VOL. 1.
The only merit I claim for the fol
lowing narrative is that it is a true
storv. It Isas a moral wR? the end of
it, but I claim nothing on that* as it
is'merely thrown in to carry favor with
the religious element.
A f ur 1 had reported a couple of
years on the Virginia City (Nevada)
Daily Enterprise, they promoted me to
be editor-in-chief—and I lasted just a
wis:k, bv t’i watch. But I made an
uncommonly lively newspaper while I
did last, and when I retired I had a
due/ on my hands, and tliree' horse-
whippings promised me. The latter I
made no attempt to collect; however,
this history c<interut- oqlj the former.
It was the eld "flush times'” of the
jdlver excitement, wheii tUe population
was wonderfully wild and mized;
everybody went armed to the t«eth,
and all sights and insults had to lie
atoned for with the best article of blood
your system could furnish." In the
course of mv editing I mode trouble
with a Mr. Lord, editor of the rival
paper. He flew up about some little
trifle or other that I said about him—
I do not remember now what it was.
I supposed 1 called him a thief, or a
body-snatcher, or an, idiot, or some
thing like that. I was obliged to make
the paper readable, mid I could not
fail in my duty to a whole community
of subscribers merely to save the ag
gregated sentiveness of au individual.
Mr. Lord was offended, and replied
vigorously in Ills paper. Vigorously
means a great deal when it refers to a
personal editorial in a frontier news
paper. Duelling waff all the fashion
among the upper classes in that coun
try, and very' few gentlemen would
throw away nn*»pportuuity of fighting
one. To kill a person'maduei caused
a man to he even more looked up to
than to kill two men in the ordinary
way. Well, *©ht-there, if you abused
a man, and that man did not like it,
you had to call him out and kill him ;
otherwise you would be digraced. So
1 challenged Mr. Lord, and.1 did hope
he would not accept; but I knew per
fectly well that ho did not want to
fight, and so I challenged' Him In the
most violent and implicable manner.
And then I safdpwn abd suffered and
suffered till the answer came. All our
Imys—the editop^ywere in onr office,
“helping” me in the dismal business,
and telling about duels, and discussing
the code with a lot of aged ruffians
who had had experience in such things,
and altogether there was a loving inter
est taken iii the matter, which mode
me unspeakably uncomfortable. The
answer came Mr. Lord declined. Our
boys were fijpoim, Wndi was I on the
told him so. He was not of a disposi
tion to invite confidence of that kind,
so I let the matter rest But it was a
eom fort to see those people look sick,
and see their under-jaws drop, when
Steve made these statements. They
went off and got Lord, and took him
home; and when we got home, half an
hour later, there was a note saying
that Mr. Lord peremptorily declined to
fight 1
It was a narrow escape. We found
out afterwards that Lord hit his mark
thirteen times in eighteen shots. If he
had put those thirteen bullets through
me, it would have narrowed my sphere
of usefulness a good deal—would have
well nigh closed it, in fact, True, they
could have put pegs in the holes, and
used me for a hat-rack ; hut what is
hat-rack to a man who feels he has in

I have written this true incident of
my personal history for one purposry
aiid one purpose only—to warn the
youth of the day against the pernicious
practice of duelling, and to plead with
them to war against it. If the remarks
and suggestions I am making can be
of any service to Sunday school teach
ers, and newspapers interested in the
moral progress of society, they are at
liberty to use them, and I shall even
be grateful to have them widely dis
seminated, so that they may do ns much
good ns possible. I was young and
foolish when I challenged unit gentle
man, and I thought it was very fine
and very grand to be a duellist, and
stand upon the “field of honor.” But-
I am older and more experienced now,
and am inflexibly opposed to the dread
ful custom. I am glad, indeed, to be
enabled to lift up my voice against it.
I think it is a bad, immoral thing. I
think it is every man’s duty to do
everything he can to discourage duel
ling. I always do now ; I discourage
it upon every occasion.
If a man were to challenge mo now
—now that I can fully appreciate the
iniquity of that practice—I would go
to that man, and take him by the hand,
and lead him to a quiet, retired room
—and till him.
About a mile southeast of. Bran
don, Vermont, there is situated a well
forty-one feet deep, the water of which
has the peculiarity of remaining frozen
all the year round. In 1859 the own
er of the property began the usual ex
cavations of water. After passing
through four feet of clay and tea feet
of soil, a bed of frozen gravel, sixteen
feet iu thickness, was encountered,
which rapidly changed into mud when
exposed to heat. Further digging
penetrated another bed of clay, and
finally a layer of clean gravel, in which
water was found. As the . Winter
months approached, Ice began to £orm

