A Tragical Duel.

The Paris Chdr;c0ri gives o. fol-
lowing history OF 70 famous iraSlcal
duel:
Colonel D-y, one of the most ter
rihle firc-catcrS of the Restoration, had
taken shelter from the rain one even
ing under the gallery Of the Pano-
ralnas. y young medical student
passes by. with his sweetheart on his
arm he imagines that the colonel
starcs insolently at her, and forthwith
slaps the coloncl's face. The latter
very coolly produces his card, demands
that of the mar who thus insultcC
him, and observes as he receives it:
"You do not know what YOU have
done, Young man 8; you have struck
Colonel D-y."
The student turned pale or hearing
that terrible name. Nevertheless, as
he is a man Of courage, the duel is
agreed upon. In order to cqualizc the
chances, pistols are chosen. The alt
vcrSarirs were posted at twenty PAGES
apart, with permission to shoot as they
pleased, and to advance close to one
another. The student raises his
weapon, takes good long aim at tho
colonel, and misses him. The colonel
advances with steady strides, comes NJ
to his adversary, places his hand upon
the lads breast, and after 4 moments
silence, cXclaims:
"This heart does not beat too quick
ly, considering it is the heart of imam
who is going TO die"
= Then he places the muzzle of his
pistol to the young mans forehead
and blows his brains out.

THE AERIAL VISITOR.


BosToN, Mass, Oct. 9.-Prof. Pick
ering, of Cambridge, one Of the lead
ing astronomers OF the country, was in
terviowed in relation to the opinion of
Prof Proctor and other eminent
English aud Continental scientists
that the present comet is that of 1913
and 1880 and that it will again return
in October, 1888, and fall into the sun,
causing a terrible disaster to the earth.
The professor said
You may say that the scientists and
Cambridge Observatory hold no such
views. They have no fears of the
ea,th's destruction through any such
| collision between the sun and comet.
/ The probable explanation of Prof,
Proctor's theory is that he believes that
/ the comet Of 1913 reappearod in 1880
and has egain appeared at the ~ -seat,'
time. From this it is probable mat no
iniers that the periods Of the comets
appearance arc growing leHa aud less,
thus showing q shortening OF its orbit,
which he claims will eventually. as it
approaches nearer and nearer the sun,
cause it to tumble into it.
Prof. Proctor did not at first believe
] Nhth Aht BANnNht NOiAtt was int hulHt
tina.
CAME TO THE ASTRONOMERS
in 1913 and 1880, but is now satisfied
that it is the same one. This conclu-
sion on his part mny have been helped
by the report of Prof Boss, of the Dud-
ley Observatory, who claimed that the
comet Of those years is but the reap
pearance of the same one at different
periods OF time The latter professor
expressed his belief that it would again
appear in 1884, which is one year later
than Prof. Proctor's prophecy, and that
it would then be 30 near the sun as to
pass into its rays, and that it would
in all probability never appear again.
In this conclusion he differs from the
London professor, insomuch that the
former predicts that the comet will be
destroyed without materially disturbing
the solar system or in any way damag-
ing the earth. This claim is based
on the fact that this comet is the same
ono that appeared in 1913 and 1880,
and has been gradually decreasing its
orbit, and is now appearing after in
tervals OF two years, instead of thirty
or forty years. The professors OF the
.. Cambridge Observatory do not believe
THAT THE PRESENT COMET
is the same one that appeared in 1880,
although they are somewhat similar.
Prof. Chandler has computed that
the comet OF 1889 will not return until
after period of thirty or forty years,
nor do the Cambridge professors believe
that the present comet will return in
1884. AT the last time an observation
was made, two or three days ago, the
mornings being so cloudy lately us to
f1ntoriere with inc astronomers obserl
walton, it was shown that it was grad
ually rocediug from the sun and earth
and they are at work computing its OF
bit. They believe it will not return in
several yeara As it is, they haven't
the least apprehension of the terrible
calamity predicted by Prof. Proctor.
Tho latter gentleman is popular as.
Economical lecturer, but not a mathe
matician, and it is more than probable
the he, having read the report Of Prof
Boss that the present comet is tho same
one as appeared in 1s43aud 1880, came
to the conclusions adopted.

Two Rolls Of Bnnks Bills.

The story is told Of Hartford gem
tleman who lost one hundred dollars in
bills, and remembering that ho had hud
the money last ut butchers went there
to learn that just after he had left a
man came to the shop to make some
purchases. He felt in his pocket az il
he had lost something. Then looking
down he saw a roll Of bills on the floor,
picked it up and counted it. There was
Just one hundred dollars, and from it
he paid for what he had bought. A
week later the second person returned
the ono hundred dollars to the first,
with tho following strange explanation:
On the day referred to, he had been
out to Windsor TO collect some money,
and in his haste to return to Hartford
thrust it, one hundred dollars in bills,
as he supposed in his vest pocket.
Whom he went into the market above
referred to, he naturally felt for his
money, and, missing it, looked around
for it and saw tho roll on tho floor,
which he supposed was his own. He
had used IL during tho week, and only
on that day he had put on his working
coat While at work he wanted a
match, and in feeling through the pock-
put there instead Of his vest pocket.
As soon as possible he won't to the
market to see il any one had lost that
sum Of money, and this led to general
settling round. He did not know at
the timo that he had been suspected
tho thief, and did not imagine that he
was in danger Of arrest.
