mavne reid’s duel.
Captain Mnyne Beid, the well-known
novelist and boy story writer, once fought
a duel. During the Mexican war, after
the Am-rican army had entered the City
of Mexico, the young officers had little to
do except shi e their boots, dress well and
call upon the Senoritss. Among the Ken
tucky troops was Mayne Reid. One day
| he was shining his boots, and at the same
time repeating the lines:
“At midnight in his guarded tent

have always been great duelists. Henry
A. Wise, the distinguished war Govern, r,
fought a duel just before the breaking out
of the rebellion with Philip St George
Cocke. The diflcrence grew out of a can

both aspir d. It is said that when they
reached the field of honor Cocke under
took to jockey Wise’s enrage by saying:
‘I call heaven to witness that I am guilt
less of this man’s blood.” Wise replied:
“You had better attend to your own blood

thigh. ,
Governor Wise’s son, O. Jennings Wise,
who was killed in the rebelion, fought a
duel with Sherrard Clemens, who was a

FEROCIOUS DUELS.
In the sixteenth century duels, like the
age, were bloodthirsty and ferocious. Ev
erybody wore a sword, and fought at the
drop of a hat. Lives were a romance of
vr»r, love and conspiracies. The dueling
blade was heavy, flat, straight, double-
edged, pointed and about three feet in
length. The combatants handled it with
cue hand or two. Cit and thrust were
equally permissible, but the thrust was
made at the face and not at t e breast.
General Boulanger called Floquet a liar,
and they fought. This was a serious'
charge with serious results, but men have
often fought for the most trivial causes.
There is a story of an Irishman who called
aman out for doubting that he had. seen
anchovies grow on trees, and when his op
ponent lay wounded on the ground re
pentantly owned that it wax capers, not an-
cho ies, that he meant. One of Louis
XVII.’sbody guards fought three times in
one day, first with a gentleman who had
given offense by looking cross at him, sec
ond with a stranger who looked hard at
him, and third, with a man who passed by
and didn’t look at him at all.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN
Was once challenged by Gen. Shields to
fight a duel on account of a letter written
in a newspaper reflecting on the General,
which Lincoln claimed to Have written so
as to save the real author from the conse
quences. The latter having the choice of
weapons elected to fight with the broad
sword ; not that he was skilled in its use,
but having such a tremendous length of
arm, combined with great muscularpower,
that he calculated upon being able to chop
his adversary’s head off beffire he could
give him a scientific thrust. Lincoln waa
first ou the field, and when Shields arrived
waa bard at work with a hatchet cutting
away the bushes.
It was decided to sink a plank perpen
dicularly in the ground, leaving four feet
oi it protruding from the earth. The com
batants to fight up to, but net beyond, it,
Shields examined the swords, then looked
doubtingly at Lincoln’s arm. Colonel
Hardin, Lincoln’s second, saw the look
and urged the combatants not to make
fools of themselves, and. like wise men.
they concluded they would not, and played
a game of “old sledge”- to decide who
should pay the expenses of the trip,
pleasure that fell to Shields.
QUEER WEAPONS.
There have been many singular weap
ons selected hr duelists. A Missouri back
woodsman insisted on a combat with raw-
hides, limiting the time to half an hour’s
duration. Au old whaling captain said he
would fight with harpoons or not at all, a
proposition that bis opponent declined. A
French journalist, more fond of fun than
fight, accepted a challenge, laying: “Of
course I claim the choice of weapon. You
want to kill me. I will do my best to kill
you. Good, I have in my house twenty
loaves of siege bread, which 1 have kept for
souvenirs. We will sit down ami eat
agaitst each other. One of us is sure to
die.”; The challenger, who knew
what siege bread was, declined
to ruu the risk. General
Israel l’utnam, of revolutionary fame, was
challenged to fight a duel by a young offi
cer, and proposed that each should sit on
a powder keg with a lighted fuse in the
bung. As lie would hear of no oilier terms,
the General had his way. At the appoint
ed time the belligerents took their seats
astride the kegs, and the fuse was lighted.
The veteran watched the progress of the
burning fuse with unmoved countenance,
hut his oppenent was not so cool. He took
intense interest in the fast lessening match,
and when it got suggestively rear the
bnDg-liole, deeming discretion the better
part of valor, jumped off and ran for the
woods, when old Gen. Putnam yelled out,
‘Hold on, man; it’s only union seed!”

