An Episode About Duelling.

BY P. A. VON MOSOMZISKKR, X. D.

Duelling, at one time, in tbo Prussian army, bad grown to each a degree, that no officer, unless be bad fought one or two duels, was much thought of. Oscar Von —, the sou of Count Von was an officer in a Hussar regiment. His father bad once been the Colonel of the same regiment, and had fought several duels. He had retired from service long before bis son had joined the army. The Count held a high oivii position not that be needed such, for he was rich and his estate gave him a large income from which his allowance to bis son was ex eeedlngly liberal, so as to enaole Oscar kindulge in any of those extravagances to which cavairv offi wrs, as a general thing, are addicted. The military life bad not been Oscar's choice for be loved the study of other scienoes better. He had very good faculties for acquiring the language* be was also a lover of xnnsic, and painting. However, be had received bis early education in the Royal Military School, and although he obtained permission to matriculate at the University of Berlin, and to attend lectures on philosophy and philology, still his father bad sot his heart on bis son's loinlng the regiment to which be himself bad formerly belonged, lie obtained bis commission, and, alter tbe lapse ot two years, Oscar, at his father's urgent request, reluotautly joined tbe regiment. 0*car was, without any ostentation,, a brave fellow and when be uecided to enter tbe military profession, he devoted himself to the study of tbeartof war with tbe hope of someday, when bit* Fatherland might need bis knowledge, proving himself worthy of his sword.

nimself

and those who pronoutlowL the oode as necessary. He used all bis arguments to show that there was really no bravery in it that it aiinply amounted to oue thing: you had either to challenge some one, to aooept a challenge, or otherwise be ostracised from society and the merereputa tionof having stood upon the duelling field was, in bta opinion, an act or lolly and that it was afar braver thing to deoline a challenge than to aocept one, unless it were a point where it beoomes absolutely neoeasarv that tbe challenger or tbe challenged party should not breathe tbe same air.

That la, unless one or the other must give bis life as a sacrifice for a mortal Injury inflicted, and even then it is mere folly, for the injured man nay be tbe one to fail.

H« further promoted the teaching that a soldier's sword belongs to his oountry, and Mhould not be used except for his country's defence and gentlemen and offi*?rs should never be guilty either to one anbtber, or to society, of anything f,»r which they have to be chastised with saber or pistols, and if tbey should so far torget themaelve* as to be guilty of soch grave offences, tbe cane iatoo go*!, even, to chastise them with.

These teachings, or arguments, were regarded by all.wbo listened to tbem at gnat fallacies, olaspbejiing against a oode that was the great line between tbe aristocratic and prbean blood.

One or two om -era weut so far as to state that such language or argument should not he used b* an offloer of Hussars, and tbe son of a brave soldier who bad fought whenever caned upon to do so.

Onoar would, at first, past these words by, giving them a wi ty or humorous, sometime* even a ridiculous turn, but always contriving not to give offense, nor to interpret aaoffence soeh language.

Of course tbe conversations, were discussed amongst other regiments station ed in the Capital, and even in artetocratie eirolee, a«iv»ogi tbe ladies.

Some of th» most noted duellists who, though they held the Count in the highcat esteem, avoided 0«car, and, tbouwh they did not by words or direct ante speak of him as a coward, tbey showed by a shrug of the shoulders, or other pantomimic motions, whenever his name was mentioned, that tbey held him in contempt.

At last it wa*resolved to pat Oscar to the test. As a tody was alwavs necessary in nucb a «wertbe young lUronew* daughter of the Count Von to whom lc*r had been very attentive, was appealed to She was tne daughter of one of ttMMldest nontes In Prussia.

Her ancestors had obtained high dis* tlnct on in all the wars or that kingdom, ani»r many of the monarchs, esp*«4aHy under Frederick tbe Great and they w«re vary proud of their martial roc— or*i«.

The young B*roness wa* a beanUfnl girl of tw*n«y years of a*e, spirited, ipniud. Hhe had gtven Oscar the preferto many even higher to title and

rank than himself, but when her ears were filled with, of oourse, exagerated reports about what Owoar had expressed in regard to duelling and duelista, she willingly lent herself to be tbe dupe of putting bis principles aiid courage to the teat.

She dispatched a little three cornered note with her xnonet at the head of it, to him, saying that abe wished to see him at auch an hour, about something that could not be delayed, or oommuni cated except In person.

