“ Did yon over ride in the “cab 1
locomotive?"
A reporter, you know, never allows a
chance to slip wherein Information ie
to be fairly gained. >
When burly-framed and large-hearted
Buck Smith, engineer of No. 1, offered
■ne a ride in his “cab," yon may depend
—to use a slang phrase—“I was there."
Smith was a popular fellow. But his
extreme quitness of disposition was re
marked by every one, and there was an
ever-present, unmistakable expression
of sadness In his handsome eyes, withal
hUglance was a^VW.S* « eag|e>when
on the-run, and looking Out ahead.’’ He
was running the St. Louis night express
that backs into Washington before head
ing westward. 1 was going as far as the
capital.
1 clambered, silly and unseen, into
"cab,” and was instantly alert lor eve
rything, though careful to keep myself
out of the way.
Promptly at 7:30 the gong Bounded
There was a hissing of steam, a continu
ous, doleful clanging of the bell, puff!
puff! and out of the glare of C- —— sta-
tion we glided into darkness—darkness,
pitchy and wet with falling snow.
(Irim, stern, rigid ns a statue, stood
Buck. I fe|t to wondering whether an
engineer's arm never grew tired, when 1
knew that Ids trusty hand-did not dare
once to Iw removed from that small lever
in a route of hundreds of milea, while
scores of human beings slept tranquilly
in the cars behind him—slept, and few
indeed had thought to offer a prayer tor
tln> brave, resolute man on whose nerve
their very lives depended.
To tny surprise, with the increase of
speed, there seemed to be less noise in
the “cab.” And it was just as 1 began
to realize this, that the incident occur
red which 1 now relate to yon.
We hail passed Winaus. I knew there
was no road to signal for! but Buck
suddenly exclaimed:
"Blow, Harry!”
The fireman pulled the coni, and out
on the night shrieked a peculiar whistle,
unlike any 1 had ever heard.
At the same time, Harry, the young
fireman, glanced at me stnngely, and
shook Ids head. I looked instinctively
at Buck Smith, and what I saw made
my reporter’s heart jump. There was a
mystery In the call of engine No. 1
The grim hand was still tight on the
lever, the stern, sa l eyes still fixed un
swervingly ahead; but I saw on one
cheek, a single, shining, rolling tear.
He was bending forward slightly. His
rough shirt was open tit the front, where,
suspended by a leathern string, were two
rings—one a plain gold band, the other
set with a beautiful, gleaming diamond.
These rings were pressed kissiiiglv to
his lips.
“Buck’s a-prayin'!” said the fireman,
close to my ear.
Then Buck, as he carefully hid away
tin ring-;
"Hear that loot. Sat'.’"
"Yes.”
"fines* what it’s for'.”’
"How should 1»”
"For my little girl."
"Why, i didn’t know you had a child,
Buck.”
“Well, the whole world doesn’t know
it—that's a fact. Coal tip, Harry;
here's the grade."
Tlic iron door was wrenched open,
like the fiery, seething mouth of n drag
on, while the fireman piled his shovel.
"Ail had transpired In less than ten
seconds. As the glare lighted broadly
on the dark night, I saw, on the bank
by the track road—saw, as we sped like
ii.» wind—ft fyniule figure, who waved a
lantern to and fro.
“God bless her, Nat—that’s my Dol
ly?” Then, presently: "I don’t know,
but 1 may as well tell you about It—
though I don't tel! everybody, mind you.
I’ve only had my home here a few
years—used to live near Point o’ Rocks.
As pretty a cottage it w as, fora pretty
wife, as any man need wish for. You
haven't know nine long, or you’d have
heard that I married a girl who expected
to inherit handsomely. But I like vou,
Nat. No matter how the match came
out. She was a very delicate and very
beautiful prize for a rough man like I
am. 1 won her away from a chap who
was better off, better-looking, than I.
His name was Carrol Conrad. I was
lever a jealous man; I did not even re
quest iny wife to give up his acquain
tance. So 1 thought nothing of it when
sometimes when I returned from a trip
she would say:
"Buck, dear, Carrol has been here to
see me.”
“But one night, Nat, there came a
blow that well nigh drove me mad—
Wail a minute. Blow for the relay
Harry.”
Thrice, four times, shrieked the
prompt whistle, and presently the train
came to a halt. Not for long. There
w as a liang on tlic little gong over my
head that started uie.
Again we steamed onward. No more
stoppings until we reached Washington
now ; no more interruptions, except the
signal blows for curves, and roads,
was almost breathlessly still, watching
Buck, who, it seemed to me, had not
moved a muscle or turned an eye from
Ids “lookout” siuce he kissed the talls-
inatiic rings.
“I found the cottage darkened," he
resumed, abruptly, after we had rum
bled across the viaduct. “There was no
light to welcome me, like there had al
ways been, and—and, Nat, my wife was
gone. I found on the parlor tablo a
note that, first set my blood on fire, then
turned my heart to stone. As near as
can remember it w as something like
tills:
“Buck, dear, forgive me! My life has
been so lonesome since marrying you,
and the temptation is so great, that
have consented to go with Carrol. 1 am
not all wicked; 1 couldn’t helpttj for
give me." 11 ' ’ .it' 'G
“I though It all over as in a dream
Nat. Poor .little thing! she didn’t see
much of me for love-making, that’s a
fact. Then some sort of demon caused
me to write a curse upon the pair, and
pinned it to the table top with my pen
knife.
"Turning round, 1 found little Dolly
standing in die doorway, crying. She
had been looking everywhere in vain for
mamma. At least this treasure was left
to me.
Ah, Nat, It was this precious charge
that saved me from going straight to the
dogs.
“I closed the cottage, resigned my en
gine, and brought Dolly off here to live.
Pd saved a little sum. A year went by.
Then came another eventfW night?-*
night as sad to mo as ever hitman being
knew. The wind howled a gale; the
saow was deep, and falling fast, Dolly
came running to me, crying loudly,
“Papa—oli, papa—there's somebody
lyfitgon the track. It's a woman, J
can’t pull her off; and the St. Louises
preset* coming."
: "Nat, I reached the track In tiro big
leaps. In anotuer moment 1 had grasp

