There is no question but Laml) sets up of nights, studying how he can find offices for more workingmen. Since Lamb possessed the appointing power, there has been a dearth of skilled mechanics in our numerous industrial establishments.

Before the Express uses the word "liar" again, hadn't it better appologize to Mr La^ibf If Mr. Lamb's record is so bad as it would like to have people believe it is, why continue to tell untruths about him But Mr. Lamb himaelf will speak at Dowling hall tomorrow night. He may have something to say on the snbj'ct.—fG.z?tte. -v

The Express has said nothing against Mr. Lamb which requires an apology. It has told the truth, and Mr. Lamb should be thankful that the Express has been so lenient. It has treated hlta with greater consideration than many of his brother Democrats. Mr. Lamb is at perfect liberty to say what he pleases at Dowling hall to-night. The Express will return two blows for one.

The speeches of the Chicago anarchists who have been refused a new trial is conclusive proof that the sentence passed apon them was a most righteous one, The sentiments they expressed, couched in the vernacular of their species, are those held only by men who, so long as they live, are ft menace to society. In their blind hatred they are incapable of reason, or of discriminating between the responsible and the irresponsible classes whom they antagonize with equal fury, Public property and human life are both unsafe while it is possible for them to be within reach of mischievous executive clemency. Sheridan's immortal maxim concerning the Indian may be altered to fit their case the only good anarchist is a dead anarchist.

Rsv. Myron Reed, one of the most popular preachers ever called to Indian apolis, went to Dtaver several years ago He was equslly popular there, and has just been nominated for congress. Mr, Reed was a thinker of much force and of remarkable originality. He was some what pessimistic in his estimate of the moral situation, and his views upon liberty, justice and equality were, occasion' ally, highly tinctured with sentimentalism. But at no time did he ever stray so far from practical right and truth that he could be classed among blind leaders of the blind. His heart was right, his head was clear, and he has a knowledge of the world unusual in men of his call ins His politics are said to be hybrid growth, of Qreenback-DemocratioRe publican combination, which is no doubt due to the soil and climate of the far West. There is enough talent and virtue in Mr. Reed to go far toward leavening that branch of legislation which is supposed to confine itself th the lower house,

Mr. Lamb will speak at Dowling hall to-night. There is some curiosity to hear him. There is a desire to know why he had James Daily kicked off the Demo cratic ticket why he ignored the work ingmen when appointments were made, and why so many worthless fellows were given preference over good citizens why he denied that he failed to vote 109 times while in congress when he knew the record was against him why he ignored Mr. Knight's challenge why he betrayed the miners why he committed such a flagrant outrage on a minister and the people of the Christian Church why he has denounced men as liars when they told the truth why he spoke of the Germans as the "Damned Dutch why he said the only way to govern an Irishman was "to kick and cuff him!" why he wrote/a letter to soldier expressing oontempt'for the soldiers and intimating that they were frauds why he has betrayed those who trusted him in many ways why it is that the best men of bis party Bpurn him, and treat him with contempt, and declare him unfit for office and why he resigned his appointment as United States district attorney when the senate was about to act on his name. *$

The Gazette sets up a lame defense of Mr. Lamb. It argues that in many instances when Mr. Lamb failed to vote, that the legislation did not intereet his constituents. Every act of congress interests the people of the Terre Haute district, and Mr. Lamb was elected to attend to their interest there. It was for that be received $5,000 a year. The Gszettee geeks to excuse him on the ground that the legislation had no direct bearing on the people of the district. Granting that to be true, from the Gazette's argument a congresnnan should not interest himself in any legislation that does not have a direct bearing on bis constituents. 'Suppose all congressmen were to carry out that doctrine, what kind of legislation might be expected? Suppose a congressman from Connecticut should introduce a bill for an appropriation to erect a government building at a town in his district. It would have no individual interest for any congressman but himself, and they would all retire, some to write letters, others to take a drink, smoke or talk, and leave the gentleman from Connecticut the only occupant of the chamber besides the speaker and the clerks. Would the Gazette excuse other members as it seeks to excuse Mr. Lamb? Yet such proceedings would be

