4 Famous Duel.
How Sam Houston's Scour Dropped Col
Morton OF, Texas.

From the New York Sun.
OF all the famous duels, perhaps none
was more remarkable than that fought near
Austin, Texas, by Deaf Smith and Col.
Morton.
About two years after the Texas reyolu-
ton, difficulty occurred between the
new government and portion of the
people, which threatened serious conse
quences. Briefly, the constitution made
Austin the permanent capital, but en-
powered the president to order the tenn
porary removal Of the archives in case Of
danger from a foreign enemy or sudden
instruction. Surprising that the excep-
tional emergency had arrived, as the
Comanches were committing ravages
within sight Of the capital, President
Houston, who then Rsided at Washing
ton, on the Brazos, dispatched an order
commanding his subordinates to send
the State records to that town.
1t is impossible to describe the excite
ment which the promul CATION of this or
der raised in Austin. The,keepers of the
hotels, clearinghouse, groceries and
faro banks We're aghast. The measure
would be deathblow to their business.
A mass meeting was called, and the
farmers OF the surrounding country, who
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-03-24

fifty. They both completed the given
number at about the same instant and
wheeled around. As the distance was
great, both paused for some seconds.
The face of col. Morton was calm and
smiling The face of Deaf Smith was as
stern and impassive as ever. The colo
mel was in broadcloth, the scout in smoke
tinted leather.
The two rifles exploded at the same
instant. Colonel Morton sprang into the
air and dropped to the earth dead. Deaf
Smith guilty reloaded his rifle, and
walked away into the forest
Thee days afterward, General Houston,
accompanied by Deaf Smith and ten other
men, appeared in Austin, and removed
the state papers.
Deaf Smith was one of the most extra
ordinary characters ever known in the
west. He made his alRent in Texas at
an early period, and Contained to reside
there until his death, which occurred, /
believe, about 1850. But, although he
had many warm friends, no one ever
learned where he had been born or any
particulars of his previous history
When he was questioned on the gsubiect
he laid his finger on his lip. His eye
was quick and far-seeing as an eagle's,
and his nose as keen as ravens. He
could discern objects miles away on the
prairie, when others saw nothing bu
earth and sky; and the savages FUSED tt
declare he could catch the scent of Mex
lean or an Indian at as great distance
as buzzard his dinner He could never
be persuaded to sleep under the roof of 6
house, or even tent-cloth.

THE GREAT AMERICAN ARMY
Good citizens give your dollars up,
And do not suffer the stream to stop,
To support the pillar SO heavy at top,
That's called the American army.

Good citizens give your dollars up,
And do not suffer the stream to stop,
10 support the pillar SO heavy at top,
That called the American army.
Our officers must be paid, you know,
No matter what the cost of the show,
And money must come and money must &C
To support the American army.
There's many to clothe, and many to feed,
For whom there isn't the slightest need
And the public pocket still must bleed,
10 support the American army.
In business neither l nor you
Would hire man with nothing to do
But draw his pay and rations, too;
But that's the way in the army.
We have at West Point an army mill,
For which we paw an enormous bill,
10 turn out a grist of officers still,
And thus we increase the army.
At Washington town large array
OF officers dress and dance their way
To the highest rank and the biggest pay,
All for the good of the army.
To help this glorious force to grow,
We must contrive a war or so,
With Indians or with Mexico.
Or what will become of the army?
It's true the war would be farce,
And that a few would win the scars.
While hundreds wear the straps and stars,
And draw the pay for the army.
But something must be done, no doubt;
The people are finding the jobbery out,
And when they begin to swear and pout,
They make an end of the army.

HOW ABOUT THE HONEST TRADEsMEs.
In conclusion the committee say
Your committee feel assured that no
language, by way Of comment, would
add force to the simple statement OF
facts attending this ora Of rcyelry, EN-,
bracing %peculation, cmbezzlements and
robberies Of q character hitherto un-
known in South Carolina. The perpe-
traitors are covered with iniamy and
disgrace, and should be pursued dur.
ing their natural lives with the sword
ofiustice hanging by the thread over
their heads. But in justice TO the hon
est taxpayers of tho State, what can
be said 10 relieve those merchants and
dealers whoparticipated in their profits
arising from such %stupendous frauds !
The testimony submitted shows that
these persons either were reckless Of
the interest of the people of the State,
or winked ~ oonnived al, or colluded
with the robbers TO fleece the people
"A collision as humiliating as the facts
are disgraceful and culpable. We re.
gret to place this on record but it is
true, and the facts as proved justify
your committee in joining with the
good people OF the State in denouncing
such conduct now and forever.

