An Old-Time Bloody Duel.

washington Letter to Boston Journal
Among the many bloody duels on record as
having been fought by Congressman was one
In which James Jackson, of Georg1a-who
had been and who was afterward q United
States Senator-was the challenged party.
He was ian Englishman," like the hero OF
s.Pinafore,'' by birth, but he came to Savan-
nah when lad, studied law, was leading
Free Mason, and fought Rallantly In the
Revolutionary War. He killed Lieut.. Gov
Wells in 1880 In duel, and was engaged In
several other "affairs OF honor" until ne
finally determined to accept q challenge on
such terms as would make It his last duel.
So he prescribed as the terms that each party,
armed with double e-barreled gun loaded W1tn
buckshot, and with hunting knife, snouid
row himself In skiff to designated polnIs on
opposite sides OF the Savannah river. Wnen
the city clock struck - each party snouId
start and row his skiff to q small Island 10 tne
middle Of the river, which was Wooded anu
covered with underbrush. On arriving at the
island each party was to moor his sKlff, sCand
BY 1t ten minutes, and then 30 about On the
island till the meeting took place. Inc sec
Onds waited on the main until alter O'Clock.
when they heard three gun shots ana IOud
and angry cries. Then all was still At day
liohf- "a had been agreed upon, the seconds
went to the island, and found Jackson lying
IN the Ground, insensible from the loss o.
blood. and his antagonist lying across MIN
dead. Jackson recovered, but would never
relate his experience on that night, nor was
he ever challenged again. He died 10 this
civ while serving his second term as United
States Senator, March 19, 1906.

GAMBETTA'S POPULARITY.
Why the Leader Of the French Republicans
is Losing His Popularity.
New York Tribune.l


Gambetta seems to be losing bis popularity
in Paris. When Grevy was President OF the
Chamber OF Deputies, the official residence at
the Palace OF Versailles he used for business
purposes and on State occasions, but he lived
Ia an apartment In the Rue st. Arnaud, which
his taste adorned, and went down to YER
sailles by train, just as NJ. Theirs used to do,
and never dreamt OF setting up a stable vying
with that Of Lord Lyons or the late Nine.
Musard Gambetta has transferred himself
which, before it was turned into an ambu-
lance by the gentlemen Of the Commune, was
Schneider, the director and proprietor OF the
Creuzot 1ronworks, whom the empire had
made President Of the Corps Legislatif. It
has cost several hundred thousand francs to
fit up the Palais Bourbon for the new Presi-
dent Of the Assembly, and his friends now
read OF his having teams worth 600 guineas a
pair to take him to and from Versailles. In
deed, he has been already compared to Louis
Quatorze, and accused of feeding on Ia suear
du peupk. They ask, moreover, II this be
done In the green wood, what will be done In
the dry? II Gambetta as plain President OF
the Chamber, needs all the appurtenances Of
d court, what will be not want as chief Of the
State? This is the way In which the Paris
correspondent OF the Standard sums up the
