COL. c0DY,s HOBBY.

Colonel w. f. Cody, Buffalo Bill"
has u hobby, and it is located in the
Big Horn Basin in Wyoming. The
Colonel is now in Washington, and in
speaking of the settlement the other

used to scout over this country. which
was then Il barren waste. Now it IS

DUKE OF ORLEANS
ASKED TO FIGHT
His Challenge to a Duel Recalls His
Visit. to Riehm,nd a Few
Year Ago.
Year Ago

The Duke of Orleans, whose visit to
Richmond some years ago with his father,
the Count of Paris, is we'll remembered,
is about to be challenged TO dSnt d duel.
The affair naturally creates much inter-
est in this city.
y press dispatch from Brussels says:

in Brussels Saturday morning. TO meet NJ

THE DUKE IN RICHMOND.
On the occasion of the Counts visit to
Richmond he spent several days mere Wis
iting the battledelds which had been
familiar to him in his younger days. The
Duke saw more of the city and less
of the battIetields than his father.
While coming up James River with
his father a. boat he met
two nde-haired Richmond girls. The
young Duke was much struck with their
good looks, and he secured an intro
duction to them. That night he ordered q
carriage, and with a young man who
lived in Richmond. they went out TO call
on the young ladies and took them up
town to dinner.
The grave and dignified Count of Paris,
thinking that nothing but royalty was
good enough to receive calls from his
son, a real live Duke. got much wrought
up over the affair, and called at his
sons apartments at a late hour that night
and told him in plain words what he
thought of the whole episode.
The newspapers published long and In
| teresting stories about the Dukes move
ments, and the prominent headlines quick

who soon left the city.

then turned the envelope inside out,

The Hartford Times calls attention to
the fact that many readers Of Janice
Meredith gain the impression that Cen
eral Charles Lee was Virginian. and
some even think he was the father OF
General Robert E. Lee. Charles Lee was
an Englishman, and though he resided
for time in Virginia, he was not OF
the family of Henry Lee, the father OF
our famous General. In fact. Charles
can hardly be looked on as credit to
the illustrious name of Lee.
The London Spectator, in highly COM
mandatory article upon Chief Justice
Marshall as "a Great American Judge,
says in closing:
And Englishmen may also revere
Marshalrs memory, for he helped to Sc
cure the essential unity of the race by
preserving a common legal standpoint.
II was Marshall who authoritatively lald
down that the common law of England
is part of the law OF the United States.
But this means that in all law Hot
covered by positive enactment ana on
all matters of general principle, the SUI
preme law is the same in the unlteo
States as in England. That is 1act
