Every act will stand the strongest and

anyone that to-day he is without a

race is concerned. In our opinion,
Capt. Henry King is candidate for
Governor; and his nomination would
reflect credit upon the party. In adj
dition, his canvas would bring the Re-
publican majority up to its old point,

A graphic account Of q duel in Mo-
rocco is given by foreign cores
pondent. Two young men Of noble
birth were paying their attentions
to the daughter Of neighbor chief,
and as she showed equal favor to
each Of them, it was arranged by
mutual consent that they should
meet in single combat and fight a
duel to the death. The conditions of
the duel were that they should meet
on horseback, each Of the combatants
being armed with a rife, a revolver
and a hunting-knife. They were
placed a hundred yards apart, and
upon a signal given by one Of the
seconds they set their horses at full
gallop and rushed at each other. For
few moments the spectators could
see nothing but q cloud Of dust, from
out Of which were heard two success
i've reports from rifle, and then a
third followed by the neighing of a
horse. When the dust had cleared
away shocking sight met the gaze
Of the spectators; one Of the combat
ants, concealed behind his dead
horse, was taking aim at his ADVERSE
ry, who still remained in the saddle.
The latter spurred his horse and
made it rear, the noble beast receiv-
ing in his chest the bullet meant for
his master. The rider, as soon as he
was dismounted, rushed forward TO
grapple with his adversary, but a
second shot fractured his left Shout
der. Nevertheless, he retained suf
ficient strength to discharge two
chambers Of his revolver, both shots
taking effect. A hand-to-hand COM
bat then ensued, the adversaries,
neither of whom was able to stand,
stabbing each other repeatedly
When the seconds and spectators in
terfered the two were picked up
dead. -

The following example illustrates
an amusing manner the aJsurdity Of
the ancient rule for Hminding the
stops" in reading:
A country schoolmaster, who found
il difficult tomake his pupils observe
the difference, in reading, between
a comma and full point, adopted a
plan which he hattored himself
would make them proficient in the
art of punctuation. 1t was this:
In reading, when they came to a
comma, they were to say tick; when
they came TO semicolon, they were
to say tick, tick; a colon, tick tick,
tick, and when to a full point, tick,
tick, tick, tick.
Now, it is SO happened that the
worthy master received notice that
the parish minister was TO pay a
visit Determination to hisschool. AS
he was, of course, DESTROYS that his
pupils should show of to the best adj
vantage, he gave them an extra drill
the day before the examination.
Now said he addressing his
pupils, awhen you read before the
minister tomorrow you may leave
out the ticfs,,s though you must
think them as you go along for the
sake Of elocution."
So far, so good. The next day the
minister was ushered into the school
room by the master, whowith smiles
and bows, hoped that the training of
the pupils would meet his appoval.
Now it SO happened that the first
boy called up by the minister had
been absent the preceding day, and
in the hurry the master had forgot.
ten to give him his instructions how
to read. The minister asked the boy
to read a chapter in the Old Tesla
mcnt, which he pointed out. The
boy complied, and in his best accent
began:
"And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying tick, speak unto the children
ofIsrael saying tick, tick, tick, and
thus shalt thou say unto them, tick,
tick, tick, tick This unfortunate
exhibition acted like a shower-bath
on the poor master. while the minis
ter and his friends almost died of
laughter.

Love IL First Sight.

A very interesting elopement has
just occurred at Fort Wayne, Ind.
"A few days ago Samuel Hoascr, a
passenger conductor on the Fort
Wayne, Muncie and Cincinnati rail
road, called at a leading store and
left order for some carpets. young
man named W. Harry Rouscoe was
sent to Mr.. Houser's residence 10 lay
the carpets, and while there met Mr..
Housers daughter, very petty
young girl of about seventeen, with
whom Rouscoc suddenly fell desper-
ately in love. Although he had
never seen her before, he poured his
love into her willing ears, and she
accepted his profiered devotion. An
appointment was at once made for
the evening, and the loving couple
met as per agreement, took a train
at once, and proceeded to Indianapo-
lis. When Mr.. Houser returned
home he founda note from his daugh-
ter, stating that she had flown with
the ardent young carpet-tacker. A
telegram was received from Rouscoe,
stating that he and the girl had been
married at Indianapolis, and had
gone to st. Louis. Mr.. Houser is a
widower, and the girl is his only
child. He threatens Rouscoe with
the direst vengeance.
