A CELEBRATED DUEL.

The Fatal Encounter Between Jack* ■on and Dickinaon. [From the New York,Hun.] ,T ackson’s mo it neve re wound, and the tine that finally caused his death, was received in his duel with Charles Dickinson in 1806. This fatal fight grew out of a projecte d horse race. Gen. Jackson was the owner of Truxton, a renowned race horse, named after Commodore Truxton, who, six years before, had captured the French frigates L’lnsurgenfce and La Vengeance. This horse was matched against Capt. Joseph Ervin’s Plowboy for the Nashville races in 1805. The stakes were $2,000, payable in notes which, it is understood, wore to become due on the day of the race; forfeit SBOO. A schedule of the notes was made. Truxton was backed by Gen. Jackson, Maj. W. P. Anderson, Maj. Verrell and Capt. Pryor, and Plowboy by Capt. Ervin and his son-in-law, Charles Dickinson. Before the day appointed Plowboy was withdrawn, Ervin and Dickinson paying forfeit. In paying the forfeit Capt. Ervin offered Gen. Jackson some notes that were not due. The General declined to receive them. He said that Maj. Verrell and Capt. Pryor were about to leave the country, and they wanted notes that could be turned into cash without discount. Capt. Ervin saia that they were the scheduled notes. When asked for the schedule he put his hands in his pockets hud said that he had lost it. He added that Mr. Dickinson had a memorandum of the schedule, and sent for him. Dickinson produced the memorandum. Jackson insisted that the schedule notes were to become due on the day of the race, and Dickinson and Ervin were confident that they were offering only notes that were on ihe schedule. Finally Ervin executed his own note on the house of King & Carson for one drawn by Robert Thompson, which was not due, aud the matter wits satisfactorily arranged.

S<x>n afterward Gen. Jackson heard that Charles Dickinson had spoken disparagingly of his wife. Dickinson was a lawyer, well connected, posses ed considerable property and had a large circle of friends. He was rather wild t and he hod the reputation of being the best shot in Tennessee. Jackson took him to task for his language, and Dickinson apologized, saying that if he had used such language it must have been while lie was drunk. They separated in a friendly manner. A second time Jackson heard that Dickinson had uttered offensive words respecting Mrs. Jackson in a Nashville hotel. Tlfb General visited Capt. Ervin, and urged him to restrain his son-in-law. “I want no quarrel with him,” he said, “but even iu his cups he ought to comport himself like a gentleman. My enemies in Nashville ere urging him to pick a quarrel with me. Advise him to stop in time.” Dickinson grew more cautious, but did not wholly restrain his tongue. Enmity grow between the two men.

Iji December, 1805, Patten Anderson, n warm friend of Gen. Jackson, while conversing in a store in Nashville, said that the notes offered in settlement of the forfeit on the horse race were different from those which Gen. Juckson agreed to receive. Dickinson lieard of this through one who was present. His informant referred him to Thomas Swann, a Virginian, who had heard Anderson’s statement. Swann confirmed it. A day or two afterward Swann mot Gon. Jackson*and questioned him about t(io notes. Swann told Dickinson that Jackson .said the notes offered by Dickinson were schedule notes, but that some of those offered by Ervin were not. On Dec. 28 Ervin and Dickinson called on Gen. Jackson in Nashville. The General denied that he cast any stigma on Capt. Ervin, and denounced anyinan who said so as a “ liar,” On .Tan. 3, 1806, Swann wrote Jackson, saying that Dickinson lmd informed him ot'Tiie offensive expression, and demanded an explanation. Jackson replied on the’ 7th. Following is an extract: “There are certain traits that always accompany the gentleman and man of truth. The moment he hears harsh expressions applied to a friend he will immediately communicate it, that explanation may take place, while tho base poltroon and cowardly tale-bearer will always act in the background. You can apply the latter to Mr. Dickinson, ami, see which .best fits him. I write it for his eye, and the latter I emphatically intend for him. When tlio conversation dropped between Mr. Dickinson and myself, I thought it was at an end. As he wishes to blow the coal, I am ready to light it to a blaze, that it may Vie consumed at onco and finally extinguished. The subject of the notes was introduced by Mr. Dickinson as an apology for his conduct, the subject of oonversation. In justice to Mr. Dickinson I request you to show him this, Be assured I lioid myself answerable for any of my conduct, and should anything herein contained give Mr. Dickinson the spleen, I will furnish him with an anodyne.” Swann showed the letter to Dickinson, who was on the eve of a flat-boat voyage to New Orleans. He wrote to Jackson on January 10. Among other filings he said': " Do you pretend to call a man a talebearer for telling that which is truth and can be proved ? Mr. Swann gavo me liberty.to make use of his name. lused it, aud when he asked what ypu had said I told him. The word coward is as applicable to yourself as any one I know. 1 shall be glad, when the qpportunity serves, to know in what manner you give your anodynes, and I hope you will take in payment one of my most moderate cathartics. ” On the rext day Dickinson started down tho Cumberland river on bis way to New Orleans, On Jan. 12, Swann sought an interview with Jackson, As the interview was not satisfactory, the Virginian threatened a challenge. The General replied that if he sent him a challenge he would cane him. Swann declared that if he attempted it he would instantly kill him. On the same day Swann sent a challenge by the hands of Nathaniel A, MoNairy. The latter re*

ported that Gen.T"T ~l" " MMII^,^"M^^ observations made not by any fair construe ( apply to Swann, but W uiought proper to trim his head 'to tit the cap he conld not help it. He refused to answer the note, and said he would be in town in a day or two. On the next day CoL John CJoffee and Gen. Jackson went to Nashville and put np at Winn’s tavern. They had been in the house but a few minutes when Swann walked into the room. McNairy afterward said that Swann merely called on the General to make an explanation. The General arose from his chair, cane in hand, saying “I am glad to see you, sir.” He struck Swann a severe blow with the cane. S vann advanced upon him, and in falling back to repeat the blow the General fell over a chair. He would have tumbled into the fire-place had he not been caught by some Southern gentlemen who were present. They prevented further blows. Swann stepped back, and put his hand behind him as though about to draw a pistol. A bystander warned him not to do so. At this Jackson shouted, “Let him draw and defend himself.” The General then drew his own pistol and covered the Virginian. Swann withdrew his hand from under his coat and said that he did not intend to draw a weapon, Mr. Swann then left the room. McNairy called on Jackson that afternoon, and insisted on a reply to Swann’s challenge. The General said he could not disgrace himself by accepting it. Swann’s conduct had been ungentleman)jy, and he would have no correspondence wilh him. If, however, Mr. Swann had any friend known to be a gentleman, who wou’d step forward ia his behalf, he pledged himself to meet that friend on gentlemanly ground. McNairy replied that he thought he could produce certificates indorsing Mr. Swann as a gentleman. Thereupon Gen. Jackson referred him to Col. Coffee, and withdrew. In reporting what followed, the Colonel said that McNairy observed that hiß own knowledge would not justify liis supporting Mr. Swann as a gentleman. He urged that a court of honor should be called. He acknowledged that Swann hud been mistaken in the original cause of complaint, and said that the caning was now the only thing that stood in the way of a reconciliation. Coffee assured McNairy that Gen. Jackson’s proposition was the only one that Swann would get. They separated without coming to an agreement.

Witlrin two days Jacks#n heard a report that McNairy had said that when Gen. Jackson had refused to treat Mr. Swann as a gentlemam, he (McNairy) had observed that he (McNairy) was a gentleman, and that as such he would meet him on behalf of his friend. Jackson promptly returned to Nashville and called upon McNairy, who denied the statement in toto. He called for its author, and Jackson sent for Maj. II >l>ert Purdy. That gentleman stated positively that McNairy had made such a statement to him. McNairy insisted that the Major must have misconstrued his meaning. The Major replied that the words were plain and construed themselves. McNairy observed that lie uever intended to have said such a thing, nor did he wish such an idea to go forth. “In the future,” Jackson Teplied, “let there be no misunderstanding. I now pledge you my word and honor, if any gentleman on a standing with myself will come forward as the friend of Mr. Swann, I will meet him on gentlemanly ground. ” Thus balked, Swann rushed into print. He filled a page of the Nashville Reviev) and Repository with his complaint. Nor did ho forget to use Dickinson’s missive. He challenged Jackson to prove that he was not a gentleman. Jackson’s reply was published within a fortnight. It was even longer than the complaint. It included five affidavits from men who swore that Bwann was no gentleman. It further said that Swann * ‘ has acted the puppet and lying varlet for a worthless, drunken, blackguard scoundrel.” This reference to Dickinson followed a sarcastic stricture on McNairy, who made a bittor reply in the Nashville Reviev ;. A contemptuous allusion to Col. Coffee drew a challenge from that gentleman. They fought on March 1, 1800. Maj. Purdy officiated for Col. Coffee, and Mr. George Bell for Mr. McNairy. The code required the second to shoot any principal who should fire before the word. Bell thought this very disagreeable. He said that the disgrace attending such a shot would be worse than death. The Major concurred with him, and they agreed to disregard the code. The men were placed, and McNairy sliot Coffee down before the word was given. Purdy approached him with pistol cocked, and said that he would shoot hkn like a dog were it not for the agreement with Mr. Bell. McNairy excused himself by saying that it was an accident. 1 ‘ D — you,’' shouted Coffee, who was lying on the ground thirty feet away, “this is the second time you have been guilty of the same crime.” Coffee was shot through the thigh, and quickly recovered. This duel led to another almost interminable newspaper dispute.

Meanwhile, Swann replied to Jackson at extraordinary length. He printed a score of certificates and affidavits to prove that he was a gentleman and Jackson a coward. Edmund Randolph and Edmund Carrington, of Virginia, were among those who certified that Swann was a gentleman. Before this reply was printed, Charles Dickinson returned to Nashville. On hjg way to New Orleans and back he had spent every leisure moment in practicing with a pistol. On the 21st of May, only a day after his return, he sent to the Review a scurrilous attack on ttie (Jeneral. The editor showed the hitter to Gen. Thomas Overton, who informed Gen. Jackson. Jackson rode over to the office and read a proof-sheet. Here is an extract: "In alluding to Thomas Swann he says ‘he has acted t e puppet and lying varlet for a worthless, drunken, blackguard scoundrel.’ Should Andrew Jackson have intended those epithets for me, I declare him a worthless scoundrel, a poltroon and a coward—a man who, by frivolous and evasive pretexts, avoided giving satisfaction to a gentleman which was due to a gentleman whom he had injured. This has prevented me from calling on him in the manner I should otherwise have done, for I am well convinced that he is too great a coward to administer any one of those anodynes he promised me in his letter to Swann. His excuse I anticipate, that his anodynes have been in such demand siflee I left Tennessee that he is out of the necessary ingredients to mix them.” On the instant Jackson challenged Dickinson. He did not wait for tlio publication of the letter. Before the day closed Dickinson accepted. Gen. Overton was Jackson’s second, and Dr. Hanson Catlet was the friend of Dickinson. It had been quick work. Dickinson had arrived in Nashville on the 20th of May; on the 21st he wrote his letter to the Review, and on the 22d he accepted Jackson’s challenge. The seconds immediately conferred. They agreed that the duel should be fought at 7a. m., on the 30tli, at Harrison’s mill, on Red river, Logan county. Ky. Jackson was averse to postponing the tight for a week. He wanted the matter settled before the publication of Dickinson’s letter, and suggested that the duel be fought that very night. Gen. Overton urged Dr, Catlet to change the time. The doctor said that Dickinson had not a pair of dueling pistols, and it would require time to procure a pair. Jackson denounced this as a subterfuge, At his request Gen. Qyerton wrote the < 100 too ft not* pledging Jusi3el| to give pjckiiu

