THE GAMBETTA DUEL. HOW MARK TWAIN r-ISTING CISHED HIMSELF AS THE STATESMAN'S SECOND. Mark Twain writes for the Atlantic Monthly an account of his participation ^in the recent dnel between Gambetta and Fourtou. When he had heard of the outbreak in the Ausembly he says that he called on Gambetta, whom he found 44 steeped in a profound French calm." Mr. Twain ifter being embraced began the couvursation : -I said I supposed hi) would wish me to act as his Focond, and he said : " Of course." I said I muut be allowed to aot under a French name, so that I might be shielded from obloquy in my . country in case of fatal results. He winoed here, probably at the suggestion that dueling was not regarded with re spect in America. However, he agreed ^to my requirement. This accounts for the fact that in all the newspaper reports M. Gambetta's second was ap-; parently a Frenchman. First, we drew ; up my principal's will. I insisted upon this and stuck to my point. I eaid I had never heard of a man in his right mind going out to fight a duel without first making his will. He said he had never heard of a man in his right mind doing anything of the kind. When we had finished the will, he wished to proceed to a choice of his "last words." He wanted to know how the following words, as a dying exclamation, struck ' me: " I die for my God, for my country, for freedom of speech, for progress and the univeral brotherhood of man 1" I I objected that this would require too I lingering a death ; it was a good speeoh I for a consrmptive, but {not suited to L the exigencies of the field of honor. We j p wrangled over a good many ante-mortem ; i v.; ! P UUIUUIOW, bau JL i-LU.auJ JJirn IV VUb his obituary down to this, -which he oopied into his memorandum book, purposing to get it by heart I die that France may live. I said that this remark seemed to lack relevancy; but he said relevancy was a matter of no consequence in last words ?what you wanted was thrill. I then wrote the following note and carried it to Mr. Fourtou's friend: Sib : M. Gambetta accepts M. Four ton's ohallenge, and authorizes me to propose Plessis-Piquet as the place of meeting; to-morrow morning at daybreak as the time; and axes as tho weapons. I am, sir, with great respect, Mark Twain. M. Fourtou's friend read this note, and shuddered. Then he turned to me, and sf>:d, with a suggestion of severity " inhist&ne: "Have you considered, sir, what nrnnl/1 tfio inoTnfnhlA rpnnlf nf Hn/>V> n meeting as this ?" " Well, for instance, what would it ! be?" "Bloodshed!" "That's about the size of it," I said. "Now, if it is a fair question, what was j yotu side proposing to shed ? " I. I had him there, he saw he had made ; r r'ulunder, so he hastened to explain it j away. He said he had spoken jestingly. Then he added that he and his principal would enjoy axes, and indeed prefer them, but such weapons were barred by ' the French code, and so I must change I \ my proposal. After proposing Gatling guns, rifles, : navy pistols and brick-bats, Mr. Twain left the choice of weapons to the other j second, who fished out of his vest pock-j et a couple of little things which I carried to the light and discovered to bo j pistols. They were single-barrelled and silver-mounted, and very dainty and pretty. I was not able to speak for emotion. I silently hung one of them on mv watch-chain, and returned the ,-_oiher. My companion injcrime now un- j rolled a postage stamp containing several cartridges and gave me one of them. I asked if he meant to signify by this that our meh were to be allowed but one shot apiece. He replied that the French i oode permitted no more. I then begged j him to go on and suggest a distance, h for my mini was growing weak and i confused under the strain which had i been put upon it. He named sixty-five * yards. I nearly lost my patience. I h said: " Sixty-five yards, with these instrn-1 ? ? ments? Pop-guns would be deadlier at. fifty. Consider, my friend, you and 11 are banded together to destroy life, not ] *' make it eternal." But with all my persuasions, all my ! -- "arguments, I was only able to get him to reduce the distance to thirty-five ! \ yards; and even this concession he made ? " with reluctanoe, and said with a sigh: , "I wash my hands of this slaughter; v. bn your head be it." There was nothing for me but to go j " home