A WAR DUEL.

In the breaking dawn of July

Tho DO squadrons of horse that were awaiting orders in a dreamy half sleep were commanded by Brigadier General Wade Hampton. H» was tho beau ideal of a cavalry commander, of tall, heroic form, a superb horseman, brave and onterprlslng without being rash, and with daring always tempered by sound judgment. lie was unquestionably tho strongest man in tho Confederate servico and tho only ono in either army who, enlisting as a private soldier, rose to the rank of lieutenant general. But, although a juxlicious commander, I10 was possessed of knightly spirit of adventure, and as adventures come to the adventurous his brilliant military career was marked by many thrilling personal experiences.

But a brave heart is no buckler against a steel blade, as General Hampton realized that morning. Hearing a bullet hiss just over his head, he turned his face toward tho belt of opon woods on his left in time to KCO the flash of a gun at a point about 800 yards away, and thon ho heard another leaden messenger cut tho air near him. He at ouco rode at a brisk trot in the direction of tho timber to find out the early bird of a sharpshooter who thus broko upon tho quiet of tho morning with his shrill note of battle. When jio had ridden about 175 yards at aright oblique, he came to a high stake and rider rail fence. Looking to tho front he saw, standing on largo stump, Homo 4 or 5 feet In "height, a soldier whoso blue coat, bound with orange colored braid, ami pantaloons with stripes of tho same color on the outer seams, indicated that ho was a United States cavalryman. Ho seemed to be what the Scots term a "'braw 1ml," and although not engaged In a political campaign had 'taken the stump," doubtless that ho might get abetter view of tho Confederate troops on the elevated plateau south of the woods.

The contour of tho ground hid General Hampton from his command wheu he halted at tho fence. As ho drew his pistol the quick eyed skirmisher saw him, and they both fired at the same instant. The ball from the soldier's rilled gar bine splintered a rail near the horse's head, and that from Wade Hamilton's 44 caliber revolver made tho bark tty from tho stump. The duel was clearly irregular, as there were no seconds, and tho principals were about 186 yards apart instead of 15 or SO paces, as prescribed by the code of honor, and they were uuequally armed, although each was within far range of tho other's weapon. Hampton held his pistol muzzlo up, at a ready and courteously waited on his antagonist, who threw back tho lever of his carbine, and flinging out the empty shell put In afresh cartridge.

Again the reports of the carbine and pis* tol blended, and a bullet passed through Hampton's gray cavalry cape, grassing his right breast.

Tho soldier then inserted a third cartridge, but could not close the breach of his rltie, the trouble evidently being that tho gun waa foul, and benee tho butt of tho metallic case did not go In tlush with tho socket. He raised his right hand with the palm to the front, as if to soy to his adversary, "'Walt a bit, I'll soon bo with you,'* and then drew his wiping rod, and after driving out the stuck cartridge took apiece of rag from his pocket, and, wetting it with his tongue, attached it to the slit in the rod and deliberately, cleaned out his carbine. The delay sorely taxed the patience of Hampton, as it would that at any gentleman who was kept watting to bo shot at. But he was as incapable of taking an unfair advantage of his enemy thon as he was at Brandy Station, where, during tho fiercest cavalry engagement of tho war, ho dashed up to a Federal colonel to cut him down, but seeing that his •word arm was disabled saluted him instead and passed on to seek another foe.

The high roosting oock of tho woods soon relieved him hy again opening fire, but at Hampton's rctifrn shot the carbine toll from his grasp, mid ho jumped down, and after pickiug it up with his left hand retired to the rear.

At that moment General Hampton re oeivod a blow on the book of his head that would have unhorsed a lees stalwart rider. Be turned upon his assailant, who in-1 stonily wheeled hit horse and fled at full spaed. Hampton follow**! Quickly in pursuit, his thoroughbred mare springing forward at the touch of the spar.

"SO BLUE THINE EYE."

