Hubbard Brothers. Phila delphia. publishers. The author iu this volume has presented some very humorous pen pictures of scenes at Saratoga. In preparing the material for it Miss Hoiley went to Saratoga and spent an entire season, with eyes and cars open, and with brain and ]*'neil vigorously at work. She went in her famous assumed role of Josiah Alien’s wife, her imaginary Josiali at her side, with his characteristic blunders, fau-rixis. and quick, boylike en tliusias m. As Samantha Allen. Miss Holley is observant, unsophisticated, outspoken, and sound to the core on every question of propriety. Such a couple in the whirl of Saratoga would certainly develop many remarkable situations and utter many funny comments. It is here the hu mor of the book arises. Plain, back country, village life, and gay, artificial Saratoga life are so wide apart, that each side becomes ludicrous to the other. These ludicrous, laugh-provoking contrasts are the dominant features of Miss Holley's book. To these mirth-making presenta tions of the author the artist’s pencil has addetl a rich entertainment. Over a 100 drawings have been made especially to illus trate the text by Frederick Opper, the lead ing artist of Puck. Burt Wilder, too, has done a share in embellishing this attractive book. These artists make their pictures talk, and between the text and the talk of the pictures the reader looks and laughs and laughs and looks again. MAGAZINES.

German University Duels Described by One who had been in 27 of Them. M om the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Several days ago a gentleman was seen in the corridors of the Southern Hotel who at tracted the attention of all who chanced to lie in that favorite gathering place at the time. He was a tall, broad-shouldered young man of from 20 to 23 years of age, with an erect bearing that unmistablv in dicated a military training and a style of dress that betraved a foreign origin. But the peculiarity that attracted attention was that bis face was seamed and furrowed by a multiplicity of scars running iu all direc tions—some mere lines, others deep gashes, and others unsightly ridges of flesh. *4. Globe-Democrat, reporter engaged him in incidental conversation as he watched a game of billiards lietween two local exjiorts, and after exchanging a few common-places ventured to question him concerning the origin of the scars that caused his otherwise handsome face to resemble a railroad may of a thickly settled portion of the country. “I find that my face has attracted more attention siuco 1 came to this country than I ever supposed it would,” was the reply, “and if I had realized the amount of curi osity my appearance would excite I doubt if I would have had the courage to cross the oceon But it cannot, be helped now, and I have no objection to explaining the cause of the cuts and scars you see on my face To begin with, my name is Bernhard Nah macher, and 1 am a native of the city of Halle, in Prussia. At 1!* years of age I en tered the University of Leipzig, and at once joined the Corps Thuringia. If a German student desires to have any standing among his fellows, be must belong to one of the fighting corps. In their ranks are to be fouud nearly all the young men of good fam ily, and those not members of one or another of these organizations are classed together under the title of savages, and are regarded as beneath contempt, and considered even lower than the despised Philister, or trades man of the town. Not caring to occupy this position, I joined a corps, and the scars I bear on my face are the result of twenty seven duels in which I was engaged during my university career.” “In order to give you an idea of a German ‘numsur,’ or duelling meeting, I may as well describe what occurred the first time 1 was an active participant. One Saturday after noon in the autumn of 1885, in company with a number of my corps brothers, I went to a small village in the neighborhood of Leipzig for the purpose of fighting my first duel. On entering the tavern that, was chosen as the scene of combat I found the large room thronged with some 200 students, representing the various corps of the univer sity. The young men, distinguished by the colors of their caps and the ribbons they wore across their breasts, were moving about and conversing with each other on terms of the grestest cordiality. Here was a blue capped Susatian talking with a red-capped Thuringian, there the green cap of a West phalian was seen among a group of Saxons, while the yellow and white caps occasion ally noticed proved that a few of the Suab iaus from Heidelberg and the Hanoverians from Goettingen were among the crowd. There were to be a number of duel.: during the day, and as I entered tne first combat ants were being prepared for the fray. This is an operation that consumes a good deal of time. “An attendant first slipped over the right arm of the duellist a silk sleeve, thickly wadded with cotton. Over this, from the wrist to the shoulder, strips of silk were wound, until the arm assumed the propor tions of a robust leg. A heavy fencing glove was next assumed, a thick leather pad fastened over the heart, and a similar one beneath the armpit. A silk cravat, stiffened with the bloody that had flowed from the wounds of previous combatants, was then wound around the neck, and the eyes were protected by a pair of heavy goggles. The ‘pauckhosen,’ or fighting trousers, were next donned, these being made of leather, heavily wadded, extending from the chest to the knee and back, with the clotted blood of hundreds of fights. The swords, or ‘schlae gers,’ were then handed to the antagonists, heavy blades about three feet in length,with blunt point, and for some eighteen inches along each edge as keen as a razor. The bandaged arm and the heavy sword were supported by friends, as to sustain weight would fatigue the duellists, who in a few moments would need all their strength for attack and defense. The point of attack is the head and fat*, all other parts of the body being protected by tho armor I have described. “The opponents advanced to the centre of the room, each with his second at his left side. The seconds were armed with basket hilted swords, with which they struck up the blades of their principals upon the cry of ‘Halt!’ The students crowded around in great excitement, as the antagonists were both famous swordsmen, whose comparative skill had long been a theme of warm discus sion throughout the university. Klarus, senior, or president of the Westphalians, was reputed to be the best swordsmen in Leipzig, and had been victorious in a score of encounters. He was a tall, graceful fel low, noted for the great rapidity of his blows, aud his wonderful quickness of eye, while Heinemann, senior of Saxons, was less known in Leipzig, but had come from Halle with a great reputation, and had been con sidered almost invincible in that fighting university. Heineman was some four inches shorter than Klarus, but of immense breadth of chest and strength of limb, and was known to possess a wrist of almost unpar alleled strength and suppleness. The en counter had Been looked forward to with great interest, as decisive of who was en titled to pre-eminence among the Leipzig swordsmen. “The antagonists faced each other, the umpire gave the word and in a second the keen blades were flashing through the air, falling heavily on the bandaged arms that protected the head, clanging against the iron guards of the swords, or meeting iu midair with a loud clash. The blows came like lightning, but so quick was the parry on each side that for several minutes neither was touched. At length the Westphalian’s second cried ‘Halt!’ the blades were struck up, pnd the arms were caught anti supported by the attendants. A stream of blood was seen trickling through the Saxon’s hair, which gradually spread over his face and dyed his shirt a bright crimson. Klarus, by one of his famous strokes, in turn had reached completely over his opponent’s guard and cut a gash some tw o inches long m his scalp. The doctor glanced at it, pro nounced it not serious, the umpire guve the word, and again the fight, went on. As the combatants grew heated they became more eager to strike and less careful to guard, and soon the face of each was masked by the flowing blood, which clotted about their nock-clothf' and stiffened on their shirts. Both had many wounds, but the quickness of the Westphalian had proved too much for the Baxon. who was bleeding in a dozen places, and soon would be obliged to give up the contest, unless by Rome great effort be could regain the ground he had lost. His pride was aroused to the highest pitch, his eyes fairly blazed through the heavy spec tacles, unil I could see the muscles of his legs contract as he nerved himself for a great effort. “He rose on his toe* and aimed a blow at the top of his antagonist’s head. Klarus raised nis blade to ward it, when in an in stant the direction of the stroke was changed by a dexterous turn of the wrist, and in stead of striking in tierce the Haxon’s blade in quatre came full upon the unprotected cheek of bis opponent, laying it open from tempt) to the chin, and fairly rattling against his teeth, two of which ware struck out by the force of the blow, The swords were at once struck up, Klarus led off for surgery, and Heinemann declared the vlctpr after tne fiercest fight that had taken place for years. The victor) w i; a costly one, as the victor was bleeding from no less than seventeen cuts, the scars of which he will carry to the grave. But he regarded them with indiffer ence. oa he now susxi forth as the first swordsman in Leipzig, and the fame of the encounter and or the dexterous stroke by which the victory had been won spread til rough the corps of all German universi ties, and made Heinomann famous. “Seven or eight duels were fought on the same day, in one of which 1 figured, and got this scar on my check. But they all seemed very flat alter the battle royal that preceded them, and there was very little interest manifested. I have been present at hundreds of duels since, and fought a score of times mvself, but never again did I sec such a mag nificent fight as that which occurred on tho day I firet stood ‘on the mensur.’ ” MR LEMAROFF GROWS SAD Because His Daughters Wanted Hus bands and Consulted a Seer From the Sew York Times. While the air vibrated yesterday with the sound of Williamsburg's many steam whistles, announcing that the day’s labor was done, a dilapidated vehicle, drawn by a decrepit old horse, halted in front of a still more forlorn and care-worn tenement on North Second sti'eet, a few blocks from the East river. A few over-ripe bananas, nest ling among some seared and wilted leaves in the bottom of the wagon, indicated that the owner was a fruit vendor. Sigismuud Lem aroff—that was his name—climbed labori ously down from his seat and gazed at his outfit for a few moments. There was a look of disappointment in his eyes and a general air of despondency all over him. At last his surcharged feelings broke restraint in the despairing wail: “Nopody and notings is no goat.” “What’s the matter, Lemaroffl” asked a bystander. Lemaroff explained that he had just re turned from police headquarters, where ho had gone to inquire about the developments in the search for the two men who last spring robbed his two daughters of 8">0u. They had nothing new to toll him, and only said, “Wait.” The story of the robbery is peculiar. The daughters, Irma and AneK, 17 umi 14 years old respectively, wanted to got married. Next door to them lived an old crone named Carlotta Oraciosa, who had the reputation of being a soothsayer. To her the girls con fided the secret longing of their hearts, ami for the consideration of $1 apiece she agreed to provide them with wealthy and handsome husbands. Securing their tintypes she folded them in envelopes and told the girls to drop them in the post office without ad dresses, and the fates would deliver them to their future husbands. A short time after that two young men passed Lemaroff’s house several times and flirted with the girls. Next day Irma re ceived a letter signed “Julius Devereaux” and Anek another signed “Jack.” Each epistle contained protestations of love, and set forth the great wealth of the writers. The letters concluded by proposing that the sisters dress up in the nest clothing and jewelry they had, get hold of all the money they could, and come over to New York as soon as possible and get married. Now', the girls by thrift and bard work in a cordage factory had saved up SSOO between them, which was deposited in the Williams burg bank, On June 11 they drew this money, donned their finest" attire, and slipped away to New York. They were to meet their intended husbands at Boulevard and Union avenue. Two young men drove up in a double-seated buggy at the appointed hour aud picked up the girls. The party then drove to a house somewhere in the lower portion of the citp, but just where the girls do not know. A marriage service was hurriedly performed in oue of the upper rooms of this house by a man who claimed to be a minister. The two couples then went to a hotel at High Bridge and took supper together. About 8 o’clock the men said it was time to go home. Instead of doing so, however, the young men drove down Tenth avenue to One Hundred and Sixty-fifth street, where they turned off the road into a vacant lot. The girls became frightened and began to scream, but they were choked into silence and robbed of their money and jewelry. They were then put out of the buggy, and the young men drove rapidly away toward the city. It was after 9 o’clock the next morning before they got home. The girls were afraid to tell their parents what liad happened, so they said they had staid with a friend all night. Old Carlotta, the seer, threatened to paralyze the girls’ tongues if they said a word about the affair, and prom ised to reward their silence by getting their money back. The story might never have been found out at all had not Lemaroff accidentally dis covered on Aug. 23, that the girls’ money had been drawn from the bank, His daugh ters then confessed to him, and he went out to seek advice. When he returned the girls were not at home and he was told they had gone next door to see old Carlotta. He fol lowed at once, but found the room vacant. Carlotta had disappeared, and she has not been seen since. Lemaroff then reported the case to the police. The secret of Lemaroff’s disgust yesterday is that he always receives the same answer, “No news yet,” every time he goes to police headquarters. The police system of New York is rapidly losing favor with Lemaroff, and even a harsh and painful suspicion of the veracity of his own daughters is begin ning to take root and thrive upon the doubts that harrass his uneasy mind. John Wesley’s Spectacles. From the Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette. J. Walton Fields, a compositor living in Lawrenceville, has at present in his posses sion a relic that is a very venerable one. be ing no less than a pair of spectacles worn by John AVesley, the founder of Methodism. They were made a present to Mr. Fields, who is quite a curiosity seeker, by Walter M. Moorhouse, another compositor, who got them from his father, who was a local Methodist minister in England. The spec tacles came into his (Mr. M.’s father) possession from an old farmer, who was a staunch Methodist and whose father had handed them down to him, and were se cured in the first place by John Wesley, who, during one or his religious pilgrimages through England, had stopi*sl at this farm er’s house over night, and in tho morning left, forgetting his spectacles. Tho glasses themselves are very peculiar looking. They are very large-sized and the frame is of iron, the glasses being set in them very much the same as a light of glass set in a widow at present, only, instead of using putt yto hold them in their places, lione or a piece of horn is used. The glass is in perfect state of preservation and any one can readily see through them, young as well as old. A peculiar fact in connection with them is that Mr. Fields also received at the same time a small photograph, token from a large painting of “John Wesley at His Mother’s Grave.” The inscription on the tombstone is so small that it is impossi ble to read it with the naked eye. The writer placed the antiquated-looking spec tacles on and the inscription was easily read. There is no doubt as to the genuine ness of the relie, aud Mr. Fields places a very high valuation on then), and he would not part with them at any price. BROKERS. 'now-thetimf to speculate."

A Scaly, Itching, Skin Disease with Endless Suffering Cured by Cutlcura Remedies. IF I bail known of the Citiovra Remkmks twenty-eight years ago it would have saved me S2OO (two hundred dollars* and an immense amount of suffering. My disease (Psoriasistcoui menoed on my head in a snot not larger than a cent. It spread rapiilly all over my body and got under my nails. Tlk- scales would drop off of me all the time, and my suffering was end less, and without relief. One thousand dollars would not tempt me to have this disease over again. lam a poor man. but feel rich to be re lieved of what some of the doctors said wa leprosy, some ring worm, psoriasis, etc. I took and Sarsaparilla* over one year and a half, but no cure. I went to two or three doc tors and no cure. I cannot praise tbe Cuticura Remedies too much. They have made my skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's. All l used of them was three boxes of Cuticura, and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap. If you had been here and said you would have cured me for S2OO you would have hail the money. 1 looked like the Picture in your book of Psoriasis (Picture man fair two "How to Pure Skin Diseases”), but now lam as clear as any person ever was. Through force of habit I rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch once in awhile, but to no purpose. I aju all well. I scratched twenty eight yeans, and it got to be a kind of second nature to me. I thank you a thousand times.
