A REMARKABLE DUEL.-One of the
most remarkable duels on record was
recently fought in the suburbs of East
st. Louis, ILL.,, and, though it did not
result fatally, it was by no means blood
less. Two negroes, Bill Molack and
Nike Vanderberg, were out rabbit
hunting, and met with poor success.
They stopped in a saloon in the edge
of the town, where they met several
of their friends, who twitted them
about having no game, and got up an
argument as to which of the two hum
tiers was the better marksman. The
argument became a hot and angry
one, and it was decided that the only
way to settle it was to shoot, and each
man was to be the others target.
They repaired to field, and, taking
position back to back. started at a
given signal from the third negro, the
agreement being to walk twenty steps,
wheel and FIRE. Vanderberg walked
faster than Molack, and, turning first,
fred just as Molack turned. Molack
dropped his gun and staggered. See
ing this. Vanderberg ran, but MoIack
braced up, seized his gun. and gave
chase, shouting, Il must have my
shot" Seeing he was about to be
overtaken, Vanderberg turned. and as
he did so Molack fired, and then sunk
exhausted in the snow. Vanderberg
also tell. Both negroes were bleed
ing profnsely. and the field where
they fell looked like a slaughter-kouse.
Friends cared for them. Both had
their faces and a ms filed with shot,
and each lost an eye.

the northern men who went down to
Gen. McDowells headquarters short

Newcastle. He had been one of the
On to Richmond crowd, says Mr..
Marshall, who had come down to
stiffen up the Presidents spine, and
was loud In advocating a vigorous
prosecution Of the war. He was a
large man, and wore a long linen dns-
ter. When the rush to the rear be-
gan, he ran with the rest. He was
fat. and, as the crowd gradually swept
past him, he at last began to think
the rebels must be almost within grasp
of his flying duster tails. Blind with
perspiration and dust, he tripped on
a log and fell fat on his stomach, or
as fat as he could fall on such round
stomach. A Zouave who was hard at
his heels came down with emphasis on
top. Mr.. McGuffin was certain that
the Philistines were upon him. and,
with q weak endeaVor to roll bis eyes
round that he might see his foeman' s

ion that II would be an excellent substi-
tute for benedictine and other cordials
used after dinner in the leading cities Of
the world. 1t has the same strength as
those liqueurs, and more important still,
has the advantage of being pure. This
idea might be carried out with
profit to producer and consumer. This
wine is easily made. and on account of
its great strength seems better to be used
in small quantities only, after the man
ner Of bencdictine, than as an ordinary
beverage. The idea is an excellent one,
and would crown our feasts with pure
homemade products equal or superior
to anything imported.
From Mr.. B. Dreyfus, the extensive
wine maker of Anaheim, we learn that
the zinfandel wine that he is producing
is so very fine that his entire stock of
that vintage has been sold in San Fran
cisco where it is pronounced Of superior
quality. Mr.. Dreyfus finds brisk mar.
ket for all his wines and is shipping daily
to eastern and northern markets. He is
indignant at the statement of morning
contemporary that wine is drug in the
market and that the business Of wine
making is overdone. As he is one of the
largest makers OF wine in the United
States his opinion is entitled to great re-.
gard The light sour wines of Anaheim
are not promoters of intemperance but
rather of temperance and good appe-
tite. Intemperance springs from other
sources than from light wines.
