DUEL BETWEEN WOMEN.

patch to the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated
March 20, says the inhabitants of the
beautiful Valley of the Tyron Noun
tain were this morning startled by the
discovery Of q tragedy, startling, sick
ening, and romantic In its details, it
being no less than a deadly duel be-
tween two women, to decide which of
the twain should have solely the af1ec-
tion Of man who had been paying at
tention to them both. Last night they
met, and, after desperate hand-to-
the held, although, as the sequelproved,
her defeat was encompassed by means
of foul play. ..#..n 'e,as ..e
Robert 9. Elby, a young farmer In
humble life, lived near the scene of the
tragedy. A year ago he was an ardent
suitor for the hand of Miss Oracle
Mills, who lived just over the South
Caroline line; but, although he courted
her frequently, she would not. marry
him. Some months since he met Miss
Jans Jackson, who lived In the Valley
of Tyron Mountain, here In North Car
olins. and he gave up his long struggle
for the hand of the South Carolina
maiden and transferred his affections to
Miss jackson, upon whose heart, after
aaQEe than one assault, he appeared to
rake some impression. AS soon as the
South Carolina woman discovered this
she ertertsined violent hatred toward
Jane jackson, and the feeling was re.
turned by her rival, who had succeeded
n getting the love of the man which
had been rejected by the woman who
was vexed at not taking II when she
had the chance. Both were robust,
country women, and 1t was thought
that there would be trouble between
them, a. each had on more than one
occasion denel the other. 5.4
Last night Miss jackson was sitting
In the house with a friend, Dora Spen-
Ger. Just at dark voice was heard
from the road calling Jane jackson.
Jane got up and went out, and never
returned. This morning when search

flush obtained Tipsie for twenty slugs-
only $1,000 when the Colonel had al
ways said there was not gold enough on
top of the ground to buy her, Mud
Gllch experienced decided sensation. "
But when the Colonel, after remaining
in the barber shop for half an hour,
emerged with his face clean shaved and
his hair nicely parted, betting. was so
wild that o cool headed sporting man
speedily made a fortune by betting
against every theory that had been ad-
vanced.
Then the Colonel made tour of the
store and fitted himself with a new suit
of clothes, carefully eschewing all of the
gorgeous patterns and pronounced col
ors so dear to the heart of the average
miner. He bought new hat and put
on pair Of boots. and pruned his finge err
nails, and stranger than all, he mildly
declined all invitations to drink.
As the Colonel stood at the door of
the principal saloon, where the stage al
ways stopped, the Challenge Hill con-
stable was seen to approach the Colonel
and tap him on the shoulder, when all
the men who bet that the Colonel was
lodging somebody claimed the stakes
But those who stood near the Colonel
heard the constable say:
Colonel, take it all back. When l
seed you go out to Challenge Hill it
came to me that you might be in the
road-agent business. But when I seed
you sell Tipsie knew was on the
wrong trail. I wouldn't suspect you
how if all the stages in the world was
robbed; and I'll give you satisfaction any
way you want it,"
"It's all right" said the Colonel, with
smile.
The constable afterwards said that no.
body had any idea how curiously the
Colonel smiled when his beard was of.
Suddenly the stage pulled up to the
door with a crash, and the male pas
sengers hurried into the saloon in a
state of utter indignation and impecuni-
osity.
Tie story of the robbery attracted
everybody, and during the excitement
the Colonel slipped out quietly and
opened the door of the stage. The old
lady started and cried:
"George?"
And the Colonel jumped into the
stage and, putting his arm tenderly
around the trembling form of the old
lady, exclaimed:
"Motherw

"Oh!' Robin couldn't help that little
gap. "Yes'm," he said. IL guess

Nora was moving about in the dining
room. Mamma called to her.
"You may save that piece of lemon
pie which was left from dinner for Lou.
She will be hungry when she gets
home"
Robin liked lemon pie better than he
did peanuts, which is saying good
deal.
where is Lou?" he asked.
Lou? Oh, she's gone to ri,ie with her
papa"
Was ever anything so awful? Lemon
pie and gone to ride and more lemon pie!
And all the while he had been playing in
that hateful creek. Robin caught his
breath.
I'm pretty hungry, he gasped.
Hungry" echoed mamma, looking at
the clock. "Wby, haven't you been to
dinner"

"Well, you may ask Nora to give you

Something hot rolled down Robins
cheek.

prise. Aren't you Mrs. Doran's little

Poor Robin! Tiny rivers of tears be-

hands.

miserable; and I'm sorry's ever can

He did. He ate great deal of bread

never will again. Youths Companion.

Don't Girls.

Don't think it necessary for your hap
piness that every afternoon be spent in
making calls or on the street shopping.
Home is not mere hotel wherein to eat
and sleep-too dreary to be endured
without company from abroad; home
woik is not mere drudgery, but useful
ministration to those we love.
Don't mistake giggling for cheerful
ness, slang phrases for wit, boisterons
rudeness for frank gayety, impertinent
speeches for repartees. On the other
hand, don't be prim, formal, stiff. nor as
sumo country face" eloquent of
"prunes. potatoes, prisms," nor sit bolt
upright in corner, hands, feet, eyes and
lips carefully posed for effect. An effect
will be produced, but not the one you
wish. Nor yet sit scornfully reserved,
criticising mentally the dress, manners,
looks, etc. of those around you. Make
up your mind that your companions are,
on the whole, pretty nice set of people
If they are not, you had no business to
come among them. that there is some
thing to respect and like in each of them.
Determine to have a nice time anyhow
then do your part to. make it so. Be
genial, cordial, frank. II you can play
and sing ordinarily well do not refuse to
take your share in entertaining your
companions in that way. You cannot be
expected to sing like Nilsson or Kel-
logg. If you cannot play or sing, say SO
frankly, and do not feel Inundated. You
probably excel in some other accom-
plishment. Even il you do not, you can
possess that one grand accomplishment
to which all others are accessories, that
of being "a lady"-a true woman, gentle
and gracious, modest and lovable.