the snow: and just la time, for thia

as I said before. She
and called out in a voice that seems to
dwell in my ears now:
"Buck—oh, Buck, dear,! is it you at
last?”
“Then, as I stood dumb and trembling,'
ahe told me her pitiful story. Carrol
Conrad had come to her with a letter
from her father, wao was in New York,
saying that he was dying, and wanted her
by his bedside. Little Dolly was at a
friend** house, throe miles back In the
country. No time could be lost. She
went with Conrad. Not until they
were beyond Philadelphia, did she learn,
from his own lips, the dastardly ruse.
“The letter was a forgery. The hasty
note of explanation she had left for me,
had been adroitly exchanged for the one
I found—another base forgery. Shewas
now blasted in my sight, he told her.
Soon bet name would be bandied in slan
derous gossip. Had she not better
go with hitn, and let his devotion repry
for the trick ! She spurned the wretch,
and called on the t rain icondtictor to pro
tect her, continuing her way to New
York.
“Here she found her failicr dead. He
had ruptured an armory in excitement
over a speculation failure that cost him
every dollar of his fortune. She was
then without kindred, without money,
and her few early friends scattered and
lost. She managed to make her way
back; but no one could tell lier where I
was. She found Conrad’s forgery with
my hitter curse on the back of it. It must
have driven her insane.
“God meant that I should know tiiese
truths before she died. In her wander
ing search for me, she hail come almost
to my very door unknowingly. Right
there she resol veil to die—to die by throw
ing herself under the St. Louis night ex
press. Consumption did it’s work soon,
added to that night’s exposure. 1 laid
in her grave, Nat, and my heart with her.
‘ ‘That was five years ago. I went back
on the road and got engine No. 1. Dolly
is a big girl now. And every time I run
this train out. you’ll find her by the
trock with a lantern—ruin, snow or star
light, Nat—waiting to hear me blow, and
to see that there’s nobody on the rails.
And she dips the lantern, for a kiss, you
know.
"Engineers, like sailors, have some
little supersition; und sometimes, when
I pass the spot where I snatched my un
happy wife from a horrible death, I fed
a shudder go through me, us if I’d ac
tually struck somebody with the catcher.
Not another word from Buck, during
the remainder of the ride. At the Wash
ington depot, we parted willi a hearty
good-by.
A few years later, quite by accident,
while at C Station, on reportorial
business, I heard that good old Buck was
dead. His daughter, Dolly, had mar
ried and was living snugly among the
grceli hills of Anacostia. I). C.
ARTIFICIAL RAIN.
And Rain that I* not Artigcial.
A SetanUve Vlow of tho Probability of laduclos
Showers by Atmospheric Disturbances.
Tha following, clipped .from Uie Co-
lmnbus Enquirer Sun, iff
may' account for
theexcessive rains around Athens. It
will be remembered that our section
has lieen visited with copious showers
and we are willing to lay them at the
door of dynamite, if scientists say so.
The greater part of yesterday was
dark and dreary, and the earth was sat
urated with heaven’s tears. It began
raining in the late hour of the night, and
kept up a steady fall reminding one of
the dreary winter days. While the rain
jvas not unwelcomcd, it was not never
theless unneeded, as there has been no
time this snmmer that we have suffei ed
for rain. Tills has been the subject of
much speculation and rasfov are dispos
ed to attribute the cause to' the blasting
at the Kagle and Phoenix rock dam. It
is a well remembered circumstance that
during the late war, thebe was not a
heavy bombardment but which was fol
lowed by a bard rain. The hot blood
of the battlefield was cooled by the out
pouring from the sky, and in a majority
ot cases the rains were of a local charac
ter.
This fact strengthens the belief that
Uie blasting at the rock dam has a great
deal to do with it, and that Uie showers
we are now having are produced from
artificial means. This idea is increased
when it is seen that the showers are par
tial to Columbus and partake so much
of a local nature. Within the last six
weeks a very much larger quauily of
rain has fallen in Columbus than at any
given point two miles from the city. It
is Uius that the subject of producing rain
by artificial means is given recruits, and
there are those who would not give the
facta as they occur for all the theories in
the world.
But there are those also who theorize
on the subject anil believe the question
to be one of a litUe time only before it
is practieallv illustrated. The laws of
nature rarely impose any difficulty or
want without the association of means
for correction or relief, it is a prevail
ing opinion that there is more water
generally above the habitable surface of
the earth than below It, auil the theory
that it requires adequate means to se
cure it may be a correct one,
A scienUflc genUeman, and one who
is entirely practicable ill diaposiUon,
says that " the supply of water through
the workings of a common, natural law
—that of evaporation and cendenaatiqn-
is generally understood, ami a fall of)ain
is anticipated by a reduced pressure of
the atmuephere. Water absorbs * pre

