The Origin OF Fencing.

From the first invention of the sword
down to the period when the fifteenth
century was drawing to n close, tins
wcapon had always been used as an arm
Of oircnse. The person wieldingit thrust
{ or hewed it into the body OF his an.
laoonist whenever he had chance, and
The only defense against il was stout
armor or an interposed shield. 1t lsnot
to DO supposed that an ancient warrior
Or one belonging to the earlier Fiddle
Ares. never thrust aside or parried with
his own blade stroke of his enemy
sword: but this method OF defense was
not depended upon in those days; the
breast-platc. the helmet, or the burkler
was expected to shield the soldier while
he was endeavoring TO get his own
sword into some unprotected portion OF
the body of his antagonist. But about
the time of Ferdinand and Isabella oil
Spain, he science of fencing was IN
vented. This new system OF lighting
gave an entirely new use to the swOrui
i now became weapon OF defense as
well AS oll'ense. Long, slender rapiers,
,harpened only at the point, were the
swords used in fencing. Armed WIN
onc of these, gallant knight, or high
.oned courtier, who chose the new
method of single combat, disdaincd the
use of armor; the strokes of his oppon-
ent were warded off by his own light
weapon, and whichever of the two con
,estants was enabled to disarm the 9th,
er or to deliver thrust which could
not be parricd, could drive the sharp
point of his rapier into the body OF his
opponent if he felt SO inclined, ,,,rn, IhG
rapier, which was adapted to combat
between two persons, and not for gen
eral warfare, soon became the weapon
Of the duelist; and, as duel8 used to be
aS common as lawsuits are now, NJ was
thought necessary that gentleman
should know how to fence, and thu
nrotcct the life and honor OF himself, hi
family and his riends.-John Le0ecS' !

Personal Beauty.

Tie first principle Of beauty, as prOc-
ticed ia this progressive town, Is, How
to be beautiful"
The wife Of an army officer accompa-
MED her husband many years ago to his
post in distant frontier town. Among
tho acquantlnces she formed there was
u lady who, if remarkable at all, was
noted for being exceedingly homely,
awkward, and commonplace. She had
q waist Ike o barrel shoulders pitched
forward, a rough, thick skin, coarse
black huir, large, bold eyes, great feet;
and besides nil these physical defects
she was dreadfully demonstrative IN
manner. She was the senior by several
years of the officers wife. After n time
the fortunes of war retired tho son OF
Mars, who settled his family III Wash
ington. In the meantime the lever OF
politics had lifted tho husband of the
homely lady into Congress, and the two
friends met in society last winter. Mrs.
Mars could not believe her eyes, so great
was tho transformation in the appear
anco Of her old acquaintance. Mrs.
Congress looked ten years younger than
the junior lady The many ripplcs OF
soft auburn hair; complexion smooth
and white fashion OF dropping the
darhIy fringcd eyelids, with o faint
shading ON the under lid, gave to the
eyes It marked expression OF shyness
aud lNnguor. Her manner was full OF
reposc, and atriiiugly graceful her feet
the perfection Of symmetry, IN French
boots; the hands hud the refinement OF
pink nails and taper fingers, and even
her voice had changed and dropped into
those sweetly modulated tones which
pass current for thorough breeding In
good society. Poor, myshiied Mrs.
Mars looked and wondered, pondering
on all this, asking herself and others
Glow in the world did she accomplish
such n mctamorphosy?" How? How

II was only people who had been
killed that were considered good for
food. Those who died natural death
were never eaten-invariably buried
But it certainly is q wonder that the isles
we're not altogether depopulated, owing
to the number who were killed. Thus,
in Namena, i'll the year 1851, fifty bodies
we're cooked for one feast. And when
the men Of Bau wero at war with tho
men of Vcrata they carried off 2G0 bodies,
seventeen of which were piled on a
canoe and sent to Rewa, where they
were received with wild Joy, dragged
about town and subjected to every
species Of indignity ere they finally
reached the ovens. Then, too, iustthinkof
the number Of lives sacrificed IN coun.
try where infanticide was a recognized
institution, and whero widows were
strangled as II matter Of cOurse Why,
on one occasion, when there had been Il
horrible massacre Of Nomcna people at
Viva, and upward of 100 fishermen had
been murdered, and their bodies carried
as bOEola to the ovens at Bau, no less
than eighty women were strangled TO do
honor to the dead, and corpses lay in
every direction about the mission station.
It is just thirty years since the Rev.
John Watsfcrd, writing from hero,
described how twcnty-eight victims had
been seized in one day while fishing.
They were brought here alive, and only
stunned whcI put into the ovens, Some
Of the miserable creatures attempted t.
escape from tae scorching bed of red-hot
stones but only to be driven back aud
buried in that living tomb, whence they
were taken few hours later to feast
their barbarous captors. He adds that
more human beings were eaten on this
little isle of Bau than anywhere else in
Fiji. 1t is very hard, indeed, to realizc
that the peaceful village on which an
now looking has really been the scene
of such horrors ~ these, and that many
of the gentle, kindly people around mt
have actually taken part i'll thcm.-A

The Whip.Po0r.Will.

As the dusk gathers ! hear the first

What close observers of the seasons are

the arrival of the nocturnal songster as

May. Dr.. Brewer claims never to have
heard these notes later than August; but
in late September, in nights walk
through the Hidden glories of the Rama

song. No other American bird is so

Testimony OF Experts.

