THR DUEL BETWEEN FERRER DE CoUTO AND
Pro RosADo-A hostile meeting took place ON
the Belgian frontier between Mr.. Ferrer de
Couto, editor of FL Lr0nistd OF New York.
and Mr.. Pho Rosado. These gentlemen
crossed the Atlantic for the sole purpose OF
fighting this duel This may appear strange
at FIRST, but it is explained by the insufficiency
of the rules governing affairs of this sort in
America.
The duel was with pistols. The principals
were placed at thirty PAGES apart, with per-
mission to advance seven and half PAGES
each and to fire at will.
The toss for the choice of arms was won by
Mr.. de Couto, and that for position by Mr..
Rosado. On the signal being given by M.
Rubio- Cullen, M. Couto advanced five PAGES,
and the instant he came to halt he received
the bullet of Rosado, who remained steadily
in his position.
Comic put his hand to his right side where
he had be IN hit 1t was his turn to fire, md
one of the seconds, Mr.. de Cisneros, counted
the half minutes delay which the conditions
of the combat accorded to the wounded man
to reply to the fire of his adversary; but Cou-
to, without being in any way mistaken in re-
gard to the serious character of his wound,
handed his pistol to his second, saying, 81
don't wish to fire.
A reconciliation then took place upon the
spot, and the wounded man was brought to q
hotel in Roubaoix, where he remained under
the care of DIR. ScagGa, whom he brought
with him from Paris.

A RELIGIOUS STORY.-We did not
find the following story in an exchange,
but any religious paper that likes to
copy it, can credit it to "an exchange"
\ San Francisco clergyman was re-
Gently walking after nightfall down a
dark street. The clergyman walked
along pondering on his next sermon
and trying to get a good sensational
title for it, when suddenly he was con-
frontcd by desperate man who lev
eled q revolver at his head an exclaim-
ell, "Hand over your money" The
clergyman, who thought good deal
of himself, and of his power over his
audience, drew himself up to his full
height, which was not much, only five
feet six inches, and said: "Wretchel
man! kneel and thank Col that you
are prevented from committing the
crime which your guilty mind has
planned. Kneel, say, kneel.' The
itliotic footpad, who was quite green
in the business, actually did kneel, and
then the man of God kicked him in
the stomach and ran away, leaving
his victim writling in agony on the
sidewalk. We scorn to point out the
moral to this story.

WASN'T THAT KIND of FELLOW
During a socialevil revival in the
city of Glasgow, Scotland, it was the
custom Of clergymen to go about the
streets at night and invite any poor
unfortunate who might be wandering
amid the lonely echoes to midnight
tea party, where prayers was mingled
with hospitality. On one occasion q q
respectable and portly old divine found
a young woman standing at the cor.
ner of a street in rather an undecided
attitude. "Young woman said he,
twill you come with me to the house
of prayeri / would save you from a
life OF misery here and damnation here.

"That woman" says Professor You
mans, in The Popular Science Month
ly, :'has sphere marked out by her
organization, however the notion may
he secuted by the reforners, is as true
as that the bird and the fish have
spheres which are determined by their
organic natures. Birds often plunge
into the watery deep, and fishes rise
into the air, but one is nevertheless
formed for swimming and the other
for flight. So women may make tran
sient diversions from the sphere OF ac-
tivity for which they are constituted,
but they are nevertheless formed and
designed for maternity, the care OF
children, and the affairs of domestic
life. They are the mothers Of human.

THE LOUISIANA OVERFLOW.

The great food Of lower Mississippi
Valley is now OH the subsidle; but im-
mense devastation is left in the cOurs:,
Of the overflow. The extent Of the
damage which resulted from this nn-
prcccdcnted overflow is beginning tn
be understood. All along the river
where the great flood of 1871 damaged
rthe levieS, cicvcses have been broken
and at some places the country was
inundated for forty miles in width.
Many thousands Of people have been
driven from their homes to witness
the destruction of their property, lcav-
ing them in u destitute and starving
condition. Congress- has made liberal
appropriation in aid Of the destitute
and almost all the northern cities have
responded to al. appeal, and given ill.,
orally to the suffering poor. 1t would
be difficult to give anything like de-
tailed account Of the great damage
which has resulted from the ravagcS
of the flood. That it was vast, was
readily conceived, but that it should
involve five millions of acres, and q
population of 17S,OOO was apparently
beyond reasonable calculations; but
such is really the case. Poor Louis;-
ana seems to be coming in for y sue
cession Of ills. Worn by war, plum
dered by OppressOrs, overloaded by
debt; dcsOlatctl by the very river
whence are her life and fertility, she
presents but pitiable appearance as
compared with what she was in the
days Of her prosperity. Among the
many calamitics, curses and catastrO-
pllies, that have visited her since tho
commencement of the era of recon-
structiOn, the last disaster is not the
least. This almost caps the climax Of
her ruin. 1t is the great flood, which
flowing down Il hundred swollen rivers,
spreading desolation along their banks,
has descended into the Mississippi,
whose vast volume thus augmented
makes our mighty track OF devastation
and ruin as it sweeps from the mouth
Of the Red River to the Gulf Of McXi-
co. The broken levecs and crevcsScs
made by the flood of 1871 should have
been rebuilt and repaired; but al-
though the inhabitants were taxed for
that purpose, the levee commissioners
neglected their duties and the fool Of
1874 came with nothing to resist it,
lclugins thousands OF square miles Of
land, devastating crops wllelcon mil
lions of money had already been in
vested, drowning not only the beasts
OF the forest and field, bnt many hut
nan inhabitants OF the dcsolate.l re-
gion. Thus came the great tioo.l.
making apparently an inland sea Of
the most fruitful portion of the Soath,
riding on its billOws such spectral
ships as bankruptcy, famine and death.
We are glad that tho worst is over,
and hope the people Of more favored
sections of our country will contribute
literally to the relief of our unfortu.