A WEAK

Home, Happiness, Husband, nnl
dreI.
From the Downieville "Messenger."1
A few days since the wife of A.. F. Chap
man, of Sierra Valley, eloped with q DR..
Hayden, who is a physician, and has been
practicing in the Valley for a number Of
months. Mrs. Chapman came TO Downie-
vile about ten days ago, ostensibly to con-
suit DIR. Aiken, bringing with her her DID
est child, a girl about ten years old.
Stopping here one night only, she was met
by this man Hayden, and left with him for
parts unknown. She left q letter stating
that she had gone away with Hayden never
to return, and desiring that the girl should
remain with ]. w. Orear, and the other
children, of which there are two, should go
to A. p. Chapman, father of her husband.
Since her departure Mr.. Chapman has sent
for and taken the girl back to Sierra VAL
ley. We know nothing of the circum-
stances which led to this strange proceed
ing on the part Of the wife and mother,
and we forbear to criticize. But in regard
to this DIR. Hayden, we have learned that
he was driven out of Winnemucca for en-
deavoring to induce a woman there to
elope with him, and are warranted i'll the
conclusion that he is q bad one. His
treacherousness has broken up a family,
destroyed the happiness of an estimable
gentleman, wrecked the life of a wife and
mother, and almost orphaned their guile
less children. We fear that Mrs. Chap
man will learn, when too late, that she has
given up home, children and friends for q
constituencies scoundrel; whom it were
base iattcry to call a wretch. 1t will be
the old, old story over again. The heart
less whelp will soon tire Of his victim and
desert her, and then all that will be left to
her will be a life Of dishonor and shame or
a suicides grave. We have nothing but
pity for the weak woman deceived. But
for the deceiver the torments Of hell iii
there be one), painted as black as the
staunchest C%alvanist ever dreamed of, are
entirely too mild q punishment. The
press Of the State will confer a favor on
their people by keeping a good lookout for
him.

Wretehed Condition of the Man
who Killed Bill Bethards.
The Carson Appeal prints the following:
Tom Flynn, the convict. who murdered
his fellow prisoner. at the State Prison in
this city, last July, Is still confined In the
subtorranean dungeon where he was
placed Immediately after the commission
VI his most dastardly crime. 1t is . dark.
unfrieBdly place which no sunlight ever
penetrates, excepting through the graf
ing overhead, and that only for .
few moments at midday. No one is
permitted to converse with this miserable
man, unless it is Captain Gonond, the chief
OF the guards, and he only exchanges such
words with him as are absolutely neccs-
sary. Once in q while he asks for new
papers Of a fash kind, to read, to change
the channel Of his thoughts from his i'm
pending doom. He reads no books that
might comfort him in his living death.
He has no relatives or friends who visit
him, and from whose lips he might receive
a few sincere words OF comfort md cheer.
In that dungeon that man vegetables, as it
were, feeling within himself that he is
alone in the world. This poor, forsaken
wretch will be tried for his life some time
before the end of this month. His pros
poets are dreary in the extreme, and we
have no reason to doubt that at times in
his solitary confinement he wishes he had
never been born.

KILLED ny THE CARS.
A Shocking Accident on the vir
ginia ami TrueAes Railroad.

ginia AMI Truckee Railroad.
The Virginia Cds'onicle of December I'd
has the following: At a quarter before 2
o'clock this afternoon the local passenger
train (No. 81 from Carson ran over q child
in the gap near the Merrimac mill, on the
Carson river. killing it instantly. The
train was coming up at the usual rate, and
entered the gap near the mill, which is one
Of the sharpest curves on the road. At this
point an engineer is only able to see about
$50 feet ahead. As the train rounded the
curve the engineer saw four children play
ing upon the track. One was a little child
of three yeavs. He blew the whistle, re-
vcrsed the engine, and rushed out to
reach the cow-catcher, hoping TO lift from
the track the youngest child, which had
been deserted by the others az soon as
the engine came in sight, He was un-
fortunately too late, and the cruel wheels
passed over the child, severing the head
from the body and cutting off one of the
arms. The train stopped after moving q
few yards beyond. The child proved to be
the son of Samuel Marchington, a man
employed at the Vivian mill.
His house wassbut a few rods from the
scene Of the accident. and hearing the
cries of the other children, he came ont
with his wife to find the pet of the house
hold mangled and dead upon the track.
The head was lying several feet from tho
body, and crushed beyond recognition.
Mr.. Parker, the engineer, was as much ag-
itated as the parents, and seemed almost
beside himself as he saw the bloody work
his engine had accomplished. The mother
was frantic with grief. An inquest will be
held on the remains.

The Exten,,op OF Eurcka.

We are struck with the disregard which
so many property owners show in selecting
a position for buildings. Should Eureka
continue to extend, as all sanguinely ex-
pect it to do, the town will be incorporated
and streets will be laid out with regularity,
and the houses which now are oddly scat
tered about will Of necessity be put into
line. The regularity with Which every
block OF buildings is built, the taste and
confines OF its appearance, adds very de-
cidedly to the value of the property, and
this can as readily and more economi-
cally be done at tile outset han after
wards. The old adage, THAT which is
worth doing, is worth doing WE'LL"
can be fifty applied in this case.
As a point OF economy it should be OBJ
served that water, gas lighting, street
cleaning, and q thousand little odds and
ends can more readily be supplied and
done where there is the regularity Of laid
out streets than otherwise. In this respect
We would call particular attention to
parties who have located buildings, or are
grading directly over the water lines which
supply the town. 1t will be found on in
v~estigation that buildings must be moved
off, and all improvements destroyed
which interfere with the water supply, and
parties should be careful to avoid any
future trouble by a neglect Of the matter.