to my own lion-heart and tell my j K' humiliating story. When I entered M. it Gambetta was laying his last lock of * . hair upon the altar. He sprang to- i i-- ward me, exolaiming: " The weapon, the weapon ! Qaick ! ! what is the weapon ?" . **" This!" and I displayed that silver- ' -mounted thing. He caught but one i .glimpse of it, then swooned ponderously J ; -: tb the floor. ,% fWhen he came to he said, mourn I ~ nilly: * " The unnatural calm to which I have 'V-Bubjected myself has told upon m.v j "*" nerves. Bat away with weakness! I 4 , will confront my fate like a man and a f : Frenchman." v He rose to his feet and assumed an attitude "which for sublimity has never '?. been approached by man and has seldom { been surpassed by statues. After a long silence he asked: " Was nothing said about that man's v family standing up with him as an off'* set to my bulk? But no matter; I would not stoop to make such a suggestion; if is not noble-enough to suggest it ' himself he is weloome to this advantage, , which no honorable man would take." - i'At what hour is the engagement to ; bean?" -* **- ^-Half-past nine." * ' 1 -"Verygood indeed. Have you Bent the facts to the newspapers?" "Sir I If after our long and intimate 'friendship you can for a moment deem V S? Stable* of so base a treachery"? or -"Tat, tut! wnat words are tnese, my dear friend^? Have I wounded you? - Ah, forgive me; I am overloading you with labor. Therefore go on with the other details, and drop this one from ~ your list. The bloody-minded Fourtou will be sure to attend to it. Or I my' sdf?yes, to make certain, I will drop a note to my journalistic friend, M. t Noir "? * s " Oh, oome to think, you may save i ' yourself the trouble; that other second - has informed M. Noir." ??H'm I' I might have known it. It Is just like that Fourtou, who always *. wants to make a display." At hall past nine in the morning the ' procession approached the field of Piessis-Piquet in the following order: First came our carriage?nobody in it but Gambettaej.i'l then a carriage containing M. Fourtou and his second; . then a carriage containing two poetorators who did not believe in God, and these had MS. funeral orations projecting from their breast-pockets; then a ^Jwriage containing the head surgeons and their oases of instruments; fc] eight private carriages containing c suiting surgeons; then a haok oonta ing the coroner; then the two hean then a carriage containing the head 1 dertakers; then a train of assistants i muteB on foot; and after these ci plodding through the fog a long ] cession of camp-followers, police citizens generally. It was a noble tr nnt nnrt wnnlrt havfl made a fine play if w? bad had thinner weather. The police noticed that the public massed themselves together on the ri and left of the field ; they there: begged a delay, while they should these poor people in a place of saf The request was grnnted. The po having ordered the two multitudei take positions behind the duelists, were once more ready. The weal growing still moro opaque, it was agr between myself and tbo other sec that before giving tho fatal signal should each deliver a loud whoop to able tho combatants to ascertain e other's whereabouts. I now returned to my principal, was distressed to observe that he lost a good deal of his spirit. I t] my best to hearten him. I said : " deed, sir, things are not as bad as t seem. Considering the character of weapons, the limited number of b1 allowed, the generous distance, the penetrable solidity of the fog, and added fact that one of the combatant one-eyed and the other cross-eyed near-sighted, it seems to mo that conflict need not necessarily be fa There are chances that both of you 1 survive. Therefore, cheer up ; do be down-hearted." Thie speech had so good an effect < my principal immediately stretched fc his hand and said : "I am myself again; givo me weapon." I laid -it, all lonoly and forlorn, in center of the vast solitude of his pa He gazed at it and shuddered. 