was the challenged party He was an
Englishman, like the hero Of Pima
fore by birth, but he went to Savan-

Revolutionary war. He killed Lieut..
Gov. Wells In 1880 in a duel, and was
engaged in several affairs Of honor, IN
til he 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 barreled gun loaded with buck
shot, and with a hunting knife should
row himself III a skiff to designated
points on opposite sides Of the Savan-
nah river. When the city clock struck

skif to small island in the middle of

the island each party was to moor his

The country all through Northern
Minnesota abounds in lakes and lake
lets from an eighth OF mile to ten and
twelve miles in length, and there are
said to be 10000 OF them in the State,
and large proportion of them are said
to abound with fish and game. Those
who have travelled through it tell me it
is perfect paradise for sportsmen, and,
indeed, large parties ofgentlemen from
other States, as well as from Europe
and the provinces, visit this section
annually in pursuit of game and sport,
and health as consequent upon such
pursuits. The first evening I arrived
one of these sportsmen came into the
hotel in the evening, followed by two
men carrying strings of birds, com
prised mainly of ducks, but with few
prairie pheasants, chickens and par
tridges, and q few woodcock; but the
great weight of game-of which there
must have been over $50 birds-were
of the mallard duck; with few red
heads and canvasbacks, and here and
there sprinkled through the string were
a greenwing or redwing teal or diver.
These, as [ was informed, were the re-
suit of one days shooting from one
gun. The birds are easily reached by
those who are experienced in shooting
them, and SO abundant are they that
you can get brace of splendid mallards,
IN prime condition, for 80 cents, or a
dozen brace for $250-CoT. Montreal

The Wrong Roll in the Right Place.

A gentleman at Darien who had been
on collecting tour returned home the
other night with about 81, 200 in his
pocket. He locked every door, and was
SO nervous that he didn't know wheth-
er he was foot or horseback After
he and his wife had undressed and got
into bed, he got up and put the roll of
money into his wife's stocking. In the
morning when he got up he found his
money in his pantaloons pocket, and
asked his wife if she wasn't astonished
when she found that roll of money in
her stocking. She said she didn't ind
any roll in her stocking He told her
that he put it in her stocking the night
before. She insisted that if he did he
must have got up in his sleep and taken
it out. He insisted on examining her
stockings, to see if any Of the roll had
remained there. She thought she felt
something kind of binding around her
toes. Finally she took off her shoe and
stocking, and found half-pound roll
of fne-cut chewing tobacco nicely
damned in about her toes. He said
that beat the deuce, and she said it had
taken the skin off her toes. That day
the man was very free with his tobacco,
giving anybody chew who wanted it..
When the people of Darien, who accept
ed his hospitalities, read this, and know
that they helped chew that tobacco that
the lady had worn in her shoe for a
couple of hours, they will say words
that they ought to be ashamed Of
