DIFFICULTIES.
The duel mentioned in yesterdays STAR as
ptzzling the quidnu of Washington was fought
iour miles from WarrentOn at o'clock Yesterday

marFenton, Was Mr.. Wse's second and Mr..
campbell, OF Virginia. was Mr.. Lewis second.
The Richmond authorities learned of the in
tended meeting and sent kilograms all over the
state requesting the arrest of the parties. Mr..
Lewis had considerable difficulty in eluding the
Vlgllance OF the Richmond police. but he got out
OF tie city on a train coming to Washington In
order to reach the place of meeting Lewis had
to ride across the country on horseback ten or
fifteen miles. This delayed him. and he was
nall an hour late in reaching the ground
len PAGES were measured off, and the loaded
pistols placed in the hands of the principals
Wise. it is said, is an excellent shot with pistol
While Lewis is Impractical. Lewis second eau
toned him to fire low. and when the word was
given he shot too low, his ball striking the
ground near Wise's feet. To the surprise of the
party, Wise deliberately raised his pistol and
fired in the air. He could. it is
said, have shot Lewis dead had he
desired. The seconds interposed. and
the affair was settled. Wise's conduct in
shooting in the airs said to have been prompted

Wise, heard of the intende duel, he fastened

means managed to communicate to his
brother Peyton. the fact that he had not made
the alleged offensive remarks about ex-senator
Lewis, on account, of which the
challenge passed. Peyton Wise then
Thought it was too late to draw out
of the affair, but at once concluded that he did
not desire the life of man who had been in

Lewis shot and to fire his own pistol in the air.

The Views of Senator Bayard.
The Wilmington Delaware Ne,cs this morning
publishes an interview with Senator Bayard
with regard to the political situation conse-
quent upon the death of the President and the
elevation of General Arthur to the presidency.
He though comment at present was peculiarly
uniting, but after giving expression to his
sorrow, he went on to say that, after all, the
country was going under an administration that
it had in a great measure prepared itself for;
there would be no crisis nor any evil resulting
from it. Referring to the question as to the inn
mediate resignation of the Cabinet, he said he.
of course, took it for granted that the members
would at once resign. Such course would be
proper and according to CUSTOM He said the
people would not take in good part any change
in the administration that would stop in any
measure the good work, for instance, like that
against the instigatOrs Of the star route fraud,
and that as Arthur was a deXtrOus political
manager he would, of course, see this and put
off for the present, at least, any change in the
Cabinet.
The Decorations at the White House.
The decorations of the White House, out of
memory of the deceased President were COM
pleted last evening. The work has been very
neatly and Hastily done. The north front Of the
house and the east andwest sides are hung in
graceful folds of black, with heavy gatherings IS

Red.snappers from the Gulf Of Mexico,

The supply of this fish along the whole
gulf coast is inexhaustible. The red.
snapper grounds are estimated to extend
100 miles. 1t is only question of labor
what amount can be caught. They are
found in countless myriads at all sea.
sons, at a certain depth Of water, sav
from fifty to eighty feet. They are
caught with lines having a number of
hooks, which are eagerly seized by the
fish. 1t is pretty hard work to draw up
| these lines with such number OF these
heavy fish attached to them. Wind
IL sses are frequently used to draw them
up. In very few hours the wells of the
smacks are filled with them. TO pre-
vent their floating, and keep them alive
until the port is reached. it is necessary
20 reduce their bulk by compressing
| the large access OF air accumulated in
| their long passage from the great depth
| of water in which they are caught to
the surface This is done by small
incision just below the gills, which
| operates as vent through which the
air escapes until the fish is reduced to
It's natural size, so that it sinks and keeps
alive and healthy. 1t was through
this simple suggestion that the red
snapper became great commercial fish
Previously it was found difficult to bring
them to market fresh. Now they can
be caught in far greater abundance than
any other fish. There is a large fleet
and large number of men engaged in
the fishery. AS the value and cheap
ness of the red-snapper begins to be
generally appreciated throughout the
West. this industry will be greatly in
creased. With enterprise, and labor,
and cheap transportation we believe
| that in time this business will eoual in
its proportions and extent the cod and
mackerel fisheries OF Massachusetts.
The abundance of the red-snappers in
the gulf is equal, ifnot superior, to that
of the cod off the coast of ofNewioundland.
Ii is far better fish than either, and in
wolves less labor and expense in filling
the demand and in Transporting it fresh
to any OF the interior towns.-Nea0 Or