lie might split your bullet. Exagger

No subject has arisen on which the
press, and press correspondents have
shown more interest and less l.crmony
than this. There is evidently a strong
feeling—honorable iu itself, and com
mon to all brave and martial people,
such as we of the South have ever
been, that prompts men to loose sight
of the aims and objects they have in
view, in order to honor men whose gal
lantry has honored them. Those who
yield to tliis feeling, are divided be
tween two noble and true men—Gen.
Benning and Gen. Gordon.
There is also a feeling that partakes
in part of gratitude, friendship, fogy-
ism, and tlie fear and timidity of
changes, that prompts many to adhere,
not only to dead issues, but to old party
leaders. They can scarcely be induced
to think, that there is any political
wisdom in this country, outside of Benj.
H. Hill, Alexander H. Stephens,
Hefshcl V. Johnson, and a few others.
We have no quarrel with either of these
classes which reflects upon their fidelity
or patriotism. There is another duss,
numerous already, and rapidly increas
ing, who think the war is ended; that
seven years after the battle, is long
enough to have buried the political
dead -, that sending men into the Senate
to debate dead issues, is a hopeless
business, as well as -that of sending
men there among the Senators of the
North, to represent our interest, whose
claim to the honor, arises from military
achiements against the people of the
North. That it is time to consider
what it costs to keep up sectional strife
and hatred—to honor heroes and old
leaders—what is the teudency and -ul*
timate result of the sectional warfare
that is being waged ujion us; that our
true mission as a people now, is not to
resent wrongs that are without remedy,
nurse wrath that is not only liarmless,
but actual beneficial to onr enemies—
aye, their chief stock iu political trade
—but to promote peace and reconcilia
tion, by devoting our heads, hearts and
hands, to matters of finance, taxation,
revenues, industrial and material im
provement, and equalizing the benefits
and burthens of the government among
all dosses and sections—matters which
tend to a stimulate the sections and
unite them on the basis of mutual in
terest. That it is time for the repre
sentatives of the people to think for
themselves and be not led by passion
or prejudice—but address ourselves to
the great question of the age—and that
is: Not how we became subjugated
and prostrated, and oppressed—but
how the,mi!lions of white people in the
South who are in this condition, shall
ever get up out of the dust, and enter
again on a career of political and ma
terial prosperity and power. The city
of Cuthbert offers a candidate for the
Senate, who belongs to this class, and
openly and boldly publishes his opin
ions aud future policy if elected.

Similar strata. Professor Hager is of
opinion that the phenomenon is due to
glacial remains. The beds of clay
which intercept the sun’s heat and be
sides shed off surface water, together
with favorable ’arrangement of the
•strata in connection with its dip, and
the proximity of the outcropping lime
stone, it is believed, have protected the
frozen mass from thawing for thou
sands of years, while tlie remainder of
the glacier has long sine*'melted away,
leaving only its moraines in the neigh
borhood. Mr. Clarence Sterling, of

