CRIMEA'S VETERANS.
Their Reunion in Paris Brought Gu
Several Lively CentenarIaus.

Several Lively CentenarIans.
Among the many societies in Paris is
that of the Old Crimeans, founded in 1857
under the auspices of the late Emperor
The society, our correspondent says, met
last evening at LIE Mardelay's restaurant
to celebrate the first assault on the
''mamelon vert," or green earth
work, st Sebastopol. Colonel Aronssohn
presided, and was supported by cente-
marian ex-Sergt. Rose, wearing the Cri-
mean medal, and by another veteran of
100 years old. Rose has also the st. Helena
medal, which was worn by two centena-
rian fellow-diners.
The three veterans live in the country.
Rose came yesterday morning from Sou
sesmes, near Cham bord, accompanied by
a grandson aged fifty, aud a great-g reat
granddaughter. He has been for forty
years widower, Were it not for deaf
ness,he would not, he says, be painfully
aware Of his great age. The people of his
village are proud to have him among
them, and his pension and bit of sandy
land aid to keep him in comfort. He
was wounded at Mayence. The man on
the left of Colonel Aronssohn was the son
of u soldier killed at Jemappes, aud was
himself brought up In the "Eniants de la
Troupe" tie was on guard al Com piegne
when the EmpMss Marie Louise arrived
there from Vienna to be married
One hundred veterans who were in the
'mamefon vert" affair sat down 20 dim
ner. Forty of them were furnished by
the Hotel des Invalides. There were but
small number of officers. Marshal
Caurobert was too i'll to attend.
Col. Aronssohn, in drinking the health
of the three centenarians, said they were
proof that hard lines were as good a
condition as could be for those who had
high hearts and good, generous blood to
keep them warm. He proposed the
health of the President of the Republic
and toasted the Russian nation.-London

POTATOES HIS WEAPONS
A Kentucky Preachers Good Aim
Brought His Antagonist LOW

a kentucky Preacher's Good Aim
Brought His Antagonist Low.
One way of combating an evil practice
Is to make 1t ridiculous. Ii was by this
means that duellng was stopped in cer-
tam district in Kentucky some forty
years ago. At that time travelling
preacher named Bowman, strong, mus
cular man. was conducting a series of re-
hglous meetings in Kentucky. At one of
them well-known desperate character
created a disturbance, and, being pub
Iicly feDuked by Bowman, sent him
challenge to tight.
The preachers first thought was to
treat the matter with silent contempt.
Then he reflected that dueling was all too
common IN that region, and he deter
mined to accept the challenge
AS the challenged party Bowman had
the choice of weapons. He selected a
half bushel of large Irish potatoes. and
stipulated that his opponent must stand
fifteen PAGES distant, and that only one
potato at time should be taken from the
measure.
The desperate was furious, but Bow
man insisted upon his rights as the chal-
lenged man, and threatened to denounce
the fellow as coward it he made fur
ther objections. Seeing no way out of
the scrape, the desperate at last con-
scented.
The contest took place on the outskirts
| OF the town and almost every body in the
place turned out to see the fun. The sec
| onds arranged the two men in position
| by the side of each being half bushei
! measure fllled with good-sized potatoes,
| Bowman threw the first one 1t struck
his opponent in a central spot and fell in
pieces. a shout OF delight went up from
the crowd, which Hurried the desperate.
and his potato flew wide of the mark
| Bowman watched his chance and every
time his opponent stopped for a potato
another one hit him in the side, leaving
wet spot on his clothes and then scat
| terlng on all sides. The fellow was hit
| In this way five times; then the sixth po-
! tato struck him in the short ribs, and he
| lay on the grass doubled up with pain
and groaning enough"
Ihe bystanders went wild with delight,
! but Mr.. Bowman looked very sober. The
! desperate was taken home and put to
! bed, and there he stayed for more than a
week. And when he again appeared he
was greeted with so many jokes that life
was almost a burden to him. That was
the END OF dueling in that region.-Lex-
