Another eventful week to upon u>. We
don't know what has happened elsewhere, but
there to enough herd at home to keep thiogs
lively and exulting. Two of my eld teeth
took a fair.itartwith the freshet, and sll day
Sunday they jumped around and danced to
internal muaie. and gavemo to understand
they had itrnck and had quit work for good.
We havo not .been on frieqdly terms fora
. month or so, and'I had coaxed them along
with camphor and hartshorn and chloroform,
and one thing and another, until my. cheek
was soro -inside and ' out,- and Sunday
tright lwai trying to worry through and was
doting away and got into a troubled drosm
about tho Knights of Labor killing an engine
and I thought I was tho engine and they were
killing mo. By midnight I took a notion to
sit up with myself toll morning and so I kept
busy In nursing the fire and watching the
clock and grunting a mournful, base tn tho
pattering rain. Monday I went to town on
business, urgent business, for it rained nnd
it poured, hut I regarded it not, fur I was
desperate, very desperate. Tornadoes and
cyclones would not havo annoyed mo in tho
least. I was defiant, discordant and belliger
ent. No tender thoughts came over mo but
the contrary, and at each jumping throb I had
tome silent, unhidden answer ‘‘Lay on UoDulf I
Farewell vain world! How now, yo secret, dark
and midnight hags! And thcro was war in
heaven! Hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned! And freedom shrieked when Kos-
ciuako fell!” etc. After a thousand yoara or
10 I found myaolf in the dentiit'a chair, that
luxuriona ottoman that coat tho dootor two
hundred dollars in gold and hto victims a mil
lion in agony, “I lovo it, 1 Iovo it, tho
old arm chair,” didn’t mean that ono
by no means Bat I whipped that fight after
a fashion and left my foes at my footstool.
Calm and serene I took tho five milo road to
my home in tho pelting stoim and there re
ceived the welcome congratulations of wifo
and children and about this time ths reaction
came on and I went to bed. Tho long suffer
ing, tho exquisite agony, tho swollon, larcora-
tea cheek and the great cavernous excavation
inside were too much for rao. How my sym
pathetic family did comfort and
soothe mo and bathe my head with camphor
and teed me on chieken soap—chicken soap!
Sirs. Arp, my wite, knows whst to good for mo.
And one time, when she was going away teom
home, she said: “Now, children, if yonr paps
geti sick make him some chicken soup, and if
he don’t want it, then send for mo and the
doctor right away.” Tnceday morning I was
well enough to take somo interest In water-
falling water, and flood, and water gates, and
fences. Wo know the high wator marks pretty
well at my house, and can see tho big creek as
it swells and spreads and begins to roach out
over tho bottom land and hides acre after acre.
By and by It began to inch and fhdge over
Boland’s wheat and Tom Uooro's wheat,
and they cams down to help ns watch it.
Early in tho morning I shoved tho curtain
aside to SCO tho glassy sheet that to always
falling over my flsh pond dam and tbo glassy
sheet was not thore. “Boys,” said I, “the fish
pond dam to gone.” And sure enough it was
and ail tho water and all the fish. I had
Jnat undo Carl and Jessie a nice new boat last
week and launched it and they were so proud
and so happy, and were planning to get their
mama to rido with them somo
pleasant day. This was thoir
pond. Theirs and ths grand childrens
when they come over In vacation to frolic^nd
I bad repaired it three times and fait secure.
But such Is Ufo and such to water, and it made
me i»d,.very «ad, for a little while. .
I nerer build a fish-pond dam,
But what some freshet comes kerslam;
And some wet morning when I woken,
I find the plaguey dam has broken.
The littlo mountain stream that oomss mo
andaring through my meadow and crotses tho
big road at tho foot of the hill to a mild tem
pered little branch In all ordinary times,
and to very popular with tho travelers, but a
