POISONING BY WHOLESALE Last Dueling in England and Scotland. Tho lastnublic duel between Eng lishmen in England occurred in 1845. During the ten previous years Mr. Roe buck ban fought with Mr. Black; Hon. GrantlcyBerkley with Mr. Marin; Lord Castlereagh with M. deMoIey; Marquis of Londonderry with Mr. Henry Grattan; Lord Captain Tuc- kett, and Colonel Fawcett with Lieu tenant Monroe. Five years earlier— 1829—tie Duke of Wellington had challenged and fought the Earl of Winchelsea. This last affair of honor was really the epoch of ducliinj in England. The old Duke never sail aa much—indued,- he always thought lightly dftdmUing but fhaar is little doubt that he regarded his meeting Winchelsea in the field as the most absurd transaction of his life. He had brought in tho “ Roman Catholic Relief Bill.” The Earl of Winchelsea opposed it, and said that the whole thing was done under false pretences, A prodigious correspondence ensued, with the Duke’s writting : “ For this insult, I believe that his Lordship will be anxious to give me reparation.” Now, “ reparation" in duelling par lance is tho same as “ satisfaction,” and it is quite evident that this is what tho old warrior was driving at. The Earl, however, without retracting, con tinued beating the hush until he re ceived a note in these words: “I now call upon your Lordship to give me that satisfaction for your con duct which a gentleman has a right to require, and which a gentleman never refuses to give. I have tho honor, &c., Wellington.” To this the Earl replied : “ The satisfaction which your Grace lias demanded, it is, of course, impos sible for mo to decline. I have the honor to he, “ Winchelsea.” Accordingly, the parties met at Bat tersea I* ields the next morning, the Duke attended by Sir Henry llard- ingc; the Earl by Lord Falmouth. The ground having been measured and the places taken by the principals, nt the word “Fire?” the Duke raised his pistol, but seemed to hesitate, for he saw that tho Earl kept his pistol pointing to the ground, evidently not intending to fire. lie then fired at random. The Earl did not discharge his pistol. Thereupon Lord Fal mouth stepped forward and delivered a memorandum to Sir Henry Har- dinge, expressing tho Earl’s regret, and the parties separated. Upon a subsequent inquiry by a committee of the House, Lord Falmouth stated that the condition on which he consent ed act as second to the Earl was that the latter should not fire at the Duke. This was certainly a very odd arrangement; hut Lord Falmouth w.ent.on to say that “ the Earl of Win- chelsca thought that tho injury he had done the Duke of Wellington was too great for a mere apology, and that he ought to receive his tire.” Was ever infatuation carried further? Nothing can he more significant of the change that forty years have produced in pub lic opinion than that such a man as the Duke of Wellington should have felt it his duty to resort to a duel in vindi cation ofnis character. In Scotland tho duel that proved iLe knell of the departing custom occurred in 1822 between Sir .Alexan der Boswell and James Stuart. The former, a considerable master of irony, had . published a song in the Glasgow Sentinel, containing imputations of cowardice against the latter. He was asked to disavow the authorship, hut would not; to withdraw the imputa tion, but he declined ; and, even after the matter !>ccame serious, to say that he intended no reflection upon Mr. Stuart’s courage, but he persisted in remaining silent. The meeting; there fore, was decided upon. In the car riage, on the way to the ground, Sir Alexander expressed his decided opinion that Air. Stuart could have done nothing else than call him out. He aim declared his intention to fire »tho air, and on getting out of the fringe, he said: •> “ Now, gentlemen, observe it is my fixed resolution to fire in the air.” Mr. Stuart’s feeling seemed to have been equally forbearing. lie said that he had no malice against Sir Alexander, and) before anything took plnce, he fleked tiis second, the Earl of lto- sslyn, if it were not fit that lie should make a bow to his opponent and ex press a wish for reconciliation. The Earl thought it right, and Mr. Stuart advanced toward Sjr Alexander, ap parently for that puipose, but the lat- tcr*s hack wSa Jurned, and ho did not prewive the intention. Mr. Stuart’s conduct, from first to the last, was cool, composed and temperate. The ground was then measured—twelve ong paces.

