A DUEL BY MooNLIGHT.-News OF de-
termined duel by moonlight comes from
Biarritz. 1t was fought by two young
spaniards of high family, who quarreled on
a very trivial pretext at soiree given by
the Baron de Bee. The combatants chose
pistols, and as the moon did not sufficiently
illuminate the scene candles and torches
were placed in a sequestered part of the
barons horticultural premises. Positions
were taken at twenty PAGES, and hardly
had the word of command been given when
one of the combatants fell shrieking to the
ground. He had been shot through the
right shoulder, the blade of which was frac.
tured. The bullet was extracted by a sur.
geon after little difficulty, and the wounded
hidalgo was taken home, where be now lies,
and is in fair way to recovery. He is the
son of a Spanish general. The seconds OF
the defeated combatant were Prince Olden'
burg, relative of the czar, and Don AL
fonso de Aldama, young Carist officer,
while the victor was attended on the ground
BIZ Comte de Lesser and the Duke of Ia
names, grandee of Spain ofthe hrst class,
husband Of one of the daughters of the Duke
of Alba, and nephew by marriage OF the
Empress Eugenie. The pretext of the quar-
rel is described as futile, but it is possible
that dark-eyed senorita was at the bottom
of it all.-Pdris Dispatch.

Before and After.

Mr.. Watterson, in the cour-a of an hdi.
torisl entitled Before and Aftcs,'' in the
Louisville, KY. Courier-Journal says:
"Whep in the early days f 1887 tho
| Courier.JournaL undertook to eouud the
alarm, and to warn the administration Of
the dangers which its want of sympathy
with the democratic party waa invoking,
we were filled by the assurance hat The re
nomination of the President wes inevitable,
and inspired by the truest desire for his re.
election In the light ct the returns from
the State of New York, all that was said by
US at that time reada to-day like a prophecy.
Mr.. Cleveland goes down among his people
because of the friends ne chilled into indif
! ference or converted into enemies. partly
through over'confdence in tbs s!or Of his
| destiny, and partly through the lack of
those amenities which 30 go fsr to mako
men strong or weak on occasions of emer-
gency. When the trial came there was lit
orally no one among the professional politi.
clans to make The Presidents fight his fight ;
no one among the great capitalists to ad
vance considerable sums of money; no one
among the leaders inspired by the sub
lime energy of personal devotion, and no
enthusiasm among the Tasses, other than
that brought out by the cold issue Of tariff
reform or started spasmodcally by the fig.
ure of the Old Roman flashing ftfuly
through the tumult and confusion of the
| fray. To all approaches for help, which
| the President thought be mad no right to
give, his one answer was that tbia wss not
the Administration but the peoples bat.
tle When be was asked directly from the
national democratic headquarters whether
| he was for us or against US, be emiled pleas
antly, and considered that which was only
half jest as oil tribute to his integrity.
As indeed it was, though at the expense Of
his wisdom. II ia true to say OF him that he
did not raise his hand to help himself, from
the beginning to the end of the campaign ;
that he did not encourage anybody else to
help him, and that In macy cases he did not
permit his official subordinates to help him.
This vas magnificent, but it was not poll.
tics. Undoubtedly it, and all that had pre-
cedcd it, made the difference in the vote Of
the State OF New York. 1t cost us and him

standing the emphatic warnings of all ex.

the projected route from England through
Hudson strait to Fort Churchill continues
to be discussed in England and Canada

ty, but this is far from being sufficient to
make the Hudson strait practicable trade
route The premium on this route would
have to be enormously high on account Of
the great number of dangers to navigation,
and at ell seasons the steamers would be
liable to long delays. Sir Charles Tupper,
who was present at this discussion, did not
take as favorable view as Markham, while
DR.. Rae condemned the plan as wholly Tn.

SETTER SpEIEG.--A company has purchased
the seltEer spring at saratogs, and has begun ez-
periments for the purpose of lIberating and ator-
Ing, in liquid form, the carbonic acid gra with
which it abounds. Prof. Oscar Brlnlo, German
expert, has charge of the work, snd has sounded
the spring to depth of 3 300 feet without touch
ing bottom or encountering any obstacle. This
strengthens the belief in the existence of great
subterranean sea which many acentifc men think
underlies Saratoga; and the company who are
sounding the setzer spring hope to solve the ques-
tion one way or another before long.

Still. cases Of sunstrOke do occur when the

Salvador Makes Pretty Nearly Everything
out of the FibeEa OF tho Tree.
A Young Salvadorian, with the dark eyes
and inky hair Of his country, talked to a
reporter the other day about the Central
American banana tree. The tree is ~ to
3 feet in circumference at its base. Its tap
ering fbrous body, without a branch, is from
10 to 10 feet in height. The fibers, separated
by thin pith, are as long as the body of the
tree. These fibers are used in Salvador, just
As they are taken from the tree, as shoe
strings and as cords for all purposes The
natives use them largely for bride reins and
lariats The raw material costs only trans
portation TO the ropewalks,
Each banana tree bears IN the twelve
months Of its existence only one bunch OF
fruit, but from two to ten trees spring from
the roots of the one that has fallen In Sal
vador the bunch Of bananas is worth fifteen
cents, and the dead tree nothing. A coriage
feetory or paper mill or coffee sack maker,
were not the dead trees numbcrless, would
! give for each tree ten tinses the value OF the
| fruit Il has produced Split, dried and
/ hacked. the bodies of the banana trees might
| be shipped proftably TO the United States;
| but there is no reason why some enterprising
/ American would not take them in hand and
ship TO Salvador the proper machinery for
their manufacture, as labor Is fully two
thirds cheaper there than in New York
In Salvador ropewalks are found in unfre-
| auented streets and suburban roads. The
native machinery consists of crank attached
to an upright board, with which native
boy twists the flbers OF the bandana and cac.
tus A man skilled in the ropewalker's art
splices the fibers together, adding to the
length and thickness OF the revolving cord
The stem Of each banana leaf consists of the
