Broderick was eating breakfast at the
.[national hotel when he read Terry’s
arks in a newspaper. There were sev-
ladies in the room, and with one of

ie «u in need of friends, for which I am
olv sorry. Had the vigilance committee
lisposed of him as they did of others they
ould have done a righteous act."
It was alleged that Broderick swore ip
ie presence of the ladies, calling Terry a
__ miserable wretch,” bnt this was
Bernards denied by Broderick’s friends.
Vrley was an intimate friend of Terry,
od he resented Broderick’s remarks ns a
*rsonal injury. For some time it looked
„ though the quarrel that had begun be
ween (twin and Broderick, in which Terry
ltd taken (iwin’s place, would wind up in
a duel between Broderick and Perley. The
Inter sent Broderick a challenge at the
binds of ticn. Ewen. Broderick declined
to secept it, and replied contemptuously :
“Sir. 1 tight only with gentlemen ot-niy
ova position." ....
Thereupon Terry took up the insulting
remarks, and sent the following letter to
Broderick:
“OaklandSept. 8, 1859— Hon. David
C. Broderick—Sir: Some two months ago,
it the public tabic of the International
Hotel in San Francisco, you saw fit to in
dulge in certain remarks concerning me
which were offensive in their nature. Be
fore I heard of the circumstances your
note of June 29, adddressed to D. W. Per
ley, in which you declared that yon would
not respond to' any call of a personal char-
icter during the political canvass just con
cluded, had been published. 1 have,
therefore, not been permitted to take any
notice of those remarks until the expira-
liuu of the limit Sxcd by yourself. I now
uke the earliest opportunity to require of
you a retraction of those remarks. This
note will be handed to you by my friend.
Cilhoun Benbam, Esq., who is acquainted
with its contents, and will receive your
reply. D. 8. Tebry.”
Several letters passed after this, and it
looked is though the affair might end in
mere quibbling over the meaning of the
words employed by Broderick in his denun
ciation of 'ferry. Broderick would uu
donbtodly have been pleased at such
suit, but Terry was loaded for bear,
nothing short of blood would satisfy him
A letter which, while forrnnl, was also
mcoacing, aroused Broderick’s auger, nUu
be tent a very itifi nnd uncompromising
reply. The judge sent a challenge, making
Mr. Heuham his ngent, and it was ac
cepted by Broderick, who rc erred Mr.
Benham to his friend, the Hun. J. C.
McKibbcn. The arrangements were made
and written out. The time was set for 1
o’clock on the morning of Sept. 12. The
‘pot at first selected for the en
counter was at the boundary lines
dSin Matc-o and San Francisco -counties,
but it was altered to the farm adjoining
tbe Lake House ranch, occupied by a Will

dueling pistols, to be used at ten pees.

followed. Benhum searched Broderick
closely Cor concealed mail, but McKlbben
only tout lied Terry’s waistcoat and bowed.
Broderick bad lost some of It is composure.
He was nervous, and twitched at ihe skirts
of his surtout. He and Terry had taken
their positions. Terry stood erect and
firm, apparently indifferent to everything
but his thoughts. The pistols were cocked,
and they were delivered to tne principals.
Benliain slowly read the conditions, and
Mr. Colton gave the instructions as to the
firing. The men held tbe weapons muzzle
downward.
“Gentlemen,” said Colton, “are you
ready?”
Broderick replied after Terry, saying:
“I am ready.”
There was a report from Broderick’s
pistol, followed in a second by Terry’s.
For some reason Broderick’s pistol ex
ploded before it had been brought to a
level. The bullet buried itself in the
ground a third of the distance short. Had
it gone all the way it would have struck
its mark, for it went in a perfectly direct
line. The report of Terry’s pistol had
hardly died away wlton Broderick was
seen to start. He turned half way round
and grasped at the air as though trying to
recover his balance. His head dropped
and he fell flat on his back, his. pale face
upturned to the sky. He lay on the
ground while Colton and Haskell sup
ported his head. Dr. Von Loehn, his mr-
geon, was too agitated to be of service.
The blood spurted from the senator’s
wound, and Von Loehn did not seem to
know how to stop it. Mr. Brooks finally
1*1 -t-t! forward, and, in the name of
Judge Terry, offered the services of his
surgeon, Dr. Hammond. But it was of
little use. The ball had entered the right
breast and passed through the upper lobe
of the left lung.
Davis, the owner of the ranch, Igho had
been a silent spectator of the duel, started
to his feet as Dr. Hammond began cutlini
away the clothing from the wound, am
shouted excitedly:
“That is murder, by God 1”
He moved toward Terry but was re
strained. It was fortunate that this re
mark had been heard only by the Broder
ick party, for there were plenty of friends
of Terry there all armed to the teeth.
Terry had not moved. His arms were
folded, with the muzzle of a pistol project
ing behind him. He was erect as ever,
and a look of inquiry upon his face, as
though he expected a call for a second
shot. His coolness and nerve wtre re
markable even in that gathering. As he
fired he was heard to say: “Ah! I struck
him a little too high.” Assured that Brod
erick’s wound was fatal he started for his
carriage and was followed by hisfritnds.
They drove rap ! dly to San Francisco, and
from there Terry went to his ranch nt
Vtockton, whence he quietly awaited
events. He was arrested (here on Sept. 23
by two detectives from San Francisco, and
was put under $10,000 bonds.
Broderirk was removed from the duel

an hour after he was shot, and was taxen

They killed me because I was opposed

The excitement in San Francisco nnd
throughout California was tremendous. So
many misstatements about tiie duel were
made public that Mr. KcKibben and Mr.
Colton, two of Broderick’s seconds, pub
lished a statement over their names cor
recting the imputations of unfairness. It
was still believed by many, however, that
Broderick fell a victim to a political plot.
The administration at Wa-hington
hated and feared Broderick, nnd
ii was well Known hs was
regarded as a stumbling block, to their
plans in California. The evidences of
mourning in San Francisco were of the
most extravagant nature. The body lay
in state in the Union hotel and ninc-
tentlis of the population' struggled to view
it. Flags all over the city were at half-
mast. Nine thousands persons, a large
number for San Francisco in those day$
listened to the fnneral oration delivered by
Col. E. D. Baker. Htrango to say, consid
ering the speaker and the audience, one of
ita principal features was an attack on
dueling. More than 3,000 persona followed
the hearse on' foot, while the crush of car
riages was tremendous.
l /f course, Judge Terry was acquitted,
although the coroner’s jury placed the re
sponsibility of Broderick’s death u|>on hit
shoulderH. The immense nerve of the man
was shown in the wsy he acted after the
duel. Although ho was perfectly well
aware of the general hatred he had in
curred, he did not draw back from the
public gaze in the slightest manner. His
imlifl'ereuce to public opinion was dis-
plsyed by bis later marriage to the woman
whom the world looked upon as Senator
Sharon’s mistress. Neverthejess, ho has
been of great service to California. The
adoption of the new state constitution,
which abolished the monopoly of the rail
roads and the big land owners was largely
due to bis tremendous energy.
does. Have I not heard you boast, my
friends, that American machinery was the
best in the world? Hare I not heard you
boast that American merchants and manu
facturers were tiie shrewdest and most
energetic on the face of the earth? Have
I not heard you affirm again and again
that American workmen were the most
intelligent and the most productive work
men under the sun? [Applause and cries
of ‘That is a fact.’]
“Well, if all that is true, why should the
American manufacturer, the American
merchant and the American workman be
compelled to confine his energies to supply
ing the wants of the United Slates alone
when a thousand millions ot other people
stand ready to buy your products. What
stands in the way ? It ia our absurd tariff
on raw materials. No community in
America knows the truth of this more
thoroughly than the people of Newark.
You make here every year millions of
dollars’ worth of leather goods. Well, in
in 1872 we put hides on the free list. Our
republican friends went into hysterics.
They yelled. ‘There won’t be a beef animal
in America in five years.’ They now howl,
‘If you make wool free, the bleat of the
lamb will no longer be heard in our’land.’
Well, what wbb the result of putting
hides on the free list ? It is this
Between 1872 and 1880 the amount of
capital invested in the manufacture ot
leather and leathern goods increased by
$23,000,000, while the production of these
goods was $76,000,000 more than in 1872.
Not only did we supply our owu market,
but in 1880 we exported $10,000,000 worth
of leather and bather goods. Not only
did free hides enable the American manu
facturer tot ontrul the home market, but
it enabled him to export largely, thus giv
ing employment to .hundreds—yes, thou
sands— more men. [Applause and 'That’s
gospel.’] Yes, I know it is gospel, and I
know it any party should propose to re
store the duty on hides it would kill itself
forever, as far ns New Joey is concerned.
Is not that gospel, too?” [Applause, and
shouts from all ;pa<-ts of the ri
that is a cold fact.’’?
‘N- w, my frieuds, you see that free
hides did not destroy the beef industry in
tii-
ntry. Un the contrary, there was
i rapid a growth of the business of
cattle as has been seen from 1872
this country,
never so
raising cattle
to the present time. But my friend Maj.
Bjtlerworth says: ‘Take the tariff off.of
wool and you will kill the sheep-growing
business of the country.’ Can our republi

