by three men carrying muskets.
John A. Logan jumped toward them
and asked:
What is the matter? Where and

One Of the men replied: There's
a hell Of a fight and the rebels are Civ

Ways of American DuelIsts One Era-
dred Years Ago.
The New York Evening Post of Feb.
1, 1S02-a century ago-contained the
following.
Yesterday morning an affair of hon
or was settled at Hoebuck, between
Mr.. Chandler of Philadelphia and Mr..
Carlisle of Albany. Three shots were
exchanged, and the latter was wounded
in the thigh.
"A secord was terminated at the
same placg between two gentlemen.
The partt liars Of this are vari-
ously RELAXED. We give the follow
ing as the most current, and we be-
lieve the most correct: A challenge
was given about a fortnight since, and
time and place appointed, but no wea-
pons agreed upon. When the chal-
lenger came to the ground he per-
ceived his antagonist (who, it is said,
was a Yankee) there before him, with
two muskets. This, the Yankee in
formed him, was his mode of fighting,
offering him his choice of the guns;
the other declined the musket, as not
a gentleman's weapon. The Yankee
demonstrated that it was placing him
on disadvantageous terms to use pis-
tolls, as he had never fired one in his
life; but if the meeting could be post
poned for a fortnight, so that he might
practice in the meantime, he was con-
tent to use pistols; or his adversary
might take the same time to practice
with the gun, and he would then meet
him with that weapon. The first offer
was acceded to-, and the parties met
yesterday accordingly. Three shots on
each side were exchanged; the Yam
KEGS second fire carried away the
others pocket flap, but his third shot
him through the leshy part of both
thighs; and here the affair ended.
"The third duel took place in New
Jersey about ten days since. The only
particulars which have eome to hand
worth mentioning are hat there were
several spectators who accompanied
the parties to the field, and all Of
whom, together with the two seconds.
climbed the trees, to be thus out Of
harms way while they saw fair play.
But, as one of the gentlemen chose to
terminate the affair by firing his pistol
in the ara thing unforeseen-the
ball passed through the upper limbs Of
the very tree where the second Of his
antagonist had taken his post, and
who was so much alarmed at the whist
ling of the bullet that he fell and broke
his collar bone, which was the only
accident attending the exhibition; hap
PLY no lives were lost"

The fort at Pittsburg was captured
twice-once by C%ontrecoeur and once
by Forbes. It was besieged by In
dams once lin 1853; blown up once
Tin 1859; burned once, and around it
has ragged the fury of civil strife and
great controversies.
1t was the bone of contention of two
of the greatest nations Of modern
times. For possession OF this soil
France and England locked in deadly
embrace, for it was recognized as the
pivotal point for the possession Of the
great and important Ohio river and all
the vast country west of the Allegheny
Mountains. With its fall was shat
tered all the hopes of a French empire
on the Ohio and the Mississippi.
The little building is brick, 6ve-sid-
ed, with two floors. having a squared
oak log with loop holes on each floor.
There were two underground pass
ages, n connecting It with Fort Du-
quesne and the other leading to the
Monongahela river.
The blockhouse continued to be used
for a dwelling until April /, 1894. On
that date the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution took possession.
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1902-04-10

The story of the blockhouse as an
engine of war is interesting at he
present juncture. They seem to have
been first extensively used by the Rus
SLAMS in their long war for the subju-
cation of Caucasia; and the teaching
of that campaign seems to be that they
are a sure but a very slow mode Of
conquest.
The Russians began to build them to
wall in" Sehamyl in 1S49. It was not
until 1859 that that warrior prophet
was walled in and caught. A fresh set
of blockhouses had then to be con
structed to wall in the tribes still in
revolt. This took another five years.
the final surrender not taking place
until 1864.
Over and over again the Circassians
got in among the blockhouses and blew
them up, and they repeatedly am
pushed and cut up the mobile columns
to which they served as a base. In
one ambush in a forest $4,000 men were
killed.
In the end, however, the block
houses triumphed and the population
was deported.