As we stated on Saturday, the woman in cus tody is now suspected of having poison ed her mother, fifteen children, three The Dur- gave them anything they vomited, and were sick and putged. His sisters had often talked to him both then and since about the suspicious death of the children. On reading the West Auck land poisoning case in the papers, they statca to him that this was the way his children went. One of them hand ed a paper to him and said, “ That is thy Mary Ann that has been doing that,” little thinking at the time that the person accused of the West Auck land poisonings was the very woman they were talking about. Robinson raid she often wanted him to get his life and the lives of the remaining children insured, and one day he founo her at an office trying to effect an in surance. He forbade her doing so, and said he would not pay a penny. This aroused his'suspicion about the children who had died, and he deter- husbands, and one lodger. . ’ cdhntfSmlice have been abfe*r not to have his ■« 1. 1. it * **' TtTP rprltwn / deli ■3R*® hottest elphia Time* The Phila- pf-August. 1870 ® how l ' mt the month bua cdunff^ollce have been ahkrte lay the following particulars before the Home Secretary, with a view to pro cure an order for the exhumation of more bodies to be tested for poison: Mar}’ Ann Cotton, the prisoner, was born in 1832, at Murton Colliery, near Seaham Harbor, and her father, Mich ael Robson, was a sinker at that place, and was killed about twenty-six years ago. The prisoner was then about fourteen years old, and lived at home with her mother at the above-named colliery until she was sixteen years of ago, when she went to live as under nurse in the family of Mr. Edward Potter, colliery viewer at South Het- ton. She remained in this situation about three years, and then she went home to her mother’s house, and serv ed an apprenticeship to the business of a dressmaker. About this time she liecame acquainted with William Mow bray, a laborer residing at Murton Colliery, but a native of Peterborough. They were shortly afterwards married at St. Andrew’s Church, Newcastle-on- Tyne, and left the neighborhood and went to reside at Plymouth, and after wards at various other places in the south of England, then returning to South lletton, after an absence of five years from that part of the country. TIIE FIRST CHILDREN KILLED. On their return the prisoner stated that she had had four children while away, but they had all died. Mow bray obtained employment at South Hetton, as a foreman at the colliery, and remained there several years. On the 24th of .Tune, 18(50, they had a child named Mary Ann, four years of age, which died. Mr. Broadbcnt, surgeon at South lletton, says she died of gastric fever. Shortly after this, Mowbray and the prisoner, with their children, went to live at Hendon. He obtained employment as a fireman on a steam vessel. On the 22d of Sep tember, 1864, a son named John Robert William, about one year old, died; and on the 2d of May, 1865. a daughter, named Mary Jane, died. The two last-named were attended in their illness by Mr. Gammage, sur geon, Sunderland, and he states that they both died of gastric fever. The deceased, William Mobray, and his family, were all insured in the British and Prudential Insurance office, and on the death of her husband the pris oner got $35, and some smaller amounts on the death of the children. SECOND MARRIAGE. She then obtained a situation at the old infirmary at Sunderland, and re mained there about six months, when she became acquainted with an inmate named George Ward. He married her and they went to reside in Gray street, Sunderland, where he died on the 21st of October, 1866, aged thirty- three years. Mr. Gammage attended him, and, although he was an ailing man, lie considered that he dropped off very suddenly. From the death of Ward to the 20th of December it is said the prisoner led a loose life, but she then obtained a situation as house keeper to one James Robinson, a fore man in a ship-building yard at Pallion. In Juno, 1867, lie married her, and they continued to reside together at Pallion. When Robinson married the prisoner he was a widower with five children, and the prisoner had one lit tle girl about nine years of age. She lived with Robinson until the latter part of December, 1867, and during that time there died in his house John Robinson, ten months old, January 4, 1867; Janies Robinson, six vears old, April 7, 1867; Elizabeth Robinson, eight years old, April 13,1867 ; Eliza beth Mowbray, nine years old, May 2, 1867 ; Edward Mowbray, nine years old, May 