THE FIRST DEAD REBEL.
fool-fo a. 1
Albany, Ga., July 21,1882
The reasons given by you this morning
J hy Colonel Fisher, who was killed at
all Ban, could not have been the first
* bel was correct. The first soldier
lio died while in the service of the Uni
ted States, was a tailor from Augusta,
Ga., who died iu April, 1801, and the
fjret soldier killed In battle was a beard-
Mf» boy not ‘'twenty years did, froqa
North Carolina; in. May, 1861. This
Was the first blood shed in the Southern
cause. There were two First Georgia
Regiments which went to the war iu
April, 1861, the First Regulars who
were sent to Savannah, and the First
Volunteers who were ordered to Pensa
cola under Colonel Ramsey, from Au
gusta. There were two companies from
Augusta, Git., in thia regiment one of
boys just from school, and one of older
citizens of Augusta, lit the latter com
pany was a tailor, who, in a frolic, caught
and put in his bosom a garter, or as
sonic times called, a thunder and light
ning bhake. There la a mlwyafiNli 1
species of serpent, some whose bite is
deadly and others who are not at all pois
onous. The soldier made a mistake, as
there is but little difference in their
looks. Whilst going around with the
snake in his bosom a crowd o’ his fellow
soldiers gathered around, anil iu a spir
it of bravado he took it out and provok
ed the reptile until it bit him on the
back of his hand, from which wound he
died very soon. The snake w as killed,
taken to Augusta and preserved in alco
hol. Being in that city a lew montliB
afterward 1 saw the reptile, which was
two feet long and about the size of a
child’s finger. All the members of the
First Georgia Regiment will recollect
this circumstance.
The first soldier killed in battle on the
Southern side was at Big Bethel church,
about fifty miles from Gut Town, Vir
ginia. Benjamin Butler had landed
the first Yankee troops in Virginia, in
May, 1851, and was met by a Virginia
regiment at the church named. Gener
al Wadsworth, of Connecticut, wits in
immediate command, and upon seeing
the Southern troops advancing on him
jumped upon alog, waved his sword over
his head and ordered his men to fire.
They did so, and the North Caorlina
hoy, who wa* a volunteer in the Virgin
ia regiment, fell dead, the only one kill
ed on our side. Immediately our men
returned the tire, shooting the Geuural
from tlie log, and his soldiers left that
battle field. These two men, one on
each side, was the first blood shed in the
war, except the men of the Massachu
setts regiment who were killed by a mob
in Baltimore, Maryland. I was with my
regiment, in July 1861. and visited the
cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, and
stood over the grave, at the head of
which was a lioard bearing this inscrip
tion (the name 1 have forgotten): "From
North Carolina, the first soldier killed
in the. war iietweon the North and South.’
Any of the oid soldiers of the ltith Geor
gia Regiment will recollect the circum
stance of this, the first battle of the war.

