Boston Transcript
"a duel on the Puritan soil of
Massachusetts Bay would not be an
entirely unheard of thing. In fact,
the first affair Of honor in Ameri-
can annals is one that took place in
1921, at Plymouth, between two
serving men, who were therefore
sentenced by the stern and prompt
moralists of our ancient hierarchy
to be tied neck and heels together
for twenty-four hours. The next
famous duel, too, chronicled in
America, was that on Boston Com
mon (under the late lamented big
elm) in 172S, when young Wood
bridge killed young Phillips with
his sword, to the great and painful
scandal and excitement Of the com
munity. Dueling was not always
under the quasi stigma now at
tached to it. General Washington
approved of General Greene's deci-
sion to accept a challenge, if the
latter thought his honor would suf.
fer from a refusal"

Condition OF the Rivers.
The river here has commenced
rising, with considerable ice from
Fort Pillow gorge passing; it rose 3
feet from last night up to noon. Rain
and moderate weather extend along
the water courses, and we may soon
look for a good stage Of water in
the rivers. AT Cairo the river is
rising fast. Cumberland and Ten
nessee rivers are rising, AT Gin
cinnati the river is falling, with 81
feet on the gauge; at Pittsburg it
is rising, with a partial breakup
in the Allegheny and Mononga-
hela; at st. Louis there is nothing
new to note. White and Arkansas
rivers are thawing out and rising,
with fair prospects Of a good stage
in each. The rains will cause a
rise in st. Francis river, which will
let the Ella out. There is consid-
cradle cotton up that stream to be
brought out. Red river is rising
at Shreveport.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A dense fog enyeloped the river
this morning.
The rain checked business on the
leyee to-day.
The landing is in a deplorable
condition, and draymen and boat
men found it very difficult to han
die freight.
"A hard rain set in last evening
which continued up to the closing
of our report. The moderate weather
and rain extends along the water
courses, and we may now look for
an open and big river. The thaw
is general along the Ohio and trib-
utaries also all the Southern trib-
utaries which have been closed
with ice.
The Batesyille cleared Saturday
evening for White river with an
excellent trip of freight.
The Illinois for Vicksburg and
Belle of Texas for Friar's Point,
out Saturday night, had good trips
of freight and people. ..
The Bee and barges left Cairo
Saturday evening for New Orleans.
The James D.. Parker, Captain
Russell, is rapidly receiving COM
pressed cotton, and leaves for the
Ohio as soon as the ice breaks up.
The Mary Houston, icc-bound
here, will also take cotton for the
East and be ready to leave when
navigation is resumed.
The thaw will let the Ella out Of
the st, Francis, where she has been
ioe-bound since Christmas,
Navigation in the White and the
Arkansas is improving.
Efforts will be made to raise the
steamer Andes, cut down and sunk
by the ice at Cincinnati.
Sid Humphreys, of the lower
Ohio river trade, has accepted tho
position Of second clerk Of the Goa.
homa. He and Mr., Ed Thomas
will make a good team together.
The Fannie Tatum, Capt. Johr
Williams, is receiving for New Or.
leans and the bends, and leaves to.
morrow evening. She will give par
ticular attention to all plantation
business. Capt. Elwell controls

What il the night train. rushing madIy In,
With numbering roar OF swift machincsy's din,
Bcn:ling and leaning now with gradual swervc,
Shrieking aagighted as it turns the curve,
Should strike forul-a wosnaus s slender form
And nurl It shapeless ont into the storm!
What il that headlight, glimmcring through the rain
That dripping falls upon my heated beain,
Nearing and growing deeper In It's glare,
Like u great, fiery eycba1i's burning stare,
ShouId, In the blaze thrown oes the rails sau-wet
Reveal helpless form that quivers yet!
What II the green foam rocking on tho crest
OF the lakes HuEky, moaning, tossing brcaet
Should part an instant, ing'rfngly and slow,
That one might catch glimpse Of depths below!
Nould 1t be lonG-a quick spring from the shore
ep1ash-peshaps gasp. and all be o'ert
'Ah! such weary, weary breath is mine.
The train has passed, the headlight ceased to shine:
1'recn foam upon the tossing waves darts back.
Losing itself in rougher waters black.
Yet am saved. What do live for stills
Only to calmly wait higher will
The rain drips on, thou9h with gentle sound;
Ny feet are cold, upon the wet, vet ground:
I turn to seek my darkened, homcward way.
Leaving It al to end some future day.
Life mistake. I gladly think Of this:

THE STElN\yAY-KNABE CONTROVERSY

The public mind In the Eastern States is BE-
ing exercised over discussion on the merits ot
the knabc and Steinway pianos, as to which
piano received the highest award given by the
Centennial Commission to exhibitors It seems
that McssN. Steinway d Sons, Of New York,
filed bill against William Knabe & Co., OF
Baltimore. to restrain them from asserting in
their advertisements that thew received for the
"knabe'' the highest award given over all
other pianos. William Knabe d Co. filed an
answer, and on the 18th instant they {Nill-
lam knabc d Coz were called on by
an agent Of AIessrs. Steinwny & Sons,
who stated to them, in their name and in
the presence OF counsel, that Messrs. Steinway
d Sons desired and intended to withdraw the
suit; TINT it had been brought hY their agent,
Mr.. Sutro, without their authority and against
their positive protest, and they had determined
to end 1t. In evidence Of the truth OF this
statement, copies we're shown to them Of tele-
grams from Messrs. Steinway S Sons to Mr..
Sutro to the effect reported.
It is, therefore, conceded by Afessrs. Stcinway
& Sons that the knabe u is the peer Of a1l
other p1anos; that the knabe stands to-day be-
fore the American public unrivalcd for its per
feet mechanism, eyenDess OF tone, and superior
ity over all other Instruments. Julius Bauer &
Co., Palmer House, corner OF State and Monroe
Streets are tile sole agents In this city for the
sale OF these elegant pianos.

It Is the hour when Slumbcr calls
The weary sons Of Earth;
But another voice now speaks to ME,
AND well its tones know

and one BY one these passing years
Come out before mc now:
Each seemed 20 short, and yet they left
Their Impress on my brow.
A merry child, cottaee-h home,

4 happy youth with glowing dreams.
And will to do and dare; y
And then comes munhood's real time,
- Its shadows and its lights;

More sunny days than nights.

BY me in veal and wo;

Be still, Q Long Ago!
sigh not now for chances lost
OF winning wealth or fame,
For eyes that soon must close In death
See hnt in these a name;
But, could have these four-score years
To live my life again.

I'd nc'er be cause OF pain.

Gnt God knows always best,
And soon hope He'll call me hence
To peaceful. endless rest 4. Z. D.
