The Knox-Shealaam Duel.


NEW YORK, July 6-It is reported this morning
that the duel alleged to have been fought, be-
tween John Armory Knox, OF the Texas Strings
and which 1t was said resulted In the wounding OF
Mr.. Knox, is hoax, ami that the principals
never left the city. Many are OF the opinion that
the whole thing IS a practical joke originated by
Knox In his own interest," and It is certain that he
had no intention OF lighting. Neither OF the men
have shown themselves since the first repo! ted
breach between them, and nothing def1nite Is
known 1n regard to their movements

LINES TO THE MEMORY OF MRS. MAMIE c..
BRAGONIER.
Let me 60, for am weary
Of the chain that binds me here;
Let my spirit bend its pinions
To brighter, holier sphere.
Earth, tits true, has friends that love me
With their fond and faithful love,
But the hands of angels beckon
To brighter world above.
Let me 60, for earth has sorrows,
Sin and pain and bitter tears.
All its paths are dark and dreary-
All its hopes are fraught with fears.
Short-lived are its brightest flowers,
Soon its cherished hopes decay;
Let me 60; fam would leave it
For the realms of endless day.
Let me 90; my heart has tasted
OF my Saviour's woLdrons grace;
Let me go where | shall ever
See and know Him face to face.
Let me 90; the trees Of Heaven
Rise before me, waving bright,
And the distant crystal waters
Flash upon my failing sight.
Let me go, for songs seraphic
Now seem calling from the sky;
IT'S The welcome of the angels,
Which cen now are lowering nigh.
Fair, distant land. Could now your eyes
But half its charms explore,
Then would your spirit long to rise
And dwell on earth no more.
By true friend, j. NJ. Ii.
