< which took place v ■'war was fought in

the lowlands of

8 Arkansas, Sep

ternber, 1863,when j the dashing Confederate cavalryman General I Marmaduke shot down his brother soldier, General

Lucius M. Walker. The conduct of Gen eral Walker during a movement of caval ry in defense of Little Hock led to a rup tore 1 >etween General Marmadukt' and his chief. Wishing to be relieved from command under him, he asked that his division be attached to another corps. General Walker took offense and demanded an explanation, assuming that the course pursued by Marmaduke cast imputation upon his (Walker's) courage. Marmaduke said that he bad never accused Walker of cowardice, but that he would not longer

serve tinder him.

A challenge from Walker instantly followed. They met at ti o'clock on the morning of Sept. 6, on a farm seven miles below Little Hock. The weapons were Colt’s navy revolvers, all the barrels of which were loaded, and the distance lf> paces. Both fired the first shot simultaneously and without effect. At the sec ond tire Walker fell, mortally wounded, and died the next day. The killing of General William Nelson of the Union army by bis brother soldier, General Jeff C. Davis, was not done in a duel. There was a personal altercation in the lol by of the Gault House, Louisville, and Nelson slapped Davis’ face in retort for a direct insult. Davis borrowed a pistol from a bystander, followed up bis victim and shot him down in cold blood. Several duels, born of private quarrels, were fought during the Revolution, in which soldi'Ts figured as principals. Those fought by (Jeneral Lee and Colonel Laurens, and between Generals Cadwalader and Conway, resulted directly from the war. Laurens, who was an aid to Washington— believed to have saved the life of his chief by daring bravery at Monmouth —called out Lee for using disrespectful language about Washington and shot him in the side with a pistol in the duel which ensued. General Cadwalader and General Conway, chief of the famous, or infamous, “Conway’s cabal” against Washington, fought July 4, 177S. Conway was severely wounded, but supposing himself dying he wrote to Washington, saying,“You are, I in my eyes, the great and good man.” General Nathaniel Greene was twice challenged by one Captain Gunn. Greene refused to light, and Washington sanction-

ed bis course.

Perhaps the saddest duel in the service was that in which the famous Decatur lost his life, at the age of 41, after conquer-J ing the pirates of Barbary and receiving the thanks of all Europe and high honors at home. While acting as naval com j missioner, he made remarks censuring Commodore Barron. Barron challenged him. Decatur shot Barron in the hip, as he declared he would, but he himself received Barron’s bullet in the abdomen and |

soon died.

In Europe, more particularly in France, military duels were of frequent occurrence. Early in the century rivalries and antagonisms between regiments and corps and between natives of different provinces often led to combats. So hitter was the feeling that often the closest friends, when drafted into different regiments between which the dueling feud existed, were compelled by an absurd code to light as t hough they had been lifelong enemies. In the cavalry regiment stationed at Marseilles, in 1796, the captain of one of the troops was a notorious bully. He took

First regiment of infantry in the same army and the same camp was composed al most solely of Italians. The dueling feuds before spoken of and the rivalries of nationality gave rise to many quarrels, when swords would l»e immediately drawn ami bullets exchanged in deadly combat. Many severe battles took place, some of them in the streets of Madrid, and at times a hundred or more friendly Italian ami French soldiers took part. The evil became so great that the colonels of the two regiments determined to put a stop to it, ami they decreed that the masters at arms of the First and Thirty-second—80 in all, 15 on a side—should fight it out. Soldiers to the number of 10,000 were array«*d on the plains around Madrid, ami in the center of the concourse a ring was left open for the stage of the duel. Every soldier and every officer could witness the details of t he tight. At the sound of the drum two men In fencing habit entered the ring. One wrs Ferrari, a celebrated Italian swordsman. He was tall, strong and handsome, and was opposed by one equally tall, strong and handsome—Jean Louis. The seconds took their places, a silence ensued, and “On guard!” was called. The moment the duelists crossed swords Ferrari lunged savagely at his opponent, but Louis met every thrust by a parry, at the same time caressing and teasing tin* Italian s blade. Suddenly the Italian jumped aside ami made a terrible lunge at Louis, but again with great rapidity Louis parried ami pierced the Italian in the shoulder. “It is a mere scratch,” cried Ferrari and fell back on guard. Then .Jean Louis attacked and thrust his blade into his opponent’s breast. The Italian’s sword dropped from his hand. He fell on the turf, dead. Jean Louis immediately returned to his posi tion, wiping his sword and looking around

