Never before in the United States has
a single murder been avenged so terribly
by the law as that of Joseph Raber, who
was drowned eighteen months ago by
some men who wished to realize the
value of his life insurance policies. Six
months ago two of the alleged conspira-
tors were hanged, and Thursday three
others suffered the same penalty. For
five lives to be sacrificed for one seems
terrible, yet the crime of the murderers
was so shocking and malicious that the
courts could not possibly fix lighter
sentence upon any of the perpetrators.

Leon Gambetta.

Leon Gambetta and ex-senator La
fayette Foster of Connecticut repudi-
ated their originalbetrothals for about
the same reasons. Their fances were
rather high strung ladies. Mr.. Foster
was a rising young lawyer. and pleased
the young lady to whom he was en-
gagged, but his parents we're humble
country people. When he proposed to
make a visit to the old folks on their
approaching wedding trip, the lady
consented with reluctance, saying that
she had been reared in very different
surroundings from those of his pa
rents, and he could not expect her to
make them frequent visits. His man
ly reply was: II am glad | have found
you out in season; you may go to the
ID" NJ. Gam5etta made a few re
marks of about the same significance
though couched in polite French,
when his betrothed refused to make
his aged aunt, who had devoted her
life to him, a part of their establish
ment, and their engagement vas then
and'there broken.

Duel Between "a Russian officer
and 81 ROumeiian Editor.

A duel which took place recently at
Phillippopolis, in Roumelian, excited
intense interest amongthe inhabitants,
being the first duel Phillippopolis has
ever known since it has been a city.
The combatants were a Russian artil-
lery officer and NJ. Pachatery, the ed
ltor of the French part of the Greco
French newspaper, the Phillippopolis.
The quarrel arose out Of a row at a
cafe, where the Russian officer by wav
of "chaf7' brandished a sword over the
editors head, as though he intended
to cut it off. This led to a challenge.
and a meeting for the following day
was arranged. Revolvers, in the alb
sence Of dueling pistols, were chosen
as the weapons to be used; the dis
lance to be twenty-five PAGES; lots to
be drawn to decide who should have
the first FIRE, and the duel to cease
after the first exchange of shots. M.
Pachatery was anxious that the duel
should 90 on until one or the other
was disabled, but his amiable wishes
on this point were over ruled, aud the
affair arranged to take place on a "one-
shot-apiece' basis. To compensate
him for his disappointment the editor
won the right Of first fire, and, level
ling his weapon, discharged it. Being.
however, more skillful with the pen
than with the pistol, he missed his
man. Now" exclaimed the officer.
trinmphantly, for my turn" 'sYYes
sir" calculated the editor, with sub.
lime insouciance, fire" The officer
accordingly fred, but beyond an un-
pleasant whistle close to his ear. the
