DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND

A GR A.'I'FATHFR 3 STORY. From I ml,e s' Journal. About sixty years ago I wan in Paris for the first time in my life. Bonaparte still lingered at St Helena and the adventurers, good, had, and indifferent in character, who hod served in his armies, had not vet 1 st all hope of the return of their idol, and oon«'C|uently had not yet thought it

wnr

while to seltle down

into thorough peace and quietness. Young Paul Ferrand, whom I frequently met nt Ihe cafe, and who had served as a captain at Waterloo, was sure that the little corporal would come come back again soon. ''You have not yet bealen him," he would tell me laughing. "You sent him to Elba, but he returned you have 6ent him to St. Helena, and he will return again. We shall see."

Ferrand was an exceedingly nice fellow and although he professed to cherish an unquenchable h&tred for England and everything English, he had, by some means or other, become attached to Alice Rae, a young English lady of my acquaintance, and who had been living with her mother since the conclusion oi peace at Paris, not far from the abode oi the ex-captain. And he wns always very friendly with me too. He would, it is truq, abuse my countrymen unmercifully but he was always particularly good-natured, and whenever he found himself saying too much, he would arrest

himself and apologize so heartily that 1I /,a*.

never could be angry with hm. I was alone in the French capital, an-d had few friends there except Mrs. Rea, her daughter Alice, and Paul and so it happened that I passed a great d^al of my time in th society ©f these three. The mother, a woman still in the prime of life, and the widow ofa kind's messenger, was a connection of mine by mar.riage, and that fact gave me a good excuse for offering my services as escort whenever she and her pretty daughter though tit to go out to the theatre or opera. At such time Paul always had a seat in the stalls, and between the acts he would con^j: up to my box, to the delight of AHce^ who was in love with him, and to the no sms»ll satisfaction of Mrs.

Rea, who herself had quite a maternal affection for the young Frenchman, and did not in the lea -t discourage his attentions to her daughter. If there were no formal engagement between the two. it was at least perfectly understood by all parties that a- soon as Paul should get an appointment for which at the time he was a candidate, he was to marry Alice, and I, though only a few years her senior, was to give her away.

One night the opera-house was crowded more than usual. A great singer was to appear, and a new work by a renowned composer was to be performed. But Paul Ferrand, sitting in the stalls seemed scarcely to listen to the music or to notice the acting and much more often were his eyes turned in the direction of my box than in that of the stage. Alice and her mother were with me and as the curtain fell at the conclusion of the first act, Paul came up to us. He was in high spirits, for he had heard that the minister had decided to give him the coveted post, and he expected to hear in a few days that his appointment had been signed bv the king. We congratulated him and as he left us to return

to his seat, I whispered to him "You'll be a hAppv man in a month or two now, Paul.* He smiled, and shut the door.

We watched him a* he threaded his wav to his place. It was in the centre of the second row' from the orchestra, and he had left his opera glasses on the chair in order to preserve his right to it but during his absence a tall, militarylooking man had appropriated it and had cooly put the glasses on one side. Paul approached the sti anger with the utmost politeness, and I suppose—for naturally I could not hear—requeued him to move. The interloper did not dci^n to answer, but sneeringly looked up at Ferrand, as though to ask him what he m.*ant by his iitru-ion. P.uil pointed to the opera-glasses but the stranger neither replied nor moved, but continued to appear as though he did not hear. I saw that matters were assuming a dangerous complexion,for in the new-comer I recognized Victor Laroquiere,an ex-Bonapart-ist officer like Paul, a notorious bully, and on° of the most celebrated duelists in France. But what could I do? I could only sit still,much against my will.witness the inevitable consequence-. I thought Alice woul faint when Laroquiere in tht calmest way rose before the crowded assemblage and struck Paul in th-s face with his glove but she recovered herself, and like a statue watched her lover pick up his opera-glasses, bow to his mother, and, without a word, leave the building. There w&8 some exclamations from the audience but the duelist again rose, and with a theitrical air gazed round, mockingly imitaten Paul's parting bow, and resumed his seat. This was too much for poor Alice. She could not remain any longer she must go heme and so, with some difficulty, I got her and her mother to my carriage, told the coachman to drive them home, and myself walked quickly to Paul's lodgings.

