Frederick \. Of Prussia


was killed by an accident Of fear. He
was one day sleeping in an armchair,
when his wife, Louisa of Mecklenburg,
who had for some time been hopelessly
insane, escaped from her keepers and
made her way to the Kings private
apartments. Breaking through q glass
door, she dabbled be rself in blood, and,
in a raging tit of delirium, cast herself
upon the King. The latter, who was
not aware of the hopelessness Of her
lunaey, was so horriied at the appear

when death was around the house of
Brandenburg. He vas seized with a
fever and died in six weeks.

The Most Remarkable Death

from the accident of fright was that of
the Dutch painter, Penteman, in the
seventeenth century. He was ut work
on a picture in which were represented
several death heads, grinning skeletons,
and other objects calculated inspire the
behOlder. with a contempt for the vani-
ties and fOllies Of the day In order to
do his work better he went to an auato-
mical room, and used it for a studio.
One sultry day, as he was surrounded
he fell off into q quiet sleep, from which
he was suddenly aroused. Imagine his
horror at beholding the skulls and
bones dancing around him like mad,
and the skeletons which hung from the
ceiling dashing themselves together.
Panic-stricken, he rushed from the
room and threw himself headlong from
a window onto the pavement below.
He sufficiently recovered to learn that
the cause of his fear was a slight earth
quake, bnt his system had re-
ceived so severe a shock that he died In
a few DAYS

DEATHS FROM FRIGHT.
Curious Cases Whsrs a Nervous
Shock was Fatal.
How Superstition Has Preyed on the Minds
of People in Days Gone BY.

The distinction between fright and
fear ought always to be borne in mind.
Fear can be mastered by an effort; fright
has come and gone before the brain has
had time to come to the conclusion that
an effort is possible. There is no fear
so strong in human beings as the fear
of death, and yet, "there is no passion
in the mind of man." says Bacon truly
enough, $50 weak but it mates and mas
tiers the fear Of death. Revenge tri-
umphs over death; love sights it hon
or aspireth to it; grief tlieth to it; fear
~preOccIpateth it," Pity, which is the
''tenderest of passions" led many to
kill themselves from compassion for
OthO's suicide. Even iridium ritT,
mere utter WEAKNESS Of doing the same
man to defy his Unborn fear Of death.
But what passion can guard against
fright!

rent in the dark, and visiting the place

fear, obviously, because there was moth
ing TO be afraid of, but possibly Of fright.

twenty-five years of active pastoral work, there and
in Boston, accepted the presidency of theological
seminary near Cincinnati, where he remained
twenty years. When he resigned his Office in 1862.
he had been in the ministry 6fty-four years and
was IN his seventy-eighth year. After his return to
Boston he devoted his energies to revision OF his
published sermons, and occasionally entered the
pulpit, where, for few years at least. he was able
to preach with od-time energy and fire. He lived to
the advanced age of eighty his memory fail
Ing long before his physical powers were materially
impaired. Mr.. Beechers friends have reason, there

from the pastor of Plymouth Church.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY JUNE 90 1888

