A GOTHAM ROMANCE.
The Tragic Story of New York's
Society Library.
How the Transference of a Young Girls
Love Resulted in a Duel and Two
Sad Deaths-A Strange
Meeting.

There is an odd little story connected
with the New York society library,
which, as related by the Mail and Ex-
press, is fully as interesting as the per-
sonality of its patrons. The charter of
the institution was granted in 1772 by
George Ill, and in those days 1t was
place of resort by the fashionable peo-
pie of the town. Some time after the
war had ended a young Englishman
who had been an officer in the British
army and attached to Gen. HOwe's
staff visited the library to while away
an idle hour. He became absorbed in
his book and did not notice that he
was being closely watched by a man
who sat near him. When he arose to
go he was followed to the door and
tapped on the shoulder.
Pardon me, said the stranger, "but
were you not a soldier in his maicStys
army some years ago. and were YOU not
engaged in a haud-tO-haud encounter
with an American whom you left for
dead on the field Of hOnor?"
Il remember the circumstance per-
fectly," was the reply. What do you
know of it?''

reply.
II am aware of that" answered the
other, and can forgive it. but I can
not forgive or forget that you took
from me something more precious than
my arm. You robbed me of my af-
fanced wife"
The story may be briefly told. The
American was engaged to be married
TO beautiful girl the daughter of one
of New YOrk's most prosperous mer-
chants. She was good and true and
the day for the marriage had been set.
One day her lover quarreled with the
Englishman in place of public resort.
The men were strangers to each other.

to meet the next morning at daybreak
on the Jersey shore and fight with
rapiers. The American went home to

usual seriousness aroused her fears and
she begged to know the cause. The
young man, after much entreaty, told
what he was to do on the morrow. The
young woman swOOned, and when she
recovered found that her lover, fear

The Luck Shot of Hunter at a Critical
Moment.

1t is strange fact that the human
hand, eye and nerve are 50 constituted
as to act automatically and correctly at
the proper moment, almost without
conscious effort on the owners part.
The author of Tales of Nomad" gives
an experience that illustrates this in a
most fortunate manner.
We were passing through grass
about two feet in height, with clumps
of low scrub here and there. l was
leading, and my spOorer, kafir named
Jacha, was following me. He had
only one eye, and that eye was keener
to detect game than two pairs of ordi-
nary optics; but on this occasion it
overlooked terrible danger, for the
reason that the danger, though within
few yards of us, was invisible.
There was a rustic in a patch of

The planters say that they

ted the future of the country is
simply despairing. We have put

took to issue an English as well as

The prophecies Of the enemy have
come to naught. The HoLoNUA
to-day enjoy the same patronage
as any other paper in the town,
and We look back with pride and
satisfaction to the work done dur
ing the past year. Having been
a Give" paper, the HoLouUA has
made numerous enemies, but at
the same time the flock Of its
friends has been steadily increa-
sing. The cause Of the poor, the
prosecuted and the weak has
always been the cause Of the Ho-
LoNUA In the past. And in that
line there will be no change in
our policy in the future. We
bespeak on this anniversary the
same patronage and support as
have fallen in our lot during the
past year, and enter in our second
year with confidence and courage.
Everybody thinks that he can

that during the past year, the
editor Of the HoLoMUA has written
