THE effect of the investigation by the spe-
cial committee on the improvement of the
Mississippi river may be to draw the line de-
finitely between the work of protecting the
land from overflow, and securing out bars
that impede navigation at low water, Without
decreasing efforts in either direction. The
bars are all above, and the worst results of
overflow are all below Red river, and the
levees are as good to protect the land below as
the mattresses are to keep the bars secured
out above. The complication, as one can see
who watches the committees questions and
the replies of the engineers, all comes from
giving the wrong reason for the right action,
and this is partly due to the ambiguous word
ing of the appropriation bill. There seem to
be reasons enough for helping the states on
tho lower Mississippi to build levees, but to
keep on calling it work to improve naviga-
tion is like the toper's plan of getting his
regular drinks under the guise of medicine.

Literary Notes.

We have received from the publishers,
Charles Scrtbner's Sons, New York, through
Ballantyne & Son, of this city, ''Miss Gilbert's
Career" and "Nicholas Minturn," both by Dr.
j. G. Holland, being two of the reissue Of the
complete writings OF that author, now being
published by Scribners'. The publishers say
in their prospectus
sit is believed that the aggregate sale Of Dr.
Hollands books, amounting as IL does to half
million volumes, exceeds the circulation OF
the writings Of any other American author.
There is not q single book of his which has
not had an unqueslionable success, and most
OF them have been in such constant and in
creasing demand that the plates are actually
worn out.
Since 'The Bay Path, 'Bittersweet, and
the 'Titcomb Letters were first published
twenty millions of people have boen added to
our population, and an entire new generation
Of readers has come upon the stage. For these
reasons, new edition has become impera-
lively necessary, and the publishers have done
their best to make their part OF the work CORE

A DUEL TO THE DEATH.
The Memorable Meeting Between
Crittenden and Conway, Years

Crittenden and Conway, Years
ARO.
Robert Crlttenden, the brother Of Horny
Crittenden, whose removal to Arkansas have
mentioned, fought very remarkable duel
about the year 1880. He was canvassing the
Territory as n candidate for delegate to Con-
gress, General Conway, the brother OF the sub
sequent Governor of the State OF that name,
being HIS opponent. The latter was "Jack-
son man." while Crittenden was "antiJack-
son" In the political nomenclature of that
day. They met IN debate at Little Rock.
There was an immense concourse OF people
in attendance and tho party feeling ran very
high. The discussion became PERSONAL and
Crittenden, at the close OF his second speech,
remarked that he "trusted no gentleman
would utter words In the heat OF debate to-
ward him such as could not be tolerated by
the code of honor" Conway retorted In n tor
rent of bitter invectiye and personal denun-
Citations. Crittenden briefly and calmly re-

duel, for there had been no attempt made 10
conceal It. Ben Desha, son OF Governor
Deshn, of Kentucky, was Crittendens second,
and Colonel Wharton Rector was the second of
Conway. There was some delay in settling
the prellminaries, at which General Conway
became inpatient and excited, while Critten-
den remained perfectly cool, stretched
quietly on n blanket, with his eyes closed,
as though he were sleeping. Finally the
principals were called to their posi-
tions "The spectators" says an eyewitness,
"at a glance contrasted their aspect and bear
ing. Crittenden inherited the noblest OF human
forms, with fair hair, blue eyes and n lofty
countenance, frank and open in its expression
and wearing the seal of death-defying bravery.
He stood cool, collected and unconcerned, like
n iineman about TO fire at a mark. But Con-
way had stern face, eyes dark as night and
his look OF indubitable courage was percepu-
bly, tinged with revenge.
"At length Desha gave the word in n voice
that rang over the hills like the peal OF a
trumpet 'Firel One-two- -threel' At the
sound Fire Conway raised his weapon and
drew the trigger. His bullet grazed Critten-
dens breast and cut button on his coat with.
out more injury. But Crittcndeu waited until

pistol exploded. General Conway dropped to

need not be afraid to add to the District
bill the amount necessary to put all our

up to 1879, expended less than S6,0o0,00o

THE LARGE UNCLAIMED interest fund in
the Treasury. said to amount to about
$14,000,000, is a source of trouble, because
it is not known how to dispose of it. The
CRITIC can suggest method that will re-
lieve the Treasury officials of any "trouble"
on the subject. 1t is simply to be honest
and inform each of the parties to whom
the interest is due that certain sum is in
the Treasury to his or her credit. A small
percentage of the sum- will procure the
address of every one of the few unknown
owners Of this unclaimed interest, and each
one of them would be glad to pay that per-
centage to recover the remainder.
The only difficulty we see as to the
adoption of this plan is that it is plain,
simple and honest, and therefore not in
accord with Treasury methods.

PERFUMES FROM Flowers By pro-
cess known as enfeurage, which is the ex-
posture of beef fat to fresh flowers in close
boxes until it is thoroughly permeated and
charged with their odors, the perfumes of
six flowers are obtained, which could in
no other manner known to science be pre-
served apart from the fresh petals. Those
flowers are violet, jasmine, tuberose, rose-
orange flower and cassie cinnamon fower).
From those six there are fifty or more COM
binations made for the stimulation of the
odors of other flowers. Sweet pea is made
with jasmine and orange flower; hyacinth
is counterfeited by jasmine and tuberose;
lily of the valley by violet and tuberose.-
But the resources of the perfumer are by
no means confined to the pomades, as the
scented fats are termed. He uses many
essential oils, the principal Of which are
sandalwood; bergamot, lemon, rosemary,
neroli (made from bitter orange fowers),
patchouli and altar of roses. 1t is very
difficult to get the last named in pure
state, because its great cost tempts to dis
honest adulteration.
Very often rose geraniun oil is substi-
tuted for it. Musk is another important
ingredient entering, as it does, into almost
all perfumes, except those which are actu.
ally limitations of flower odors, or, as
styled by perfumers, natural as, for in
stance, heliotrope, tuberose, white rose and
violet.

EXTRAvAGANT WIVES AND MEAN HUS-
present social system is that relating to
the ''money question" between husba nds
and wives. Although with the nuptial
oath the husband does with all his worldly
goods the wife endow, too often the mem
DRY of the obligation dies with the word Of
promise OH the lips. When man takes
woman to be his wife he assumes the
broadcast obligation to provide for her COM
fort and support. A man of wealth is
bound to enable women to sustain her
self creditably In the circle in which they
move; the poor man to administer to the
comfort of his family as far as within his
means. The inconsiderate and reckless
waste of money by some women provided
with unstinted means, and the endeavor OF
others whose means are limited to pre-
tentious display to rival them are
equally to be condemned. There are
some men who do not realize, OR,
at any rate, seem to forget that
their wives have any rights in money mat
tiers which they are bound to respect. A
wife to this sort of husband is much the
same as servant. Does she require mo-
ney for family necessities. she must render
account for the expenditures of every cent.
If shopping is to be done, she must go to
him for money to purchase even spool of
thread or to pay car fare. This is humilia-
ting to sensitive woman, yet such in
stances come under observation every day.
