DEcADENcE OF DuELINa.
"A Custom Confined to Journalists and
Politicians.

"A Custom Confined to Journalists and
Politicians.
There are three questions to be asked
about every custom. IN what place
has it Prevailed, at what date, and in
v"irh class? There is the custom of
tnie--as:c, for example, once prevalent
but now extinct in England, still sur
viving in France and elsewhere, but
especially in France. If you ask the
third question: I'm which class?" Won
find that dueling occurs more frequent
ly among journalists and politicians,
more rarely among officers. Lawyers
do not often fight; the duel very seldom
happens in the commercial classes.
while among peasants, clergymen and
professors it never happens at all. The
custom is not national in the sense of
being general in the nation, it is a class
custom only, and chiefly localized in
Paris.
II from the custom you go to the
opinion about its moral value you find
widespread disapprobation, Joined to
feeling that in certain cases it is in
evitable. and that it is salutary as a
discipline in courage. Present English
opinion looks upon dueling with con-
tempt but this is quite modern opin-
ion, due in part to the notion that it is
French. If we ask what moral guild
ance is to be had from custom and opin-
ion in regard to dueling, the answer
must be that such guidance can have
no positive character, that it is not uni
versal but local, and that even in the
town where dueling most prevails the
opinion that imposes 1t is nothing but
a class opinion. Nor is there any reason
for assuming that the duel, even in the
classes which now practice it, will be a
permanent institution. 1t now usually
stops at the first wound, however
slight, which is sign of decadence,
and it may become extinct in a hun.

Sore disappointment of n Hunter Who
Missed an Ibex.
The ibeX is of light-brown color,
the males being rather darker than the
females; but the oldest males undergo
a complete change in appearance, be-
coming light gray, with clearly-de-
fined black shoulder stripe, which
gives them very smart appearance.
1t is sight to stir the heart of hunter
to see such one summing himself on
some tower of rock, and, by way of
morning exercise, bending his head to
the ground and driving his sword-lil5e
black horns into some bush, of which
he ''makes hay" in about two minutes.
L only once got a chance at one of
these grand old "billies," and that
muddled. We had taken refuge from a
sharp shower in cave, or rather shelf
on the cliff, protected by long over
hanging rock. The rain drifted in, and
Celestin carried my rifle to one end
where it was more sheltered. We
made fire at the other end, and were
sitting over it, when, with a fixed stare,
Omar pointed with his finger over my
shoulder There, about hundred
yards OIL, was splendid male ibeX
such as l have described, with black
horns which curved back nearly to his
tail. There are not more than two or
three like that on the mountain He
was quite unsuspicious, and calmly
moving down the mountain, on account
of the bad weather, l suppose.
Risking discovery, l crept to the
place where my rife lay. Two trees
grew across that end of the opening,
and | could not shoot from there. Back
l crawled and sat down for the shot.
He was slowly stalking down the rocks,
but still within easy range. 1 leveled
my piece, but at that moment a gust of
wind blew the flame and smoke across
my line of sight, and could see moth
ing. The next instant he was round
rock and gone. l nearly turned sick
with desperation. Of course, we fol-
lowed and tried to find him again-an
all but hopeless task in the complica-
tions of this hill In the course of the
search we got wet through, and in try
ing to dry my coat over the fire Celes-
tin burned the back of it, my best
''go-to-meeting" one, as it happened
but would give twenty coats to hare

HONOR IN AN ORGAN GRINDER.

One of Them Pays Debt Two Weeks
Old and Delights Juvenile Audience.
One does not look for very much SEN
timent or very high sense of honor in
the organ grinder. He is dark, rag
ged, lazy fellow as rule, who only
misses the classification of tramp by
Juggling about with him from morning
till night load every whit as heavy as
u hod of bricks could be. He is enough
more bitterly despised than is the Jew,
and whether monkey relieves his ex-
lie or he wanders alone, he is voted a
nuisance by the adults, though he is
permitted to remain at large because
the children appreciate him. He has
been banished from many of the richer
districts of the city; but out in the sub
urbs he is a welcome visitor
Rockwell street boasts one of these
patient beggars whose ancestors may
have shouted in triumph in Traian's
train. He was trudging home one
evening when he came to rather good
neighborhood and set down his dreary
old organ for final serenade. A dozen
children gathered about him, as they
always do. and he began to play when
larger boy came out of one of the
houses and asked him to stop, as a little
girl lay sick within and the music
troubled her.
One little fellow had already given up
five cents, the last he had in his bank,
and he wanted to get the worth of it.
The Italian was ready and willing to
play, but he could not play here, and

allow them to go away from home at
that time of the evening.
"Well, you come around when Nellie
gets well and play us five tunes," said
the little fellow who had advanced the
price of a concert.
"Alla right, said the grinder, and he
shouldered his load and trudged away.
Older people laughed at the credulous
lad, and were sure he would never see
his money again or ever receive it's
worth in music.
But one evening, about two weeks
afterward, here came Marco Just about
the same time of day, and asked in his
uncouth fashion if the little girl was
''wella now" She wasn't well, but she
was very much better, and the little
fellow, who had put up the money,
went with the others to see if the noise
of the barrel organ would annoy her.
Marco strengthened them with the
statement that he had sold his organ
and would not be around again Nell
lies parents thought she could listen
without injury, and the wheezy ma
chine started up for the last time in
Marcos hands the same old repertory.
He went clear over the entire five, and
then played the first one through again
to give them good measure, took up the
curious box that all of them coveted
and bade them goodnight. The next
day new man had Marcos organ.

AN UGLY ANTAGONIST.
The Terrible Experience of Two Hunte
with II Leopard.

The Terrible Experience of Two Hunters
with II Leopard.
A wounded leopard is an ugly antag-
onist, as two unfortunate African farm
ers recently found They were return
ing from hunt, when they reused a
leopard in mountain ravine, and i'm
mediately gave chase. The leopard at
first endeavored to escape by Chamber
ing up precipice; but the hunters
pressed hard upon him and wounded
him by mushet ball.
Frantic with rage the animal turned
and sprung upon the nearest man. He
fastened upon the hunters shoulder
with his teeth and tore open cheek
with his claws.
The other hunter, seeing his COM
rade's danger, ran up and attem pied to
shoot the brute through the head, but
missed his aim. While he stood few
feet away reloading his gun, the mad
dened brute abandoned his first victim
and darted upon hunter number two.
So fierce and sudden was the beasts
onset that the man had no time to act
IN defense. He managed to get out his
hunting knife, but before he could use
it the leopard struck him over the head
with his paw, the sharp claws tearing
the scalp and leaving it hanging over
the mans eyes.
The hunter grappled with the beast,
which fought with tooth and claw, and
they rolled together down a steep de-
clivity. Before the farmer who had
been first attacked could start to his
feet and seize his gun, they had rolled
to the foot of the hank. AS speedily as
possible he reloaded his gun and rushed
forward to save the life of his friend.
He was too late. The man was dead
His comrade had only the satisfaction
of completing the destruction of the
beast, which was already dying from
the wounds it had received. d.-~Youth's
