Jack had not met and made up the
old quarrel" And then Carrie, in
the most innocent manner imagina-
BILE, told about the blun1er at the
matinee which had so etfectually sep
arated Jack and .Jcssica, and which
.Jessica had told her about only the
day before.
''That shows how little it takes to
estrange people," Carrie said as she
closed the recital. ''But, really, dear
| must not sit here and gossip all
day. l 90 back to Milwaukee to-
morrow; only ran down to see my
sister, and thought I'd drop in and
see you moment" And off she
went, chuckling to herseIf-thc little
diplomatist. Miss Dora Smith took
milwaukee, in on her way to her sum
mer resort, and Bob Brisbow was
thunderstruck to receive little note
one day, saying: "Miss Dora Smith
would be at the Miss Jones' that eve
ming, and pleased to see her old
friend, Mr.. Brisbow." And Bob
went, and-oh, dear, You know how
it all came out. And that's about
the only time | ever knew of good
occasIoned by a ''mutual friend"
Perhaps we had better wait and see
if they appear i'll the divorce court
next year before we call it good. I've
told you the story, anyway, and now
find out who they are if you can.

mltted to write them up were, that

tell.

The Largest Iron-Clad Aaoat.

The Russian lron-clad, Peter the
Great, which was built after the de-
sign Of Adiutant General Popof, in
1872, was sent on its first trial trip to
Cronstadt, on the 18th of October,
accompanied by the steam-frigate
Burik. 1t started at 10 O'Clock in
the morning, and after stcaming out
of the harbor went out to sea ut the
rate Of twelve knots an hour. After
proceeding at this rate for short
time it was found that one of the ships
screws was damaged, and it had to
be put back for repairs. According
to the Golos, the Peter the Great is
at present the most powerful iron
clad atloat. Its hull is three hundred
and thirty-thrcc feet long by sixty
three feet three inches wide; it has a
double bottom, and is covered with ar
mor-plates to a depth of six feet be-
low the water-lne. 1t has two tlr-
rets, which will be armed with four
twelvc-inch rifle guns, whose muzzles
will be fourteen feet above the water.
The plates over the water-line are
fourteen inches thick, with ten-inch
backing. Below the water-line the
thickness of the plates is twelve IN

A Yale College Duel Fifty Years
Ago.

In the New York Observer of Oct.
lst, there is request for information
with regard to duel between two
boys from Yale College, in which
one Of them was killed. The writer
OF this entered Yale College in 1922,
50 years ago. In the class next a.
beve him were two young men, or
rather boys, from South Carolina,
who had quarrel. 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 Of
fence to Cogdcll by twitting him on
the fact, orreporting it, that his grand
father was a shoemaker. / once
heard the late President FELTON, of
Harvard University, when speaking
at Yale, describe the solemn and i'm
pressiye way in which the student
boys at Cambridge were formerly
punished. The faculty and students
were assembled in the college chapel,
when, after prayr and the singing of
a hymn, the President, with due re-
proof, applied a kind of consccrated
wooden paddle to their persons.
When | was young, the principal of
the first classical school in New Eng
land pursued a similar course, which
was called "shingling the boys from
the article from which his paddle
was made. Had the boys of whom
write been thus suitably punished at
Yale, they might have lived to have
sense enough to repent of their folly.
As it was, however, they went home
to South Carolina and fought with
rifles at twenty spaces, and Wigfall
was killed. | well remember him as
youth of full habits, with smooth,
fair, fuddy cheeks. He was trained
for this duel by Col. Cummings, who
had fought with and crippled for life

Clear Grit.
State Register

One day last week i farmer nameG
Wall, living near Saylorville, mer
with an accident that, but for hi.
grit and GOODNESS, might have result
ed fatally. In his field, about sixt,
rods from his house, was Il huge
boulder which he wished removed
and thought that the most expedi-
tious way and the least expensive
would be to sink it. Accordingly
he commenced to dig under the rock.
After he had got well under the
stone the earth cavcd and the huge
rock came tumbling down upon HIM.
1t broke one of his legs and savage
ly bruised the other. The spade,
with which he was digging, was bro
ken, also, and there Wall was caught
with ton or two of rock above him.
The wind was blowing tiercely, and,
although he made as loud outcry as
possible he was unable to make any
of his family hear him. Then the
clear grit of the man came to the
top. The spade was caught under
the rock, as well as himself. With
his hands he dug it loose and used
the implement so industriously that
in due time he had liberated himself,
and then, with one leg entirely use
less and the other seriously disabled,
he crawled sixty rods to the shelter
of his own roof. At last accounts
he was convalescing and happy in
the prospect of a speedy recovery
from his INJURIES.

The New York Graphic declares that
Hon, Caleb Cushing "has furnished
"brains and information for ten admiuls-
"trations, and rejoices over his APPOINT
ment as Minister at Madrid. 1t declares
that the appointment shows that the
administration has no intention of assist
ing the insurgents in Cuba to throw off
the Spanish yoke. This is the very
reason why many Americans cannot re-
gard this otherwise excellent appointment
but as a grave political blunder.
Mr.. Samuel Townsend writes US a
communication severely critielsng the
suggestion Of another correspondent who
had suggested Chas. B. Lore, Esq, az
suitable Democratic candidate for Gov

his name as a candidate, such a criticism
as our friend Townsend offers would be
out of place,

more interest than in any other member
Of the British nobility.
There is a fatality for laundering in
appointments at Washington. Mr.. Cush.
