A Duel Followed.

During the Mexican war, after the
American army had entered the City Of
Mexico, the young officers had very little
TO do but to shine their shoes, dress well,
and visit the senoritas. Along with the
Kentucky troops was the famous story
writer, Mayne Reid. Oae day Reid was
shining his boots and repeating at the
same time the lines:
cat midnight in his guarded tent,
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knee in suppliance bent,
Should tremble at his power"
when Ned Marshall, our own Hon. E.
G. Marshall, now or recently Attorney
General of California, put in with ::
"Grease her knee, Reid? Now, why did
she grease her knee? Now. that's the
question that agitates this whole CONT
nent." Reid looked at him in utter con-
tempt, and made the laconic remark
''You are a fool" A duel followed, in

worst of it generally, - Richmond

One of Commissioner Hams adven-

preston on me when I was lad was an
advertisement in rhyme, printed i'll the
Maine Farmer, when it was published
at Winthrop by DR.. Holmes. 1t ran as
follows:
"'Ezra Whitman to his friends,
This humble notice, greeting sends ?
'"That couplet has come to me hun
bred times in the course of my life.

ed, and it was such a simple thing that

memory. One February day, at New

years of age, came into the Maine head

A Wife's Devotion.

The Boston Journal says: One of the
branch organizations of the Associated
Charities in Boston has found in a desti-
gence and good breeding who is glad to
do washing or any kind of work to
obtain bread for herself, her three chill
dren, and, strange to say, considering
the circumstances, her husband. He
has been employed for years in a large
dry goods store il Boston, and receives
regularly salary Of SIC week, but not
only contributes nothing to the support
of his wife and children, but is positive
burden upon them. The secret of it is
gambling, with which the fellow has be-
come so7infatuated that he has not only
spent his earnings but has borrowed
money and is now in the clutches of the
money-lending sharks. When they
were married the wife's father, who is a
well-to-do resident of suburban town,
gave them one of his houses to live in
rent free, but upon discovering the
course of conduct pursued by his son-in-
law told them that they would have to
go elsewhere. Since that time he has
repeatedly offered to provide home for
his daughter and her children. apart
from her husband, but she has steadily
refused to give him up. 1t is under
stood that he will be prosecuted under
the law which requires father to sup
port his minor children.

Water for Blasting Purposes.

The use of water in connection with
blasting in mines and quarries is rapidly
extending in this country and in Europe.
A tube filed with water is inserted in
the bore hole next the powder cartridge,
the tube being of thin plate, or even of
paper. The usual tamping follows, and
when the explosion occurs the tube con-
tanning the water is burst, the explosive
violence being increased by the presence
of the water, and extended over the en-
larged interior area of the bore hole, due
to the space occupied by the water tube
A much larger quantity of the material
to be mined or quarried is thereby
brought down or loosened with d
smaller quantity of explosive used,
while the heat of the explosion converts
a portion of the water into steam.
which, with the remaining water, extin-
cuisines the flame and absorbs and neu-
tralizes the gases and smoke generated.

TELEGRAPH PoLEs-How THEY USE UP
THE PINE FoREsTs-CEDAR Posya,

The nine hundred miles of additional
telegraph lines required outside of Lon
don for the cheaper service in August
next have robbed the Norwegian pine
forests OF some 10000 trees. English
larches used to be employed for tele-
graph posts, but they proved to be
sadly wanting in durability. The wood
was Of too close grain to permit Of its
being impregnated with ereosote, but
yet incapable Of resisting the effect of
moisture for any great length of time.
Larch, therefore, has been discarded,
and all English telegraph poles are now
imported from Norway.
In this country the closet attention
has been given to the question Of tele'
graph poles, for 1t has been found that
diyilends are very largely dependent on
the durability Of poles. We uGe various
kinds Of wood, cedar by preference, and
IL is said that the durability Of pole
d"pends 10 some extent on the time OF
year in which it is cut down. A sound
cedar post felled in winter, when the
sap is low, will last for sixteen years. A
spruce pole will last seven years only

A Cowboys Whip.

"The hilarious cowboy has tastes
which we are constantly endeavoring
TO cultivate and satisfy. Here is the
latest efforts in that line," said a dealer
in horse iewelry, to a reporter. He held
in his hand a peculiar whip. There
was a metal stock seven inches long, in
the butt of which was a heavy whistle.
Pulling out the whistle, he revealed
go of the whistle spring poppedit back
in place, where it closed the match safe.
Around the stock was a short thong of
lacing leather which made loop Just
large enough to hold two fingers of the
cowboys hand. The other end of
the stock terminated in tapering rub
Der half an inch in diameter at the thick
end and quarter of an inch a foot
away, where there was little loop. A
steel sprn g wire ran through the rub
Der to give it strength. Two feet of
heavy leather about the size of a sewing
machine band was drawn half through
the loop, thus forming double lash.
"People here do not know how to
whip a horse" the dealer continued,
They lash him under the belly and
across the shoulders. The patient ami
nal at last balks. Ii / was horse l
wouldn't balk; I'd kick the stuffing out
of every thing within a rod of me if 1
was whipped like that. The cowboy is
more persuasive. He swings the whip by
that loop around the handle over
two fingers of his right hand, and sway
ing the whip across in the front of him,
brings his hand down on his left hip.
The double lashes have an exhilarating
effect on the horses hind quarters.
Only an unbroken Mexican broncho
would fail to appreciate that sort of
treatment, and if he survived the ap-
plication of six-inch buzz-saw spurs
that would Immediately follow, he would
never hesitate again when whipped on
the quarters

Why General Grant Cannot Sleep.

General Grants inability to sleep
comes not so much from condition of the
body as from unrest of the mind. He
has it firmly rooted that he is going out
in disgrace and under a cloud, and all
that his friends can say to him in no
wise changes this belief He talks very
freely with certain of his intimates on
the subject, and he tells them of his
modification and chagrin that he should
have been duped by Ward, and that so
many persons should have lost money
by him. He thoroughly understands,
and indeed it is the truth, that Ward
used the name of Grant to carry on his
schemes, and that many persons were
ed into them because they had con.
tidence in Grant. And so Grant, with
a mental disease upon him, and con-
sciOus that his end is at hand, rests with
wakeful eyes day in and day out, and
thinks, thinks, thinks. He tells his
dearest friends that the responsibilities
of battle and of leading the armies of
the nation gave him no such concern as
has this Ward business; that rest in the
White House in the critical period when
the country was recovering from the
effects of civil war was sweet compared
to the rest that has come to him in the
last nine months. He had hoped that
fortune might in some manner smile
upon him SO that he might return to
those who have lost the money thus
wasted. He would write, he would
work, he would do anything to remove
this stain from the family. But that he
is attacked by disease that must prove
fatal, and soon he became too weak and
too sick to stir out of the house. So he
silently and grimly and without word
of complaint keeps to his couch and to
his easy chair, and thinks. He mourns
because he cannot make restitution and
because he is helpless. 1t preys upon
him so that he cannot sleep. Boston

Mr.. Washburne's Predicament.

Probably one of the most notable
Ministers we ever had abroad was
Washburne, at Paris. Yet he was the
hero of an incident of social misfortune
which would have driven any of the deli
cate creatures now swarming after a
foreign place to commit suicide, if they
had been similarly unfortunate. Wash
burne was one evening at a court dinner
given by Napoleon III. 1t was the Gus
tom at these dinners when the empress
arose to retire with the ladies for the
gentlemen to rise from their seats aud
step back from the table so that she
could pass down the line between them.
By this all could avoid turning their
backs upon the empress.
Washburne had very tender feet.
During the dinner his feet gave him a
great deal of annoyance. To ease him
self he had quietly slipped off his patent
leather pumps under the table. He was
absorbed in conversation toward the
close of the dinner, and was caught I'M
awares when the empress made the sig
nal of departure. He was obliged to
step back without having time to put
on his pumps. He stood in his stock
ing-feet, grave, dignified and self-pos-
sessed, in the row of grinning diplomats
who stood at his right and left. He be-
trayed none of the embarrassment that
he must have felt, and was never heard
to allude to the incident by anyone.
