A Tragic Duel in France.

A sanguinary duel took place in
France the other day. In a heated
political discussion I; blow was given
by Count de u to the Duke of
o.. The duke didn't return the
blow; but few moments later finding
himself alone with the gentlemen who
were to act as his seconds, he took an
oath never to see his wife or little girl
again until he had washed away the
insult in the blood of the count. The
next day the duel took place. The
duke was wounded tWice-in the fore
arm and in the right side-before the
count had received a scratch; but the
duke, notwithstanding the suffering
and loss of blood from his wounds. in
sisted on continuing the fight. The
duel went on; the duke making a SUI
perhuman effort, drove his sword
through his adversary, who fell life
less. Then, pallid as death, bathed in
his own blood, and with difficulty sus-
tanning himself, the duke drew a white
handkerchief from his pocket. and
bending over the counts body, dipped
the handkerchief in the blood gushing
from his adversary's death wound, and
turning to the four seconds, who look
ed on agast, the Duke raised the blood
stained cloth to his face and said:
''You will tell them gentlemen, how

HISTORICAL RECOLLECTIONS.
By G. WASHINGTON JONES.

After the battle of Shiloh the pur-
suit of the flying rebels was not long
continued owing to the impossible
condition Of the roads. The Federal
army halted not SO the Confederate.
Abandoning all organization, it fed,
seemingly acting upon the idea that
''the devil would catch the hinder
most
The Federal lines were established,
tents pitched, the wounded cared for
and the dead buried. At this stage of
the campaign Gen. Ialleck arrived and
assumed command of all the troops.
Soon he was known by the familiar
cognomen of ''Old Brains,' which title
he held until he became Commander
in-Chief of the army.
The victory at Shiloh was not
achieved without heavy loss. Among
the killed on that memorable field was
Capt. Acker, of St. Paul (brother of
George S., a brave young officer of
great promise. lie lost his life while
gallantly leading his company in a
charge upon the enemy's temporary
breastworks. lie was a great favorite
in his regiment, and in fact with all
who knew him.
Halleck reorSanized the troops, as
signing Gen. Grant to the position of
second in command, and as soon as his
preparations were made Il forward
movement was inaugurated. The
roads were in q wretched condition
and to make them passable for our ar
tlllery and baggage wagons, miles and
miles of ''corduroy'' had to be laid. In
this way the army arrived within ar
tillery range of Corinth. Halleck had
about 400 pieces of artillery of various
calibres. all pointed at that fated city,
Why he did not let loose those dogs of
war, the writer never understood. It
is very easy, however, to criticise at
this day Halleck's campaign. and we
may do him great injustice, but if any
one has ever given any good reason
why he should have permitted Beaure-
gard to abandon his position without a
passage OF arms have never seen OF
heard OF 1t. Beauregard and his entire
army were completely at the mercy Of
the Federals and all that was necessary
to secure their capture, was to open
upon their works with our artillery
and give the command :.Forward -
But the sly Beauregard, with his
Quaker guns, deceived the Federal
commander and escaped from his grasp
without loss eyceDt his Ouakar battery
and few deserters. Corinth fell into
our hands without struggle and the
country regarded it's occupation as a
victory. Possibly it was, but if so, it
was not such victory as was calcu-
lated to bring the war to a speedy
close.
If l am not mistaken Halleck had
over 10000 men, while the largest es-
innate ever placed upon the enemy
opposed to him was considerable less.

The Moth.

