l was looking over the stories that
were sent in last week for the prize, and
| wonder that the editor did not insert
this one, which is really too good to be
lost: "There is curious duel now pend
ing in Boston, which began several years
ago. Mr.. A., bachelor, challenged Mr..
B., married man, with one child, who
replied that the conditions were not
equal, that he must necessarily put more
at risk with his life than the other, and
he declined. A year afterwards he re-
ceived challenge from Mr.. A., who
stated that he, too, had now wife and
child, and he supposed, therefore, the OBJ.
lection of Mr.. B. was no longer valid
Mr.. B. replied that he now had two chill.
dren, consequently the inequality still
existed. The next year Mr.. A. renewed
his challenge, having now two children
also, but his adversary had three. The
matter, when last heard from, was still
going on, the numbers being six to seven
and the challenge yearly renewed"

stated that greater number of the return

sent most deplorable and heart-rending
spectacle. The authorities are taking meas
ures to prevent a popular tunult upon
their arrival, but it is thought that if the
exiles are permitted to arrive in Paris en-
bloc in their present state of destitution
and with all the evidencesof their wretched
poverty and deprivation upon them Sc
rious disturbance of the peace will follow.
There is sore feeling among shop keep
ers and merchants of Paris, many of whom
have been sufferers in property and person
by the excesses of the men who are now
allowed to return home. The unwisdon
of the Government in permitting the re
turn of the eXiles in this fashion is severely
commented upon and even at this moment
it is urged that steps should be taken to SET
that they return to the city only in smal
numbers, and after having been properly

they now bear with them of their penury

Another Truly Good Man.

Mr.. Cyrus w. Field is a great man. 1t
is understood to be his opinion that Mr..
Field could create good, serviceable
world (no better, perhaps, than the pres
ent one, but certainly at least as good) in
five days, and without the least fatigue.
He is also as good as he is great He la
bors not to make money or to dine with
English noblemen, but solely for the good
of mankind. In this respect there is a
close resemblance among all the members
of the Field family. Mr.. Dudley Field
practices law solely in order to help the
widow and the fatherless, and Mr.. Henry
M. Field conducts a religious paper with
the sole purpose of enlightening the igno-
rant and wicked as to the existence and
attributes of Field. Moreover, Mr.. Cyrus
w. Field is as modest as he is great.
Nothing makes him more unhappy than
to see his name mentioned in the newspa-
pers or to be compelled to dine with an
English nobleman.

Greystone, the country seat near Yon-
kers which Mr.. Tilden leased with the
privilege of purchase, was sold to him
yesterday for $150,0O0. The sale in
cludes the house and about tifty-fve acres
of ground. The place is mile and a
half beyond Yonkers, fronts on Broad
way and extends back to the Hudson,
with the privileges of the waterfront
over the Hudson River Railroad. Itcost
1925, 900, and its purchase for $50, 900 is
regarded by real estate men as a great
bargain, since any one with ready money
at command can at any time lay out the
grounds into lots with advantage. The
former owner was Mr.. Waring, a well
known contractor for labor in State Pris
ons, who is now living in the East, where
he has several contracts for the manufac
ture of shoes in the State Prisons anC
Penitentiaries.

Mrs. Adelaide Kemble Sartoris, when

Mrs. Adelaide Kemble Sartoris, when
she was young lady, once sang at a
private entertainment in Paris, where
among her audience was Charles Sumner.
He afterward wrote to Mr.. G. S. Hillard
of Miss Kemble's singing on this occa-
sion: "You know that ! am no judge of
music, but still have heart and pulses
which throb under manifestations of
human feeling. Her music affected me
deeply, and I can not describe to you
how much impressed was the beautiful
and crowded circle by which she was
surrounded, who interrupted her at
every pause by gush of 'bravos.' She
was singing Fanny Kemble."
