A Duel on Horseback.

The Earl of Glencairn challenged
Lieut.. Gen. Sir George Munro for gross.
" opprobrious language used by him to-
ward the highland troops, as being emo
other than pack of thieves and rob-
bers." They met in field near OAR
noch; "'by gray daylight: They were
both well mounted on horseback; each of
them were to have one pistol, after dis
charging of which they were to fight
with broad-swords. The pistols were
fred without doing hurt. They then en-
gagged with their swords, and after a few
passes, my lord had the good fortune to
give Sir George sore stroke on his bri-
die hand, whereupon Sir George cried
out that he was not able to command his
horse, 'and I hope said he, you will
fight me on foot 'Ye earle, says my
lord, I will let you know that l am a
match for you either on foot or horse
back Whereupon they both alighted;
and at the first bout my lord gave him
a sore stroke over the brow, about an
inch above his eyes, which bled so much
that he could not see His lordship was
going to thrust him through the body;
but John White, his man, pushed up his
sword, and said: You have enough OF
him, my lord. Hislordship, in passion,
gave John stroke over the shoulders,
and then took his horse and came to his
quarters. Munro and his brother, went
to headquarters, but with much ado,

A Record of Births.

An honest farmer of Caithness, says
Chambers Journal, recording the births
of his children in the family bible, wrote:
=" Betty was born on the day that John
Cathiel lost his gray mare in the moss.
Jenny was born the day they began
.mending the roof O. the kirk. Sandy
was born the night my mother broke her
leg, and the day after. Kitty gaed away

Margaret, was born the day Sandy
Bremmer bigged his new barn; and the
very day after the battle o. Waterloo.
Kirsty was born the night O. the great

Donaldson and a south country drover.
Forbye, the factor, raised the rent the

strangely anxious to leave the country,
They were to be back in five months.
Drusilla-poor trusting fool!-idol-
ized the man and obeyed him. To her
he was a knight without reproach.
But soon his conduct to her altered
strangely, and she began to suspect that
all was not right. He grew cold and
cruel, and she was miserable and ,1n-
happy;
She wrote secretly to her sister, told
her troubles and how quickly her hls-
bands conduct had altered. The sister
urged her to leave him and come home.
She was expecting her to do so when
there came the news of her illness and
death, and then of the mysterious disap-
pearance Of the body. From that mo-
ment Drusilla Emerton' g sister made up
her mind to fathom the mystery and
bring the guilt home to the murderer.
She refused to accept the explanation of
her sisters death. She believed Blissett
Emerton to be quite capable of carrying
out carefully matured plot to get rid OF
her. The disappearance of the body
strengthened her suspicious. She con-
cluded at once that he feared the corpse
might afterward be exhumed, and as it
turned out her suspicious were correct.
When, some time afterward, he arrived
in England, she commenced to put her
plans into execution. She would terrify
his secret from him. Ihave said she was
an actress by profession. She was also
an exact counterpart in height and
feature of her dead sister.
When Emerton went to live in cham
bers she managed by clever artifice to
get a duplicate set of keys. The place is
open night and day, and there are only
one or two men in residence 1t is easy to
choose time to step up the stairs un-
noticed By getting into the enclosure
before II one would not even be seen by
the gate-porter.
The plan which occurred to the MUIR
dered woman's sister had been put in
execution for the first time that night.
Early in the evening she had let him see
her face among the trees. I had been an
unsupported witness Of the SUCCESSES of her
appearance rs one from the dead.
All this was told at the trial in Amer
lea. He was extradited, and I went over
as witness. But not even on the SCAT
fold would he tell where reposed the re-
mains Of his victim. The avenging sister
is now member of Mr.. Is dramatic
company, and the story, although well
known in the states, is now perhaps told
for the first time in England.

A Boston Girls Bow.
from the New York World.

The Boston girls are rushing into vio-
Unity in way that is terribly suggestive
of the horrors which which unborn gen.
erations are to sup upon-whlch reminds
us of an incident. At one of the evening
fddling schools the professor asked
one of the misses rather abruptly,
where is your bow, Miss Rosinwell j? "
"Oh," she said, abstractedly, "he's
waiting for me outside, T guess" And
then every drop of blood rushed into her
face, and when she began to practice her
violin gave vent to cries as of some one
undergoing torture. If it felt all the
venom the young lady put into her work
the cries were all too mild in their heart
rending wierdness. She was just as mad
as she could be.

Many housekeepers complain that their
cheese becomes dry, and some use a kind
of bell-glass to put their cheese in. A
very simple expedient will keep cheese
in: the best condition. Take linen cloth
or cheese-cloth, dip it in white wine,
squeeze out excess Of wine, and wrap uo
the cheese in it. By doing this the cheese
is not only kept moist, but it's flavor is
improved.

A Pleasant Papa.
tChicago Folk Lore.1

'aj But, papa" s..,t
''Not another word. Pm a wild cat when
my backs up, and don't you forget it,"
The speaker was a hard-vsaged man,
dressed with an elegance that ill-accorded with
his evident want of culture. She who had ad-
dressed him as papa" was fair-haired girl
of eighteen summers. Reared on the knee of
luxury, she had never known what it was to
have her slightest wish thwarted Her father,
a plumber, was from the nature of his business
o man of iron will, but he was not devoid Of
pity or generosity, as many debtor whose
house and lot he had taken in part payment
for fixing the water-pipes, letting the balance
of the account run along sometimes for two
months, could testify He had surrounded
Cecil his only child, with all that wealth
could purchase, looking forward to the time
when she would marry the eldest son of q
Niagara Falls hackman, or some person
OF fortune commensurate with her own.
But she had allowed her heart to
be ensnared by the wiles of Cupid, and
that morning had asked her sire's consent
to her marriage with poor but not proud
young man, whose agricultural operations on
the Board of Trade had not been attended
with success. 1t was this request that pro-
duced the answer above given.
Again Cecil pleaded with her parent not to
crush the love that blossomed in her heart.
The old mans mind went back to the happy
days when he had told her mother of his love,
and how they commenced life with nothing
but strong arms and willing hearts. Placing
his fan-like hand on Cecils shoulder, the old
man looked at her tenderly and said: 'Look
ye, my lass. You say you love this man and
cannot live without him. Mebbe not. have
promised you seal-skin sacque this Winter

Letter from Mr.. FRYE.

The following correspondence explains it.
self Mr.. Frye very justly places high es-
innate on the value of his services in the
House. To be sure, if the senatorial eau
Gus be held as usual on the Friday evening
after the organization of the Legislature,
Mr.. Frye would lose but three days of the
Congressional session; but even that time
might be of great Importance. Mr.. FRYE is
an exceedingly efficient member of the
minority in the present House, and in the
next House, with Republican majority. he
may be either speaker, or what is of scarcely
less value, leader of the House. With Mr..
Frye in such position of power and in
fuence for service to his State and the Ma
ton, it seems wickedly wasteful of our re-
sources to remove him to the Senate where
for long time at least he would have COM
paratlvely little weight. especially when we
have the opportunity of securing 4 5oaAetar of
the great power, public experience and high
national reputation of Mr.. Hale. The dele
CATION from Maine has for many years been
strong and influential 1t is greatly to the
advantage of the State to strengthen rather
than weaken our representation at the ma
tional capitol, and this can be accomplished
by adding Mr.. Hale to the delegation, while
the reverse would follow the transfer of Mr..
Frye to the Senate and the filling of his
place in the House by new, untried aud
inexperienced man. Here is the correspon-
dence:
