A FATAL DUEL.

One Mr.. Knott, with Mr.. Schott
Into some quarrel got.
The cause was whaig-No matter what,
Their anger waxed hot.
Then Mr.. Knott called Mr.. schott,
Hsri names-no matter what,
And Mr.. 5cbott replied to Knott,
In terms-no matter what.
Wrote Mr., Knott straightway to schott,
Aud Schott wrote back to Knott,
Wrote Mr.. Knott again to Schott,
And Schott wrote back to Knott
SO Mr.. Knott from Mr.. Scbott
The deadly challenge got,
And Mr.. Knott sent back TO schott
That he declined 1t not.
Now Mr.. Knott and Mr.. Schott
Their tried revolvers got,
The friends of schott, the friends Of Knott
All went into the lot
Big Mr.. Knott, big Mr.. schott
Three glorious rounds they fought,
Our Mr.. Knott he got the shot,
And Mr.. Schott, he got 1t not.
As Mr.. Knott had missed bis Schott,
And Schott had missed his not,
SO Kaott was shot, and schtot was not,
And schott the glory got.

son Davis's youngest daughter who has
been called "the child of the Confeder-
acy," because she was born at Richmond
while her father ruled rs President of
the Confederate States-is on a visit to
the family of Gen. "Runy'' Lee, who
lives a few miles outside of this town.
Until last week Miss Davis had lived,
ever since the war, at her fathers home,
Beauvoir, Miss. A few days ago she
came to Richmond with her aunt, and
after calling on some of her family
friends she set out for Fairfax county
for a visit to Gen. Lee, who is one
of the Confederate Presidents closest
friends.
Many Alexsndrians have gone out to
Ravenswood, Gen. Lees country seat, to
pav their respects to this child
of the Confederacy. All speak
of her admiringly. Miss Davis is
a typical of Southern beauty. She
il lust tall enough to be command
ING in appearance, and has a svillowy,
graceful form which is clad with rich
ness and taste that are surprising when
II is remembered that this youg girl has
lived all her life in the retirement OF q
country house. Her face is long and
somewhat inclined to leanness, but its
every lineament bespeaks the patrician-
Her complexion is a rich olive, her eyes
hazel and her hair black and curling.
Although still very young, and without
society experience, she looks IKE a
queen among women as she stands re-
ceiving her callers. From her CONVEX

same sentiments as her father in regard
to the "lost cause" She regards 1t as
sacred theme and considers the Southern
people as martyrs to Northern greed and
jealousy. That she should imbibe such
sentiments is no more than natural
Ever since the war she has been at her
fathers side, his chief support and con
ISOLATION. He educated her personally
pave her his views of life, and fashioned
her in the mould of the ante-bellum
Southern lady.

THE Democratic campaign book-copies of
which can be had by government employees
Cor one dollar each--relates, among other
things. that under Republican rule the Civil
service Commissioners and all examiners and
appointees were Republicans. It also declares
that no civil.service reform was ever attempt
ed by Republicans. The compilers of the
book doubtless presumed on the ignorance Of
the Democratic readers of the pamphlet when
they ventured on these statements. Other
wise they would scarcely endeavor to pass off
Judge Thoman, one of the Commissioners APP
pointed by President Arthur as Republican.
The very fact that they found the civil-service
machinery in good working order, and so we'll
established that it could not be passed by or
abolished, is of itself contradiction of the
claim that no reform had been attempted.
Democrats who recognize the falsity of these
statements will n OF put the utmost confidence
in other charges against Republicans. The
book, however, is not intended for the use of
the intelligent members Of the party. Such
persons are merely to buy it for the sake of
getting their dollars where they will help the
cause of reform"

there viii be handsome Republican majority
to-day, and that the Legislature chosen
will be friendly to the return of
Senator Hale. But for the diversion referred
to, it would be safe to count on some
thing like an old-time Republican majority.
AS it is. the result will indicate substantial
Republican triumph, and as such it will have
to be accepted. It is an "off year." and the
Republicans of Maine will wear their party
obligations a little more loosely than in presi-
Dental election years, for it is quite certain
that Maine may be safely counted in the Re-
publican column for years to come and as
long as the Democratic party is what it is.

Is nonsense to talk of suing. Mr.. Wilson does

THE election to-day in the State of Maine
Is complicated by reason of the fact that
there are four State tickets in the
field - the Republican, the Democratic,
the Labor, and the Prohibition. The last
named will draw almost exclusively
from the Republican ranks, and whatever vote
1t may poll will by that much reduce the Re-
publican majority. 1t is practically the aux
Iliary of the Democratic party, and as such
has received the support and encour-
Rgement of Democrats, who have lost no
opportunity to assist in widening the gap be-
tween those who have seen fit to set up third
party rather than continue their allegiance to
that political organization which has done so
much for temperance all over the country.
But despite this disadvantage, it is felt that