The spectacle of legislative and relig-. ioas b:dies tinkering away at a constitution, or a confession of faith, impresses one with the futility cf endeavoring to frame absolute laws, or to lay down unalterable jrticks of belief. No civilisation remains at a standstill. It either advances or retrogrades. Society enters upon new phases ccns'.antly new views are eet forth, and the liberty and privileges of every- sge must be equal to the mental and spiritual growth, and to the demands that will be made upon it in botii la?r and religion. The constitution, •which sufficed for a people still influenced by the simplicity cf pioneer manners and customs, dees not suffice for

those whose faculties hive been sharp- )*har«'t,' replied the general, laughing.' ,,k ThA fft ifiPiilant" tr\ vht CrATIened by too increased responstomties of citizenship, by education and by the tremendous competition of the present. We have tLfs illustrated with every recurring gereral afss ubly, and congress. So persistent are the demands of reformers for the extension of this privilege, the abridgement of that, the absolute expunging of still, another, that the indications of a general renovation and revision are by no means visionary. Among religious bodies, the clergy of the Episcopal church will consider the alteration of the prayer book, that it may conform to the spiritual latitude of this more liberal age. That it will amend its belief in Apostolic succes sion, the dogma of the resurrection of the body, or strikd out the obey", in the marriage service, which is an offense, now-a-days, to the more enlightened among its female communicants, is hardly probable, but whether now, or in the future, it will be forced to make these and greater concession* for the world moves and with it the institutions upon which its security is supposed to be established. The new departure.of the Andover school of theology will, ultimately, force the Presby terian

Church as a whole to diminish the stated degree and term of future punishment. We have the Congregationalists, now also in convention assembled, discussing this very question, hoping to dispose cf it definitely. This it will not accomplish, and it serves to show that there rre always live issues over which theologians will dispute with the animosity and vindictivones3 of rival politicians. However, under all lies the upholding strata of imperishable truth and justice, and these can afford to bide their time. The world outgrows its old theories. New laws and new beliefs must be framed and adopted to meet its wider liberality and its broader organization of the rights and the distinct individuality of people who cannot.be cramped within the narrow limits of a rigidly defined political or religious belief.

Congress will be converted and its fcotil saved alive in epite of iteelf. The numlisr of pi etcher candidates this year is unprecedented.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Colonel John W. Foster will oversee the campaign in the Firgt district, aided oy the county committees *and their chairmen.

Congressman W. D. Owen has been charged with dodging the vote on the oleomargarine bill. The Logansport Journal s?.ys that this, in plain language, is a lie, and that the instigator of the charge knows it is a lie, which is all that could be expected from a man who holds a federal office, edits a partisan paper and howls for civil service reform at one and the same time.

The Evansville Courier indulges in language that is coarse and unbecoming a journal with its editor's reputation for culture. But it makes an avowal now and then that is as frank as it is unusual in a paper of its political prejudice. It daid recently that it did not approve the the gerrymander that is bad leadership, bad politics and bad motives were re^ sponsible for the gerrymander. Yet it countenances and supports the very men whose bad -leadership, bad politics and bad motiveB were triumphant. Verily, consistency is a jewel.

Goben, the Democratic treasurer of Montgomery county, wag short in his accounts by about $70,000. lie made cowardly attempt to place the responsi bility on his deputy, who was also Democrat and a young man of unblem ished integrity. The bondsmen have never paid the deficit, the man still owns a handsome residence, which was built during his term of office, and he has been placed again upon the ticket. Not only was he nominated, but he was nominated by a good many votes over a man who would have done credit to the position and to the party. It is another illustration of Democratic efforts toward "reform."

GENERAL JACKSON'S DUEL.

thn solr of a Joke Ptay«d Upon an At' toriK J-Ol.i HCT£OV»*4

Prompt bens and

for 8»tlafitcUa£i North Carolina Letter in 1.Times. James Farton, in his biography cf Andrew Jackson, makes mention of a duel forght by General Jackson with Waightetili Avety, at -Jjaesboroj Tenn., in the last Century. His account, however, is Very meagre, and does .not sccord with the version ot the affair as told by descendants and relatives of C-jIonel Avery, many of whom still live in Burke county, North Carolina.

In a foot note to page 162, chapter 14, volume 1, Pdrton says: "There was a comic iuciient connected with this duel that Genera) Jackson wou'd not tell. A gentleman once mentioned the duel to him. 'Whs told you about it?"' asked the president, laughingly. "Cetera! Adair.' 'Did he tell you what happ?«ed on the ground *Nj.' 'VVell, then, I

fral Jicksou alluded, and which he re fased to relatp, is what is understood to have caused the duel, and is said never to have been made public. What it was and how it occurred has been related to ma several timfs, as follows:

In August, 178S, Colonel Wa'ghtstiU Avery and Andrew Jackson were attending court in JoneEboro, in what is now East Tennessee. At time Tennessee was still a part of North Carolina, and Jones boro was the seat of one of the three district courts held for the then Western District of North Carolina. The town is now the county seat of Washington county, Tennessee. Jackson had but re cently been called to the bar at the time of the duel, and was about 21 years of ape. Colonel Avery was much older, The two gentlemen were opposing counsel ia a case under trial in which Jackson, it is said, felt that he had_ but little chance of success. In a spirit of mis chief, probably, he determined to attempt a little diversion rather unusual in court of law.

Col. Avery sometimes rode the circuit of his courts—which embraced most of Western North Carolina and a portion of East Tennessee—on horseback, carryin in a pair of capacious saddle basjs such articles as were necessary to his more immediate wants. One thing al carried therein was a copy of. "Bacon's Abridment," one of the standard law books of those days. Jackson wa3 aware that Col. Avery was in the habit of carrying this book, and the day for trial, before the case was called, he went to Col. Avery's saddle-bags, took out the copy of "Bacon's Abridgment," and sub stituted for it apiece cf bacon of al-out the same size, wrapping it up as the book had been to prevent BUBpicion. In the course of the trial Col. Avery, having occasion to quote an authority, sent for his book. The packagc wa brought to him, and when unwrapped, lol a

l-flitch

of bacon" stood revealed to court and jury. *r Avery was a man of great dignity of character and bsariDg who could ill bTook a liberty of any kind, least of all an, attempt to make him appear .ridiculous, Turning to Jackson he charged him with what had been done and denounced him for his act in most measured terms Jackson was stung to the quick, but ap pareatly controlled himself sufficiently not to attract attention to what he did in response to the rebuke. Tearing a fly leaf from a law book, he wrote a chal lenge which, unobserved, he across the table to Colonel Avery and which was proaiptly^aocepted. The following is an exact copy of the original challenge, "which it- still in the possession •of a member «. the Avery family, and Jfrom the wording of its first sentence ?n other communication eeems to have pre ceded it:

ASUST 12th 1788—Sir When a mans feelings & character are insjured he ought to seek speedy redress you ree'd a few lime from me yesterday & undoubtedly you under stand me My character you have Injared and further yon have Insulted me in the presence of a court and larg audience I therefore call upon yon as a gentleman to give me satisfaction for the same and 1 further call upon yon to give me an answer immediately wilhont Equivocation aud I hope yon can do without.dinner untill the business done for it is consistent with the character of a gentleman when he Injures aman to make speedy reparation, therefore hope yon will not fail in meeting me this day, from yr obt st A NOW JACKSON.

COLL' AVKEY P. S. this Evening after court adjourned— The style of the challenge, its orthog raphy and its punctuation—or the want of it—are equally remarkable, but the demand is unmistakable, and the little "P. S." at one side denotes great urgency It was evidently written under great ex citement, though with a strong effort at self control, and the whole document, to use the slang of to day, "means busi ness."

The challenge is addressed on the back 'Coll' Whitestill (sic) Avery." It was found among Colonel Avery's papers,-after his death, carefully filed away and docketed in very business-like style: "Jackson, D. P. Duel, 1788."

