drew out pistols and called on Mr.. Arp

not care to have difficulty: in facts
was trying to avoid one. He, however,
took the pistol and walked away across

known as Fifth avenue. then Bridge

johnson fell Arp threw his pistol at
him.
The duel took place about o'clock
in the afternoon in the fall of the year,
Col. Johnson was picked up and carried
TO the Choice house, where he died
about o'clock that night. Arp was
shot in the breast near the right nipple,
and was carried to the old Etowah house.
On the way to the hotel he repeatedly
said that he was killed.
He, however, recovered, as fortu-
nately the bail struck rib and glanced.
Arp afterwards went to Arkansas, where
he was killed by falling off a wagon. l
remember distinctly that at the time
the duel took place Rome was occupied
by the Confederate forces, and could
see groups OF officers congregated
around on the street discussing the.
duel, all of them saying: "What pity
such brave men are shooting at each
other here, instead of shooting at Yam

most of the talking, SAID:

more-newspapers were more the per-
sonal organs of their editors than at
present. The tendency now is to sup
press the personality of the conductor
OF the newspaper; but then the
popularity of the publication de-
pended almost wholly upon that
of Its editor and his ability
as writer. News was matter of sec
ondary consideration. The caustic wit.
no less than the graceful literary style
and the uncompromising political views
of Mr.. Prentice, had won for him rep
utation throughout the country, and in
Louisville and the neighbOring towns
he numbered Dy the thousands friends
and admirers who would have rallied
about him and fought for him at the
dropping of hat. Personalities were
freely INDUCED in in those days, and
many bitter things were said on one
side and the other, often leading to per-
SOnal encounters, in which the man
who was the quickest at the trigger had
decided advantage. No man in the
profession INDUCED more freely in per-
sonaliues than George ID. Prentice. and
no man could put more sting into par
graph-though he had fairly successful

Cornelius O'DOwd. in one of his in
imitable essays. tells us that once upon
a time in the county of Clare a quarrel
occurred in the hunting field between.
two gentlemen whom we will call Capt.
Robins and w. Jones, Esq. Very hot
words passed between them. "Let us
settle the business at once" cried the
captain; ~ have pistols in 1.-THE house."
Nothing BETTER" said the squire Ppm
your man." 1t was at length decided
that they should fight in the stable yard
at fifteen PAGES. each man to hold Ian
tern as mark for his opponent. ''Where
are you. you Scoundrel?" cried the cap
tain, when they came out into the yard.
Pm here. you shoeblack," replied the
squire. "Stand out bold" said the cap
tam. Its what Pm doing" said the
other. "Give the word and no more talk
ing" "Get behind the pump, yer honor,
get behind the pump before you fire."
whispered the groom, pulling the cap
tain by the coat. He did so and when
they blaZed it was the squire who got it
and it was more than three months be-
fore he could get out again. AprOpOS
of this duel i'll the dark there Is beau
tiful but pathetic anecdUte of two men,
the one ''kind man" and the other
''timid man." who, finding themselves
unhaDpilv bound to fight, chose the
darkroom dnel. The kind man" had
to fire first and, not wishing to hurt his
adversary, CROPPED his way to the CHM
ney-piece, and placing the muzzle of his
pistol straight up the chimney pulled
the trigger, when, to his CONSERVATION,
with frightful yell down came his adj
versary, the "timid man," who had
selected that fatal hiding place.
| How prevalent dueling was in Ireland
may be gathered from the fact that men
of the highest dignity and most re-
sponsible position were ready to eat ire
| and taste steel. The lord chancellor,
Lord Claire. fought the master OF the
rolls, Curran. The chief iustic, Lord
ClonmeT, fought Lord Tyrawley and
two others. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Isaac Corey, fought Henry
| Grattan. The provost of Trinity col
lege, Henry Hutchinson, fought the
| master in chancery, Mr.. Doyle. O'Con-
nell fought and killed NJ. d'Esterre,
the champion of the Dublin corpora
ton, and. as Darlington says, the duel
WAS fatal to the champion of Protest
ant ascendancy." These are not the
only eminent Irishmen who fought
| duels, for Sir Jonah Darlington states
| that during his "grand climateric" 227
memorable and official duels had been
| fought. He tells of one man who had
| fought 10 less than sixteen duels, and

harder part of the company work.
The company fund of ready money
amounted. at times when the writer had
charge of it, to several hundreds of dol

an exceptional company. The result OF
such a state of affairs was the crafty
ing fact that only one man had deserted
from the company in years, while ali
the time there were dozens of appllca-
tons from men in other companies to
be transferred to this one whenever
vacancy occurred in it. It's an actual
fact that the men had better food and
greater variety of it than any officers at
the different posts where it was sta

it is doubtful whether any men or the
same class in the country were half as
comfortable and happy as those same
men in that cavalry company.

