How a Little Boy Faced Death.
Dubuque Times.

A ten-year-old, whose legs were
recently cut off by train of cars in this
city, was too plucky to make any fuss
over the incident. When the little fel-
low was taken home his legs hung limp
but he did not complain. But the
tender look he gave to those who stood
by his side told plainly that he was suf-
fering great agony. After the doctor
had dressed his wounds he called his
parents, sisters and brothers to his bed
side. kissed one and all farewell and
left tear upon their cheeks. A sec
ond time he called his mother to his
side, placed his little arms about her
neck and said: Mother, / am going
to die. Please forgive me for not
minding you" With this the little fel-
low fell back, and, as the mother said,
Eyes, my angel" and took another
look at his face, she found him dead
and beyond all nain and suffering.

The Eseee4t Fatal Duel.
a Letter from Senator Butler.

EDeEF1ELD G. f., July lS, 1880.
. Messrs. Ri0rdan d Dawson-
DEAR S1Rs: I want to say to you
that you have my hearty endorse
ment in the position you have taken
in reference to the Cash-Shaanon
tragedy. It is no reflection upon
the memory of the gallant gentle
men of the past who resorted to the
duello to settle their personal diff
ferences to ask that the law be Yin
dioated in this case. In former
days the most pnnctilious decorum
and chi7alric courtesy distinguish
ed the conduct of gentlemen in ':af-
fairs of honor" and coarse ribaldry
and gasconade in correspondence
was as odious as the brand of COW
ardice; but now the 'swashbuckler,
style" appears to be fashionable.
The issue is very sharply MADE
between those who trample law de-
family under foot and those who
execute it, and I hope that courage
enough may be found 10 execute it.
It viii te a sad day for South
Carolina when a gentleman who
feels It to be his personal OF profes-
sional duty to Vindicate private
rights in our courts, is first to be
insulted, pursued, rillifed and
goaded to desperation, and then
shot. # that is 10 be the plane
WHICH our civilization is to occupy,
we shall all be sleeping on our arms.
And there must be something rad
ically wrong in 3 publi6 sentiment
which can force a; man Of Shan
mons high character and acknowl-
edged courage to fight duel under
the circumstances which surround
ed him, It is about tilne we were
finding out where we are, and as
certaining whether border rufian-
ism is to govern this country OF
whether civilized institutions shall
be maintained.
I express no opinion on the mer-
it's Of this difficulty for I know no
thing about it, except what I have
seen in the public prints; but I do
venture the opinion that it is the
first time in the history.of duelling
in South Carolina that man has
been shot for doing what he had,
in morals and law, clearly the right
to do, and for d0i!ng What it was
his aworn duty to do, to wit: faith

/; Taking in Church.

We can think of no more repreheasi-
BILE practice than talking in church
during service, and we are glad to say
that as 3 general rule our young people
show their manners in this respect, and
it is rare that the exception is noticed.
We regret to say that on Sunday night in
the Methodist Church there was breach
of good breeding so marked as to claim
wide attention. In prominent place
and almost under the pulpit q small
talk was maintained almost without in
terruption during the entire remarks
Of the preacher, and during singing it
became more animated. We trust this
may not occur again or we shall be
more particular.
