THKY B)TH LOVE THE 8

A ME MAN

Madame de Poliguao thought so some oenturie* ago, as witness the following bit of history:

Kicu«iieu, as is well known, was a perfect mi Juan, as tar as his many amours went. He was a most imper feet one in one sense though.

The secrets of a gentleman's affairs of the heart are litely considered sacred. The amorous cardinal however, far from buryiu^ his little amatory adventures in bis own breast was so ungallant as to have his love letters, like his diplo inatic correspondence, written by a secretary, whose ofti'ia was also to read bis received correspondence to him. One morning the miscellaneous couti dant of devotion and diplomacy read to rose-tinted billet deux.

One was from the Marquise de Nesle. Th other from the Countess de Poliguac And both august fair ones averred that they perishing for a meeting with the clerical lover, who bad neglected them for some days.

In reply the oardiual directed bis scribe to appoint a meeting for him with the ladies at one of bis country bouses just outside of Paris that afternoon. One was to meet him at two, the other at lour o'clock. The secretary wrote, Only by an error or forgetful ness, be appointed the rendezvous for both at the same hour.—two o'clock.

The result, as may well be imagined, was a furious scene, from which Richelieu was only too glad to escape with a whole skin, leaving his mistresses to blackguard bim as they choose and netttle tbe rest of the matter between themselves.

The way they choose to do so, at a challenge of Mme. de Polignac, was to fight it out with pistols, in the Bois de Boulogne, with their waiting maid9 for seconds. They drew lots and the Marquise de Nesle won the first fire. "Take care that- you do not miss me," said Mme.de Polignac calmly, "I shall not fail to bit yon."

Her rival fired, a twig fell from a neighboring tree mortally wounded. Mme. de Polignac triumphantly aimed at her enemy heart and shot a fragment from bep twft

ANOTHER MOST BKI.LLO^RENT LADY bl about the same date was the wife of an office high in the service of the Duke ofTorraine, Mme. de Balmont. On the death of her spouse she assumed the direction of her estates herself and was aoon much more respected and feared than her deep drinking, easy-going lord had ever been. She was a famous horse woman and always rode ia man's costume.

Being a remarkably handsome woman, a certain yonnu: Count de Beauvais had, of course, a perfect right to tall in love with her. But he baa BO right to follow her with his attentions after she had declined to receive, them, and she warned him at last that the next time he spoke to her it would mean a fight.

Probably he considered the threat a merely coquettish one however, he bravod it, sbe challenged bim, and ran him through the body. After the first pass he gallantly sank bis sword, and wfthont attempting to defend himself, died, like a gentleman, with a smile on his face.

His murderess, it is said, evinced the deepest contrition after bis demise. She found, after she had killed him, her wrath hud been simply a woman's

flm.

ntulance, and that she really loved In penance she entered a convent, made over her wealth to the cbnrob, and wro'c three religious tragedies. Possibly the people who were forced to bear them were as sorry that she had assassinated her lover as she was herself.

A BLOODLKS8 VICTORY.

LaUemand relates another somewhat similar circumstanoe. though the result was a much less tragic oae.

Mme. Chateau Gay de Muratquarreled with her lover, a Chevalier de Oordierea, and after horse whipping the woman

to placate her, the chevalier accepted her defiance. He was a magnificent swordsmen, and had no difficulty in playing ber until her wrist refused to bold out further and her weapon dropped from her hand. Then he towed his own blade aside and opened his arms. "This i* better," be said, laugbiugly.

The jf .ous woman uttered a cry of and .brew herself upon his breast. 1

°r. •'and

Keep the sword," she exclaimed id use It if I ever doubt you again.'

A CURIOTM DUBL

was that between the actrena Beaupre and her fallow player {Catherine d'Uriia. Both were in love with the satne man, a drunken young vioompte who far from oariag for either of them was furiously enamored of a ballet girl. One night, however, In a apirtt of flatsoblevoua fun, the blackguard threw d'Urlia a boquet.

Beaupre was frantic. As soon as the curtain descended she spat in her rivals face Mid defied her to fight. The pair fell upon one another with a ooople of eavalry sahra the green-room of the theatre. Before they oould be separated poor d'Urlis had received a slaah in the nook which marked her for life.

A 8AVAO* IRISH D9SL.

Many later, In 1888. occurred garage fight for a similar reason.

This time Ireland was the scene and the cause a fickle gossoon, who after se duein^ one woman, undor promise of marriage, abandoned ber and e^an to pay bin court to another, who, to make matters worse, was younger, prettier, and had more money.

The combattantH were a Dublin woman and oae from Leinntor, and to judge troin the published HOC uut* OI the affair the AIUHZ ns must have !ougbt iike veritable devils.

