Reader if you have a good, live
advertisement running in your 10
cal paper, you have hundreds of
servants out at work for you,
work or sleep, whether you be sick
or well. No monarch's slaves ever
scattered at his bidding SO fleetly or
faithfully, or in such bewIlderIng
numbers, as the literary messengers
that bear your individual word to
the people. And though the times
are hard and but little is doing,
these servants are sowing good
seed and the harvest will be rich
and abundant. Mark what we tell
you. The man who advertises now
will reap the harvest in the spring.

The Flrst Duel ut Philippopolis.
TPall Mall Gazettel

A duel which took place the other day
at Philippopolis excited intense interest
among the inhabitants, being the first
duel Philippopolis has ever known since
it has been city. The combatants were
Russian artillery officer and NJ. Pach-
terry, the editor Of the French part of the
Greco-French newspaper, the Philipp-
oupolis. The quarrel arose out of row
at cafe, where the Russian officer by
way of "chaff' brandished a sword over
the editors head, as though he intended
to cut it off. This led to challenge,
and a meeting for the following day was
arranged.
Revolvers, in the absence of dueling
pistols, were chosen as the weapons to
be used; the distance to be twenty-five
PAGES; lots to be drawn to decide who
should have the first fire, and the duel
to cease after the first exchange of shots.
NJ. Pachtery was anxious that the duel
should go on until one or the other was
disabled, but his amiable wishes on this
point were overruled and the affair ar
ranged to take place on "one-shot-
apiece" basis. To compensate him for
his disappointment the editor won the
right of first fire, and, leveling his:
weapon, discharged it. Being, however,
more skillful with the pen than with the
pistol, he missed his man.
"Now," exclaimed the officer triumph
antly, "for my turn" eyes, sir" ejacu-
lated the editor, with sublime insouci-
ance, "fre." The officer accordingly
fired, but, beyond an alleged UNPLEASANT
whistle close to his ear, the editor suf-
fered no disagreeable consequences.
"And now," said the Russian officer,
magnanimously, 81 ask your pardon" !"
Freely granted and no ill-feeling re-
naming" replied NJ. Patchery. The
combatants then embraced each other
warmly and left the ground, accom-
panied by numerous friends, highly de-
lighted at the happy termination of the
affair. This first duel at Philippopolis
having been SO great success, others are
expected to follow. ...

Discipline has been enforced in Den
yer Sunday-school. Mrs. Maid recently
sent her two promising lads to the Rail
road Mission equipped with catechisms
and new hats. Their head-gear excited
the envy of the other boys in the school,
and combined attack was made upon
the two. The superintendent arrived
upon the ground with madness in his eye.
Armed with long, heavy pointer, he ad-
vanced upon the crowd and struck Willie
Maid twice-once on the head and again
on the elbow. The boy was dizzy and
sick, and had to be helped home, where
his parents heard with amazement the
details of the conflict. The indignant
father hastened back to the school in Or
der to knock down the superintendent,
but contented himself with securing his
arrest. The next morning the superin-
tendent. dispatched two friends to the
Maid family and offered them SIS if they
would withdraw the charge.

A NETTING of citizens interested

A NETTING of citizens interested in
cutting a ditch from Governors Slough
to the Norwegian lake, 10 called at Elk
Point for the 26th inst. This 10 move
in the right direction, aud every owner
Of real estate between here aud the cou n
~ line on the west. also those who reside
along said slough south Of town ss well
as those who have land in the vicinity of
the Kiplingsr lake are deeply interested
in the construction of this ditch. 1t will
not only prevent the overflow of several
thousand acres OF land west and north of
town. but will also drain tho lake last
named by cutting eff the feeder thereto.
1t is . we'll known fact that said lake is
fed BY the Governors slough, which has
its source OK head near Vermillion. A
large portion of the table land in this
county and Clay county is drained into
this slough aud nearly all the bottom be-
tween the Missouri and the upland in
addition to this. The compl elton of the
ditch from the Sioux river to the Norwe
gian lake has lowered said body from II
to 10 inches, and at q time when the
water was low. The construction of the
proposed ditch would take ali the water
from the Governors slough, aud the
country north aud west (Which how flaws
into the Kiplinger lake and the .loughs
adjacent) into the Norwegian lake and
from there it could be carried down the
ditch already completed to the Sioux.
Aside from the promotion Of health, this
proposed ditch would be Of incalculsble
benefit to many people. Several thous-
aud acre. of - rich land a. can be found
iu the Territory would be made available
for agricultural purposes. 1t will require
the united effort Of every man interested
To accomplish this work. Let no one
stand back and say it can b done with
out him.