This little insect so destructive in
our households, is known to natural
lists by the name of Inca, and belongs
to the family of the lepidoptera, or
scaly-winged insects, of which it is the
smallest, the most beautiful, and the
most destructive. 1t is second cousin
to the canker worm, the apple worm,
and the turpentine moth, but among
it's aristocratic and honorable relations
is the silk worm. The immediate FAM
lily relations of the common moth, are
the bee moth, the pack moth, the hair
moth, the grain moth and the CARPET
moth. AS soon as the egg laid by the
mother moth is Matched, straightway
the tiny worm proceeding from it be-
gins to feed upon the fabric to which
it is fastened, and spins itself a cocoon.
in which it moves freely and unseen,
and from which it energies in due time
a butterfly. In May or June these
winged insects deposit their eggs.
Before this time everything thatthey
can harm should be placed beyond
their reach. Before putting away fur
and wooden goods they should be well
beaten to dislodge any eggs that may
have been deposited on them, and ex-
posed to the sun and air for hours.
1t is said that brushing over their re-
treats with turpentine will dislodge
them, that champion: black pepper,
tobacco. shavfngs of Russia leather.
will disgust them, that camphor wood
and cedar trunks are free from their
visitatlons, and that corrosive subli-
mate washings, sulphur fumigations.
and the action Of heat and steam will
destroy them. Prevention is the best
cure. If furs and Woolens are careful
ly sealed up III paper cases. or put
away in chests and trunks where the
moth-tly cannot penetrate. they are
safe. Fabrics already attacked by
them should be beaten and summed re-
peatedly and the ravages will be check
ed. This little insect loves darkness,
and hides it's evil doings from the light
OF day. 10 keep it from plush furni-
ture, twice year on a bright, sunny
day, take the furniture out of doors,
remove the bottoms from the chairs if
they can be removed, and give the
cushions a good switching with long
pliable switches, till the dust is re-
moved. Then brush them thoroughly.
While the cushions are being busted
give the frames coat of varnish. Let
the furniture remain in the sun nearly
all day.

Self-Murder.

Who v as the first suicide! What
urged him, or her, to the rash act, and
by what means was it consumated!
The question will never be answered,
but of the certainty that self-destruc-
ton was practiced at the earliest
period Of history there can be no
doubt. The annals of antiquity are
full of cases; The Bible itself records
more than one. Samson, who per-
ished amidst the ruins which crushed
out the lives of his prosecutors, is the
first self-murder Of Holy Writ. Saul
fell upon his sword in his last and lost
battle, and the horrid details of Rails
suicide live with every reader of the
Scriptures. Among the Greeks suicide
was common, though usually resorted
to for worthier purposes than lead to
it to-day. Lycurgus, the Trainer of
the famous Spartan laws, in order Sc
cure their observance, made his peo-
pie promise to keep them inviolate
"till his return,'' and then withdrew
to Delphi, where, after consultation
with the oracle, he starved himself to
death, thus enforcing the perpetual
observance of the national promise.
Suicide was so common in anci ent
Rome as to be called ''the Roman
death.' Pliny and Cicero were advo-
Gates of self-murder. Brutus; after
the battle Philippi, called on his favor
tie slave to kill him, and the faithful
servitor, to avoid the act, slew him.
self, leaving his master to plunge his
own sword into his vitals. Cassius
was beheaded at his own desire by his
special freedman and Lucan whose
poetry lives to-day, opened the veins
in his arms and bled to death. Lucius
Vetus, his mother-in- law, Lextia, and
his daughter shared /. common self-im-
posed death, in the same room and at
the same time. Empedocles, of Sicily,
a famous poet of the Augustinian
epoch, threw himself into the
crater of Mt. Etna. But by
far the most famous suicides Of
OF ancient times were those of Antony
and Cleopatra. After his fatal con-
tiicts with Caesar, the unfortunate low
er of the Egyptian Queen called on his
| attendant, Eros, to dispatch him. The
loving slave refused, and at last. un-
able to withstand the entreaties of his
master, stabbed himself. The des-
pairing Roman, thus left to himself,
sized the blade, still reel1ing with his
servant's life, and plunged it into his
bowels. He was found in this condi-
ton by Diomedes, the chief eunucl Of
the queen, and conveyed to her pres
ence, where he died. with his palng
face pillowed on her dusky bosom, and
his ebbing life detiling her purple robe.
A few days later, and when her appli-
cation to Caesar had proved unavailing,
Cleopatra sat down to what was to be
the last of her many royal feasts. The
table was still aglow with the regal
banquet when the queen lay stiff and
dead, with the fatal serpent still coiled
upon her cold breast. \ fit companion
picture to this royal ''felo de se,' is
that of Sardanapalus roasting amid his
imperial jewels and among his concu.
bines Oh funeral pyre of sandal wood
and precious gems.