1 still mournfully contemplating it mrnrnred in a broken voice: "?)as, it is not death I dread, mutilatiDn." I heartene 1 him once more, and v o-nstU oMrtAoco fV?of Vio nr^npntlv a\ OUV/U OllV/VtPO VUMW M. . .J " Let the tragedy begin. Stand nt back; do not desert me in this solf lionr, my friend." I gave him my promise. I now aas ed him to poiut his pistol toward spot whero 1 judged his adversary t< standing, and cautioned him to lie well and further guide himself by fellow-second's whoop. Then I prop myself against M. Gambetta's back, raised a rousing " Whoop-ee !" G was answered from out the far distai of the fog, and I immediately shon " One?two?three?fire 1" Two little sounds like spit! s] broke upon my ear, and in the si instant I was crushed to the ei under a mountain of flesh. Buried i was, I was still able to catch a f accent from above, to this effect: " I die for?for?deuce take it, v is it I die for ??oh, yes?France die that France may live ?" The surgeons swarmed around \ their probes in their and app their microscopes to the whole arei M. Gambetta's person, with the ha result of finding nothing in the na1 of a wound. Then a scene ensued wl was in every way gratifying and insp ing. The two gladiators fell upon other's necks, with floods of proud happy tears; that other eecond embrs me; the surgeons, the orators, the dertakers, the police, everybody braced, everybody congratulated, evi body cried, and the whole atmospl was filled with praise and with joy speakable. It seemed to me then 1 I would rather be the hero of a Fre duel than a crowned and sceptred m arch. Necessity of Sunlight. Instead of exoluding the sunli from our houses, says the Manufaci er and Buiidcr, lest it fade carp draw flies and bring freckles, we she open every door and window and bi enter. It brings life and health joy; there is healing in its beams drives away disease and dampn mold, megrims. Instead of dc this, however, many careful hoi wives close the blinds, draw down shades, lock the door, shut out glorifying rays and rejoice in the i and musty coolness and twilight their apartments. It is pleasant not unwholesomo during the glare the noontide to subdue the light exclude the air quivering with heat, in the morning and in the evening may freely indulge in the sun bath let it flood all our rooms, and if at very fiercest and brightest it has entrance to our sleeping rooms, so m the better for us. Wire netting doors and windows exclude not flies mosquitos only, but all other inse and those who have once used it continue to do so. With this as a ] tection from intrusive winged c tures, ono may almost dispense ^ shades and shutters and enjoy all benefits of an open house without annoyances so frequent in warm wet er. But better the annoyances v sunshine than freedom from them w out it. Statistics of epidemics h shown that if they rage in any part < city tliey will prevail in houses -wl axe exposed to the least sunshine, v; those most exposed to it will not at all or slightly affected. Even in same house persons occupying ro< exposed to sunlight will be healtl and repulse epidemical influences be than those occupying rooms where sunlight enters. Bijah's Boots.

Invrni'vntlon by the Potter Snb^Commltt In New York. The Totter sub-committee appointed to ta testimony in New York in regard to those ciph dispatches having reforence to alieg?d corru practices in the Presidential election of 187 arrived in New York and began their examin tion of witnesses. The following members th6 Honee composed the Hub-committee: Ge oral Eppa Hunton, of Virginia (Democral ohairman; William 8. SteDger, of Pennsylvan (Democrat), William M. Springer, of IUinc (Democrat), Frank HiBcock, of New York (B publican), and T. B. Beed, of Maine (Bepub can). The first witness called was Smith 1 Wand, a lawver of Plattsbureb. N. Y.. wl testified tbat he was in North Carolina ai South Oarolina soon after the last President! election; in Baleigh, N. C., he wn" told th General Kilpatrick had made inqnines to see the State could not be given to Hayes, b that Kilpatrick was informed by the returali board that the Demooratio legislature won impeach them in two weeks if they did as 1 requested; the witnese reported this to Nc York, and was then asked to go to South Oar lina; he waB informed that the South Oarolii canvassing board, while admitting private that the State had gone Democratic, woold 01 give a certificate to thia effect unless th< were p?id for it, as they wore candidates fi office the same election, and firmly believir that tHe Democrats bad carried two at lea: [ VM. -, 'j ?-? ' , --, ' :.