He had arrived before me,and was already writing when I entered his room. "Of cou se," he said, as he saw me, and came toward me with both hands outretched, "you,

dear friend, will as

sist me. It Is impossible to do anything but fight. Even Alice could not make me alter my conviction upon that point the insuit was so public." "Suppose you leave the country?" I suggested. "Then I should have to give up the appointment, and Alice too. No, my dear fellow, I am a Frenchman, and I must fight and you must arrange matters for me. If he shoots me, it cannot be helped if I shoot him, I shall have shot the biggest scoundrel in Paris. I beg you to call upon Liroqui?re to-night. I have already discovered his address. Here it i6." "But must you leally fight? It is suicide to fight with a professional dueiist." "Ah," he said, shaking his head. "I am afraid it is suicide but I must fight so please don't try and persuade me that I need not. And I will fight, too, as soon as possible. You can arrange everything for to-morrow morning. I .nust have the matter over. In a day or two I might be a coward."

By his looks he implored me to go to Laroquiere and, constituted as French society was at thnt time, I had no other course open to me than to do as he wished. "If monsieur came from M. Paul Ferrand," said a man-servant when I inquired whether I could see his master, "M. Laroquiere has sent to say he has not yet left the opera. He has, howev er, sent this penciled note, which I am to give to the gentleman who comes from L. Ferrand."

I tore open the missive. It contained two cards, one bearing the name of the dueli.t, and the second that of M. Delaraie, Rue Vivienne iS. Certainly it was an off-hand way of acquainting me with the name and whereabouts of Laroquiere's second but as I wished to pick no quarrel, I walked on to the Rue Vivienne, and in a few minutes was ushered into the presence of M. Delaraie himself. This worthy was a young man, aged about three and twenty, and dressed in the very extreme of fashion. His ruffles were immaculate and most symmetrically arranged his lace handkerchief was steeped in essences his gloves, which lay on the table—for he had only just returned, at LaroquL-re's request, from the opera—were small and delicate his fingers were covered with valuable rings, and the bunch of gold seals depending from his fob was unusually heavy and brilliant. He did not strike, tne as appearing particularly warlike but nevertheless, after formally saluting me, he at oncc touched upon the object ot my visit and before I had been ten minutes in his company, had arranged to meet Ferrand and myself at a cestain spot, dear to duel'sts ot the time, at an early hour next morning, and te bring Laroquierre with him. "I don't thiuk we shall need a surgeon, he said to me quite affably at parting "but it you please, you can bring one. In his last affair my principal 6hot his man through the temples, and he died

uYou

I sincerely hope, Mon

sieur. that your friend is as clever." "Confound the fellow!" I said to my self as I left the house and sought the residence of my own medical man. "I fear poor Ferrand is not such a cersumate murderer as Laroquiere."

Aftet seeing the surgeon, to whom I brkfty explained matters, I called upon Mrs. Rae. She was doing hsr best to comfort her daughter, who was in the greatest possible distress. "Are they going to fight?" she asked me. "My dear Alice," I said, "they are I have cone my best to dissuade Paul but he says, and I am obliged to agree, that he must fight. Let us hope fo» the best. He has a sure eye and a steady hand, and he has right on his side. The other man is a scoundrel. And you must remember that poor Paul is not an Englishman. If I were he I would not fight but as it is the matter cannot be overlooked, and indeed everything is arranged." "You are to be with him?" said Mrs. Rae, looking as white as a sheet. "Yes they are to meet to-morrow morning, and by breakfast-time. Alice's suspense will be over. She must bear up." •'You niust prevent the duel," sobbed the half-heart-brokent girl. ''Cannot Paul let the insult pass? But no it was so public."

can only hope," I said. "I will

see vou in the morning but now I must go back to him and see he gets some sleep." "Tell hira," cried Alice, "that if he is killed I shall die. Come here directly it is over. Come even if he falls: you must tell me about it. I mu6t hear every thing." She buried her face in her hands and I escaping from the unhappy girl, hurried to Paul.

