The Fighting Editor of New Orleans.

Col. R. Barnwell Rhett, Jr., the
surviving duelist, is we'll known among
the journalits of the United States as
the editor of the now defunct Charles
ton Mercury, anterior to and during the
war. Probably no paper in the South
contributed SO much to bring on that
terrible struggle, and few men welded
a more trenchant pen on his side of the
line. He is a son of ex-senator Rhett.
of South Carolina, and is about 40 years
of age. Inheriting from his family and
home surroundings the peculiar feelings
of honor that find redress in the dueling
code, lie has never hesitated to hold
himself responsible for all the language
uttered in his journalistic columns or
elsewhere, and more than once has been
involved in controversies that found set
tlement only at the muzzle of the pistol.
Some of his brothers have each likewise
killed his man. in duels. Personally
Col. Rhett is represented to be a
gentle and chivalrorls-a
quiet, low-spoken man, and the last
either to court quarrel OF recede from
it at the expense of his own honor. At
ter the suspension of the Mercury he
retired to his Alabama plantation.
whence he was called about year ago

Picayat1ae. Cor. NeaO York Herald.

Whipple in the neck. A general des-

fired and pistols dubbed. Whipple

that the membership of the local Oranges

Searching the World for the Kansas
MurdererS.

The american Register of Paris says:
''An agent of the Special Detective
Agency of New York is now in Paris in
pursuit of the Bender family, who are
charged with being the authors Of the
wholesale murders lately discovered at
Cherryville, Kansas. Detectives from
the same agency have been sent to Lon
don and all the leading European cities.
One of the accused, Johanna, or, as she
is commonly known, Katie Bender, is
quite young, has red hair, and is per-
son of rather repulsive features, with a.
furtive and distrustful expression. She
was seen on board steamer which left
New York for Havre, and it is supposed
that the whole family are at present
concealed in the French capital or in
the environs. Kate Bender is possessed
of some education, and is said to be able
to speak little French. If thew are
really in France, now that the police are
on their track, it will be impossible for
them long to escape detection
cit appears that the world is to be
ransacked that these murderers NAV be
caught. 1t is most singular that. with
the strongly marked characteristics of
all four members of this Infamous fani-
~. they have escaped detection SO
long"

The Code in Omaha.

In Omaha there is a paper called the
Bee, edited by Mr.. E. Rosewater. and
another paper called the Republican.
edited by Maj. Saint A. D. Balcombe
MAJ. Balcombe refuses to recognize.
edltorlally, the existence of Rosewater.
but permits his local editor to refer to
that person in the local columns. Rose
water having denounced this local editor
several times, has been repaid with in
terest. On July s, more than ordi-
nary otfensivep personal paragraph having
appeared III the local of the Republican,.
MI. Rosewater, in note to Balcombe.
demanded ample public apology. -
Ihls Balcombe took no notice of, treat
ing 1t as a quarrel between Rosewater
and the local writer. On the 9Th we
quote the Bee: "About IL O'Clock.
having completed his editorial labors,
Mr.. Rosewater purchased a common
cowh1de, and proceeded to the most
publ1c part of the city to wait for Mr..
Balcombe, sin order to disgrace him
as publicly as possible" The result
was that when Balcombe appeared,
Rosewater attacked him with the cow
hide; Balcombe jumped on Rosewater,
Knocked him down, and while upon him,
beating him, they were separated. and
the affair terminated. 1t seems that
physically Rosewater is much smaller
than Balcombe, and when the latter fell
against Rosewater, the latter sunk IN
der the weight. The most unfortunate
part OF the affair, perhaps, is that the
dlsgracefu controversy is continued in
the two papers.-Chicago Tribune.

The following story of LOST heir is
told by Tasmanian paper, the Corn
wall Chronicle About seven years
ago, in the city of London, a cheese
monger died. leaving cash to the tune
of 100000 to be quarreled over, fought
and disputed for by the reputed heirs
at-law. Advertisements were inserted
at different times in the English news
papers, and many claimant a la Itch
borne was forthcoming. The lawyers.
however, were not satisfied that any Of
the numerous claimants were the
" right men, !" and what has Just trans
pired proves they were correct in their
judgment, as the ''right man" has turned
up in the person of the deceased cheese
monger's brother, George Huntley, who
arrived in this colony about forty years
ago. He was discovered by Mr.. f.
Stevens, Victorian barrister, splitting,
up IN the ranges of that colony, taken
to Melbourne, shipped on board a
steamer and brought to Lancashire,
and then taken to Hobart Town, where
he was identified as the veritable Geo.
Huntley, who arrived in Tasmania some
forty years ago. After all the necessary
documents are procured to prove with
out shadow of doubt the mans iden-
tity he will proceed to England to claim
his inheritance.

An Interesting Game,

A gentleman from New Haven, Conn.
lately exhibited some sweet little games
for children. One of them, called the
" Fly Leaf, is done in this way Take
sheet of writing paper; cover it on
one side with gum mucilage then catch
a fly; turn the fly over on his back
stick the back of the fly on to the paper
and then catch another fly and do like
wise; put the flies close together, heads
all one way; keep on doing this till you
get the sheet full then turn the paper
over, and you'll swear that paper is
alive. 1t will run all round the room.
When you tire of this sport, turn the
paper over and admire the movements of
the flies legs. 1t will be perfect fac
sinaile of grass swayed by zephyr.
This will be cheaper than taking the
children to the country to see it.

Antiquity of Umbrellas.

DIR. Morrison, the great missionary to
CHINA, states that there is mention
made OF umbrellas and parasols in books
printed IN China more than l 800 wears
ago, and that that most wonderful trav-
eler, Layard, relates that he discovered
on the RUNS at Nineveh, in has relief. q
representation of a King in a chariot.
with an attendant holding an umbrella
over his head. In India, we also find
the umbrella has been used in remote
ages, and principally as emblems OF
royalty, its shape differing very little
from those in modern use. In Burmah.
the princes use very large umbrella,
and 1t requires separate attendant to
carry it, and his position is a recognized
one ID the royal household. One Of the
titles of the King is as follows 50 King
OF the white elephant and lord of the
twenty-four umbrellas" The Emperor
OF China, who never does things on a
small scale Gf he can help it, has no
fewer than twenty-four umbrellas carried
before him when he goes out hunting.
1t IS used III that country as defense
against rain as well as sun, and is prin-
clpally made of a sort of glazed silk or
paper beautifully painted We find
umbrellas mentioned as in use, or, at
least, known in England 40 years ago.
In Cambridge, we read that early in the
last century umbrellas were let out on
hire for so much per hour, like Sedan
chairs. Jonas Hanway, the founder
of hospital in London, had the cour-
age to carry habitally an umbrella. He
died in 1776, and it is said that he car
ried an umbrella for thirty years so
the date of their introduction for gen
eral use may be said to date from 1856.

The fury of woman scorned has be-

that it exceeds the demonstrativenes of

sas gentleman-a member of the City
Council of Atchison-who entered the
dining room of the principal hotel, where
hundred persons were assembled, re-
volver in hand, and fired a number of
shots with the intention of putting a
period to the existence of a Mr.. Mar
burg, because that gentleman had paid
some marked attention to the Alder
mans wife. One of the shots shortened
the nose of negro waiter, and another
severed curl from young lady's head.
Out of the large number of people in
