Jean-Louis, the Fencing-Master.

A quarrel between French and an
italian regiment in the army of occupa-
ton, in Spain was settled By solemn
duel between the regimental fencing
masters, and Jean Louis, US the chief
instructor of tha French
regiment i'll question; took lead
ing part in it with distinction But it is
much to believe thathe saved his own
side all trouble i'll thematter by himself
killing or disabling 13 adversaries with
out once being touched. Apart from
such more than Homeric faats, however,
there Is quite enough to make Jean Louis
an interesting person. Beginning life
as an "enfant de troupe" iii the armies
of the First Republic, weakly looking
mulatto, without parentssor friends, he
gradually rose to be not only perfect
master of fence, but master who COM
manded the personal respect of his pu-
pills. comrades and superior officers, and
was not unfrequently consulted in affairs
of Importance touching personal or reg
mental honor. In his oldage he appeased
a, Iong-standing feudI between the
engineers and the infantry quartered at
nAoncpe1ilel ny tAe uoltl .uiu Sluple ue-
vice.of giving military assault of arms
in his own name, inviting the picked
men of both branches of the service to
contend and the rest of the garrison to
look on, and at the end making the men
a speech, and, with all the authority of
his position as "le pere de rescrime," :"
compelling them to abjure their enmity.
Moreover, Jean Louis succeeded i'll max
ing so good a pupil of his daughter that
she completely took the conceit out of q
young professional "a stranger to the
school Of jean Louis who had thought
it impossible that o woman could be a
serious adversary.-The Saturday Re-
view.

There has been q striking illustration
recently of the efficiency of the civil
service law, showing how much the sys-
TEN does to recognize merit. There
recently came to Washington from New
York gentleman who had been the
principal of a high school, but who, on
account of his health, was obliged to
abandon teaching. He.did not know .
person in Washington. He passed a
high examination under the civil-ser-
vice rules, and on one af,the first elig-
ible lists was certified to the war de-
partment. He was accepted on his exam
ination papers and, placed at desk in
the Quartermaster's Office. In about
two weeks a vacancy Occurred in q ST.
200 grade. Although he had passed an
examination for that grade he had only
Been appointed to $4,000 position The
chief of the office was so pleased with
his work and his industry that he pro-
noted this New York school teacher to
the vacant $1,000 place. The other
!; clerks in the Office ct once asked him
who his "backer" was, and insisted that
he must have powerful influence, as
SO rapid promotion had never been
known, In a few. weeks more his
efficiency and diligence was SO marked
that when vacancy occurred in the
secretary's Office where a person was
needed as. "a corresponding clerk, bis
name was mentioned as well fitted 70,
the place, and he was at once promoted
g that position, and now holds it to the
satisfaction Of his superiors. This New
I Yot&sischod teacher, unknown to the
politicians, could probably never have
received his appointment under the ole
system.

One Thousand Wives.

Do what they may, no Mormon leader

Sidi Muley Hassan, who has just added
the thousandth wife to his harem. and

a brilliant feast given to the other 99a;
or, rather, to the other 600, for 400 are
either dead or pensioned off. Like the

his better halves at one place, but dis

Held HI. Scat.

Generally, in skirmishes between the
railroad conductor and the obstinate
passenger, the latter gets the worst Of
it,-as he ought to; but now and then.
by sheer drollery, theparty in the wrong
will get the whole car-full of people on
his side, and the official has to give it
up. An incident of that kind was re-
ported in the Boston Herald the day be-
fore last Christmas, which by its very
absurdity, won the good will of, the
spectators:
A big, bur|y, good-naturedly aggres-
sive man entered Charleston horse car
with huge turkey in his hand, and
and having seated himself, he placed
his turkey on newspaper in sitting
position on the seat beside him. The
car filed rapidly, but the turkey kept
its seat, guarded by its burly owner.
When the conductor came through the
car, he noticed the turkey, and address
ing the man, said, "You will have to
take that turkey up"
"What for?"
"To let some of these people sit down.
You can't keep him on that seat"
"What's the reason l can't?"
Because these people are as much
entitled to a seat as your turkey"
"Well, who said they weren't? This
turkey aint bothering any one, and I'd
like to see any one bother him"
"You'll have to take him up, anyhow;
he isn't q passenger
, ssNo, he isn't; but he's mighty sight
better hammered than the average pas
senger you carry. He's clean, he amt
telling all he knows, he isn't drunk, he
don't smell of tobacco, and he don't spit
all over the floor"
By this time all the passengers were
laughing and the peculiar appearance
Of the turkey, as he sat bolt upright
with his legs spread out on the seat,
added to the merriment. The conduc-
tor annoyed at the laughter, excitedly
said, Every seat in this car that's occ,i-
pied has got to be paid for; now you
take that turkey up, or get out"
I won't do it. Here's ticket for him,
and see that you punch it. 1 guess it
don't make much difference to a railroad
company what kind of an animal occu-
piesa seat, SO long it's paid for So
the turkey kept his seat, to the great
enjoyment of the passengers.

statistics of Divorce.

Up to the beginning Of the present
century divorces were few, but about
the middle Of this period they began te
increase alarmingly. In the New Eng
land States during the year 1s46, there
were only ninety-four divorces; the next
year there were 1919. In 1854 the num-
Der reached 299, and increased until in
1864 we find 426 divorces granted. Dur.

Let me but hear sweet music's spell
Then welcome, Death! I shall die we'll,

Better to cease the strife and die

Blaine People Not Discouraged.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, June Al met Congressman Ros-
well G. Horr in the Grand Pacific lobby. He
said: 81 believe Mr. Blaine is the leading can
didate but am by no means certain of his nomi-
nation. Yesterday every indication was un-
favorable to him, but it must be admitted that,
for some reason, he has gained strength since
then. AS for Indiana, am afraid her oppor-
tunity has been frittered away. l believe that,
had Senator Harrisons name been withheld from
the convention until after four or FIVE ballots,
and then sprung, it would have been very favor
ably received, and for that matter it may be yet,
but regard the indications as more favorable to
Blaine"
ExCongressman Boutelle was in a jubilant
frame of mind, and was engaged in pouring
Blaine logic into the of Delegate McKeen,
of Indiana. 1.-The Blaine boom is gaining hourly, >,
he replied, when 1 addressed him; ''he has re-
ceived enough accessions from the South this
morning to nominate him. I don't believe there
will be more than five ballots altogether"
Mr.. Boutelle has had the Indiana delegates
piled most persistently this afternoon, and has
advanced the argument that if the State failed
to assist Blaine it could expect moth
ing from the administration in the event
of his election, and that, on the other
hand. help from it would not pass
without reciprocation. That this had its effect
is patent to everyone. Some men heretofore re-
garded for Arthur say it would be wise for Ind-
ana to make Blaine the nominee if it cannot Sc
cure its own man, and the vote of the State is all
that is needed for Blaine's success.
S. B. Elkins, commandant of the Blaine
forces stated that the future policy of the Blaine
men would be one of acquiescence and concilia-
tion instead of opposition, as yesterday. They
want no more test votes and on this account
they will probably not offer any serious objec-
tion to the seating of Malone
Colonel Robert G. Ingersol who is not so
much of Blaine man as he was few years
ago, said, this afternoon that he did not believe
either Blaine or Arthur would be nominated
He thought that Blaine had friends enough in
the convention to bring it about but, as he ex-
pressed it, somehow they don't hitch they
can't pull the right string"
