A Vlolin-M Maker Fastened to the
Floor with a Centerbit.
One OF the most extr ,ordinary case 8
on record has just come before the
police court OF the Seine, says Cali
gnani's Messenger. In July last u
man named Dubois took room in the
Rue Traversiere, and one of his first
acts was 10 put up swinging lamp.
In order TO fix 1t he began boring a
hole in the ceiling with n centerbit,
and was hard at work when the
concierge and some OF the tenants
rushed into the room and called upon
him TO stop, asserting that he had
pierced the ceiling and impaled the
tenant who occupied the room above.
He went upstairs with them, and
found the tenan in question, violin
maker, sitting fixed to the floor. and
writing in agony.
The instrument was cautiously with
drawn from his flesh. but the injury
inflicted was so serious that he was
confined TO his bed for three months.
The case caused a great deal OF amuse-
ment in court to everyone but the
violin maker, who was only awarded
250 francs compensation for three
months loss OF work, while Dubois
was fined 16 francs for negligence.
That man should have been sitting
on the floor exactly above the spot
where the hole was being bored is
extraordinary. But that his cries
should not have been heard by his tor
mentor is still more remarkable.

CHAMPION HILL.
Two Soldiers Who Wanted TO see
Fair Play.

Two Soldiers Who Wanted to see
Fair Play.
1t was In the midst OF one OF the
hottest fights of the civil war-Cham-
pion Hill We were In the thiclSest OF
the fight and had suffered dreadfully
under the fire of the enemy. whenNsud-
denly there came momentary lull ut
our immediate point in the line. We
had fallen back few steps under the
partial shelter OF a little rise in tho
ground. but were even then only a
few yards removed from the enemy,
so close. IN fact, that but for the noise
of the battle we might have been able
10 converse with them in M ordinary
tone of voice. The confederates had
done exactly as we had. and the move
ment OF both forces had been made very
quickly. In some unaccouutable man
ner man OF each command, a con-
federate and an Eleventh Indiana
soldier, had failed to keep in the
line, and when their comrades fell
back these two soldiers faced each
other. several yards in advance OF their
regiments, and only a dozen yards
apart shall never forget the sight
OF these two soldiers as they stood
there glowering on each other, al
though it was only for an instant they
remained inactive. Their faces were
so begrimed with smoke and powder
that they were scarcely recognizable,
and both fairly painted from the eX-
ertions they had been making. Any
member OF our regiment could have
shot the man in gray had he cared to
do SO. and any man in his regiment
could have killed the gallant young
Yankee where be stood; but there is
where the spirit of fair play came in.
Both sides realized at glance that
the two men stood on an exactly equal
footing. and while not one OF the COM
rades OF either failed to entertain a
wish that his comrade might come
out victor in the duel that was sure to
follow. not one raised gun TO bring
down his foe.
The two men evidently realized and
fully appreciated the situation.
The gun of each was empty. A Con-
federate ran out from their line with
some cartridges in his hand. which he
stuffed into his comrades box, and
/ did the same for our man. and both
of us retreated unmolested. You new
err saw men load more rapidly than
did these ydversaries, for both knew
that the slowest had rammed home
his last charge. 1t was the work Of n
moment only and our boy won. The
Confederate waited to withdraw his
ramrod and this lost him his life. for
the soldier Of the Eleventh never
stopped. Quick rs flash when the
charge went home he raised his mus
