things lively for every one that showed him
self in his front Mr.. Mason proposed to go
down, take possession Of the cupola OF house
some hundreds of yards distant, where no
could secure a commanding aim, and en-
deavor to silence or dislodge tue man from
that point; but Col Terry, after few ques-
lions as to the roads and paths, quietly made
his way to position in pine thicket nearly
in front of the sharpshooter and for time
be was lost to view. His weapon was W hit
worth rifle, with telescope sight, one Of the
very few arms of the kind then in the south.
Not more than three hundred yards from
his place of concea.nenU was a field OF low
ShrubDery well in advance of our picket line,
and beyond that an open meadow, to attempt
10 cross which meant certain death. Sud
denly, through our field glasses, we observed
q movement in that field of shrubbery, slight,
it is true, but nevertheless perceptble, al
though il scarcely seemed possible that the
colonel had ventured that far from our lines.
What appeared to be a head cautiously
showed itself and at the same instant a
Union picket stepped boldly into view and
fired, but il vas the last time he ever pulled
a trigger. Quick as e fash the sharp report
of a rife rang out and the man fell. The act
was followed by visible commOtion in the
Federal line and dozen bullets were sent in
the direction Of that black SLOUGH hat. Sew
eral answering shots We're discharged In quick
succession, and then firing was temporarily
suspended, as if both sides had stopped to
count up casualties
1t was not until late in the afternoon that
we knew whether Col. Terry was alive or
dead, or learned the history Of his adven-
ture He had cTept unobserved to favor
able position, and then played familiar
Indian trick. Placing his hat on g stalk and
throwing himself on his stomach, he thus
attracted the attention and drew the fire Of
the distant sharpshoOter, but before the smoke
had fairly left the poor fellows rifle lie was
a dead man The aim Of the latter had been
equally unerring, for his bullet has passed
clean through the treacherous sOnbrero Of
the colonel Prompted by the spirit OF daring
which subsequently made him notorious,
Terry afterwards moved to other points
along the picket line, AM wherever he found
a target his rife was sure to make SOM IN
fortunate bite the dust. Later in the war, il
is my impression he was appointed TO the
command of a body Of cavalry, and did serv-
ice in the southwest. But for the pictures of
Judge Terry recently published, | should not
have associated him with the foregoing mar
rative, or recognized the husband Of Sarah
Althea Hill as the victim of his own folly.

MR. LINCOLN'S AFFAIR.

NIX. LINCOlANS AFFAIR
Perhaps Mr. Lincoln's affair with Shields
was the last duel fought in America by any
prominent men, though at the time Mr.. Lin
coin was unknown without the limits of his
state. The sentiment of the people as well as
the law is now unanimously against the duel.
By the common law when one of the parties
kills the other the slayer and the seconds are
guilty Of murder. In some of the American
states the offense is punishable by death; in
others, by Imprisonment and forfeiture of
political rights. In the army and navy the
duelist is liable to be cashiered. In America
the system may be said to be practically
dead. In England very much the same con-
dition exists In France, while statesmen
fight duels, they fight them rather IN defer
ence to an antiqUated Inherited custom than
for the purpose Of drawing blood. At least
they take care that the least possible amount
shall be drawn. In Germany there is still
great deal of duehng, and In the southern
European countries.
The Irish seemed to have a passion for
dueling, as the English would race horses,
or the Americans become enthusiastic for
baseball. They loved the code as an expert
angler delights in approved methods II
catching FISH, or a whist player in the rules
of that game Charles Lever draws a char
acteristic picture in one of his novels of an
Irish duelist who was bounded for debt He
took refuge in q country house; the bailiffs
suspected his retreat, but not wishing to
force an entry, and understanding the debt
or's taste for the code, resorted TO a ruse.
One morning the dueiist arose and looking
out OF his window espied a couple preparing
to fight with pistols in the yard.
Hold there he said, throwing up his
sash That man is placed with the sun
shining directly in his eyes WhereUpon
the bailiiTs who were watching stepped for
ward and claimed their prisoner.
During the civil war in America there were
few il any dueis. There was enough jeal-
Ousy among generals 70 have caused the kill
inc Of halt the men who wore stars on their
shoulders had the spirit Of the early part o: the
century existed; but there was sufficient OPP
portunity for officers 10 display their courage
in presence Of an enemy without fighting each
other. and the only notable instance OF kill
Ing between officers was the killing Of Gen.
William Nelson by Gen. JEFF c. Davis, and
in that case Davis shot Nelson without the
fornaltv Of challenge. II does not appear
that dueling was prevalent in tbs southern
army either.

to the strictest rules of etiquette. The canons
Of the drawing room are no more strict than
are the rules of the duello on this point. The
idea Is, of course, to avoid bringing about an
actual meeting, yet to be firm IN the demand
for retraction.
After every honorable means Is exhausted,
the principals repair TO the spot agreed upon,
and the correspondence is continued" The
challenge is sent on the field itself in almost
every case, as it was in this one. Then the
seconds are absolute, and remain so until the
fight is over.
DUELING IN THE PAST.
The hold that dualing has taken in the
past upon people otherwise civilized, and
even upon those of recent times, is but little
understood by many of the rising generation.

as well as amusing. The Californian was
challenged and had tho choice Of weapons.
Atlanta, too, had q memorable duel be-
tween Force and Townsend, which was
fought in the Atlanta cemetery.
Ed BRUFFEF, REFoRTER
Mention of Ed Bruffsy, who tracked the re-
cent duelists under the most adverse circum-
stances, should not be omitted from this arti-
Gle. Bruffey Swallowed the party from the
time Capt. jackson left the kimball house,
Friday night, and did not toss sight Of him
until the field was reached. All the ingenui-
ty Of a reporter was brought into play TO
keep up with the dueists, and special engines,
saddle horses, DISCUSSES, etc. were used by the
news gatherer. But Bruffey Is accustomed
TO handle difficult news scoops, and il was
pasti,ne 20 follow the dueling party.
Some Of his other achievements are the
Hawes murder case, 70 accomplish which he
rode 200 miles IN special engine, the Cohen
murder case, the Clayton assassination in
Arkansas, the Rome Ca food ana the
Moore lynching at Macon, Ga, all Of which
