HATWOOD. Agent. THAT WONDERFUL DUEL Marie Twain on tbs Field of Honor, as Oambctta’s Second. Mark Twain write* tor the Feb- raary number ' of tba Atlantie Monthly an account of bin partici pation in the reoent duel between GamWta and Foartou. When be bad heard ot tba outbreak in the assembly, he says that be called on Gainbctta, whom be tound "ateeoed in a profound French calm.” Mr. Twain, after being embraoed, began the conversation: I said I supposed he would abb me to act as hb second, and be laid “Of course.” I said I must be al lowed to net under n French name, so that I might be shielded from ob loquy in my country in case of fa- tal results. He winced here, prob ably at the suggtstioo that duelling was not regarded with Respect in America. However, he agreed to my requirement This aeconnls for the faet that iu all the newspaper reports M. Gambvtta’s second was apparently a Frenchman. First, we drew up my principal’s will. I in sisted upon Ibis and stuck to my point. I said I bad never heard ol a mao iu his right mind going out to fight a dnel without first making his will. He said he had never beard of a man in bb right mind doing anything of the kiud. "When he bad finished the will, be wished to proceed to n choice of bis “lust word.” He wauled to know the following words, us allying exclam at ion: 'I die for my God, for my coun try, for freedom of speech, for prog ress aud the universal brotherhood of man 1” I objected that Ibis would require too lingering a death; it was a good speech for a consumptive, hut nut suited to the i xigeneies of the field of honor. Wo wruugled over u good many ante-mortem outbursts, but I finally got biiu to cut hig obit uary down to this, wbiob be copied into bis memorandum book, propo sing to get it by heart: •*I .lie diet France we, He* " I said Hint this remark seemed to lack relevancy, but he said relevan cy was a mutter of no consequence in last words—what was wauled was t.irill. 1 then wrote the following note and caaried it to M< Fourtuu's friend t Sib: M. Gambetta accepts M. Fourtou'g challenge, anil authorizes me to propose Plessu-Fiquet as the place of meeting, to-morrow morn ing at day-break as the time, aud axes a* the weapons I am, sir, with great respect, Mabx Twaix. M. Fonrton’s friend read thb note aud shuddered. Then be turn ed to me, and laid witha suggestion of severity in bis tiro* 1 “Have you considered, air, what would be the inevitable result of such a meeting aa this?'’ “Well, for instance, what would it bar “Bloodshed 1” “That’s about th* sue of it,” I said. “Now, if it’s • (air question, what was your aide proposing to shedr' I bad him there, he saw tbit hf had made a mistake, so he basteusd to explain it away. He said be had spoken jestingly. Then be added that bo and bis principal would en joy axes, and indeed jimfer them, but such weapon* were barred by the French code, and so I must ohauge my proposal, After proposing Gktling gun*, ri- fies, na+JT pistols and brick-batg, M r - Twain left tie choice of wnapotjg to the other seoeod. who fisbeid out of bis vest pocket a coupfi of ’iiUle thing* which I carried to tW light aid discovered ,to be pistol*. 1 TW were ’ single barreled and rilwr mounted sod rtrj dainty and pret ty. I was not able to apeak tor emotion. I riUmtly hfwg <*• ot them on my wstcb chain aud re turned the other. My oompanlon in crime now unrolled a postage itamp containing several cartridges, and gave me one of them. I naked if he meant to signify by this that onr men were to be allowed but oue shot apiece. He replied that the French code permitted no more.— I then begged him to go on and sug gest a distance, for my mind wus growing weak and oonfused under the strain that had been put upon it. He named sixty-five yards I near ly lust my patience. I said: “Sixty-five yards, with these in struineuta? Fop-guns would be deadlier at fifty. Consider, my friend, you and I are beaded to gether to destroy life, not make it eternal.” • But with all my persuasions, all my arguments, I was only able to get him to reduce the distance to thirty-five yards; and even this concession be mnde with reluctance, and said with a sigb: “I wash my buudB of this slaugh ter—on your bend be it.” There was nothing for me but to go borne to my own lion heart and tell my bnmilintiiig story. When I entered, M. Gambetta was laying bis Inst lock ofbnir ou the nltur.- He sprang toward me, exelaimiug “The weapon, the weapon!— Quick 1 Wbat is I be weapon ?” ■This!” and I displayed that sil ver mounted thing. He caught but one glimpse of it, and swooned pon- teronsly to the floor. IVlieo bo caine to ho said mourn fully: "The unnatural calm to whichl havd subjected myself bus told upon my nerves. JJnt away with weak ness! I will cunfrout my fate like a man ami a Frenchman.” He rone to his feet and assumed nu nttitule which for sublimity bus never been approached by man and him seldom been surpassed by statues. After a long silence be naked: "Was notbing laid about that man’s family standing up with him, us an offset to my bulk ? But no matter; I would not stoop to mnke such n suggestion; if he is not noble enough to suggest it himself, be is welcome to his advantage, which no honorable mao would take.” “At wbat hour i* the engagement to begin ?” "Half-p*»t nine." “Very good indeed. Have you sent the fact to the newspaper*?” “Sir! If after our long and in timate friendship you cau for a mo ment deem me capable of bo base a treachery" “Tut, tut! What words arc these, my dear friend? Have I wounded you? Ab, forgive me; I am over loading you with labor. Therefore go on with the other details, aud drop this one from your list. Tbs bloody-minded Fourtou will he sure to attend to it Or I myself— yes, to make certain, I will drop a note to my journalist friend, M. Noir” “Ob, come to think, yon mty sav* yourself tbs trouble; that other second baa informed M. Noir ” “H’m I I might have known it It is just like that Fourtou, who al ways wants