HOW HE MET COLFAX.
A Young Humorist's Night Ride over
the Prairie.


Burdette in the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the earlier days, when | drew my
lecture from its scabbard and swept like
a besom of holocaust across the land,
lectured one night in Macomb, Ill. AS
passed through Bushnell | was told
that | must drive up from Macomb that
night after the lecture, because Schuy-
Ter ColfaX would pass through Bushnell
the following morning at O'Clock; he
would have an hour or two to wait for
connecting train; the leading citizens
had arranged little surprise breakfast
party for him; there would be much to
say, something to eat and nothing to
drink, and had been appointed one of
the speakers. There were no trains,
but the distance was only twelve miles
and could drive.
Drivep | would walk. In those
younger days to meet a great man were
greater than to be a Roman, and to
make a speech at a great mans recep-
tion-remember, brethren, | was young
then. | was not snarling, toothless
old cynic, with ashes of disappointment
on my head and the cinder of enyious
distrust in my eye. So went willing
ly, joyously, proudly.
| believe, to meet the same man, |
would do it again.
l left Macomb at midnight. The
roads were not of the good, goody; they
were of the bad, BADLY; they were
prairie roads. 1t had been raining on
them twenty-five years, off and on,
on. The night was darker
than theological controversy. 1t was
raining like house afire. 1t seemed |
as though old Aquarius had got mad,
pulled her wide open, threw her clear
over. and was running wild for the
next deluge. 1t hundred hard enough
to sour mans temper. When it
lightened, which was nearly all the
time, you couldn't see anything for the
glare. When it was dark, which was
most of the time, you could reach out
and feel the darkness like fog bank.
Splash, splash, splash went the horses
the mud. Where they couldn't
wade they could swim. BY and by
there was scrambling sound in the

me much good, so that after / had
talked to the crew few hours in Eng
lish and received their harsh corduroy
replies in Norske, gladly fled to the
cook shanty. There | could rapidly
change to the smooth flowing sentences
peculiar to the Ohio tongue, and while
| ate the common twisted doughnut of
commerce we would talk on and on of
the pleasant days we had spent in our
native land. talked to him of his old
home until the tears would unbidden
start; he rolled out the dough with a
common Budweiner beer bottle and
shed the scalding tears into the flour
barrel. Tears are always unavailing,
but sometimes think they are more so
when they are shed into barrel of
flour. He was an esay weeper. He
would shed tears on the slightest prov
ocation or anything else. Once / told
him something so touching that his
eyes were blinded with tears for the
nounce. Then took a pie and stole
away so that he could be alone with his
sorrow.
He used to grind the coffee at a. m.
The coffee mill was nailed up against a
partition on the opposite side of my bed.
This is one of the reasons did not stay
any longer at the camp. 1t takes about
an hour to grind coffee enough for
thirty men, and, as my ear was gen.
orally against the pine boards when the
cook began, itruffled my slumbers and
made me a morose man.
We had three men at the camp who
snored. If they had snored in my own
language l could have endured it, but
it was entirely unintelligible to me as
it was. Still it wasn't bad, either.
They snored on different keys, and still
there was harmony in it-a kind of
chime of imported snore, as it were l
used to lie and listen to it for hours.
Then the cook would begin his coffee
mill overture, and / would arise.
When | got home slept from Monday
till Washington's birthday,
without food or water.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

Mrs. Lockwood's official organ pub

William h. Vanderbilt has giver
100000 as building fund to the New
York college of physicians and sur

Miss Carrie Wilton, whose sad death
upon Longs peak in Colorado, attracted

100000 and S250,000, to the society
for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
Most of Oscar Wilde's money accum-
ulated in this country was made out
side his lecture room. He was con-
stantly offered large sums by rich men
to visit their houses and suggest har-
monious colors and artistic effects in
decoration. He frequently got $500 for
visit of a couple of hours.
Carlyle's opinion of the literary call
ing is well known, but few fresh
words about it will be interesting
Literature as a profession" he says,
sis what 1 would counsel no faithful
man to be concerned with, except when
absolutely forced into it, under penalty,
as it were, of death.
A correspondentwrites to a London
paper to say that there is a female firm
of architects doing a fourishing busi
ness in that city, founded and superin-
tended by daughter of the gifted fam

of Postmaster General Fawcett.
The engagement is announced of AL

THE DUELLO.
An Incident of Early Days In
Louisiana.

New Orleans Letter to Chattanooga Times.
In this country the duel, especially
the political duel, fiourished for the first
fifty years of our national existence
even in staid New England, where bel
ligerents adjourned to Rhode Island on
the same principle that bank cashiers
favor Canada. In the south up to the
war the code prevailed, and the readi-
laurel of mans reputation. Among
the creoles the duel more than flour
ished; it blossomed to excess, and many
a tale of it remains. Not far from the
grounds where the magnificent build
ing of the Worlds Exposition glorify
the landscape with their assurance of
peace and progress is beautiful grove
of half a dozen live oaks, whose
green-gray plumes of long fan
| tastic moss possess strange
funeral suggestiveness. Their
story holds that in the early years of
this fair state six gay young creoles
gentlemen were strolling together to the
plantation of a mutual friend 1t was
heavenly night. The moonbeams
were waving their softening spell over
a scene by nature soft and languid to
volumptuousness. In breeze, fragrant
with kisses from the blossoms of an
orange grove not far, the six oaks gent
ly shook their messy pendants and
made fantastic shadows on the velvet
sward. "What place for sword
playr' exclaimed one of the party. 81
echo your sentiments ~ replied another
lightly. "Then let us try it," said the
first. ga capital idea," answered the
other, and he drew his jeweled rapier.
In a moment they were at it and the
weapons were waving in and out with
gaily glittering rapidity that made a
mockery of the gentle moonbeams.
"What pity for us to stand idly by!''
observed another of the party. ''Let
us pair of" said number four, and they |
all drew simultaneously 1t must have |
been a pretty sight-those three pairs |
of graceful and gallent fellows at parry
and thrust hard by those grand old |
oaks that live to-day. But the play
waxed warm; presently the eyes of the
combatants outflashed their swords,
and when the sun came down over the
rim of the level, lovely Louisiana plain
with the same semblance of suddenness
that one notes in his rise ON the ocean,
he looked on the ocean, he looked on
the six oaks, not as usual but on ghastly
upturned faces, for which those oaks
now stand monumental. -fOne man lin
gered a few hours over day to tell the
story of the night, and now as the story
of the night, and now as the stranger
steams up the muddy and moody river,
the creole points to the oaks with an
expression compounded of pity and
pride. 1t is easy enough to infer that
with the descendants of such men the
iuello, though dying, dies hard, espec-
ally in cline where the blood burns
l little faster than the north or in
EurOpe