Sr*

1863,

4,000 cavalrymen sat in silence upon their horses on the extreme left of the Confederate battle line nt Gettysburg. Tho field in tlieir front was curtained with a heavy mist as if kindly nature bad sought to veil the appalling traces of the tragedy there enacted. It had been sown with shot and bladcd thick with steel on the previous afternoon, and the harvest of death was ungatheml lying in windrows niong the ghastly furrows that had been out by the red plowshare of war. The infantry line stretched far away to tho right, and their gray uniforms blending with the Lazy atmosphere gave them a very shadowy appearance. Many of the regiments were indeed but shadows of what they had been at noon on the preceding day. Some were in lino without even one commissioned officer, and others with but the normal strength of a singlo company. For example, as attested by tho official record, the Twenty-sixth North Carolina entered the battle with 800 rank and lile, and, although none was captured, but 80 answered to their names at tho close of the day. Colonel Henry R. Burgwyn, Jr., who commanded it, and all tho field officers were killed. Captain H. C. Albright, who had command of it after the battle, was its only commissioned officer left unwouuded. Company of the same regiment went in with 84 men and three officers and came out with but one man standing upon his feet, all tho others havinp: been killed or. wounded. I knew the sole unstricken survivor well. Ho was Private John Secrest, a robust, young farmer of Mrcklenburgh county, N. C., and I regret to state that Instead of being grateful to Providence for having plucked him as a brand from tho burning he grumbled loudly over tho loss of one of his shoes, torn from his foot by a grapesbot that struck the heel whllo ho was falling back in good order.

the trigger. But the cap snapped. Several times he pulled, but with the same result. Tho Union offict^ bpunded on as if conscious of his peril.

Hampton was about to draw hiB sword when his intended quarry turned short off to the left through a gap in the fence] which Hampton himself had not seen until borne pant it He had the satisfaction of hurling the pistol at his flying foe, accompanying it with some words which did not entirely become his character as a vestryman of the Protestant Episcopal church, but that was all.

General Hampton found that the Union officer's sword had given him a deep gash about four inches in. length, and that but for the thick felt hat and heavy suit of hair he wore would have cut to the brain. A few inches of court plaster enabled him to keep on duty until he received a severe gunshot wound in the leg on the last of the battle. Ten years later Colonel Frank Hampton, a younger brother of the general's, while on a visit to Mobile, became aoquainted with a gentleman from Detroit who had been an officer in the Union army. A few days after their introduction the Detroit man mid: Colonel, I sought your acquaintance in order that through you I might make the amende honorable to your brother, General Wade Hampton. The saber out that he received on the head at Gettysburg was inflicted by me, and the matter has troubled me greatly ever since. It was my only act during the war that I regret. I was a young fellow then of

Colonel Hampton delivered the explanation tendered by Major S.—for ho rose to that rank—and later General Hampton acknowledged it by letter, assuring Major S. that it had given him groat gratification, and that since he had received it I10 could only regard tho failure of his pistol to fire with a deep sense of gratitudo to him in whoso hands are the balance of life and death.

In reply to tho Inquiry from Hampton, Major S. wrote that tho name of tho frolicking rifleman was Frank Pearson that he was but 19 years old at tho time of tho duel that tho pistol ball had wounded him a few inches abovo tho right wrist, and that I10 was mustered out of servico at tho closo of the war as a lieutenant and was a successful'farmer living near Kalamazoo, Mich. Subsequently General Hampton received a letter from Mr. Poarson himself, In which he assured tlio general that I10 was glad that ho had missed him, and tho general responded that ho was very sorry that ho had wounded Prl vato Pearson.—Judge T. J. Mackey in Loulsvillo Courier-Journal. ...

itr* BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE.

and a lieutenant in tho Sixth Michigan cavalry. Seeing a solitary Confederate firing into our lines, I determined to capture him. There was nothing about him to indicate his rank, but I presumed that he was an officer. The bond in the fence prevented him from noticing my approach. Indeed he was looking to the front as I came on his rear, and the ground being soft near the fence line he did not hear my horse's .step. I could have run him through with my sword, but I was incapable of stabbing any man in tho back. I saw when I got near him that ho was of formidable stature, and as« his pistol was in his hand I felt sure that if I ordered him to surrender he would instantly turn and fire upon me. Ho was mounted on a horse of alight chestnut color, which I thought was the finest animal that I had ever seen. It was a sore temptation to a cavalry officer, and I at once changed my plan and decided to unhorso the rider and capture his splendid mount. As I struck tho blow he turned upon me. It was a half mile race for life. I heard his pistol snap three times at my back and a'%o his parting curso as I went through tho gap In tho fence."

Dwarfs In Russia.

In tho time of Peter thero were no groat writers or artists among tho Russians, but oourt justew and dwarfs wore highly osteemedv Leitlrnlng did not count for much except among tho clergy, but tho great empire, we are told, was remarkable for her fouls" of high degree, for even princes were proud to hold the office.

As for dwarfs, tho country was really alive with them. Ono old author says there was scarcely a nobleman in tho land who did not possess ono or moro of these "frisks" of nature. At almost all state dinners, if thoso pygmies were fortunate enough to escape being served in a pie, it was their duty to stand behind their lord's ohoir holding his snuffbox or awaiting his oommand. They were usually gayly dressed in a uniform or livery of very costly materials.

In 1708 Prince Menshikof sent to his wife In Russia two dwarfs whom I10 had made prisoners of war in Poland. "Aocompanylng the gift wero tho following lines: ''I send you a present of two girls, one of whom is very small and can servo as a parrot. She Is moro talkative than is usual among such little people and can make you much gayer than If sho was a real parrot."

One of theso dwarfs was still living in 1704. After tho disgrace of her noblo master sho came under tho caro of tho Princess- of IIesse-Horn burg, and when she died General Betskoy, tho princess' heir, took tho dwarf as part of his inheritance. Nearly a century old, sho was still brisk and lively, with a babyish voico when she cried, as sho often did at the recollection of her ancient court dross, which she had prized exceedingly. Except when looking at her fuce to face ono would think her to bo a child 8 or *1 yonrs old.—St. Nicholas.

The JJfcwMl vantages of Swing. To get a really good education one must bo unfortunate in some way. Thoso who over saw the graduating ceremonies of tho Perkins Institution of the Bliud and observed how solid and thoughtful tbo young men and women were, and at tho same time reflected that tho students had a great obstacle to overcome in gaining an education, must have wandered whether, after all, it is so groat a misfortuno to bo blind. Seeing somehow dissipates the intelligence. No curiosity so idle as the curiosity of tho eyes. To wo is so delightful a thing tbat during a great port of our life we see not for the sake of knowing, but for the sake of seeing. And the seeing of a thing being past and gone we think no more about it or know nothing about it. Tho blind person, being under no neces? sity to satisfy this curiosity of the eyqs, has much time to study in his own way and then to reflect deeply and clinch his hold upon the things he has learned. There are many of us In tho seeing world who live almost wholly upon what we see— who are susceptible to beauty in things seen that our minds must be occupied with it long after \ro haw seen it* and often when no doubt we should be learning or thinking to some useful purpose we are merely bringing back to our minds' eyes the things that our bodily «y«s have seen. Nor are these thing* always altogether good for the dereiopment of the mind and the soul. If* for a part of the timet we oould go through the world with closed eyes, and even Heel our way about %bs strata with a stick, it might be tetter tor our intellects.—Boston Transcript.

Sensations Experienced by Two Prisoners Set at Liberty Alter Twenty Years.

At o'clock on Sunday morning Warden Chase of Lansing, Kan., unlocked the cells of Arthur Winner and Charles McNutt. He took Winner and McNutt to the prison barber shop and after they were shaved gave them two government suits, which did not fit at all. Winner, who worked in the prison shoe shop, had brought two pairs of patent leather shoes. The men put theae on. With the highly japanned and stylishly pointed footgear and with the ridiculously cheap and awkward olothes they, in company with ex-Senator O. H. Bentley of Wichita, stepped outside the great stone walls.

