.., THE TEXAN DUEL. BT L 5L ieoemramiagpn | b i o * “Put down that knife, or the-cotise-quences’ ‘beé upon your head. Pat’it down, I say,” and the hand of the speaker slowly and deliberately -raised BEAVOIREE, v o e e It was a very anxious moment for the lookers-on. 'Oneé “of the combatants was a’brawny ruffian, upen whose face was stamped all the evil passions of the human race.’ Black-haired, black-bearded, black-eyed, and strong enough was he to have felled an ox with a single blow of his fist. The other was a pale, slender, intellectnal looking young man—boy, almosts—with light 'curls and ¢omplexion and blue eyes. L /

"The scene ‘was in the little town of Washingfon, on the Brazos river, Texag.and the time midnight. g Do yer know who yer are talking to, boy!” was the coarse and uneducatéd answer of Luke Bouton, ‘than whom no gambler in the vicinity was more detested and feared. = ¢

A man to whom (and not without reason) was imputed every crime—even that of murder; who was au unfafling' shot with the pistol and rifle, and unmatched in skill with that sirictly border weapon, the bowie knife. A short residence in that locality had given him a repuiation 2z a duelist, for the long grass of the Tam--pas had covered the forms of two that, had fallen by -his- hand. Wihere he ‘came from: no ‘one knew; and he was particularly reticent about his former life. * Still it was: whispered—behind his back, for no one was foolhardy enough to say it to his face—that he was one of the very few who escaped from the terrible justice of ‘“Natchez under the Hill,” when the outraged citizens awoke in their wrath aud took gpeedy vengeance in their own hands. Be. that as it might, he had already earned a name guffic’ently bad to need no additions, even where -the gréat majority of crimes were looked on lightly—making Texas in its infancy the paradige of sconndrels. o o : O¥ ‘the other, his boy antagonist, even less was known. - It was but two days since his arrival, and he had come ‘on horseback and ‘alofe; Of ‘his business he had nothing to say, but his snave manner, and quiet,.gentlemanly deportmenthad already made him . friends among the better | portion of the sparse population.. ~ : . . .. " Very much to their surgxise_,}therefore, 'was it that they had seen him enter into a contest ‘at cards with the srofessio‘nal ‘gamester Bouton, confient l;,bat. he would either be cheated or bullied out of his money, in case he should be ' successful, which was al-, most beyond the rapge of possibility.. - But for two ,l;xrs the ‘game had been progresging, the gambler getting more- angry at every deal, and the: youth keeping perfectly cool and breathiug words, as if his object was still further to provoke him, If it was his. purpose to do so, he was more than suceessful, for Bouton had .suddenly sprung. to his feet and: drawn his heav‘{ knife, with oaths upon'his lips, and murder” ',ﬂ‘iﬂ“ing Arom his ~“Put_down that knife,” ‘again repeated the young man, _MMairk;g;White-. man, ag he had given all to understand: ‘was ‘his name. “Put it down. No one but a coward. and a cheat would attempt to use such fatal argument in a game of chance.” : “Er cheat! coward !” thundered Bouton, with all his wrath aroused.— “By heaven, I'll make ‘yo eat yer Wwords.n i o T S

“For fear you do not fully understand, I will repeat them.” “Ye dare not!”’ was hissed from the more than tightly compressed lips. . “Coward | cheat! ‘I daresay any-' thing to one like you.” = =~ - ‘“Coward,” ergin!" “and his 'knife flashed still more wildly around. g 1B van B others interfered. - They ‘ paged.[lc_t_ﬂ&,for the professional and brutal - gamester, .but they did for young Whiteman, and could not but be surprised-at-the-almost sublimity of ‘hid: eoolness and - bravery; “éven thotigh 'he' was ' eourting His own dehth. ift}’h?'.“ ‘;‘::‘ : ‘ e ~-.,»';- 4, .