-^ ' V . ? -'# - j d of the three disputed States, bat that a conie spiraoy had been formed to oount them out n and that a proper declaration of the vote of d one of these States would settle the matter, he 1 telegraphed to New York asking If money d could be famished. Witness said ne oonld not R, refer to any particular dispatches ; he would d " give the bones of the transaction all the id dispatches which he oent were directed to y Henry Havemeyer ; finally a proposition was i- made to him by the returning board of Bouth h Carolina, offering to give the State to the 3. Democrats for eiihor $00,000 or $80,000; he >d telegraphed this fact to New York, and reje ceived an answer which he understood as an ie assent to the proposition ; he had never said ;d chat South Carolina had gone for Hayes ; the ig face of the county returns was to that effect, in he understood, but theprecinctretnrns showed i'b that the State had gone Democratic; when he in left South Carolina a representative or tne rets turning board, named Hardy Solomon, went on y- the train with him, bv arrangement ; at Baltiso more he met Colonel Pelton,who informed him id that the matter had come to the knowledge ol DO Governor Tilden, who refused to permit any er money to be used; tho witness informed Soloat mon of this fact, but the latter insisted on o. coming to this city with him, to see if the sd money could be raised outside of the Demon cratio national committee ; tho returning board e- kept their decision open two days, as ho waf of informed, waiting for the result of the monej le negotiations ; on the day when the board waf e- compelled by law to decide, he told Solomon er that the money oculd not be furnished ; Soloar mon then sent a dispatch to South Carolina, sh saying that the "goods" could not be obtained n- Solomon stated "the other eide " had beer th bidding. Mr. Weed said that Governor Hamp ton, Senator Gordon, Mr. Randolph, Mr. Has .r- kell and other persons prominent in Soutt ie Carolina at that time had no knowledge of th< ig dispatohes or of the negotiations to which the; n, related ; although ho had destroyed his ciphei tie key, he knew that all the dispatches published in the Tribune were not correct!] rg rendered ; not a dollar was ever paid bj 3n him or by any other person to his knowledg< m to the South Carolina returning board ; the] tje morely made a proposition, which was declined. Witness testified further in regard tc tho Tribune translations of the cipher dis - patches, saying some of them were mistrans06 lated and that he had never sent one dispatel which the Tribune published, with translation of as having been sent by him to General Gordor lis from Baltimore ; the dispatch which he sent General Gordon waa entirely in reference t< it- court matters. After the announcement of th< to South Carolina vote witness was taken U task by Mr. Tilden for entertaining a proposi tion to buy the State; "he said I should hav< known better, and that I ought to have knowi he would not consent to take the presidency oi any such terms. I explained the whole mattei as I had engaged in it, and he repliod that ii '? the presidency was to be sold he would hav< !l" nothing to do with it and that he woulc . not boy it of felons did not know fron !,r whom he expected to get the monei t0 to buy the South Carolina doctors in explanation of one of the disp&tchcB h< would say that he would have bought Louisi!B ana and Florida, as well as South Carolina 10 for they were all for sale. The next witness re Mayor Cooper, made the following statemeni to the committee: " I saw Mr. Pelton just be? fore he went to Ballimoro. It was in the hal . of Governor Tilden's house. He was about tc P get into the oarriage. He eaid bo was going t( m Baltimore to see Mr. Weed and some South J" Carolina people, and that he might want Bonn money. I roceived a telegram next day, parti] 1(1 in cipher, and asking for a large sum of money 8" $60,000 or $80,000. I was very much surprised at tbia, and Mr. Tilden said Mr. Pelton musi come home immediately. I don't know if Ian swered the telegram. No money was sent. ] [P know nothing about any arrangemunts tc spend money in South Carolina. I was treas in urer of the national oommittee and made man3 . disbursements. I am ready to submit these t< -? the committee." Witness, continuing, said he ae believed Mr. Weed went to Baltimore to make & some negotiations