If man sent me a challenge through
the mail, ], should carefully seal it up
again, write Removed" on the en-
velope, and send it back. This would
give him time to ponder over the mat
ter II he persisted, and cent IL back.
by friend, 1 should say that 1 wasn't
the man-that it was my cousin he
wanted to see. This would give him
still further time to ponder, and per
.haps he'd get over his feeling. But, if
he sent it the third time, I should ac-
cept, and should go and state to his
friend how had killed fourteen men in
| Alabama, three in Texas, five in Neva-
da, and dozen in other States--each
one falling in duel he had provoked.
Ii this didn't put stop to proceed
ings, I'd agree to go out and revolver
the fellow on any morning he might
name. l wauldn't go on the morning
agreed. preferring to give him a little
longer time to ponder, but if he press.
ed me five or six times more, and was
determined to fight, I'd go and fight
| him. I'd be on hand to the minute.
and as he came upon the ground
would remark
:" Mr.. Jinx, 1 have incidentally learned
that you are the sole support of an
! aged mother. l don't care Particularly
about killing you, and If you'll apollo
gize I'll call it all square"
| If he didn't apologize, but insisted
that the duel should go on, I'd wait
until the seconds had measured off the
ground, and then I'd give the rash
! young man one more chance for his life.
I'd say: .".
Mr.. Jinx, L understand that you
are the sole support of an aged family,
and that you are engaged to be married; /;
under these circumstances, and after
much persuasion on the part of your
| friends, l have concluded, in case you
will apologize, to let you off this time. !"
If he demanded that the revolvers be
loaded and the ground measured, rash-
ly rushing headlong toward his death,
L would make up my mind to kill him
and be done with it. Then, as the
vision of his aged family rose before
my eyes, [ would repent and give him
last chance [ would say
Mr.. Jinx, you are standing upon
the brink of the grave. You will make
the fortieth man have shot in affairs
of this kind. Owing to your extreme
youth, your rashness, and the pressing
demands of your friends, I have con-
cluded to let you of with an apology,
but it must be an ample one"
If he refused to apologize, would
take nay position, remove my boots, hat
and coat, and prepare to kill him at the
word. I would feel at first as if moth
ing could move me from my purpose,
but rs L remembered his poor old
mother, and seemed to hear her walls
of grief, [ would falter, and break
down, and offer him one more chance.
If he refused to accept it, madly rush
ing to his fate, I should go over to the
farm house half mile away to see
what time it was, and probably allow
the. women to prevail upon me not to
go back and shoot Jinx, but give him
little time to ponder, repent and apol-
ogize.-M Quad.

A Western Mystery.

The St. Louis Chief of Police was
very much agitated the other morn
ing by the receipt of a telegram
from the conductor of Vandalia train
then approaching the city. In the
brieftest manner this dispatch stated
that in the baggage car of that train was
a trunk emitting SO diabolical an ador
that it irresistibly suggested murder
ous tragedy; and further, that its own.
er was on the train, and the number of
his check was so-and-so. A whole
battalion of policemen and detectives
was Immediately sent to the depot, the
train arrived, the trunk was quietly
confscated, and its owner secratly ac-
companied to his hotel, not to be arrest
ed until its fatal contents were revealed.
Then followed a scene to which only
the pencils of Kanlbach and Dore
eould do justice. The lid of the heavy
trunk was slowly lifted in the presence
of horror-stiriken group, and-it is
hard to mention the fearful fact to
their dilated eyes were disclosed the
ghastly forms of six CO. Limburger
cheeses. 2 fLastlt r 's -.-'

IncrematiOn and NOn.Buried,

Sir Henry Thompsons views on Gre
nation OF the dead have been received
with open arms by the commercial
council of Vienna, who have adopted,
by considerable majority, proposal
TO establish the requisite apparatus in
the cemetery for use by those who pre-
fer this method of disposing of their
bodies. Gratz will probably follow the
lead, and a society, having for its OBJ
iect the introduction of cremation into
Switzerland, has been established at
Aaran, aud already has long list OF
members. Z .....-..: .-E -.
In late number of The Reune
Scient0cQuc Professor Brunetti dis
courses on recent experiments which he.
has made in this direction. The opera
ton embraces three periods the heat
ing of the body, it's spontaneous COM
bustion, and finally, the lncineration of
the soft parts and the cacination of the
bones. During thes first period, and
about half an hour after the pile of
wood within the furnace had been
lighted, the combustion of the body
commences: 1t gives off large guam.
tity of gas, and the management of the
reverbatory parts of the furnace is of
great Importance. During the second
period, the spontaneous combustion of
the body takes place, which, NJ. Bru-
netti remarks, produces profound i'm
preston on the mind-'' 'Ilnrg'ess5on,te
toVOnrS peSprH, ct yOuS re1ad penSif"
If the wood has been. well arranged,
two hours suffice to produce complete
carbonization. During the third period,
the air holes being opened, the carbon
lied mass is collected and placed upon
a fresh plate, and the heat is then urged
TO the utmost, with fresh supply of
fuel. BY this arrangement, at the ex-
pense Of about $50 pounds of wool,
complete incremation-that is to say,
incineration of the soft parts and per-
feet calcination of the boneS-may be
effected in two hours. When the fur
mace has cooled, the cinders and the
bones are collected and deposited in a
funeral urn. The professor found the
body of woman, aged thirty-fve,
weighing about 10 pounds reduced to
about 4 E! pounds. A man of forty five,
weighing about 80 pounds, was reduced
to less than q pounds. Preliminary
experiments in gas retorts, both closed
and witt, free access of all, proved I'M
satisfactory. .r,E ,l.g.~
An oblong furnace of fre-brlck is
required, with ten holes below, to regu-
late the intensity of the fire. The up
per part should be followed, to admit
the coffin, on which a domed cover
should be placed, by which the flames
may be directed on the body. The
body rests within the coffin on a metal
lie frame, fixed with thick iron wire.
The writer thinks that petroleum
furnace or a "Siemens" gas furnace,
would be admirably adapted for the
purpose, and like many others, would
hail return to the customs of the an
cient Greeks and Romans in the disposal
of the dead.

