A COmloal Duel.

In an interesting article which appear
ed in one of the magazines a short time
back, giving brief account of the life
of Fighting Fitzgerald, the celebrated
beau, gambler, horseman and duelist,
the following anecdote was omitted:
After his return from Ireland, an old
gentleman declared his intention of try
ing to cure Fitzgerald of his love of
dueling, and one day provoked him to
a duel. His friends tried in vain to
persuade him not to go out. Leave
me alone" he said, "I'll settle him. /
have got the choice of arms. Each of
US shall be mounted, each shall choose
his own weapon, a space shall be marked
out, and whoever first crossed the boun-
Diary shall be declared vanquished :"
Fitzgerald being informed of these
strange proposals did not like to refuse
and, confident in his admirable horse
manship and skill with all weapons,
accepted. He appeared on the ground
superbly mounted on fiery steed and
armed with pistols. To the surprise
and mirth of all, the old gentleman trot-
ted up on donkey, carrying bladder
with dried peas inside, and scarlet
cloak in his hand. Waving the cloak
and shaking his rattle, he rode into the
the space, off started the fiery courser,
and before Fitzgerald knew where he
was he had crossed the boundary and
lost the duel. The ridicule was too
much for him, and he never "went
out" again.

by Professor Felix Meters, gentle
man who has devoted his entire
life to the study of astronomy and
mechanics. 1t Is called the American
National Astronomical Clock, and It Is
probably the most complex and ingen-
ious Theological work that the hand of
man has ever produced. The clock ls IS
feet high, 9 feet wide, and feet deep,
and weighs 1000 pounds. 1t is wound
once in ~ days, and is run by weights
of ZOO pounds. 1t shows the local time
In hours, minutes and seconds, and the
time Of thirteen other cities OF the world,
among which are Washington, San
Francisco, Melbourne, Pekin, Cairo,
Constantlnople, ST. Petersburg, London,
Berlin and Paris. 1t also denotes the
movements Of the planets, and meas
ures their movements by seasons, years
and cycles for 200 years, including leap
years. Concealed in its interior Is
music box which plays when death
strikes each hour. At the same moment
the figure of Washington, seated in
chair beneath canopy, rises to his feet,
holding the Declaration of Independence
in his right hand. A liveried servant
sitting at the right hand also rises and
opens door through which comes all
the Presidents of the United States, who
march in review before the efIlgy of
Washington, saluting him as they pass.
The procession disappears through a
door on the opposite side of the plat
form, which is opened and closed by a
servant in gorgeous livery. The like
nesses of these figures includes that of
President Hayes, who Is in the rear, and
are said to be excellent. AS soon as the
door is closed the figure of Washington
resumes its chair of state, and all is
quiet until the hammer of Death again
sounds the hour on the gong, when the
extraordinary scene is repeated. The
quarter-hours are struck by an infant,
the half-hours by youth, and the three
quarters by man. The South Church,
Boston, has offered 900 for the clock,
the price of which is $50 900.

Patriotism and CLANS.


Soon after the firingon Sumter gen.
tleman of New York, who passes his
summers by the waters OF South Bay,
had occasion to drive from New York TO
Isllp, and to pass through the principal
villages along the shore. Nearly every
where the patriotism Of the people was
manifested by numerous flags that
waved from poles. or were hung from
windows, and each village contained
groups of men who.were discussing the
important events Of the day. One vii
lage only was without bunting, and
there was q sullen orowd at the prlnci-
pal store, whose brsathings were any
thing but loyal. The gentleman was
well known to the inhabitants, and felt
justified Ia repHoxing them for their
political attitude. He told what he had
seen on his way down, how the other
villages were decked with flags, and
asked why they did not do like their
neighbors. Phe men looked one toward
another for several moments, and finally
the boldest ventured to speak.
" Flags, eh ?" said he, in tone of
withering contempt. Flags ! : and

A GOOD GHOST STORY.

IN went regular to see the same girl.
The young lady-a farmers fair daugh-
ter resided just half way between the
respective homes of her adorers, and, as
a matter of course, when Sunday even

the distance travelled over was the same

Now as they were jealous of one an
other, each lover tried his skill, by a
series of man@uvres, to drive the other

for some time, yet neither had seemed

it would have terminated, for the girl

not marry them both, she was puzzled
which one to choose. Whether she
wished them TO fight duel, or decide
the contest by fisticuffs, for the honor
of her hand and heart, cannot say
but her suspense, and that of her anx-
ious lovers, was, at last, relieved in the

How an Owls Head Rsvolyes.

