BRICK WOULD NOT FIGHT.
An Interesting Incident in the Life of
 the Russian Mialster

The following interesting story was told the editor of the Republics Out of Town People by James D. Allen, of Texas.
 Clifford Breekinridse, of Arkansas whom President Cleveland has just appointed minister to Russia, onca declined to fight duel on the ground that he was then studying for the Presby terian ministry.
 '"Fhe incident took place over twenty years ago, when Breckinridge was q young man attending Wash ington and Lee University in Vir- ginia. Breckinridge was d leader of one faction of a college literary so- eiety, and his following was con- posed largely of young Kentuckians. The other faction was made up of fiery young Texans, headed by Will Prather, who is now lawyer of Texas. The debates on moment ous questions between these young collegians were carried OH with all the yigor and earnestness of their Southern natures. Sometimes their Southern blood became heated to sizzling degree and satisfaction was demanded at so many paces, with the regulation pistols and coffee
 "One debate in which the two fac tions became nightly wrought up, resulted in young Prather sending challenge to young Breekinridge to fight duel. An elaborate cores pondence was carried on for several days and the situation seemed to be growing quite serious. Every thing pointed to a settlement according to the latest revised rules of the code of honah that obtained in those days. Finally the matter was settled without any young blood be- ing spilled, when young Breekinridss refused to fight a duel, giving sls the reason for his refusal the fact that he was theological student. Opinion seemed to be general that it would he entirely inconsistent for q stndent of Christ's teachings to fight dHch and there the ,,aatter was dropped. Dr..
