 He did not do so, however, but, throwing his pistol to Mir. Sinclair, ap- preached me and extended his hand
 'Mr. Morton" said he, "as 1t was. who challenged you to this meeting, I would say nothing to interrupt the duel; but now that you have had your shot, will say could not bring my self to shoot at the man who had done me such an invaluable service as to save the life of my beloved daughter"
 "Your daughterT said I, in astonish- ment.
 "Yes," said he; "it was my daughter whose life you saved yesterday, so to- day I withheld my fire on that account. Besides, apologize for my rude words of yesterday morning, and admit I was wrong in using them. For preserving my beloved child, thank you from nay heart, and she herself will thank you in person ere long,"
 AsI write these lines now, a familiar form hangs over my chair, and, looking up, I see the same sweet countenance I beheld in the carriage on the eve of the duel on the Chicago Journal.

The ruin of a prehistoric city has been discovered in Arkansas and is only one of several such discoveries in this country. It is difficult to under stand the failure of our archaeologists to work this field of research. Our great colleges organize expeditions for the excavation of Thebes and other buried cities of the east and pass by the re- mains of an ancient civilization in their own country. 4 little research of the ancient relics in Mexico, Central America and Peru has been accom- plished, but there remains a great field in various parts of the United States. Some day the explorer of ancient American cities will connect his name with one of these buried cities as did pr. Schlieman with ancient Troy There is a great opportunity for some American college to achieve a reputa- ton in connection with explorations which shall tell us the story of civil ization concerning which we now know nothing.

Many an unfortunate has been bridged over the gulf of total starva- tion by the machinery of chattel-mort- gage banks. If the question of abol- ishing the pawnshop were put to vote, the masses would rise up in a body against such action, says Everywhere. The great objection to pawnshops has always been that which is liable to at tend any enterprise and spoil nine tenths of the good 1t does: the inordi- nate greed of man. Brokers belittle the value of property brought them, loan just as little money on them as they can manage to do, and then charge from five to ten per cent. a month, or from sixty to hundred per cent. a year, for money that is worth only from a tenth to a sixteenth of such interest. It is gratifying to know that public pawnshops are being es- tablished in some of the large cities, owned by responsible business men, and conducted on humane princi- ples The interest charged Is generally not more than one per cent a month, or twelve year; and the dividends to be paid limited to six per cent. on capi- tai invested-the remainder of the profits to be used in adding to the capi- tai and hence the usefulness of the in- gtitutiOn

Washington was not surprised at the cession of the Spanish islands. to Ger many. The American peace commits sioners at Paris offered to purchase one of the Caroline islands on account of its strategic value and adaptability as a station for the projected Pacific cable. The Spanish commissioners re- fused to make the cession, partly on ac- count of their resentment and partly because they knew that Germany's CO., lonial ambitions would lead her to make a high bid for the whole of the group, as well as for the Ladrones and Palaos. Our Government did not see fit to insist, and the treaty of peace having been concluded, we are no long CT entitled to have a voice in the mat ter. The United States did not expect to be consulted. Germany is friendly nation, and her territorial interest in the Chinese Empire renders it expedi- ent for her to secure points of support in the Pacific. She would unquestion- ably have preferred the Suiu group or an important island of the Philippine archipelago, but these are under United States sovereignty, and whatever Con- gress and the majority of the people may decide with regard to their ulti- mate status, 1t is not likely that surren- der to a European power as property will be the solution of the problem.
