brings the weapon slowly to his shoulder,
and, glancing down the long barrel
which is sustained without the aid
of any rest, he touches the delicate
hair-trigger and sends a ball precisely
where he wants it. His aim is so pain
fully long that you begin to think he has
gone to sleep over it, but he stands firm
and unwavering as a marble statue, and
when the great gun cracks and black
spot simultaneously appears upon the
target he rests easily upon his rifle and
smiles significantly at the spectators.

"Ds.M EB EE.I.,s

There are strange facts of human nature
revealed by the knowledge of physiology,
and, though they may seem improbable,
they appear to be confirmed by men of
science. At least it is stated OH the author
ity of the London Lancet: "a man in Ger
tain neighborhood had three daughters.
Wishing for son, he made a solemn vow
that if the next was girl he would never
speak to her The next child proved to be
son, as he wished. But, curiously
enough, he would never speak to his faith
er, although he lived thirty five years with
him. He always talked freely with his
mother and sisters but with no one else
until after the death of his father, when he
talked readily with every one. He was
called Dumb Eli"

life. The following incident of this custom
is narrated: II knew young man here
who informed me that he had recently
been divorced from his wife; this he did in
o casual conversation, and without any of
the embarrassment that would attend such
information in an English city. Some
time afterward, had occasion to call at
his residence, and was first presented by
him to his mother, and then, much to nv
astonishment to his ex-wife, who had
called to visit them with their little dauph-
ter. There they were, mother, son, di-
vorced wife and child, all having pleas
ant chat together. When reflected on the
probable result to hair and eyes which
would ensue from meeting between an
Anglo-Saxon mother and her divorced
daughter-in-law, was somewhat stag
gered in trying to institute mental COM
parison between the merits of the two
systems"

In 1851, two young fellows living in Belle
vile, st. Clair county, H., had a personal
quarrel 1t seemed to be impossible to
reconcile them, and their friends deter
mined to get up sham duel between them,
hoping that the ridiculous issue of the
affair would bring them to their senses.
One Of them, Alphonso Stewart, challenged
the other, William Bennett, to meet him
with rifles. Bennett accepted the chal-
ienge, and the parties met near the vii
lage. 1t is said that Stewart was in the
secret and that Bennett was not, but be-
lleved it to be reality. In any event,
after the guns had been handed to the
principals and they turned to take their
positions, Bennett, who claimed that he
suspected some sort of trickery, rolled a
bullet into his gun. The seconds, hardly
able to keep their faces straight concluded
the arrangements, and at last gave the
word. The rifles exploded almost simul-
taneously, Bennett, of course, remained
untouched. Stewart fell to the ground
mortally wounded, and expired shortly
afterward in great agony. Bennett was at
once arrested, put upon trial, convicted of
murder in the first degree, and sentenced to
be hanged. His friends made the most
strenuous efforts to have him pardoned.
Failing in this, they tried to have the SEN
tence committed. But the Governor re-
mained firm against all entreaty. On the
day appointed for his execution, Bennett
was hanged in the presence of an enor-
nous crowd. This was the first and last
duel ever fought in the State of Illinois.
The hanging of Bennett put a stigma
upon the practice, and it has been looked
upon with adherence ever since.

RIFLES AND lsIFLEMEN.

Although much has been effected in
the improvement of firearms towards the
humiliation of distance for the modern
marksman, the rifeman Of to-day is not
the rifeman of other days, by a long
shot. Literally and fguratively, the
breech-loader "knocks the hind sights
off the long barreled rife of our grand
fathers and crowds it into the misty past,
along with the powder-horn and bullet
pouch; but it is no less true that with
the ancestral gun we also bury
the steady nerves and the un-
finching eyesight of the men who WELD
ed it, The difference is so marked
between everything pertaining to a rife
match of the present and a genuine
'shootin' match of the olden time, that
it would add very much to the interest

spread his face when he beheld all the
complicated machinery, the microscopic
sights, the spirit-levels and the finely
graduated scales which are brought to
aid the vision of the marksman. We can
perceive a twinkle of amusement in hi;
eagle eye as he sees the ridicu
tous positions which the modern rife,
man takes upon the ground
and the absurd manner in which he
twists his legs about and rests his CUR
across his knee, while spreading UNI
brella tenderly protects him from the
sun. And although the ancient Nimroc