But you shall have no excuse,” and Mark ‘Whiteman spat full in the face of the blood~staine?l gambler. '« In an instant all was confasion.— Bouton sprang forward with his knife raised, and would | have cut down the insulter with a blow. But others did the same. They realized that blood must be shed, but they insisted on “fair glay.” Even in this horrible code of Texas duelling they demanded that the rules of honor (?) should. be strictly adheredito. e _“lf you must fighy,” said an old ranger, “and I see no. way to avoid it now, it: shall be all open and above board. It’s your choice, Bouton.— Pick your weapon and stand np and fight it out like men.” o 4 ¢

“Pistols, then—ten paces-—word,” was the gruff answer. e _“Are you patisfied " was asked of W hiteman. ; Ly “Yes—perfectly. Let him take his revolver—l have mine, We will com~ mence firing . when &e ~word is given and continue to advance .and do so until one or both fall.” . . A few steps from the house brought them to a spot where' the green grass and bright flowers had been more than once stained in such encounters. The men were placed, the weapons prepared, and the fatal word was about to be given, when Whiteman called the ranger (who:was acting in the capacity of second to him,) and taking his hand within his own, whispered : Cr MR Y > “You appear to be a kind and truehearted’ man, and I wish to agk a fawor Ok Foul’ . o s iy

. “Speak on. Anything I can do. shall be done. Just say the word and I'll-take your place.” by . “No, not that! Bat if I should chance to fall, promise that you will® see me burried just as T am. Do not’ let my dress be disturbed in the least. Roll me up in a blanket, and let no one pry around me. Will; you promise me that ?”’ : = i “It .is @ strange :thing: o ask, but Pl do 1.7 ‘ (o IHEH J i redd g o atbauy wil “Yes, I"ll do it,” repeated the ranger, as he slowly ‘retreated, mutterin to himgelf, “and if you do''fall I’ﬁ' send a bullet through the skull of him that killed you, and. may the good Lord forgive me if it is murder.” | . “Now, Luke Bouton,” continued Whiteman, “I am ready. Yet one word,” and he stepped to his side, and handed him a miniature. “Look at this before you die.,” = o]

“I’ll. do-it now,”’ and with trembling fingers he undid the clasp—then let it drop from his hands as if it had been a serpent, exclaiming, “No, I'll not fight you. Take him away some one—take him away, for God’s sake.” “Not fight # - Then you’ll dielike a dog!” and Whiteman raised his weapon and motioned for the word to be given. . : : It was some time, however, before his request was complied with. The sinewy frame of the Ea’m'blez trembled like a dry leaf in the autumn wind; all the I;:color lj::d left h{a face, it was like | ashes; his pistol was pointed muzzle downwarfl? ‘and shook?;z:nhis hands. (At length he succeeded, by a mighty' effort, in calming ‘himself.— He braced " his nervei—glared wildly around—and with all the calmness of despair, stood upon his guard. - Thte you ready? Both ready 1" WakAEeR . U e

“Yes,” came simultaneously from two pair of lips. - = ik 4‘(¥ne.——tg’wo—three-—ﬁre i ‘ The report of the pistols cut the lasgt word in: twain. The seconds rushed forward and lifted the men up again, for both had fallen. ‘One, how-| ever, would never breathe more. The gambler had fought his last duel—had’ gone to his final account with his heart 'bullet-cleft. Whiteman, too, was dangerously wounded. With his’ breath gubbling forth through blood, he called the ranger to him and asked him for the miniature., It was given him—the fair face of a young man.— He covered it with bloody fingers—whispered, " “Let it be burried with me,” and he had ceased to liveii i/ With,_ tearful eyes that form was prepared for the grave; the ranger insisted -that his promise to the dead{ should ' be fulfilled to the letter.” All, however, saw sufficient to satisfy them- 1 gelves that he who called himself Whiteman was a young woman. And years. later they found'a clue to the mystery. It wasa wife who had then revenged the murder of her hnshand — murdered for saving her from dishonor!.

