The Poet.

/ saw him bending breathlessly
With raptured face he had caught
Some mystic strair of melody
That unseen spirit hands had wrought
And sown the air with; sounds SO fine
They foated light as gossamer
And wove with CLEANS of dewy shine
Such music only he could hear;
His strange eyes, lit with stranger light,
Were weird dreams ami shone star bright
And as | gazed on them they seemed
Some mystery might have dreamed.
He touched his pen, and some low sound
Awoke in all the winds around
Until they sung and sung again.
And bubbled DER with ecstasy
And laughed and gurgled in such glee
felt their madness thrilling me;
And tangled in the drunken strain
The sunshine swept the silent hills
With surgng gusts of yellow rain,
Till Icould fancy that heard
1t drip and spatter on the gound
And dribble from the trees in rills,
And splash, and foam, and froth around
Until my very blood was stirred.

be used by Mr.. Moody. I shall see you at 3
o'clock this afternoon to learn from you the
ground which the parties shall meet etc.
Respectfully yours. GEORGE p. BUELL."
The numerous letters which brought about the
settlement of the duel and Heffren's retraction
are not necessary to be given here. Suffice it to
say that by slight concession on Moody's part,
and by Heffren's consenting TO publish a retrac-
ton in the two indianapolis papers of the day,
the matter was finally settled without bloodshed.
There is no doubt however, that both parties in
tended to fight up to the last, and it was only
through the efforts of Jones and Terrill that they
were prevented. The code duello has passed
into history. It's use is discarded In even the
Southern States, but now and then here
at Washington you will meet a man
who will tell you that the world is the
worse from its loss. ] know half dozen old
cline OF dueling and one have in mind who has
been the second in many duels, and who was
associated with JEFF Davis in one, who thinks all
the chivalry and courtness of the American
gentleman dropped out of sight with the decline
of the code. Still there a number of men in
public life to-day who have fought duels, and
there are not a few who have accepted and re-
ceived challenges Senator Joe Brown and Bob
Toombs came almost as near fighting duel as
did Moody and Heffren. Senator Riddleberger
and Representative Wise have shot at each other
under the code Senator Sherman expected to
receive a challenge from the man whom he in
suited by throwing box of waters in his face
nearly thirty years ago. and even now, when
there is an excitement in the House and hard
words are uttered, the old stagers about the
hotels wonder whether duel may not occur.
No man, however, can hold up the code to-day
and retain the applause of the public. A gener
alton more, and the old stagers will have passed
away. and the day of dueling will take its place,
with that OF Indian fighting, among the horrible
things of the forgotten.

The Western Unions Expensive Turkeys.

An interesting point of telegraphic law has
just been settled in an opinion delivered by
Judge Arnold refusing to grant the defendants a
new trial of the suit brought by Wilbert Rich
man against the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Rchman is a poultry dealer In Y rke-
town, N. j., and in October. 1884, photographed
to New York for quotation on turkeys. The
New York firm replied: twenty-five cents for
fat young turkeys" but when the message was
delivered to Richman it read, ''thirty- three
cents. Noticing that the price was high, he
asked the telegraph operator whether there was
not some mistake, but the latter replied, sI
thought it was high, too. and l asked back
whether they meant thirty-three. and they said
yes" Richman accordingly acted on the tele-
gram and lost SIG by 40 doing. He sued the