I’ll wager that there is not a pair of for

does not the American woolen manufac

Why is that? It is btcatiM tha American
shoo manufacturer gels his leatner as
cheap as the foreign manufacturer.
There are, however, hundreds
suits of clothes here to-day made
from foreign cloths. Give him free wool
and instead of our importing $4-1,000,000
worth of woolen cloth wc will make it
here. This would give employment to 80,
0- 0 people, and counting five persons to a
family, this would mean that our woolen
manufacturing industry Would feed 100,000
more mouths than it now does. I tell you,
my friends, the Republicsn party is taking
the bread out of the mouths of the poor.
[Great and prolonged applause.]
“We fcave you free raw silk, and in a
few years the silk manufacturing business
of your state has grown from nothing to

make the silks which I see worn in profu
lion to-day by the ladies who have done
my friend Maj. Butterworth and myself tiie
honor to cou e here. Has not lice raw silk
benefited the city of Newark?
[A voice from the audience: ‘Yes, in
deed!’]
“Well, it seems to me that the results of
free hides and free silks should encourage
us to carry the theory of free raw materials
a little further; don’t It to you? It is not
a question between free trade and protec

although engaged in drinking this beer,
they go into the convention and pass what
our prohibition friends call tiie “catnipper

ublicans declare that the first
duty ot all government is

morality of the people and the purity of
their homes, and therefore they will make
cordial and well directed efforts to pro

moral missionaries, and they have been
talking about morality these many years,
and they have been zealous in propagating
their faith. The apostles, also, you may
remember, when ordered over the world,
were also zealous in raising the sick and
casting out devils, and saying after their
master: “Ho, every one that thirateth,
come yc to the waters and drink, without
money and without price.” Hut tlieso

Now, then, my friends, I will tell you
the democratic policy. It has been placed
in the message of our President (applause),
and is to be carried out su -staniially by
the bill which Ita* been reported to and
passed by tiie House and itns been sent
to tiie Senate. It means that there
-dial! be a redaction of taxation upon
food, clothing and the implements of
labor. But it means more than that. It
means that we shall have tiie raw mate-
mis of our manufactures brought to u
with no taxation at all. [Applause.] It
means that tile manufactured g tods that
we are importing into tliia country, made
by fr.rebrr. labor, aha!! bo made a*, home by
our own people. [Loud cheering.] It
means that these raw materials that are to
be brought into this country will call for
the employment of perhaps 100,000 more
laborers in this country, aud that, instead
of having our machinery stopped for one-
third of a year, it shall go one and that
mere shall be constant employment aud
constant demand for it, which means a
better rate of pay. [Great applause.]

