A Duel.

On one side of the Avenue de Saint
German, Paris, is situated a large
court surrounded by tall rookeries,
which are inhabited by rag-pickers. The
daughter of one of these useful mem
bers of society, bearing the soft name
of Zelie, who has seen twenty summers
and presumably, an equal number of
winters, encountered Mile. Marie Vol
sin, a young woman known to her. and
aged about seventeen years. Both fair
creatures happened to be In love with
the same fortunate rag picker, a certain
Mr.. Raua, 10 years old, who dwells at
Clichy, Zelie and Marie, therefore, held
high debate for atime, and finally, after
exchanging veritable challenges, they
got down to the cold and calm terms of
a regular contest, by which the point of
honor between them could be straight
way settled. They agreed to fight. The
weapons chosen were, of course, Scis-
sors. The duellist who should succumb
was to r~elinquish at onc and forever
all claim to the heart and person of the
gallant Bernard Rauq, rag-picker.
They armed themselves at once, pro-
ceeded to a vacant piece of ground, and
the battle began. Several wounds were
rapidly exchanged; light ones,it is true.
but yet sufficient to draw the gentle
blood of the combatants. Zelie soon
found herself hard pressed by her
younger and more fiery rival, and, in
receding as she dropped her guard, she
fell plump into a well, the opening of
which is on a level with the ground.
AS Zelie disappeared with a wild
shrek into the deep abyss in which
truth is additionally supposed to dwell,
Marie promptly obeyed a human m
pulse, and, forgetting all her resent
ment, ran for succor. The unfortunate
Zelie was drawn out, nearly suffocated,
and it was only at the end of a half
hour that she returned to conscious
ness.
The commlssary of Police lodged an
information against the two Bellona-
like young women for duelling and also
one against the proprietor of the ground
on wlseh the combat was fought, for
not maintaining a guard about the
mouth of the we'll. This double action
may possibly seem Illogical to some per-
sons, since had not the well not oppor-
timely received the fair Zelie in her
hasty retreat, the affai: might have had
a more sanguinary ending. Whether
she will now give up all p~retensions to
the love of Bernard Rauq we are una
BILE to say.

Syria, by which l mean all the eoun-
try bordering on the east of the
Mediterranean, may not have the
possibilities of many other countries,
but it has by no means paid its debt to
the world. Its history has been one of
retrogression o rseveral centuries, which
is contrary to the universal law of pro-
gress. Without believing in literal
restitution" without expecting to see
the Jordan Valley flooded by means of
a ship canal across the plains from this
village, and without looking for the
consummation Of any other ~stupendous
physical metamorphosis, l expect to
live to see the day when the Bedouins
will retire to Arabia, as the American
Indians sought the setting sun, and
when peace and prosperity will reign
over a tract of country, well developed
by railroads, extending from the Medi-
terranean Sea to the Persian Gulf.
1t is inevitable that the route from
Europe to India and the Far East must
lie shortened by a railroad from Con-
stantinople (Scutari) TO Busra at the
mouth of the E~uphrates, passing
through Bagdad. Firmans for such a
road have been obtained in the past.
Indeed, firmans have been obtained for
roads from Smyrna to Kunia, Adana,
Alntab, and Diarbekr, from Cairo
Egypt to Jerusalem, and for various
short lines in many parts of Asia Mi
nor and Palestine. The antagonism Of
a know-nothing government has, 1 am
sure, been the chief obstacle in the
way Of active railway construction.
Think of Damascus, the perennial
city," with over zoe, 900 inhabitants,
and without a railroad. China alone
can parallel such conservatism, and the
great Chinese cities have steamboat
communication.

K~ergueIen's Land.

In former years the Kerguelen group
of islands was noted as a favOrite breed
ing-place for the sea elephant. On this
account it has been much frequented
by sealers for the last 40 years, and re-
sorted to by whalers as a wintering
place. The elephants have been 80 reck-
lessly killed, that they are now quite
rare, but are still found in considerable
numbers on Hurd's Island. Probably
they would long ago have entirely aban-
doned the Kerguelen Island, but for
the single inaccessible stretch Of coast
called Bonfire Beach, where they
still ''haul up" in the months of Octo-
Der and November, and breed in con-
siderable numbers. This beach is shut
in by precipitous cliffs, across which 1t
is quite impossible to transport OIL in
casks, nor can boats land from the sea,
or vessels lie at anchor in the otling, on
account of the heavy western winds
which prevail a great part of the time.
On capturing a small female some sclen-
lists made a careful examination of 1t
with this result: 1t was eight feet and
ten inches long, and in girth eight feet
and four inches, being enormously fat.
The layer of fat, beneath the skin. was
four inches thick, and the body seemed
almost formless. and the fat quivered
like a Jelly. Another specimen which
they killed, a bull elephant, measured
twenty. three feet in length. These.fel-
lows, which alone are provided with a
proboscis, each take charge of a
large number of females, guarding them
from the approach of other bulls, and
prevent them from returning to the sea
before the young are old enough to do
so with safety. During the breeding the
bulls are very pugnacious, fighting
fiercely with each other, and even at
lacking the sealers themselves. AL
though seemingly so unwieldly, they
get over the beaches with surprising
speed-advancing both tippers at a
time and using them like crutches. The
beaches of the Royal Sound are fringed
by ianumerable wallows or cradle-sha-
ped pits, in which the animals lie dur
ing the breeding season, recalling the
buffalo wallows OF our Western pral-
ries.
Besides the sea elephant the sea Loop
ard often visits the island, as do sever
al species of seal. The leopard is hunt
ed for its oil, but is less valuable than
the elephant, being a much more ac-
tive animal, and therefore less heavily
loaded with blubber. The king PEN
gum is said to be its favorite food,
which speaks well for the sea leopard's
activity in water, the penguin swim
ming rapidly enough. of course, to
catch the fish upon which it feeds. The
leopard is described as pursuing and
overtaking the penguin under water,
rising to the surface aud tossing it into
the air, so as to catch it more securely,
crosswise, in its jaws. 1t is also said
that many species of whale and por-
poises abound in the nelghboring seas.
In the early days of whaling in the In
dian Ocean, the Desolation Islands are
said to have literally swarmed with
whales, for which the numerous inlets
and bays of the archipelago furnished
secure and sheltered breeding places.
Even now this region Is n Of the best
whale-fshiRg grounds of the Antarctic
Seas.

