A Chicago paper has discovered
that Ex-President Lincoln, Of the
United States, was once engaged in
a duel which did not come of. Lin
coin wrote an article relative to the
State Bank Of Illinois, and in the
article severely handled General
Shields, the State Auditor Shields
took offense, and demanded gen.
erai reLraction, which being reius-
ed, a challenge resulted. Lincoln
declared himself ready to say that
in the article he meant no personal
offense to Shields, aud if this were
not satisfactory he would fight un-
der the following arrangement:
l. Weapons-Calvery broad
swords Of the largest size, precisely
equal in all respects, and such as
now are used by the cavalry com.
pany at Jacksonville.
2. Positi"n-A plank ten feet
long and from nine to twelve inches
broad, to be firmly fixed, on tho

the retreating OF his own sc-
cord over such line BY either party

This proved satisfactory, the par,
ties were reconciled, and shook
hands. SO ended Lincolns first,
last and only duel. But the affair
did not end with Lincoln's with
drawsl from it. The blood Of all
the parties wfo had been connect
ed with it was up, and nearly half
a dozen challenges grew out Of it,
nearly as many ss have occurred ir
the whole history of the State be-
f,re Or since.