bisters of St. Mary are prepared for their
work. Here they renounce the world and
take the three vowa of poverty, cha.tity
and obedience.
The order numbers in all about sixty
members. Many of them are women who
were wealthy and who have followed liter
ally the injunction to give all their pos
sessions to the poor while they served the
bidding of the faith they had chosen. All
are women of education and rare attain
ments. The order is the outgrowth of that
of the Sisters of the hqly communion,
which originated ia England. Young wo
men who pledged themselves to labor in
this order in New York took no vows as
perpetuals. It was, therefore, found diffi
cult to maintain the sisterhood upon the
high standard of self-denial and austerity
that its most devout members thought
necessary. - Stepping beyond it “Mother
Harriet” conceived the idea of an order
that should belong strictly to this country,
and to enter which the world and
all its allurements must be left
forever behind. Successfully has she car
ried out this conviction. At Peekskill,
in connection with the novitiate home, is
a school for young women under the direc
tion of the sisterhood. The educational
advantages afforded are very superior, and
the institution has won a wide reputation
for excellence. Scarcely behind it in this
point Is the seminaay at Kenosha, super
vised by Sister Margaret Clare. Another
school for girls is located at Memphis, and
is regarded os one ol the leading educa
tional institutions of the south for young
women. A noteworthy charity effected in
Memphis by the Sisters of St. Mary ia a
school for colored orphan children.
Greatly beloved nnd revered are these
devout women in this city. Bravely did
those of their order keep watch and guard
over the stricken when pestilence swept
over it. When yellow lever claimed it
for its owa these women went from bedside
lu bedside, among rich and poor, black
and while, until the dread plague one
by one laid them low in their graves. Not
one of the noble hand of nitr-cs was left.
Beginning with the superior, a diary
of terrible events of each (lay was kept. It
passed from hand to hand as deatli came.
Sometimes the words are faintly drawn by
- .Jv.no ajatas-j who. u long aa aha had
strength, kept the awful account of Hint
dread time of distress. Then the writing
U taken up again strong and clear by a
hand in whose veins the awful scourge has
not yet begun to burn. Then it grows
fainter; mayhap the sentences wander
until, here and there, a sentence stops
with a great blur. Thus did the blessed
Protestant sisterhood labor and die in the
dread hours of darkne<s when Memphis
waa shunned by ail the world. When the
last of the little band resident there had
given up her life volunteers from the
mother house took their place. So ready
were the Sisters of St. Mary to forget their
own safety, so many were the volunteers,
that Mother Harriet was necessitated to
restrict the number. And they were
daintily nurtured women, all. Many had
left luxurious homes to adopt the habit
and hood.
Not only have the good works of the
Sisters of St. Mary during the yellow fever
epoch brought the order into prominence,
but their labors in New York city and
elsewhere have become part of the history
of the church. The first sisterhoods ot the
Protestant faith sprung into life immedi
ately alter the revival of Oxford in 1833.
The originat order waa founded by Nicho
las Fcrrar, the friend of George Herbert,
at Little Gidding. Miss Sellon, a notable
womaD of the day, was at the head of the
body. At present the English ai-terhooda
areiaid to number over 200 orders. Some
of them are the most cloiitcr like where
even the per|K-tual adoration is practiced
The rules that govern the lives of the
religeuse are rigorous and severe. Many
of them are pledged to ccntinual work
among the poor and ignorant. t Others are
nursing sisters. and still others,
like those of the order of St. Ma
ry, give their service most largely, to
educational houses and spiritual mission
ary work. In New York a.very extensive
reformatory work ie successfully carried
on by the Staters of St. Mary. They hare
also a home for old men and aged couples
and have charge of St Mary's hospital.

and likewise a dispensary for the destitute.