A writer in cotemporary who had
read story of an owl wringing its own
neck off by looking at a man who was
walking around him, tested the matter
by experiment. He obtained specimen
and placed him on top of a post. "It
was not difficult" said the writer, "to
secure his attention, for he never divert
ed his gaze from me while was in his
presence. began walking rapidly
round the post, few feet from it, keep
ing my eyes fixed upon him all the
while. His body remained motionless,
but his head turned exactly with my
movements. When / was half way
round, his head was directly behind.
Three quarters of circle were complet-
ed, and still the same twist of the neck
and the same stare followed. One circle
and no change. On went, twice round,

easy chair the other evening.
"Well, I'll explain the principle OF

to see myself get SIS out of you for any
such thing. You'd have about a thou

that SIS get fifteen different articles,

would make twelve, and the other three
articles could be shoes for the children.

en- leg is indlsputable evidence that
dreams sometimes come to pass.
While Mcclellan was besieglng York
town the fun was not all on one side.
The Confederates had plenty of shot and
shell, and they sent them out with
intent to kill. One morning a Michigan
man who was in the trenches walked
back to.A spot on which three officers
were eating breakfast and warned them
that they were in great peril. On the
night previous he had dreamed that he
had looked at his watch and marked
that 1t Was quarter of seven, when
shell hit the ground behind him and
tore up the earth in terrible way. 1t
was now twenty minutes of seven, and
he besought the officers to leave the spot
at once. His earnest manner induced
them to comply, and they had only
reached cover when Confederate shell
struck the earth where they had been
grouped and made an excavation into
which horse could have been rolled
with room to spare.
Three days before the affair at Kelly's
Ford Corporal in the Sixth Michigan
Cavalry dreamed that brother of his,
who was Sergeant in another COM
pany, would have his horse killed in
action, and would almost Immediately
mount dark bay horse with white
nose. Within five minutes both horse
and rider would be killed by shell.
This dream was related to more than q
score of comrades fully two days before
the fight. Early in the action the Ser
geant's horse was struck square in the
forehead by bullet, and dropped dead
in his tracks. 1t was scarcely three
minutes before white-faced horse,
carrying blood-stained saddle, galloped
up to the Sergeant and halted. He
remembered the dream, and refused to
mount the animal, and soon after picked
up black horse. The white-nosed
animal was mounted by second cor
poral in another regiment, and horse
and rider were torn to fragments by
shell in full sight of four companies of
the Sixth. These things may seem
very foolish now, but there was time
when a soldier dream saved Gen. Kill
patrick's life; when dream changed
Custer's plans for three days; when
dream prevented Gen. Tolbert's camp
from surprise and capture; and when
q dream gave Gen. Sheridan more accu-
rate knowledge of Early's forces than
all the scouts"
We knew when in the army similar
result of dream. When lying at San
dy Hook, Md, in July 1861, we had in
our company young man of known
courage. On the morning of July I'd he
came to the captain in command and
said that he was sure that some of the
company would be hurt very soon, as
he had dreamed that he lay on stretch
er and surgeon was cutting slit up
his leg, hunting bullet. He described
the doctor very accurately, and as he
was different from any surgeon on duty
at the post, all laughed at him. About
an hour afterward strange officer was
seen coming up to head quarters when
Sergeant NJ said, there comes the
man saw in my dream, and I'll bet he
is DOCTOR" 1t proved to be SO, and the
next day in a skirmish, Sergeant M
was wounded, brought in on a stretcher,
and the doctor he saw in his dream per-
formed the operation of cutting ball
out of his leg.

FD' Twenty years ago the steamer
Arabian" sank In the Missosri river,
with GEO barrels of whisky on board.
The current of the river went on chang
ing, and now the place where the steam
er sunk is dry land and the forgotten
wreck is buried forty feet in the sand.
The other day the man who owns the
place put down pump and the first
liquid he found, was whisky in one of
the 600 buried barrels. For while
after he had tasted the vein his pipe had
struck, land in the vicinity was held at
S475, 600 an acre; but by and by some
one remembered about the old wreck
and the price fell. A trustworthy and
constant vein of twenty-year-old whisky
ON any Missouri farm has a tendency
to increase the demand for it rapidly.

@The Rev. Sumner Latham was en-
gagged at $500 a year as pastor of the
Baptist church at East Ware, N. H.,
but majority of the members were not
willing to pay him even that meagre
salary, and it was voted to dismiss him.
He intends to sue for the $500 dollars at
the end of the year, and therefore pre-
pares, every week, two sermons, which
he carries to the church on Sunday to
deliver, but always finds the door locked
against him.

The Name Investigation.

