A Paris letter makes the Gambetta duel
seem more of farce than it was at first be-
lieyed to- be. 1t is even suggested that the
seconds were chosen for the length of their
legs. that the famous thnty-fve PAGES might
be as long as possible. The fight took
place on foggy morning, and NJ Gambetta's
antagonist chose the weapons with which he
is most unskilful. If these distinguished
duellists had set about making the ordeal Of
honor ridiculous, they could not have done
more to bring it into dIscredit.

A book-buyer who considers himself aggreved
demonstrates against what he Says is practice
rather sharp OF tine book auctoneers. Preyioss to
recent interesting sale, he left an order for work
limited to 50 per volume. When the auctioneer
reached the work, he SAID: Gentlemen, have an
offer of S3 a volume on this book how much more
will Won glvcp The lot consequently was lost
All We have to say OF tins by no
means rare instance is that the auc-
tionccr clearly violated his agreement with
the person who employed him to bid, and whose
agent he legally was He was not empowered to an
nOunce a starting price; his business was to buy
the book rs cheaply possible for the person who
instructed him. lie was TO offer not more than SD
per volume, but that did not affect his obligation to
offer less. III had proceeded in the same way in
selling valuable piece Of real estate, he might have
found himself involved in a lawsuit with right
smart chance OF losing it.

remarkable increase but there is inter

This IS that ia the five Republican counties OF the
district the negro vote was VIGOROUSLY larger aud

that the apparent reduction was caused by the
throwing out of Republican ballots which were

increased, was, by the testimony Of eye-witnesses,
actually smaller than IN 1876. The figures them
selves proved fraud but these facts drive the nail

complete success, ard was universally regarded
as the attraction of the evening. Mrs farley