He of oourae was present at the ap pointed time, to tbe moment. In a nervous, tremulous tone of voice, she said, "Oscar, I want you to challenge Capt. of the guards" (a noted duellist). "What has be done, that I should challenge bimY Is it «n insult to yourself, or to any member ol your family, that you wish me to take this step? 1 must, of course, first know the reason, aud see if It is ample for me to do what you wish. Has he been guilty of any direct Insult to youT" "No," she replied, rather excitedly, ••No. But it is my wish that you show jour courage by challenging him." "Madam/'he replied, "I care not thus to make an exhibition of my courage, will show it whenever it is neceasary do so. I will, when occasion calls for it, not only faoe one man but an entire regiment. I cannot satisfy your caprice. I have no doubt that Capt or some other cavalier, has tola you that I bold duelling in utter contempt II pt. has insulted your ears by sneering at my statement about duelliug it Capt doubts my oourage, let him name anything that requires such, in any wsy, snd I will enter the arena with him. But I will not chsllenge him, uor aocept challenge from him, or any otb er man." "If these are really your principles, sir, I, for one, must say that I cannot accept the attentions of a cavalier who is not ready to draw bis sword in defence of any cause thst a lady requires of her accepted knight, be it ever so slight." "I am willing, rnedam, to give my life in a cause that demands it, if that life is asked for, especially by you. But if have been called here to be tested in re gard to my courage, and in this manner, then, Baroness, let this be our last interview, it you so desire."

She simply bowed, and thus they parted. The interview soon reached Oscar's father, who bad set bis heart upon his son's becoming connected, by marriage, with tbe Count K—'s fam lly.

He sought, Instead of bis son. several of biB brother officers, questioned them about Oscar bow and in what manner he had expressed himself in regard to duelling.

He listened totbeir answers, and, in a rage, turned a*ay from them to his own hotel.

From a selection of arms he took CSBC containing two very fine duelling pistols with which he had fought several duels.

He loaded one of them, and in a note be wrote to bis son: "I send You this case, containing tbe finest of duelling pistols. One ol tbem, the one on tbe right skie, is loaded. It you have my blood in your, veins, aud do not wish to disgrace it, you will once challenge Capt. or show, in some other wav, that yon are not afraid to die."

Os^ar read the note calmly. Then and there be thus replied: "I wish, at least, to vindicate my mother—to show you that I do not fear to die. I shall not depart from my principles. I will not challenge Capt. but, when this reaches you, theoonteuts of tbe loaded pistol will either have been buried in my heart, or, after having done its work, passed out. You should have known that I dii not fear death, nor lack courage. Fare thee well. 080AR."

He then wrote this note to the Baron ess: "Adela:—It has tsken more courage to part with my love for you, than to die. You will never know bow dearly I loved you. 1 die a true soldier's death I do not fear to die, and my last hope is, that you msy sometime see tfie folly of those men wbo pass as courageous men, because they wear tbe mantle which covers a multitude of shaking nerves, and many a sin, if not to their class, to those of others who are as well as they— men and women. OSCAR."

Having dispatched these notes by his servant, be ligbred bis cigar, took one or two puffs and then, holding tbe weed between his teeth, be deliberately placed tbe pistol in such a position that it was rearest bis heart, and drew tbe trigger.

The weapon did, effectually, its work. He tell over, tbe cigar still remaining in bis mouth.

When the Count, his father, reached Oscar's mom, he looked upon bis son's body, and no tear came to bis eye, but his reason left b»m at onde, and he he came, and remained a maniac for several months, until death released bim.

Baronesa uouid not be brought to see her dead lover, but she felt that she loved him far ihore than she credited her own heart, and that Was sufficient punisbment

She sought comfort in religion, and, though her family were Protestants, she sought consolation in the chuifcb of ROUM, and was received aa a devoted Sister ol Charitv, where she could be amongst tbe sick and do good in many ways. The good of her mission was felt, and often reported in tbe last Franco Prussian war, where ber labors in hospitals were repeatedly praised, and she was rewarded with a high order never before given to wotfian,

Tbe Baroness often repeated to herself tbe following lines "Low is best, love l« wont, 4 4

SATURDAY

THR OLD-FASHIONED LJTTLK UIRL. She flourished thirty or forty years ago.

She was a little girl till she was fifteen. She used to help her motht wash tbe dishes aud keep tbe kitcben tidy, aud she had an ambition to make plea so ice that papa could not tell the differ enoe between tbem ani tr.amma's, and yet ahe could fry griddle oakea at ten years of age, and darn ber own stook lugs before she was twelve, to say notb ingot knitting them herself.

She bsd ber hours of play, and enjoy ed herself to t* lulleat extent. She bad no vt-ry costly toys, to be sure, but her rag doll and tbe KUle bureau and chair that Uncle Tom matie, were just aa valuable to her as tbe |20 wax doll aud ele gant doll furuiture children have nowaa

She never Mid "I can't," and "I don want to," to her motht r, when asked to leave her play and run up atairaor down on an errand, because she had not been brought up in that way. Ooedi ence was a cardinal virtue in tbe old faahioned little girl.

