Dueling No Longer in Fashion.

The dueling code is certainly going
out of fashion in the south. A case in
point occurred the other day. The
city editor of great paper took a holi-
day and appointed one of the reporter
ial corps his pro TEN. This promoted
reporter requested another of the corps
to attend to certain matter, which he
refused, saying it was the city EDITORS
business, not his Words multiplied, a
blow was struck, a scuffie ensued, and
they were parted Next morning the
temporary editor, grandson of famous
Napoleonic general, sent his brother
reporter peremptory challenge, j. e.,
! one that leaves no room for apology,
instead of one that bears the provision
of unless or if.
The challenged reporter, son of a IA
nous southern senator, was clearly in
the wrong from the start. His friends
felt so, and would have made him apol-
ogize, but no chance of that was given.
With as much secrecy as possible the
meeting took place under ''The Oaks"
as the old dueling ground of the city is
called, and where many famous duel
has been fought. The seconds were
measuring off the ground, when letter
signed by some of the most prominent
citizens and old soldiers of the town,
was brought to them, praying for
postponement fora day, and submission
of the matter to their arbitration. The
seconds decided to grant it, and placed
their principals under arbitrament.
The result was that the committee Or
dered the senator's son to apologize,
which he did. The apology was ac-
cepted, and friendship reigned again.
So much for the progress of peace in
southern society! The long night of
brilliant barbarism is passing away,
and the day cometh in which all men
may work.-NeW Orleans Cor. Nashville

old Maine Fort.

Soon after the arrival of the Whites
here it is claimed by the descendants of
John that he built this oak structure,
which has served to perpetuate his
memory to a greater posterity than
many headstoncs that were placed in
position at our cemetery in those days.
There seems, however. to be n slight
discrepancy in the date of its construc-
ton, if it is the same as is referred to
in Smith d Deans Journal, but that il
was built between the years 1928 and
1880, and handed down to descendants
OF John White as his property, there
can be no question. One can hardly
conceive how such a building could
stand within mile of three thousand
inhabitants and within two miles of the
county courthouse at the city of Port
land and yet be known of only by so
very few.
The dimensions of the structure are
1929 feet and about 10 feet to the
caves. Its walls are built of hewn oak
to 8 inches in thickness, which has
become by age almost as tough as lig-
numvite. They are laid one on top Of
the other, having been first hewn to a
surface as even as the average oak could
be fitted with plane to-day, and was
then, as it would be to-day, absolutely
bullet-proof, and, with the exception Of
few modern improvements thereto,
1t would afford perfect protection to
those who might gather within against
the storming of boisterous crew with
out, as it did when the whole commu-
nifty gathered under its roof within its
hospitable walls as protection from
the then hostile Indians. 1t was then
known as the old fort.
There is now swinging from a crane
over the fireplace, wherein has blazed
a fire and cooked the food for the set
tiers nearly two centuries ago, an iron
KETTLE, and, coupled with other anti
quities which the eyes of the visitor be-
hold on every hand in looking through
the building, easily carries one back to
those days when white mans exis-
tence in Maine was filed with sober
realities. The cellar is of average depth,
and to gain access thereto would re-
quire no end of digging, the embank-
ment being carried some distance from
the building, and on range with the
sill.
The building has undergone some
changes, but not of character to re-
lieve its antiquity upon close examina-
ton, its walls having been clapboarded,
and on the inside the solid oak ishacked
and SCARED to receive mortar, and is
in that way plastered. The windows
have been somewhat changed but one
or more remaining indicate that they
were about 15X30 inches in size, with
an opportunity for shutters. Certain
features about the roof indicate great
age, but is probably not the same placed
there at the time of its construction.
In 1770, Mr.. Thrasher built two
story building, of which the subject of
our sketch serves the purpose of an L.
The cellar of the main building is of
more than average depth, is floored
with large flat rocks, and contains many
conveniences that builders of the pres
ent day would do well to emulate, such
as large milk-room entirely indepen-
dent from the main cellar, and large
set kettle for cooking the food necessa-
ry for large stock of cattle and swine.

The war Of the rebellion is evidently
at an end. For sixteen years the oc-
cupants of the presidential chair were
ex commanders in the union army and
their cabinets were largely made up
from the same class of men, But now
civilian who didn't go to the war at
all wields the chief executive power and
there is only faint suspicion of mill
tarsm in his cabinet, and that little is so
so disposed as to wholly without signi-
ficance or reference to the fact that the
mighty north came out ahead in the
great struggle. Lamar was lieuten-
ant colonel IN the confederate army,
but resigned in 1863 to take a foreign
mission. Villas was a lieutenant colo.
mel in the federal army, and resigned
in 1868 to take up the practice of law.
None of the others shouldered gun
or wore a sword in the war. 1t is bet-
ter thus. Northern and southern
