Captain William Rule, a Tepub- lican and former officer in the Un- ion army, who for more than haif a century edited a newspaper il the democratic South, first attract ed nationwide attention in 1873, when he refused to fight duel, characterizing such method of settling disputes as "heathenish and "cowardly."
 Shortly after his newspaper had published criticism of two institutions of which Major Moses J. Wicks. of Memphis, Tenn. was the head, Captain Rule received an order to retract his statements. This he refused to do, but advised the major the collimns of his paper were open to any statements Wicks might care to make
 Whereupon Major Wicks wrote Captain Rule, asking him to meet him at Dalton. Ga. Instead of do- ing this, the editor on date named in the note for the meet ing published in his paper letter he had Sent to the major. This step generally is believed to have had great influence in discredit- ing duelling in the South.

To-day in
Washington History
BY DONALD 4. CRAIG.

August 10. IS58.-~Another riot oc-
CURED on the streets Of washington
this afternoon. II was the result of the
rowdyiSm that has been prevalent
among a certain class of persons here
for some time.
A delegation Of officers and guests of
the Northern Liberties Fire Company
went in an omnibus and carriages from
the engine house to the railroad depot
TO welcome the president and a delega-
ton of members of the Northern Lib
erty Hose Company Of Philadelphia,
who came to present a goodwill greet
ing and some valuable presents to this
fire company of Washington. Alder
men Brown. Smith and Mohun and
several reporters were III the receiving
party.
Upon the return of the party from
the railroad depot man was seen run
ming after the coach. He was armed
with a pistol and his motions indicated
that he intended 70 fire on the passen~
gers The Northern Liberties men,
hers, fearing for the safety of their
guests. got out 10 prevent trouble.
The number of the purSuers Of the
coach had meantime increased. AS
soon as the men got out Of the coach
pistol was fired-aimed at Mr. Curtis,
the vice president of the Northern Lib
critics Fire Company, who had quickly
jumped behind a tree box into which
the ball entered,
A general street fight ensued. Sew
eral persons were severely cut in the
encounter, but none was dangerously
wounded
A number of youths ran to the
Northern Liberties Engine House and
got a swivel gun. which had been used
in firing Salutes, and dragged It TO the
scene of the riot. But Vice President
Curtis, anxious to prevent blOo6shed
upset the swivel and turned 1t over to
the police 1t was subsequently re-
turned to the fire company.
The row was not OF lengthy dura-
ton, but it was sufficient TO make an
other blotch upon the reputation Of the
persons who have always been leaders
in this sort Of rioting and to add an
other injury TO the many already in
fiicted by the "vagabonds" upon the
city The assault upon quiet and in
offensive citizens was declared To have
been entirely unprovoked. 1t is under
stood that arrests will soon be made by
the police
The scene at the Northern Liberties
Engine House yesterday afternoon dur
ing the presentation Of the gifts from
Philadelphia was graced by the pres
ence Of many lgdies and prominent in

Have YOU ever watched blind person
reading raised letters with the ringer
tips? You surely have observed a blind
man finding his way by tapping cane
on the sidewalk as he goes. Both seem
marvellous performances to you because
you are so dependent on your eyes TO
guide all that you do from morning 70
night. from dressing and eating and
walking and playing and reading and
writing and performing at your job
You would be helpless in the dark.
Whatever you do, you need light and
eyes to see by.
So the notion was natural that the
blind have senses which the seeing
lack and that their finger tips and
muscles and ears acquire new sense
organs of vastly superior powers. From
time to time. since psychology became
laboratory science, blind people have
been put TO the test, and the general
result is that their senses are Substan-
TALLY like those of the seeing. Nature
doesn't make up for lost eyes by better
finger tips and ears. but art does. It's
a question Of a finer use OF the same
organs
AS to tests. the simplest is to tell
whether two points close together feel
to the finger tips as two or do they
|
/ coarse in one half (about 9 teeth to
the inch) and fine in the other half
(about Is to the inch); place the coarse
half on your forearm and you can't feel
the separate teeth on the palm they
feel somewhat separate; on the finger
TIPS perfectly so Take the fine part
and place it on the finger tips and you
can barely feel the teeth as points, but
on the tip of the tongue they are quite
clear. Your tongue Is finer feeling in
strument than your finger tips, your
finger tips than the palm, your palm
than the back of the hand or the fore
arm
Now, will the blind do better in these
tests? Not appreciably, not more than
is due to practice, and the preferred
raised print for the blind is not in the
form Of our letters but of arrangements
of dots to represent letters called
''Braille" after the INVENTOR. BY a
simple device the blind can make these
