BOSTON, Sept. 7.-Capt. William X.
Andrews, of the dory Mermaid, relates
in his log his trials and dangers and ex-
perlences of the lust few days of his
ocean voyage, before he was picked up
by the steamer Elbruz. He was in a

ing the heavy seas, followed by sharks,
and cold, wet and hungry.

poets Of general business and farming

that Immediately after the Barring fail

than the crops of former year. In all
parts of the South farmers are roD0rtcd
as less III debt than for years, many re-
ports saying that their indebtedness is
smaller than at any time since the war
due, in part, to the enforced economy
on account OF the monetary strinyency
since last fall, and in part to the larre
crops OF the last few years.
The low price Of cotton in the sprinu

NO DANGER OF A DUEL.
RnleiEh People RldIcuIe the Idea OF
Col. Polk EiShtinE

Col. FOLK tiEhtinE.
RALEIGH, n. c.. Sept. 3.-During he
last week dispatches have been sent out
from this city by correspondents a
number Of Northern dailies about Il rro-
| posed duel between Col. l.. l.. Polk,
president Of the National Farmers a ILL.,
ance, and the editors Of the News and
observer, on account of the ScOrch,ng
articles which are appearing in that pa
per from day to day attacking the yer
sonal and political history and anibi-
tions of Polk. There is not the rem0t
est probability Of duel, however, and
the reports were read with much amuse-
inent by those who know the alliance
president best and who have never re-
garded him rs a "hghting character"
The IDEA of his sending challenge TO
any one caused many Il smile among
his acQuaintanceS hereabouts.
Hon. II. II. Jcrnigan, one Of the edi.
tors OF the News and Observer, when
asked about tho matter today, express
ed surprise at the reports sont out, and
that he did not anticipate q "challen,s,,"
from Col. Polk. and certainly was not
losing any sleep thinking over the pIos-
poets of being shot. Mr.. Jernigan is a
man of very quiet manners, but of nm
doubted courage, and if President Polk
Is "spilin' for fight he will undoubted
ly he accommodated if he makes appli-
cation to that gentleman. But It. Is not
believed by those who are familiar with
the Colonel's fighting qualities thai it
VIII be found necessary to keep him in
timated to prevent his "spilin'," and
SO there Is no prospect of Il duel.
WHAT TIE COLONEL SAYS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-l'residcnt
Polk Of the Farmers Alliance returned
to Washington today, without having
passed through the dangers of duel
with North Carolina editor. Mr.Polk
SAID toa Star reporter today: 81 do not
think any one is thinking of fighting a
duel. The whole story is the invention
0f very sensational reporter. | have
received dispatches and letters from all
over the country begging me to show
my moral courage by refusing to fight
duel. Some Of the letters have come
from Vermont. If amy one wants To
light duel with me have not been in
formed OF 1T. The thing is Il lot of
noneSrnse"
Speaking OF the Alliance, Mr.. Polk
SAID that 1T was growing stronger all
the while, and the man who lost sight
OF II for three days was left away in the
rear. The Alliance is getting no set
back. If any of the old parties come
out and takes stand squarley on The
Alliance platform, he says, that party
VIII get the Alliance, but every mem
Der of the Alliance will fight any and
alt parties opposed to them. This is
their platform without reservation.

NO LONGER LITERARY LADIES
They Sensibly Resolve to Call Themselves
Writing Women.

Ihey Sens1Dly Resolve TO Gall themselves
Writing Women.
London Letter.
Talking of ladies', reminds me that at the
literary ladies' dinner, which took place at the
Criterion on the 25th, the title "Literary
Ladies" was strongly objected to by the ma
jority of those present, and so for the future
they are to be known as 'Writing Women"
which instantly prompted male wag to say
that 'writing women were wronging men,
which was more smart than true. There was
quite large gathering of lady journalists
mean women journaists-and authoresses,
including Mr.. Louise Chandler Moulton, Mrs.
Pennell, Mrs. Meade (who was the president),
Mrs. Frank Leslie, Mrs. Mona Card, Mrs.
Humphreys, Miss Alice Corkran, Miss Gra-
ham Thompson (the charming poetess), Miss
Eyeretta Lawrence (the literary actress) and
Mrs. Crawford. Many were the speeches, and
Mrs. Chandler Moulton was ''glad to see that
women could appear to be enjoying them
selves so thoroughly, could look so pretty, and
be so prettily dressed at gathering that in
cluded no member of the masculine SEX"
The menu was excellent, and the champagne
was appropriately sweet. A box of cigarettes
was sent by well-known publisher, but only
three ladies availed themselves of the priv
lege to indulge in the soothing weed.