She lose iu tbe morning when she was called, and weai out into tbe gsrden snd saw tbe dew on tbe grass, and if she lived in the country, she led the chick ens and hunted up the eggs for bteak fast.

We do not

suppose

she had her hair

in curl papers, crimping pins, or had it "banged" over her forehead, and ber flounces were no trouble to her.

Sbe learned to sew by making patchwork, and we dare say she could do an over and over seam as well as nit etenthsof the grown up women can do nowadays.

Tbe old-fashioned Utile girl did not grow into a young lady and talk about beaux before she was in her teens, and sbe did not read dime novels, and was not fancying a hero in every plow boy she met.

She learned the solid acorn pi Ishmenta as sbe grew up. She wss tsught tbe art of cooking and housekeeping. When sbe got a husband sbe knew how to cook him a dinner.

She was not learned in French verbs, or Latin declensions and. her near

neighbors were spared the agony hearing her pound out "The Maidei Prayer," ana "Silver Threads AmoDj

of

tbe Gold," twenty times a day on piano, but we have no doub she made her family quite as comfortable as tbe modern young lady does here.

It may be a vulgar assertion, and we suppose that we are not exactly up to the times, but we honestly believe, and our honest opinion is based on consid erable experience, and no small opportunity for observation, that when it comes to keeping a family happy, a good cook and a housekeeper is to he greatly preferred over an accomplhbed scholar. When both sf-ts.ot qualities are found together, as tbey sometimes are, then is tbe household over which such a woman hss control blessed.

The old-fashipned little girl was modest in her demeanor, and she never talked slang or used by-words. She did not flirt. She did not laugb .atold people or make fun of cripples, as we saw some modern little girls doing the etberday. She bad respect for her elders, and not above listening to wordaof counsel from those older than herself.

She did not think she knew as much as her mother, and that her judgment was as good as ber grandmother's.

She did not go to parties by the time she was ten and stay till alter midnight playing euchre, and dancing with any cbauce young man wbo happened to be present.

She went to bed in season, and doubtleas said ber prayers before sbe went, and sh* slept the sleep of innocence, and rose up in the morning happy and capable of giving happiness.

And if there be an old fashioned little girl in tbe world to-day, may heaven bless ber and keep her, aud raise up others like ber.

kp(f.FATK

OF A COQUETTE, Youngslown Register.

The Pittsburg Exposition is over for this year, but there is one thinu connected with it that will be read with in tereat here. Rather a good looking couple from the country boarded a traip here tbe day before tbe Exposition closed, and with a number of others went to Pittsburg. Arriving, the girl met an old acquaintance, with vrhom she soon became uncomfortably (for the otber chap) friendly. She and her Pittsburg friend stuck together like wax all dav, viewing tbe sights, apparently oblivions of the fact that ber escort was around. When the hour came for start Ing home sbe went with her Pittsburg friend to the depot, and hung upon his arm until just before the train started, ber escort tbe while, looking very much displeased. They boarded tbe train, she taking a seat just behind him. The oonductor tapped ber on the shoulder for "tickets." She leaned forward and said: "Tickets, John." "Tickets he d—d! said John. "Get your ticket from the fellow you trolloped around with all day."

This was followed by loud laughing fr'm a number sitting near, some of whom bad been 'watching tbe girl's movements during the day, and sbe bad to go down in her pocket for tbe necessary wealth to pav her fare to this city.

.A WELL KNOWN New York chemist assured a World reporter the other day that could not be long at this rate wben people wbo use much sugar will ho supplied with a tin lining to their stomachs. He exhibited to the reporter several thin sheets of tin which he had extracted from sugar. He said some of •he adulterators bought tin by the ton. It is cut with muriatic said, and used in both sugars and syrup*. He also ex hibited samples of glucoso. of which twenty five to thirty per cent, is used in sugars, and seventy five per cent, in syrups. Poor starch snd flour is also used. These adulterated sugars pro. dti"eskin diseases. He had also a red dish brown powder, understood to be extensively owed, but be had not yet snalywl it, and did not know what it oontalaed.

A BASHFUL young man went three times to ask a besntiful young lady if be might be the partner of her joys and sortows, and other household furniture, hut each time bis heart failed btm, and he took the question away unpopped. She saw tbe anguish of his soul, and had compassion on him So the next time he came she asked himif be thought to hrins bis screwdriver with bim. He blushed, and wanted to know what for. And she, In tbe fullness of her heart, mid she didn't know butbe'd want to screw up his oourage before be left. He took tbe bint.

