place Of NJ. Bouyard he had Il consid-
erable distance to walk, and by the
time be reached the professors door it
was nearly 8 o'clock in the morning.

'Anatole.'

professor savagely. r

will break it down.
M. Bouvard admitted him, and Ana
tole placed in his hand the momentous
paper. That done, he rushed to the
door of Nicctte's room and cried:
Cousin, get up-dress yourself quick.
ly and come here
A few minutes later Nicette, looking
fresh as dawn, arrived in the drawing
room.
What is the matter?' 49,. &c.
The matter, said M. Bouvard, is
that your cousin is mad p"
Mad? So be it! replied Anatole.
Last night, my dear little cousin, I OBJ.

your hand by NJ. Capdenac, and the
promise of your worthy guardian to
bestow it on the MAN of your choice
the man you love-
DO you really wish me to marry An.

Since love you, cousin
At that moment Anatole felt his heart
beat violently. Was it from pleasure
at the unexpected avowal made by Nj

symptom predicted by the doctor?

taken to release her from the claim OF

But it is impossible cried Nicette.
This doctor must have been mistaken

'Bardals Bardais ! cried Bouyard.
bursting into laughter Listen to what
my newspaper here says: The learned
DR.. Bardais has been suddenly seized
with mental alienation. The madness
with which lie has been stricken Is of a
scientific character. 1t is well known
that he was absorbingly engaged in an
inquiry into the nature of venomous
substances, and latterly he had fallen
into the deluslon that everybody he met
was under the influence of poison and
endangered to persuade them that such
was their condition. He was last night
transported to the Maison de sante of
DR.. Blank

THE FIELD OF HONOR.

Two Young GalIants Fight for Love
and Wounded Pride-OutcOme of the
Encounter.
There was bloody fight such as is not
often witnessed, between two gallants of
this city last night. Twas for wounded
pride and a dear girls love, that they met
in deadly combat, and fought with
fierceness born of mad despair. 1t was
not q quarrel provoked by single not
word. but a spirit of revenge that had
ranked in the bosom of both for many
days. Cody and deliberately did they
go about their arrangements last night,
fond good byes were spoken to loving
mothers and sisters, and under cover of
the dark mantle of night alone and with>
out seconds, they made their way to an
unfrequen' ed spot on Nineteenth street
where the terrible encounter occurred.
No one knows exactly how long it
lasted, the first evidence of the finish be-
ing one of the participants coming down
Second avenue in a disheveled appear
snce, having supposed to have left his
late antagonist either dead or dying on
the bloody battle ground. Several parties
were about to start in search of the body
and while the heat of conflict yet fingered
on the boyish face of the survivor, 10 the
other who was counted as passed away
made his appearance, and they fell on
each others necks and wept for joy.
The hero of the hour who had covered
himself with glory and presperation, later
in the evening signed articles of agree
ment for another encounter that will
probably bring him higher honors in
pugslistic fame.

pointed to make nominations to
I'LL vacancies; that the bylaws
be amended in such respects as
shall add to the efficiency of the organ1za-
tion. The COMMITTEES highly euloRizes the
services of President Beers, and recon-
mends that a salary of $685. 600 per annum
be paid to him during life. The board
adopted resolutions accepting President
Beers resignation with regret, accepting
the recommendation of the committee for
q pension of $25,UOO per annum. and also
authorizing All agreement to secure Beers
services during the remainder of his life il
any advisory capacity upon half pay, $12,-
500, making altogether an annual salary Of
1897, 500, to be paid Mr.. Beers during his life.