NOTED AMERICAN DUELS.
The four most noted fatal American
duels ever fought in the United States
were those between Alexander Hamilton
and Aaron Burr at Weehawken, N. J.,
July 11,1804;8tephen 1 ecalurand James
Buron, at Bladenaburg, Md„ March 22,
1820; Jonathan Cilley and William I.
Graves, near the boundary line of Mary
land and the District of Columbia, Feb
ruary 24,1839, and Hon. David Broderick
and Judge David 8. Terry, near the
l-sguna de la Merced, about twelve miles
* am 8an Francisco, September 13,1859.
All of the challenged parties in these
«ueU were mortally wounded or killed.
None ol the others were injured except
actresses, and a third from some articles
he had written besmirching the reputation
of the Countess of Strathmore.
In 1782 an Episcopal minister, named
Rev. Bennett Allen, challenged and killed
a Slarylander named Lloyd Delany. The
duel took place at Hyde Park, London,
shortly before midnight, and was fought
with pistols at eight paces. Delany fell to
the ground, arose like a Hash, and, totter
ing backward, fell iuto the arms of his
second, mortally wounded. The difficulty
was caused by the publication of auony-
mous articles in a Loudon paper reflecting
upon Delany and other American loyal
ists, and a subsequent publication, where
the writer was called a scouudrel and a
coward. The most interesting Christian
fighter, however, was Rev. Dr. Blackburn,
who in the early part of his life
was a buccaneer in the West Indies. Dur-
ine one of their cruises the first lieutenant
bad a difficulty with the parson, and said
that if it was not for his gown he would
treat him in a different manner. “Oh,”
said the parson, “that need he no hinder-
ance,” and stripping off the garment, added:

into the theatre. My friend and I seated Horace Greeiey, whose youngest daughter,
ourselves at o.e end of the table in the
garden.
Later in the evening Mr. Hayward
again joined us, and we entered into a
friendly conversation. At length he made
a remark to which I took exception . He
said 1 was too intimate with a certain lady.
It would be indelicate in me to mention
her name. I replied that his statement
was not true. “Do you mean to say that I
lie?” he replied, excitedly. “You can take
it as yon please,” was my answer. Then
he struck me over the head with his cane,
but the blow was a light one. We then
clinched and were separated. He was
somewhat under the influence of liquor.
The next morning I sent him a peremp
tory challenge, which he accepted, aud
the duel was the result.
We fought at Elkton, Maryland, at ten
paces. 1 maintained the honor of my
manhood, and my antagonist showed, no
lack of courage. I was shot in the right