spent some time in the investigation of
the subject, proposes next year to carry

THE SORROWS OF A SERENADING
LOVER*
A few nights ago, a gentleman of
Bowling Green, Ky., was going home
at a somewhat late hour, when he heard
in the distance sweet strains of music,
or, at least, what he at first supposed
to be music, but which proved to be,
principally, “straining” and other
dismal sounds that seemed to come
from a bosom racked with anguish or
a stomach overloaded with green fruit, j
Softly he drew near, and, at last, dis
covered whence the sounds proceeded.
A youth, over whoso upper lip the
barber could not have slipped the back
of his razor' blade more than twice,
stood leaning against thegate-post, with
his eves fixed upon a chamber window
in the second story of the house before-
him. In his hands he heldagnitar,
upon which lie picked with the flir <1*
one who is not certain he is on the
right string, while from his parted lips
came the following song:
I have lo-hoTcd tlic-he Zula Zo-liong,
Fo-lior tli-by life was all sn-hang:
Wii-wa has all n che-hcer-fnl smi-ile;
Wu-wa has su-hunshine all the while. ’ •
Here the young man paused to spit
and fill up again with wind, and then
struck into the chorus:
Oh, Zu-hula, monlder-liing-Za-hbla,
Si-hilent is tby silverso-hong? !
Oh, Zu-hula, da-harling Zn liula,
De-hear departed Zu-hula Zong-ong-ong
The singer here took a rest of a few
seconds, looked anxiously dowij the
streqt to sec that no pQlicoihfu ifere in
sight, then, throwing a peculiar plain
tive sound in his voice, he sang:
When the mo-hoon is shi-bi-ning o’er the
la-la-hake, „ .
Oh, the-hen Til think of thec-he-he-thee.
Oh, the-hen, oh-li, thc-hc hen I’ll thi-hi-
hi-ink of thce-ee-ee!
Here the front door being suddenly
opened, a sepulchral voice said, “ Sick
him, Tige!” aud out bounced a dog
about the size of a flour barrel and
with a good set of natural teeth. The
singer turned a back somersault out of
the gate, and with the dog nipping at
liis coat-tail at every jump, disappeared
down toward tho heart of tbe city.
Hereupon, the geutlemau who was a
witness to this serio-comic drama, turn
ed and left the spot, but not until he
had seen a middle-aged man in a single
garment with an abbreviated narrative,
rolliog ovor in the hallway, convulsed
with mirth, and saying, whenever Be
signed to a horrible death, and whom
has friends had already mourned as
dead, was still alive and anxious to be
set free. A screw-driver Was' soon
procured from the undertaker present,
and the coffin lid removed, whpn its
occhpant, instead'of being cold and
dead as he had appeared when last
seen, was found to be once more
alive. n < •
- His friends, who had by this time
recovered courage enough to return to
the grave, were of course almost over
joyed at this strange and unexpected
turn of affairs, aud hastened to rescue
the late deceased from his unpleasant
quartern and remove him to one of the
carriages in waiting, where he was
rolled up in a plentiful supply of
blankets and lap-robes, and the lriendr
who had lately followed him sorrow-
ingly to tlie grave now hastened joy
fully toward their homes. The rescued
man was so overcome on being rescued
from hia perilous position that he was
for a long time unable to speak ; and
what his feelings were while undergo
ing burial, or whether he was conscious
at all or not until the last moment
jrbep Be signified that he was still alive,
is not known.

^ Oue day last week there arrived in
New Orleans a large invoice of c ist r

leading drug houses. In the course of
unloading, the sacks containing tlie
beans were so skillfully operated upon
that by the time they were placed in
position nn the levee some of them
leaked badly, and castor beans were
lying about on the levee in a profusion
that bore strong testimony to the reck

and kerved up without much regard

mands a good deal of lunch for the
smallest possible amount of filthy'

Tfie old lady referred to, having an
eye for the main chance,. no sooner
espied the beans lying about loose,
than it occurred to her that she would
" gather them in” after the fashion of
the old sexton, and by turning them to
her own use, save a considerable sum
in household expense.
No sooner said than done, and
chuckling at her stroke of good luck,
the fair dame conveyed the spoils
homeward, where in a short time she
cooked them to a proper consistency,

Fashionable Women.—There is
a passage in Lord Jeffrey’s Review of
Miss Edgeworth’s “ Tales of a Fash
ionable Life,” in which the great critic
describes with admirable force,! the
miseries of the fashionable. This
wretched hunt after a reputation for
fashion, with its constant heart burn
ings and defeat*, is, he considers, more
productive of real misery, than the
serious calamities of life. !)This may
seem a strong assertion, he adds, but
is his deliberate conviction, and his
statements on this head are strengthen
ed by the opju}oas of one fully as coni-
stent to form just conclusions, Sir
enry Holland. In his recent auto
biographical sketch that celebrated
person states that he has known
pie to be made more absolutely
their anxiety and disappointment in
regard to tickets of administration for!
A1 mack’s balls in London. Speaking
of fashionable women, the London
Lancet has lately had some Very sound
remarks in the same strain. "Fash- -
ion,” it says, "kills more than tbilor
sorrow. Obedience to fiishion is a
greater transgression bf the laws of
woman’s nature, a greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution,
than the hardships of poverty and
neglect,” • -r ■
The slave woman at her task still
lives and grows old, and.sees two or
three generations of her mistress pass
away. The washerwoman, with
s&rcely a ray of hope to cheer her in
her toils, will live to see her fashiona
ble sisters all extinct. The kitchen-
maid .is hearty and strong, when her
lady ha? to be nursed like .a sick baby.
It is a sad truth that fashion-pa&per
ed women are worthless for all good
ends of life ; they have bat little force
of character, and quite as little physic
al energy.- They live for no great
ends. They, are dolls, formed in the
hands of milliners aud servants, to be
fed to order. If they havp childr
servants and nurses do all save to con
ceive and give them birth;'and -wtii
reared, what are they ? What do tin
amount to but weak scions of the old
stock? Who ever heard of a fashion
able woman’s child exhihiting any'.VM'r!
tue and power of mind fonwhieh it be-;
came eminent? Read tbe
of our men and women. r-» None of
them had a fashionable mother. 1
