ISpscial Correspondence Of The INDEPENDENT.
NEW York, April 24.-lt was when ou'
fair countrywom Marie Van Zandt, was
turning the heads of all the Parisians.
Among those who were bewitohed by her
beauty was a young American, living
abroad, who seemed to meet with some
favor in the singers eyes, until he was cut
out by q Frenchman who. to put 1t very
mildly. had a decided facial blemish. To
be Tilted was an insult o easily to be
borne, but to be Tilted for a one-syed man
was an insult only to be washed out in
bl-l-l-ood-da, and the young American chal-
lenged and was promptly accepted.
The SPOT chosen for the duel was a Sc
cluded forest nook near Gree, Department
Seine ct Marine, where q jolly lot OF artists,
friends of both parties, and including many
Americans, were then sketching, and some
thing like three dozen of these set out to
accompany the fighters to tho field of honor.
1t was a novelty to most of them n they
were in very high spirits as they walked
along in the early dawn. Presently, how
ever, they heard the thunderous approach
of a whole squadron of cavalry, and before
they had thought of getting out of the way

They were taken to the nearest village
and arraigned, and the trial adjourned to
the next day. The judge, the principal
innkeeper and the xensd'armes were not 60
ing to miss such an opportunity to pluck
the criminals. They we're remanded to the
custody of the officers, who took them to
the hotel. Here they were allowed to drink
wine or play billiards 'for the good of the
house, bat not to leave it, lest they should

they had paid heavy bills for their

ON the foor-and had turned over in fines
to the Judge the few francs they had left,
they. were allowed to depart. Everybody
was we'll satisfied. The judge, the inn
keeper and the officers had something to
divide, the duelists proved their courage
and III spectators had an adventure to tell
of and fat sketch books to show.
Tell You the ehallenger's name? Ger
tainly not. He is Living in New York to
d&y. and I doubt whether his beautiful
youik wife has ever heard of the duel, or
would 80 much as guess his connection with
it, if she should see this account.

Cresus ia Rome.


One Of our New York Croesi, who loves to
pose as a patron of art, was in Rome last
year, and ordered from one of the first of
Roman painters H certain picture, which in
due time was ready for inspection. It was a
mastery sketch of n Of the o1-carts
which are seen on the Campagna, with its
the level plain.
Very good oxen, very good oxen,
indeed" said Croesus, with a knowing air;
picture. want you to paint into it the
Alban hills, a piece of the old aqueduot and
a railroad train running across the Cam
paena. with plenty of smoke"
Shut it will spoil it, said the painter,
aghast, and yet" he added, seeing no sign
of relentiug, st you are to take it to
America 1 will do as you say"
Croesus has that picture up own in New
York now, and is fond of explaining to his
friends how his liberal criticism of it's first
condition enabled the artist to improve
upon it.

SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS.

While the people of St. Paul are re-
hecting on what they want. let them not
forget what they have. They have the
brightest skies and the balmest air of
all the cities in the Union. They have
a lower death rate than any place of
similar size in the world. They have
the best water. the best paved streets,
and the most perfect system of drain
age that could be desired or required.
They have a city where people
are let alone in their peaceful pleas
ures, and where police espionage and
interference are at the minimum, and
yet where it is safe to walk the stree S
at any hOur of day OF night without fear
Of moleStatiOn, and where the criminal
calendar in the courts is so light term
by term that the lawyers would starve
to death if they depended on this branch
Of the profession for a living. They
have city where the communication
between one section and another is sat
isfactory beyond criticism, and where
people can ride from the remotest sub
urb to the heart of the city for the
smallest fare in comfort with the great
est rapidity. When the people of st.
Paul are inclined TO be discontented
with the spot in which their lot is east,
let them think about such things as
these and be thankful

FIND NO FAULT IN HIM.

THE Rockford Christ, which is trans
lated in German SCIIWEINFURTH, had
about dropped out of public view, but
the Illinois legislature has been trying
of late to turn the batteries it manu-
factures upon the little heaven in the
wales Of Rock river. The member of
the legislature who has this alleged in
carnation of divinity as a constituent
and neighbor, fancied that he could dis
tinguish himself by 'getting a move"
on where the grand jury made an 1g
noble failure. He introduced bill de-
signed to cover the case and bring the
false Christ to retribution, but 1t col
llded with the state constitution and
came to grief. That instrument is spe-
cially strong and explicit III giving full
scope to everything claimed to involve
religious sentiment or the conscience.
There can be no inquiry as to heresies
or impositi0nS as long as there are no
immoral practices and infractions Of
legal elements. Theu large commit
tee of legislators and moral experts was
sent to the Rockford Heaven, rot like
the angel that drops in at unexpected
They were given reception so hOspita-
bly, sweet and allowed to bask il the an
gelic radiance, so that their coming re-
port, as 1t is foreshadowed, Will allege
that they can find no fault. They were
fed heavenly mamma and listenedfto ser
mons and songs that provoked no ruff
fieS in their religious SenSibilities, Such
legislative committees usually find in
Stitutions and public places visited in
admirable condition and their hospital
ity unbounded. 1t was one of the
ludicrouS freaks of the legislative mind,
to make this visit with the expectation
that evidences of sinful practices would
be afforded them. The laws of that or
any other state are sufficient if there is
evidence to be had of illegal or debasing
practices. That addle-pated people are
deluded by an impostor and make fools
of themselves unobtrusively, is nothing
to the legislature. This is right con-
served by the constitution. The visitors
no doubt saw number of small children
that are alleged not to have had an
earthly father. The mothers so insist.
They so testified under oath before a
Rockford jury some time since. No
testimony has been adduced at any
time that SCHwEINFURTH violates the
moral or civil codes. He is apparently
an expert hypnotist, and controls the
minds and speech of the score or more
of women about him. Possibly it will
be found that even the legislators came
under the magic spell. There is no
present indication that Rockford will
soon be relieved of its annoyance by any
legal methods.
