B We observe that our old friends, the Lo
renz Brothers, the celebrated perfumers, Of To-
ledo, have achieved grand triumph, not only
for themselves, but for America. They placed
their goods in competition at the Paris EXPOSE
tion, where they had over one hundred competi-
tors from Paris alone, besides many of the most
celebrated manufacturers from other parts Of
France, and from England, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Italy, Turkey, and other countries. In
the face of all this competition, they carried of
Grand Prize Medal and Diploma. They took
leading prize at the Centennial Exposition, at
Philadelphia, two years ago. Since the Paris
award, tHeir goods are kept on sale by all the
leading perfumers of Paris.

/ know of but one instance of a man
having been hung for the killing of an
other in a duel. In 1880, two young
men living in Belleville, St. Clair
county, Illinois, had personal quarrel.
1t seemed to be impossible to reconcile
them, and their friends determined 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, VIM. Bennett, to meet him
with rifles. Bennett accepted the chal-
lenge, and the parties met near the vii
lage. 1t is said that Stewart was in the
secret and that Bennett was not, but be-
lieved it to be reality. In any event,
after the guns had been handed to the
principalA and they turned to get their
positions, Bennett, who claimed that
he susRected some sort Of trickery,
rolled bullet into his gun. The seconds,
hardly be able to keep their faces
straight, concluded the arrangementsa and
gave the word. The rifles exploded
almost simultaneously, Bennett, OF
course, remaining untouched. Stewart
fell to the ground mortal'y 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 most strenu
Gus efforts to have him pardoned. Fail.
ing in this, they tried to have the sen.
teRce commuted. But the governor re
mained firm against all entreaty. On
the day appointed for his execution
Bennett was hanged in the presence Of
an enormous crowd. This was the first
and last duel ever fought in the state ol
Illinois. The hanging of Bennett put .
stigma upon the practice, and it has bser
looked upon with ahhorrence ever since