He was still writing, and his hair was in disorder and his face pale when he

turned toward me. "I am no coward," he said, but I am saying good-by to her, (or I shall tlie to-morrow." "My dear fellow," I exclaim d,«ytfu will shoot Laroquiere, and be married next month, You must finish vour writing at once and go to bed. I will sleep heie to-night, for I must see that you turn out in time to-morrow morning so be as quick as possible."

He wrote for another half* hour, addressed the document to Alice Rae, placed a lock of hair within it, and after sealing it up, gave it to me. "Give that to her," he said, if Larolieie kills me outright—and I know he will. If it were not for Alice, I declare should be quit* glad to meet h'.m. No*for bed."

He understood, while I lay down on the sofa in the next room and lit a cigar, for I could not afford to sleep myself. Soo.i all was quiet, and I tole in to see Paul lying as a child, with a smile on his face. Probably, nay assuredly, I passed a more uncomtortable uight than he did. Only with the greatest possible difficulty could I keep awake, and the hours seemed to linger forever. At last, however, daylight dawned, and called Ferrand, who woke refreshed and comparatively in good spirits. After a hurried breakfa we muffled oui sieves up I placed a flask of brandy, some powder and bullets, and a brace of pistols in my pockets, arid we sallied fourth in the cold morning air. Scarcely any one was abroad, except a few sleepy wat :hmen, who aeemeJ to make very shrewd guesses at the olij^ct of our expeditioon and through the silent streets we went a mile or so, until we reached the meeting-placed

Laroquiere and Delaraie webe there before us, and my friend the surgeon ararrived immediately afterward in his carriage, which waited near at hand. The pistols were produced and loaded. Laroquiere chose one, and I gave the other to Paul and then the two men took up their positions at a distance of 20 paces from each other, and I waited.,, for Delaire lo give the signal to fire. Vvl,f "Stav!" cried the bully, as his second stepped back "let the young hound listen to this. I am not trifling with him I will shoot him only .vhere he wishes, for I am generous. Parbleul" "Ifl do rot kill you," said Paul, quietly, "I prefer to die." "Then I shoot him through the heatt," cooly observed Laroquiere. "It will teach others not to chal enge me

There was something to me unspeak ablv horrible in the way in which the*e last words were pronounced. I shuddered and looked at Paul. Ha 9miled at me, and at the same instant Delaraie gave the signal.

There was but one report, for Ferrand's pistol flashed in the pan. The poor fellow turned round toward me with fixed eye and pale face, and with the name of Alice on his lips fell dead. Laroquiere turned on his heel and departed quickly with Delaraie, while I aided the surgeon in his brief examination ot' Paulr» body. Surely enough the bullet had passed through his heart. He must have died alrno instantaneously, for he did not move after he fell, and the last smile with which he had looked at me was still upon his face. It was a melancholy business in every respect. I had to break the sad news to Alice and her mother, and the two ladies were so terribly overcome that 1 feared the shock would have some permanent eft'ect upon their health. For my part, I was ooliged to hurry to England as soon as possible, and Laroquiere, I heard, also got away and remained out of France until the affair had blown over.

I kept up a correspondence with Mrs. Rae, and was glad after a time to hear from her that Alice, though still terribly upset, had learned to look with a certain amount of philosophy upon her misfortune, and had to some extent recovered her usu'tl health, if not her usual spirits. Meantime I settled down in London,and, able to forget my Parisian habits, usually dined at one of the then much frequented taverns in Fleet street. The Cheshire Cheese, which was then in much the same state as it is now, was my favorite haunt and there, as the months passed by, I gradually picked up a few pleasant" acquaintances, chief among them was an extremely well-mannered young gentleman named Barton, a man of independent means, good family, and a first-rate education.