The duel was fought about dusk of the day the challenge wm given, in a ravine near the courthouse in Jonesboro. Shots were exchanged, but fortunately neither party was hurt. Jackson declared himself satisfied, and the iwe gentlemen af terwards became warm friends. Indeed, long before the duel, when Jackson first decided to go to the bar, he was desirous to read law under Waightstill Avery, who was very distinguished in his profession, and was the first attorney general of the state of North Carolina. At ihe time ®f Jackson's appointment as so iicitor of the western district of North Carolina—afterwards the state ot Tennessee—he, on his visit to settle in .Nashville, had visited Colonel Avery at Morgantown, the latter than an extremo frontier town of western North Carolina. The date of the challenge, August 12, 1788, is six months previous to that of the earliest letter of Jackson, February 13,1789, which Mr. Parton says he was unable to find.

Waighstill Avery was the first attorney general of North Carolina. Ey that was meant of the state after it had thrown off allegiance to the .British government. Colonel Avery wai a man of great capac ity and the loftiest integrity, and his mantle has fallen upon descendants worthy of such a sire but there were attorneys-general before him in the prerevolutionary days of the ".Province of Carolina," and some of them, too, seem to have been men of high character— sufficiently so in one case'at least to have the fact recorded on his tomb "without equivocation." In the old colonial churchyard of Christ Church parish, Newbern, N. C., is a gravestone bearing the following quaint inscription and epitaph: feS

Horses and Bee Stings. It is a very common occurrence to hear of horses being stung to death by bees. All bee-hunters know that the little insects have a peculiar aversion to odor of the stable, and for this reason they are obliged to exercise great care in going near the bive after handling a horse, as tbey are almost sure to be badly stnog should there be any of. the odor "of the horse observable. Horaes going near the hive*, especially if in a state of perspiration, are partidarly sua

ssptible to attack, and the mult is a1meet invariably death. A corespondent cf the San Diego (Cal) Union offers a valuable suggestion, founded qpon his, own experience, on this point. A swam of bees attacked a valuable horse ind stung him in a terrible manner, a6 that ths animal rolled upon the ground in his agony. A smudge was made with dsmp Straw and the bees ihtis drivea away from the horse. Then the animal was gmn a good dosa cf laudanum, several tea-sooou fu.'s al together,—and in this manner the pain was considerably relieved. He soon recovered sufficiently to be taken to the stable, and was then thorcuhly sposged with a strong so'ution of common baking soda and water. This was rejseated, and the result was the animal entirly re covered, whereas if this treatment had not been adopted he would unquestionably have died. While the soda 6 an excellent resjedy, psrhaps better thing to use woa'd be a solution of snimonia- It is well known that a little of this wil qaickly relieve the pain when a person is stu?e, and it wcu'.d doubtless act much quicker on the hone than would the soda solution. However, either is good, but the application of the laudanum to quiet the, uffering animal seems to be a novelty in veteriniary practice.

A Siberian Dinner Party A traveler in Siberia last winter writes as follows: •'Our dinner party in the evening— and it was really a dinnerparty—was extremely merry. Each one laid his stores under contribution. Some brought out frozen bread, others frozen caviare, others frozen preserves, others, agais, sausages, which could not be bent even if put across the knee and pulled with the strength of both arms. Can you imagine, without laughing, the appearance presented of seven-half famished people sitting at a tablo with thirty dif ferent dishes before them, and unable to touch one exctpt at the risk of breaking their teeth Nothing could be done ex eept to wait patiently for the various dishes to thaw by sitting on them. At the close of the dinner we ale excellent fruit-, which had been kept frozen Throughout Siberia, as soon as very cold weather sets in, all fruits are placed out of doors, with a Northern exposure, that the sun may sever touch them. They are frozen through and through, and retain their flavor as completely as if they had just been plucked from the tree."

When Parsons Was a Printer. Chicago Herald. When Parsons, the convicted An archist, first came to Chicago he worked1 off and on as a compositor in the 1 inies office. His speeches attracted ome attention even then, and after awhile the newspapers printed something about him and his colored wife. One day Mr. Story, addressing a member of the etaff, said: "Who is this fellow Parsons? I see that it i=) ftated that he is a printer Where does he work? "He works here," was the quici re sponse.

The "old man" nearly fell over his chair in his haste to reach the speaking tube leading to the den of the foreman of the composing room. "Dismiss that man Parsons iir msdi ately, d—n him I" he yelled, "and there are any more cut-throats with nigger wives out there, bounce ihem too."

That was Parson's last engagen ent on the "capitalistic press," as he calls it.