with the South Carolina re10 turning board; he did not think Mr. Tilder know thiB, for as soon as the telegram was re^ ceived he (Mr. Tilden) ordered Pelton home n* he thought any propositions by returning *7 boards were known to Mr. Pelton alone. Colonel William T. Pelton was sworn, and )D testified that dispatches from 8mith M. Wee<] D- and others who had gone South after the lS presidential election in 1876 were received bj 06 him in care of Mr. Henry Havemeyer, who :e was a personal friend of witness. After teetie" fying in regard to a number of dispatches Benl to him by Manton Marble from Florida?some of which he thought were correct as translated by the Tribune, while as to the authen" ticity of others he was not bo certain?witness r* said he had received and acceptcd a proposition to purchase the vote of Florida for$50,00( a" from the returning board, but his acceptance came too late to take effect. Regarding the W South Carolinia dispatches from Smith M. Weed "" witness siaiea ne asseniea co mu prupusiuuL ?" to buy the returning board for $80,000 ; th< er day before going to Baltimore be had a tall : with Mr. Cooper in regard to the purchase ol the South Carolina vote, and to the best of hii B> recollection that gentleman disapproved of the 'n proposition and considered it impracticable: the t0 next day, when in Baltimore, ho received twt ir? dispatches, one from Mr. Cooper to the effect n" that the money could not be raised, and th< 00 other from Mr. Tilden, telliDg him to return after returning to New York with Mr. Weed )n he eaw Mr. Tilden, who mado seme emphatii remarks on the proceedings in question, an< ll| expressed the opinion that tbo witnoss had n< ?r business to do as he had done; ho had pur a posely oonoealed the transactions from Mr |? Tilden, as he knew the latter would diBapprov< 10 them; he did not think that Mr. Tilden knev a" of his visit to Baltimore until afier ho hat 3(1 gone there; Mr. Tilden, so far as he knew am believed, waa equally ignorant of the negotialions in regard to Florida ; the witness did no intend that Mr. Tilden should know anythinj Q> about them: the information which ho re n' ceived from Mr. Weed and Mr. Marble relativi Q~ to the intended purchase of votes was not im >n parted by him to Mr. Hewitt or other member of the Democratic national committee. Upot ?e cross-examination it waa brought out that wit "? nose did not recollect the origin of the ciphers 'e" and his memory as to other intereoting point) tr" was not clear. ?f Mr. Manton Marble testified that he wen nt to Florida, on biB own motion, to watch th< '?T count of the electoral vote in the Domocratii ed interest, but not at the request of Mr. Tilden Mr. Pelton gavo him & cipher at the Everet ^ house. Witness asserted he found no Demo cratio frauds, but plenty on the other side I*1 and countenanced no corrupt dealings, bu be transmitted to Mr. Pelton, *' as warnings t< M the Domocratic committee," two propositioni n- ?one of $50,000 and the other of $200,000Pe to sell the electoral vote of the State. T< [* one he received the answer, " Proposition acne ajptedif done only once;" he put it in th< are aDd Baid nothing to any one about it at During his stay in Florida he sent and receivec to dispatches in this cipher almost daily, but h< "y had sent none to Mr. Tildenand none fron him. His understanding was th the dig patches reaching him from Now York were eon ?r by Mr. Pelton. Of the published cipher dia rd patohes he identified a number as haying btoi m* sent or received bv him, and as having beei ' a translated with substantial correctness; other had been mistranslated, or had had a wronj meaning put upon them. He had not retaine< he his copy of the cipher, having burned all hi II, Florida papsra when he got through there ad Witness said he had nothing to do with an; ed dickering for the voto of Florida, and denie< be all knowledge of the despatch of December 4 which, according to the Trflmne translation itB road : " Marble says plan sent you Saturda; n- must be acted upon immediately." He ro ill pulsed all " plans " of that sort on tho spot n, Mr. Parris, who wrote the dispatch in question .e, was IU0O CttlltJU, piuuutcu Ulo upum-nuj uui Q8 showed tbat for "Marble" the Tribune ehoaJc nt have read " Woolley"' the "indiscreet" mat ve with whom Mr. Marble had