ing absurd story:
Johnson was a fide poker player, one
of the best in Tennessee. He used to
tell of a game he played with Grant in
1866. Grant was then at Washington
and visited the President one night. Af
ter a short talk Johnson proposed a' game
of poker. Grant, whb was an inveterate
player then; jumped at the chance
Cards were brought and they begapto
play. Grant lost steadily anil heaipy.
The game was $1, call (3, and no Inait.
At last Grantsaid, “Johnson, T will pjuy
you one more deal around and we.will
quit; I am tired of this d—h foolish
ness." Johnson dealt and wouldn’t
come In. They made it a jackpot. /
“The jack pot went on increasing in
size; neither could open if. "At last
there was $64 in the pot. Granft was
dealing. Johnson picked up liis cards;
he had two pair of aces up. ; Gn nt [pok
ed at his cards, and quietly laid.tjtfwn.
Johnsaid said: 4
“I will open for $20.”
Grant, withont moving a muscle of
his cast iron countenance, leaned back
his chair and said slowly, looking at his
cards all the time: W_
“I will have to raise you $50, Andy, I
can’t help it.”
Johnson was a flttle-surprised, bu
stood the raise. Grant asked him how
many cards lie wanted.
“1 just want one; how many do you
want?"
"Eh?” said GrantA’arelessly, 1 don’t
want any this time."
Johnson picked his curd. ltwn*an
ace. He bet $100.
“I will see your $100, Andy, and raise
her $2,000.”
Johnson said afterward the l>et came
near taking the breath away from him,
but something told him Grant waaTiluff-
iug. He felt a presentment that he was.
"Grant. I will see your $2,(XX) and
raise her $500."
Grant clenched his teeth, and his lips
came together like a steel trap.
"I will see your $500 and go you $5,000
better.”
"I got a little scared," says.lolmson.
“and thought that umy lie he hail tours
on me. So I said, I’ll just call you, what
have pou got?"
"Jack high!” said Grant, anil with an
oath jumped up from the table, got his
hut and left, giving Johlisou his mile for

The Supervisor hesitated, ami then
said: “Certainly,” and advauceil a

“Oh, never fear,” replied the teach

Tlie boy began the question: “Add

“ No, no,” said the Supervisor. “ I
will not be a party to over-taxing the
children’s brains. I have conscien
tious scruples against it. This forcing
system Is ruining the rising genera

left the room.
“Well, Judge Castleton, will you

“Crawford!”sang out the brake-
man, as the second station below Ath-
ens is leached, and we disembarked
from the train literally into the bosom
of our friends. This is one of the most
thriving villages In Middle Georgia,
and is remarkable for the solvency of
Us merchants and the sobriety and pi
ety of its inhabitants. The town was
named in honor of Wm. H. Crawford,'
the compeer of Calhoun and Webster,
and one of the most remarkable men
the south ever produced. He lived
and died at “ Woodlawn,” the present
home of Dr. W. M. Willingham, and
his remains rest beneath afplain mare
ble slab, in a beautiful grove, that can
be seen from the windows of the pass
ing train. It is of this place and. Its
present owner that we Intend to write.
A short drive of but little more than
kkjtggjjt V-’-r to this noted ctlfl.
homestead, that sets back in a grove
of stately oaks and giant chestnuts.
The view from the long piazza that
encircles one side of the house is un
surpassed, and is well worthy the ar
tist’s pen. Elevated upon a com
manding site, it completely overlooks
the thrlviug little village at Us feet,
while the eye takes in a landscape of
rural life and beauty for many miles
on every side. The Georgia railroad
winds around the farm for several
miles, and the train looks like a huge
serpent as it gracefully glides onward.
The house is a large, rambling build
ing, constructed in the shape of an L,
but It Is in perfect repair and nowhere
are tlie signs of age visible. The wing
was built by Mr. Shelton Oliver, the
former owner and father to Mrs. Wil
lingham, but the older portion was
erected by Mr. Crawford. Those large
open fire-places mark a past epoch
in architecture. Around this hospi
table hearth have often gathered the
statesmen and of not only jurists Geor
gia, but the United States, and the fu
ture politics of tlie nation here settled
beyond appeal.
As soon as you invade these premi
ses you feel yourself surrounded by
those evidences of refinement so pro
verbial to the south in her better days.
Mrs. W. is quite acomioisenr in flowers
and on every hand you see blooming
in luxuriant radiance the rarest ex-
otios. Tills lady has searched the
Union to udd to lier conservatory,and
she has probably the finest private
collection in Georgia. It is really a
treat to wander among her Floral
treasures, and drink In their perfume
und feast the eye upon the varied
hues.
Dr. Willingham has only owned
this farm about too years, but even in
that short time he has made most
wonderful changes and improve
ments. The rambling old out-buiRl-
lng are fast being demolished, to give
place to more modern barns, etc., so
located as not to mar the beauty of
the place or obstruct the view. The
Doctor started out by making his
farm self-supporting, and to do this,
began by sacrificing King Cotton to
grain. This year he has his barns and
bins overflowing with wheat and oats,
and like the rich man in the Bible,
nad to build larger houses to accom
modate his unexpected crop. In one
pile we saw over a thousand bushels
of rust-proof oats, that he will sell,
besides reserving enough to run his
farm for a year. He has more wheat
than he knows what to do with, and
forage enough to keep several hundred
head of cattle through the winter.
His corn crop is a feast to the eye, and
he will have even some of this grain
to sell, besides making a fine yield of
cotton as a surplus crop. He has his
wheat and oat straw nicely packed
away in sheds, and tells us that it is
nearly as nutritious as fodder for stock
when uot exposed to the weater.
A large pasture, thickly set in the
most luxuriant Bermuda grass, ad
joins his horse lot, and on this does
the proprietor raise his horses and
cattle. He has now several fine colts
ready for tlie bridle, and tells us that
their expense has been nominal, as
they feed and range with his cattle.
He expects to buy several fine brood
mares and go to raising mules, in
which he says there is a large profit.
The Doctor has also a flue Jersey bull,
pure blood and registered, by which
he is fast improving his breed of cat
tle. He once attempted the raising
of Merino sheep, but the darkeys and
dogs soon disgusted him with the ven-
ture;so he substituted the nimble goat
therefor. v ^

A special trom Petersburg, Virginia,
gives the true details oi the duelbe tween
Richard Garland, of VirguilaTand'j“
seph Addison, of Baltimore, which took
place a few days ago, and which resulted
in the killing of the latter after, numer
ous shots bad been exchanged. The duel
occurred near the little town of Lnnen-
berg, Virginia, and owing to the l^ck of
telegraphic facilities, the particulars of
the fight and what caused it remained a
secret till to-day,.
It now appears that Addison chal
lenged Garland because the latter per
sisted in making reflections on. Addi
son’s finance. Miss Mamie L. Hatchett,
a member of one of the F. E. V’a. The
first step which led to the death of young
Addison, was taken by Miss Hatchett,
on June 25th, when it appears ahe was
informed by Addison of the reflections
upon :her character placed in circulation
by Garland. The young lady in hot In*
dignation immediately wrote the fol
lowing letter, which she gave to Addi
son to deliver to Garland:
>■ Oxford, N.C., June 25,1882.
“Mr.Garland: Before leaving Lun
enburg I heard that it was reported
throughout the country that I had been
flirted with by no other than yourself;
but as there seemed to be no certainty
about the originator of the report In
question, I merely denied it indignantly
as a horrid falsehood, emenating from
the fertile imagination of some idle mis-'
chief-maker, who for some unknown
cause wished to wreck what
what I value infinitely more high
ly than life itself, viz: my reputation;
not, however, until I had registered a
vow that if you had ever made such an
assertion I would trace it up if it took
my whole life to do it. I came for a
purpose, and have accomplished it.
I now have it from your own
lips, and you dare not deny It. Now,
you know that it is the foulest falsehood
you ever uttered; and it is impossible to
realize how any one who claims to have
the first instinct of a man could let
pique and disappointment carry him so
far as to stoop so low and adopt so base
a means of avenging hifiiseli on one who
had in reality never injured him in the
least, and who, from the fact of her be
ing a girl, he thinks unable to defend
herself. <
“Now, all I wish to say, is just thlsi
I have known for a long time that neith
er of the words truth, principle or honr
or were to be found in your vocabulary,
aud although I acknowledged that your
intellect was weak, yet I must say that
for one who has been practicing treach
ery as long as you have, you have cer
tainly displayed less tact than I had giv
en you credit for. For several months
past I have known more of your charac
ter than you have any Idea of, blit made
a resolve never to expose you or try to
Injure you in any way In the estimation
of others, unless I knew positively,
without a doribt, that you hafl laid some
thing detrimental in connection with
myself. This promise I have sacredly,
adhered to until now, but there is a
point where endurance ceases to be a
virtue. The climax’ ii reached at last,
and I care little for tlie consequences.
You know as well as I do, that if yoa
would tell the truth, I Wave no objec
tion tp the A-hole world’s knowing ever
ry thing that has passed between ua; but
you seem to be in the habit of address
ing young ladies, and bn being discarded;
requesting , them, to say nothing about
it:' I know of more instances than one,
and think iii future it 1 , would be well to
save yurself that trouble, as I feel sure
that no one considers it an honor. i

“Joseph Addison.’’
, Nothing further was heard from Gar
land, and many supposed the affair had
blown over. A week or so afterward,
however. Miss Hatchett heard of Gar
land having repeated his previous slan
der, to the effect that she had permitted,
him to kiss'her, and immediately com
plained to t Addison, .The, latter then
wrote a formal challenge to Garland,
who replied '• cceDtine it. and the pre
liminaries were arranged by Messrs. W.
W. Boswell, acting for Garland, and John
Eaues, who was the second of Addison.
■What occurred after the youiig men
reached the appointed ground is detail
ed in the following statement, which
the seconds to-day prepared , for publi
cation: , , j ; .
Garland armed himself with a four-
barreled thlrty-two-c&libreplstdl. Alter
Addison was informed at the', mill
by Mr. Boswell that. Mr/ Garland was
waiting, he proceeded to meet Garland,
being accompanied by three fiieuda—
Messrs. Orgam, Kanes and Jones. Mr.
Addison and friends walked some thirty
yatds ahead of Mr. Boswell, Garland's
friend. Mr. Boswell commenced to re
cite the whole cause of the misunder
standing between Garland and Addison,
with the purpose of having the matter
settled without difficulty between tlie
principals. Before Mr. Boswell had got
into the merits of the case Mr. Addison
and his friends baited and engaged Mr.
Boswell In conversation. Mr. Boswell
then rode some forty yards ahead, and
the Addison party followed till they
reached the grouud, when they were
met by Mr. Garland and a friend named
Roche.
Messrs. Garland and Addison were in
troduced to each other. Mr. Garland,
speaking first, proceeded to ask Addi
son some questions, which was inter
rupted by the latter, who, in a frenzy of
rage, drew back his right arm as though
td strike Garland, who placed, his hand
iu his hip-pocket for his pistol. Addi
son at Ciiis jumped back, aud said “ None
of that.” Garland hesitated, whereupon
Addison drew his pistol from an inside
coat-pocket and fired qnickly. The ball
struck Garland on the left arm, a few
inches below the elbow. Addison snap
ped his pistol again before Garland
could reiurn his tire. Both begun tiring
then in rapid succession, Addison snap
ping his pistol, which did not lire. Au
dition stepped backward at every dis
charge, aud when about twelve steps
from Garland he got behind a tree, shoot
ing, or attempting to shoot, from behind
it. Tb0 seconds, it is needless to say,
scattered in every direction.
Garland’s pfetol being empty, lie callad
to Boswell to baud' him his (Boswell’s
pistol,) which Boswell did. Garland
made ready to fire the fresh pistol, when
Addison culled out from the tree: “ Un
fair, gentlemen. My pistol is either
empty or fails to fire.” Garland then
said: “Have you got enough?" and
Addison replied: ,t“ihave." Garland
then lowered tlie pistol of Boswell, which
he.had not fired, saying: “ 1 aui satis
fied if you are.” Audisdn walked up
toward Garland aud said: •t Gentle
men, lam doue for; lam shot in the
bowels." Garland said to Addison: “ I
am sorry for it, but you have no one to
plaue but yourself’ to which Addison
rejoined f “ All 1 regret fa that; I am
unable to accommodate you further."
Their friends tnen conducted them oil'
the field. Addison died the same night,
and Garland was arrested, and is now in
jail.
The spice oi romance attaching to the
meeting lends it additional interest, aud
there has hot been a duel iu years
Which has attracted so> much attention.
Miss Hatchett, the young lady concern
ed, has been ill ever since the death of
her champion, and is represented by her
frieuds as being wild with remorse. She
reproaches herself with haying caused
Addison’s death, and sevtous fears are
ehtertalned tor her life, as she threatens
to commit suicide. The feeling against
Garland is. very stroug, and he will
doubtless liave ip serve a long term iu
the penitentiary for his crime. “* ’