big rain makes It rare and pitch awfully, and
in a freshet it can’t be crossed without dangor.
So all day long wo watched the people come
and go—that is, they como to the branch and
look at it awhile and go back. “What’s tho
news up yonr way,” wo hall a man. “ Party
bad, party bad,” thoy say. Joe Brown's little
railroad that goes to tho mines to mighty nigh
washed away: two trnueto gone and another a
going; and a feller that walked the track says
as how the atate road are just all to piocos,
and tbo big tnnncl is caved in, and tho oonnty
bridgo beyond Cartersvllio are gone, and the
railroad bridges are Just a trimlin’ like it had
the abakin’ ager.”
Well, the like of that excited ns a great
deal, and so Wednesday morning wa rent to
town and heard that mighty nigh all tho
bridges sll over the country had gone. That
Wooley’s bridge had gone down on a
wild excunlon to Borne, and carried
assay all tho bridres in that da-
voted city, and the telegraph lines
were all dosnr everywhere and nothing relia
ble could be bad. Thu reminded me of the
great flood of two yean ago when wo heard
tho same thing from reliable gentlemen who
had jnat come from there, and wo rosily be
lieved ter a week that Wooley’s bridge had
gone and carried away all tbs Borne bridges.
Well, it may be so this time, and we trill know
by waiting,and this provokes metojsay what I
have thought of a long time, and that to the
necessity of tho state having an engineer,
a competent one to loo to tho erection of tho
important bridge* over the largo streams.
Private individual, or even conuttcs, cannot
be trusted,for thoy will not spend a dollar more
than to necessary to put up a common struct
ure,' always too weak In its supports,and most
always too low. Quo weak bridgo Is s stand
ing menace to ail tbo bridges below it. For
yesrsand years, Wooley’s bridgo has boon
talked about and feared by
the Homans. These tears may be idle’
but they are fears nevertheless. And just so
Major Wooiey no doubt has fears of tho bridg
es that are above him on tho aamo river.
Where to high water mark and what kind of
pillaia are proposed? These questions ought
to be submitted toa state engineer and lot him
visit tho place and inspect and proscribe. I
saw a bridgo go once—anew bridgo across the
Etowahjuat oat of Borne. There were hun
dreds ot ns standing on the bluff waiting and
watching for tbo great calamity. There was no
stone pillar under tbs middle, bat long
timbers resting on a crib of rock and thoy had
not been boarded np. By and by wa noticed
a huge tree was floating down and was mak
ing a center shot, and sure enough tho small
end came right between tho supports and on
the upper side and as the log was at an angle
with the stream, the big and was carried
ronnd by the enrrent and in a moment twisted
all the prop* from under and the bridge sack
with* crack and a groan into tho raging
waters. Then cams ths wildest excitement,
for the main bridge was only a mils
below and wo hurried down the stream to see
the wreck that we thought was obliged to
come. But come it did not The floating
bridge struck the massive stone pillar joist, snd
that seemed to throw tho longer end round
and at the aamo time to sink It several feet
deeper In tho water, and it ell went under
barely touching the heavy stringers of the
bridge above. It takes a mfchtr good man to
keep down bis inward meanness on each occa
sions. Everybody was disappointed more or lesi,
for ever} body was willing to see the show. They
sard to themselves, welllt is obliged to go snd
if It goes I want to see It, and so they felt
chested out of something because it dldent go.
The first time I ever went to New York I was
very anxious to tee a great big fire, and inw
one. It got a good start snd was doing finely
when suddenly ths firemen got tbo advantage
and put it oat, sad I was disappointed, and so
were all tbs unsophisticated strangers who
had never seen a city on In. Rome charitable

