if?: The Last of a Professional Duel^fc "I was standing here yesterdaj afternoon," said De Vinne Xieklin, down in the Bowery, "wondering how many tons of 6words and pistols and Kl-o T 1in/l ct<i/?Vorl nn in flip V>?Y?fc of my shop, wlien a slender figure, robed in black and lliickly veiled, entered the door and laid upon the showcase in front of me an ebony case containing the finest pair of flint-lock dueling pistols I ever saw.

They were something in the nature of a family Bible to her, she said, because the birthday of her infant boy, the date of her marriage and other interesting domestic events had been neatly nicked with a bowie-knife in the ivory handles of their beautiful weapons. In the little silver-clasped cavities, always provided in the butt of dueling pistols for caps and the like, she had instead been accustomed to keep a lock of hers and her husband's hair, neatly intertwined. I bought the pistols from her, of course, being much moved by her suffering, and she left me with a bright smile upon her face, promising, when these funds ran out, that she would bring 'round the baby."?New York Recorder.

Hints For Hunters. SOMEducks are cosmopolitanothers only so by spells. So extensive is their migration that many are common to four continents. The mallard is the same on both si ties of the Atlantic?mono gamous everywhere except in contacl with man. i 80, too. the gadwell, spoonbill and 0 I few others are common to all the regions of the Northern Hemisphere, but while the hooded merganser, the golden eyes, the three little teals and the bufflehead make their homes witl us they are sometimes projected bj their swift flights like missiles on foreign coasts. The . English teal is likewise occasionally found on our shores. The wood duck, however, the redhead and the scaups are ours, along with the ringneck and "the ruddy. We have, too, as American widgeon, anel of course the canvasback is one of "oui institutions." OK THE CHEEK I)AJtd'i \ The species mentioned Are tbos* ? ^ /?aT\A?onTT fnnn/1 Manx lUU9t AWuuvy , I . ?^ an old hunter has notaeen all of these. But there are otherathat frequentihe seacoasts exclusively, thatstruggle to ub sometimes in pawing. While all pass in the fall on the way South and aflord good shooting at well known bul limited haunts, it ia mostly in the wake of the warm spring rain . and on the 6outh spring wind that ducks come tc us everywhere. Tlie * earth then it keeping open, house for them. Large swamps that were dry in autumn are flooded now to the proper depth, and little pools are strident with the screech of frogs and other wriggling / things that ducks delight in. This, too, is the stimulant season. In t^e blotchy patches in the sky, the squawk and quacks and wing swishes that fret xhe air, there is a larger hope ahead t^an a larder or a couch. Duck! hare come, are coming, are every' where. Any one that can pull triggei can bag them. The "hardpan" ponds, whose dams afford such sure approach, the narrow prairie runs, the sloughs and deep cuts of the wooded creeks, the stalk field furrows, the very way side puddles, are dotted. Everywhere are skulking, creeping figures of mer and splashing steps, and lumbago ant rheumatism find food and lodging al over the land. Where are the ducks from ? The mallard, that prince of inlanc ducks, just spreads himself during the colder months from Labrador to Panama, reveling anywhere that ice remains unformed, beating about with the lo^ storm centres. The pintail keeps him company, with a penchant for Cuba when it is verv frierid here, while the black duck acts very like them botl over a space much farther east. So. too, the gadwall, but the baldpates, spoonbills, scaups and most" others hail from Mexico, the West Indies anc Central America, and come up from t feast on the Southern lagoons for lovt anda new suit of clothes on the Northern lakes to the music of the melting ice crash. The blue wing teal goes farther south than the green wing. It is the greater traveler of the two?in fact, il has perhaps the swiftest wing amonj webfoot birds. These are apt to be t little late because they have been sc | far away. The mergansers, too, come up as the the crawling things loose their hold upon* the slimy bottoms? for they are animal feeders exclusively ?true fish ducks. The sea ducks, too, are apt to be a little late for tin same reason. But many of them make a mixed meal, and our cauvasback ii so fond of Potomac celery that it ii rather loath to leave the limits of oui territory. The wood duck may go South some CAN V ASB A CK.3. times as the ice holes close up, but he is generally with us, and you may ofteL scare him with the tinkling of yoni skate?. AVhere are they after they uo come' Why, when abundant, almost any where, as I have said, but when scarce yon want to know their pet regions. The) have them, J assure you. It is largely a matter of local experience, and il the country is strange t:> you a guidt will be an essentia! of buccssa. ()i each sule of the writer, only a mil* away, is a creek, but on one ducks art often plenty, while nut a feather it; tc bo found on the other. 15ut generally rich muddy shullc ws full of grass ruoti or crustaceous crtatures, haunts oi' th< spriug frog?, rice >r celery fields, hot torn woods, rich in acorn or bead mast, or even the cornfields, and m times the upland growing wheat, eon tain them. In all these ducks are hard to ap proaeli. Cold, blustery days, witli i thread of snow, are apt to drive then j to the wooded stream/?, where thej -r - 1 . I huddle against the lee . bank, or thr, high north bank of some prairie pool may furnish them a haven. In all re1 gions they will have their favorite roosting lakes, to which they arc much Wl ' ) wood nrcx. L attached, and your success will likely P lie more in knowing their oouch than their table. Find the route of incom , ing and outgoing by being on hand early. Conceal yourself on this line , by any blind you can find already at . hand?at least dress inconspicuously j and crouch low. Wading pants, al[ lowing you to stoop to the arm-pits in . the shallow edges, are ideal, if you can stand the two exes?exposure and expense. Take a heavy, strong, shooting gun, all the powder you can Rtand behind, and the largest 6hot that your gun will carry well at forty yards, and reach out for anything you can see the color markings on. It is down wind and down grade, too, usually, remember?flight, sails and gravity combined ?the speed about treble that of your usual shooting. Eight to ten feet ahead may not be too much sixty yards away. Calls may help when ducks are feeding, but are of little avail when they are going to roost. So, too, with decoys.

