TOMEY'S SHOT.

The terrible delay was too much for
the cowardly ruffian, who suddenly gave
a horse cry, fired his pistol wildly, and
leaped into the grave Williams and the
spectators made a dash for him. The
shot had passed harmlessly over Mat
thews' head, but the crowd was eager to
avenge the treachery which had prompted
1t, The grave was deep, but they got the
poltroon out, n by no gentle means,
either. His second in the meantime. un-
der cover of the confusion, decamped.
Now, you miserable cur" said Will
liaims, when Tomey had been set on his
feet, still quivering and sick from ter
ror, you may take your choice-either-
Mr.. Matthews here shall kill you (as
he has first CALI or l shall do the Job,
as l promised you"
Tomey begged hard for his life, but
Williams was obdurate, and the crowd
even his former friends-were anXious
to attend the funeral at once. Matthews
pleaded for him. He said he was con-
tent to accept the %cringing apology, which
the coward poured out in a torrent, and
let him go. His entreaties finally gained
the day. but not, however, until the spec
tators had ridden the disgraced duellist
around on a rail and kicked him over a
fence, with the injunction to vanish and
never return on pain of death.

IT WAS F~LATTERY.

NJ. Victor Maurel made "a little speech
to his audience in New York the other
day, and after paying his respects to
Herr Wagner and other eminent COM
poserS, he said:
Il have found my American audiences
most sympathetic, composed as they are
of beautiful and charming women"
These soothing phrases fell like balm
of Gilead on the aides who had been
told by the pianist Herman a little be-
fore that he could not play to ~conversa-
ton. We gather from NJ. Maurel's re-
marks that there We're no men in the
audience, or that, if there We're, says
the Chicago Post, they We're not beau
tiful or charming. The quality of SYM
pathy is very desirable: in fact. essen
tial as a stimulant to an artist, and it
seems to have been NJ. Maurel's expert
ence that sympathy and beauty go to-
gether. We do not know how other mu-
sicians. regard this proposition, but we
do remember that when WieniawSki
was in America we heard him say after
a concert one night that he had noticed
in one of the front seats a beautiful
woman with her eyes intently fastened
on his face. And he added: Il fid-del
like re devil" Thus it would seem
that wherever the beautiful woman APP
pears the devil has a part in the subse-
quent proceedings and the sympathetic
quality is not without its attendant dam
gers.
