Tom Marshall.

A case in which duel was prevented
by one of the seconds, much to the dis
gust of the other, who happened to be a
military man, may be related here. 1t
occurred during the extra session OF
Congress in 1871. Thomas F. Marshall
invited three gentlemen to dine with him
one stormy, dismal Sunday. One of the
guests was an officer of the army, from
the South, who afterward made some
thing of name during the rebellion.
The other two were connected with the
press. An entertainment given by Tom
Marshall before he joined the cold-water
association was sure to be abundantly
furnished with wine. Marshall and one
of the newspaper men, who was from
New Orleans, drank deeply. They had
been classmates in college, and we're on
terms of familiar intimacy. A slight
misunderstanding arose between them
and both being considerably elevated, a
harsh remark was made by the editor
Marshall inquired if he was responsible
for what he said. The reply was,
tom Marshall, you ought to know
me too we'll to ask such question"
The party broke up rather suddenly,
and short time sfterward the editor
brought to his friend of the press who
was present at the dinner, a challenge
which he hadjust received from Marshall
with an unconditional acceptance, asking
him to deliver the reply, see the army
officer, who was to act as Marshall's sec
ond, and make arrangements for an i'm
mediate meeting. The friend of the ed
itor was inexperienced in such matters
but he was impressed with the folly of 9
duel between two gentlemen on misun
derstanding at the dinner-table, and de
termined to prevent a fight at all haz
ards. He held the acceptance until neal
the close of the following day, when HI
waited upon Marshall.
"You come, presume, on behalf o
Mr.. ~"
Eyes, Sir"
"You have been a devilish long tim
getting here"
"That was my fault entirely. You
challenge was accepted at once"
"Let me have the acceptance, then
without further delay
Here it is, the gentleman replied
But | do not propose to deliver it at al
| will not be accessory to duel betwee
two men who have no real cause of quar-
rel;" and thereupon tore the paper i
pieces and threw the fragments into tn
fire. Marshall was much astonisheC
and inquired of the gentlemen if b
knew the responsibility he had assumes
in so doing. The reply was that h
neither knew nor cared.
You have put yourself in principal
place, and | presume you are prepare
to take the consequences" said MAJ
shall.
Nonsense was the reply. 81 vii
neither let - meet you, nor will figh
you myself on any such ridiculous guar
rel. Now, what do you intend to d
about it?"
Marshall finally burst into a laugh
and in less than an hours time all tn
parties were takiug friendly drink tc
gether at Gadsby's. The army Office
was inclined to make scene, protesting
against the irregularity of the whole pro
ceeding, but there the difficulty ended

Angel of Death again thy wings,
Are folded at our door
And from our earthly dwelling now
A sisters absence we deplore.
One we cherished noao hath left us
For the home of love on high,
We in sorrow pour our anguish
That the loved of earth must die.

Happy even at Deaths call
How can we forget while living,
One who was so kind to all.

And amid a radiant band.
