A VERY QUEER DUEL.
Broughton by a Remarkable £ct It
Ended Very Ramarltably,
From the Louisville Commercial,
I was talking with an old West Indian ex
planter, a man not long past his three-soore
years and ten, who loft Jamaica somswaara
m the fifties, saysa writer:
•‘I sae,” said he, “that there is sorao talk
of raisins Sir John Macdonald’s widow to
the peerage. If it should prove tree, she
will he the first native West Indian to come
in for such an honor, at least in a gt eat
many years. Indeed, I do not remember
that tile thing has ever happened before,
although Cowan, the composer, who re
ceived a uaro. etcy some time since, was,
line Lady Macdonald, a native of Jamaica.
“Yes,” he continued, "I remember her
father well. ‘Monkey Bernard’ they used to
call him. and probably no white man exc>pt
Charles Darwin himself, the apostle of the
monkey ancestral gospel, ever more closely
resembled an ape in the face.
“There was a young buck, however, who
had a narrow escape of paying dearly for
Ins laugh at Bernard’s unfortunate physiog
nomy.
“.fohn X.—that was not. his name, but it
"ill do as well as any other • was walking
along Port Ryan street, Kingston, one fine
turning when a crowd of idle nogroes at
tracted his attention. The center of amuse
ment proved to be a good-sized ape, which
a Spauish sailor held by a rope fastened
round its body.
“X. was at once struck by the likeness—
so he told me afterward—to Bernard, ami
the result was that he then and there handed
over two gold doubloons to the sailor and
bee une the proprietor of this hying cari
cature.
“Bernard was a large planter and a man
of sjina wealth, and held a major’s commis
sion in the Jamaica militia. The fates so
willed it that there was a grand inspection
of the militia appointed to he held within a
few weeks after this zoological investment
of X.’s, and the father of mischief prompted
hun to avail himself of the occasion for au
act of the most outrageous devilment.
“He had the ape fitted with a complete
suit of regimentals, as worn by a major in
the Jamaica militia, bought a little tin
sword, and spent hours in training this
brute to walk upright, with the drawn
sword held in its right hand.
“The secret was well kept until the day
of the review. Crowds of negroes sur
rounded the race course just outside of
Kingston, where the troops wore to march
pash Presently Bernard’s regiment
marched on to tbs ground and wheeled into
hue. At the same moment there was a
ihout from some hundreds of lusty negro
throats, ‘Lookoo Monkey Bernard!’ and
X.’s ape, brilliant in scarlet and white,
with a tin sword well shouldered, strutted
out toward the ranks.
“I suppose that, with the exception of
Bernard himself, there was not a man on
that ground who was not convulsed with
laughter. The military evolutions had to
wait until the ape had been recaptured by
X’s groom.
"The duel had not quite gone out of fash
ion in those days, or at any rate not in Ja
maica. Of course, apology would hava
teen ridiculous, so X. had to accept Ber
nard’s challenge. The weapon, as was usual
with us, was the old-fashioned single-bar
raled dueling pistol. The principals had the
right of ‘reserving their fire,’ that is,
though they might not fire until the word
was given, either of them might take time,
after the word was given, to aim more de
liberately.
"X. was an accomplished duelist, but 1
suppose he saw the enormity of first la
boriously insulting an unoffending man and
then shooting him. Otherwise I can’t ac
count for his missing Bernard, as he did, for
lif 1 remember right) the distance was only
twenty paces.
"Bernard reserved his fire. Then, with
his pistol still pointing to the ground, he
said to X., who was quietly awaiting
tha event: ‘Young man, I am uot going to
take your life this time, but this will teach
you what 1 could do if I fe.lt inclined.’
“X, was standing close to a tree, on
which a ripe limefruit hung within a yard

of his hear’. Bernard raised his pistol, and
with the bullet cut that fruit clean from the
bi *'"'dies it hung on.
“If any one ever deserved to bear the
motto ‘handsome is that handsome does’ it
was ‘Monkey Bernard,’ and I think from
and after that day be and all his family
ought to have been proud of his nickname.”
“AVnat became of the ape?” I asked.
“I forget what fato bofel! that famous
ape,” taid my old friend, but the pistols
tL >y used—a pair—have found their way, I
believe, like Bernard’s daughter, to
Canada. ”
IRANSPiXaD, YET -..v.-.Q.
1 be Story Told by a Spear in the E reaßt
bone of a Wild Brant.
Irom the. Washington Evening Star.
Avery surprising curiosity has been
placed in the hands of Prof. Otis T. Mason
at the national museum. It is the breast
bone of a wild brant transfixed bv an arrow.
The bird, which weighed about fifteen
pounds, was shot in the Kankakoe marshes,
Indiana, with a guu aud subsequently eaten,
but the part of its anatomy mentioned was
preserved.
Once upon a time—it must have bean
some years before—this particular brant
was summering in Alaska, where others of
its species gather every year for the pur
pose of mating. An India u shot at the bird
with an arrow which had for its point a
piece of a deer’s rib seven inches long. His
aim was so true that the weapon went clear
through the “keel” of iho fowl’s breast-bone
aud stuck there, the shaft falling to the
ground. It is in th-s way that the natives
of those parts make tie ir arrows in order
that the shafts may not be lost. The latter
fall when the game is struck and are
picked up again.
Though transfixed in this fashion, the
brant was too sturdy a bird to yield its life
so readily, no vital orgau having been
touched, and it calmly flew away, doubtless
to the disgust of the hunter. After awtiile
the wouud healed, and the fowl managed to i
get along very comfortably with the deer’s j
rib through its breast. Years afterward it i
was slain with more sure leaden shot in
Ihdiana, and now its breast-bone has been |
deposited at the National Museum by YV. ;
YV. Cheshire of this city. Its tragic history :
is known thus in detail because the arrow ,
head itself told It all. Each Indian tribe iu
Alaska makes its weapons af!er
a pattern peculiar to itself, and Prof. Ma
son has thus been enabled to determine that
the brant was struok with the arrow on the
Yukon river, and nowhere else. Further
more, he knows positively at what part cf
the Yukon the thing occurred, and he can
even locate the spot with certai- ty withiu
two or three miles. It is an affair quite
unique that a bird should be thus impaled
and yet carry the instrument of death
so long in such a manner. Besides, the
story has additional interest in the bearing
it has upon the study of this bird’s migra-
The arrow head is stuck through the keel
of the breast-bone precisely at right angles
with the latter, projecting ou either side
about an equal di.tance. To protect the
bird’s flesh against its irritatiod bony ma
terial has been deposited around the weapon
for half an inch each way. The piece of
deer’s rib was stralehtened by the
maker of the arrow with a sort of wrench
in the process of manufacture, after which
it was shaved down and polished to a
fine point. Near the butt and of it is a
single barb, for the instrume it is of the
character known as a rankling weapon—
that is to say, after entering the flesh of tho
victim it works its way into the vitals,
eventually causing death. An Indian
thinks nothing of following a deer thus
wounded many days in the expectation of
securing the prey finally.
