TWENTY. ONE DUELS IN ONE DAY.
The University of Jena, in Austria, and,
indeed, the whole city have PASSED
through week of intense alarm and
anxiety, which are lar from being at an
end even now. On one day twenty one
serious duels took place among the stu
dents, and, the arms used not having
been properly cleaned, all those who
were wounded had their blood poisoned.
About forty young men are lying in the
hospital in a serious condition. One
great favorite, the only son of wealthy
parents, had his mind upset by an in
teuse attack of fever, and committed
suicide by taking strychnine. He died
after terrible agony that lasted many
hours. Two more have died already,
and there is little hope of saving more
than one half OF those who are still in
q pitiable condition. This dreadful ca-
Iamity will no doubt serve to make uni
versity dueling very unpopular in Ger
many. if not with the young men them
selves, certainly with their relations.

DEATHS FROM EATING RAW HAM
Many persons are not aware of the dam
ger Of eating raw bacon. 1t is some
times filled with trichine, and when
eaten proves almost certainly fatal. Re-
Gently, in Union county, Indiana, the
wife and two children of Mr.. Joseph
Penticost, thus lost their lives. II
trimming a ham, Mrs. Penticost gave
some pieces to her children TO eat and
also ate some herself, and the sad result
was that all died within the space OF
ten days. We learn the above facts
from the Shenandoah Valley tnas re-
ceived its information from letter by
Abraham Rife Of Indiana to John 2.
Zirkle residing near New Market.

His Good Name Comes Back to Him.

Jacob Aeschback keeps a small store
at 81 Washington street, Hoboken, and
repairs watches and jewelry, A few
days since two sharpers stole, from his
store, valuable gold watch belonging
to John r. Ryszczyuski, and he felt
keenly the fact that people suspected
him to be the thief. For two days and
nights his wife cried over the misfortune
He heard that two men had been arrested
in Newark, while trying to rob traveller
and he went there, accompanied by the
Chief of Police of Hoboken and Mr.,
Ryszczyuski. He at once identified the
prisoners as the men who stole the watch.
When he saw them in the First Precinct
Police Station his eyes filled with tears,
and, in an excited and dramatic man
ner, told how each acted in his store.
One of them, he said, left with him the
inside frame of chain locket, that no
might fit a glass into 1t.
"Here is the Frame he added, draw.

the locket, but saw in it something red,
and / should know it If | saw it again"
A locket which had been taken from
one Of the prisoners, Charles Howard,
was shown to Aeschbach. Immediately
he laughed and cried by turns, and, at
the same time exclaimed; .Aa - -.

AN ANGEHEO GOD.
A Gallery Deity Throws Nails al Actors
Who Disp ,ased Him.

A boy named William Bernard, age
fifteen years, was arrested ut the Lon
don Theatcr for throwing tonpenny
nails at the actors from the. upper gal
lery. When taken to the Eldridgc
Street Police Station he WIS found TO
have his pockets well filled with the of
fensivc missiles, Tuesday Young Bern
ard was arraencd before Justice Gard
ncr at Essex Market and lined $40. Be-
ing unable to pay the fine he was re-
manded to prison.
The manager Of the theatre said it
was not an unusual thing for malicious
boys in the galleries to pelt both actors
and audience with missiles, and now he
was going to put Il stop TO it. Some
times the boys had grudge against an
actor, but generally it was done out of
sheer deviltry.
Il know what it is TO receive Il shower
of those things on ones head, y said the
manager "Once they threw beans ut
my head by the handful. After the
curtain had gone down. picked up n
whole pockctful of them. Sometimes
they have those tin tubes and shoot the
beans through them. have even seen
them throw potatoes and carrots at the
actors and audience.
How long is it since the gallery gods
commenced this pcrscCution?'
"Since the Count Joanncs made his
ridiculous efforts at Shakspcrcan TRACE
DIV few years ago. 4 good many OF
the boys were anxious TO receive him at
