AGAINST DUEL1Na.-We learn tina
the persons from South Carolina who
came over into North Carolina to fight
a duel recently will be indicted by a
Mecklenburp court. That is right, and
Governor Vance should demand the

Let our courts pnt its seal of emphatic
condemnation on the foolish duelipe
code. McckIeuburg authorities arc ex-
pected to DO their duty in regard to the
affair mentioned, and maintain the
dignity of our laws and respect due the
State, If two or three negroes or white
men get into a little tusselling scrim-

which this is accomplished is remark

that he can impress the whole upon q

THE THREE KINGS.
BY HENRY W. LoSGFELLOw.

Three Kings came riding from far away,
Mslchior ond Casper aud Baltazar:
Three Wise Men out OF the East were they,
And they travelled by night and they slept BY day,
For their guide beautiful WOnds rful star.
The star was 50 beautiful, large and clear.
That all the other stars of the sky
Became white mist in the atmosphere
Aud the Wise men knew that the coming was near
OF the Prince foretold in the prophecy
Three caskets they bore on their saddle-bows,
Three caskets OF god, with golden keys; :
Ineir robes were of crimson silk, with rows
W nelis ana pomegranates and furbslows.
1nelr turbans like blossoming almond trees.
And so the three Kings rode into the West.
through the dusk OF night over hills and dells,
And sometimes talked, AS they paused to lest,
The people they met At the way side wells.
"Ot the child that is born" said Baltazsr,
Good people. pray you, tell us the news,
For We in the East have seen his star,
And have ridden fast, and have ridden far
TO lind and worship the King OF the Jews.''
And the people answered: You ask in vain:
We know OF nothing but Heroi the Great!"
They thought the Wise Men were men insane
A. they stirred their horses across the rlain
Like riders Ia haste Who cannot wait
And when they came to Jerusalem.
Herod the Great tho had heard this thing,
Sent for the Wise Mn and questioned Them:
A M sald, Ge 0Own into Bethlehem
>nd bring me tidings Of the new King
So they rode away; and the star stood still,
q, ne only one III the gray of morn;
les, II stopped, 1t stood still Of its own free will
Night over Bethlehem on the hill

Aaa the Three Kings rode through the gate and

Through the silent street. till their horses turned

But the windows were closed and the doors were

A MECHANICAL WHALE.
The Greatest Triumph OF Genius in
Boat Building.
Fran (assol)Sa Mooalnn

Tho 0roetoot Triumph OF Genius In
Boat Building.
From Cassells Magazine.
But short time ago the world was
startled by the deadly effects of the tor
pedo; and as this fearful engine of naval
warfare is every day arriving at q
greater state of perfection, it bids fair
before long to completely drive out of
the fields our costly ironclads. We
cease, however, to marvel at the torpedo
when we hear of the latest discovery of
scientific warfare-namely, a submarine
boat. This boat, named after the de-
signer of the "Garrett" torpedo boat
can be made to sink, rise, move forward
and backward, above or below the sur
face, at the will of the manipulation.
1t is cigar.shape, running to a point at
each end, in length about fourteen feet
and in width about five feet. 1t is con.
structed of iron plates nearly a quarter
of and inch in thickness, and the weight
of the boat, including ballast, is about
five tons. 1t is propelled by means of q
four-bladed screw worked from within
by an ingenius combination of treadles
and Ay-wheels, and is steered by means
Of an ordinary rudder. The boat is
balanced evenly by means of leaden
keel, nearly two feet broad and weigh
ing about two tons. Access is gained to
the interior of the boat by means of a
little square tower, rising from the
centre of the cigar to a height
of about two feet. Once within
and having closed this man
hole, the operator can descend when he
pleases. At each end of the boat is
placed water tank, and it is by means
of these tanks that he descends and as
cends at will. If he wishes to descend
he turns small trap, and this filling the
above mentioned tanks with water, the
boat naturally sinks; when he desires to
rise to the surface he makes use of an air
pump, and expelling the water restores
the buoyancy of the boat. In the sides
of the above mentioned tower are four
little windows, and, in addition, two
small brass caps. These are hanked in
ternally by long kind of stocking, of
stout waterproof material. The caps
being removed, these stockings fill with
water, and, by turning them inside out
and using each as a glove, the operator
gets the free use of his arm outside the
boat to work his torpedo. In addition
to working the boat the submarine tray
eler has to keep himself supplied with
pure air. The breath which he inhales
passes by means of a tube through a
kind of knapsack containing mixture
of chemicals, and by this means is puri-
fed sufficiently to be fit to enter the
lungs again. The boat is, of course,
lighted by electricity, as gas would in
crease the impurity Of the atmosphere.
A series of experiments took place
short time ago with the boat in question,
and were, we are given to understand,
highly successful. The present speed of
the boat is only four or five knots an
hour, but DR.. Garrett contemplates
building boat of much larger size, ca
pable of accommodating three or four
men, and has scheme in view for in
creasing the powers of propulsion of the
boat,

There the conversation ended, and the
merchant and bookkeeper separated.

ing efforts were made to collect the re-
sources of Worthington Brothers. But
slight success crowned the merchants
efforts to rescue the house. Friends of
past years seemed to have grown cold,'
and regretted their inability to render
assistance; and it was only by great Sac
ridces that the house succeeded in max
ing all payments up to the day before
Christmas; in this, however, the firm
succeeded, and, as Mr.. Worthington
locked his safe and put on his hat he drew
long breath Of relief. Then taking
his old bookkeeper's arm he went home

separated at the corner, he murmured:
