“BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.”
BY JOHN O. SANK.
“Good-bye! good bye !” the driver said,
As the coach went off in a whirl;
And the coachman bowed his handsome
head,
“Be good to yourself—my girl!”
Ah ! many a fond good-bye I’ve heard,
From many an aching heart;
And many a friendly farewell word,
When strangers came to part.
And I've heard a thousand merry quips,
And many a senseless joke,
Aud many a lcrvent prayer from lips
That all a trembling spoke.
And many a bit of good advice
In smooth proverbial phrase;
And inaDy a wish—of litcle price—
For health and happy days.
But musing how the human soul
(What’er the Fates may will)
Still measures by its self-control
Its greatest good or ill.
Of benedictions, 1 protest,
’AI id many a shining pearl,
1 like the merry coachman’s best—
“Be good to yourself—my girl!”
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Letter from Judge Floyd.
Covington, August 26, 1872.
Editors Constitution : I see in
the published proceedings of the con
vention of the Jetiersonian Democ
racy, held in the city of Atlanta, on
the 20th instant, that I was appoint
ed one of the alternate delegates from
the Stale at large, to a convention of
that party, soon to be holden at Lou
isville, Ky. I deem it due to my
fiiends whose partiality couferred
that position upon me, to say that 1
cannot accept it, not because I do
not heartily concur in each and every
principle which that convention has
adopted, nor because I do not sympa
thize with them in the teeling which
prompted to act, but because l be
heve it is too late now to attempt to
organize a straight out Democratic
ticket for President and Vice Pi es •
dent with any hope of success, either
directly or indirectly.
Indeed, I believe it will be diflicult
to find men ot sufficient capacity and
political prominence t> justify tLeir
nomination for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency who would willingly
submit to the chances of deleat in
couise now suggested, and the move
ment would probable result in the
defeat of Mr. Greeley and the re elec
tion of Gen. Grant. I fear that evil
and only evil will be the result.—
Unity, not discord, is what the Stales
of the South want to bring them
back into position and strength in our
Federal relations, and prosperity and
happiness to our people at home
No matter how much personally I
may have disapproved ol the action
of the Ba.tim<>re Convention, I am
not willing now to assist in a move
ment which will inevitably produce
division among us and can do no
good.
For some time past the approach
ing Piesidential election has been re
garded by many good and great men
as likely to affect the perpetuity of
our form of government, either for
good or evil, and in this view the
Democratic party of the United
States was careful to secure the ser
vices of her ablest Statesmen as dele
gates to tbe Baltimore Convention,
that they might take counsel togeth
er. That convention has met and
although my own personal opinions
may have differed (as they certainly
did) widely from the conclusions of
the combined wisdom of that con
vention—yet I am not willing to lay
down across the path which they
have marked out, or do aught that
may hinder their success.

-COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
From the Turin Giustizia, August 2.
Duel between an Italian
Count and an American.
An “affair of honor” was determin
ed yesterday between Count Bene
detto Vincenzo Sella and an Ameri
can named Frederick Brewster. The
latter occupied an important position
in the vs el 1 know n English banking
firm of Messrs. Lloyd &, Co., Piazza
San Marco, Leghorn. Mr. Brewster
arrived at Genoa in tbe autumn of
1859, a hopeless invalid. Gradually
experiencing the wholesome influence
of our climate, he began to contri
bute letters containing news and gos
sip to certain journals in the United
States, and in the beginning of the
next year, his health completely re
stored, ho went to Rome, and paid
assiduous attention to the lectures of
the celebrated astronomer and math
ematician Father Secchi, who then
had charge of tbe ball in which his
favorite studies were conducted in the
Sapienza University. From Koine
Mr. Brewster sent many contributions
to an Irish and Scotch Journal, from
which he derived sufficient remuner
ation to defray essential expenses.
In 1865 he received valuable com
missions from American firms. From
that year until June of last, Mr.