declined to act ft8 MB. TILDES ON THE STAND. Samuel J. Tilden appeared before the com 8? mittee, was sworn, and testified as follows l8t He had read the translations of the cipher ditj an patches in tbe New York papers, but did no r" recognize a single document, either in ciphe: 9? or translation that he had ever seen before "J He never entered into any arrangement to pur chase the vote of South Carolina or Florida of and had no information or suspicion tbat suet Cy arrangements were being carried on until hi ie" saw the dispatches in the New York Tribune ?K He had no knowledge or dealings with an] u* parties to these negotiations. On the morning "> of November 20, 1876, Mrs. Col. Pelton men tioned in hiB presence that her husband hac ou gODO f0r the day. and later in tho day he wai called upon by Mr. Cooper and told by hin ^e, that he had received an offor from some part] to obtain for money tho vote of South Caro lina. He (the witness) said he would author 'm ize no such transaction nor spend money foi tr. any Buch purpose. He obtained Colonel Pel he ton's address in Baltimore and telegraphec 5~ him to come back ; he did not use any cipher and knew nothing of any ciphers passing between Colonel Pelton and others, and could no have translated them if he bad. In regard t( ?" Florida, he never saw one of the telegrams either in cipher or in translation, and was no ?8 infoi d even that any negotiations we'< b" goint on in regard to obtaining illegal]] the certificates of the returniog board Mr. Marble called occasion-illy, and told hin 111 abont tho corruptions of the Florida board )w In regard to the Oregon dispatches, ho did no Dn know they came in cipher until after the meet " ing of the committee appointed to investigati d- them. Gen. Grant wrote him a letter a fev al days after the election, recommending tha tbe oommittee should go South to Bee a fail count. He had nothing to do with these com mittees, and never heard from them but once I and that was in a communication signed bj e? Mr. Ottendorfer snd others. Uuder no cir cumstances did he enter into any compotitioi ke to secure electoral certificates by vonal induce sr ments. There never was an honr or a minnt< pt in which he entertained such a thought Tc '6, the people whom he believed elected him Propi a- dent of the United States, and to the four mil of Hons of citizens who were defrauded of thei] n- rights of suffrage, he owed the dnty of pro t), claiming that he would not yield one jot 01 ta tittle of his rights ; whatever evils might result lis from this subversion of the electoral system e- he resolved he would enter into no auction foi li- the purchase of tho chief magistracy of the retl. pubfio. He was resolved that he would protest 10 against the wrong by which the people had id been defrauded ont of their rights. Upoc al cross-examination Mr. Tilden said he had ar at interview with Colonel Pelton, after the lattei if returned from Baltimore, and his expression! at were &n outburst of impatience and displeasure Swith Colonel Pelton'a conduct. Colonel Peltor was sometimes oalled acting secretary, but he le had no money and no power to do anything >w withont the concurrence of another man. He o- did not know that Pelton bad made any enta gagement or encouraged any offer in regard tc ly the sale of the South Car iiila vote. After witDt nesa had promptly and 'Yectually stopped, all jy proceedings of tho so" J did'not suppose thej it would be renewed; J ?derstood that Colonel ? Pelton had merely f ind an otter. Mr. Til II u*..W," - <?- v'.V." -. ' puroh&se an electotal vote before the ptLbli* lion of these dispatches, and he regarded th< m nftflmntR to Mil. not to buv: he VU flj told of the Florida matter by Sfr. Marble, w remarked to him that the Florida vote h been for sale. Mr. Tilden said he knew 8mi M. Weed, bnt hia relations with him were r more confidential than with any other proi nent Democrat; he did not know of ft Weed's presence in South Carolina nr after his return. He then had a br conversation with him. fie took him task for engaging in snoh transactions. Wb Mr. Cooper informed him of the South Cai lina proposition he (Mr. Cooper) said nothi to indicate that he had encouraged Coloi i Pelton to believo that any money would furnished. Witness supposed that the gent men who went 8outh were competent to