Raising Calves for the Dairy.

Moores Rural says: There are var
ious opinions in reference to the best
and cheapest manner of raising calves.
We believe the best results are OBJ
tanned hy giving the calf generous
treatment from first to last. A Door,
stunted, and half starved calf will new
er be able to reach that standard of ex-
cellence that it would had more liber-
al allowance of food been made during
it's earliest days. If a calf gets a fair
start on milk, it's food may be changed
to whey by adding {. porridge of oat-
meal. oilcake, buckWheat flour, or
something of this kind to supply the
necessary constituents lacking in the
whey. We have sometimes seen good
calves raised on a small quantity of
milk by adding the liquor from stepped
hay. Where conveniences are had for
sleeping hay and only small quantity
of milk can be had, this plan may be re-
sorted to; but if good sweet whey can
be obtained, the porridge or oatmeal or
oilcake will require less labor in it's
preparation and is easier to be regula-
ted as to the quantity required.
In butter diaries good calves can be
raised on the skinned milk. Almost
every farmer has some peculiar notion
of his own in regard to the manner of
raising calves; but the great and gen.
eral fault in management is scanty
allowance of nutritious food in the
early stages of growth. It is impor-
tant that the young animal be kep in

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Practical Suggestions.

Sage is grown for market by sowing
the seed early in the spring, in rich
mellow soil, kept carefully free from
weeds, until the plants are ready to be
set out in the beds. This is done in
June and July. The soil should be en-
riched with well-rotten manure, and
should be made very fine by harrow
ing and raking, as the plants aDe at first
small and delicate. The rows are
fourteen inches apart, and the plants
are set eight inches apart in the rows.
The plants are kept free from weeds
by working with a small steel garden
rake, which is better than hoe. In
September each alternate row is cut
out and punched for market, leaving
the others to grow. In short time
the plants, now two feet apart, will
meet, when, if the soil is very rich,
the alternate rows may be cut and
those left will be ready to cut after
the second cutting is sold. In this
way heavy crops are raised on rich
soil. About thirty-six ounces of seed
will produce plants enough for an acre.
The seed is sold for So pound. The
crop may be cut when in bloom and sold
and the plant thus raised as an annual,
changing the ground each year or the
plants, which are perennial. may be
left to sprout again. The average
price is $40 to $l5 per 1000 punches
which yield about $500 an acre. The
usual cost of the crop is $3.50 per acre.

affairs there are two parties, the one
that loves and the one that is loved.
Miss Sneyd seems to have been in the
latter category. She soon repented,
and in 1878, four years after her en-
gagement to Andre, she became the
second wife of young Richard Lowell

quenched. His letters to Anna Seward
were filled with affectionate senti-
ments toward the object Of his love.
He dislikes the bushes of as merchant

ON of Honora Sneyd, he obtained the
commission of lieutenant in the most

considerable time in Germany. Just

posed to introduce him to two of her
literary friends, Cunningham, the
curate, and Newton, her "minstrel' as
she called him. On the night before
the introduction Cunningham had an
extraordinary dream in two acts. He
saw in his vision great forest, in
which he was alone. Presently a
horseman approached at great speed,
as he drew near the dreamer, three
men suddenly sprang from some
bushes, seized the rider and bore him
away. Mr.. Cunningham awoke, and
falling asleep again, he saw in vision
a great multitude of people near a
large city, and while he was looking
at them, a young man, whom he recog-
niZed as the horseman who had been
seized, was brought out and hanged
upon gibbet. Mr.. Cunningham re-
peated these dreams to his friend
Newton the next morning, and when,