rene»«w.. Dr. Catlet repnSHKWft „ -- that it would be inconvenient to after the day already agreed upon. This settled the point in dispute. On May 24 the seconds signed the following; “It is agreed that the distance shall be 24 feet, the parties to stand facing each other, with their pistols down perpendicularly. When they are ready the single-word ‘fire’ is to be given at which they are to fire as soon as they please. Should either party fire before the word is given, we pledge ourselves to shoot him down ihstantly. The person to give the word to be determined by lot, as also the choice of position. We mutually agree that the above regulations shall be observed in the affair of honor between Gen. Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson, Esq.” There was intense excitement in Nashville. The cojjpng duel was no secret, although the time and place wore known only to the friends of the parties. The publication of Dickinson’s letter on the 26th fanned the excitement. Bets were made Upon the result of the meeting, the odds being against Jackson. Dickinson himself wagered that he would bring down his man at the first fire. Harrison’s mills were a day’s ride from Nashville. On the morning of tlie 29th Dickinson arose at daybreak and silently began to prepare for the journey. His s’oung wife awoke and asked him why le was up so early. He replied that li9 had business in Kentucky, and that he would surely be home on the following day. He tenderly kissed the foad little woman, mounted his horse and galloped away, accompanied by Dr. Catlet and half a dozen of the young bloods of Nashville. It was a pleasure party. When they stopped for rest or refreshment Dickinson amused his retinue by displaying liis wonderful skill with the pistol. Once, at a distance of twentyfour feet, he tired four balls, each at the word of command, into a space that could be covered by a silver dollar. Several times, at the same distance, he cut a string with his bullet. Ho left a severed string hanging to a hickory post near a tavern, and, as he rode away, said to the landlord: “ Show that to Gen. Jackson if he comes along this road. ” He also laid a wager that he would hit his antagonist within half an inch of a certain button on his coat. Parton, whose report we have condensed, described the party as frisking and galloping along lonely forest roads, making short cuts that cautious travelers never attempted, dashing across creeks and rivers, and making the woods ring with merriment.

Very different was the demeanor of Gen. Jackson and party. Overton was an old Revolutionary soldier, versed in in the science and familiar with the practice of dueling. He had reflected deeply on the conditions of the coming combat, witli a view of saving his friend from Dickinson’s unerring bullet. They rode apart from the rest of the company and discussed all the chances and probabilities. It was an affair in which each man was to try with his utmost skill to disable his antagonist and save liis own life. At the word each was to fire as soon as he pleased. There was a chance that by extreme quickness of movement one man could bring down the other without himself receiving a shot. Jackson and Overton were at first undecided as to whether they should try to get the first shot or permit Dickinson to have it. Overton thought that as Dickinson, like all other miraculous shots, required no time to take aim, he would have a far better chance than Jackson in a quick shot, even if both tired at once. Jackson was certain that he would be hit, and he was unwilling to subject his own aim to the chance of its being totally destroyed by the shock of a wound. Finally, however, lie agreed with Overton that it would be better to receive Dickinson’s fire and take his chances. At sundown they stopped at David Miller’s tavern, on the banks of the Red river, near the ground chosen for the duel, and asked for accommodations foi the night. It was promised. The party of eight dismounted and turned their horses over to the attendant negroes. They were hardly in the tavern before the Dickinson cavalcade rode up and sought lodgings. Miller replied that liis house was full, but if they chose to remain lie would do the best lie could for them. Dickinson asked how far it to the next tavern, and was directed tcni house two miles down the river kept by William Harrison. He and liis friends passed the night at Harrison’s. tiacKSon ate a hearty supper and smoked an old clay pipe. He conversed pleasantly and went to bed early. Before breakfast on the next morning the whole party rode down the road that wound along tho banks of the stream. A mile below they expected to meet a ferryman, but as none appeared Jackson spurred bis horse into the stream and dashed across, followed by liis party. They rode into a poplar forest, and stopped near the center of a level river bottom, about two hundred yards from the road. Dickinson and liis retinue were already there. They tied their horses, and Jackson turned and approached the opposite party. One of his friends asked lnm how ho felt. “ Oh, all right,” ho replied. “I shall wing him ; never fear.” Dickinson’s second won the choice of position and Jackson’s the office of giving the word. The eight paces were measured off’ and the men- were placed. Both were perfectly collected. Strict dueling etiquette was preserved. Jackson wore a loose frock coatjlv.ittoned carelessly over his chest, and concealing, in some degree, the extreme slenderness of his figure. Dickinson was the younger and handsomer man of the t wo. He was 25 and J ackson 39 years old. Xlie,. Oenerals tall, erect figure and grave demeanor gave him a commanding air as lie stood in the shade of the poplars in the bright May morn. “Are you ready ? ” Overtoil inquired. “ I am ready,” Dickinson replied, and Jackson reiterated the words. Quick as thought Overton shouted, witli his old-country accent. “ Fere ! ” Dickinson as quickly raised his pistol and fired. Overton saw a puff of dust from the breast of the General’s coat. Jackson raised his left arm and placed it tightly across his chest. “He is surely liit, y ’ muttered liis second, “aud in a bad place, too; but no, he does not fall.” Jackson, erect and grim, with teeth set firm, raised his pistol. Overton glanced at Dickinson. Amazed at the unwonted failure of his aim, and apparently appalled at the awful face and figure before him, the lawyer had unconsciously recoiled a pace or two. “Great God!” he faltered, “have I missed him ?” “Back to the mark, sir,’’roared Overton, with his hand on his pistol. Dickinson recovered his composure and toed the scratch. He averted his eyes from his antagonist. Jackson took deliberate aim and pulled the trigger. The pistol neither snapped nor went off. It stopped at half cock. Jackson drew the lock back to its place, took aim a second time, and fired. Dickinson’s face blanched. He reeled. His friends caught him in their arms, and gently seated him on the ground against a bush. His trousers reddened. They stripped off’ liis clothes. The blood was gushing from liis side in a torrent. The ball had passed through the body just below the ribs, and lodged just under the skin above the opposite hip, All the doctors in Christendom could not have saved his life. Gen. Overton went forward and looked at him. A glance was suffipient. He rejoined Jackson, saying: ! !f He’ll want no more of you, General.” i r fhey walked to where the horses ! were tethered. Geo, Overton ww