Each had a double-barrelled pistol. Ad vaulting steadily on one another, they grappled, and wrestling together, rove to send tbe balls into each others' bodies, biting and cursing like fiends. Finally tbe Dublin girl found ber opportunity and shot her antagonist dead.

Sbe was arrested and tried at the Leicester Assizes for murder. Her sex, and the fact that ber victim had been tbe author of tbe challenge, inclined the naturally gallant Irish jury In her lavor, and she was acquittted. Tbe public regarded her as a heroine, and carried her from the court in triumph, iestooned with wreaths and flowers.

There is no doubt that tor courage and actual contempt of death tbe Spanish women far outrival any other of their European sisters. Duels among them are consequently oommon, and with their actual fearlessness they combine a cunning which would do credit to the old origiuat serpent who tempted their first mother himself. Apropos of this occurs the following characteristic story:

Two manolas, or young girls of the middle class, iu Madrid, bad a quarrel about a rich Andalusian, whom, or whose money chest, both wanted to marry. Alter they had exhausted their vocabulary of bard words, they deter mined to effectually decide the affair with navalyas, the desperate dagger knives ot the ^ower orders in Spain. The programme was

TO FIGHT TILL ONE OR TH FELL. 80 one pleasant May morning they set out with two euiale friends in a mule carriage to the scene of the proposed battle.

At the Alcala gate, however, the turn out was halted by the sentries, and the entire party arres:ed. Information had been given by some friend of both that they intended to fight. Far fropa being embarrassed by this intimation from the magistrate belore whom they were taken, one of the manolas coolly preferred a charge of false arrest against theit captors. "These fello*8," she said haughtily, "In defiance of law and justice, took ue prisoners in the public road." "We had beard that these ladies were going to fight a duel to the death," explained the brigadier. "So we arrested them and brought them beforo your Honor for punishment." "It is not a question of punishment at all," observed the girl.

But you were going to fight?" "Certainly." "And duelling is a punishable of fense." "In men, yes. But the law says notb ing about dueling by women, Look for yourself."

The magistrate did look and found that such was tbe case. Tbe edict against dueling, indeed, mentioned only men throughout, and after a promise not to carry out their gory designs on one another, the manolas were released.

A FRIGHTFUL DUEL

Was fought some'years ago by two girls employed in the Royal Tobacco Factory in Seville, that factory in front of which tbe first act of tbe popular opera, "Carmen," is supposed to eventuate. Tbe chief actresses in this Spanish tragedy of real life were young girU of twenty, perfect types of that luscious Iberian oeauty which the painters and the poets love, as all sensible men should.

The day selected for the fight was a lovely one in midsummer. In coiuany with their friends, tbe enemies reak fasted at separate tables in a wine shop a couple of leagues out of the city. Then they sent their witnesses out, barred tbe doors and windows, and fell unou one another, knife iu hand. ~At the end of ten minutes tbe doors were forced. Both girls were groaning on the floor. One was bleeding to death troin ten wounds, the other expiring with her throat cut. Botb still gripped their ensanguined knives with mutches which even their last agonies could not loosen.

For a wonder the authorities took action on the oase. They sent the seconds to prison for six months, and enacted an edict against the carrying of knives, which every one, of course, disobeyed.

PERSONAL OF PREACHERS. New York Letter to Boston Journal. Tbe different denominations, congregations and ministers can be as easily distinguished as regiments in a division can be. No two denominations look alike. Going by a church that is out, in the morning, any one familiar with New York can tell tbe denomination by people. The Episcopalians are dressy, radiant^ in gay ribbons, flowers and jewelry. Tbey are tbe ton of church goers. The Presbyterians are equally riob in their costumes, but less gay. Their style of dressing for cburcb is sober and subdued. A congregation of these people resembles the English worshipers There is an unmistakable difference between the Congregational ists and Presbyterians, yet the general outlook and social lite are tbe same. There is a western look about a Methodist congregation. However rich the garniture, a Methodist congregation can be distinguished as well as if it were black. The Baptists are not fashionable. They have a oomfortable look, like well to do shopkeepers and master mechanics. There is an equal difference in tbe style of tbe preaching. Tbe sermons of bbe Episcopalians are short, rhetorical, discursive. The Presbyterians give their people most thought. Tje Methodists are gushing. Tbe Baptists are ex hortatory. The outside sects, and thev are legion, are fond or delving about Sodom and Gomorrah, and tbe horns and beasts in Revelations. A young man in one of our colleges expressed a preference fer tbe ministry. "What denomination shall you refectf" "Episoopaliau, I think." "Why aoT" "Well, their prayer* are all printed. Most of them marry rich wifer The sermons are short, and, It one v.* its to, be»oanj|t««] them." !, •, «. Vlsi1 sg 4 FASH/OS I AA/.

TERRli HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL

AN ENOINEKR'SNEED OFNKR VK Indianapolis Journal. Unquestionably the bravest men in America are those who can stand upon tbe foot-boards of tbe locomotives which diaw tbe taut express traiua. But lew persons are aware of it, but on the leading railways, where connections must be made it possible, only engineers known to be brave and daring are given engines OR express trains, and aa soon as an engineer shows the least timidity ahout ruuninu fast be is taken from hie engine and gives one on a freight train to lun. Two such cases have occurred recently on Indianapolis roads. Railroad officers state that the first sign that an engineer is beooming timid is that be will be five to ten minutes late, possibly a bait hour, for some days or nights in succession. He is then called to an ac count, and unless his reasons are convincing another engineer is given bis engine to run for a few times, and should be bring the train in promptly on time, tbe first-named engineer gets a freight traiu engine to run nutil be braces up. It is stated, however, that after an en-

ineer allows his timidity to get a fair be seldom so far overcomes it as to have tbe bravery to step on to an ex press train engiue and run it at the speed nece-sary to make tbe time. Quite recently an engineer of one of the roads running wen from here got an impression that some accident was to happen to bim, and one night, when running a fast express, be constantly lost time. At the first station where the/train stopped the conductor berated him for running so slow. The engineer actually shed tears, and owned t.hit, fears had overcome bim, and that tie dare not run fast, and at hia own request an engineer of a freight train which stood at this meet ing point was given the train to run through that night, the conductor telegraphing the train-master, asking that the request be granted. Tbe timid engineer has since run a freight on the road.

A UN.N D1 VORCt: S UIT. Washington Capitol. Washington probably has as many curious phases of the divorce ot husbaud and wite as any city in the untry. Every day brings something new. Tbe last is a somewhat notable family we see together daily, apparently in harmony. They consist of husband, wife and two little babies, who lived together at the home of tbe husband's parents until the wife's certificate of di vorce came along some weeks ago, from ludiaua (grounds, "incompatibility of temper,") and thereupon the wife picked up her trunks, gathered up one of the children, and moved over to the home of her own parents, who are well to-do people. It all very plea.sant—the ex husband, wiui bis one-halt of the progeny, politely accompanied the ex-wife and her division ot offspring, and bad her baggage stowed away In her own home after a little family cbatall round, tbe male division withdrew with his baby. At the door: "Ta ta, come and see me when you can,"-quoth she. "I will, my dear you must come around and see us when you can," quoth he. The babies were kissed by the several parties in interest, and tbe ex-husband and bis half of tbe nuptial issue went off cheerily homeward. And so they keep it up daily .visits. The wife was born in this city, and never has been a dozen miles away from it. Neither of the parties have ever seen the Hoosier State. But an Indiana court deoreed them divorced.

ARRANGEMENT OF ROOMS. Give your apartments expression— character. Rooms which mean nothing are cheerless indeed. Study li^bt and shade, tbe combination and arrangement of drapery, furnitUrne and pic tures. Allow nothing to look isolated, but let everything present have an air of sociability. Observe a room imme diately after a number of persons have left it, and then as you arrange the furniture, disturb as little as possible the relative po-itious of chairs, ottomanB and so^as. PUce two or three chairs in a conversational attitude in some cheery ooraar, an ottoman within easy distance of a sofa, a chair near your stand

stereosoopic views of engravings, and one where a good light will fall on the book you may reach from the table Make little studies of effect which shall repay the more than usual observer, and do not leave it possible for one to make tbe criticism which applies to so many homes even of weaitb and ele gance—"fine carpets, handsome furni ture, a few pictures and elegant nothings—but how dreary." The cheering atmosphere is felt at once, and we can not divest ourselves of the idea that we must maintain a stiff and severe de meanor t.i accord with tbe spirit of the place. Make your homes, then, so cosy and cheerful that if we visit you we may be joyous and unrestrained, and not feel ourselves out of harmony with our surroundings.

THE FORCE OF HABIT. Bridgeport Standard. The force of habit is very strOHg In most men, and as an illustration we will mention that a conductor on tbe Housa tonic road has a certain place near North Bridgeport, and so firmly has the habit beootne fixed that no matter what be may be doing when his train approaches that point, he will, without thinking, take out bis watch and wind it. He may be absorbed in a con versa tion at tbe time, but the operation Is performed half mechanically just tbe same. He says be varies scaroely ten rods from evening to evening. The same curious devotion to custom is noticed sometimes among locomotive engineers One of the old engineers on the same road will sound his whistle at the necessary points apparently without thinking of the duty. In tbe midst of a conversation his hand will reach me obanically for the whistle rod and it will be found that he scaroely ever varies from tbe same place.

CHILD REN" is CHA TTEB.

