piled that II was satisfactory. When |
returned to the table the Colonel leaned
over snd told me he expected me to act
as his second. Next morning bright
and early we assembled at a spot prevl-
Ously determined upon, the rifles we're
loaded, the distance measured and the
men stood ready for the word. The sun
was rising over the hilltop, and its rays
struck Gel. Caste in the face, placing
him at a disadvantage. Col. Metcalf
coOlly pointed to him and said to his
second: Get that man out OF the sun;
/ don't want to murder him.
'One-two-tkree,' the command was
given, and both men fired. Casto's aim
was uncertain, aud the bullet missed its
mark, while Caste fell mortally wound
ed, and died shortly aiterward. drlfted
away from the Colonel's command dur
ing the war, and met him but once,
down in Georgia. At the close OF the
war he engaged in business In Cincin-
natl, aud about a year latter died sud-
denly in a chair, at his hotel"
An ingenious Wheeling man has hit
upon a happy plan for saving money In
having his clock cleaned. He works In
a factory, and the particles OF dust
gather on the works OF the clock, neces-
stating cleaning then about twice a
year. Some time ago he decided
10 boil the works In a
kettle OF water. When all the
dirt was removed, he placed the inter-
nal mec hanism Of the clock in hot
oven to dry. He declared that the ex-
pertinent was decided success, and
recommends it 10 others.
There is certainly great deal OF
solid comfort in a nice mild cigar" said
we'll known lover of the weed, "but
the chief charm lies in the sight OF the
smoke as it curls up from your mouth.
There is no pleasure in smoking cigar
In the dark. Have you ever noticed it?
Unless you see the smoke you don't re-
alize that the cigar is lighted, Try it
some time when you are passing
through a railroad tunnel"
There is a young man In Bellaire who
will, In the future, Ii Is thought, post
himself more thoroughly In regard to
Washington ladies before he attempts
to tlirt with them. He came out from
Pittsburg on the 9:O1 p. N. train on the
b. & o. road one night last week. When
he boarded the car at PittSbuTg there
were but two seats not altogether filed.
One OF these seats was occupied by
boy while the other was alongside lady
from Washington who is noted for her
beauty as we'll as her modest demeanor.
AS might naturally be expected, the
Young man was anxious to take sest
by the side of the lady, and the latter
could not we'll refuse his request to &C.
cupy IL. Almost as soon as he was
seated the young man commenced TO
make himself agreeable, but in way
which made him obnoxious to his I'M
willing companion. He told her his
history, which OF course was a rosy one.
When Washington station was called
out, the lady commenced gathering up
her satchel and a number Of parcels,
the young man gathered up an armful
and requested the privilege OF assisting
her 20 the platform, which request was
reluctantly granted. As the couple went
through the car the young man whis-
pered in an audible tone to several
Wheeling young men that he had made
mash" and for them TO look out the
window and watch him take his leave Of
the lady. As the two stepped to the
platform the Ohio man asked his com
panion's name. Just then stalwart
aud athletic looking man stepped up
and with glad exclamation the lady
turned TO her escort and said; my
husband will give you the desired in
formation" Without another word she
turned and was soon out Of sight, fol-
lowed by the mystified husband. The
young man from Bellaire-well, his
Wheeling friends who were looking out
the windows gave loud shout aud the
former, as the train moved out, went
into the baggage car, where, IL was af-
forwards learned, be succeeded in per-
suading the baggage man to let him re-
main until Wheeling was reached.