had been accepted in behalf Of Mr.. Elam, but
when the seconds assembled on Friday TO make
the final arrangements, Mr.. Elam's seconds
produced two small fve-shOoters as the weap-
ons. Mr.. Bierne's seconds objected to these as
amere children's pistols" and offered pair oil
regular dueliing derringers, which were declined.
1t will. be perceived that Mr.. Bierne was de-
termined to have no halfway work this tine.
His Saor' had been questioned once, but IL
should not be again. The wrangle over weap-
ons consumed so much time that the police had
time to find the party, and just as they were
proceeding TO the woods for the fight, Mr. Blerne
was arrested. Mr.. Elan concealed himself ana
was not taken. Thus ended the second day.
Public interest in the affair had now become
intense. Full accounts of all the proceedings
were published in the newspapers, with glow
ing eulogies upon the indomitable courage oil
the two Editors, and thrilling predictions OF the
gore which would flow if they were permitted
to get at each other. On Saturday Mr.. Bierne
got away from custody and disappeared to
parts unknown. Mr.. Elan was discovered In
hiding at a farm house. but before he could be
arrested he slipped out of the back door and
fed. The seconds, in the meantime, were n.y.
ing about like decapitated hens. They had
no idea where their principals were. and COW
cred wide sections of country in vain search
for them. The Richmond Dispatch of Sunday
published an agitated account of the perplexing
business, In which it says: ut is understood
that meeting of the seconds was held in
hotel in this city yesterday. 1t is believed
that arrangements were again made for
fight, or will be as soon as the means of COM
municating between principals and seconds is
secured. But the greatest difficulty will be
to get the principals together again." All
through Sunday the suspense was continued,
and we are told that the public desire to hear
from them was "intense." A few sceptcal
persons began to doubt if there would be any
duel after all, but this seems to US to be an I'M
charitable view. Both men are said by the
Richmond journals to be expert pistol Shots"
both have flashing eyes," both are noted for
a." courage and coolness," both are writers of
" force and ability" and both are "quick and
active in their movements" When two such
warriors get together with "six- shooter navy Ie-
volvers" there is likely 10 be some blood
spilled. But the chances are much against
their meeting. They are far from each other,
and still further from the seconds, and the
revolvers are with the seconds and the
police are everywhere. 1t is very disappointing
to the public. Maybe it is to the principals
also but at this distance it looks if they took
uncommon pains to let the police know what
they were up to.

THE LATEST SOUTHERN DUEL.

A tremendous affair" has been in progress
in various parts of the State of Virginia for
the past few days. Two Richmond editors
have been endeavoring since Thursday last to
get q shot ut each other, but owing to the vigil
lance of the police and the inability of the sec-
Onds to keep up with the principals they have
thus far been disappointed. The trouble began
In a newspaper controversy of the good old
fashioned kind. The Editor of The State re-
marked that the Editor of The Wing belonged
in politics to vicious corrupt and degraded
gang" who were trying to make capital out of
the "nigger" question. The Editor of The
Wing retorted in a tone of lofty contempt that
this was deliberate, knowing and malicious
lie," and attempted to disparage his rivals
courage by calling him Bombastes FuriOso
who had once pretended to fight duel by go
ing upon the field with pistols without caps,
adding that he himself had once gone out with
caps and had been shot in the face. As soon as
Mr.. Bierne, the Editor of The State read this
irritating alusion to his valor, he communica-
ted with MIR. Elan, the Editor of The Wing,
and demanded satisfaction. Mr.. Elan had left
town to prepare for the fray without police in
reference and the challenge was forwarded to
him.
A hostile meeting was arranged, but could
not come of at once as one Of the seconds was
behind time. Both fcrocious Editors were con-
cealcd in farm-hOuses about two miles from
Richmond, and were compelled to restrain
their fury till Friday. At preliminary council
of the seconds 1t had been proposed in behalf
of Mr. Blerne that the weapons should he six-
shooter navy revolvcrs, and the distance eight
PAGES that after the first firing the challenger
was TO say whether he was satisfied if he said
no, both men should be at liberty to advance
toward each other and continue firing until sll
the chan bers were emptied. These conditions

do not differ. Mr.. Tilden is probably out OF the
question as a candidate and knows it. But ne is
not ont of active politics. and will not be till he
dies. 1t is his highest remaining ambition to be,
not President, but President-maker. 1t was
the Tilden wing of the party. not simply In
Ohio, but assisted by we'll kno WI Tilden leaders
in other States, notably from Kentucky, that
made Judge Hoadly the candidate. Their de-
signs by no means stop there. The Presidential
campaign is in progress. A desperate effort
will be made to carry Ohio, then to control the
National Convention, and finally to carry the
country. This is the meaning of the Ohio bust
ness, and this is the far-reaching purpose of
Mr.. Tilden. We are confident that it will mis-
carry at the next step in October.
