A Duel to the Death.

A fatal encounter occurred early Tues
day morning near Louden City, ILL.,, be.
tween Louis Philips and Jacob kosen-
brook, both residents of Bowling Green
township, in which the latter was killed
instantly, and the former wounded so
badly that he died few hours after.
The affair had its origin in grudge OF
long standing, growing out Of disre-
spectful remarks oy Philips concerning
Rosenbrock's sister Each time they
met they quarreled, and Monday morn
ing they decided to settle the matter in
a duel with pistols, TO be fought at six
o'clock Tuesday morning at the place
mentioned. They chose as their sec
onds Mack Swauk and Jack Wren, who
were present and witnessed the shoot
ing. Rosenbrook fired the first shot,
the ball entering Philips mouth. Phil
Ups staggered, and before falling dis
charged his weapon, the ball taking eff
feet at one side of Rosonbrook's mouth,
and ranging upward through the head.
Both durlliSts were young men, Philips
being about % years of age, and 4
school teacher. Neither of the secon is
has yet been arrested.

a DAISY TAME.

There appears to be almost no end to
the novelties being perfected for the ORR
ole festivities in Baltimore in September.
1t will truly be termed, Summer Nights
Carnival, and certainly nsthing like it
WAS ever before attempted i'll any city of
the continent. There will be electricity
In all its forms, are lights and incandes-
cent lights, focus lights and flambeaux,
torches in various colors, Greek fire, cal
ciunI and gas, until night will be turned
into day. The pyrotcchnie features will
be on scale of great extent and variety,
some Of the set pieces promising to be
marvellous in effect. The whole city will
be lighted as mover before. The different
monuments with which the metropolis
s5ounds will he girded by electrical bands,
while the lofty and majestic dome of the
City Hall will be fairly ablazc. Every
avenue leading to novelty in illumination
is eagerly sought after, and old Baltimore
will indeed show herself this year. The
night display in the harbor will be a
gorgeous sight; and the arrival of Lord
Baltimore something to remember for
years. The Mystic Pageant on the third
night will beyond ali comparison excel
anything of the description ever attempt
ed not alone in this country but in any
country. Other cities arc content with
from eighteen to twenty-five floats, the
latter number being the greatest ever en-
braced within one pageant in any city.
Baltimore almost doubles this, as her pag-
cant on tho night Of the 18th Of Septem-
Der will include no less than forty floats
or tablcaux cars, larger, more imposing
and grandcr in every way, than ever be-
fore shown. Ordinarily the number Of
characters introduced iD pageant is less
than one hundred. In the Baltimore psg-
cant there will be two hundred and thirty
characters upon the floats, every costume
entirely new and imported from Paris di-
rect. 1t will require thirteen hundred
men, two hundred and forty horses, over
fifteen thousand gas jets, eight bands of
music, and other accessories III like mag
niiicent proportion. The actual cash out
lay necessary TO place the pageant upon
the streets of Baltimore will exceed thir-
ty-five thousand dollars. The characters
are assumed by members of the Order of
the OriOlc, merchants and business men
of the highest standing. The special Sc
ries OF excursions arranged by the Balti-
more and Ohio are meeting with undis-
guised favor, as they admit of visiting so
many places OF great interests in addition
TO the Oriole at Baltimore. AS all the
festivities in the Monumental City arc
ut night, the days can be put in visiting
Washington, Old Point Comfort, Fortress
Monroe, Luray Caves, Harper's Ferry,
and very many other points. The rate is
down To the very lowest notch, half-fare
from all stations on the enormous system
embraced within the 3. d q. management.

a Queer Bridal Esresent.

