Lasso Duel. Among the Cowboy.

From the St. Louis e-Democrat.l
 of the cailow youths who have been hopping around Europe, and throwing the "society" of two continents into spasms of expectancy over their attempts at duelling, would come out into New Mexico awhile and stuky our code duello, they could then get all the satisfaction that their most bloodthirsty partisans could wish," said Carl Brock, of Eddy, N. NJ. 'T refer to the duelling code of the cowboys. When ever two bull -punchers' feel aggrieved one at the other, and fear that the law will at tend to them if they resort to pistols or Winchesters to settle the disputed point of honor, they employ their lassos as fight ing weapons. l have seen only two such duels, and never want to see another. The combatants ride their ponies out on the smooth prairie, each accompanied by @ second, and with the lasso as their only weapon they go at it for business. Mount ed as they are, they circle round the prai- rie at @ cautious distance from each other until one thinks he has his adversary at a slight disadvantage, when he throws his coiled rope to encifcle his enemy's neck. Sometimes it happens that both lassos are thrown at the same instant with equal et- fectiveness, and then. of course, the issue is settled by the ponies. But woe to the unlucky fellow who allows himself to be lassoed without also lsssoing his adversa- ", for it means that he is to be jerked from his steed by the rope and dragged over the prairie at the top speed of his enemy+s horse until he is either choked to death, if it be his neck that is caught, or dies from bruises and broken bones if an arm or leg be caught in the -lasso. But for its frightful brutality the spectacle could be recommended to the lovers of duelling as a novel and thrilling one"

Governor Northen's Witty Piagfar.
Tom tho Atlanta Cons

lFom the Atlanta Constitution Some time ago young man visited Gov. ernor Northen and informed him that the Lord had sent him to demand the stopping of street-car travel on the Sabbath. The governor received him courteously, but in. timated his doubts as to the genuineness of his commission, as the Lord would have known that the executive of the state had no authority to interfere. A distinguished member of the Georgia bar was SO well pleased with Governor Northen's reply
 that he sends the Constitution the follow ing somewhat similar incident in the Tiff. | of Chief-Justice Holt of England: To a band of fanatics called "The Pro phets" Holt had a particular antipathy One of them, named Lacy, had been con. victed and punished for some offence. Holt having, some time after, committed | another of his brotherhood, called John Atkins, to take his trial for seditious Ian | guage, the same Lacy called at the chiei | justice's house, in Bedford Row, and de sired to see him.
 | Servant-My Lord is unwen to-day and
 cannot see company.
 Lacy Gin a very solemn tone)-AcQuain | ysur master that I must see him, for
 bring a message to him from the Lon | God.
 | The chief justice, having ordered Lsc,
 in and demanded his business, was thu
 addressed: '1 come to you 6 prophe
 from the Lord God, who has sent me t.
 thee. and would have thee grant 6 noll'
 prosequi for Johu Atkins, his servant
 whom thou hast sent to prison"
 Holt, c. J.-Thou art a false prophe
 and lying knsve. If the Lord God hac
 sent thee, it would have been to the attor | ney-general, for he knows that it belong
 eth not to the chief justice to grant nolI,
 prosequi. But I, as chief justice, car
 grant & warrant to convict thee to beA
 him company.
 This was immediately done, and botl
 prophets were convicted and punished.

MAKING AND SPENDING,

MI AND The assertion is often made that the
 laborer in this country is better paid than
 the workers in the old world. Facts in l support of this assertion are furnished by Colonel Wright, labor commissioner. In | the cotton industry the average total in come from all sources of those families reported is $657.76 in the United States, $556 IA in Great Britain, $365 94 in France, s302.11 in Germany and s35s 56 in Switzerland. In the woolep industry the average family income is s66S. in the United States, $515. GA in Great Britain, $424.51 in France and s275 99 in Germayn. In glass manufacture the average is SS59 GA in the United States, s501. .69 in Great Britain and $627.65 in Belgium. The average family income in the pig iron industry is s591 81 in the United States, $456.S6 in Great Britain and s374. 53 in England, while in the bar iron industry the average is s7S4.11 for this country, $519 99 among our British kins- folk, $464. "A in France, $2S2.20 in Ger many and $359. 37 in Belgium.
 The expenditures of thess families are greatest in this country, next greatest in Great Britain and least on the Continent The average American family engaged in the cotton industry spends s725S for rent, while the corresponding British family puts out s51.24 for the same pur- pose. The figures for France and Ger many are respectively s34.76 and s27.96. The woolen producers in this country average $90 S7 for rent, while Great Britain's average is $522 Frances $33.25 and Germany's s22.45. The American glass workers pay s1O9.57 for their houses, the British s50.73 and the Belgian s3S. 95. In the matter of amusements and vaca- tions, however, our cotton workers at least are behind their European neighbors. The average yearly expenditure for amusements and vacations in the United States among the cotton workers is but $9.36, while the Briton spends s36.2O, the Frenchman $1602 and the German $19.33. But it should be said that the American glass workers e4pend a greater amount for this purpose than their fellow craftsmen across the sea

A French contemporary says the cures are alarmed at the extent of the exodus, and so are the local bankers and storekeepers.