JEAN LOUIS’ ATTACK ON FERRARI, for the next comer. Fourteen Italian swordsmen stood ready to avenge the death of the heat fencer of the First regiment. After a couple of minutes’rest the adversaries were again in place. There was a click of swords, a swift flashing and returning of blades, and another Italian lay dead in the ring. The third advanced, but .lean l/ouis’ friends advised him to rest, lie smiled at the suggestion, and the men took their places. The newcomer .pected to be aide to avoid those feints and tricks of the Frenchman that had lost the day to his comrades. He opened with a terrible thrust, which Jean parried, putting his own blade into the Italian's breast, and so on to the end. One after another 10 more fell. There were but two left. The colonel of one of the regiments requested Ism is to suspend combat. He Anally did so and shook hands with the two survivors, applauded by the whole army. From that time tights were less frequent between the Italian and French soldiers of Napoleon's army. At present, in the American military and naval service, an officer implicated in a duel, or principal or second in one, is liable to lie cashiered. The British rules are equally severe. George L.

delight in torturing one of the youngest of his lieutenants, a bright young boy, and followed it up by slapping him ami 1 railing him a liar. The lieutenant had previously shown his courage in battle, and his comrades could not uuderstand why he tolerated such insults, but he ex plained to them that he had conscientious

scruples about dueling.

Finally the colonel of the regiment told him he must fight or leave. He agreed to fight on the condition that the duel should be with pistols over a handkerchief held

The men stood up and when the captain pull ed the trigger of the pistol lie had chosen i it proved to be the unloaded one. All eyes | * *r «« w.nr JW ^ SRfw what he would do under the circumstances. Many supposed that he would not shoot at 1 all. But lie took deliberate aim, placing the muzzle of the pistol as near the captain’s forehead as he could reach, owing to the distance separating them, and fired. Then, with exultation, he turned to those | who were looking on and said, “Do you consider I have wii>ed out my insult?” I He resigned at once, and thereafter there was no more bullying in the French cav

airy service.

But the most praiseworthy and heroic episode of the army dueling field was that when the world famous master at arms, Jean Louis, slew one after another, with his good damascene, thirteen Italian i swordsmen, who, reckless of their inevita hie doom, came to the scratch in defense of feud dueling. Jean Louis'feat deserves immortality. It is scarcely known in his tory. The following is substantially the account preserved in the war archives at Paris as cited by Eugene Van Schaick in Lippincott’s Magazine for January, 1893Jean liouis was one of the masters and originators of the art of fencing. During the French occupancy of Spain under Naj poleon, in 1813, Louis was master at arms of the Thirty second French infantry The

Lyric of Action. ’Tis th** part of a coward to brood O'er the past that is withered and dead. What though the heart's robes are ashes and dust? What though the heart's mu?' be fled? Still shine the grand heavens o’erhead. Whence the voice of an angel thrills clear on 1 the soul, "Gird about thee thine armor; press on to the goal!'* If the faults or the crimes of thy youth Are a burden too heavy to bear. What hope can rebloom on the desolate waste Of » jealous and craven despair? Down, down with tlie fetters of fear! In the strength of thy valor and manhood arise With the faith that illumesit and the will that ! defies. "Too late!" through God’s infinite world. From his throne to life's nethermost fires— j "Too late!" is a phantom that flies at the dawn Of tlie soul that repents and aspires. If pure thou hast made thy desires. There's r.o kr.ghi the atreng wings of iramor | tals may train Which in striving to reach thou shall strive for in vain. Then up to Die contest witu late. Unbound by the past, which is dead! What though the heart’s roses are ashes and dust? What though the heart’s music be fled? Rtill shine tlie fair heavens o’erhead. And, sublime as the angels who rule in the sun. Beams the promise of peace when the conflict is won. —Paul H. Hayne.

RED MEN. Chiefs KiummI Fp In the Tennessee Reservation—Short Talks. The tenth annual council of Tennessee, Improved Order of Red Men, elected t he following officers: A. S. Williams, great sachem; M.

The indications are that the great ineohonee will be in Philadelphia on tlie twentieth snow moon. Wat&tic tribe, Wincheudon, whose chiefs were raised up Jan. 26, have started tin* term by initiat ing two palefaces. The tribe cleared over $100 at its peace dance. The public raisings up of chiefs this term have far exceeded in number those of former great suns, and the impression made by the ceremony on the palefaces present has been favorable to the great sachem's representatives and to the order. Agawam tribe of Tapleyville, Mass., whose beautiful wigwam was destroyed by fire Jan. 20, held its council in another hall Jan. 25, thus keeping good its record of having never missed a meeting in its 19 years of existence.