One day after he had been dining with me the conversation turned to continental manners, and particularly upon duel ing. As an illustration of mr horror ot the system I told my companion about poor Paul's dea h, a" matter in which Barton appeared much interested. He asked me a good many questions about the parties concerned, and after expressing a remarkably strong opinion to the effect that Larovuiere was a scoundrel, bid me good night. I went to mv rooms in the Temple, and the next day on visiting the Cheshire Cheese found no Barton. He had left word with one of the waiters that urgent business had called him away, but that he hoped to set me on his return. Weeks passed and then months, and still Barton did not return, and I confess I had beg'. to forget him altogether, when one evening he dropped in to dinner juftt as though he had not been absent lor more than a day or two. "Where have you been?" I asked after I had hardly shaken hands with him. "I have been to Paris" he said. "On arriving there I found out a little more than you told me about Laroquiere, and when I hac thoroughly convinced myself that he was the blackguard you painted him, I arranged for series of lessons at a pistol-gallery. Every day for a month I went and shot for an hour or two. until I was so perfect as to be ?ible to hit a small coin every time at a distance of 20 paces. After satisfying myself as to my proficiency. I took a box at the opera, it might have been the same box you used to have. Laroquiere was pointed out to me. He sat in the stalls, and between the acts he left his seat in order to speak to a lady in another part of the house. I descended as quickly as possible and took his place. He returned and asked me in an overbearing tone to move. I refused. He persisted. I struck him. He sent me a challenge, and we met upon the same spot curiously enough, where he had killed your friend Ferrand. Before the signal was gi\en I said: 'M. Laroquiere, listen to me. I am not here to trifle with you but I am as generous as you were with Paul Ferrand. I will shoot you only where you wish.' He turned deadly pale. 'We will see,' he said, 'whether I will not make you a second Ferrand!' 'Then I will shoot you,' I returned, 'as you shot him—through the heart. It will tcach other bullies not to challenge me.' Whether he was so upset as to be incapable of aiming or not, I can not say, but my dear fellow, I shot him as dead

as a dog, right through the heart, and avenged your friend, at the same time ridding Paris of its biggest villian. It was a case of diamond cut diamond." "Well done, Barton!" I exclaimed "Wait," he said, "and let me finish the rdama. We managed to keeg the matter very quiet but before leaving France I was able to cal} on Mrs. Rae, who is now living at Boulogne, for I had a letter of intioduction to her from a Parisian acquaintance. When I saw her first she knew nothing of the affair, but at last I broke the intelligence to her and her daughter. I found Alice to be a pretty girl, some vhat spoiled bj her long mourning, and not very much inclined to listen to me but my dear fellow, after three weeks of hard persuasion she gave in, and now she and her mother are Coming over next week. I believe you are to give Alice away. When she arrives you shall have a capital opportunity. "And," I ad\ied, shaking my tnend hand, "I shall be delighted to do so.

THE BOTTOM DRAWER OF THE OLD BUREAU. .jFrom the Boston Telegraph. saw my wife draw out the bottom drawer of the old bureau this evening, and 1 went softlv out and wandered up and down until I knew she had shut it up and gone to her sewing. We have some things laid away in that drawer which the gold of kings could not buy, and yet they are relics which grieve us until our hearts are sore. I haven't dared to look at them for a vear, but I remember each article. There are two worn shoes, some stockings, pants, a coat, two or three sp(ol«, bits of broken crockery, a whip, and several toys. Wife, poor thing, goes to that drawer everyday of her life, and lets tears fall upon the precious articles, but I dare not go.

