ST. NICHOLAS, FOR JANU 4RY,
Contains several notable features,
preeminent among which is the brief
biographical sketch of Elizabeth
Thompson Butler, written by her
sister, which is accompanied by six
illustrations from drawings made by
the celebrated artist herself. Ano-
ther very Interesting article is that
entitled "a, Chinese New Years Day
in Santa Barbara" Then there is
the prize Tiger Composition, which
was written by Hollis c. Clark, fif-
teen years old. There is, besides,
the report of the Committee on
Compositions, with a long Roll of
Honor. Some further adventures by
"Tinkey," in story entitled "Fairy
Wishes, Nowadays" with character
istic illustrations, is sure so be well
coined. fThe Field of the Cloth of
Gold" has five illustrations. "Silk
Culsure for Bo,s and Girls" is an
article which inaugurates new de
partment, to be known as "Work
and Play for Young People" This
sketch gives full instruction for be-
ginning this interesting and profta
bic occupation for enterprising Am
ericans. In addition, is the usual
amount of short stories, and verses,
bright pictures and departments.

AN HONEST NAN.

An easy going, honest minded old
country merchant in Iowa had been
in trade for a dozen years when he
took in his son as a partner. The
boy had lived in Chicago for three
or four years and was up to snuff.
One day after the partnership had
lasted about sir months, the old man
came down in the morning and
found the doors of the store closed
and a sign mp to the effect that the
firm had failed. He walked over to
his sons house and asked:
James, did you lock the store ?"
al did"
"What is the matter2"
Why, we have failed and can
only pay fifteen cents on the dollar"
James" continued the old man
as he pulled down his hat, I'm
going down and open the door with
q crow-bar and resume business at
100 cents on the dollSrl For thir-
teen long years / have given fifteen
ounces to the pound and measured
both fneors with every yard of
cloth, and the idea of taking any
further advantage Of the Lord goes
agin my conscience. Just consider
that we have resumed and come
along and scrapo out them sugar
barrels"

A curious relic of Andrew Jack
son has been Obligingly sent TO US
by a friend. 1t is related in Par
tons Life of Jackson that when Old
Hickory was Young Hickory, just
twenty-one years OF age, he fought
the first duel Of his life with
Colonel Waightstill Avery, n dis
tinguished member of the bar of
North Carolina Young Jackson
had a criminal case before the court
nc Jonesbero, in which he was deeply
interested, Colonel Avery being
eounse, on the other side. In the
course of the trial Avery was severe
in his comments upon some Of the
legal positions taken by the younger
lawyer, and used language which he
afterwards admitted was too per-
sonal and sarcastic.
On the second morning of the
trial, Jackson, acutely mortified by
the repetition of the offence, tore
blank leaf from q law-book, wrote n
challenge upon il, and gave it to his
antagonist with his own hands. This
challenge, now before us, yellow
with its ninety-four years, is the
relic TO which we allude. We copy
from the original:
AUGUST IL. 17SS-

The duel was not fought before
dinner, as the impetuous young ad-
vocate desired, since Colonel Avery

friend" 1t occurred just after sun
set. Fortunately. neither of the
combatants was hit, and they left
the ground very good friends. This
curious challenge is now the prop

the Ledger. We print it just as it
is written, following literally "Old
Hickory's" own spelling and pune

TRYING TO GIVE $50, 900 4 WAY.

TRYING TO GIVE 500, 600 A VA y.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says that
the Georgia Legislature has just de-
clined gift of $50, 900 rendered the
State University at Athens by Senator
Joe Brown, of Georgia. The Legisla-
ture declared that the conditions of the
gift would crea G "a Brown arlstocracy"
in Georgia. These conditions ma ie the
gift fund for the education of poor
young men. They provided that young
men might be nominated TO be benefici-
aries of the fund by the sons of Sena-
tor Brown, who were also to have a
share in the control. Each of the bene.
ficIaries was to give his note for fixed
sum, to be repaid when he was estab-
lished in business Senator Brown was
asked if he proposed to renew his
offer in any other shape. He said he
did not. He has been requested by
many leading men of Georgia to make
no other disposition of the proposed
gift until after the meeting Of the Leg
islature in July. 1t is thought that the
Legislature at that time will be IL frame
OF mind TO accept the donation Sena-
tor Brown says that he shall not make
the offer again. The same men VIII are
tn the Legislature now will be in i. in
July, and chances of acc ptance If the
gift will not be improved. Senator
Brown said I: II shall do nothing about
the matter for a month or two, but
shall certainly make the gift to the col
lege of some State on the same con-
ditions tha | offered it to Georgia. L
shall first offer it to college in South
Carolina, my naive State. / think my
native State will treat me better in this
matter than my adopted State. If South
Carolina doesn'c want my donation, /
will give it to college of some other
State. think can find some State
that will accept it,"

The marvellous power of steam,
so terrible in its destructive force
when beyond the control of mechan-
ical appliances, was fearfully and
fatally illustrated at the Globe roll
ing mill, Cincinnati, Ohio, one day
last week. One of the two large
boilers exploded with terrific force,
and with a mass of flying boards,
bricks and debris more than a doz-
en- men were hurled from their
posts. The great iron cylinders,
over four tons in weight, shot out
through the frame work Of the
wooden building like a missile from
a monster cannon, and describing a
semi-circle in the air four hundred
feet at least, fell with crash into
the the river, touching the bank
only as it landed, and crushing in
the side of a coal float, where sever
al men had been at work q few min
ntes tefore. OF the employees, one
man only was killed, but a number
were wounded.
