1t is said that all sailors have large
hearts, but the largest of the class is
within the bosom of that prince of all
gentlemen, Capt. B0uchard of the Van
Raalte. A circumstance was related
to us Yesterday that should be made
mention of, although for obvious reasons
we shall shrOud the name of some of the
parties in mystery. On a recent trip
lady from the old country was reported
to the Captain at Cheboygan. as desirious
of reaching her husband in town not
thousand miles from here, but was Who'll
ly without money, having spent the last
dime i'm getting as far as that place. OF
course the Captain sent word for her to
come aboard. She could not speak a word
of our language, but it needed no Ian
guage but that of the eye 20 convince
that noble hearted man that the woman
was suffering from hunger. He directed
the Stewardess to get her some food but
such had been the poor wOmans priva-
tions that q few mouthfulls Overcame
her ana she tainted. While at st. Jgnace
she was taken worse and Capt B. called
two physicians to attend, her. By good
nursing and kind treatment the lady
was enabled to reach her destination.
The act was done with no hope of reward
but that of consciousness of having
performed charitable act. Such deeds
as that is what has endeared Capt BOu-
chlrd to the people all along the coast
from this place to Cheboygan.-Monia-

Gh.Ssly Settlement of a Dispute

DENVER, Col, Sept. z3.-GoorgC
Howard, owner of q herd of 5000
cattle, and John Kelley, owner of q
herd of 1000, were driving eastward
in company from Arizona. North oil
Trinadad COL, on the plains, the two
herds were to separate. Howard was
to take the old Santa Fe trail to Kan
sas City, aud Kelley was to drive
nOrthWard to Denver. On the route
accidental exchanges Of cattle had
been made, and Howard insisted on
having his stock taken out, but was
unwilling to deliver Keeley's, and it
was finally agreed to settle the matter
by battle between six picked men
from each party. Accordingly twelve
men on horse back-the two sides fifty
feet apa-t--and at a signal from their
employers the light was to begin.
AT the first fire four men were in
stantly killed. George Lester, Of Kee.
ley's party, was shot through the
breast. One of Howard s men fell with
ball through his head, and two others
of the same party We're shot through the
heart. Dismayed, the Howard party.
with the exception of their employer,
fled to their camp. Keeley then rode
up to Howard and proposed that they
should fight it out. Howard declined,
saying that he understood the matter to
have been settled according to the terms
of battle made beforehand. An equita-
BILE exchange of cattle was then made.
The dead were buried by the other men
from both parties, and the drovers, with
their herds in charge, separated for
their respective routes.

APrIHo Beauty.

NuhElOJL9 OUbOIN0Es
The prize offered to the most beauti.
ful woman at the peoples festiva
in Buda Pesth, Hungary, created q
national sensation, and attracted an
immense multitude to witness tho com
petition. Over one hundred and fifty
women presented themselves before thu
bench OF judges. They were inspected
one at a time and each candidate as
soon as judged was passed ON to q wait
ing room.
When the whole number had been re-
viewed they were again taken before
the judges sinGly, and finally all were
placed together in line. After criti
cal inspection the ten most beautiful
ones were selected and the rest dismiss.
ed, and then from this smaller number
the two lovliest of all were chosen for
the first and second prizes. But this
was work of difficulty and was not
settled to the satisfaction of all. The
victor in the tournament was Miss Cor.
nelia Szekley, a maiden Of sixteen, the
daughter of an official in the imperial
b household.
Her claims to beauty rest upon a
charming transparent complexion,
melting brown eyes, small mouth,
rich dark brown hair, and form of
youthful grace but her features are
not wholly regular, and the mouth and
the head are not perfect in shape. Her
photograph, taken In dress that is
being made for her by the first dress
maker of Hungary, is to be sent to all
the illustrated journals of Europs for
publication. The prizes were bracelets
of gold inlaid with precious stones and
Of rare workmanship. The competi-

of female loVeliness, and they are TAX

The Great Comet.

BOSTON, September % An ap-
proximate computation of the new
comet, completed by Mr.. 8, c. Chandler
Jr., at Harvard Observatory, at one
o'clock this morning, based upon the
observation of Professor Swift, of Gin
cinnati, on the 18th instant. at l.3O P.
M, on the 10Th instant, at Cam bridge,
and that at II o'clock A. M. on the Goth
instant, also at Cambridge, is as fol-
lows. Time of perihelion passage 1882,
August 30; longitude of perihelion 27l,
longitude of node 173, inclination of
orbit II, periheion distance $1,000, 900
miles. At the time of the first observa.
tion the comet was about $4,000, 900
miles from the earth, and at the time
of the three observations $4,000, 900
miles. This corresponds 10 a rate of
speed of 1,5OO,O 900 miles day. As
suming the above to bo correct, the
comet will approach within 100000
miles of the earth, being nearest in the
early part of October, but will be Wis
ible only in the Southern Hemisphere,
and will probably be visible above the
horizon fora few days here at little
before sunrise.

Considering a Cali for BODd dis.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The Secre'
tary of the Treasury is considering the
advisability of issuing call for bonds,
and it is probable that decision will
be arrived at and action taken to.mor-
row. The surplus money in the Treas.
ury has been considerably overestina-
ted. 1t is in fact only $i37, 100000, or
about the usual reserve of forty per
cent held to secure the legal-tender cir
culation. Nearly $16,00O,0O0 of binds
which have been already called have
not yet been presented for redemption,
and this circu instance may have some
influence on the course to be pursued
by the Treasury Department. The
present high premium is likely to pre-
vent the purchase of bonds, 80 that if
any action is takenGto' morrow it will be
in the direction OF call for the extend.

Indnn1rInl and Ar ExponI,Ion

The Industrial and Art Exposition
that will be held by the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland in the City
of Washington, offers an excellent op-
portunity to the manufacturers of this
state to display their productions. The
rules that will govern the Board of
Award will be similar to those adopted
and observed at the Centennial in 1876.
The exposition will be held in the 70.
tunda OF the United States Capital, and
will open on the 2joh day of Novem
Der, and continue until the Sd day of
December. The object is to raise the
greatest possible amount of funds to aid
in the erection of statue at Washing
ton, to the memory and honor of tho
late President Garfield. 1t has been
suggested that the fund already raised
in this city should be donated to the
society, as Wilmington's share toward
the proposed monument. Any further
information that may be needed in re-
gard to the exposition can be had by
the chairman John W.
Thompson, Washington, p. C.,who will
answer all inquiries.
