A Duel in the Dark.

A letter from Carrizo Pass, six hun.
dred miles west OF Dallas, Texas. gives
an account Of fatal due between two
miners IN the pecos Miuing Company's
camp last Monday +ight. The duelisls

Slratton, both born and raised near Pal
myra, y. Y. They were educated at
Cambridge and the former had gradua-
ted as lawyer, and the latter as a ply
sician, and had served together during
tie var ia New York regiment. Sub.
sequeuily they Ncnt west, but not to-
gether, as a quarrel had occurred, which
would have ended in 5loodshed but for
intCrposlion Of friends. Though theJ
both became miners, they never met
until they encountered one another IN
the PCces minlng camp. Hol lenbeck
vas oYerjoyed to meet Sratton, who re
PEELED bin, an said they would settle
that little unfinished difficulty which
arose between them at their last meeting
Hollenbeck SAID be had forgotten all
about the difficulty referred to-. aud en-
tertained no ill-feeliugs whatever against
him. StrattOn insisted on a settlement
according 10 tile code. Hollenbeck
said if nothing short Of that would do
he would accommodate him. Accord
ingly arrangements were consummated
for duel. They were to fight with
pistols in dark room. All tie ar
rangements being made, they met in a
room as dark as Egypt. They announ.
ced themselves ready, after the words
"One, two, tLrecn from an outsider,
she firing commenced. Stratton had fir
ed twice, but the only response from
Hollenbeck was groan. Stra;ton,
believing he had wounded Hollenbeck,
fired third shot in the direction of the
groanlug. The report Of a pistol came
from corner directly opposite from
that the groan appeared TO proceed,
aad Slratton fell. No more shots were
exchanged, the miners opened the room
and entered. A light revealed that
St:stton bad been killed while Hollen-
beck was unhurt. Hollenbeck is a veu-
triloguist, and on entering the room took
his stand in diagonal corner from his
adversary, and make him believe be
was in the opposite corner, threw his
voice in that quarter OF the room where
the bullets of his adyersary's pistol
harmlessly buried themselves in the
wall. The affair has caused a great
deal Of excitement throughout the
camp; but as anything is called fair in
such business no fault is found by the
miners with the strategy employed by

Ingersoll on Women.

Mr.. Ingersoll, concluded lis speech
for Dorsey in The star.route case said :
This prosecution, this Government,
these attorneys, representing the ajes-
ty of the republic, representing the on
ly real republic that tever existed, have
asked you not only 10 violate the law
Of the land, but also the law OF nature.
They have maligne1 nature they have
laughed at mercy ; they have trsmp.ed
Oh the holiest human ties. they have
even made light because a wife in his
trial has sat by Der husbands side.
There is painting in the Louvre, a
painting Of des olation, Of dispair and
love. Il represents the might of tlie
Crucifxiou." The world is wrapped in
shadow; in the darkness is seen knee
ing form. 1t is Mary MagdaAnc. with
loving lips and hards pressed agains
the bleeding feet Of Christ. The skies
were never dark enough the storm
never fierce enough nor wild enough
The quick bolts OF Heaven were never
lurid enough ; and the arrow Of slandel
never flew thick enough to drive no
BILE woman from her husbands side
Applause And so tits IN all Of hu.
man speech, tie hollest word is "wo-
man."

Afternoon Men.

There Isl proverb which 'ajs' what
can lie done at any time is never done,
and apples especially to class VINO
have become slaves to the habit ol
nrocrastinatiou, and the hab!tual post
ponins Of everything that they are not
cor, PEELED by necessity to do immedl-
a.ely. Now. delays are not dangerous
to present prospects, but they are de-
structiye to ultimate q success. A dlla-
tory man is not to be depended upon.
The slightest pretext is sufficient for him
to disappoint you. If an employe, the
soouer he is discharged the greater the
advantage to the employer. There are
these who may be properly called
afternoon men, They are always busy
getting ready to 60 to work. ln the
morning they walk around, carefully

IS nothing accomplished in whole
life; and their western sun oyertake'
them, and fnds no preparation Tor the

is nothing to look back upon bu

Go Home Boys.

