They Didn't Fight.


! "A veteran newsdealer of Washington
gives the following about duel which
was once anticipated between Martin
Van Buren and Henry Clay: 1t was be-
fo-e Van Buren was elected to the Presi-
dency--when both he and Clay were in
the Senate. One day he and Mr.. Clay
had some hot words in debate, and the
word went forth among Washington gos-
sips that a duel would be the result.
That night the matter was discussed over
tea tables and in the hotels, and it was
expected that the duel would take place
the next morning. Some even went 80
far as to give the names of the seconds,
the weapons and the place of meeting.
When the Senate opened the next day
there was great crowd at the Ceplto!.
All the galleries were filled and every
eye was strained in watching the door
and seats of Clay and Van Buren. AS
the Presidents gavel fell neither was
present. and the spectators were sure that
the duel was going off. A moment later,
however, Mr.. Clay came in and took bis
seat, the chaplain prayed, and still Van
Buren, was absent. AS the amen was
said, Mr.. Clay arose, turned slowly
around, and walked down the aisle. AS
he did 40, Van Buren, dressed in his
usual white duck suit, entered the door.
The galleries held their breath. MIR Van
Buren reaching out his hand, said GLOW
do you do, Mr.. Clay and iNIr. Clay TAX
ing it, replied: "Very:swell, Mr.. Van
Buren; and you look we'll, too. I wish
you were as white on the inside as you
appear to be on the outside" The audi
ence at this saw there was to be no duel,
and, thes galleries were cleared at once.
The meeting. had been arranged. by Clay
and Van Buren, in order to show the
people there was nothing in the rumor.

= Friday night Mrs. Christopher
schreiver, of Albany, N. Y, aged 33
years, while temporarily insane, cut the
throals of four of her children with
razor. Their ages were 7, S, and 8 years,
and 9 months. The heads of all were
nearly severed from their bodies, The
woman seized her nine-yesr old daughter
in her arms and ran down to the railroad
track, where she seated herself on the
rail and waited for train to kill her
and her child. Mrs. Schreiver's body
was found in fearfully mangled condi-
ton, her head, both legs, and one arm
having been cut off. The girls left foot
and her left arm above the wrist were cut
off. She was horribly bruised, but was
conscious when picked up. She s:id
she could not get away from her mother,
who threw herself before the cars, ,sand
that the locomotive struck her 1.-THE child),
and she was thrown from the track, her
left foot and arm falling across the rail.
The child died next morning. The ia
ther, q German blacksmith, is nearly
crazed with grief. The couple lived
happily. The woman's insanity is said
to have been due to the loss of savings

Killing Made Easy.

In the time of Napoleon it was esti.
mated that it took 600 bullets to be fired
in battle before man was killed; IN
other words, every lead. soldier repre-
sented his own weight in lead. But the
recent improvement in firearms has added
to the efficiency of the soldier. The
created range of the rife, as we'll as the
rapidity With which it can be fred, has
made it thirty.two times as effective as
the old smooth.bore. To put it more
accurately, military authority says that
the modern rife is superior to the old
smooth. bore in the following particulars:
1t is eight times more effective in accu.
racy, thirds greater in range and
five times greater in rapidly
of aimed fire; while the weight of the
cartridges per man has diminished, yet
the number that may be carried has been
increased. The added efficiency of the
heavy guns is no less surprising. The
famous Krupp now makes gun of nine
inches caliber and eighteen tons weight
which will send a ball through twenty
inches of solid iron; and his feld-gun,
within a range of more than mile and
a half, can be depended upon to put
every projectile into space of less than
two hundred square feet. Taken into
the breech-loading, rifles,
better power, improved projectiles, the
lighter carriages of steel, the science of
artillery has been revolutionized ; aud
one battery to-day is more effective than
twenty of those so skillfully handled by
the great Napoleon. In the next great
battles some dreadful engines of destruc'
tion will be brought into play. The
Hotchkiss revolving gun can fire burst
ing shells at the rate of eighty minute.
1t can pour out continuous and deadly
fire of seventy.ive pounds of metal, or
1,2)0 hits, every sixty seconds. 1t is
fearful to think of the havoc which would
be caused by the guns of the future.

Statement of Mr.. BENZ. H. Hearndon

Early in November, 1851, while sewing on the
machine, my wife was taken with severe pain in
her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages
from her lungs and severe cough. Fever com
menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in
few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
The attending physician told me that he thought
one of her lungs was entirely gonc She could not
retain the most delicate nourishment on her stom.
ach. / then agreed with Dr.. Sullivan, my family
physician, to call Dr.. Holloway in consultation.
They made final examination Of the patient and
pronounced the case hopeless. DR.. Holloway then
suggested the Brewers Lung Restorer as last
resort. l sent for a bottle and gave her dose. I
found that she could retain it on her stomach, and
after about the third dose, began to notice some
improvement In her condition. 1 continued the
medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken
two bottles she was able to walk about the house.
She is now in better health than she has enjoyed
for several years. l believe the Lung Restorer
saved her life. We have family Of six children,
some of them grown"

Remarkable Results.
I have had remarkable success with
Swift's Specific; have cured several cases
permanently in a very short time. One
case which am now treating was given up
to die, and after using three bottles is so far
recovered that I think one more bottle will
cure her. The most remarkable case of all
vas lady with medulary cancer of the

After using one bottle I am satisfied she
will soon be cured.

A Historic Relic.

About the year 1870 there came tc
this country, one Robert Lang. He was
a sea Turing man, but firing of the ocean
settled at Portsmouth, New Hampshire
where he built house in 1875, which is
still standing and in a good state of pres.
ervation. II stands in what was then the
most aristocratic part Of the city, near the
residence of the old colonial Governors,
Wentworth and Morgan, called puddle
Dock" There is now in the hands of the
writer a direct lineage, down through
over two hundred years, or seven genera
tions; a hundred years before the War Of
the Revolution, and only about fifty years
after the landing of the Pilgrims on Ply
mouth rock. The before mentioned
house has been repaired during the past
spring. 1t is strongly built of timber,
called New Hampshire Pasture Oak, very
valuable now for ship building. 1t is
walled up between the studs with brick
made in England. The nails were hand
made and rather coarse at that. The
house was used during King Philips war,
as garrison for British troops. The
writer has secured some pieces of plank
from the house, sawed with a whip saw,
which he designs to make into canes,
which their great antiquity will make
valuable 10 the family.
A singular coincidence in this connec.
ton, is the fact that without the knowl.
edge Of the name of their most remote
known ancestor, one Of the seventh gen.
GRAFTON, named a son, being the eighth
generation, "Robert," the only one of
that name known In the line. There
are now living, representatives of four
generations Of the Lang family. J.B.L.