For 20 years they had seen neither tree, shrub, bird, flower, grass nor domestic animaL Two of Warden Chase's daughters met them just outside tbo door and presented them with twojbeautiful flowers. Several trustees approached them, beaming, and presented then with bouquets as they went down the path. ,•

Tears were in both men's eyes. "See!" cried Winner, the more demonstrative of the two. "There is a town. There was no town here when I went in." "That is Lansing," said Mr. Bentley. "Let's not go there,' said Winner. "I want to go to those woods."

McNutt agreed, and they went over to a* thicket by tho roadside. The two came across a cow.

1 (1'

"Is that a cow'r" asked Winner hesitatingly. "Don't go on. Let me look at it"

And he circled around the animal Then he approached her timorously and laid his hand on her back. "This," he said, "is the only cow I have seen in 20 years." "Arthur," said McNutt very slowly and deliberately, "do you notice how queer it is to talk loudly? How queer the words come?" "I wonder if I could sing. I guess not," paid Winner. And he did not try.

Both men curiously felt the bark of every tree they came upon. Finally, with their arms filled high with green twigs and flowers, they went to the hotel in Lansing

Later in the day the whole party went to Kansas City. The long imprisonment had dulled the men's minda They asked about everything they saw. McNutt wanted to know what grapevines wero.

When they reached Kansas City, they both began to place things that they had read about in the newspapers.

McNutt could not distinguish between a cable car and electric car. Ho insisted upon trying both and finally got it into his head which was which. Winner was 19 years old when he went to the penitentiary and McNutt 20 years of age. McNutt has secured a job of decorating in Leavenworth and will open a shop there.

Winner will go back to the penitentiary {is general manager of the Burr company's shoe business there, that company having tho convict labor of the Lansing prison.

The Winner and .McNutt case is probably the most famous in the history of Kansas. Early in 1873 Winner and young McNutt came to Wichita and started a paintshop. Soon after McNutt insured his life iu favor of Winner for $5,000. One night a few mouths after tho young men settled in Wichita some one discovered that their shop was

0:1

lire. Tho pcoploof the town turned out and extinguished the fire, but McNutt was missing.

The partly burned body of a man waa found in the ruins of the building. Winner declared that it was McNutt, but the people of Wichita did not believe him. Tho body was recognized as that of a tramp known as "Tfcxas."

The sudden departure of McNutt and the fact that his life insurance was in favor of Winner, though McNutt was married and the father of a child, excited so much suspicion that Winner was arrested the next day. A few days later McNutt was captured in the woods in Newtown comity, Mo.

They were tried for murder. The evi dence was so clear that they were convicted and sentenced by Judge W. P. Campbell, now department commander of Kansas. Under the law they went to the penitentiary for life.-- Wichita Eagle.

A Horrible Suspicion.

Americans In England.

Not for years have Americana and America occupied such a large share of attention and interest among Englishmen. In the first place, London is full cf Americana. They monopolise the hotels and are everywhere in evidence. The throng at Embassador Bayard's Independence day reception was almost twice as great as In any previous year. The heat on the continent is driving the majority of tourists to England, and it is fair to say that John Bull is treating Brother Jonathan with warmer hospitality than has been his wont—London

BIG STORIES, NOT WINNINGS.

Exaggerated Reports of Amounts Iost and Won at the Race Track.

One reason for the great popularity of racing among men who know nothing about the sport is the extraordinary fortunes which people lire supposed to make in the course of 15 or 20 minutes by betting on horses which have a long price marked opposite their names. The racing editors of several of the morning papers are exceedingly careful in noting the winnings and losses of prominent men on the turf when they are worthy of comment, but this is not true of all the men who sit in the reporters' stand a a

Every year some particular man is picked out, and the stories of his winnings are mentioned day after day quite as a matter of course, but never with any real notion of the actual facts of the case. McCafferty, for instance, is commonly credited by the papers with having landed between $50,000 and $60,000 on a single race this week, end a few days before it was solemnly announced in the papers that "Pittsburg Phil" had a rather bad two days' racing, but having landed $55,000 on Candelabra he was feeling more comfortable™

Such winnings as these are noted usually as a matter of course in the shape of a footnote or some small item of news of the track.

