 After all, this is child's play compared with desperate encounter described by the Imparcial of Madrid as taking place at Valparaiso. A quarrel between two rival professors of music led to chal- lenge, the instrument selected being nelther pen nor sword, but the piano. The conditions of the encounter were that neither party should eat or drink until honor had been declared duly satis- fled, and that no waltzes or other lively airs should be indulged in. Seconds were appointed and the duel proceeded with out intermission for forty eight hours, at the end of which time one of tke musi- cians, after playing "Miserere" for the 150th time, fell forward and sank ex. hausted on the floor. He was taken up a corpse. His adversary had been litter ally transformed into an "enraged musi- cian," and was in that state removed to the hospital. The seconds themselves gave signs of being seriously touched" and each of the pianos was found to be in hoplessly crazy condition. Such, at least, is the result of the medical exam- ination.

for them. She hadn't been brought in their ways, and was like to be too per ticker.
 Thus vanished all hopes of success from advertising. Mrs. Allen next advised that Martie should try one of the educa- tional agencies in this city, and an ap- plication was accordingly made. Then followed more days of anxious waiting and of hopes deferred, resulting at last in visit and generous offer from a lady who won Martie's heart from the outset with her pleasant face and win nIng ways and her gentle, motherly talk about the little boy and the two little girls at home for whom she wanted 6 teacher and companion. But, alas that home lay hundreds of miles away
 It seemed to Martie like going to the ends of the earth. She had twenty-four hours in which to decide; spent half the time in wavering between yes and no between the courage to go and the home sickness that crept over her at the very thought of it. Then scolding herself for genuine coward, she made up her mind that go she must and go she would.
 "What?" exclaimed MT. Raymond in a tone of surprise. Have you really made up your mind to go so far from heme and all your frlends?"
 "Yes, must go," said Martie, with little quiver in her voice. Please cont say anything to discourage me-" "I wouldn't for the world" returned MT. Raymond, sonly that I know of situation nearer home which you can have if you will accept it. Come into the reception-room and l will tell you about it."
 Martie was all eagerness now. How delightful if, after all, she should not be obliged to make an exile of herself.
 "It is a companion, not teacher, that is wanted" MT. Raymond continued. Would you be willing to take situa- tion as companion?"
 Martie's face fell little, but she an- swered:
 T should be very glad to take such a situation, if l could fill it. Do you think l could?"
 "Im sure you could"
 Do you know person who wants g companion?"
 .Yes.n
 "Who is it?"
 Myself"
 Yourself! How-what-" The ex- act question which Martie intended ask ing just here must be left to the imagi- nation, since she did not seem to be quite clear about it herself.
 MT. Raymond continued: "Yes, it is l, Martie. 1 want you for my compan- ion, my wife" The gray eyes twinkled as he asked, twill you take my situa- tion?"
 An hour later Mrs. Allen entered the room exclaiming, "Bless my soulp' as she stumbled upon an unmistakable pair of lovers.
 My dear Mrs. Allen," said Mir. Ray mond, taking his blushing companion" by the hand, and leading her to the as- tonished old lady, q know you will be glad to hear that Martie will not now be able to make an engagement with that lady; she has already made one with me-"

Anecdotes of Omoe-s.ek.rs.

There are number of applicants here who seek to fill the place occupied by the late Judge Hays. One of the aspir- ants was in Washington when he re- ceived the news of the vacancy at late hour on the evening of Monday. About midnight member of Congress and his wife were aroused by laundering rap at their door. A note was handed to the half-awake member. He read:
 Judge Hays is dead; advise me promptly what to do to secure the place" ., -
 The answer was:
 Better not disturb the President to- night; it will be little mere decent to wait until after the funeral"
 Such scrambles for office are SO dis gusting that it is strange that gentlemen will so demean themselves.
 There is story told of man who was promised the first vacancy in the Post-otice Department. One day while lazily sauntering near the river, he saw dead man dragged ashore. He looked at the face and recognized clerk whom he had known in the Post-otfice. He ran all the way to the department, rushed into the presence of the Postmaster Gen. eral and demanded his appointment.
 q only promised you n place when there was vacancy" said the Post master-General.
 There is one," said the excited indi- vidual. q saw the dead body of John Jones dragged out of the river"
 Slowly the Postmaster-G General enun- ciated the following words:
 "You are too late. One hour ago the place was given to the man who saw John Jones when he fell into the river"

 Joe Parsons was Baltimore boy, and little rough, but withal good d-hearted fellow and a brave soldler. He got badly wounded at Antietam, and thus laconically described the occurance and what followed to some people who visit ed the hospital:

LINES IN AN ALBUM.
BRET HARTz, IN THE CALIFORNIAN.

Sweet Mary--maid of San Andreas--

 Entitled, "The Bouquet" :" But what its purpose was beyond
 Its name, she could not guess; And so between its gilded leaves
 The flower he gave she'd press. Yet blame her sot. poetic youth,
 Nor deem too great the wronl; She knew not Hawthorne's bloom, nor loved Macauly's flowers of song. Her hymn book was the total sum
 Of poetic lore: And, having read through Dr. Watts, She did not ask for Moore. But when she ope'd her book again,
 How great was her surprise To find the leaves, on either side,
 Stained deep with crimson dyys. And that rose-his latest gift--
 A shapeless form she views; Its fragrance sped, its beauty fled, And vanished all its dews. Oh Mary--maid of San Andreas- Too sad was your mistake: Yet, one, methinks, that wiser folks Are very apt to make Who 'twixt these leaves would fix the shapes That Love and Truth assume, Will find they keep, like Mary's rose, The stain, and not the bloom.

 The Supreme Court of Michigan
 the Supreme Court of Maine have la wrestled with the Sunday laws in t respective States, and made const tions and decisions in two cases Sabbath-breaking of different charae The law in each of the States is al the same.