The Legislative Committee inquiring into
the conduct of Ex-Governor Garcelon and
Council have made report. The committee
say first " that the returns were kept from can
didates contIary to usage. Second, that dur
ing such time alterations, erasures, and forger
les were made upon them for the purpose of
counting out Republicans. Third, that dur
ing this time defects in Fusion returns were
surreptitiously corrected and afidavits secured
to throw out Republican towns. Fourth, il
all such cases the results invariably counted
out Republican candidates and counted in
Fusion candidates. Fifth, the result was
reached BY refusing to allow Republican errors
to be oorrerted. Sixth, rules here laid down
were strictly applied to reject Republican re
turns and not applied to count Fusion returns.
Seventh, many of these rules were evidently in
voked to secure Fusion Legislature. Eighth,
these illegal and fraudulent acts were a part
of premeditated plan to secure Fusion Gov
ernor and Legislature, and the Governor and
Council must have been parties to it. Ninth,
different appropriations by the Legislature
have been diverted from their legitimate pur-
poses, and in many cases have been exhausted.
Public funds have been withdrawn from the
Treasury by Gov. Garcelon and his Council,
without warrant of law, and have been applied
to unauthorized purposes and for unlawful
ends. A large sum of money belonging to the
State remains in the hands of Gov. Garcelon
and other officials of last year, which should
be recovered back into the Treasury. The
recklessness of the management disclosed in
the transactions of last year tends to. destroy
public confidence, undermine public credit, and
introduce practices which, if unrebuked, will
prove fatal to the future prosperity and pro-
gress of the State"

Shaving to Raise Crop of Hair.

A barber named Rancour writes to
the Albany Argus: In every COM
munity there are persons who pass for
baldheaded ones, and indeed to all in
tents and purposes they are such, and
vet in fact are not, for if the spots which
80 often seem to be BALD are examined,
it will be found that there are just as
many hairs-such as they are-to the
square inch, as on any other part of the
scalp; but from their extreme tineness
and the lighter color they assume, they
count for nothing This wasting pro-
cess-caused by insufficient nourish-
ment-wiu, of course, result in bald
ness if left to itself, but if properly at
tended to is one Of the most hopeful
cases we have to deal with.
To shave a bald spot (Which, accord
ing to Webster, means a spot destitute
of hair) would of course be perfectly
useless, so for tnat matter would any
treatment be. But to shave a spot such
as is described above, where the hairs,
instead of falling out and being lost en-
tirely, are becoming mote and more at
tenuated, will coarsen and strengthen
each individual hair, and cause it, like
the well-pruned vine or tree, to take
deeper root, and as each hair increases
in diameter it becomes more and more
capable of receiving nourishment as we'll
as of appropriating the pigment or col
cring matter. i presume it is well
known that persons who never use
razor on their faces-for instance the
Indian-never have coarse or long
boards, in tact scarcely any beard at
all. While the young man who longs
and sometimes sighs tor nustache or
whiskers, seeks to hurry up the matter
by the frequent use OF the razor. These
things, together with considerable ex-
perience, convinces us that great bene-
tit may be derived in many cases by the
application of these surgical means.
| And then, too, only certain length OF
time for shaving is necessary in order to
attain the end in view. For, strange as
ic may seem, no amount of shaving on
such a spot will coarsen the hairs beyond
the thickness of the surrounding healthy
| hairs.

Eggs rs Food.

Eggs of various kinds, says "CasselPs
Domestic Dictionary" are largely used
as food for man, and it is scarcely pOssi-
BILE to exaggerate their value in this
capacity, SO simple and convenient are
they in their form, and so manifold may
be their transformations They are ex-
ceedingly delicious, highly nutritious
and easy of digestion, and when the
shell is included they may be said to
contain in themselves all that is required
for the construction of the bedy. 1T
has been claimed for them that they may
be served in about six hundred ways, a
though it is generally found that the
more simply they are prepared the more
they are approved. Although other
instance, turtle eggs-it is generally
agreed that the eggs of the common fowl
and of the plover possess the richest and
geese are frequently used in cookery,
but they are of too coarse nature to be
eaten alone. The eggs of the turkey
and of the pea.hen are highly esteemed
for some purposes.
The weight of an ordinary new-laid
hens egg is from one and half to two
and half ounc avordupois, and the
quantity of dry solid matter contained
in it amounts to about two hundred
grains. In one hundred parts, about
ten parts consist of shell, sixty of white
and thirty of yolk. The white of the
egg contains a larger proportion of water
than the yolk. 1t contains no fatty
matter, but consists chiefly of albumen
in dissolved state. All the fatty mat.
ter of the egg is accumulated in the
yolk, which contains relatively smaller
proportion of heterogeneous matter and 9
larger proportion of solid matter than
the white. Therefore, in an aimentary
point of view, the white and the yolk
difier considerably from each other, the
former being mainly a simple solution
albumen, the latter being SO 'ution OF .
modified form of albumen, together with
q quantity of fat. Raw ane
lightly boiled eggs are easy of digestion
II is said that raw eggs are more easily
digested than cooked ones; but this may
be doubted if the egg is not overlooked
