4 DUEL WITH HATCUETS

\ correspondent writes as follows TO the
Boulder (Co,) News and Courier:
The Denver papers publish two different
statements concerning the duel that was to
be fought in Breckenridge, in the early set.
Element Of this country, neither " which
gives the true cause of the difficulty, nor
the reason it did not terminate fatally 70
one or both parties
The principles Of the duel were G. p.
Hall, who is now in Montana, and Spencer,
who is now in the Black Hills, mining,
and was formerly United States senator
from Alabama.
The difficulty occurred at a social gather.
ing, where Hall, imagining Spencer insult.
ed HIM, wrote him challenge ia
mortal combat, and placed it in the hands
of q friend to be delivered to Spencer
The latter at once accepted the challenge
naming hatchetS as the weapons, and the
early part of the following day as the time
of meeting,
The parties each bought matches, but
they were not the SIZE and weight that
could be thrown with accuracy. Spencer
had had practice as q boy in throwing a
particularly shaped Ratchet of A certain
weight and blacksmith named George
Brcssier was employed to make two Of the
kind wanted. This delayed the time OF
meeting until afternoon, and the interval
was employed without avail by mutual
friends in the endeayor to settle the diff.
Guilty.
The parties met, and again friends inter.
feared to stop the fight, but neither would
retract or make any apology, though hi,
delay probably saved the HE of Hall, for
at this moment the mail-carrcr came in
sight, and the seconds told the principle,
to wait, as the carrier might have letter
for one or both Of them. They waited, and
the carrier came up with letter for Hal
from his mother, who wrote that she had
visited Spcncer's mother the day befor,
writing, and how happy they both we're ,c
think of their two boys, who were toy the,
to take care of each other in case Of sick
ness or trouble, if necessary.

hunting them. They have been traced
from place to place, and seen by citizens
who quietly, for fear of beng assassnated,
have given positive information as TO their
movements.
For a number OF days past every road
within q radous Of forty miles has been
closely guarded by men at night, but this
coming to the knowledge of the James
boys through their friends, they have taken
new routes, and seldom remain any length
of time in one place. They have them
selves begun to realize that it is not Us safe
as in former years for them to remain IN
Jackson county, and to judge from their
movements, are preparing to go into winter
quarters at one of their places OF retreat IN
another state.
Yesterday a rumor having been circulated
in Lees Summit that Jesse and Frank were
in the vicinity, as the report generally circu-
lated there was great excitement, and IN
few hours hundred armed men were ready
to 90 in search of them. The latest inlOr-
nation is TO the effect that the posse had
them surrounded in the woods On the
strength of this report Marshal Liggett left

impossible to say what developments may
result from the rumor, but the county Off.
GERS feel quite confident that before the
week is closed they will have one or the
other Of the Jameses, either dead or alive.
In conversation with man who at one
time was well acquainted with the Jameses,
Youngers, and other noted characters, he
stated that for few years after the close Of
the war, he was in sympathy with the men,
but now, since they had become bandits, he
has no sympathy for the gang and would

The question has been asked why mar

ly finds himself in the difficulty supposed
We believe, under certain conditions, the
doubt may exist. Smokers are not always
large consumers Of the weed. They often
form habit of taking very little smoke into
the mouth and Of breathing chiefly through
the nose. The consequence is that the
pleasure" Of smoking may consist in hav.
ing something to do, and the sensation of do
ing that something is quite as likely
TO be matter of seeing ms of
tasting. IN cases Of this class the
smoker being deprived of his accustomed
evidence or means Of enjoyment, may be
distressed. OF course, it is not alleged that
q man cannot ascertain whether the con-
tents Of his pipe are lighted when he hap
pens to be in the dark That would be
sheer folly. Meanwhile, the experiment,
if such it can be called, is well calculated
to draw attention to the economic question

stitute for the expensive cigar and wastcful
pipe might be found in some permanent

a mystery to some smokers how other
smokers could Systematically smoke bad
cigars; the mystery may be dispelled if it

Curious Prosecutions.

Some curious prosecutions are report
cd from the courts in various parts of
Germany. A wealthy and respected
shoemaker of Lautenburg, in West
Prussia, suspecting servant girl OF steal
ing twenty-five dollars, and, finding that
she would not admit it, hit upon the Gu
rious device of putting q steaming hot
egg under each OF her armpits and tying
her arms down over them until the tor
turc made her confess the theft, Then
he had her arrested. In the prison the
girl begged hard for something torelieyc
the pain Of the burns, and in that way
the method by which her confession
had been extortcd was revealed. The
shoemaker was prosecuted and SEN
fenced TO two years imprisonment. lie
appealed, and the appellate court made
it three years. In Sinzig there was Il
case analogous to that of Caleb Cushing,
who, in Washington, applied TO the
courts for relief against the barking of
dog that in the night disturbed his
studies. In this case it was a young hei-
fer that beloved at night when hungry,
and seemed to have been hungry often,
A gentleman in the neighborhood made
complaint, and the court adjudged the
owner of the animal to be in fault, and
sentenced him to pay a fine andstop the
believing. He denies, however, that
this is correct German law, and has APP
pealed In Berlin medical university
graduate was arraigned for putting up 4
sign as II practitioner without having
passed the supplementary examination
prescribed by the state. In Germany
this is made criminal oiiense, quacks
not being allowed TO impose upon the
public there The offender was convict
ed, Notwithstanding an ingenious de-
fense. In Pesth, Hungary, Chief Rabbi
Stern, in 1878, divorced a Jewish married
couple according to the Mosaic law, but
the sanction of the civil authorities was
not obtained. The parties having re-
married they were prosecuted for biga-
my, and the rabbi was arraigned with
them, at first us an accessory, but after
ward only on charge OF abusing the
powers of his rabbinical office. Afler
various vicissitudes, convictions, appeals
and reversals the court of last resort has
adudgcd the charge of bigamy not PROV
en-, but fines all the defendants for vio-
lating the statutes. This case awakened
much interest, and provoked contro-
versy has not yet subsided. .-.

for the duties Of the day; they are not
only incapacitated for business, but are
often rendered so ungracions in their
manners, so irritable and fretful, as TO
spread gloom over the whole house
hold. To be able 10 go to bed, and be
in sound, delicious sleep, an uncon-
scious deliciousness, in five minutes, but
enjoyed in its remembrance, is great
happiness, an incalculable blessing, and
one which we should all strive to enjoy
if possible, and it is undoubtedly the case
that we can do much to secure it by tax
ing proper care of ourselves in every
way. Restless nights to persons in APP
parent good health, arise chiefly from
first, an overloaded stomach, second,
from worldly care; and third, from want
of muscular activities proportioned to
the needs of the system. Few will have
restless nights who take dinner at mid
day, and nothing after that except bit
OF could bread, a cup or two of some hot
drink; anything beyond that, as cake,
pie, Clipped beef, doughnuts and the
like, only tempt nature to eat when
there is really no call for it, thus en-
gendering dyspepsia and all the train of
evils. Exercise, too, is a powerful agent
in the matter. Few will fail to sleep
soundly if the whole of daylight, or as
much thereof as will produce moderate
fatigue, is spent in steady work in the
open air, on horseback or on foot.
