But showed Hit Bravery in the
Field —A Dying Duelitl f wrglTeu
Ilia Mayer.
In a letter written to a friend many
years ago, says the Washington Critic,
Gen. William Henry Harrison, the
ninth President of the United States,
gave, as follows, bis opinion regarding
dueling:
“I believe that there were more duels
iu the northwestern army between the
years 1791 and 1795, inclusive, than
ever took place in the same length of
time, and among so small a body of
men as composed the commissioned of
ficers of the army, either in America
or any other country, at least in mod
ern times.
“I became an officer in the first men-
tio led year, at so early an age that it is
not wonder!ui that 1 imp!icily adopted
the opinious of the older officers, most
of whom were veterans of the revolu
tion, upon this as well as upon other
subjects connected with my conduct
and duty in the profession 1 bad
chosen. I believed, therefore, io com
mon with the larger portion of the offi
cers, that no brave man would decline
a challenge nor refrain from giving
one whenever he considered that hit
rights or feeiings had been trespassed
upon. I must confess, too, that I wa.*
not altogether free from the opinion
i hat even honor might be acquired by
a well fought duel.
“Fortunately, however, before I wa?
engaged in a du.-l, either as principal
or second, which terminated fatally to
any one, I became convinced that all
my opinions on the subject were
founded on error, aud uone of them
more so than that which depicted the
situation of the successful duelist a.-
either honorable or desirable. A short
experience in the army convinced me
also that fightinga duel was not an un
doubted test of irue courage. I know
mstauces of duels, and desperate duels,
being fought by men w ho would not
have been selected, by officers who
knew them, to lead a forlorn hope. On
the contrary, J possessed the most posi
tive testimony to prove that some ot
the bravest men would not be engaged
in an affair of the kind under any cir
cumstances.
LIEUT. DRAKE'S BRAVERY.
“I present you with a reminiscence
ot niv earlier military life. I intro
duce it not only to sustain my posi-
:ion, but from the respect I entertain
:or the memory of a gallant brother
officer, long since called to receive in
another world his reward for having
preferred ‘the praise of God to the
praise of men.’ in the summer of the
year 1793, Lieut. Drake, of the infant
ry of the second sub-legion, received a
marked insult from another officer.
As he manifested no disposition to
call him to account, some oi those who
wished him well, among whom I was
one, spoke to him on the subject, ex
pressing our fears that his reputation ing pleases him so much as to hate
as an officer would greatly suffer if he friend touch his iiat to him and ad-
permitted such an ii-sult to pass uuno- dress him as “comrade.” The other
liced. day a man out at his club house saw

however, ihe truth was learned. In

Finally the valiant Ed turned up.
The battle had been won and he was

“Where have you been, Ed?” asked
Harry, as he caught sight of his for

“I'd rather a sight be a live cow

leaked out, aud when Ed returned
home his sweetheart greeted him
coldly. “VI hat would have become of
our dear country if all had acted like
you ?” she demanded. “They

She died front hemorrhage during the

Why He Left Wyoming.
St. Paul Pioneer Fre.**.
“Yes, I'm irom Wyoming, and I
don’t know of any requisition or tx-
tradition papers that will take me back
there,” said a man yesterday in the
lobby ot the Windsor.
‘•Why, what should they take you
back for?” inquired a gentleman, toy
ing with a penholder and, anon, jab
bing it through an envelope.
“There’s nothing criminal about my
leaving the territory,** replied the late
resident of Wyoming, “at least I don’t
understand that a man must continue
to reside there all his life. You know
said Mr. l*itts, neighing each word
carefully; “tie biggest bass I ever
caught with hjok and line was oue 1
took nt the Michigan road bridge, four
miles north, on White river. It
weighed nine pounds aud seven ounce..
Of course, he gave me a grtat light,
hut the biggest fight I ever h ul was in
1878, with a smaller fish, a bass weigh
ing seven pounds and live ounces, that
1 lifted from the wet at Schofield's
mill. He wa# twenty-six inches long,
and a beauty.”
“You didn’t measure the big bass
you -peak of?” inquired a listener.
“No. lie wa? not as long as the
Fall Creek fellow, but broader and
not-o active. What tlo you think of
catching eighty-seveu pounds of bass
one afternoon, inside of an hoar, with
out hook, line, net, or gig? Well, I
did that once, four miles up White
river. The dam had broken, and the
fish were running up through a nar
row chute. I threw out with my
hand on the brush at the side of the
break eighty-seven pounds in an hour.”
The crowd was silent, but Mr. Pitts
related one more experience. “I oiicp
stripped,” he continued, “and went
into water eight feet deep to catch a
six-pound bass. 1 caught him, too. I
d'ovehim out of deep into shallow
water and then nabbed tdm with my
hands. The way he did it was this:
A man had shot an eye out of the fish
with a rifie, and he directed me where
to swim and wade. By keeping on
the seeing side of the fish I drove him
into the shallow water ou his blind
side aud then captured him. There
never was a better stream for fish than
White river. But that was in the days
when few people fished. Now here’s
a great city full of fishing people, and
the >tream is fished out. Then there
are know ing people who take advan
tage of the fi -li. Once, I’m not going
to say how long ago, Sam Hanvvay
and Dick Norwood went to Broad
Ripple fishing. They were aloce,
standing on the apron ol the dam,
when Sam saw something in the water
under the apron. ‘Give urn lifj);. tu fo
llow net. Dick,’ said lie; ‘no *;.•«« fool
in’ with a hook and line.’ Well, in
less than one hour, with tint minnow
net, they lifted eighty very pretty
bass. They strung then, nicely, and
coining to town, bragged about their
luck—caught eighty ha-.-, and allowed
every one to suppose they had caught
them on a line.”

seasoned pile and the way he larruped
that youth was a caution, and he soon
cried out to his companion to assist
him.
The click, click, of revolvers was
heard as four boys started forward.
Dr. Bentnan raised up and pointing
one hand at the boys while he held the
struggling youth with the other he
called :
“Boys sit down.” Like so many
scared rabbits the boys sunk like
magic into their seats and the thrash

started forward at the cry ot the fallen
youth, but as quickly returned to their
seats at the terrible command :
“Roys, sit down!”
The b.*y was thrashed into submis

and have his coat repaired.

was a tanner.
The grandfather *f Hon. Emory
Speer lived at Cuiloden, and it was
there that Judge Alex. M. Speer and
his brother, Rev. Eustace Speer, w ho
was Emory’s father, were born.
The old gentleman was a lawyer
and determined that his two sons
should follow' in his footsteps. He had
in his office a fine law library as well
as a Theological library, and often
when he came in unexpectedly he
found his son Eustace poiing over
some theological volume instead of be
ing in the legal depths ot Blackstone.
The result of it was that Eustace be
came a preacher instead of a lawyer.
DARBY LIVED THERE.
Cuiloden, in the early days of the
State’s history, long before the war,
boasted of a female seminary, to which
the daughters of nearly every promi

State were sent to be educated.
It was known as Darby’s school, and
was conducted by the same man who
gave to the world Darby’s prophy

there’s something iu the theatrical at

hankering for escapades with pretty

“That’s just the kind of a wile I’ve

The metals of which these arc made it*
composed of 90 per cent, of coppei

if steel were used the galvanic action
from the copper sheeting would lead
to rapid corrosion of the steel.