suspected actions of his own mother,
and at a certain moment ran stealthily
to a window, whence he signaled with
4 gesture to his father across the
street. The father came and the kill
ing followed.
1t is known that the elder Ellsworth
distrusted his wife, that he confded
his suspicious to his son, and that the
son summoned his father from his
work. Circumstances indicate that the
aged Mr.. Anderson was shot down in
cold blood, that the wife was mex to
fall before Ellsworth's revolver. and
that the enraged man then killed
himself.
Ellsworth was 45 years old. and a
prosperous mechanic, who conducted a
general repair shop near his residence.
His wife, Alice. was AZ years old, and
prepossessing in appearance. Mr.. An
derson was n years old, of fine ply
sique for of his years, and for
nearly four years had made his home
with the Ellsworths. He was a re-
tired farmer, owning property estimat-
ed to be worth over 500, 900.
The high standing in the commun-
lty OF ali three victims gave to the
tragedy an interest which worked up
a remarkable degree of excitement in
Woodstock. Both of the Ellsworths
were members of the Baptist church
and identified with a number of frater-
nal societies. Mr.. Anderson belonged
to no church, but he was held in re-
spect by all who knew him. His son,
DR.. E. V. Anderson. is a leading physi-
clan of the town,
The killing recalled to the people of
Woodstock the murder and suicide in
which Mr.. Ellsworth's father, e. E.
Ellsworth, figured in May, 1895. The
elder Ellsworth was a wealthy far
mer, residing a few miles from the
village. One day in a fit Of ungovern-
able rage at one of his hired hands,
Phil Weber, he seized a shotgun and
blew the mans brains out. He fol-
lowed this act by hanging himself
from a ladder which leaned against
his barn. There were no witnesses to
this affair.

sidersd a member Of the family" said
q man who for years had been on close
terms Of friendship with all the per-
sons connected with the tragedy. He
used to take Mrs. Ellsworth riding in
his buggy, but 1t always was with the
full knowledge and consent OF her hus-
band. Mr.. Ellsworth, to my knowl-
edge, had even asked Mr.. Anderson to
take his wife riding. On several oc-
casions the old nan took Mrs. Ellis
worth to Crystal Lake, her husband
and son following on their bicycles and
Joining each other at a picnic.
1T is said that a female relative
of Mrs. Ellsworth was responsible for
distrust in the husbands mind, be-
the two women had had a petty
quarrel. I do know that about a
month ago word came to my ears that
Mr.. Ellsworth wal jealous Of his wife
on account of the old man, but it
seemed SO ridiculous that I paid no at
tention and laughed at tne whole
thing"

senator clark as a workor.

How did Senator Clark make his
money! asked a constituent of his
senator in the marble room of the
senate.
Come up to the gallery with me
and will show you" was the reply.
When they had reached the gallery
the Senator pointed to Senator Clark
working at his desk, writing, plotting
and sticking his pen behind his ear
in true clerkship style.
That's the secret. Woodwork, all
day long. That man puts in more
solid hours Of work at his desk in
this body than any of his colleagues,
and carries the weight of more enter
prises than any man who ever had a
seat in the body"

Talking of the shooting, young
Ellsworth said he had concealed
himself in the garnet early in
the morning, reaching there by a short
stairway. He had previously bored a
small hole in the ceiling. through
which he could see into Mr.. Anderson's
room. He saw his mother ente1 tNe
room soon after his father had gode
to his shop, and then, descending the
stairway in his stocking feet. he went
to a room facing the shop and waved
his hand to his father.

wild Dog Plague.

In Northern Patagonia a reward is
offered for the determination of the
dogs that overrun that part of the
world. The ancestors Of these wild
dogs were a pair Of tame collies which
were taken over by a Scotsman
straight from his native heath. The
animals have retained their natural
instinct in connection with sheep, but
instead of guarding them they prefer
killing them; hence. the farmers have
always to be prepared for the sudden
advance at any time Of a strong herd
of the wild creatures hungering for
mutton,

The elderly Ellsworth at once left
the shop, armed with a revolver and
a heavy maohinist's chisel. He wore
a pair of thick felt boots, and his en-
trance to the house and ascent of the
stairs was noiseless. AS he reached
the landing he was joined by his son,
and a moment later began his murder

Mr.. Anderson was fully dressed and

Sacred Nuts of Japan.

Although well known to travellers
and collectors OF curiositles, the horn
nut, or sacred nut" Of Japan was al
most wholly unknown to fruit and nut
dealers in this country prior to 1888,
when New York commission mer-
chant received the first large consign-
ment- They are called sacred nuts"
because used in certain forms of jap
anese worship, where they are placed
on the altar and ign1ted. Being very
rich In oil, they burn with a, hot, BLUSH
fame and give Oft a peculiar odor, the
fumes being supposed to rise as an ac-
ceptable incense to the gods. They
grow under winter and have q leaf like
an American lily, the form of the nut
itself being an almost exact counter
part of an Asian buffaUs head, droop-
ing horns and all. In the raw state
they are hard and tasteiess, but when
cooked the flavor resembles that Of
boiled chestnuts. They are said to re-
tain their edible qualities for upward
Of twenty years.
