The Last Duelist of the North.

Hon. James Watson Webb, who was
for many years editor of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, was the last
avowed duelist at the North. His last
meeting was at Wilmington, Delaware,
with Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. He
was not only wounded in the left knee,
but his return to New York he was
tried and sentenced to two years hard
labor in the penitentiary. Governor
Seward pardoned him and he renounc-
ed duelling; but when he was at Wash
ington, at the time of the assault on
Sumner, he was challenged again, and
he thus told the story:
Il was at Washington at the time of
Brooks assault on Sumner The Co,tr-
Ter and Enquirer came out denouncing
Brooks as a coward, Gen. Quitman,
Il northern man and an old and init
mate friend, waited on me and said.
General, | am sorry to see YOU

chair. i have a message for you, he
continued, and am ashamed to bear
it, but if | refused l couldn't live in the

and we will fight tomorrow afternoon

L am now church commitment, and
have changed my views regarding du-
cling. l would not now fight a person
al duel-a duel for personal affront.
Moreover, l have no personal quarrel
with Brooks. He and dined together
at Governor Atkins only three days
ago But will fight for my country
and its institutions and principles in
private combat the same as armies do,
and ask the blessing of God on the is

A dude from Louisville wanted to go
off and die at Huntingburg the other
day. He was one of the slimmest of the
slim, and his long legs, encased in very
tight pants, didn't look as if they could
cast shadow.
As every body knows, the Louisville
train stops at Huntingburg awhile, and
the passengers often get out and
''stretch their legs The dude didn' t
have to stretch his legs, but got out for
a little exercise.
Now. Huntingburg has some well
posted people, but also owns some of
the worst country specimens we ever
saw.
As the dude was walking up and
down he noticed that two very rough
looking country hunters, each with an
old shotgun, were watching him, and
he became rather nervous, and just as
he was starting back into the car one
of them stepped up and the following
conversation ensued:
..Say. mister, | don't want to AK too
much, but does them hurt you"
docs what hurt me, sah?"
"Why, them thar pants
.'No, sir. they do not. and | assure
you they are made in the most ultra
fashionable manner; in fact, quite la
mode, replied the dude, as he gazed
on them complacently.
well, | don I know what all that
/ thar means, but me an Bill was a
watchin' You. and allowed from the
way you walked they hurried you. and
as they were jist what we wanted, we
allowed we d ak you for EN-.
.'Oh, no, sab, they don't hurt, but
but, as You seem to ike them so much,
I'd much ike to know why you took
such fancy to them?"
'.Wall, stranger, now honest, we
thought they hurt We. and allowed
mebbe ye had another pair, and would
/ give us these, or we wouldn't said a
word We axes yer pardon.
but, my friend, why don't you ex-
plain what you wanted them for?n
..Wall, you see me an Bill has two
fine guns. and they git awful rusty, and
we allowed them pants would be the
very thing
For what2 Idon't understand.
ssWhy, don t-ye-see, we'd just spill
'em in two and sew up the bottom, and
they'd make two nice gun cases. jist

W. I. Chamberlain, of Norwich,
Conn, has invented way of charging
cartridges with compressed air in lieu
of pow der. The shell is pressed in a
receiver and then filed with compressed
air. a valve in the base of the cart
ridge closes when it is removed from
the receiver, and the cartridge is ready
for use. The shell IS discharged by
opening the valve. when the air forcibly
drives the projectile from the barrel.
The inventor claims to have obtained g
