A Duel Thirty Years Ago.

A California paper reprints the
story Of the duel, thirty years ago,
between John Hampden Peasants,
editor of the Richmond Wig, and
Thomas Ritchie, Jr., editor of the
Richmond Enquirer. The challenge
from Peasants to Richie was one
of the most extraordinary ever sent:
81 will be on the Manchester side of
James river, near the factory, be-
tween the river and canal, tomorrow
morning at five o'clock, armed with
rifle, pistol and sword. We will
advance and fire OH each other till
one or the other falls" This was
the substance of Mr.. Peasants
challenge. Mr.. Richie objected to
it for several reasons, among which
were: "Because it gave the chal-
lcnging party the choice of time,
place, and weapons, a right iinvari-
ably accorded by the code to the
challenged; because its terms are
savage, sanguinary, and revolving
to the taste of civilized society.
Notwithstanding these objections, |
will be at the place named, armed in
the manner prescribed, and will de-
fcnd myself from any attacks made
on me-" When the duel came off
Peasants was mortally wounded,
but returned Ritchic's fire and con-
tinucd to advance on him, and when
within striking distance drew his
sword, giving Ritchie a severe cut
on the lip, which was the only
wound the latter received. Pleas
ants fingered only a few days, and
Ritchie ended his life by remorseful
dissipation.

Tho Shah's Jewels.

The jewels of the Shah have quite
surpassed the reports Of their size
and value which proceeded their
owners arrival. The Treasury Of
Persia, we all know, was rich to an
incredible richness with accumula-
ted wealth of the sort; but no one
was prepared to see MortaAi6us oc-
ulis, a diamond nearly twice the size
of the Ko-i-noor, or "Mountain of
Light" (now in possession of the
Queen of England, once Runjeet
Sing, the Lion of Lahore's greatest
glory, stuck inside Of a mans
sword belt, and five diamonds, each
larger than that jewel of jewels, en-
echelon up his coat from waist to
shoulder. These stones are scarce
ly cut, and do not show as they
ought, but they are of surprising
purity. The Shah's sword belt is a
treasure house in itself. The sheath
is stnddcd with rubies, cmcralds,
and diamonds, shame their setting
of purest gold. The front of his
coat is garnishcd with rows of bril-
liants instead of lace. The collar
and sleeves are crusted with them
and his orders are of the most prec-
ious jewels. His spurs flash like
sunbeams. All this on the person Of
a man who has nothing noble in
micn or face, although he is above
the average height of the Indian
Mussulman noblcsse.-Berlin Cor

Arabian Horses

No Arab dreams of tying up 4
horse by the neck; tcther replaces
the halter, and one of the animals
hind legs is cncirclcd about the pas
tern by light iron ring, furnished
with a paddock, and connected with
an iron chain two feet or therea-
bouts in length, ending in a rope,
which is fastened to the ground at
some distance by an iron peg; such
is the customary method. But
should the animal be restless and
troublesome, a foreleg is put under
similar treatment. 1t is well known
that horses in Arabia are much less
frequently vicious or refractory than
in Europe, and this is the reason
why geldings arc here SO rare,
though not unknown. No particu-
lar prejudices that l could discover
exists against the operation itself,
only it is seldom performed, because
not otherwise necessary, and tend
ing of course, to diminish the value
ofthe animal. But to return to the
horses now before us. Never had |
seen or imagined SO lovely a collec.
ton. Their stature was somewhat
low. l do not think that any OF
them came fully up to fifteen hands
fourteen appeared to be about
their average-but they were so cx-
quisitely we'll shaped that want of
greater size seemed hardly, if at all
a defect.

An Editorial Quarrel which Filled a
Grave.