Sometimes we speak of little Jacu, but not often. It has been a long time, but somehow we can't get over grieving. Sometimes, when we sit alone of an evening, I writing and she sewing, a child in the street wild call out as our boy used to, and we will both startup with beat ing hearts and a wild hope, only to find the darkness more of a burden than ever. It is still and quiet no.v. I look up to the window where his'blue eyes used to sparkle at my coming, but he is not there. I listen for his pattering feet, his merry 6hout and his ringing laugh, but there is no soun$ There is no one to search m\ pockets and tease me.for presents, and I never find the chairs turned over, the broom down or ropes tied t® the door knob. I want some one to tease me for my knife to ride on my shoulder, to lose my ax to follow me to the gate when I go, and be there to meet me when I come to call "good night" from little bed now emp'y. l\nd wife, she misses him still more. Here are no little feet to wash, no prayer to say, no voice teasing for lumps of sugar or sobbing with the pain of a hurt toe and she would give her own life, almost to awake at midnight and look across to the crib and see our boy there as he used to be.

So we pnfserve our relics, and when we are deaa we hope that strangers will handle them tenderly, even if they shed no tears over them.

WOMEN AS DESCRIBED VARIOUSFRENCll AU1 THORS.

Love in a woman's life is a history in a man's, an episode.—Madam de Stael.

No woman even the most intellectual, believes herself to be decidedly homelv. Stahl.

Men can better philosophize On the human heart, but women can read it better. •J. J. Rosseau.

Only he who has nothing to hope for from a woman is truly sincere in her praise.—C atalani.

In everything that women write there will be thousands of faults against grammar but also, to a certainty always a charm never to be found in the letters of men.—Madam de Maintenon.

Great and rare heart offering are found almost exclusively among women: nearly all the happiness and most blessed moments in love are of their creating, and so also in friendship, especially when it follows love.—Duclos.

We noticed in the papers the orher dav^ that Phillips Thompson is tearing round the country, lecturing on "Journalistic-Ante-types." The Porcupine confesses that it would like to hear Mr. Thompson's treatment of the local reporter of the mediaeval period who used to go out and play dominoes in the police station, and then come back and tell the four teenth century city editor: "By my halidoin! there is nought within the city walls-, my Suzerain."—Porcupine.

Joseph Cook carries a memorandum book in which he jots down, wherever he happens to be, anv thought that he desires to preseive. He is always provided with note paper, on which to copy from books and periodicals such things as he may want to use. Lyman Abbott g:ves these important facts to the public, and says: "Genius is akin to madness, and Joseph Cook is a genius. His brain never rests. He is always thinking. His eye is always on fire eager, restless, piercing. His power is the very antipodes of the quiet power of a Webster,"

A folk-lore society has just been formed in England for the purpose of preserving the fast-fading relics of popular fictions and traditions, legendary ballads, local jproveroial sayings, superstitions, and old customs. The new society will gather together the folk-lore articles scattered through English literature, and such communications on the same subject as may be forwarded direct to the society, and it will print such accounts of the tolk-lore of the colonies and also of other countries as may serve to illustrate and explain that of England.

It is in consonance with these ideas that we call attention to the Wabash Railway, as offering advantages to the producers of Central Illinois, which no other transportation company is able to offer. The branches of ihi* line tap the grain and meat producing section of the Mississipi Valley at Burlington. Peoria Keokuk, Warsaw, Qiiincy^ Hannibal and St. Louis. All these are importan points of concentration, and these branch lines strike the main line at Decatur, and finally at Lafayette, in the grand plan 1 moving western products to eastern markets.

It is, however, as an Illinois railway that the Wabash is of special interest to our readers. Its main line runs through the great farming counties of the state, and with its branches, gives the produce of Central Illinois a direct eastern nutlet, without obliging it to pay tribute to Cnicago stock yards, elevators, commission dealers, or the celebrated corner operators there The advantages of this/ Hne are very great, and its increasing business 6hows they are full appreciated. During the late strike its bu Jness was less interrupted than that of any of the great through lines, for the reason that its employes are liberally treated, and because, also, the management did not attempt to punish employes or patrons by needlessly stopping transit.
