A Duel in Il Dark Room.

A rather mysterious affair occurred a
few nights ago in the Louisville Medical
College building, corner of Fifth and
Green streets. Two of the students
have been paying attention to the same
young lady, who lives but a stones
throw from the Medical College, and they
got into quarrel with each other about
her. 1t was at last proposed that each
take pistol and fight a duel in a dark
room in the college building. So the
pistols were selected, seconds chosen
and the party, when no one was in the
house at night, entered IA room and, lock
ing the door behind them, prepared for
the encounter The light was ex-
tinguished, and, at proper distance
from each other, at the word, each fired.
The gas was lit, and an investigation
only proved that the powder and balls
had been wasted. The light was again
extinguished, and again at the word the
pistols were again discharged. This
time one of the duelists was found
slightly wounded in the left arm. The
honor of the medical gentlemen having
been thus satisfied, the two became
friendly again and shook hands with
each other. The affair was kept very
quiet, and only leaked out yesterday
morning. The students won't let the
two duelists alone now, and their lives
are burden TO them from the worry

The FIRST I" Prepared" Obituary.

A RECENT French conversation" with
closed the following: 1.-The inventor of
the business of preparing obituaries in
advance was Jules Lecomte, the chron-
iquer. When Rachel was sent to Cannes
by her doctors because her lungs were
weak. he thought that she would never
return, and he prepared his article
Southern France having failed to better
her condition the great tragedienne was
sent to Egypt. Jules Lecomte kept at
work. AT last she died Having been
one of the first to hear of her death, he
took his article to the FjgdrO, which was
but IA small newspaper at that time. NJ.
de Nillemessant, the editor, understood
its value at once; he understands IA thing
of this kind very readily. He ransacKed
his money-drawers and gave LecOmte
500 francs. Jouvin said to Murger, My
brother-in-law has become crazy" and
Villemat, who was then earning only 100
francs a month on the Fi0ar0, exclaimed
That Jules Lecomte; what trashp The
Figaro issued an edition of 20,0OO copies.
Nobody could believe in such success
My husband, who was friend of Pere
Bregaud, the carrier of the Figaro
learned the story from HIM, and thought
there was something to be made there
He left Off gathering scraps of old iron
which offered him but limited horizon
and he began the preparation of his
cabinet of obituaries, which at the pres
ent time has d real value"

WHEN stable manure is exposed to the
influences of sunshine, rain, snow and
drying winds, large portion of the vol
atile elements will be removed so that
they will be the same as lost to the pro-
prietor. Hence all surface water should
be turned away from the barnyard
Every outbuilding should be provided
with cave trOughs to catch the water
that would find its way into the manure
heap To prevent loss by teaching it is
we'll to throw over an exposed heap of
excrement covering of straw or old hay
If the form is conical nearly all the water
will run Oft the sides and but little per-
cOlate through. 1t is miserably slack
and wasreful to haul ont manures into
fields in the autumn or winter and allow
them to remain without any protection.
A good farmer writes: During the
past two years more excreInent has been
produced at the farm than we could con-
veniently use upon our fields and in re-
moving it from the cellar we have pro-
tected it in the manner described. One
heap has thus been covered for two
years and its valuable qualities have not
only been preserved, but by tie processes
of spontaneous decomposition the prod.
ucts are now ready for immediate as
similation by plants and the soil applied
is nearly as valuable as the material
which it has covered and protected
Three years ago some heaps of manure
were carted upon u meadow in winter
and owing to fiOwage from the lake il
was deemed best not to disturb then
until the meadow was thoroughly drained
Several of them spread last season gave
most extraordinary returns in grass, and
the two remaining heaps have beer
opened this season and found in perfect
condition."-N. T. Herald

Romance OF a ChOrus-Siager.

IT is stated that a former valet of the
young Prince Imperial of France is now
singing in the chorus of the Italian
opera troupe in New York. His name is
Antonio Venusco. He is an italian, and
belonged to the Society of Carbonari.
He left Italy and went to Paris to seek
his fortune. Drifting with the tide, he
finally lodged in the imperial household
and became the valet of the young
Prince. He watched the boy at play.
kept in sight of him in his walks and
slept at his door in the palace. Napo-
leon III. often questioned him about
Italy. One day Venusco, returning from
a walk with the Prince, was met at the
gate of the Tuileries by a beggar. The
mendicant was one of the Carbonari,
and made a sigh which Venusco would
not recognize. The beggar told him that
all the Carbonari knew where he was
and suspected him a traitor to the
order. His death was resolved upon if
he did not enter into plot that was
| almost Matched. 1t was to assassinate
the Emperor. Venusco was Mortified at
| the part he was expected to play in the
| bloody drama, but he could not
help himself, and agreed to the
terms. Then the beggar left him
on with his duties as usual. The latter
stipulation was an important part of the
plot and it troubled Venusco, who did
not wish to play the traitor to his impe-
rial patron. The Emperor discovered
that there was something the matter with
the Princes attendant, questioned him,
and Venusco unfolded the whole plot, re-
serving only the names. The Orsini con
spiracy failed. Venusco' was, by some
of his accomplices, implicated in the
plot, and was of course thrown into
prison. He knew it could not be the EN-.
peror who had thus repaid him for his
loyalty. One night the door of his cell
was opened. A masked man entered
blindfoided him, and babe him follow. He
went on u journey in a carriage and on a
railway. He travelled for hours in dark.
ness. At length he found himself on the
water, as he knew by the roll OF the yes
sci, and was told to remove the bandagt
from his eyes. He was in the cabir
alone. The steward came and handed
him a package. Opening it he found il
contained 5000 francs in gold. HI
knew that it was the Emperor who hat
repaid him for his loyalty. He was il
England before night, out of the reacl
of the Carbonari and the police authori
ties of France.

ycart" remarked the cashier rs he
handed the bill back.
The merchant then secured the services
of detective and they FASTENED to the
boarding house to find that the men had
departed before noon. They came there
the evening previous, paid for two days
board, and the landlady did not know
anything about them, but supposed the
merchant knew them both. One at least
must have known something of the
merchants former history, as he referred
to facts, and although they did not get
the stake they played tor they neverthe-
less made good enough thing of it.
Ever since Wednesday a detective has

greatest care has been taken that the
reporters shouldn't get hold of the item.

that Il man who lay dying at a certain

company with the stranger. On bed
upstairs he found the dying man. The

pretty healthy-,ooking fellow, who was,
however, snugly covered up in bed, and
whose voice was way down in his throat

The merchant could not remembel
anything about the affair nor of the man
who said his name Was Jefferson, and ht
replied that it was all right and that III
didn't care for compensation. But boil
men pressed him to take at least fifteeI
dollars for the amount stolen SO Ions

of the denomination of 800, and tn,
merchant handed back fifty-four dollars
all the money he had, and told the wei
man to come to the store after the rest