agreed that they should fight on a small
island where the ship lay, aud that the
one who fell should be rolled into the sea
by the survivor, so that it might seem
that while walking on the cliff he had
stumbled and fallen in. The lieutenant
fell, to all appearances, as if shot. Black
burn at once rolled the prostrate man down
the cliff, but just as they reached the last
shelf of the declivity, the lieutenant re
covered sufficiently to cry out: “For God’B
sake, Blackburn, hold out your hand 1”
“Aha,” said Baldwin, “you called just
in time, for in another moment you would
have been in the sea.”
In the United States there have not been
any duelling parsons, yet a great many
preachers who carried pistols and were ex
cellent shots. There was a gifted clergy
man who died at Elkhart, lnd., in 1879, a
native of Kentucky, who for a long time
preached at the Church of St. Athanasius,
at Los Angeles, in 1868, who could whip
out a six-shooter aud knock the spots out
of the Bix of diamonds at twenty paces, or
ring the bell at a shooting gallery with a
rille twelve times in succession
WOMEN DUELISTS.
As a general thing women have been as
opposed to dueling as preachers; yet, still
there are some notewortv exceptions. Lola
Montez was handy with the pistol and ra
pier. _ Once she challenged a journalist of
the lime the signal was given. 1 had my
pistol loosely at my side, consequently
Hayward was the quickest to take aim and
fire. After my wound was dressed I was
taken to Philadelphia and laid up for a
long time. The ball was extracted three
weeks after I was shot. Hayward’s rela
tives tended me most cheerfully and kindly
during my ilJaeBS. My relations with
them for many years were of the most cor
dial nature. Mr. Hayward died down
South some years later. 1 was only twenty-
four years ot age at the time of the duel.
My opponent was twenty-five.
GENERAL JACKSON’S DUEL.
Genera! Jackson’s marriage was the
cause of a good deal of trouble, both to
himself ami the country. His wife was
the cause of his duels with Governor Se
vier in 1806, and the cause of his duel
with Charles Dickinson afterward. Dick
inson was \ lawyer and trader, a patron of
the turf, who ran horses and bet his money
on them. He was bright, enterprising and
popular, and reputed to be the best pistol
shot in Tennessee, lie had for some rea
son conceived a dislike to General Jack-
son, and when drinking made remarks
about him. The .General knew this, but
the diflereuce in their ages—Dickinson
was only twenty-five, while Jackson was
nearly forty—forbade him giving it any
atlenliou until the former s|>oke disparag-
. , - , . . - . --1 iogly of Mrs. Jackson. When informed of
lion Valley, Cal., to meet her with pistols | this the General called upon him and de-
accorei ing to prevailing rules, and upon his m and til an apology. He denied saying anv-
refusal to do so threatened him with a i tliiug: said lie must hav> been in his cup’s,

Ida, he married.
Gd. (smith was arrested on the complaint
of John Allen, proprietor of the Hotel
Hamilton, at One Hundred and Twenty-
fifth street and Eighth avenue, who went
before Justice O’Reilly and procured a
warrant for the Colonel, charging him with
obtaining food and lodging at the hots 1
upon false representations and with failing
to pay for the same. Mr. Allen said that
he had every reason to believe that the
Colonel was making preparations to leave
the hutel without settling his account. Po
liceman O’Donnell was given the warrant,
and went at once to the note! to make the
arrest. He found the Colonel in his room,
preparing his toilet for supper, when he
arrived. The Colonel was very indignant
when he learned the officer’s business with
him. and wanted O’Donnell to accompany
him to the New York Hotel,or to the Con
vent of the Sacred Heart, where he said he
could procure fitting bonds. The officer
objected. So, after donning an exquisitely
light tweed suit and a hat of soft, cieam-
coiored felt, the Colonel started with iiis
captor. At the police station he gave his
pedigree as follows: Name, Verres N.
Smith, age 48 years; born in United States;
no occupation. After being searched, and
seeing a small pearl-handled pocket-knife,
his sole property, consigoed to the property
draw r, he reluctantly followed the door
man to the cell allotted to him. •
ALL ABOUT IT.
Mr. Allen, the proprietor of the hotel, at
first declined to say anything about the
matter, but his pretty wife said she was
“really very sorry for the gallant Colonel,”
and she was told to keep her mouth Bhnt
about the matter. Later, however, Mr.
Allen had a look at the Colonel’s big bill
which lay on a table beside him, and turn
ing about said: “i don’t think I ought to
keep still about this; he had no mercy upon
me.” He then related this story: “Col.
Smith’s bill foots up $365, and some cents,
and I don’t expect to get a dollar of it. I
am sorry on account of his three lovely
children, but I think he should be shown
up in his true colors. He cauie to my ho
tel February 18 last, and when he began
running in debt, he told me that he had
sold*a fine farm down in Virginia for a
largo amount of money, and expected to
get the cash every day. Things went on
that way for a while, and when he told me
there had been a little trouble in regard to
the title of the property, but snid it would
all come out right in a few days, and re