this regiment, stationed at Marsellles,
the captain of one of the troops was a
notorious bully. He took special
delight in torturing the youngest
of his lieutenants. brigm,
laughter-loving lad, who was the
delight of his regiment-officers and
men. One day after mess the captain
grossly insulted the boy, and fol-
lowed it up by calling him liar

viously shown his courage in Algiers.
and his comrades could not understand
why he should tolerate such continued
insults. They followed him to his quar-,
tiers and told him that if he did not call
out his enemy he would have to go to
Coventry. The young officer explained
that he had strong religious scruples
about dueling, and conld not conScien-
tiously go out. Finally the colonel OF
the regiment sent him the alternative
either fight or leave the service. The
boy then agreed, OH condition that the
fight should take place with pistols ana

ons was to be loaded and the other UNI
loaded. They were to be chosen by lot.
The men stood up, each holding the
edge of handkerchief. At the signal
the captain pulled the trigger, when it
was found that he held the unloaded
pistol
All eyes we're now fixed. upon the

spectators were confident that as ne

would either discharge his pistol i'll the
air OF not shoot at all. But not so. He
took deliberate aim, and, placing the
muzzle of his pistol as near the other
mans face as he could reach. blew his
brains out. Then leaning over the
PROSTATE form of his enemy he.dipped q
handkerchief in the blood and smeared
the face With it. Then, with eXnltatioh.
he turned to those in the fell and said;

evening sent in his resignation. he
shortly afterwards retired TO a convent

incident there has not been so much
bullying and dueling in any regiment

exciseman TO his knees. Then, how

man time to recover his legs he might
have to stand two shots, he bolted as
fast as his legs would carry him, fol-
lowed by his second, who cursed him
for a coward. Sure it's better to be a

FREAKS OF NATURE.

Some of Them Which Physicians
Have an Opportunity to See in
Their Practice.
1--WE doctors have a much better OPP
portunity than most people for study
ing human nature" said physician
to a Washington Star reporter the other
day. "Most patients do not consider it
necessary to put on airs before their
medical attendants. One thing that has
often struck ME is the disregard which
young folks generally have for the old.
| don't mean they are not courteous to
them, for courtesy to ones elders is a
matter of ordinary education; but when
it comes to REALLY caring for them they
are lacking, as rule.
Zone is shocked to read of the man.
ner in which savage tribes all over the
world leave the old people to die neg
1ected, even depriving them of shelter
because they are no longer useful.
Even in civilized countries the same
thing is often done. Go to Savoy and
you find that the aged and infrm are
put out to beg on the public highways.
1t is commonly said that the love of the
child for the parentis much less strong,
even among the most enlightened peo-
piles, than the affection of the parent
for the child. There is reason for
this, which philosophers find in natur-
al law. The love of the parent for the
child is necessary to the perpetuation
of the race, for which nature makes
provision beyond all things else; but,
on the other hand, there is no such rea-
son of necessity 1Or care taking ON the
part of the child in behalf of the parent.
80 am not surprised to find in my
practice ever so many Instances where
old people are neglected by their chill
dr9n, who are apt to regard them as a
burden, considering often that they
would be very much better out Of the
world anyway. Another thing, even
more remarkable, that notice is that
cOnjugal affection is very apt not to
survive long illness. If the wife is an
invalid, the husband sometimes be-
comes Indifferent to her after while.
Or, if the husband is sickly, the wife
finds it burdenSOme. In either case the
we'll partner to the matrimonial bar
gain becomes, though uncOnsciOusly,
resentful of the inyalidism of the other,
and in many cases seeks distractions
outside of the home.
ION the other hand, there are men

of taking care OF invalid wives or huS-
bands. l have known man to marry
three times, and on each occasion to

quently of women who marry drunkards
for the purpose of reforming them.
Their impulse may be similar one,
arising from the desire to act the part
at once of wife and rescuer."