to make a display." At half-part nine in the morning the prosession approached the field of PIcssis-Piquet in the following order: First came our carriage— nobody in it but M. Gambetta and myadf; then a carriage containing M. Fourtou and Us second, then a carriage containing two poet- orators who did not believe in God, and these bad MS. funeral orations projecting from their breast pock ets; then a carriage containing the bead, surgeon* and their ease* of in- rtruments; then eight private car riage* containing consulting sur geons; then a back containing a cor oner; tb*o the two hearses; then • earring^, Containing th* head un dertakers; then a train of assistants aud motes on foot, and after these came plodding through the fog a long prucessiou of camp-followers, police tud citizens generally. It wasn noble toro-out, and would have made a fine display if w* bad bad thinner weather. Tbs police noticed that the publio bad massed themselves together on the right aud left of the field; they therefore begged a delay while they should put these poor people in a place of aafety. The.request wus granted. The police having ordered the two multitudes to take positions behind the duelisln, we were once more ready. The weather growing still more opaque, it was ngroed be tween myself and the other second that before giving the fatal siguul we should each delivers loud whoop to enable the combatants to ascer tain each other’s whereabouts. I now returned to my principal, and was distressed to observe that he Imd lost a good deal of spirit, i tried iny beat to hearten him. said: “Indeed, sir, thiugs are not hb bad us they seem. Considering the character of the weapons, the limited number of shuta allowed, the generous distance, the impene trable solidity of the fug, and the added foot that on* of the combat ants isoue-eyed and the other cross eyed and oear-sighted, it seems to me that this conflict should not nec essarily be futal. There are chances that both of you may survive. Therefore, cheer up; do not be down-benrted.” This speech had so good so effect that my principal immediately stretched forth bis band and and: “Inin myself again; give me the weapon.” 1 laid it, all lonely nnd forlorn, in the center of the vast solitude of his palm. He gazed at it and shuddered. And still mournfully contemplating it, be mured in a broken voice* “Alas, it is not death I dread, bnt mutilation. ’ I heartened him once mors, and with such success that lie presently ■aid: "let the tragedy begin. Stand at my back; do not desert me in tbit solemn boar, u.y friend’ I gars him my promise. I now assisted him to point bis pistol to wards tba spot where I judged bis adversary to be standing, and cau tioned him to listen well sod further guide himself by my fellow-second’s whoop. Then I propped myself ■gainst M. Gambetta’* back and raised a rousing "Whoop-ce!” This was answered from out the far dis tance of the fog, and I immediately shouted: “One—two—three—firs!" Two little sounds like apltt spit! broke upon my ear, and in tb*Mm* instant I was crushed to tbs earth under a monntsio of flesh. Barisd ■s I was, f was stili'nbt* to catch a faint accent from above, to this ef fect: “Idiafor for ...Ob,yes— FbakcbI I die that Franoe may lire I” The surgeons swarmed around with their probe* iu their bands and applied their microscope* to th* whole are* of M- Gambstta’a per- son, with th* happy result of finding nothing in the nature of a wound. Then a seen* ensued which was ip every way gratifying and inspirit ing. Th* two gladiatora fell upon each other’s necks, with floods of proud and happy tears; that other second embraoed me; th* sngeons, the ora tor*, the undertaker*, the police everybody embraoed, everybody cried, and the whole atmnephera was filled .with praise, ami ths jpy unspeakable. It seemed to me then that I would rather be the hero oh a French doefthan a cry.wn.*4 aqi aoeplre* monarchy | Chronological History of the Ante i can Indians. 1820.

In the following significant facts lately submitted by the clerk of the circuit court of Edwards county, Il linois, the econoniy of temperance is strikingly illustrated: There lias not been a licensed sa. loon in this county for over twen ty-five years. During that time our jail has not averaged an occu*. pant a year. This county never sent but one person to the peni tentiary, and that man was sent up for killing his wifo while drunk on whiskey obtained from a licensed saloon in an adjoining county. Wo have but very few paupers in our poor house, sometimes only three or four. Our taxes aro 82 per cent, lower than they are in adjoining counties where saloons are licensed. Our people ore proeperoue, pecca ble and sober, there being very lit tle drinking, oxoept near Gray ville, a licensed town of White county, near our border. The different terms of our circuit court occupy. three or four days each year, and then the dockets are cleared. Most boys believe that the hum ming sound made by the telegraph wires is caused by the messages hurrying along to their destination* Most men bevieve that this sound is caused by the vibration of the wire in the wind. A writer in an Austrian journal, however, call* at tention to the fret that one who givesdceeobservation to both' the wire and sounds will find that the latter make themselves obvious likewise when there is a total ab sence of wind; and in a quiet morn ing in winter, when the wires ap- pear, covered with frost to tho thick* ness of a finger, they nevertheless carry on lively vibrations and swinging, while the air is perfectly quiet According to this theory, therefore, the vibrations are due, not to the wind, but to the c‘ of atmospheric temperature, pecially through the action of as the lowering of'the temperature induces a shortening of the wires, extending over the whole length of tho coudutcor. A considerable amount of friction is produced on tho supporting bells, thus iuducdng sound, both in the wires and the poles.
