How a Noted Duelist Died.

/ The Comte de Larilliere, one of the
well-born among the bretteurs, met
one day in the street business man
named Castera, walking with his young
and pretty wife. He advanced to him
and said, with a polite bow: 81 beg
your pardon, but I have made bet
with my friend here, whom beg to in
troduce to you, that would kiss your
wife while she was walking with you"-
here the other man turned hvid- "af-
ter having given you slapin the face"
Castera fought him next day with pis-
tells. The counts first shot hit Castera
on the right ear, the second on the left
Before the third he said, "Cette fois ie
feral mouche," and with the third he
shot Castera through the eye. Castera
was avenged in a manner dramatic
enough. One night, as Larilliere sat in
his favorite seat in cafe, while mask
ed ball was going on hard by, stran-
ger in a domino and mask came up to
him, overturning his glass of punch, and
ordered glass of orgeat instead. Lar
illiere, for the first time in his life, turn
ed pale, and cried: "You scoundrel,
You don't know who I am" 40 yes"
the stranger replied, az know who you
are quite WELL" and with the words
forced him down into the chair from
which he had risen. The orgeat was
brought, and the stranger, holding a
pistol to Larilliere's head, said: "Un-
less you drink this off 1 shall blow out
your brains on the spot; and if you do
drink it off 1 will do you the honor of
fighting you tomorrow" with the
saber," cried Larilliere, who had lately
been practicing with that arm. "How
You like" said the stranger. Then as
Larilliere drank off the orgeat, he add
ed; Il have humbled you enough to-
night. I put off killing you till to-mor-
row." The morrow came, the adver-
saries met, and Larilliere found that he
had met his match. The stranger left
him not moments breathing space,
but never followed up his attacks, until
at last Larilliere cried insolently:
when are you going to kill me?"
"Now," said the stranger, for the first
time using his saber like duelling
sword, and lunging through Larilliere's
heart. Masses were said in the churches
of Bordeaux for the man who kept his
name secret and who had rid the town
of its scourge.-Lo11do1l Saturday Re

An AhoriminaI Hrarerard.

It was found upon reaching the depth
of three or four feet that the locality
was an Indian graveyard, and several
skeletons of aborigines were found.
These were covered with only few
feet Of earth, and from the position in
which they were found and from their
surroundings much information was
obtained in regard to the manner in
which the Indians of Napa valley bur-
led their dead. As general thing the
bodies were doubled up, the chin rest
ing on the knees and the hands clasped
about them. Then the bodies were
bound with bark, pieces of which were
found on the skeletons in fair state of
preservation. Bright-hued stones, beads
and other trinkets were also found.
The bodies were buried, not in a sitting
position, but upon their sides. Con-
tinuing the excavations there were
found at the depth of six feet indica-
tions that the Indians practiced crema-
ton, as the ashes of human bones were
discovered and also large numbers of
beads united by the action Of fire

Hints TO Help the Memory.

He who wishes to have q clear and
distinct remembrance should be tenn
perate with respect to eating, drinking
and sleeping. The memory depends
very much on the state OF the brain.
and, therefore, whatever is hurtful to
the latter must be preiudicial to the
former. Too much sleep congests the
brain, and too little depletes it: there
fore either Of these extremes must, of
course, hurt the memory, and ought
carefully to be avoided. Many readers
note In the margin of their books the
mOst-important passages, the strongest
arguments or the brightest sentiments.
Thus they load their minds with super
tluous attention, repress the veGcmence
OF curiosity by useless deiberation.
and, by frequent interruption. break
the current of revelation Or the chain
Of reason, and at last close the volume,
and forget the passages and the thought.
The act of writing, itself. in such n
case, abstracts the thoughts, and what
IS read twice is commonly better re-
membered than what IS transcribed.
The mind is seldom fit for close at

the blood and forces from their proper
employment in digestion, and stomach
arrangement is apt to ensue, to the dis
turbance of the brain and the derange-
ment of the health. Both the mind
and body should be easy and undis-
tUrbed when We engage in committing
things to memory, and, therefore, quiet
and retirement are most fit for it

Seward was fully as much interested

manifested it in totally different way.
His shaggy eyebrows fell lower as he
leaned forward, gazing at my diagrams,

THE BENEFIT.

On Thursday evening Miss McAllister's
annual benefit will occur, for which occasion
she will probably give the browning success
of the season in the production of a new
play from her own pen, entitled "Elvan-
lee." The drama is taken from the histor-
ical romance entitled "For the King" by
Charles Gibbon. The incidents of the
plot occurred during the last uprising of
the Scotch in 1745, to place Charles Ed
ward Stuart, ''Bonny Prince Charlie" as
he was called, on the throne. The Earle
of Strathroy led the clans. Lady Marga-
ret, his eldest daughter, married Sir Nal
colin Oliphant, who was for King George.
At the gathering Of the tenants atElvanlee,
Strathroy, disguised as a daberlunEie,
gained entrance to the tower. Lady Mar
garet, to prevent meeting between her
father and her husband, admitted him to
the library, whore, unknown to her, impor-
tant papers had been placed. Strathroy
stole the dispatches and escaped
by the window. Sir Malcolm
Immediately discovers the loss and
Lady Madge confesses to her fathers hav-
ing been in the library. Sir Malcolm de-
cides to write statement of the facts con-
corning the thief's name, out of love for
his wife, to President Forbes. He places
the statement in the hands of Col. Strong,
who has been sent by Gen. Kerr to see that
Sir Oliphant was ready for active service.
He is suspected of being in sympathy with
the Stuarts, and Col. Strong, paid spy of
Strathroy's who has been refused the hand
Of Lady Madge, out of revenge causes Sir
Malcolm's arrest, suppresses the statement
given him, and after hurried trial Sir
Malcolm is sentenced to be shot as a spy.
He attempts escape, is shot at and sup
posed to be killed. Col. Strong and Capt.
Spence strive for the hand of Lady Madge,
but finally Col. Strong is arrested and suf-
fers the penalty for all his crimes, while
Sir Otphant comes out triumphant, and
the play terminates with the most pleasant
denOuement possible