• w nmr ox o ackson’a tun of blood. “Mt God, £ are hit !” he exclaimed, pointing to the blood. “Yes, I believe he has sprinkled me a little,” Jaokson replied. “ Let’s look at it, but say nothing ahottt it.” He opened his coat. Dickinson’s aim had been perfect. He had sent the ball precisely where he supposed Jackson’s heart was beating. The thinness of his body and the looseness of his coat deceived him. It Was a bad-looking wound. Two ribs were broken and the breas -bone was raked. Jackson mounted his horse and rode to the tavern. Upon approaching the house he went up to a negro woman, who was churning, and asked whether the butter had come. She said it was just coming. He asked for some buttermilk. While she was getting it for him he furtively opened his coat. She saw that his shirt was covered with blood. While she was gazing at the sight, dipper in hand, he caught her eye, and hastily buttoned his coat. She dipped out a quart of buttermilk and gave it to him. He drank it off at a (fraught, and then went into the house and had his wound dressed. He sent a friend to inquire concerning Dickinson’s condition, and to offer the services of his surgeon. Dr. Outlet replied that Dickinson’s case was past all surgery. Gen. Jackson then sent a bottle of wine to the physician for the use of his patient. Dickinson bled to death. The flow of blood could not be stopped. He suffered extreme agony, and uttered distressing cries all day long. At 9 o’clock that night he asked wliv they had put out the lights. The end was at hand. Five minutes afterward he died, cursing witli his last breath the ball that had entered his body. His wile had been summoned. On the way to Hariison’s mills slie met a procession of silent horsemen escorting a rough emigrant wagon that contained her husband’s remains. Jackson gave as a reason for concealing his wound that, as Dickinson considered himself the best shot in the world, and was certain of killing him at the first fire, he did not want him to 'have the gratification of knowing that he had touched him. “I should have 1 tit him,” he said, “if he had shot me through the brain,” Jackson was taken to the Hermitage. His wound proved to be even more severe that was at first anticipated. It was a month before he could leave the house. The wound healed falsely. Some of the viscera were displaced and so remained.

During the exciting session in 1825, when John Quincy Adams was elected President over Jackson and Crawford by the action of Henry Clay, the wound brake out afresh. Jackson was closeted late one night with a member of Congress, in Washington, in deep converse over the situation. It is said that the member promised Jackson Clay’s support if lie would promise to make Clay Secretary of State. This would have elected the General, as three States were voting for Clay, ' three for Crawford, seven for Adams and eleven for Jackson. Long did the Congressman plead with the old man. It was useless; Jackson would not give an inch. At midnight the member took his leave. The hall lamp of the hotel had been extinguished and the General went stumbling upstairs in the dark. Upon reaching the top he supposed he had yet to ascend a stair, and made an awkward step forward. The viscera which had been displaced by Dickinson’s ball and had falsely healed were again severed from the breastbone, and the internal wound was thus reopened. The General staggered to his room. Over a week elapsed before he was able to leave liis bed. Ho had several attacks of bleeding at the lungs, caused by the wound. Many times was he brought by them to the verge of the grave. The affection was probably aggravated by his inode of treating it. When threatened with an attack he would bare his arm, bandage, take liis penknife from his pocket, call his servant to hold a bowl and bleed himself. Often during his Presidency lie performed this operation during the nighs without any assistance. Thrice, while President, his friends despaired of his life, and during the greater part of liis term lie was debilitated to a degree that would have prevented most men from transacting business. During the first six years after his retirement from the Presidency his health was not much worse tl an it had usually been iff Washington. Every attack of bleeding at the lungs, however, had left him a little weaker than he had ever been before, and his recovery was slower and less complete. During the last two years of liis life he could never be said to have rallied from these attacks. He grew very weak and had slight relief from pain. A cough tormented him day and night. He had all the symptoms of consumption. Six months before death dropsical symptoms were developed. They increased, and he finally died June 8, 1845, thirty-nino years and nine days after tho duel.