Death Caused by a Praying Band.

The temperance question is receiving
a great deal of attention in East Doug
las, Mass, says the Boston advertiser,
at present. On fast day q union mass
meeting was held, and committee of
ladies and gentlemen appointed to wait
on the liquor dealers. On Saturday
the ladies called upon one of the princi-
pal saloons, the proprietor, M. l..
Simpson, having refused to see the
gentlemen, and were received very po-
litely. He was asked if he thought it
right to sell liquors, and responded,
Yes, as right as for grocers to sell
groceries"
q One of the ladies then read several
passages from the Bible, remarking,
"Let us see what the Lord says" On
hearing the Scriptures relating to the
anger of the Lord with drunkards and
those who sell liquor the proprietor
turned pale, trembled violently, and
clutched the counter convulsively for
support. The many loungers in the
saloon were stupefed, and only offered
assistance when urged by the ladies.
On being led into another room he
cried several times, go God! have
mercy on my SOUL" Immediately his
tongue began swelling, filling his
mouth to such an extent as to render il
impossible to articulate.
The ladies did all in their power tc
render him comfortable, and a physi
clan was sent for, who on arriving pro
nouncad it case of apoplexy, and in 6
short time the man died. The deatl
created an extense excitement.

A Happy Home,

Some discouraged wives fancy they
do nothing worthy when they only
make good and happy home. For
such we quote the following paragraph
from an exchange cit takes good
deal of brains to keep house, to make a
home, even if you don't do the manual
labor. The woman who makes a per-
feet one puts into the work probably
enough talent to have made fortune.
Buff she prefers the latter result, she
had best not marry. She may be able
to do other things better, more profit
ably, but very few of us in this world
get into just the place or have just the
work we want. There is no tonic bet
ter than the consciousness that one
amounts to something. But we are
sorry for the woman who thinks she
does not because she only keeps
house FifJsadi3G "a saa.a0 .F-

Shot at a Bar,

The Nashville Republican Banner
gives the following account of the
shooting of young Breckinridge, Of
Danville, KY, by John L. Anderson,
at saloon in Lebanon, Tenn: cit
seems that Anderson, Breckenridge, and
Leroy Settle were standing in company
on the street talking. Anderson re.
marked to Breckinridge that he wanted
to use his umbrella. Breckinridge re-
piled that as it was raining he would
want to use it all day himself. Ander-
son then took the umbrella from Breck-
inridge's hand and prepared to leave
with it, which action induced angry
words from both parties. Mr.. Settle
here remarked to Breckinridge to let
him (Anderson) have it, and he would
see that it was returned. After this
little alteration, the difficulty was or
seemed to be amicably adjusted. Later
in the evening the two men entered n
billiard saloon and played game or
two. Still later, or about l o'clock A,
NJ, they entered a saloon and called
for drinks for themselves and another
gentleman. The third party and
Breckinridge had been handed beer,
when Anderson called for wine. As the
bartender turned to supply his demand,
Anderson drew pistol and shot Breck-
lnridge, mortally wounding him, the
ball entering just above the right eye
and causing a portion OF his brain to
protrude. Breckenridge fell instantly.
The bartender attempted to pass from
behind the counter to the assistance oil
the wounded man, when Anderson pre-.
sented a pistol, at the same time order,
ing another drink of wine. This The
bar-keeper gave him, and started again
toward Breckinridge. Anderson order
ed him back again, this time demand
ing a cigar, which was given him, anG
then Anderson walked out of the
saloon. After Anderson left the saloor
the bar-keeper procured assistance ani
conveyed Breckinridge to his boarding
place. "f.r EE.E T.F E--

rses,a.A Newspaper.

The newspaper, is the chronicle Of
civllization-the common reservoir into
which every stream pours its living wa

and drink. 1t is the newspaper that
gives to. liberty its practical life, it's
constant observation, its perpetual Wig
ilance, its unrelaxing activity. The
newspaper informs legislation of public
opinion, and it informs the people of
the acts of legislation. = - And
this is not ALL The newspaper teens
with the most practical morality in it's
reports of crimes and punishments you
find daily warning against temptation;
not case in q police court, not-a single
trial of wretohed outcast or a trem-
bling felon, that does not preach to us
the awfnl lesson how imprudence leads
to error, how error conducts to guilt,
how guilt reapss its bitter fruit of an
guish aud degradatioIr The newspaper
is the faniliar bond that binds togeth-