VEspERs.-To the traveller in Span
ish America, the striking of the vespel
bells exercises a potent charm. AS the
usage requires every one to halt, no
matter where he may be, at the first
stroke of the bell, to interrupt his con.
versation, however important, and
listen without stirring until the con-
clusion Of the chime, the singularity
of whole population surprised i'll a
moment as it comes and goes, held in
state of petrification, and paralyzetl
as if by an encounter, may be imag
ined. On every side you see gestures
interrupted, mohths half opened for
the arrested remark, smiles lingering
or passing into an expression Of prayer
You would fancy them a nation OF
statues. A town in South America, at
the tinkle Of the Angelus, resembles
the city i'll "Arabian Nights" whose
inhabitants were turned into stones.
The magician here is the bell-ringer.
But hardly has the vibration ceased
when universal mlrlnur arises from
these thousands Of oppressed lungs.
Hand meets hand question seeks an
swer, conversations resume their
course; horses feel the loosencd bfidle
and paw the ground; dogs bark, ba-
bies cry, the fathers sing, the mothers
chatter. The accidental turns thus
given to conversation are many.

The London Saturday Eeriew heads
it's article on the liquor-crusade an
''Intimi,lation by Prayer and says:
''What chiefly deserves to be noticed
about this agitation is, that it is sim.
ply Il form Of mob intimidation which,
in any country where personal rights
were respected and reasonable freedom
maintained, would be suppressed at
once by the authorities. Ii tho peo-
pie who are now praying down tho
rum shops and wlliskey bars really
believed in the efficacy of prayer pure
and simple, they would be content to
pray comfortably at home, instead OF
going out into the streets. The mere
fact that the prayers have to be deliv-
cred in the presence OF the saloon
keeperor in front OF his door sufficient
~ proves that the prayers are dlrec'
ted not to Heaven, but 9t the persons
who ;.re to be coerced."

HEART DISEASE.
A FASHIONABLE COMPLAINT AMONG
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

In the course of lecture recently
delivered in New York, DR.. Lyman
said: "Heart disease, among both
ladies and gentlemen, is the one most
in vogue at present. A synonym f0r
pseudo heart disease is indigestion.
False modes OF dress, by crOwtling the
heart, causing it to beat irregularly.
Remedy the dress and the heart will
healthfully perform its functions. The
heart is almost the last organ to be-
come diseased, because it ha: great
work to do. Nature made it strong
and supplied it with as few nerves as
possible. Women who faint, as a rule,
have too small cavities for heart and
lungs. Painting is provision of ma
ture for the reinstatement of the body,
by allowing the heart brief respite.
When the stomach is unduly distendcd
by food, the heart is crowded and COM
plains. Good straight shoulders are
highly essential to woman. II she
possesses an erect form, woman's
heart has better opportunity to beat
evenly and BEAUTIFULLY.
"Many mistake a palpitating sensa
ton Of the muscular wall Of that pOr-
ton of the stomach nearest the heart
for an affection of the heart. Adipose
or fatty accumulation around the heart
will often render it's beating labOred
or heavy. The heart is not, however,
diseased; it is only working under diff
ficulties. Prostration also affects the
beating of the heart, causing it to pull
safe more rapidly. Strength will re-
move this difficulty. 1t is theory
with some physicians that in natural
life the heart beats only given num-
Der of times. If this bc SO, running
up and down stairs, Intense excite
ment, hurry. by increasing the number
Of heart beats i'll q minute, diminish
the length of ones life. It is well
known fact that a race horse is not
because having such q de-
mand made upon the action of its
heart, the heart muscles wear Out
sooner than they otherwise wOuld.0

SELF.-You all know how near and

ment we step away from our own con.
sc;Ousness we lose our mental grasp
upon the phenomenon Of right or
wrong. We can look upon suffering
man sick or wounded with but CON-
parative peace, because our knowledge
will not travel away from our own
consciousness. We may say, ''POOr
man, poor child, we pity thce,' but
we are so cut Off from his pain that al
infinite gulf lies between our feelings
and the sufferers agony. But let that
pain, that sickness, that dying como
to self, and low quickly the heart
measures all the depths of tho new
sorrow! Oh, what u teacher is ones
breast! 1t is now reported that one
of the victims of the Cuban massacre
offered 81, ,OOO, 900 if the savagcs would
spare him his life. The death Of 9th.

with balls, not yours, nor mine, but
his own, bound to earth, to friends,
to country, to home and its loved ones;
his was to pour out it's blood and sink
into the awful mystery Of the grave.
This was the vivid measurement of
things that made the hero try to buy
sunshine and home and sweet life with
gold. When it comes to any adequate
measurement of lifc's ills or joys, the
only line which man can lay down up

closed the door after him, showing
that he was careful; he gave up his
seat instantly to that iaine old man,
showing he was kind and thoughtful ;
he took off his cap when he came in,
and answered my questions promptly
and respectfully, showing he was po-
lite; he picked up the book which l
had purposely laid upon the floor, and
placed it OIL the table, while all the
rest stepped over it or showed it aside;
and he waited quietly for his turn in
stead Of pushing and crowdilg, show
ing that he was orderly. When l
talked with him, l noticed that his
clothes were carefully brushed, his
hair in nice order and his teeth brush

noticed that his finger nails were clean,
instead of being tipped with jet, like