2, 1867, and Margaret Rob inson, three years old, December, 1867. Mr. Gammage attended E. Mowbray, and he states that she died of gastric fever. Mr. Shaw, surgeon, Deptford, attended the Robinsons, and he states they died of gastric fever. RUINING A HUSBAND. It is stated above that the prisoner lived with Robinson until the latter part of December, 1847. About this time he had found out that she had in volved him in about £60 debt, besides pledging bis clothese and disposing of his household linen and goods. She had also charge of his bank book and build society book, and he also found that she had wasted upward of £50, and entered sums in the building socie ty book which she never paid in. Robinson’s sisters also began to talk about the suspicious deaths of the chil dren, and told him they had been pois oned. Robinson taxed her with her dishonesty, and said what he had heard about the children’s death. After Robinson left the house that day, she dressed herself and took ono of her children, alwut 18 months old, and went out, and he has never seen her since. Sho left the child in the street with a person till she went> to post a letter, dul she never returned, and Robinson did not recover his child for some time, when he found it in a wretched state. He now feels con vinced that his children were poisoned. He suspected so at the time, bnt did not like his mind tQ-dwdl on the sub ject. They were healthy and strong, and only ill a few days before they died. Ho noticed that whenever she THT AND WISDOM. THE THIRD MARRIAi After her father’s death her mother was married to Robert Stott, who is now living at Seaton Colliery. Mrs. Stott, the prisoner’s mother, died the 9th of June, 1866, aged fifty-four years, and was buried at Old Seaham. She died very suddenly after tho pris oner came. She robbed the house of everything she could take away, and Stott stated that he would never allow her to enter the house more. The prisoner, after absconding from the houso of her husband, is found wander ing about Sunderland, Seaham harbor, Tynemouth and Newcastle, until the 7th of July, 1870, when she obtained a situation as housekeeper to Freder ick Cotton, a pitman, residing at Wal- bottle, Northumberland. In October of the same year he married her at St. Andrew’s Church, Newcastle, in the name of Mary Ann Mowbray. When residing at Walbottle a number of fat pigs died, and for some reason or other she was suspected, and the place be- camo so hot that they were obliged to leave it, and they came to reside at West Auckland. At that time the family consisted of herself, Frederick Cotton, her hus band ; Frederick Cotton, her son, nine years; Charles Edward Cotton, step son, six years; Robert Robson Cotton, son, two years or so, who have all died, as well as a lodger named Joseph Nat trass. A CATALOGUE OF ORIJIE. The prisoner herself states that while she was in the South of England she had four children to Mowbray, all of whom died. The other case3 of death were as follows: Mar} - Ann Mowbray, four years, South Hetton, June 24, 1360; John Robert Wm. Mowbray, one year, Hen don, September 22, 1864; William Mowbray, 47 years, Hendon, January 18, 1865 ; Mary Jane Mowbray, four years, Hendon, May 22, 1865 ; Mrs. Stott, mother of the prisoner, 54 years, South Hetton, January 9, 1866; George Ward, 33 years, Sunderland, Oct. 21, 18G6; John Robinson, ten months, l'allion, January 4, 1867; James Robinson, six years, Pallion, April 7, 1872; Elizabeth Robinson, eight years, Pallion, April 13,1867 ; Elizabeth Mowbray, nine years, Pal- lion, May 2, 1866 ; Margaret Robin son, three months, Pallion, December, 1867; Frederick Cotton, 33 years, West Auckland, September 19, 1871; Fred.

West Auckland, April 1, 1872, and Charles Edward Cotton, seven years, West Auckland, July 12, 1872. Traces of poison, it has already been stated, have been found in the bodies of two of the deceased, Charles Edward Cotton and Joseph Nattrass, and the police are now waiting for their instructions before carrying out the order which has already been re ceived for further exhumations.

In reply to this the Paris correspondent of the “ Indepen dence Beige” writes that on the night of the 13th of March, 1814, the 1,500 or 1,600 banners which then hung under the dome of the Invaliedes were taken down and formed into a pile in tho court -yard. The banners, with their lances, surmounted by Ru Prussian and owbray, nine years old, Mav 2, sian » Prussian anil Austrian eagles, ■ ” ■ • ’ were set on fire, anil upon them were thrown other trophies, such as the sword and regal insignia of Frederick tho Great.