During the remainder of the night
I remember once that you swore that
you would get even with me for some
fancied wrong; but- you should -have
hail penetration enough to have seen,
that if you undertook to cope with Ma

of what he is saying. He suffers ex

that he saw Mr. Hill bleak down was:
when the family left him in charge of
Brydie to go to dinner. It was always
his greatest pleasure to Hitat tlie head
of the table and render the meal a
sourceof pleasure with his many jest*
Mr. Hill seemed to realize that lie
would never again have tlds privilege

his eyes when the ftunily re-entered

expressed great happiness at seeing
Brydie, and introducing him to Judge
Jackson, wrote on a slip pf'paper,
“this is one of my truest friends, and'
one of the best men oil earth, black or

ing lines to Brydie, in a hand clear
and unshaken, which we took the
liberty of copying:
“Eqgene, I believe you keep grow
ing. I am leaving this world sooner
than I expected but I am going to a
better one. I have always been a
happy man, but God has made my last
days the best and has given me long
notice that I will be called away, and
ample time to arrange my affairs in
this world for the next. When I was
prosperous and full of health and
promise of long life I became doubtful
and sinful, but God awakened me and
showed me the dangers ahead, ami,
through the blood of Christ, forgave
me ail my sins. The blood of Christ
alone is sufficient to save from sin. I
shall remember this kind visit, Eu
gene, and will let you hear from me
through Ben about it. If I get well
you will have direct evidence from me
of my appreciation ofit.”
Brydie remained three days with
Mr. Hill, and never left his side while
there. Upon his departure the Sena
tor presented him with a large pic
ture of himself, taken just before the
operation was performed that will
cost him his life. Mrs. Hill says the
Senator has been complaining for
over two years of a small pimple on
his tongue, and often said he believed
it was a cancer. She laughingly told
him that it came from a had stomach,
little surmising its dangerous nature.
Had Mr. Hill never submitted to the
knife he would have been spared liis

Out upon the lawn of tlie Castle Me-
Murtry stood a young girl just in the
springtide of youth. Tlio scarlet ri ses
that swung lazily to and fro in tlie
breath of a June morning were not
more beautiful than those which
bloomed so brightly in the peachy
cheeksof the Lady Constance McMur-
try, and her slight hut faultlessly
moulded figure, set off to perfection
by a plain morning dress ot,white
muslin, bad in Us movements more of
grace and beauty than those of the
greyhound which lay silently at the
feet of its mistress, watching her every
movement with intelligent and loving
eyes. The girl’s rippling golden hair
was simply tied with a blue ribbon;
the lovely, half-childish face was a
poem complete in itself. It was a face
that changed with every thought—one
moment gay and bright, in another
thoughtful and sad. As she spoke
the words with which this chapter
opens there was a wistful look upon
the pretty face, and tlie brown eyes
shot forth a yearnin will-I-ever-flml-
the-hair-brush glance that was pitiful
in its sad beauty.
For an instant Lord Wy verne did
not reply. Then, placing his hand
on the girl’s shoulder, and, looking
into her eyes with a grave tenderness
that told bow the horror of the scene
was pressing upon him, he said, in
tones that were almost a sob, “You
must be brave, my child; must nerve
yourself to bear a great grief.” , .
“My God{” exclaimed the girt.
Tell me what lias happened. It
surely cannot be that there is »o pie?’’
“ No,.my darling,” replied the Earl. «
“ It is riot so bad as that. Y’our aunt
is dead.”
“Ah!” said Constance, “how you
frightened me. I thought surely It
was the pie.” , .