'LATE = SLEEPING-NEW PHILOSggf.u is hiay, as 0o pecoOmes ‘mbre concentrated, and its pursuits ‘more eager, short sleep and early rising becomes impossible. We take more sleep than our ancestors, and we take more because we need more. Six ‘hours sleep will do*¥or a ploughman or & bricklayer, or any man who has no other exhaustion than that produced by manual labor, and the sooner he takes it after his labor is over the better; but for a man whose labor is mental, the stress of wgoee work i 8 on his -brain - and nervous system, and who ig tired in the evening with a day of application, neither early to bed nor early to rise is wholesome. He nends leiting dowr to the level of repose. The longer the intervals be- ' tween the active use of his brain and his retirement to bed the better his ‘chance for sleep and recrnitment. To him an hour n}t)er ‘midnight is probably as good as two before it, and even then his sleep will not 8o com“pletely and quickly restore him as it will hwneig%bm" who 1a only physically tired. He must not oxﬁly go to bed later, but lie longer, . His best sloeifeg.probably, in, the early morning hours when all the nervous excitement has passed away, and he is in absolute rest. P 'There i, therefore, a good deal to be said in favor of the late habits of modern life. It was all very well for Englishmen to go to bed early and and get up early in the times of the Tudors and Plantagenets. Their lights were bad, and it was expensive work to make a room light enough to be pleasant. They did not turn night into day as we do ; but it was probably because they did not know how to do it as we know. Gas is responsible for a go{od;‘ deal of our love for the long evening‘hours. - ' A ‘London house at this time of the year is never so bright as it is after dark. 'When the blinds are down and the shuttors are closed, . and the enng . curtaing are drawn, and the room flooded with brilliant gas-lights, and the bright fire is stirred up the shining grate, nobod{ regrets the sickly daylight, ‘which all day long has been feebly struggling throagh the fog and smoke. Why should a man wish ‘to shorten %he brightest hours of the twenty-four, for the sake ofan extra hour or two of foggy, ineffectual morning? It is not mere retaliation on our ancestors ; it is simply the adoption of their maxims to our modern needs to say that, for many of us, one waking hour after 10 o’clock at night iz worth two hours betore 9in the morning. We live double at the social evening time, and to waste such hours in sleep when, there is a spare hour in the morning which may just as well be spent in bed is an unwise substitution of the old maxims for a new experience. No doubt the old maxims were wise, and would still be wise if our econdition were that of our great-grandfathers; but while the maxims stand, the times have changed, and we have changed with them. .We must have society, and we can only have it av night. we must have ample rest and we can only take itin the morning. The stress of life, with us, is on the brain and nerves; and they can only bear the pressure by being allowed to sleep it out. For a man.whose work is intellectual to have sleep violently cut short every morning would be half equivalent to suicide. True! wisdom teaches us to adopt ourselves to circumstances. Nature does not change; and what was good for our fathers is doubtless ‘good for us, provided the conditions are the same. But when this’is not the case, we must not allow . their example to become a ,tyi-amﬂ'r., Modern habits are mot more readily indulgent than the earlier times, ‘and they best. suit modern needs. ;

' From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Tgovqpme?mwm AL POINT.— | .On both sides of the female suffrage question many harsh and silly things are said. The women advocates of suffrage feel too much a sense of personal grievance, and emg:i to many vials of -wrath on .the h of their oppopents. Men who object to the, baﬁot for women either dogmatize upon it offensively and ridicule _:‘tEQ Bloomers and Anthonys, Stantons and Dickinsons in a spirit of ill-nature, or,’ 'while demurring mildly to the proposed innovation, they sugar-coat the ‘whole female sex with sickly sentimentalism and eomfpﬂment. It is 80 rare to see a piece of downright hard . sense -in the arguments and appeals on either side, that we hail with something like enthusiasm the appearance of tge fo;]ljowing iv;v«alli4coxml4glm'edf txf ks in the sth of July speech of the lﬁ:tn. Ellis W. Morton, orator of the day, at Boston .— S “Women should not vote because ‘Grad has not given them the power to enforce their will, and 'law without means to execute it is mot a law.— Woman's strength is in her weakness; ‘her defencé is in her defencelessness. Such strengh and such' defence, how‘ever, will not sustain governments.— The man is a criminal who neglects to provide the shelter of a roof for his wife, and stand ready to defend It.— Government is only the shelter of society. Man must erect it, and defend it..* Woman’s law is the influence of her virtue, her modesty and her beauty, and that law, read at the hearthstone, is transcribed in halls of legislation by hands able to maintain it.— ‘Those who claim that our laws would be. purer, if women voted, should know that they are already better than society is. ; Man legislates, not according to what he is, but according to what he ought to be. Our laws are ar tondor of tho rig‘ku.bof womon ao . they are favorable to the welfare of men, The bounty of our government is sufficient for all.” / | S