p< i form the duties for which they had been eele , ed by the national committee, and ho nei , gave them any instructions, or undertook . exercise any supervision over them. He v , irritated with Colonel Pelton for having ai ' thing to do with the South Carolina propc tion. If he (.the witness) had any dupositi . to engage in any such transaction, Colonel F i ton was the last man in the United Statos wbi i he would have permitted to have anything . do with it; he regarded Colonel Pelton's acti [ as a piece of officious meddling. In the cf i which the witness had published he did not > fer to the Baltimore transaction, because i did not think it was necessary; all that ho s i in that case was strictly true. He knew no . ing whatever about the ciphers, and did i , hnow the negotiators had been refused; but ; knew the Baltimore negotiation had been era i ed, an1 that he had crashed it. He had interview with Weed before he went South,a . did not know of the Florida offer until Decern' i 6. 1876. He did not watch the presidenl j contest carofuliy, nor with absolute indifl r enco. He did not expect to be fully advii : about what was going on. He was positi . at any rate, that he never saw a dispatch fr r Marble, and had no recolleotion of ever hav r heard of it nntil the present time. The ? ) intimation he had of the contest he lean r from the newspapers. He had no idea v - waB at the other end of the wire from visit > statesmen in the South. He assumed, h< fV.n nafiAnol T\omn^rofift rtnmmtf . was in consultation. He didn't trouble b: i flolf to learn what members of the commit , were looking after the affaire in the 8on i He was not aware that Col. Pelton was act t for the committee. Pelton was not a man > be trusted with any momentous iBsue. Wi 3 out excusing Pelton in the least, and such \ ) not his intention, be would say that there 1 - been rumors of venality about those th 3 States, Louisiana, Florida and South Caroli i and he declared before God and his conn i that he thought these States were bought, i r that the presidency was controlled by tl f purchase. j Mr. Hiscock here asked witness to name i I evidence proving that any of the return i board had beon bought, and Mr. Tilden repl j that MoLin, of the Florida returning boa ; bad sworn that he had given a false certifies 3 Mr. HUcock replied that witness was mist&k . that McLin had sworn to nothing of the e< , Mr. Hiscock said that McLin bad testil , that he had been approached by Manton LI t ble with an offer for tho purchase of vol . He (Mr. Hiscock) deemed it his dnty to m 1 this refutation in the face of Mr. Tilden's > persiona on McLin's character. Mr. Tilden > plied that he would be just to every i t in this examination, and " shall protect i j self fully without going into matters c r nected with my family relations."' Mr. I , cock disclaimed any such intent. The witn 1 was then asked if ho had any information t the time that the returning boards of So: Carolina and Florida were for sale, and if [ could give the names of the gentlemen' v > told him so. He replied that he could . give the name of any man. He admitted t r up to the time that Pelton went to Baltimore > bad no knowledge excepting newspaper > formation about the alleged corruption of > Itepcblicans in dealing with the return . boards. After a few more questions not t special interest, Mr. Tilden's examinat . closed. ; Mr. Parris was then recalled and testil ; that he wont to Florida in 1876 ae counsel look after the Democratic interests, but t | while there he knew of no action looking to 1 infl uencing of the returning board by mon Goorgo W. Smith, Mr. Tilden's private see tary, was the last witness called, and ^ briefly examined concerning the reception telegrams at Mr. Tilden's house, after wh the sitting closed, the chairman stating th would probably be no more witnesses examii in New York.

Lead Poisoning. ^ A New York paper says: A few dayi bo since a man died in West Tenth street, ad this city, of a malady known as " paint:th ers'colic." This disease in reality is a ^ form of chronio poisoning from tne ab< Ir" sorption of lead through the lungs, the itii skin, and the saliva, and which too freief quently proves fatal in its effects. Wellto marked symptoms of this " colio " ofter show themselves where they might be ng least expected to ooour.
