Perhaps the most remarkable duel ever
fought took place in 1903. 1t was peculiarly
French in its tone, and could hardly have oc-
Cured under any other than French state of
society. M. lie Grandpre and NJ. le Pique
had quarrel arising out of jealousy con-
corning lady. They agreed to fight duel
to settle their respective claims; and, in order
that the heat of angry passion should not in
terfere with the polished elegance of the pro-
ceeding, they postponed the duel for month,
the lady agreeing to bestow her hand on the
survivor of the two, if the other was killed;
at all events, this was inferred by the two men,
ii not actually expressed. The duelists were
to fight in the air. Two balloons were con-
structed exactly alike. On the day denoted
LIE Grandpre aud his second entered the
car of one balloon, LIE Pique and his second
that of the other; it was in the garden
of the Tuileries, amid an immense concourse of
spectators. The gentlemen were to fire, not
at each other, but at each others balloon. in
order to bring them down by the escape of
gas and, as pistols might hardly have served
this purpose, each aeronaut took blunder-
buss in his car. At the given signal the ropes
that retained the cars were cut. and The
balloons assembled. The wind was moderate,
and kept the balloons at about their original
distance of eighty yards apart When half
mile above the surface of the earth, a precon-
certed signal for firing was given. NJ. le
Pique fired but missed. NJ lie Grandpre fred
and sent ball through LIE Pique's balloon.
The balloon collapsed, the car descended with
frightful rapidity, and LIE Pique and his second
were dashed to pieces LIE Grandpre contin
ued his ascent triumphanty, and terminated
his aerial voyage successfully.

GRAND TRANSFORMATION SCENES IN THE
UNITED STATES. By H. Fuller, editor Of
the Cosmopolitan; author of "Belle Brit.
tains Letters" etc. New York: G. w.
Carleton Co.. London: The Cosmopoli.
tan, III Strand. From r. G. Eyrich, 1870
Canal street.
Under this very peculiar title, we have a
series of chapters, written for the Cosmopoli-
tan, by its editor, describing the changes that
strike him on returning to the United States
after an absence of thirteen years, from 1861
to 1874.
Col. Fuller will be remembered by some as
associate editor of the New York Mirror, at a
time when its sanctum was illuminated by
such lights as Halleck, Morris, Willis, Louis
Gaylord Clark, and others "whose places
know them no more" His sketches are fresh
and sparkling, and deal with such recent
topics as the Civil Rights Bill, +" "Cuban Re-
cognition," the "Beecher Scandal" s'Third
Term Question" etc.
W1LDMooR. novel By Florence Burckett.
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co.
From r. G. Eyrich, 100 Canal street.
A curiously fascinating story, quantity odd
and old-fashioned, yet strikingly new and
original. The plan of construction is pecu-
liar, and quite effective, though not attractive
in itself-alternate chapters of journals writ
ten by the three principal parties to the story.
The volume is affectionately inscribed to Mrs
Anna Peyre Dinnies, ga poetess of the
Southland" and bids fair to become popular.

OF Emile Gaborian. Author of {" Within

Co. From r. G. Eyrich, 100 Canal street
This is vigorous delineation of some of
the sensational features of modern French
society, written in the absorbing style for
which Gaborian is SO we'll known. He be-
longs to the school of writers by whom vice
eilded and all its responsiveness polished off,
while virtue is made to appear tame and I'M
attractive His plots are we'll constructed
and thoroughly dramatic, his characters
strongly drawn, but the moral effect is bad.

WINTER SONG.

GENERAL KAUTz AND PARTY's VIsIT.- Brevet Major General Kautz commanding this Department and Lieut.. Anderson of his staff, Mrs Kautz and Miss. Hitchcock, ar rived here Nov. Is. After brief stay, the General, accompanied by Lieut.. Anderson, Major Lord and Mir Thomas Ewing, made a trip to Grant and Bowie, inspected those posts and returned here last Monday eve ming. Before this inspection trip, he held a reception in Tucson, when the citizens gen. orally called to pay their respects entertain ments at Lowell and in town were gotten up.
 Wednesday evening of this week, Dr. and Mrs. c. H. Lord gave an entertainment in honor of General and wife, that was pro- nounced by all present to have been elegant and one of the most enjoyable of the season, in which most of the prominent gentlemen and ladies of Tucson participated.
 Last evening, Mr. Thos. Ewing gave so- cial dancing garty at the Palace Hotel in honor of the General and Mrs. Kautz. Mir. Ewing never does anything by halves, but exerts himself to excel, and his effort last night was a grand success and was so pro- nounced by the many ladies and gentlemen present.
 The General has left decidedly favorable impression on the minds of our people, re- garding both his ability and purpose to use the troops at his command to the best ad- vantage for the Territory. We think his vist has done good, and that the influence of it will be generally beneficial. Tucson Cit izen Dec 4th.

PROF. POWELL ON ARIZoNA.-A New York correspondent says: "Maj IT Powell's remarkable discoveries in the ancient and pre-aboriginal Province of Tusayan, in Ari- zona, will be published by Scribner < Co.,, in their magazines for December. The stone cities in which those strong survivors of high antiquity still live, in the heart ofthe wilder ness, are fully described and illustrated, to- gether with their domestic and political manners and customs, and their polytheism and mythology and ceremonies-to which no man of modern civilization was ever before admitted. Altogether nothing so curious and wonderful in its line has appeared since the exploration of Central America.

JUDaE DUREIL's EscApE--The Republican
faction in the House buried Judge Durell to-
day, and in doing. SO gave the Administration
party and the Kellogg government one Of the
severest blows it has received for some time.
The Judiciary Committee reported back the
resolutions OF impeachment, and asked that
they be laid upon the table. The opinion Of
The committee was unanimous that the famous
midnight order which set up the Kellogg gov
eminent was sufficient grounds for impeach-
ment, and that the evils existing in the State
to-day are directly traceable to it. Even Bat
Ter was forced to admit this. Tremsine de-
clared that it resembled military command
rather than judicial decision. Mr. Niblack
= oontended that Durell was still liable to i'm
peachment but by party vote he was per-
mitted to escape the punishment he SO richly
deserves. - Washington Correspondent Courier