Gen. Sheridan’s Hat.

It is only natural that great Generals who commanded thousands of men in the late war should frequently meet men in different parts of the country who cherish some incident of war life with which General and private were closely connected. It is doubtful if Gen. Phil Sheridan, whose famous twenty-mile ride to Winchester has made his name familiar to every household, ever met a man who brought up a pleasanter reminiscence than a brown-faced, hardy miner did in this city. Gen. Sheridan was idly sauntering up aud down the lobby of the Windsor Hotel, deep in thought and complacently puffing at his Havana and blowing the smoke into pretty little rings. Suddenly a rough-looking man, with face so heavily bearded that one could see nothing but the twinkling black eyes, approaching him and raising his hat with awkward embarrassment, said: “ Good morning, General.” The hero of Winchester returned the greeting, touching his hat with military politeness, and then, trying to peer through the miner’s heavy beard to get a glimpse of his features, the General added: " I’m afraid I’ve forgotten your face, sir.” The eyes of the man from Gunnison twinkled brighter than ever as he remarked : "It’s not unlikely, General; seein’s we never met but once before, you wouldn’t be so apt to remember me as l am you. It’s seventeen years since I saw you last. Things have changed since then. It was on the battle-field of Cedar Creek. Don’t you remember the soldier that gave you his horse when yours was shot from under you by a shower of canister from the masked battery on the brow of the hill ?” and the old man looked up with eager pride into the General’s face. " That I do,” answered the General, with pleased interest and a bright flash in his eye, “ I remember it welL” "I was that soldier,” continued the miner, proudly. "I remember the circumstance well, sir. When you put your spurs to my horse and galloped oft', you left your hat behind you, and I called to you as loud as I could, but you replied, ‘ Never mind the hat, my boy.’ I’ve got that hat yet, General. It’s hanging in my cabin in the mountain,” and tlie rough old fellow’s eyes glowed with pleasure. Sheridan grasped his hand and led him to a seat, and for half an hour they fought the battle of Cedar Creek over again. —Denver Tribune, A Pennsylvania school ma’am brings ugly boys to time by running then arm through a clothes-wringer.

[?]HINTS.

