Ben Perley Poore, in Boston Budge,.l
 Hon. ames Watson Webb who was for many years editor of the New York Courier and Enquirer, was the last avowed duellist al the north. His last :. meeting" was at Wilmington, Del, with Tom Marshall. of Kentucky. He was not only wounded in the left knee. but on his return 10 New York he was tried and sentenced to two years hard labor in the penitentiary. Governor Seward pardoned him, and he renounced duelang, but when he was at Washing ton. a, the tune of the assault on Sumner, he was challenged again, as he thus told the story:

He expressed himself very strongly upon matters in which his feelings were nov ed, but they were always moved in the right direction, and, though when con- tending with an adversary on paper he did not use the feather end of his pen. his heart was as soft as wcman'x He was never moved by those petty jeal- ousies which (wifh little reason. as far as my experience goes) are attributed to his craft ; and the last time he spoke to me on literary subjects vas in praise of one who might well have been considered his rival-Wilkie Collins.

Amusing Mistakes.
Chambers Journal


 A German antiquary once made the delightful discovery that stone placed over staole-door bore the inscription of ioSr.
 :. must have this stone in my collec- ton, cost what it may thought the savant.
 Calling a tenant farmer, who was the proprietor, the professor said to him,
 "Did you not obtain this stone from E, castle ruin on the hill yonder.,
 It may be that my grandfather fetched it thence when he built the stable, was the reply.
 The an,iquAy then asked wba; Le would take for the stone.

 Rather large sum-" said the pro- lessor, !" bu, bnng if to my residence and you shall have the money
 When in due course the farmer brough, the stone spon track, the jealous anti quary turned it over to refresh hls eyes with a sight of his venerable carono- logical inscription, no, withou, anxiety that il nigh. have been damaged in it's removal
 Why Y he exclaimed, "what is this 1. This is not the righ, stone. On the stone l bought frou you was the date ioSt. while this beais tEe very modern date 1901, which proves that the other was exactly 72o years older than this-s

 The professor, 1t is said, a, once paid the whole sum, and gave the man a ore. sent beside to take away the stone and say no more about the matter
 The numerous instances of mistaken identity on record are constantly rece;v- ing pew additions. There is an amusing account of French lady who was very jealous of her husband, and determined to watch his movements On one occasion, when he told her he was going to Versailles, she followed him, keep- ing him in sight until she missed him in a passage leading to a railway station. Looking about her for few minu :es, she saw a man coming out of a glove shop with a rather over-drssed lady Making sure from the distance that this man was her husband, she came suddenly up, and. without a word of warning, gave him three or four boxes on the ear. The in- stan, the gentleman turned round she discovered her mistake, and at the same time, caught sigh, of her husband, uho had merely called al a tobacconist'S and was crossing she street. There was nSsh- ing for it but 10 faint in the arms of the gentleman whose ears she had boxed. while the other lady moved away to avoid scene The stranger, astonished to find an unknosn lady in his arms, was fur sher startled by gentleman seizng him by the collar and demanding what he meant by embracing that lady.
 "Why. she boxed my ears and then fainted, " exclaimed the aggrieved gentle man.
 "She is my wife .' shouted the angry husband, and would never have struck you without cause.'
 And worse than angry words would probably have followed b d not the eAuse of the whole missnderstanding re- covered sufficiently to explain how i, happened.

whittier's Correspondence
IDe,roi, ChaG.

We were all of us sorry to read, not SO very long ago. that the kindly Oiaker poet. Whittier had called in his cores pondenee and was committing it to the flames He feared lest someone's feel ings should be hurt by its publication and the action vas characteristic cf his gen,leness, though we are all losers by it. He was thinking of Carlyle, os course, when he took the resolve to destroy h,s letters, for the correspondence of the grca, English philosopher and dyspep,ic had just been given to the world. with what results everyone will remember. If Whittier has since then changed his mind or falsered in his purpose for any reason. his old resolution must now be strengthened by the recent publication of froude's Life in London It is with reluctance that an admirer of Carlyle brings himself to believe that the Titanic old man could have used these words of Gladstone "Oae of the coniempdblest men ever looked on, poor Rifualist ; almost spectral kind of phantasm of a ,mAn-noeAing in him but ferns and ceremonies and outside wrappings: in- capable of seeing verbally any fact what ever" or have seen in John Blight only the " coek-nose and pugn scioux.eyes and Barclay-Fox-Q Quaker collar or wildly characterized Margares Fuller as strange, lifting, lean old maid.s All these things grieve us who feel fond ness for the writer and a respect for the persons he has % cruelty impaled on the point of his pen, and we cannot but re- gret to see our idol tumhled from his pedestal. And yet perhaps it is true as Mr. Frcude says-" taking Carlyle all in all, there Eeser was . map-I as leass never k1sew of one-whose conduct in life would better bear the 6ercest light which can be thrown upon it.s Should hu- manity, with all it's weaknesses, be ex- posed to such keen and searching light ?

THE New York San, which opposed
Cleveland's nomination, now regards his
candidacy as protest against the as
sumption involved in the nomination OF
Blaine, that it does not make any differ
ence whether man is honest or not
The Sun says:
The one conspicuous defeat in Mr.
Blaine's career has been his indifference
to official integrity The one prominent
feature of Governor Clevelands admins
tration has been the confidence which hi
has inspired in his rectitude of purpose
and honesty of action as public officer.
In training, in experience in knowledge
of affairs, 1t cannot truthfully be said tina
he is Mr. Blaines equal. He had vas
deal to learn when he became governor
and the field of necessary knowledge
which the White House opens to view il
much more extensive and eXacting. Blu
he is strong where his antagonist is weak
His honesty is not doubtful
