A CITY WHOSE people live entirely upon
themselves may exist, but cannot flourish.
The commerce of Alexandria has been al
most destroyed by Baltimore. and the prox
unity of Washington also seriously irlpairs
the business Of her merchants. Her chief
hope for recuperation and Advancement
therefore depends upon her superior advan
tages a. q manufacturing point. AS these
advantages seem to have no attractions for
strangers, it would certainly not be unwise
for the moneycd men of the city, at least
those among them who are owners of real
estate here. to utilize their advantages
themselves. All that is needed TO effect the
desired purpose is a little unity and enter
prise. large, new and costly cotton fac
tories in other parts of Virginia pay hand
some dividends, why shouldn't one that can
be bought for Il tenth of its cost, or that can
be leased or rented for q mere song, be prof
liable in Alexandria? IF the wheat that is
brought to this market can be sent else
where and be ground at profit, why

is the active, not the idle wealth, of city

for living, and it is the duty as we'll as the

\ REMARKABLE rEL.-Speaking OF Dick
Winshp recalls his famous duel with the
-Frenchman at Marseillcs. Dick was then
second lieutenant of our Scorpion, stationed
there at the time, and, as usual, kept the
whole fleet and half the town on nettles
through his endless practical jokes. The
slang expression for Frenchmen in those
days was ''frog-eaters,' aud the wife OF a
French captain of militia having presented
her lord with twins, Dick had the nerve to
tender the happy father, at public BAN
quet, a stuffed group consisting of a big frog
holding on its knee 4 couple ofsmaller ones.
Of course there was challenge, and when
the captains seconds appeared, Winship, as
the challenged party, gravely insisted on
the duel being fought in the dark, with pis-
tolls, one shot only being allowed each man
This new addition to the code made g ter
rible stir, but as Dick held firm the French
man was finally forced to submit. On the
appointed day, after dinner, the principals
were placed, bindfolded and pistol in hand
in !; room at hotel from which every par
ticlc of light had been excluded. At 4 given
signal on the door the antagonists removed
their bandages to find themselves in abso-
Lutte darkness, listening to the beating of
their own hearts and each afraid to fire first
for fear OF thus exposing his location to the
other. Dick quietly took off his shoes and
feeling for the chimney--in front of which
he had taken care to be placed-he crept up
the hue, descended through trap door in
the root, slipped into a carriage and rejoin-
ed his dinner party, which at once devoted
itself 10 making a night oft in the highest
gee possible. The next morning they re-
turned TO the hotel and opened the room.

Malone who does not now or will not at
some future day severely regret his action.
See the number of examples now in State.

lions with him the more bitter their censure
ofthe man and his measures Who would
have suppos ed two years ago that Massey,

bitter opponents Of Malone Their eyes
have been opened, they have discovered
thai this able and willy leader would lead