Last night there tret concluded in tho
church of St. John tho Baptist, tn this city, a
spiritual retreat which has been rendered
ndtable by the sermons of Bev. Father Djyle,
tn eminent Paulist father, In which he went
for liquor dealers in vigorous English. He
took for his main text tho twenty-second par

gigantic proportions. Over 300,000 alcohol
shops disgraced tho country. If these shops
were placed side by sido in a diroot line, they
would cover a lino from bore to Now York.
The speaker said that the margin between the
use and abuse of liquor was
very narrow. Ho expressed himself as
being delighted at seeing present so many
men, who apparently, at least, took great in

Catholics should make it a religious act and
raise the standard of morality.
The invitation given in the statement that
"something shonld be dono to stop tbo river of
intemperance” is regarded by temperanoe
workers as an Indication that tho strong force
of tho Catholic church in Louisiana will bo
added to tbo prohibition forces.
Lvwcomimi, V*., March 29.—The state con
trel local option commrtteo has called a stats
convention to meet hero on the 21st of April,

However barbarous may bo tho custom of
dueling, u such, it to still * faet of historical
value that no dueling community over yet
toiled to send ont good soldiers in time of war,
I have been told by old residents of Mississippi
that the career of McClung at first stimulated
appeals to tho lex fallouts, but that towards
the last It acted u a deterrent example, Tho
dnel ceased to lie a duel in tho ordinary accep
teflon of the word and bocame a butchery.
McClung, of coarse, ran little or no risk, and
it filled the public generally with n sickening
contempt to reaiizo that the leading mon of
Mississippi lived practically by tbo sufferance
of a madman. To reftiao to light a duol with
him wu, of coarse, ont of tho qneetlon. This
was not allowed by tho code. To fight him
meant death, Hto skill with tho pistol wu
fully np to that of Dr. Carver or Bnfflilo Bill
with the rifle, difference in Weapons being
considered. On ono occasion ho killed a black
bird hopping about on tho ground 20 yards
distant.
I ones hoard Mr. Jefferson Davis reprimand
a second who boasted that he had brought bis
principal out with flying colors, to tho utter
confusion of his antagonist, by a little pleco of
generalship. He explained that tho seconds
wore supposed to bo arbitrator*, each repre
senting both psrtles, snd that it was the duty
of the seconds to toe perfect fsirneds, both In
arranging terms of settlement and on tho
field.
Ono of tho most charming and amusing lit
tle works I havo hit upon recently to by H, 8.
Fulkerson of Vicksburg, Mias. He calls It
‘Iisndom Becollectlons of Early Days In
Mississippi.” In this ho givu a description of
a notable duel that occurred In hit own obser
vation. He tells tho story well, snd I wish
to show my appreciation by paraphmslng it
for tho readers of the . The event took
place on Grand Gnlf, on tho Miutosippi
river, then a place of 1,200 Inhabitants, and a
rival of Vicksburg. It wu almost a duel of
profcuionals, Allen being a lawyer and Mars-
teller a physician.
Allen wu a tall, slender, smooth faced fol
low; Msratollei wu rather plump snd huvy
set, and wore whiskers. Allen arts married
snd Marsteller wu a bachelor. It to not
known what wuthecansooftho duel. Tho
utnal preliminaries resulted in bringing the
two together upon the Held of honor. Allen
wu excited ana vociferone, and expressed tho
absolute certainty of his conviction that he
would kill hit cnomy. He stripped himself to
the waist, absolutely nudo, and Uarstoller
threw off hto coat. As the second exiled out
“Gentlemen, tre yon ready?” Allen answered
“no,” and proceeded to explain to th* lecond
how the word should bogivon. Tho ohjoct
wu to unnervo Marsteller, who, how-
over, qnletly lowered hto pistol and
wailed. “Tho second,” continues Mr. Fulker
son, “called ont distinctly but with trembling
voice: 'Gentlemen, are you ready? Fire!
One! twol three!’ Thoy fired, both of thorn
so nearly together at tho word ‘one, that It
teemed to the bystander* to be bat * single
load report. A great volume of smoko com
pletely enveloped them,snd wo *11 looked on In
profound silence till It rosoand disclosed tho
two figures standing and looking uvagolyat
each other and each with apparent utontoh-
meat that hto adversary wu not prone upon
tbs earth and we, the spectators, equally sur
prised. Immediately Marsteller began to
sink slowly to the ground and
Allen turned away bloody and
limping in the direction of my 'porch. I
readied him u be sat down npon a log near
by. • • • x single ball bad passed
ihrongb both thighs; high up. A slngls ball
ltd struck Marsteller In tho hip and ho toy
upon tho ground, where he had stood.” Alton
wss carried home. Marsteller toon recovered,
tress and demanded that Allen bo brought
back u ho desired another shot, saying: "I
am not satisfied.” Ho went to ;hto room un
aided, probed hto wound, extracted tho ball
and never lost a day by !L This to what we
now-a-dayt call “nerve.” Peace wu rnsdo
between the two; bat Marsteller always had a
lingering desire for another shot, a circum
stance that often threatened to esneo a renewal
of tho difficulty.
Speaking of Now Orleans, reminds mo of
tho celebrated Howell snd Henry duol that
took plseo st tho ao-called Hair Way. The
various acoonnts of this affair contain so
many conflicting details that I follow th* one
that strike* me u being most plausible. Jos
Howell, a giant six fast six Inchos In hto stock
ing feet, a brothar-ln-law of Mr. Jefferson
Davis, bad been with Walker In Nicaragua,
and while there had htd an altercation with a
M*|or Henry, a wonderful character, a combi
nation of Hndlbru Caasanova and Knight of
tho Leopard. The recorded'feats of hto brav
ery put to the Idoth Leatborstocking and ail
his k!nd.The canto of tho difficult y wu never
known. On tho wayoutHowall’a second gave
bis principal tome good advice which the lat
ter rceelvjfi with "Tot, tut. my boy, teach
yonr grandmother how to reek eggs." An
Immense concourse of people had preoeoded
the adversaries to tbo field.
Both parties war* noted for their bravery,
coolness and determination, and both wore
seamed with rears from head to foot. Tho
dnel wu regarded u th* Homans might have
regarded th* meeting of two hslf.fsmisbod
Numidian Ilona In tho account before mo
tbo following story of tho duol it given;
/‘Will yon please givo mo yonr version of
the rouse of this difficulty ?” Howell’s second
asked.
“It don't matter; wo are here to fight,” wu
the sharp answer from Henry's second.
“Well, but brave men don't fight liko chil
dren, for nothing; wowaut to know whst wo
are going to fight about; If wo are wrong w*
loglze, or vice versa,”
lon't know anything about it; bat If
there to to be an apology Major Howell must
make it.”
“Bat if yon are ignorant of tbo origin and

