How Rfrs. spr. .:ue Saw a French Duel.
 Mrs. Katc Chase Spraguo is one of tho few American women who ever had the pleasure of witnessing real duel. One day in Paris sho accompanied French lady of high social position to sec duel in the outskirts of Paris. Two journalists of the bouleyar,ls were the combatants. Of course tho ladies remained in their car riagc. and their presence was unknown to all, save ono of the seconds, who had in- vited and escorted them to the scene of conflict.
 Tor wonder, the duel was not blood less ono. At the first shot ono of tho bel ligeronts was seriously wounded, and as the blood spurtcd tho Frcnchwoman in the carriage screamed and would have be- traycti the presence of the feminine audi enco if Mrs. Spraguo had not clapped her hand over her friends mouth.-Chicago Times Herald.

A CHILDISH PLAID.

Even the little ones are TO do penance
during Lent and they are puzzling their
heads TO find out why. Poor things-it
takes them so long TO adjust themselves
To Sunday. and to settle 1t in their small
heads why all the toys are locked up
on that particular day, and why they
sit next TO mamma in long, straight
backed seat grayely. with hands meekly
folded. and eyes fastened upon the man
who stands in front, dressed in a long
robe, distinguishing continually; and
why, every once in a while they all drop
on the soft velvet kneeling stool and shut
their eyes. or pretend TO. They've heard
mamma tell them why but IL was all
very queer. and they didn't remember
very much about it.
When this unwelcome seventh day had
been somewhat ungraciously Incorporated
into the lives Of the carnal little folks,
a new occasion must needs arise, where
gayety is excluded. For it is now the
proper thing for the fashionable little
miss TO be quite as decorous in keeping
the church festivals as is her mamma.
She is scarcely out of her long clothes
when her religious education begins All
the little social functions are abandoned
in Lent, and she sorrows more truly than
the fond parent. who generally succeeds
In easily controlling herself.
Dancing and evening frocks are laid
away, and nothing but sensible cloth
ones are worn. OF these there is at
present great preference for checks
OF the smaller variety for children-in
very soft and very fine quality. All OF
the heavier goods are reserved for matur-
er folks. The one pictured is in two
shades OF soft brown on the lichen order,
emphasized by deep shoulder collar,
and silk front of rich seal brown. The
crush collar and belt are OF velvet.

THE BIMEIAILIC CONFERENCE.

ginia, gold-bugs as we'll as free-silver

Daniel has been chosen as one of the
commissioners to represent the United
States at the conference which is TO be

Daniel 10 have a good time.
The idea that this conference will adopt
a ratio between gold and silver which
will open the minis OF all the principal
nations of the civilized world to the free
aud unlimited coinage of silver as well as
gold cannot be believed to be at all prob
able by a thol ghtful person who is not
a silver enthusiast.

fect-it will either PROFOUND some practi-
cable plan for the tree coinage OF silver.
or il will upon full hearing, again dis
solve without conclusion and thus admit
the impracticability of solving the prob
lem. We earnestly hope every European
nation worth mentioning will send COM
missioners. and that there may be the
fullest consideration OF the subject. The
case has TO be argued before the Ameri-

the recital OF the names OF respectable
men who. 1t is alleged. have approved
what We assert are discreditable methods.
Not one Of the persons whose names are
called have themselves said the charge
against them is true, and while truth Is
no respecter of persons 1t is due to these
gentlemen to withhold Judgment about
them, in view of the great error the Dis
patch fell into in constituting the instruc-
tons OF the Secretary OF the Common
wealth and the opinion Of the Attorney
General about the transposition OF names
on the Walton ballot. II the Dispatch has
ever yet admitted that there were frauds
at Smither's precinct we do not recall
it,.
1t did say after the complete and con-
elusive exposure by The Times that per-
haps there were irregularities there, or
words to that effect.
No doubt it thought that the true and
lofty spirit of party loyalty required 1t
either to ignore or deny the TRUTH truth
which in our opinion should have been ac-
knowIedged with sorrow and corrected
with speed and without fail. SO far from
doing the Democratic party good. such a
course is inevitably tending TO injure and
perhaps temporarily to overthrow 1t. The
Democratic party may suffer all manner
OF defeats from bad management and the
abandonment of its principles by its lead

could be such a course as the Richmond
Dispatch advocates would annihilate 1t.
The Times is also reproached for saying
that there are good and true Democrats
In Virginia who will not be dragooned by
the terrors Of the name Republicanism 10
vote for a free silver Democrat for
President and we repeat it, We have
heard them say so. 1t is folly to shut our
eyes and ears to these facts. That strong
efforts will be made at the next presi-
Dental election 10 make the issue free
silver or the adherence to gold standard
with possible (but not probable) interna-
tional blmetalism." is abundantly shown
By the agitation now going on among the
free silverites in Congress. 1t is plain,
therefore. that, if possible, large element
now voting with the Democratic party
will use every effort to commit II abso-
lutely to the EXTREMIST free silver policy.
We say if that is done numbers OF per-
sons in Virginia who have always voted
the Democratic ticket will either vote
against the party nominee or not vote at
all. We have seen from the time OF
Hunnicutt and Greeley how staunch DEM
ocrats may be driven from the polls by
presenting to them a false issue or an
un-Democratic nominee. And the same
is true to-day. The part Of wisdom and
of intelligent party loyalty is to put the
party back where it belongs, OH platform

money and TO accomplish this We will
do our best.
