DUELING AMONG YALE COLLEGE STUDENTS
OF YORE.

Vf IVhEs
The writer of this entered Yale College in
1922, fifty-two years ago. In the class next
above him were two young men, or rather
boys, from South Carolina, who had q quar-
rel Their names were Cogdell and Wigfall.
They belonged to the first families there, and
were very sensitive with regard to the good
name and rank of their ancestors. Wigfall
gave mortal offense to Cogdell by twitting him
on the fact, or reporting it, taat his grand
father was shoemaker. I once heard the
late President FELTON,, OF Harvard University,
when speaking at Yale, describe the solemn
and impressive way in which the student boys
at Camb idge were formerly punished.
The faculty and students were assembled in
the college chapel when, after prayer and
singing OF a hymn, the President, with due
reproof, applied kind of consecrated wooden
paddle to their persons. When was young
the principal OF the first classical school IN
New England pursued similar course. which
was called "shingling the boys, p" from the ar
ticle OF which his paddle was made. Had the
boys of whom l write been thus suitably pun
ished at Yale they might have lived to have
sense enough to repent Of their folly. As it
was, however, they went home to South Caro-
lima and fought with rifles at twenty PAGES,
and Wigfall was killed. well remember him
as youth of full habit, with smooth, fair
ruddy cheeks. He WIS trained for this duel
by Col. Cummings, who had fought with and
crippled for lite McDufie, distinguished
member of Congress from South Carolina--

HAYS GETS Up vERITAB1E OUTRAGE AT
LAsT.-The assault Of Congressman Charles
spondent of the New York Tribune, was alto
gether of a cowardly character. Mr.. White,
who is a very quiet man, and in every sense a
gentleman, was stepping from the Southern
train, with his hands full of luggage, when
Hays stepped up and asked Mr.. White if he
wrote the letters to the Tribune from Alabama.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, he
struck White without further words, and at
tempted to follow up his advantage he had
over the man, completely encountered with
baggage, when policeman arrested Hays and
led him of. This is the same Hays who has
been complainly SO loudly of outrages in his
section. Com.

country at least, governed by despotism as
brutal as it is powerful
We say this is a solemn truth, and it would
be q very alarming truth, were it not for the
trumpet tones in which the people of the
free sections of the country have spoken their
disapprobation Of the men who have been
playing tyrants over their brave and noble
countrymen. Louisiana demonstrated against
the monstrous wrong with bullets and with
cannon, and from every quarter of the coun-
try came back voices of encouragement and
good cheer. The spirit of liberty was not
dead, but only sleeping, and was>instantly
aroused when the White Leaguers of New Or
leans pronounced their memorable warning.

CONTRASTS IN NEW YORK.

It is a common thing to contrast the old
style OF doing business with the new; the old
style Of politeness and courtesy with the new
style of impertinence and incivility; the
eighteen hours Of labor at the little pine desk
with the "down at II and off at 3" which
marks many of the modern business men.
But there are other contrasts. 1t is fashiona-
ole for the young operators in the street to
dine at Delmonicos at an expense of from 50
to SIS day, when a good lunch could be had
Tor fifty cents; a cab is hired for SO, while the
Astors ride up in an omnibus for ten cents.

A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE.

One of our friends is great believer in
spiritualism. Meeting him last Thursday, as
we were going home, he asked US to call with
him at the residence of lady recently ar
rived, whose powers as medium are repre-
! scented to be far above the average, and we
cheerfully consented to give her trial. !
Arriving at No. - Bourbon street, we were
admitted to the presence of the modern Cas-
sandra, whose general appearance indicated
intelligence and refinement Being informed
of the object Of our visit Madame X. at once ex-
pressed her willingness to answer propositions,
and calling in an elderly attendant whose CO.
operation she stated to be necessary, trance
was soon produced, during which, after vari-
GUS points Of private nature had been salts
factorily calculated, and no doubts remained
in our minds of her ability to read the future,
we asked her to tell us what would be going
on in certain room of the old St. Louis
Hotel, say on the Goth of next month"
Medium (after pause)-'I see five gentle
men sitting around green table, and about
twenty-five or thirty others writing at other
tables in the room. There is an immense pile
of papers scattered all about them, and every
one Of the party looks very tired and worried.
They appear to be conversing, but in such
whispering tones that cannot hear"
Reporter" Will you be kind enough to
look into the same room and tell US whatiFill
be going on there on the Goth of january.
1852"
Medium-"I only see some of the persons
I had noticed before. They look much older
than they did when I first saw them, their
hair having become perfectly white, and their
figures shrunk as from long suffering and
confinement. An aged clerk is reading in a
tremulous voice from printed paper some
thing which does not seem to have much in
terest for his auditors, every one of whom is
busily engaged in packing up his carpet-bag
and making preparations to leave"
Reporter-Can you follow them, say, to the
Goth of February next?
Medium-Yes, l see them in what appears
to be bread cart or closed express wagon.
They are all dressed alike, and appear very
detected and miserable. Their hair has been
cropped close, and their hands are tied to-
gether with some kind of metal fastening.
They are apparently in charge Of four men,
dressed in the uniform Of the metropolitan
police.
Reporter Please skip over another month,
and tell us where they will then be-"
Medium "Into large, gloomy brick build
ing long way up the Mississippi River
There is what looks like small town or big
village at the foot OF that building"
By this time, our curiosity having been in a
measure satisfied, we expressed our thanks to
the Madame for having vouchsafed to us a
glimpse into that dark, illimitable ocean,
the Future and as We pensively wendell our
way homeward, Byron's well known line
forcibly came to our memory:
81 had dream, which was not all dream"