Arctic Adventure.

Now that so much discussion has
been raised on the subject of the alleged
c~annlbalism III the Greedy Expedition,
some interest may be felt in another
dreadful story of privation and danger,
where a similar temptation vas heroic
ally resisted, as told by James McIn-
tosh sole survivor from II Of the boats
of the whaler "Chieftain." On May
&c last the "Chieftain' sent out four
boats III chase of a whale, two of which,
one commanded by Alexander Balm,
tba harpOoper, lost the ship, and falling
to find her, shaped their course for Ice
land. Some days later two of Bain's
crew died and Mcintosh then came into
Bain's boat from the other to act as
steersman. The only other occupants
of the boat then were Balm and a sea-
man named McGregor. On the follow
ing day Balm thought he saw land, and
they altered their course to steer to it,
but found it to be only the reflection of
a cloud. By SO doing they lost their
cOnsOrt, which did not follow them.
Next day, McGregOr died. and his body
was committed to the deep. The same
day a storm arose, which lasted three
days, during all of which time Mcintosh
remained at his post as Steersman while
Balm lay helpless and despairlng in the
bows. At last the storm abated, and
the undaunted steersman addressed
some cheering words to his comrade.
without rousing him from his lethargy,
which continued so long that Mcintosh
at last grew anxious and though hardly
able to move, his legs being benumbed
with cold, managed to crawl along on
his hands and knees to the bow of the
boat, and found Baiu quite dead. A
terrible sense of utter loneliness came
over him, mingled with the fear that in
his desperate condition The had not
tasted food of any kind for several days.
he might yield to the temptation OF
supporting himself on the awful means
of nourishment within his reach. De-
termined to avoid this danger at all
events, he with a great effort, weak as
he was, succeeded in heaving his dead
comrades body overheard. On the
fourteenth day he perceived a small
schooner and made a desperate effort to
wave his cap to attract attention. He
was seen and picked up by the ship, but
1t was found necessary to amputate
both legs, modification having set in,
He finally arrived, at Dundee on Friday
week. This gallant fellow, whe is mar
ried and has me child, Is now in a per-
fectly destitute condition, as the loss of
his legs precludes his returning to his
former seafaring occupation, and he
has neyerdearned any other trade.

I,53O.4OO Acres of Land.

The Southern papers chronicle the
consummation of probably the largest
sale of lands ever made to private
purchasers on this continent. The
lands in question r situated in
Northern Mexico, and were purchased
by a syndicate of English and Scotch
gentlemen, named Mcpherson, Grant
and John Dalsell. Although the price
paid was only 81 900, 900 cash down,
yet the area of country sold was larger
than some of the New England States.
The possessions are situated in the
State of Chihuahua and Durango.
The title to the lands was perhaps the
most ancient of any upon the Ameri-
can continent. This was the first
transfer that had been made in 200
years. Longer ago than that the King
of Spain conveyed this tract of country
to the ancestory of Don Antonio
Ansunsala, where it had remained and
ton until the present time. More
than n thousand people as tenants
are living upon this soil, growing corn
and coffee and wheat in the villages
and sheep and cattle in the mountains.
The lands were bonded over two years
ago to Col. j. p. Lawson, of Colorado,
who paid $780, 900 for three years
bondsment. The stipulated price of the
land is 81 600, 900. An additional ST.
900, 600 is to be invested in cattle, blood
horses, and agricultural implements.
The half of this additional million has
already arrived from London and is
now deposited In the City OF Mexico
and Chihuahua to the credit of the fiscal
agent of the syndicate.
The estate consists of two immense
ranches. subdivided into six contiguous
haciendas upon each Of which there is
a village with an organized municipal
government. Two-thirds of the estate
lies within the southern boundary of
the State of Chihuahua; the remaining
third in Durango. The area embraced
by these properties is twenty-seven
Spanish leagues In length by an average
width of nine leagues, or an equivalent
in English measurement Of seventy by
seyenty-three miles, oil 1910 square
miles.
Large tracts of these lands are under
cultivation, the crop consisting princi-
pally of Indian corn, wheat, barley,
Irish and sweet potatoes. In addition
they are capable of grazing 10000
head of cattle and so, 1000 head of sheep.
Beside the above six haciendas, the
same syndicate has purchased two other
ranches adjacent, containing 100000
acres. The deeds of record show that
there was also included in this sale for
special stipulations not given, $4,000
head of sheep, 1900 head of unbroken
horses, 300 saddle horses, 800 broken
mules, 300 work oxen, 1000 hogs,
1000 saddles and brides, 800 sets Of
harness, together with immense
quantities of farming tools, many Of
which are of ancient patterns. Ameri-
cans who have visited the regions re-
ferred to state that it is the nearest ap-
proach to an earthly paradise to be found
on this continent. The lofty mountains
are rich In aurIferous and galenic
deposits, while the soil of the valleys is
capable OF producing every variety Of
tropical and northern fruits and the
cereals. OF cotton the crop, even
under shipshod Mexican methods, is
something wonderful.