4 Brave Old Woman.

There was a runaway on Broad way
in New York and lady and child were
in great danger. One gentleman seized
the lady and drew her in safety to a
doorstep. Another grabbed the child
and carried it out of danger but nobody
apparently thought of stopping the
horse except an old y oman, who sprang
forward and with both hands seiz I'd the
horse by the bit. The beast reared and
lifted the lacy clear from the ground,
but she held fast to her hold and
finally brought him all painting to
a standstill. Then she released him
to the charge of some men, and while
contemplating ruefully the glove she
had torn by her effort a gentleman
begged the pleasure of the brave
woman's name. What " for ?" she
queried. /" In order that your brave
action may have done it the honor it
deserves" was the answer. "Oh, that
is it," replied the practical and nervy
woman. 'Well, l am Mrs. Robert
Lanier, and live in Philadelphia. Ny
husband was a soldier in the regular
army-the cavalry-and was with him
on the plains" Then, after pause, and
CLAN cling about half apologetically, she
added: Il know how to break mus
tangs." With this she hailed down
town car, and, acknowledging with a
grave courtesy he lifted hats OF the hall
dozen of gentlemen who had come up,
disappeared.

Importance of a Clean Skin.

Most of our invalids are such, and
millions of more healthy people will be-
come lnvalids, for the want of paying
the mo- t ordinary attention to the re-
quirements of the skin. The membrane
is TOO often regarded as a covering only,
Instead ofa complicated piece of machin-
cry, scarcely second in its texture and
sensitiveness to the ear and eye. Many
treat it with as little reference to its
proper functions as if it were nothing
better than bag for their bones. II is
this reconsideration for the skin that ia
the cause of very large proportion OF
the diseases OF the world. II, as claimed
by some scientists, four-fifths, in the
bulk, of all we eat and drink must either
pass off through the skin or be turned
back upon the system as poison, and
that life depends as much upon those
exhalations through the skin as upon
inhaling pure air through the lungs, it
must be of the most vital importance to
keep the channel free.

Nautical Terms.

An "old tar has recently prepared a
handbook of nautical terms for the use
of persons who intend to follow the sea-
In order to correct popular belief our
author gravely asserts that the berths
on board ship do not necessarily add to
the census. The hatchways are not
hens nests. The weigh of the ship is
not the extent of her avoirdupois. The
boatswain does not pipe all hands with
a meerschaum. The ship does not have
a wake over a dead calm, The swell of
ships side is not caused by dropsy,
nor is the taper OF bowspriJ a tallow
candle. The hold is no5 the vessels
grip. The trough of the ship is not dug
out of the ships log. The crest of a
wave is no indication of its rank. The
buoy is not the captains son. The men
are not beat to quarters with club.
Ships are never boarded at hotels. The
bow of ship is no evidence of polite
ness. A sailors stockings are never
manufactured from a yarn of his own
spinning. The sails of ship are not
made by an auctioneer, nor are the stays
constructed by a milliner.-San Fran
cisco NeDS Letter.

The Sand Blast.

Among the wonderful and useful In
ventions of the times is the common
sand blast. Suppose you desire piece
of marble for a grave stone, you cover
the stone with a sheet cf wax no thicker
than a wafer; then you cut in the wax
the name, date, etc., leaving the marble
exposed. Now pass it under the blast
and the sand will cut it away. Remove
the wax and you have the raised letters.
Take piece Of French plate glass, say
two by six feet, cover it with fine lace
and pass it under the blast, and not a
thread of the lace will be injured, but the
sand will cut deep into the glass whrr-
ever it is net covered by the lace. Now
remove the lace and you have every
delicate and beautiful figure raised
upon the glass. In this way beautiful
figures of all kinds are cut in glass and
Mt q small expense. The workmen car
hold their hands under the blast with
out harm. even when it is rapid ly
cutting away tie hardest glass, iron Oh
stone, but they must look out for finger
nails, for they will be whitfield off right
hastily. If they put on steel thimbles
to protect the nails it will do little good
for the sand will soon whittle them
away; but if they wrap piece of sof
cotton around them they are safe. You
will at once see the philosophy OF it
The sand whittles away and destroys
any hard substance-even glass-bu
does not affect substances that are sol
and yielding, like wax, cotton, or tint
lace, or even the human hand.