“Walt; we will see Msjor nonry."
And off they went to tho ditch where Henry

’Welir’ asked Howell's mtn.
‘Well, Major Henry says if Joe Howell will
apologize it's no light.”
"Apologize for wbait?” asked tbs othor with
some animation.
Don’t know and don't care,” wu tho laconic
reply.
“Then there to no pomiblo any or arrsnfiing
this matter amicably. Hnpposa both parties
approach each other halfway and shake heads
without a word? Will you ass Major Hoary
and tell him tns preposition coma from oar
side?" . ,
After some discussion they consented to this
hot very reluctantly.
This time th* toconds remained folly ten
minutes by ths side of their principal. There
wu animated discussion ana much gesticula
tion among them, hot they returned and said;
“Msjor Henry say* Joe ought to apologia., and
thin they can shake band*”
“Then it means fight, I.
Wo will do likewise. Ten paces;
loaded; fire at will, and advance.”
The line of fire wu a narrow path, flanked
on rack aid* by a small ditch. Howell stood

reihaps the most celebrated dnel that was
ever fought in ths south wu the Pronttos-Footo
duol of duels. In 1833 these two wore pitted
against each other In a law suit, during tho
coarse of which Foote, who wu a vory wasp,
flung some taunt st Prentiss. The Utter re
torted with • blow that knoekod Foote down.
Tho latter then challenged Prentiss. But ono
•hot wu exchanged. Prentiss, who wu an
unerring marksman, expressed hit intention
before going npon tho field of not firing st Foote
When tbo word wu given Foote fired so
quickly that Prentiu wu disconcerted snd
pulled the trigger before ho Intended, Foote
wss hit In the shoulder, and here tho matter
was supposed to end. “Bnt whispering tongues
ran poison truth.” Prentiss, who wav lams,
had leaned upon hit cano during tho dnel and
there wu some talk of hto having used a rest.
Such an imputation wu wormwood to tho
proud spirit of Prentiu, and his restteu imag
ination worked him Into a fine fronsy ovor it.
Finally he wu told npon what ho regarded as
good authority, that Foote hlmsolf had luln-
uated some kind of Insult about tbo matter,
I’renttn wu eager to believe this trd ho did
bolieve It. “I htd no animosity against
him when I fought, bnt the next time ho shtil
not come off so lightly.” Thotornuofasocond
meeting were soon arranged. Tho attempt tn
arrest the principals wu antlelpstod. Prentiu
and hto friends hid themulves near the land-
Natchez in ordor to get tho first host,
hero he accidentally stamblod upon a
cocking main. Prentiu Joined the specta
tors ; the party were startled whon two cocks
were put down, ono nsmed Prentiss, tho othor
Foote, in honcrof thodnollsts. They werenot
t little chagrined when Foote killed Prentiu
st tho lint flutter.
Prentiu and his party arrived on tho
grounds Just In time and found not only Foote
ud hto friends, bnt an Immsnw crowd of pee-
£ lo. Among tho latter several small boys who
td climbed a tree, somewhat to the rear of
the position taken during the dual by Pren
tiu, In order to get a good view. As tho prin
cipal* were alloted their place*, l'renvlu came
limning to hto with hto cane, whloh he threw
uldo soon u ho took hto position. Morgan
noticed that bo smiled bitterly u he did so.
At the word Foote fired hastily, hit ball stri
king tho ground In front of Prentiu. Tbo
hitter timed steadily at Foote, who stood
coolly and nnflnstored. hto left arm pretied
•gainst hto side, hto right hanging
down. As Prentiu pnllod tho
trigger the cap exptodod, bnt the pistol fallod
to go off. Hto second stopped np and pat on

of which afterwards, npon trial, wont
pistols were reloaded. At tho second shot
Foote fell dangerously wounded. There to a
tradition that after tho first shot Prentiu ad

Mr. Foote wu shooting vory wild that day.