An action was brought by an attor-
ney-at-law against his client to recover
$4,000 for loyal services, and in proving
the value of these services he put upon
the stand as witnesses five fellow-attor-
ncys, who estimated their value from
Sj,4i0 to $1,000. The plaintiff recOv-
cred u Judgment of $500, the Court
having charged the jury that they
should find their verdict on the testi-
mony Of the attorneys, and the defend
ant carried the case up to the Supreme
Court of the United States. In this
case, Head Us. Hargravc, that court, in
April, reversed the Judgment. Mr.. JUS
tice Field, in the opinion, said:
"The evidence OF experts as TO the
value of professional services does not
differ in principle from such evidence
as to the value of labor in other de-
partmentS of business, or as to the value
of property. So far from laying aside
their general knowledge and ideas, tho
jury should have applied that knowl-
edge and those ideas to the matters of
fact in evidence in determining the
weight to be given TO the opinions ex-
pressed, and it was only in that way
that they could arrive at Just conclu-
sion. While they cannot act in any
case upon particular facts material to
its disposition resting in their private
knowledge, but should be governed
by the evidence adduccd they may,
and TO act intelligcntly they must,
Judge of the weight and force of
that evidence by their own general
knowledge Of the subject of inquiry.
If, for example, the question were as to
the damages sustained by plaintiff from
Il fracture of his leg by the careessness
Of n defendant, the jury would i'll per-
form their duty, and probably come to
u wrong conclusion. if, controlled by
the testimony Of the surgeons not
merely rs to the injury inflicted, but as
to the damages sustained, they should
ignore their own knowledge and ex
pcriencc of the value of a sound limb
Other persons beside professional mel
have knowledge of the value OF pro
iessional services, and, while grea
weight should always be given to th'
opinions OF those familiar with the sub
iecl, they are not to be blindly received
but are 10 be intclligcntly examined by
the Jury in the LIGHT OF their own gen
cral knowledge they should contro

A Sad Story of n Wrecked Life.

The most thrilling and sadly sugges-
tive temperance lecture is the sight OF
once noble, talented man, left in ruins
Ivy intoxicating drink. A Washington
paper tells OF ragged beggar, we'll
known in'the streets OF that city, who
once held an important command in the
army, having been promoted for personal
bravery, from n cavalry Lieutenant to
nearly the highest rank in military ser
vicc. One night, not long ago, when he
had been too successful in begging
liquor to safe his craving, and while
lying helplt ssly drunk in the rear part
Of Third street saloon, some men
thought to play joke on him by steal
ing his shirt, and proceeded to strip
him.
Underneath his shirt and suspended
by string from his neck, was q small
canvas bag, which the men opened and
found it contained his commission as
Brevet Major Genaral, two congratu-.
latory letters-one from Gen. Grant ana
one from President Lincoln-a photo
graph of " little girl, and curl OF haf
"a "chcstnut shadow" that doubtless
| one day crept over the brow OF some
| loved one. :,
| When these things we're discovered
even the half-drunken men who foune
them felt respect for the mans Tor
mcr greatness, and pity for his fallel
condition, and quietly returned the ba'

Apropos OF General Shcrman's visit to
Denver, story is told of the Generals
experience with Henry Clay Dean. The
two had been friends for years, and when
Sherman became General and Dean
happened to bein Washington, the later,
naturally enough, felt desire to renew
the old acquaintance.
lie called at Sherman's house and was
received with open arms. They talked
over old times, aud nothing would do
but Dean must stay TO dinner.
But, General" demonstrated Mrs.
Sherman in her husbands ear, :" / can't
have such n dirty looking man at my
table can't you spruce him up lit
tle?'
The General said he'd fix thpt, and so
ut an opportmc moment he hustled Mr..
Dean up stairs, ransacked n bureau, and
produced clean shirt for him to put on.
Mrs. Sherman was Modified, aud the
dinner was really u charming affair, for
there is no moro delightful, entertaining
and instructive conyersationalist than
Henry Clay Dean.
One year after this event General
Sherman was at the Lindcll Hotel, st.
Louis, with his family. A card was
brought up bearing Henry Clay Deans
uumc.
Mrs. Sherman was much pleased.
" lIo is such charming talker, We
must have him to dinner. Only you
must sec that Inc looks prcsentable."
These wcro madam's words to the
warrior.
SO Sherman welcomed Dean, and,
just before going to dinner, slipped him
into side room and gave INN clean
shirt to wear. Dean dollrd his coat and
vest, and, after several desperate efforts,
succeeded IN diyesling himself of the
sIiit he had on--a soiIed, grimy, black
thing, that looked rs if it had seen long
and hard service. Then they all went
down TO dinner, and Mr.. Dean was moro
charming than ever, and Mr.. Sherman
was in cls'acles
The next day, rs Mrs. Sherman was
getting her husbands duds and clothes
together preparatory to packing them
for the onward march, she gave n sort
of Wild, hunted scream.
"What is it, my DEAR called Ae
General from the next room.
"Just como in hero for n minute" f."
replied Mrs. Sherman, between faint
gasps.
The General went in. There stood
Mrs. Sherman holding in her left hand
the begrimcd shirt Henry Clay Dean
had left. with her right hand she
pointed TO certain initials on the lowel
edge Of the bosom. The initials reat
"W. s. T."
1t was the identical shirt Genera
Sherman had loaned Henry Clay Deal
in Washington twelve months before