The inconsistency of these statements is apparent sometimes, even to people who have no knowledge of racing. When McCafferty rode Rough and Ready, for instance, the price was 50 to 1, and it was stated that McCafferty bet §5,000 of his own and his partner's money on his mount. Of course it would be impossible to place such an enormous sum of money on an outside horse, as the bookmakers are too sharp to be caught napping that way.

But, assuming that the story is true and that McCafferty had bet that amount of money, his winnings would have amounted to $250,000 on that particular race. People who imagine that tho bookmakers at Sheepshead Bay can pay out $250,000 on a single overnight race have a lofty opinion of the financial stability of the ring. It is curious to note how persistently this exaggeration is practiced, since it is apparent to all racegoers that s?ich enormous winnings are entirely imaginary.—New York Sun.

"Mamma, was that a sugar-plum you just gave me?" asked little Mabel. "No dear, it was one of Dr. Ayer's Pills." "Please, may I have another?" "Not now, dear one of those nice nice pills is all you need at present, because, every dose is effective."

Women and Mirrors.

A well known aesthete recently advised women nover to pass a mirror without looking into it, and observant persons perceive the wisdom of this injunction. When ono is shopping, for instance, full length mirrors are frequently encountered, and a passing bianco is sufficient to reveal the disordered veil or hat, tho strip of braid torn from the bottom of the gown, tho bow or ilounco awry or any other defect in tho toilet, and it is thon an easy matter to remedy the shortcoming, which if neglected, would stamp one as lacking in proper regard for tidiness. Thereforo tho modern woman glances into every mirror as she hurries along and takes a furtive poep now and then into the jewel ed glnss suspended at her belt, caring not ono whit if some of her friends deem it a vanity as long as she is thus reassured of her neat and trim appearance.

Lysander Dickerson of Sterling, His., thus writes to the Chicago Journal "In a recent issue of your paper I find an item describing at some length the moving of the old Liberty bell into its new quarters in Independence hall at Philadelphia, and a recital of tho safeguards with which the historic relic is now surrounded. In this item the bell itself is described with moro or esa minuteness. The article recalls to my mind the fact that some 45 years or so ago, in company with S, S. Dana of Wilkesbarre, Pa., I visited Independence hall and naturally made a close and careful inspection of this historic relic. At this time there waa a place afoot or more deep chipped ont at one of the outer edges. When it was exhibited at titie fair, there were no evidences of vandalism. This convinces me of the truth of the story, which is generally un believed, to the effect that years ago the old bell was sold to an enterprising Yankee and by him worked up into trinkets. I claim to have one of them.".

The Human Electrical Forces!

How They Control the Organs of the Body.

The electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may be termed. Is an especially attractive department of science, as it e\ertffso marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced lay the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the various organs of the body, thus supplying the latter with iho vitality necessary to Insure tneir health. The oneumogastric nerve, as *hown here, may be said 10 be the most important cf the entire nerve sysiern. as it supplies the he:nrt, Jungs, stomach, bowels, etc.. with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will be seen by the cut the long nerve c-'uscending from the base of the brain and terminating In tho bowe!s is (lie pueumogastric, ivinio the numerous lit-* tie branches supply the heart, lungs and stom-! a -ii with necessary tiuity. When the brain becomes in any way disordered by irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which it supplies is lessened, and the or•rrins receiving the diminished supply are consequently weakened.

Physicians generally fail to recognize. he importance of this fact, but treat, tho orjia 11 itself instead of the cause of the trouble The noted specialist, Franklin Miles, M. I)., LL. B., nas given the to the study of iscoveries concerning 1
