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 society ought to get op fires and cyclone* and earthquakes Jut ter tat gatlficatloa of thou sands of folks no mooner than I am. Bat I want there freshet to let my fences snd water gates and bottom land alone. We are all mighty mean and selfish shout somo things, snd that rame old prayer would fit ns; “Ob, Lord, bless me and my wife—my son John and hto wife—ns four and no more.’’ Bat then there comet over ot tome redeeming traits, and when onr nabort suffer some great caltm ity wo are ready to help and do holp with wil ing hearts and open pockets.

SOUTHERN PROHIBITION POINTS New Orleans, La., March 29.—Recent events have conspired toward making the arils of Intemperance a prominent topic in this shite. Tho strong Catholic population of this state, recruited mostly from tho continental races who havo brodgbttheir wine drinking habits with them, has stood tn tho way of By way of statistics, Father Doylo said that fog the past year in tho Unltod f ' “ > $1.10 per capita spent i, • *2.10 per purposes, their origin in strong drink, havo had ths ef fect of arousing tho Catholic priests to tho necessity of a special warfare against the rum power. 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 agraph of chapter S. of Isaiah; “Woo onto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mlnglo strong drink.” Hassid that man was a being with a aonl and bod} and that it Was God’s will that only tncl things as were essential to thoaoul and bod: should bo done. Thcpractlco of a virtuous Hr gave tho body strength, and consequently tho tool also. of statistics. Father Dov States thoro tor religions . . . ... . capita for education and $17 per Ha for drink. The liquor traffic has assumed 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 terest in the cause. He thought all good 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, to organise for united action in tho campaign of this summer against the liquor interest. In tn address tho central committee warns temper- tnce people against tho politicians. Tho ad dress to over tho signatures of William W. Smith, chairman, and Georgo W. Hawxhurat, secretary, and appended to tho call are the names of the officers of tho local option alli ance, distinguished citizens of the state, and prominent minlitom of the gospel of the dif ferent denominations. Biciwono, Vt., March 20.—Yesterday or- cry barroom in ths city was kept strictly closed. Previous notice to that effect had been given. Up to midnight Saturday the bar rooms were filled with streams of men having their pocket flasks flUlod.

Tho marshal received complaints from the tomperanco pcoplo of Lako that thore wu more drunkenness, more hoodinmlsm and more ruffianism thin when saloons were remitted; that there were no places where iqnor wss told, and yet barrels of it wore consumed every month. This monitor state ment led to an investigation. It was discov ered that whisky wu shipped from Memphis in bottles, jap and kegs, and In considerable quantity, to Lake county, bat the mystery wu how it found its fiery way Into tbo throats of tho people. Tho Invostlption resulted in the discovery that there were uloon* in Lake county, ahontsoven In all, and that thsv were unlicensed, and moved about from place to place. No rent wu paid, no shelter being necessary, There wu no bar, and yet plenty of bottles. The proprietors or these gin milts carried their saloons about with them. Their coats war* provided with pockets, sewed in the lining, each pocket containing a flask. If a TiptonvlUlan happened to bo dry It wu only ncctisary for him to walk along until he mot the most corpulent appearing man he over saw, wink hto eyo and walk behind this nearest house. In a twinkling a flask and a lineup would be produced, two or three fingers swallowed, a dlmo banded over, snd the uloon moved on In search of other dry men.

GnuHisnono, Gt., April?!.—[Special.]—Af ter probably th* most exciting contest m the history of the town, th* election today result ed in a victory for the wet ticket by a majori ty of twenty-foor. Tho prohibition question was made the only Issue In tbo municipal elec tion which wu bold today. The prohibition ticket wu headed by Hon. Vt. H. Branch, and the anti-prohibition by Hon. H, T. Lewis, for mayor. The fight wu cltarly a county one, for htd tbo prohibitionist* won it would have made Greene county a dry county. The county voted on tho local option question in December tost and went wet by a majority of leu than eighty votes. Tho county officers raised the county license to figures which vir tually excluded the sale of liqnors outside of the limits of Greenesbore, over which it bad ne control. As the town wu In the hsnds of snll-prohlbltlonlsta, a vigorous campaign wu conducted to overthrow them In tho election held yesterday.

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 canto of this difficulty, how can you point out wrong?” “Walt; we will see Msjor nonry." And off they went to tho ditch where Henry •st leisurely resting. In leas than throe min- ntrs the Nicsregnsns wore back. ’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 •lx feet a*Ten inches in hto boots, and con trary to advice, wore white panto and an alpaca coat, making him a dangerously con spicuous target. Th# command wu given: “Gentlemen, are yon ready?” Joe, who wu facing the woods, aniwsrsd firmly “Beady!” hut kept hto eyt looking steadily aiongthobsml of bit cocked pistol. Henry, in n nonchalant fashion, threw hto bead on osss aid*, his pistol dangling ; hto arm, aad in a lazy tone Id “Beady I” Th* word wu than given, “Fire!” Both raised simnltaneouly, fired and missed. Howell cocked with hto right thumb and fired again before Henry wu ready tor hto second shot. Howell a ball piorced Honry’s left forearm, when Henry again fired and misted, Howoll now came In with hto third mry the i lit right at Howell' •hot which threw up ll’s feet. Ths latter then tdvanoed one step, snd taking deliberate aim, pulled the trigger. Seeing that ltenry TowoTl’s r—' - Seeing wss done for, nowell's second rushed np snd threw up Joe’s pistol with bis hand. Tbo shot flew away np in the air, that certainly would then and thore havo killed Uoury, The othor aide having cried “stop,” accord ing to agreement in case of eithor party being badly wounded, uttered shrill cries of “Foul, foul!” snd immediately whipped out their re. volvert. Then followed a aoone of confusion, and for a long time it looked u If a wholesale duel would follow; bnt tho crowd interfered and prevented tho fight. The wonndod man wss taken to the Hslf-wsy bonae, whore he remained some weeks before ho could botrsns ported to tho city. 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.