At a New Bedford, Mass., oburch, while the nlertrymnn was waxing eloquent in his Emitter address, a minute youngster, to whom the exercises had become rather wearisome startled the (ersonsinthe vicinity of bis seat by suddenly exclaiming: "O, div us a west!"

A little five 'year old Nefe TIavtfri child, who had just lost ber father, received a ticket of reward from her teacher a few days ago. As soon as school was ont she ran home to show tbe ticket to ber mother, and when she showed it, tbe child said: "Mother, I have held the ticket up to tbe sky all tbe way home, so tbat my father might see bow good I have been."

Willie aged five years, and Nellie aged tour, botb natives of Kalamazoo, Mich eloped a few days ago. They Were fout,d trudging along tbe railroad track about four miles out. Wheu asked where they were going, one ot tbe loving pair responded: "Obi we's wunned away."

Tbe little girl prayed, "God bless papa, and mamma, and Unole John, and Aunty Jane, and sister, and brother, and baby, and everybody." But the little sister offered a oriticism. She said: "If you'd said 'everybody' to begin with, you'd have got 'em all in and wouldn't have bad to make so long a prayer." The hint might serve a good purpose tor some of tbe brethren whose pulpit prayers are needlessly verbose. Many preachers utter a long catalogue of people, and classes of people, whom they desire to include in their petitions, and then wind up by saying: "Lord, bless all for whom it is our duty to pray." It is estimated that some men might save fifteen minutes a day if the "long prayers were .shortened in this manner.

Two little boys who bad been kept iu tbe house on account ot the rain were standing by the window mournfully gazing at the dreary outlook, when the youngest suddenly said, "O, mamma, won't you pinnae ask Dod to shut off tbe water?"—idackensack Republican.

A small boy iu Belfast, whose deportment at school has always ranked 100 per cent, came home one day recently with his standing reduced to 98. "What have you been doing, my son," asked tbe mother. "Been doing." replied the young hopeful, "been doing just as I have all along, only tbe teacher caught me this time."

An Oil City boy who had run away from borne and at last returned, was asked if bis father bad killed the fatted calf for tbe prodigal. "Not much," he replied "be didn't kill the fatted calf, but be wanted to slay tbe prodigal."— Oil City Derrick.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Cincinnati has become alarmed at the dissipation and immoralities committed upou the Saubatb, and ber leading citins are moving for an improvement. An immense petition has been forwarded to Columbus, asking the Legislature for more stringent laws and additional power to enforce those upon the statues. This petition is largely signed by tbe Germans, tbe Jews, and by tbe leaders in botb the Catholic and Protestant churchfs. When tbe facts are understood it will be found tbat tbe great majority are in favor of quiet and rest upon tbt Sabbatb. None are more interested in this than the laborer and tbe common peoplo. Tbe same question is certain to loom into importance in Cbi cago. It should be divested of all sectarianism and all politics. It is a question that comes home to men and women who have children tbey love, and in whom tbey wo*:ld instill tbe principles of right living. It is a question, too, of values to property which speaks as powerfully to many as the moral consideration. Property has value in view of the order and law abiding character of the people in the neighborhood. The question is well worthy of the most candid and thoughtful action oP tbe whole city, and should soar above politios or preju dice. ___________

A Mystery Explalm d.

Parlor scene: Mrs. Brown, who has spent the summer among the White Mountains in search of health, and seems to have searched the whole mountain side without being able to find a pair of blooming cheeks or an inch of healthful skin: Mrs White, who has remained at home because ber husband could not afffrd to go, lv.it whose fresh complexion and bright eyes seem to have caught their bloom and brightness from mountain breezes.

Mrs. B— Dear me, Mrs. White, bow well you are looking! If you will not think me impertinent, let me ask how you can keep so healthy in this dreadful city I have been to the White Moun tainw, go there every summer, in fact, and I cau't keep off the doctor's list at tbat.

Mrs. W. (smiling).—I'll tell you the whole secret, Mrs. Brown. You remember bow poorly I was last spring, some days even being confined to my bed. f)r_told Mr. White to send me to tbe mountains, but I knew he couldn't af tord it, and I tried Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its effects were so mar velous that I also tried bis Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse my system. In my opinion, one bottle of the Prescription and tbe Discovery is better than six week ot the White Mountains for a sick won.an. I bave only been out of the city week during tbe whole summer tben my busbaud and I went to Buffalo and stopped at Br. Pierce's Invalids' and Tourist's Hotel. Tbe baths and mechanical apparatus for treating patients were alone worth going to see. Bexidea, our accomodations were better ihan we bad at Long Branch last vear, and the drives and scenery are superb. L-t me ad viae you to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and try tbe invalids' and Tonrists' Hotel next summer instead of tbe Wbit|i tains.