- This touches the vital point of the matter. It is ‘elaimed for women, by the few dozenm who ‘assume to speak for them, that their' admission to the suffrage would purify society from many, if not most, of the existing evils. That is the corner-store of the theory upon which their fabric of reasoning rests. To this error Mr. Morﬁn makes what seems tous a sufficient reply. Itis a truth which every one can demonstrate to his satisfaction just by looking about him—that “our laws are already mueh better than society is,” and that the difficulty is to enforce them. We. could turn to the statutes and the city ordinances and find laws against adultery, the keeping of bawdy houses, gambling, blasphemy, and numerous offences against morality, large and small.” The en-. forcement of these laws would make society much purer and better than it is. We do not say it is impossible to execute these laws: But the difficulty encountesed in the attempt to do 8o is serious,t and should not be undercstimated in a practical consideration of the subject. Society in its present condition, and especially in great cities does not in the least demand that the laws against immorality should be executed with the same stringency as those against crimes directly imperilling life and property.— This is lamentable, but it is true ; and 80 long as it is so we cannot expect judges, juries and policemen, who ony ly represent the average state of society, to strike‘out for the vindication ‘of neglected (we might almost say obgolete) statutes and ordinances. Women, who constitute the leading ele. ment in gociety and give to it its moral tone, cannot escape their share of ‘the blame in allowing the notorious immoralities of cities and towns to go unpunished. . They have the power, now, by their silent but tremendous influenge in elevating the moral standard of society, to bring about a state of public opinion which shall demand the enforcement of laws against the offences specified. The community must be reformed before any reform legislation ‘can be “enforced, and this reformation lies within woman’s proper sphere.: This power they do not exert as fully as they might, and we 'see no reasgn to suppose that they ' would exert it any more vigorously or effectually if they had the ballot.— . Women are as strongly partisan as men when their political sympathies are aroused. ‘They would be as ready (if they had the ballot) as men are to ‘elect governors, senators, assemblymen, judges and all other officers on political grounds only, and not with sole -tefegnoe to their moral char‘acter and intellectual fitness. They | might (we would admit for the sake of argument) pass laws more severe than any on the books for the punishment of the affences which now go unpunised, but we have mno @frmty, that the new laws would be better enforced than the present ones. That ‘would depend on the tone of society ; and the tone of society weould not be _materially aﬂ'wtﬁl one way or the .oth,ggl:z;le;ting all the women wvote. If the tone of society were affected at ;ﬁlt‘h&; is ‘:;hapﬂee%hatbi;n would be_ Thiiriondly afloctel by brisgieg onb ol dhasiie. cmpliring and DREw “;mneﬁh e front, and leaving the more quiet, contented and ‘modest women in the background.— mxmq_ . prejudiced in their personal - we Shéf‘:},donly; &::lmm intense and n"bivée‘ nd morality would be evS ey ey it Thsssormsh iy 1o M| B gty Qebirrais e L ol PRt Gt g i n‘ﬁxseﬁ F’”z mv*%%wﬁﬁ posiioh to the mention ; at liast, we

and especially to damage their own The topic invites to much discourse; gut" we &b& Our’ pm'p«wf th' 3. wtz‘ but to spea W vingly of the sound proposition laid down by Mr. Morton, and we now. leave the subject by requoting his beautiful and truthfal words — “Woman’s law is the influence of her virtue, her modesty and her beauty, and that law readat the hearthstone is transeribed in halls of legislation by hands able to maintain it.” When woman puts forth her influence as heartily and fully. as she can in society, in behalf of justice, morality, and the enforcement of the ‘laws, she will contribute.as directly as possible to the attainment of those beneficent ends, and will cause the adoption and ex-' ecution of new statutes for the same objects when those are required.

I A TOUCHING INCIDENT. .. - We have néver read a more touching incident than the folowing which ocgurred a short time since in one of the|.French courts. The- nobility of the brother and the affectionate f{lth of the siater, are examples to be followed by the unfortunate youth of our own country, and an evidence, however dark the day,-that an honest heart and a firm resolve will overcome the greatest obstacles, b o R A French paper says that Lucille Rouen, a pretty girl, with blue eyes -and faiy hair, poorly but neatly clad, was brought before the Sixth Court of Correction under the charge of vagran-:

“Does any one claim you ?” asked the magistrate. i “+Oh ! my good sir,” said she, “I have no longer any friend; my father and mother are dead, and I have only my brother James; but he is as young as I am. - O, sir, what can you do for me. P TR

“The court must send you to the house of correction.” s “Here I am, sister, here I am, do not fear,” ecried a childish voice from the other end. of "the court, and at the same instant a little boy, with-a lively countenance, started forth from amid the crowd and stood before the judge. “Who areyou?” said he. - i “James Rouen, the brother of this poor little girl.” i e uAge.n e i s “Thirteen.” iy “And what do you want 1’ “I come to claim my Luecille.” “Have. you the means of providing forhev. 1 - e ; - “Yesterday I had none; but now I bave. Don't be afraid.”” - “Qh | how good you are, James.” “Well, let us see, my boy,” said the magistrate, “the. court 'is disposed to do all that it can for your sister; but you must give us some explanation.” At e S e D