A mixture of oil and ink is a good thing to clean kid boots with; the first softens and the latter blackens them. “ Rustic ” gives the following directions for keeping the hands smooth during cold weather and curing them when chapped : Wash them in buttermilk in which some wheat bran has been stirred twenty hours before using, and dry them over the fire without a toweL The remedy is most effective if used at night just before retiring. Ax lowa farmer gives this method of destroying cabbage worms: Take of saltpetre and common salt each a tablespoonful, dissolve in a little hot water, and add twelve quarts of cold water. Apply to the cabbages in the heat of the day when the sun shines. If you apply with a good sprinkler, and do your work thoroughly, one application will be sufficient. To restore scorched linen: Peel and slice two onions, extract the juice by pounding and squeezing ; cut up half an ounce of fine white soap, and add to the juice two ounces of fullers’ earth and half a pint of vinegar; boil all together; when cool, spread over the scorched linen and let it dry on it; then wash and' boil out the linen, and the spots will disappear, unless burned so badly as to break the threads. How to Use Oil-Stones. —Instead of oil, which thickens and makes the stone dirty, a mixture of glycerine and alcohol is used by many. The proportions of the mixture vary according to the instrument operated upon. An article of large surface—a razor, for instance—sharpens best with a limpid liquid, as three parts of glycerine to one of alcohol. For a graving tool, the surface of which is small, as is also the pressure exercised upon the stone in sharpening, it is necessary to employ glycerine nearly pure, with but few drops of alcohol. The Chicago Tribune gives the following formula by which any housekeeper can detect the presence of glucose in sugar : “ Take a handful of the mixture and drop it into a glass of cold w ater. Stir it a few minutes, and you will notice that the caue sugar is entirely dissolved, leaving the grape sngar undissolved at the bottom of the glass, in the form of a white, sticky substance, not at all unlike starch in looks, and quite bitter to the taste. It won’t do to use hot water in your test, however, for if you do the whole thing will dissolve. The test is so simple that any housekeeper can make it, and there is no reason for anybody being deceived after discovering the fraud unless he or she chooses to be.” With this at hand the adulterated stuff can readily be known. If anybody is imposed upon it is because they choose to be. To preserve leaves for preservation try the following plan: Dissolve four ounces of common washing soda in a quart of boiling water, thgn add two ounces of slaked quicklime, and boil for about fifteen minutes. Allow the solution to cool and afterward pour off all the clear liquor iuto a clean saucepan. When this liquor is at a boiling point place the leaves carefully in the pan anil boil the whole together for an hour, adding from time time enough of water to make up for the loss by evaporation. The epidermis and the parenchyma of some leaves will more easily separate than others. A good test is to try the leaves after they have been boiling for an hour, and if the cellular matter does not rub off between the the thumb and forefinger beneath cold boil them again for a short time. When the fleshy part has been sufficiently softened, rub them separately but very gently beneath cold water till a perfect skeleton is exposed. The skeletons are at first a dirty white color. To make them quite white and, therefore, more beautiful, it is necessary to bleach in a weak solution of chloride of lime—a large spoonful to a quart of water—if a few drops of vinegar is added to the solution it is all the better, for then the free chloride is liberated. Do not allow them to remain long in the bleaching liquor or they become too brittle and canuot be handled without injury. About fifteen minutes will be required to make them white and clean looking. Dry the specimens in white blotting paper with gentle pressure.

“Dot Poy of Mine.”

One of the teachers in the pubiic schools actually received tho other day an excuse unique in its way, and written in behalf of a delinquent pupil by tfie father. No teacher could hold such an excuse not valid, even under the requirements of the new code of the Board of Education.

should take Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Wanted an Explanation. A San Erancisco husband, returning from an alleged fishing trip of three days, asked his wife if she received the fine trout he sent her from the lake. She gave him a stony glance and replied : “I received some fish, I believe, but the markets man also left word that he had gotten your telegram, but as he hadn’t enough fresh-water trout he sent you some first-rate codfish instead.” “ D-did, eh? ” stammered the wretched Benedict. “Yes, sir, he did ; and now, sir, perhaps you - will be good enough to explain—” ■Quick curtain.

Medical Virtues of the Watermelon.

Watermelon contains about ninety-five per cent, of the purest of water, and a trace of the purest sugar, and nothing has yet been discovered that, furnishes so perfect and speedy a “euro” for summer oomplaint as watermelon, and nothing else. Even when diarrhoea has lias been kept up by continued eating of ordinary food, until the disease tup* become chronic, this delicious beverage ---for it is little more—watermelon, Ukuu freely two or three times a day, has again aru} pgain been known to

work wonders, and to “cure'’ when all the usual remedies had failed. —Food and Health.

Vegetable Tramps.

One is tempted to say that the most human plants are the weeds. They are nature’s makeshifts. Germs lie in the soil and resist the stimulating effect of the sun and the rain for years, and show no sign. Presently something whispers to them, “ Arise, your chance has come; the coast is clear,” and they are up and doing in a twinkling. Weeds are the tramps of the vegetable world. They go east, west, north and south; they walk, they fly, they swim, they steal a ride; they travel by rail, by flood, by wind; they go under ground, across lots and by the highway. But weeds have this nature: They are not easily discouraged; they never lose heart entirely; they die game. If they cannot hove the best, they will take up with the poorest; if they cannot lord it over a corn hill, they will sit humbly at its foot and accept what comes. In all cases they make the most of their opportunities.