Never set yourself up for a musician just because you have got a drum iu your ear; nor believe you are cut out for a school teacher merely because you have a pupil in your eye. A poor but honest young lady, who earns a living by working on hoop skirts, in reply to an inquiry, stated that she had spent tho summer “ at the spring.” Many gentlemen have pockets made in the sleeves of their overcoats, where in a lady may keep her hand warm when walking arm in arm with them. Here is the last witticism from the minstrel hall: “Isay, Billy, Gen. Grant plays a big game of billiards." “ What game does he play, Backus ?” “ Why, he plays the pocket game, of course.” A Boston woman, who has been reading in the papers that Sunday mar riages are illegal, writes to the papers to know how it is with a baby horn on Sunday. If so, which should he pun ished—the father, the mother, or the baby ? “Who was the meekest man, my son ?” said the superintendent of a boy’s Bible class. “ Moses, sir.” “ Very well, my boy; and who was the meekest woman ?” “ Please, sir, there never was no meekest woman.” “ Remember who you are talking to sir,”. said an indignant parent to a facetious boy; “ I am your father, sir!” “ Well, who’s to blame for that?” said tho young impertenent; “taint me.” In one of the suburban schools a teacher gave out the word “ psalter” to a class in spelling. It was a poser to all till it reached the foot of the class, when a curly-hcaded little fellow spelled it correctly, and being asked to define it, shouted out, “More salt.” A good story is told of a college president, who, meeting on the cars a student whose character for sobriety was not good, whose thin appearance evinced a recent dobauch, approached him and solemnly and regretfully said: “Been on a drunk?” “So have I,” was the immediate reply.

But little more than two years ago, on the night of July 13, 1870, another attempt Was made to assassinate Mrs. Turner. On that occasion the would- be-assassin was so dose to Mrs. Turner that the powder from his pistol burned her face. On the 5th of August iff the same year, Mr. Turner was arrested by or der of Governor Holden, by a military force, without any warrant of law whatever, and confined in a loathsome dungeon with a negro felon condemn ed to death. On. tho 24th of March, 1869, a par- , consisting of Joseph W. oldui, Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, various employees and officers of the State government, and others, met Mr. Turner at the depot in Raleigh, and is a body assaulted him. Mr. Turner’s coolness and his pistol saved his life. Only a few nights thereafter an at tempt was made to assassinate him by shooting at him through a window near which he sat writing. This timo Mr. Turner’s life was saved by the change in the direction of the ball, caused by its passage through the pane of glass. The building in which he then was is the same one that was blown up night before last. The court was in session then, not a stone’s throw from the spot, and no step was taken to find out the criminal. The court is in session now, and Judge Watts is again its presiding of ficer. Will he pass this outrage by in silence and in contempt, as ho did that? We shall see what we shall see! A Sad Mishap.—That young man in Harrisburg who went serenading has abandoned nocturnal howling for the present. While he stood uuder her window thrumming his lute and caroling a tender song, she leaned out from the casement in her night-gown. Suddenly he made an effort to strike the high C. The shock startled her so that she lost her balance, fell, turning three or four somersaults to the pave ment, her left foot crashing through the gay troubadour's guitar. The strain of the minstrel suddenly ceased, and he fled away into the darkness, with the impression that the girl’s father in his wrath had either fired a roll of matting at him or thrown out his mother-in4aw with the, intent to destroy two muissnees at one blow. The maiden picked the cat-gut -and Splinters from her toes and went to bed. She anchors herself to the ward robe now whenever she hears music in the street. Legal Notices.

Taken in detail, their liabilities range from $37,879,- 350 to $300,000—New York having the largest, and Iowa the smallest. Louisiana ranks next to New York, $30,244,752. The debt of Massachu setts is only a trifle smaller than that of North Carolina, $29,560,664, and about $3,000 more than that of Penn sylvania, which is $28,656,876. Ala bama is credited with a debt of $25,- 181,967; Missouri, $20,869,000; Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland and Arkausns range from $18,267,500 to $11,200,000. The debt of Ohio is 8500,000 more than that of Maine, $7,212,000, and Florida’s debt is $461- 435 less than Connecticut’s which is $5,769,300. Indiana, Texas and Cal ifornia are between three and four millions each in debt; New Jersey and Rhode Island about the same, $2,500,000. Tho debt of New Hamp shire is $1,068,000; Nevada, $760,- 000; Vermont, $412,000 ; anil Ore gon, $300,277, These are entirely separate from the national debt. Shrewd Reply.—“Now, Jony,” said a venerable lady to her six year old nephew, who was persistently de nying an offense of which she accused him, “ I know you are not telling me the truth; I see it in your eye.” Pull ing down the lower lid of the organ that had so nearly betrayed his want of veracity, Johny exultingly replied, “ You can’t tell anythingabout it aunt; that eye always was a little streakod.” PoorPrinteb.—Enter tho open door, open now and ever more; step briskly on the inside door, and settle with the printer poor.

