The Code Duello.

The earliest case of dueling in the
United States was that of Edward Doty
and Edward Lester, two serving-men
among the Puritans of New England.

having dispute they settled it gentle

were wounded. The Purituns assem-.
BLEED in convention and inflicted the fol.
lowing just punishment: Doty and
Lester were were ordered to bc tied to-
getiler, heads and feet, for twenty-four
hours without food or drink, bnt the
il. ercession Of their master, their own
humility and promises procured their
speedy release. This was the first duel
fought Ga this continent, and they were

Court Etiquette and Ambassa dors.

The etiquette as to the presidency
OF Ambassadors at court was happily
settled once and for all by the Con-
gress of Vienna, in 1915, which decided
that Ambassadors and Ministers were
to take rank by seniority acco: ding to
the dates of their appointments. by
courtesy, however, the representative
of the Pope is always allowed to hold
the first place in the diplomatic body
and to act as its spokesman. Before
1915 the wrangles between ENJOYS
about precedency We're incpssant, and
the servants of rival l, ga ons very
often came to blows and bio al-sllel!ing

Oddities Of Sel1isllness.

More amusing are the strange fancies
that some persons have as to what over.
worked men may be asked to do for
them. In the very thick Of the Ameri-
can war, there came to President Lin
coin an Illinois farmer in great state
of excitement about pair of horses
that one of Line .ln's Generals had re-
Questioned for the var.
The owner was of course entitled to
compensation, but somehow it had not
come. Going to the President he tod
him his story, and was rather chagrined
to he told that it did not lie with him
to pay the money. Then, says the
farmer, will you undertake to write to
the General and see that the matter is
settled properly? Poor Lincoln, who
never wanted story to help him in an
emergency, was ready for his visitor.
"When was rail-splitter, e said.
"there lived near us a smart young fell
low, the Captain of a Mississippi boat,
who could steer vessel over the rapids
with wonderful skill, as hardly any one
else could. One day, when he was
Rrasping the wheel with his utmost
strength, at the most critical point of
the rapids, little boy came running
I'M to him in great excitement and said,
'Cap'n, stop your ship, my apple has
fallen overboard!"
In the "Life of Sir James Simpson"
there are some curious notices OF the
extraordinary things that patents in
the country would sometimes ask him
to do. Once a gentleman wrote to him
king him to send copy Of the pre-.
scription which he had given him some
years before, when the doctor could
hardly recall the man, much less the
prescription. Others would ask him 20
90 to Duncan 4 F4ockhart's and get
them some particular medicine.
A very busy clergyman of our ac-
quaintance, when over head and ears
with many things, once got letter
from a stranger in the United States,
explaining that more than century
ago, some one of the name of c.
owned proper uelr Edinburgh
which was bel:e,ed to have been DIES.
tined by will in a pa. t.calar way, SO
that the relatives in America thought
they had some claim to it. He was 10
quested to inquire into the matter, find
out about the will, communicate Will,
the present owners of the property, and
put everything in train for just settlc-
ment of the claim. It would have been
reasonable for the writer to inclose !,
bill for $500, but that, unfortunately,
lie omitted to do.-MacMillnn's Maya.

An Elephants Reasoning Powers,

An elephant belonging to an engineer
officer had disease in his eyes, and la
for three days been completely blind.
His owner asked DR.. Webb, a pl,ysi-
clan. if he could do anything for the re-
lief of the animal. DR.. Webb replied
that he was willing to try on one Of the
eyes the effect Of nitrate Of silver,
which was the remedy commonly used
lor similar d.ss Asses OF the human eye.
The animal VAS accordingly made to
lie down, and when the nitrate OF silver
was applied uttered terrific roar at
acute pain which It occasioned. But the
effect was wonderful, for the eye was in
a great degree restored, and the ele-
pnant could partially see. The doctor
was III consequence ready to operate
similarly on the other eye on the fol
lowing day, and the animal, when he
was brought out and heard the docto"'s
voice, lay down Of himself, placed his
mead quietly on one side, curlad up his
trunk, drew in his breath, Ike hum n
ne1hg about to endure painful opera
taon, gave sigh of relief when it
was over, and then by motions OF his
trunk anu other gestures gave evident
slshs OF wishing to express his graft
tuoe. Here we plainly see in the e,e-
phant memory. understanding. and real
sonlng from one thing to another. he
animal remembered the benefit that he
had felt from the appl cation t, one
eye, and when he was brought to the
same place on TIE following day and
neafd the Operators yo &c he conclrd q
That like service was to be done to his
other eve.

ucImonr County Reppblicans.

The Republicans Of Belmont county have
gone into this campaign to win. They be-
gau by sending representative men to the
convention, men whose only desire was for
the success OF the party, men who had no
preferences that could stand in the way Of
The great end in view. It was conven'
ton almost phenomenal in its good sense,
harmony and earnestuess Of purpose. r.
The county seat question, which has
worked harm to the Republican cause in
Belmont, was promptly laid at rest for two
year,, and by unanimous consent. The
delegates, apprsciating that this trouble
some question had proven an element oil
weakness, and knowing the desire Of the
party 10 be relieved OF the embarrassment,
wisely ignored all sectional feeling and
acted solely for the party good.
There were no personal ambitions to be
satisfied at the cost Of harmony and the
success Of The ticket. Mr.. Hilles was nom.
mated for Representative against his ex'
pressed wish, and because it was felt that
his name would be a tower Of strength.
The whole ticket is made up Of good men,
each Of whom will put bis shoulder to the
wheel. 1t happened very fortunately that
the convention could look well to the
geography Of the ticket while it was choos'
- ,.,.,.oJ ,u1 utroyO mon
Its ticket 10 win, and the good feeling
which greeted It starts 1t well on the road
to success. The Republicans Of Belmont
can sweep the county this time, and they
begin as though they mea to do it. They
will help the State ticket and the State
ticket will help them.
