he cordially received the representative and
gave him some facts about his long life.
Mr.. Rogers, who is now in his 92d year,
began to preach when he was II years old.
He was born at Ardleigh Hall, Essex, one
of 12 children, all carefully educated in the
Calyinlstic creed. The young man studied
for the ministry at Rotterdam College. He
Was ofterward connected with chapels in
various parts of the kingdom; bis most
memorable work being done as co-pastor at
the famous Kings Weigh House Chapel,
and as pastor for no less than sc years Of
ALBANY Chapel. From this latter charge
he retired in 1856 to become the first
theological tutor of the Pastors College.
Hundreds of students passed through Mr..
ROGERS hands, and often they expressed
their heartfelt admiration of him. Ten
wears ago Mr.. Rogers retired to Norwood,
nreacbing occasionally in various chapels in
the locality. The last time he preached was
two wears ago. In his sermons OH that oc-
casion he testified his adherence to that be-
lief with which he had started.
In 1873 Mr.. Rogers celebrated his golden
wedding, and ten wears later Mrs. Rogers
died. To-day Mr.. Rogers has four sons and
two daughters living, and is able to boast of
great grandchildren. He Is very slightly
deaf, and suffers somewhat, as is natural in
a nonogenarian, from deficient circulation,
but his intellect is unclouded.

A HANGToWN DURL.
The Parties Pecked Away at Each Other
Until One Gun Missed Fire.

The Parties Pecked Away at Each Other
Until One Gun Missed Fire.
One of the best story tellers in Congress,
says Frank G. Carpenter,is Senator Sanders,
of Montana. The subject of duels came up
the other night, and he told a number of
warns about the affrays of the Montana min
ing regions. In one Of the dueIs which he
described, the parties fought with revoivers
in trench four ieet wide and six feet deep.
This trench was just 80 feet loug, and the
duelists stood at either end of it and fired at
each other until one of them dropped.
"One of the most remarkable characters
of the Montana mining regions" said Sen
ator Sanders, "was fiddler named Kelley.
He was good-for-n nothing rascal, but popu-
lar oil that account. One night Kelley got
into fuss with an Englishman named
Speare, and he challenged him to fight q
duel. Speare accepted. The affair took
place at Hangtown, but the camp was in
narrow gulch and they could not find
place level enough for the duel.
The terms and weapons were decided upon
and then they marched in procession up the
rayine for about FIVE miles before they could
find level spot. The weapons were revol-
yers, and the understanding was that the
men were to IRE at one another until one or
the other dropped. At the first fire neither
was hit 1t was the same at the second
shot, and at the third Speare's gun failed TO
90 off There were about 500 of
Kelley's Irish friends looking on. They
had come up to see him kill that blanked
Englishman, Speare, but he replied that he
would not shoot u man who couldn't shoot
back, and that ended the duel"

lit up by pair OF bright dark eyes, rather
close together. He was bare-footed, and
clad in the ordinary jeans trousers and
checked shirt, but fine cartridge belt was
round his waist, and fine rifle leaned be-
side him.
While Mr.. B., who was hailed somewhat
enthusiastically by the crowd, talked to-
bacco with couple OF men, listened to a
religious discussion that was going on. in
which Little Johnny maintained, with
vehement and picturesque profanity, that
man never did anything-not the smallest
thing-of his own will and volition, but only
as the creature of Providence; that not only
our ultimate destiny, but every step toward
it. and every deed, good or bad, committed
by the way, is controlled and guided by the
direct hand of God. His opponents were
"Free Will Babtiss'," but they made small
headway against Little Johnny's intense
earnestness and overwhelming personality.

Afterward told Mr.. Bernard about it.
He laughed and said: 81 guess Johnny
thinks he bears about strong evidence OF the
truth of that doctrine IN his own person.