Onr ac quaintance with heiresses is very slight” and we had no idea they were so dirty. The other day o little boy who, had cut his finger, ran to his mother and cried: “ Tic it up quick, for tho juice is all running out!” The same urchin, on one of the late oppressive hot days, appealed to mother for help, saying: “ Ma, do fix me, for I’m leaking all over.” A lawyer riding through the town of Worcester stopped at a cottage to inquire his way. The lady of the house told him lie must keep on'straght for some time, then turn to the right; but said that she was going to pass the road that he must take, and if he could wait a few moments till she got her horse ready she would show him the way. “ Well,” said he, -*-* bad com pany is better than none; make haste.” After jogging on five or six miles, the gentleman nsked if he had not come to the road he must* take. “ Oh, yes,” she said, “ we have passed it two or three miles back: but I thought bad company was better than none, so I kept you along with me.” A Beautiful Jewess Married Before She Knew* It.—The Paris Sicdc tells a curious story illustrating the evil consequences of arbitrary no tions concerning marriage held by the followers of religious sects in opposi tion to the simple view of the matter taken by the State. The ancient cus- tomes of the Hebrew nation make the reception by a young woman of gift from a young man, tendered with the words, “I consecrate thee to myself with this,” a valid marriage. A young and indigent man, being in want of a rich wife, fixed upon a wealthy young Jewess as a fit person ujion whom to try a stratagem suggested by this cus tom. He introduced himself to the lady as a jeweller in the town, and succeeded in making her choose a bracelet. While paying him she saw that she had not sufficient money, and said so to the pretended jeweler. He instant ly handed her a coin, at the same time pronouncing the sacramental words. The girl immediately threw down the piece, but the rascal had, in the opinion of the bigoted rabbis, acouir- ed sufficient right over her to indnee them to summon her to the synagogue that the affair might be investigated. They finally decided that the condi tions making the gift a marriage had not been fulfilled; but the poor girl fell ill from agitation and anxiety, and died in a few days. Earl Russell and the Irish.— The aged Russell, who has distinguish ed himself as Prime Minister of Eng land, is going to introduce in Parlia ment a scheme for home rule in Ire land. There has been so much schem ing done for Ireland already that it is not unreasonable for people to mis trust the sagacity even of so old a man. It would seem indeed that he has not much faith in the “ scheme” himself, not on account of any defects in it, but want of wisdom, of course, in somebody, not Earl Russell. He says: “ that ho wishes to promote Irish improvement and bring about Irish prosperity, but he fears that ifan Irish Parliament is set up in Ireland her energies will he wasted in conten tion. He, therefore, wisher to divert the forces tending to inflammability. He fears, however, that wisdom will be wanting both in England and Ireland.” Yes, there is the rub. That want of wisdom is alway in the way. Tiiiers to be Made President for Life.—The Paris papers an nounce that when the Assembly re sumes its sittings an effort will be made to make M. Thiers President for life, create an upper chamber, and the of fice of Vice-President; to remodel the Assembly and modify the election laws by restrictions on universal suf frage. It is supposed that this will give stability to tho republic. In view of the man in which Gamhotta’s repub lican ideas are popularly received, and the inflamable material of France, such an effort would likely produce an other revolution. General Grant, who recently sent a courtly letter of congratulation to his cousin of France, no doubt awaits the result of the experiment with deep in tcrest. If Thiers can he President for life, why cannot Grant ? “ The Committee of 70,” of New York, which made so much noise last year, comes forth in its true colors. With flaming professions of reform on its lips, self aggrandisement was always at its heart. It is a mere appendage to the Custom House ring, and has sold itself to that concern on the con dition that its members shall have good fat offices.