A few days ago strange scene oc-
CURED at Holy Trinity Church, in New
Orleans, during the marriage of Louis
llartenstein. -Four months ago a young
girl named Hattie Scott, seduced by
Hartenstcin, had given birth to baby.
Learning that her betrayer was to be
married to another girl, she called on
the bride that was to be and narrated
her story, and also told it to the priest,
endeavoring TO persuade him not to
perform the ceremony. She failed to
get any satisfaction, and her grievance
becoming known, a disorderly crowd
gathered at the church at the time fixed
for the ceremony in expectation Of a
scene. They were not disappointed,
for Hattie Scott, appearing with her in
FAINT in her arms, was pushed up the
aisle by the crowd, and when Harten-
stein was putting the ring on his brides
finger, the unconscious infant was laid
upon the bridal veil as a wedding pres
ent. The priest, learning that the crowd
were determined to stone the bride and
groom. managed to get them out of the
church by rear door, and Hattie had
to carry her baby home again. Subsc.
quently the police officials hearing of
the row, Hattie Scott was arrested for
causing disturbance of the peace. u
large crowd gathered at the hearing OF
the case, and Judge Ford examined the
witnesses brought forward to sustain
the charge. He said that he would be
compelled to discharge the poor girl.
Previous to going TO church she had
exhausted every means within her linn
tied knowledge to redress her wrongs.
She had gone to the residence of the
girl whom Hartenstein was to marry,
and to the priest. Instead of receiving
any satisfaction, she was warned not to
create q disturbance, and almost driven
out. When populace make demon
stration on behalf of a person, it is al
most sure that they are on the ri ght
side. When the crowd pushed the girl
forward it was because they all felt that
she had been dealt with wrongly. His
remarks were received with approval
by the crowd, and amid which Hattie,
baby, Mrs. Hartenstein and her angry
husband disappeared.

At lightning Speed.

On Friday last Prof II. II. Hover,
of Helena, with his wife and five chill
dren, lett Helena, Mon, where they re-
side, on a construction train othG Mul-
len tunnel, on the Northern Pacifc
Road, for the purpose OF going over d
temporary track across the main range
of the Rocky Mountains. This track
is very steep and crooked, and, as it
crosses at an elevation of 1000 feet,
commands a splendid view of the sur
rounding mountains. No accident &C
Cured on crossing to the west eide, but
while coming back the party had an ex-
perience which they will remember till
their dying day. About half way up
the mountain the cab0ose containing tho
party was left standing on the track,
when all alarm was raised that runa-
way train was coming down upon them.
Professor Hover on the instant loosen
cd the brake, and tho car started down
the mountain, pursued by the runaway
train Of a locomotive and eight cars
loaded with rails. Soon the Car was
going at the rate of a mile a minute.
The ladies were screaming with fright,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that they were kept from leaping from
the car, which would have been certain
death. The caboose shot down the
mountain, around sharp curves and
along the cliffs above deep gorges,
while the runaway train came thunder
ing along behind with increasing speed.
The engineer remained at his post
clutching the lever; but reversing his
engine was of no avail in checking its
wild course, and only increased the dan
ger of its flying the track. Soon the
caboose was overtaken, but as it was
going almost az fast as the train, there
were no serious consequences, and all
rushed down the mountain together.
Caboose, locomotive and iron cars all
kept the track, and, although the speed
attained was terrific, all reached the
valley below in safety.

SELECTING A HoRsE.-The '"Turf, Field

authority on the subject, says that Gin
buying horse, first look at his head and
eyes for signs of intelligence, temper,
courage and honesty. Unless L horse has
brains you cannot teach him to de any
thing well. Ii bad qualities predominant
in a horse, education only serves to en-
large and intensity them. The head is
the indicator of disposition. a square
muzzlc, it'll large nostrils, evidences an
ample breathing apparatus and lung
power Next, see that he is we'll under
the jowl, with jaw-bones broad and wide
spart under the throttle. Breadth and
(ullness between the ears and eyes are
always desirable. The eyes should be full
and hazel i'm color, ears small and thin
and thrown we'll forward. The horse
that turns his ears back every now and
then 10 not to be trusted. He is either
bitter or kicker, and is sure to be vicious
in other respects, and, being naturally
vicious, IAN never be trained TO do any
thing well, and SO q horse with rounding
nose, tapering forehead, and broad, full
face below the eyes, is always trcacherous
and not TO be depended on. Avoid tho
long-legged, stilted animal, always choos-
ing one with short, straight back and
rump, withers high and shoulders sloping,
we'll set back, and with good depth Of
chest, fore legs short, hind legs straight,
with low down hook, short pastern joints,
and y round, mulish shaped foot"

\ woman named Messick, who kept
house for her brother, living near Marsh
Hope, Kent county, Del, has been i'll
for some time past. On Wednesday
last neighbor, followed by a dog, came
to visit the sick woman, and the dog
accompanied the visitor into the sick
room. There, before any one could in
rerterc, the strange animal and dog
belonging to the house engaged in a
savage fight, and finally, to the horror
of ali present and the terror of the in,
valid, the brutes leaped upon her bed
and continued the fight, in spite of all
efforts to part them. The whole affair
was too much for the sick woman's
overstraned nerves, aud, with the sound
of the savage creatures growlings in
her ears and their writhing bodies still
upon her bed, she shrieked, fixed her
eyes in a deathly stare, and turned over
dead.