WOn's ChurD.

Notwithstanding the patent Office at
Washington has issued more patents to
inventors of churns than for any other
branch OF industry by which labor is to
be saved, still the turning of the ever
lasting crank is seen in motion on almost
every farm, and in most cases the tired
arms of the weaker sex has to bear the
burden. We have often looked upon
this operation, and hoped that the time
would come when some means for q re-
lease from the trouble could be secured.
We feel pretty much like Josh Billings
when the virtues of the churn. in his de-
lineation of the Grandpa" whom, he
says, sis of promiskious temperament,

"Granpa's" are not entirely useless, and
shows in how many ways they can be ad-
vantageously employed. among others
he includes that of churning, but adds:

Running Away.

Robin was out on the piazza with q
pout on his lips and big shade-hat on
his head, making up his mind to run
away. Had q pretty home and mamma
who was always doing nice things for
him; and papa with q deep pocket In
his coat; and q sister Lou who didn't
tease him very much; and Nora forever
making saucerpies and plum cakes, and
IN Aunt Helen to read to him the stories
he liked best But his mamma wouldn't
let him go and sail make believe ships in
the creek with little Tim Doran.
Only one morning Aunt Helen had
taken him for walk along the bank of
the creek, and Robin filed his hands
with star flowers, violets and primroses.
But presently they came to where lit
tie barefoot Tim, with his ragged trou-
sers rolled up to his knees, was loading
big chips with pebbles and pushing them
out into the water.
1t looked delightful to Robin. He
dropped the flowers he picked for
mamma.
"Oh, auntie, can't I, too?" he cried.
''No," said Aunt Helen; your mother
wouldn't like it,"
"I'll ask mamma, auick's get home,
Aunt Helen Peabody" he said, GROSSLY,
snatching up handful of flowers.
So he did, and mamma said, mo. no,
indeed!' with kiss for each ''no."
The kiss didn't sweeten Robins disap-
pointment bit. His eyes ran over with
hot, angry tears, and he dug his toes into
the carpet ct an alarming rate.
81 Just wish wasn't your little boy!"
he cried; I'D rather be Mrs. Doran's,
and most balieve I will-so there!'
After awhile, mamma heard the gate
latch clink, and looking out OF the win
dow, she saw pair Of sturdy little legs,
under tapping straw hat, trudging of
in the direction Of the creek.
Mamma understood. She didn't call
Robin back; she only called Lou from
the hammock.
robin has run away" she said. go
down to the store and ask your father to
let lothian 60 to the creek, and see that
he doesn't fall in" lothian was papa's
errand boy.
So Lou went to the store, and mamma
went back to her sewing, and Robin went
on running away.
Before he got to the creek, he spied
Tim sitting in the door Of little tumble
down house, eating bread and molasses.
"Hullow cried Tim.
'Hullo" said Robin. I've come to
play"
''D'your mother say so2" asked Tim.
mo" Robin answered; "but guess
abe won't care much"
"Come on, them said Tim, taking his
last bite Of bread and molasses.
Away they ran to the place where Tim
was playing in the morning. Robin
pulled Oh his boots and stockings, and
splashed his bare feet in the water. and
hurrahed. Yet all the while there was .
little prick in his heart.
They played ''storm at sea-" and spat'
tered the water all over each other with
long sticks. Aud after they were wei
through they played ''ferryboat." with

WEATHER ETHICS.
The Astounding Rain and Mad and
SIush.


The slush in the Eighth ward was six
inches deep in some places.
The skating is quite spoiled and i'll some
places the ice cutting also.
Main street hill was not popular as a pc.
destrian course, yesterday.
If it should now freeze solid, then what?
Sealed proposals for reply.
Leaky roofs suffer from thaws much
more than from hard rains.
Stone sidewalks are very treacherous
when covered with glare OF ice.
"Sheeny" ulsters gave way to gum coats
yesterday to the owners regret.
Iron cellar doors and coal openings in
the sidewalks are good things to avoid.
Mail-carriers enjoy this kind of weather.
If you don't believe it ask one of them.
Put away that pretty red sled you got on
Christmas, Willie. and wait little while.
A cold snap that would harden the water
on the creek ice, would make glorious ska
ting.
Liyerymen who got out and oiled up their
sleighs have put them back and decided to
call it of.
The jingle of sleighbells did not last very
long. Twas sweet, twas heavenly, but

There is q city ordinance in relation to
clearing away the snow from the sidewalks
but it is dead letter.
1t is very fine weather, when viewed
from the window of cosy room and you
know you can stay indoors.
Now ii is certain to be disagreeable, no

mixture will but complicate the evils.