“About a fortnight ago, sir,” exclaimed the boy, “my. poor mother died of a bad -cough, for it'was cold at home. We were in great trouble. Then I said to myself, “I will become an artisan, and when I know a. good trade, I will support my sister.” I went vaapprentice'to a brush-maker.— Every day I used fo carry her half of my dinner, and at night I took her secretly to my room, and she slept on my bed while I slept -on the door.— It appears though that she had not enough to eat.. One day she begged on the streets and was taken up.— When I heard that, I said to myself, ‘come, my boy, things cannot last 80; you must find somethtng better.’ I soon found & good place, where I am fed and clothed and have twenty francs a month. | I haye also found a good woman, who, for these twenty francs, will take care of Lucille, and teach her needlework. I claim my sister.” “My boy,” said the judge, “your conduct is very honorable, A'gow_evgr‘, your sistér cannot be set at liberty till to-morrotv.” .o o

“Never mind, Lueille,” said the boy, “I will come and fetch you early to-morrew,” then turning to the magistrate he said, “I may kiss her, may I not, sir ’g, R : A i He then threw himself into the arms of his siater, and both wept fond tears of affection. : L :

), CUBA. : Letters have been received in Washington' city from prominent officers in the Cuban army, via Nassau and Key West, with dates-to the Ist inst. The intelligence of the arrest of members of the (Quban' Junta and others who desired ito give practical aid to the Cubans fwho were struggling to achieve their independence had been received and produced the most profound ‘ impression. of surprise and regret.— No ottﬁr_ news could have caused such a Beeling of despondency. One’ of the writers states : “It came like the news of the death of your npearest_and best friend, your only friend, and the feeling of all seemed to be that we were alone and need expect no assistance. . However, all seeing that it is now ‘liberty. ‘or death,’ for no mercy can' be expected from the’ ‘Spnaiards, we will fight a 8 only men driven“to such desperation can fight.” The Spanish commanders continue to execute all prisoners imm“ﬁliately “on their capture. Even thosewho are wounded are executed on the field.— Gen. Quesada has hitherto * respected the rights of prisoners.” This “policy is givtng;;disuﬁefmﬁghf in his camp, and a number of his followers demandthe right to retaliate. . . . - While, it becomes the United States government to preserve its treaty. stip- ' ulations, it cannot consistently disregerd entirely . the struggles. of an oppressed people to gain their liberty. ‘The conduct of the Spanish comman. | der in executing all phisoners captur- | ‘od by his army. is so shocking that, that all civilized - governments ought. b prolest agaiust: thy sadrinity, :: Our tory s 0 neasly. adjoins tho Telaad o | e e ApE T *M&MM L@@%%w

In some of the voting preeinets in Virginia, in the late election, every white ‘elector voted ‘the Comnservative ticket, and every colored one yoted the Radical ticket—probably not nver 5,000 blacks voting for Walker—the large body of the whites voting the conservative ticket.

- The Imperialist advises one of its correspondents not to abuse Horace:Greely, for, says the Imperialist, he is doing more for the Empire than gny man in the United States. There is no doubt of this. Greely is not only doing, but has already done more than any other ten men to change the Republic into.an Empire.

In addition to General Mulford and ‘Lewis McKenzie tlie following candidates for United States Senator are announced in Virginia: Hon. Franklin Stearns, an old Union' man, who nominated Walker for Governor in the convention, brother-‘in-law Sharpe, Dug Wallak, and A, B. J. Barker. ' : P

. The Boston ZTranseript (Republican) says that it cannot recall a year since the Republicans ruled Massachusctts in which their organization smacked so strongly of disorganization. Two demagogues (Butler and Loring) are playing into cach other’s hands, one for the Governorship and the other for the United States Scnatorship, and disgusting the party by their intrigues, while" the temperance troubles add to the general unhappiness. -

During the late canvass in Virginia, the Radicals denounced the Walker ticket a copperhead ticket, a rebel ticket, a disloyal ticket, &c. Forney and that set, werc especially bitter in their denunciatlons of it. The Welles ticket, with a negro on it foxiLt;Governor,gWas'thg’ true blue Radical. But since Walker’s election by 50,000, and the utter smash of the ‘whole Radical concern, the negro worshippers declare that they have won a victory, “Not much of a shower.”