Brewster seemed to transact a lively
trade. Speculation in Sicilian sul
phur and fruit in Messiuna an i l’a
lermo caused him complete and sud
den luin. Soon after lie was readily
received into the house of Loyd i
Co , of Leghorn, where lie remained
up to the fatal event with which his
name will be long and unenviable as
socialed.
THE PROVOCATION.
The Count Benedetto Vincenzo
Seilo was one of the highest and
best branches of the late Duke of
i anna’s family, lie was originally
intended for the clerical profession;
but the gown anil tonsure p;oved too
uninviting for one of Benedetto’s
calibie, and he preferred to confine
his ambit'on to the rank of an officer
in the National Guards. On the
22d till, the Count and Mr. Brewster
iiad an occasional meeting in the sals
of the Leone d’Oro, in Legholn. In
this favorite resort Benedetto and the
American gentleman had formed,
through accidental meetings, a warm
intimacy. It seemed to be the Amer
ican’s pride to acquire the most re
fined knowledge and accent of our
language, as it was the Count’s fail
ing to have an undue reverence for
any persons from distant climates
A lively question arose concerning
the purity of American politics, and
the Count employed most bitter
words denunciatory of the same.
Tbe American demanded, first as a
courtesy, that the broil should be
ended, and the demand failing to be
acquiesced in, Mr. Brewster aimed a
stinging Idow at the Count across the
little table at which they sat. The
Count fell backward for a moment,
then suddenly springing to his feet he
drew bis sword. The mutual fiiends
of the Count and the foreigner im
mediately interfered and exerted their
every effort to reconcile the combat
ants Failing in this they took the
Count into another room and coun
selled Mr. Brewster to retire.
A CHALLENGE GIVEN AND ACCEPTED
Ou the following morning the fol
lowing note was presented to Mr.
Biewster by one of the Count’s foot
men :
Palazzo Sella, July 24,1872.
Sir: You have humiliated me in
the presence of my friends, and 1
cannot live without some effort to
seek revenge. I therefore challenge
you to meet me on the field of honor
on a day which you will name, and
under any circumstances you will
propose.
Bendktto Vincenzo Sella,
Lieut. Fifth Regt National Guard.
Mr. Frederick Brewster.
The American sont the following
yfcrief reply :
15 Plazza San Marco, July 24.
Sir: I will fight with pistols to
day on the Tuscan road.
Feed Brkivsteb.
B. V. Sella, Lieutenant.
Here their friends again interfered,
and resolved that should the affair be
accomplished at all it were better to
do so amid proper surroundings. Tbe
Ist of August was tbe day appointed,
pistols were decided on as the weap
ons to be used, and the distance be
tween the contestants when called
upon to prepare to fire was placed at
fourteen paces.
ON THE FATAL HELD.
The affair was kept iu profound
secrecy by all connected with it, and
the morning of the Ist of August
came and found a party of gentlo
meu taking an unusually early drive
:n two chaises toward tho country.
Having reached tbo little wood of
Brunello they alighted and bade tbe j
coachman to return to Leghorn.
Lieut.-Col. Roualfi, of the Bersaliers,
and Mr. Charles Lloyd, of Leghorn,
were named by Mr. Brewster to act
as his seconds, or ptrvlji. Captain
Lucca and Lieut. Marino, of the Na
tional Guards, stood for the Count. !
The challenge and the reply were
read by Lieut.-Col. Ronolfi and ac
knowledged by the contestants.
Surgeon Parker stood beside Brew
ster, and Dr. Pratt communed with
Benedetto Sella. At five minutes to
8 o’clock the duellists removed their
outside clothes, leaving nothing on
their bodies but light uudersliiits.
At two minutes to 8 a formal salute
passed between them. and, having 1
drawn lots, they took their respective
positions on a level plot of giound.
