ONE of the most implacable and high
toned duels Of modern times was re-
Gently fought in Madrid between two
musicians. The challenging party dared
his adversary to play the piano with
him until one or the other should be
stopped by overpowering fatigue or
death. The duel lasted forty-eight hours,
without rest or refreshment. Several
blocks in the vicinity Of the conflict
were temporarily depopulated. The
"weapons" became heated by contin-
uous use to the point of spontaneous
combustion. One of the combatants
played, among other pieces, the "Mise-
rere," from "Trovatore," one hundred
and ffty-nine times, and had just began
to repeat it, when he keeled over a
corpse. His adversary at the same mo-
ment fell into the arms of an attendant,
a hopeless lunatic.

The excursion 10 Chattanooga on the 4th
of May bids fair to be grand success. The
tickets are selling rapidly, which is not as
tonishing, as the rate is exceedingly low,
and those wishing to avail themselves Of
the chance to see the beauties of our South
ern Railroad, and enjoy short sojourn In
the historical and romantic city and neigh
borhood of Chattanooga should procure
them at once. Mr.. Frank Reynolds, in the
interest of the Stone Lake Ice Co., is leav-
ing no stone unturned to make the affair a
success, and most enjoyable one. The
tickets are only $6 so the round trip, and
every preparation Is being made to receive
the excursionists at the other end, as well
as provide for them during taeir ten hours
ride Refreshments will be served on the
train, and every body can rest assured OF

HIGHLAND HOUSE ATTRACTIONS.
The New Inclined Plane Railroad
Completed, the House Refttted,
and the Season About to
Reopen.

The completion of the Eden Park (or
Highland House) Inclined Plane and its
opening to travel is an event that merits
more than a passing notice. The old In
clined Plane, which was discontinued and
torn away last November, to be replaced
by this was only an arrangement for ele-
waiting and lowering its two cars by means
of stationary engine and was designed
merely for conveying passengers up and
down the hill. 48.
The present structure is much more ex.
tensivs affair. The track has been widened
and strengthened, and in place Of the two
passenger cars or coaches there are now two
platforms with rail laid down from end to
end and surrounded with q substantial iron
grating upon which the Eden Park horse
cars drive bodily, and with the horses and
passengers are conveyed up or down the
hill and proceed on their way as though
nothing had happened. During the inter-
walls between the passage OF cars the trucks
are available for passengers, wagons, car
riages, or loaded drays, coal carts or any de-
scripti0n of vehicles to 60 up or down the
hill.
At the Highland House everything is
being put In state of thorough renova-

the fountains overhauled; the tables warm
ished and the benches scrubbed. From
the terrace the matchless views still lie un-
rolled in the same panoramic beauty as last
year, and the bridges, the Kentucky hills
shimmering in the distant haze, and with
the apple blossoms white upon the decllvi-
ties. There will be concert by Curriers'
Band, and the whole place ablaze with
light and beauty on Sunday evening, and
later on succession of entertainments to
charm the multitude
Itis.hoped to offer some special attractions
later next week, but the arrangements do
not warrant the announcements now. Mr..
Harff is busy as bee, and Mr.. Kerper is
everywhere at once, but the trucks Of the
incline move up and down without jar,
and everybody is happy.
The same attractions of riding ponies
and rides and drives through Eden Park
will be continued this season, and the
Highland House will be made one Of the
most charming resorts in the United
States. The concerts in the Belvedere will
begin of course as soon as the weather is
sufficiently warm, and all the old attrac-
lions continued throughout the season.

NUMEROUS as the leaves in Val

never was rich Springer in New York,
or that if there was he left no estate,
seems to make no difference with his
multitudinous heirs. They continue to
spring up.

owners of all the adjoining lots The
first thing this city person does is to
search for vegetable and floral cata-
logues by the dozens. The second and
third acts in the drama are to buy a
gunny sack of seeds and cartload of
the latest improved utensils at the i'm
plement store, with which he straight
way blisters his hands. The climax,
however, is reached when he plants his
radishes, and lettuce, and potatoes,
and squashes, and calceolarias,
and peas, and tomatoes, and sun
flowers, and pansies, and cabbages, and
cinerarias, and sugar corn, and gloximas,
and Lima beans, all in the same bed and
waits In blissful anticipation of the in
evitable result. "Your stale vegetables
bought from the city markets." he re-
marks majestically to his wife, "are not
fit food for dog. We must invite our
city friends to spend day with us to
eat succotash after while and let them
see the difference" he adds reflective
ly; meanwhile he digs up his
seeds every other day to see if the beans
are beginning to sprout or the new pota-
toes to set. These are happy days be-
fore the weeds begin to grow in the gar
den and borders, before the sun of June
comes down with such exasperating fury
as he cultivates his estates; before the
tomatoes sprawl over his verbenas and
geranium planted alongside, or are in
turn choked to death by the twining
convolvuli; before his sunfowers over
shadow his more modest mignonette
and lobelia; before his early rose
potatoes refuse to live peacefully in the
same hill with the rampant mammoth
pumpkin vines that cost him rs cents
per packet at the scotsman, and before
his Lima beans have involved them
selves in an inexplicable tangle with the
cobea in wrestle for the supremacy.
But it will be little later on when
your crestfallen city blood will admit
to his better half that there Is
such delicious crispness to
the lettuce that you may
purchase for a nickle of the buxom coun-
try woman in her cap and white apron at
the market stall; such juicy tenderness
in the cucumbers and something in the
flavor and ripeness Of those Tennessee
early potatoes that we do not find in
those we grow at home, while as for
flowers the poor, hard-working florists,
he allows, are very inadequately patron
lied considering the exquisite beauty of
their productions Notwithstanding the
heat and unpropitiousness of the season.
But your city gentleman is a
philosopher, and he refuses to answer
fool according to his folly when one of
his jibing neighbors points to the horse
weed eight feet tall, and jamestown
growing and blooming in the garden,
with request to be told if that is brug-
