from the
mallet of the skilled artisan. Not only
emeralds, but most of the gems and
precious stones are now initiated with
snch consummate skill as to deceive the
eye, and none but experts are aware of
the extent to which these fictitious gems
are worn in fashionable society, for
oftentimes the wearers themselves i'm
agine that they possess the real stones
There is not one jeweler in thousand
who is acquainted with the physical
properties of the gems, and very few
can distinguish the diamond from the
white zircone or white topaz, the en-
erald from the tourmaline of similar
hue, the sapphire from the iolite. or the
topaz from the Bohemian yellow quartz.
Jewellers are governed generally by
sight, which they believe to be infallible,
while hardness and specific gravity are
the only sure tests. Artificial gems re-
vealing in beauty of color the most
brilliant and delicately tinted of the
production of nature are now made at
Paris and other European cities. The
establishments at Septmoncel in the
Jura alone employ thousand persons,
and fabulous quantities of the glitter
ing pastes are made there and sent to
all parts of the world.

Prevention Of SunstrOke.

The true preventive of sunstroke will
be found in the copious use of cold
water, as it is also the best restorative
after a sunstroke has occurred. This
sad affiiction for humanity, so common
every year in New York, is simply the
fruit of carelessness. 1t is needless
that it should occur. Take handker-
chief, dip it in cold water, and wiring it
out. This placed in the crown of the
hat, and its moisture renewed from time
to time, will be found an effectual pro-
lection. A sponge would answer equally
well, and would keep moist longer
Persons necessarily exposed to the rays
of the sun in summer should drink q
glass of water from time to time, and
also battle the hands and face in cold
water. Were these directions generally
followed, sunstrokes would be almost
unknown.-Ne,O York Tribune.

Mail reports give some interesting de-
tails of the fatal accident to the aeronaut
La Mountain, at Ionia, last Friday His
balloon was what is known as a hot air
one, and was simply filed with rarifed
air, and not gas. The canvass had
somewhat of a worn appearance, as if
the worse for being filed with heated
air too often. At the summit, where
the canvas was sewn together, block
some ten or twelve inches in diameter
was fastened, and through hole in this
six guy ropes were secured, hanging
down over the sides of the balloon,
being at the bottom some seventeen feet
apart, and these were tied to the basket
by the Professor himself. There were
no ropes running around the balloon
horizontally to keep the guy ropes from
slipping, or to prevent the whole thing
from sliding out between the ropes with
a gust of wind. At 3:55 p. m the Pro-
lessor stepped into the basket, and the
balloon took shoot up almost perpen-
dicularly, with the Professor swinging
his hat to the crowd, all apparently en-
joying the sight. In few moments
more, however, the mouth of the bal
three times, then to pass between the
ropes, careening over on one side, when
the ropes broke out from their fastening
at the top, and the fall commenced.
La Mountain was noticed to be apparently
making some effort to get the basket
above him, and if possible to break the
fall but after the first struggle he fell
so rapidly that nothing could be dis
tinguished but the falling body, his hat
coming after him, about 100 feet or
more behind, the old canvas, almost
collapsed, falling down gradually. The
body struck the ground half dozen
feet from the northwest corner of the
Jail building. 1t struck with such
terrible thud that it Jared the ground
for fifty yards around, and made an in
DENTON in the solid ground eight inches
III depth. There was scarcely a bone
in the whole body not broken into frag-
ments. 1t was as limp as a rag. There
were very few fractures of the skin, ex-
cept the right foot, the bone of the
right leg being driven through the bot
tom of the foot.
The body was laid out on couch, a
circle was formed, and procession
of all who wished to view the remains
passed around. The Professor was a
brother of the celebrated aeronaut who
died two or three years ago. This ones
name was Edward La Mountain. He was
a jeweler by trade, and lived in Brook
lyn in this State. He had said just be-
fore he went up that he wished to take
the train for home as soon as possible
after coming down, as his wife was very
sick. He himself had not had his clothes
off for ten days.
There were from 10000 to $1,000 peo-
pie who witnessed this horrible tragedy.
He was seen by people four miles from
the city at an angle of thirty-five degrees.
| The best estimates make the height
from which he fell from 1000 to ], 800
feet Those who were on the hill back
of the town said the strangest sight was
to witness the balloon swaying back and
forward like field of wheat moved by
! the wind.

"QUIz. The word "quiz, to make
fun of or poke fun at a person, was the
coinage of n theatrical manager in Dub
lin, who, at drinking party with his
friends one Saturday night, when the
conversation turned upon the subject of
words, offered to bet the wine that he
could then and there coin word which
would be in the mouths of all Dublin
the next day. The bet was taken, and
the party dispersed, the manager called
up his call-boys and runners, gave them
pieces of chalk, and ordered them to
run all over the city, chalking the word
"quiz" on every door, shutter, and
fence they came to. This was done,
and, as matter of course, the new
word was in everybody's mouth the next
day. The manager won his bet, and
his word is now in all respectable die
tionaries.

A French colonel is advocating the
abolition of military bands. We sus-
pect that he has no music in his soul.
If any one thinks that military bands
should be abolished, he need only to
witness the magical effect on tired
marching column of the sudden striking
up of striking air to change his mind.
The music instantly drives all thought
of knapsack, dust and aching limbs out
of the soldiers mind, and reinvigorates
him better than any liquid stimulant
can. Nothing so well keeps the soldier
in hand and in good spirits on the
march as music. 1t is a valuable adj
junct of the service, and is worth more
than it costs.

Hope for the Imprisoned Communists

There is an unexpected ray of leniency
in the hitherto unbroken severity with
which the MacMahon Government has
treated those whom it regarded as politi-
cal opponents. A Paris dispatch states
that the President intends to ask the
Commission of Pardons to remit the
sentences of those Communist prisoners
whose behavior has been unexception-
able since their conviction. M. Theirs
has incurred much and just odium by
the unnecessary rigor he displayed in
the treatment of the Paris insurgents,
and MacMahon's leniency is therefore
no less commendable than polite.
These men have now been immured for
months and months, and having long
since ceased to be either terror or a
power in France, the prolongation of
their punishment would be wanton
crua1fy