The following letter, indicating great sorrow, aa well as manly indignation, was received by the accused murderer, Eqgene L. Avery, alias Brown, from hia brother recently, dated:

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 22,18«n. BBOTHKR EHGBNE—Your letters of the Gib and g.h mst. received on my return home last evening. As I htve said before to you, I bad much rather have reooived tba n«ws of your death, and that you hail died an honest one, wronging no man, than to have voluntarily ulnisen tbe manner of death that you have, aiid buried yourself in the lowest deptha of bell, as it seems you have, alter all tbe good advice you have bad from a loving mother and brother, and alter making soch fair promises and resolutions aa you have repeatedly. You speak or being brave. Why, there ia nothing brave about you, or yon would not stoop so low as to commit a crime to obtain money. Are you an idiot, that others, as you say, oan induce you to commit a robbery any time tbey see fit, and persuade you to shoot at an fflcer iu the discbarge of bis duty? You did not say tbe boy was shot dead, but if so, Eugene, you mu*t expect to receive the full penalty ol tbe law.

It is very, very bard for me to write you at all, Eugene, but you have, by your own foolishness, pure mesnuess, or whatever it may be, caused me to lose all respect for you. F«iolisb boy, did you hope to get

money

How do you think your mother will 'eel to hear what you have how done? Do not her words of advice ring in your ears now Talk of being brave you would never have let any of your friends know ypu had cbosen a life of crimo, never even rt-tained the name of your lather, to let it go before the world as the name of a criminal. You had better plead "insanity," for I cannot tblnk that anyone could expect to succeed in such games as .you have under taken. I am going to Watertowu this week, but I hate to tell mother what you have written. I almost tblnk they ougbt not to be punished so much Had I stepped down into the hell, as y»u have—lor you are now there ii you have any conscience—no living relation mine would ever have known where I was by any voluntary act of mine. I should like to kno'w the facts in the case, and shall endeavor to learn them from some one there. Every man on trial tor life and liberty is famished A lawyer by the state to delond bim. Dear boy von were II years old when I went ioto'business I was 18 you must have worked very hard to help father at that age. But, had you come back here like a man, lather and I would have helped to start you into farming in Minnesota, with plenty of land and as bright prospects as any young man could wish. No, you preferred to sts?al, and see the result. You are capable of nothing else. I pity you from tbe bottom of my heart, but bave written the truth.

in that way

Dld you not any time and again in your letters that once out of that other place you would be an honest man Yes, poor

fellow,

you do "need a lawyer very

much." You have put your life and liberty against a few dollars and lost. You have cast a dark abadow over the dying hours of your aged father and mother, and now you want them to come to tbe rescue with money to help you escape the severest penalty. Go to your Maker, Eugene probably he alone can help you. If we werb to help you now, even if it is possible, and I do not think it is, you would go right hack to associate with criminals snd listen to theiradvico instead of tryiBg to bean honest man.

Look back What have you done1? Would it uot he better to have starved to death, if unable to get work, than to bang by the neck until dead for committing so great a crime Are you insane to think 1 can spend my time in removing to tbe Pacific coast, and your lather bis money to get you out of tbe bands of tbe law, which you must have learned by sad experience has a very strong grip out there as well as beret God knows I would do, anythirg to assist you, Eugene, bad you remained worthy, or even if you had fallen once or twice, out when you abuse your relatives as you do by a continued couraeot crime, you cannot expect them to aid you.

WHAT POSTERITY MAY SER Fi om the Philadelphia Press. Every one knows that CleopatfS's needle was safely plaoed in its destined position on the Thames embankment, In London, on tbe I2th of last month. Under its base, in two larte earthenware jars, in addition to the standard measures authorised by tbe government, copies of the current ooin ol the realm, the leading newspapers of tbe d»y, were placed copies of tbe Bible in tbe English and French languages, the Hebrew Pentateuch, the Arabic Genesis, and a specimen published by the Bible Society showing the 16ih verse of the 3rd cbaffter of St. John (why this verse In 215 languages. In ourious companionship with the above were put Bradsbaw's railway guide, a shilling razor, a case of cigars, an infant's feeding bottle, a box of hairpins, "sundry artlc'es of female adornment," photographs of a do*-»n pretty women, and sundry children's toys. All these will be safe enough while tbe needle stands —which will probably, be until, to quote Macauley's well remembered, but certainly by no means original sentence, "some traveler from New Zealand shall, in tbe midst of a vast solitude, take bis stand on a broken arcb of London bridge to sketch tbe ruins of St. Paul's." He may smile, in bis possible and prob able advanced stste of civilfeation, at the heterogenous articles which may be found beueath tbe monolith. Who .knows, if tbe Needle resists tbe assaults of time and accident up to bis own era, whether it may have another journey, and finally rest on tbe soil of tbe Antipodes?