BOYS, don't hang round the corners OF
the street If OH Lave anything % do
do 1t promptly, then 90 right on home.
Home is the place Tor boys. Abou: the
street corners and at the stables they
learn to talk slang, and they learn TO
swear. 10 smoke tobacco, aud to do
many other things which they might not
do. Do your business and then 90
home. II your business is play, play,
and make a business Of 1t. like to
see boys play earnest, healthy games.
If owner OF the town l would give the
boys a good spacious playground, It
should have plenty Of soft, green grass,
aud trees, and fountains, and broad
space to run and jump and play suitable
plays. Iwoul1 make It as pleasant, as
lovely as it could be, and would give il
to the boy 10 play IN; and when the
plays were ended, would tell them 10
90 home. For when boys hang around
the street corners and the stables, they
get slouchy aud listless. Of oil things,
I dislike listless boy or girl. would
have a hundred boys like a hundred
yachts, with every spar straight and
every rope taui, the decks aud sides
clean, tue rigging all in order, and
every thing ready to slip the cable aud
hy before wind, ahen the word comes
10 90. But this cannot be if you lounge
about the streels and loaf about the
corners, aud idle away your time at tic

MARRYING AN HEIRESS.

The great bell had changed; the con-
ductor had shouted 'all aboard" and
we were on the point of starting, when
she entered the car with two bird. cages,
q poodle dog, bouquet and travelling.
bag! Who do mean by "she?n Why,
of course mean the NEST beautiful
woman in the world! She was slight
and dark, with bright brown eyes, hair
curling in flossy tendrills all over her
forehead, and the most enchanting little
retrouse nose that ever bid defiance to
society in general. And the moment
saw her, felt the curious sensation we
all experience at times as if I had known
her all my life!
"Just like woman" said Jones, ito
come on board with forty bundles at the
last moment!"
Iannihilated him with glance, as I
rose promptly. and stepped out into the
aisle.
"Will you have this seat, Miss Silvinx-
ton ?" said ], bowling low, and Offering
to relieve her of her travelling bag and
one of the bird cages. She looked up at
me in surprise.
"Ah," said I, "you think I am con.
jurer. But it Is very simple" pointing
with q smile to the card bearing the
name "Alice Silvington" that was at
tached to the cage. II have often heard
my cousin Nelly Ford speak of her friend
Miss Silvington, and am delighted to
by Of service to you!"
II am much obliged for the seat, sir, /"
said she, coloring little.
And 80, leaning over the back of the
railway settee, began to get comforta-
bly, acquainted with my unexpected
companion. Fortunately for me, a fat
lady got out at the next station, and 1
succeeded in getting the place next to
Miss Silvington.
II am going to Lake Crystal for q
change of air." said she, when at last
our conversation turned on our respec-
tive destinations.
"And l am going to Lake Crystal to
marry an heiress! !" said I.
She looked up with mischievously
sparkling eyes.
Really and truly ?" said she.
Really and truly-always providing
/ can get the heiress to have me. It's q
lady that my sisters wants me to sea
Mics Jessup."
"Ah !" said Miss Silvington. "Is she
pretty ?"
$50 they cay"
"And agreeable?"
$50 am told"
1T must be very pleasant to marry an
heiress," said Miss Silvington, dipping
her pretty little nose into the heliotrope
and mignonette of her bouquet.
IF the heiress is nice!"
"And suppose" with q little shy,
sidelong glance from under her curled
eyelashes, "you don't like her ?"
"Then shall not marry her."
"And suppose-she doesn't like you?"
I smiled. "Then I suppose she will
not marry mel"
And then Miss Silvington declared
that she was sleepy, and laid her head
against an impromptu pillow of travel
ing .shawls that I devised upon the seat :;
and the next we knew the conductor
called out Crystal Lake" and we were
there! And in the genera, crowd and
hustle I lost sight Of Miss Silvington.