A handkerchief was tied over the
eyes of each. Turned aside to each
other, the loaded revolvers were giv- j
en to them, and when Capt. Luccv’m :
watch pointed to 8 lie asked :
“Are you ready I”
Two nervous voices sad, “Yes ”
The words “One ! two ! three |
then ushered in tho murder.
THE DEADLY FIGHT.
“Uno!” the pistols are clutched,
and the arms slowly rise in the most
probable dictation of each living tar
get.
“Duo !” and both arms were rigidly
fixed forward. Momenta of terrible
suspense ensue.
“Tie!” and one pistol flashed al
most simultaneously with the utter
ance, of the deadly cue.
A long, pitiful moan followed;
then an ejaculation—“Oh ! my God !”
—then nothing mote.
Bleeding and speechless, tiro hand
some tor.n of Bendento Sella lay
upon the grass. He was shot below
tbe left ear, and the bullet severed
bis jugular vein. A few expression#
of sympathy were exchanged among
the accomplices of the murderer, and
tho cold-blooded criminal himself
seemed to heed less than tbe rest tbe
hopes he had withered, and the no
blc, worthy life lie had snatched away
in its bloom. Wlieie Mr. Brewster
has found shelter we know not, but
we hope that our vigilant police will
one day assist in baviug him brought
to speedy account for the murder of
the generous and maii'v Benedetto of
Sella. We have been informed that
Capt. and Charles Lloyd have been
arrested, to be held as witnesses
against Brewster, the American.

[*2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
A Bridal Couple on the Cars.
Brother Latterly, the editor of the
Lexiugton Gazette, has been riding
on the cars, and observing the aiuor
ous behaviour of a newly inaniel
couple. Such scenes have doubtless
been at various times witnessed by
our leaders [they have by ourselves;]
and they have excited luingltd emo
tions of amusement and nausea. We
do not remember to have seen a more
graphic description of such love pas
sages than that of Brother Latterly,
which we copy herewith for the cu
tcuninment of the public and the
ladies iu particular.
On the Orange road was a newly
married couple. They got on at Ar
rington depot til Amheist[?J They
were biling and cooling every five
minutes, to the infinite disgust of the
female, and the amusement of the
other sex I greatly admired one
favorite posture, lie was at the wiu
dow and she was anxious to sco the
country and leaned across his knees'
to look out. Of course I e wasn’t
going to let her fall out ami be left,
so lie got a good bolt arouud Lor
body and never broke his grip for an
hour, it seemed sometimes like the. |
pressure was about seventy five lbs.
to the square inch, then again be
would slack up. She was “mighty”
’fraid of dropping out of tho window,
even when lie lightened his arm to
tho last notch ; that is, when going
across livois and ugly high banks.
After she had seen the country
euough, they began to whisper to
each other, and after each whisper \
would bite an ear, holding it a little j
w hile and “chawing” like puppies do
your fingers, in fun He would make ■
out sometimes she bit him too hard
and tousle her for it. The tousling
was the best part hf the performance.
She knew she had done wrong in the
auricular matter and ought to be
tousled. Most of tbe men in tho car
thought so, and if she hadn’t submit
tod they were ready to help him in
this act of justice. Several of them
stood up every now and then to be
icady if their services weie needed,
j Some were interested to such an ex
tent iu suppressing with maiked and
j repressive punishment this unlawful
compression of the acoustic oigau
between the incisors of the female,
that they first refreshed themselves
by passing to the ice cooler and
swallowing deep draughts aud then
returning to the neighborhood where
the sutlerer was avenging himself,
keeping their arms iu position for
immediate in case of etncigency.
The vanquished was doomed to sup
poit the head of the conqueror tiil
lie should recover from the fatigue ot
asserting his rights. I could toll you
more.
An Illinois editor sent to another
who had refused to exchange with
him, a paper bearing this inscription:
“Exchange or go to - ■.’* The ed
itor thus addressed, replied : “I will
do neither, for I don’t want your
paper in this world nor your compa
ny in the next.”