1prOpos to the accounts of duel
ing among journalists, tho New
York correspondent Of the St. Louis
Globe writes as follows:
How odd it would appear to-day
if an editor of the Eyening Post
should be a firc-cater! Who could
fancy William Cullen Byrant kill
ing his man on what is absurdly
termed the field Of honor? And
yet the first editor Of the Eoening
Post, William Coleman, did the
very thing. The story is thus told:
When Philip Hamilton, eldest son
of the celebrated Alexander IIamil-
ton, who was afterwards slain by
Aaron Burr, was killed in a politi-
cal duel in Hobokcn, in 1901, Cole
man bitterly denounced dueling as
barbarous practice. And yet, two
years later, he accepted challenge
from Chcctham of the american
Citizen, but was prevented from
fighting by the interference of the
authorities; Judge Brockholst liv-
ingston ordering out posse com
itatus to that end. Chcctham's
friends declared that Coleman was
instrumental in causing the arrest,
and reflected severely on the latter's
courage. Capt. Thompson, the har.
bor-mastcr, publicly stated that
Coleman could not be induced to
fight, and to prove the contrary, the
journalist (hc had no other resource
in those days. sent cartel to the
captain. The meeting was arranged
in the most secret and mysterious
manner. A well-known surgeon
received an anonymous note inform
ing him that carriage would be
found in waiting tor him at Bowling
Green on a certain evening on busi-
ness of great Importance. The sur
goon, having gone to the spot des-
ignated, was at once driven to the
neighborhood of what is now
Washington square. AS soon as he
had arrived on the ground he heard
ioui 'ohotos "hu SctIiHS Ouu VI IHC
vehicle, discovered by the moon
light, one man supporting another,
and several persons at a little dis
tance. These men went away at
once, and the man supporting the
other resigned the latter to the sur
geon, saying that he was badly
wounded, and leaving directions
where he should be taken. The doc
tor stanchcd the blood as we'll as he
could, and drove his patient to the
place mentioned The wounded
man proved to be Capt. Thompson,
who, after declaring that he had
been honorably dealt by, and re-
questing that no prosecution might
be undertaken, fell into q comatose
state and died in few hours. There
was no doubt that Coleman had
killed the captain in duel, and yet
no legal faction was taken, and the
journalist continued his duties with
out intcrruption.

The Good Reason Shc had for Rofus-
ing.

You say YOU went to the party
last night, and you saw Mrs. Smith,
an old friend, whom you had not
seen since you and your sister went
to school together. You had very
pleasant talk until supper, when you
gave her your arm and took her to
supper. When some one came
along with few glasses Of wine on
waiter and offered her glass,
you saw her shudder as she said
"Now and you wonder why Mrs.
Smith, who didn't use to be particu
lar should shudder when she said
No! You cannot tell why? l can tell
you why. You went on with your
talk and little filtration, did you?
l won't say you didn't. She was
very gay and seemed very glad to
forget herself, did she? Very well,
l am very glad you gave her that
hour of the evening. can tell you
where she went after the party was
over. She went home-the latest
person from the rarty. She was
glad it was late, for her husband
had not come home. She sat and
read for an hour, and her husband
did not come. She wrote for an
hour; and her husband did not come.
She sat at the piano for an hour, but
he did not come. At length, be-
tween three and four o'clock, there
was 4 noise at the door, and two
policemen held him in their arms.
She knows them both by this time.
1t happens so often that she knows
every policeman on the beat. They
badc her good night.
She had locked her child's room
that he might not abuse him. She
took the abuse as he flung himself
on the bed. She dragged off his
neckcloth and coat, and sat there
until he should fall into stupid
sleep. She was the woman who re-
fused the glass of wine with a ashud-
der. You thought she was gay and
bright. l know her story because
I am her minister. They have a
sort of skeleton in the closet which
We are permitted to see, and you arc
not. And when we see that skelc-
ton do you wonder that we some
times say pretty sharp things about
modern drinking, and the tempta-
tions offered at parties?-Reo. Il.

4 certain amount of cerimony
seems tew be necessary to run the

pholks get so mutch ccrimony on
hand, that they hav tcw be formally

an evening meeting, i think they
hav wore the flesh all oph from ceri-

Punktuali,y is one CRATE clement
ov sukcess.
A watch that don't keep korrckt
time is wuss than no watch at all.
Great powers are useful only az
they arc made scrviceablc- the
value Of q hoss depends upon his

a praktikal joke iz like a fall on

the one that falls kant alwuz see it.

He who reads and don't reflect,
liz like the one who eats and don't

The best reformers the world haZ
ever seen are thozc who commence
on themselfs.
He who simply repcnts ov a sin
pays only so cents on a dollar, while
who he forsakcs it pays 100.
The more person hunts for the
mote in hiz brothers eye, the plain
cr he will diskover-if he iz 4 man

1t liz easier tcw be virtcwous than

Wicked men should pay homage
tcw virtcw, for though they do not
honor her she iz their greatest safe

The man who haint got emmy re-
ligion tcw defend wont defend emmy

WHY liz it that we dcspize the
man who puts him self in ourpower,
and are quite az apt to rcspck him
in just proportion az he liz out OF

Modcsty iz strength, but difiidcnce
iz weakness. Modcsty IL always an

may be a consciousness ov evil.

A wicked man is no kompany for