' An Iron Aritfnnetic*.i<.i. A recent foreign letter told of the enccese in London of an American in YCiilJUJU CUXiWV4 ??V ?V41U?V/AUVWW?. The Westminister Budget says of it: In general appearance the macbina is not at all unlike the typewriter, but its internal construction appear3 to be considerably more complex. Yet it is declared that it is almost impossible for it to get out of order. About twelve inches square, the upper surface consists, as iB the case of the typewriter, of a sloping keyboard, composed of keys or buttons corresponding to the various numerals. By pressing down these any amount desired, from ?1,000,000 to a penny, can be printed by means of types *- ? xi 1. ? ? operating mrougu hu juh i luaun uu the paper which is fixed on the back of the machine. Line after line of figures can be printed this -way, ponnds, shillings and pence falling into their proper places according as the respective keys are pressed down, and then at the end, in virtue of some mysterious mechanism which .seems nothing less than miraculous to the uninstructed, you pull a lever and your sum is done. Each column 01 figures is correctly added up, giving, of course, the sum total of all the amounts, is printed in its proper place underneath. THE MECHANICAL AKITHMETI CI AN. How the thing is done it is impossible to explain in detail, bnt the principle seems to be that in the case of each column of figures the machinc keeps a record of the number of figures which have been printed or. given out, so to speak, and is so able to announce at any given time the total which must be placed at the foot of each column. With one single col' ^ ? ? ? 4 T?/N4 flAfl'TI nmn ot ngnres ljliiw xui^ub nuu oocui so very remarkable, but the marveloue point about the machine under notice is that, in addition to adding up correctly, it executes with unfailing precision that more or less delicate operation of carrying forward. Thus if the total of the pence column amounts to, say, 65, it calmly records the odd 5d and carries forward tbo 5s. addinf them without turning a hair (if one may UBe so disrespectful an expression) to the shilling column, and repeating the same thing, of course, with the shillings in their turn and with eact column of the pounds. No wonder the machine took a lifetime, to construct. A Dancing Somnambulist. A young lady at school became t somnambulist. . She rose from bed anc walked in her sleep. I was taken intc consultation. I directed her nighl dress to be sewed up at the foot, sc that it formed a large bag, and then ] had the sleeves lengthened so much that each sleeve, after going aronnc the body, reached the front, where ii met the other sleeve and was securely fastened to it. Our charge retired to bed in her ne \ fangled night dress. The usual hoai for the night walk came. She raisec herself in the sitting posture, theu stood upright and commenced to walk. The second step was a trip, for the foot behind held the bottom of the baj in which sh9 stood. She stumbled, fell forward and awoke, and was pul back into bed, where 6he soon fell asleep. And now camc a curious change in the phases of the afflicted. She would still rise from bed each uight, but made no further attempt to walk as before. She would 6tand erect, and, keeping the knees perfectly rigid, spring straight upward from the floor and thus dance about the room. Thi? she would continue until fatigued ami then retire to bed to sleep. The case ended in a perfect cure.?Feareon'j Weekly. An Inmate of Thirty-two Prisons.

Judgment is forced upon us by experience. Who bravely dares must sometimes risk a fall! They lose the world who buy it with much care. What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind? Vice is a sponge which sucks in honor and gives out tears. A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill 1 manners. i Humility is not necessarily a virtue. The violet would smell just as sweet on a tree. The man who fears being taken at his trne value is always on the alert for slights. The old man who has forgotten that he ever was a boy is but a living tomb stone to ms Duriea youtn. When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered ie, how mnch has been escaped. The tears -we shed for others are mellowed by inward congratulation; those shed for ourselves, are Jbrine. jTmillstone and a human heart is driven ever round; if they have nothing else to grind, they must themselves be ground. The circumstances of the world are so variable that an irrevocable purpose or opinion is almost synonymous with a foolish one. No school is more necessary to children than patience, because either the will must be broken in childhood or the heart in old age. People are always talking of perseverance and courage and fortitude, but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude. Patience lies at the root of all pleasures as well as of all powers. Hope herjelf ceases to be happiness when Impatience companions her. At Close Quarters With a Leopard. As a rule a man does not go out leopard shooting as he goes out 6nipe shooting or tiger shooting, says Longman's Magazine. Usually the news is brought by some excited and affrighted native that a leopard has entered his premises, and, after killing a child or a goat or a fowl, has hid itself in eome shed or outhouse. Oh such an appeal it is usual to go out to try and 1 kill the leopard/ If a companion can. be found, it is better for two men to go together than for one man to go alone with native followers. Almost [ the first case I remember to which we were called we found that the leopard : was ensconced in a mat-and-thatch cowshed, of which the door had been closed on him. We rather rashly opened the door \ in order to peep in. There was a rush and a scuffle as the leopard tore the door open wider and jumped out to J escape. We were lucky in not being knocked down or even scratched. But the leopard did not get right away. It foolishly entered another shed, which was promptly closed on him and we had to begin again. My companion i climbed on to the roof with his gun I and an active native got up with him ) to tear open a hole in the thatch of t the roof. I stood on the ground with a clear space before me in case the [ leopard should turn out in my direci tion. I The eager crowd of natives, who had t come, regardless of danger, was in' duced to retire to a distance, while the most nimble of them climbed up into r trees or onto the roofs of the adjacent : huts. It takes longer to 'write this I than to give an idea of what actually i happened. The native who was tearing a hole in the thatch of the Bhed i had rashly tried to look in to see where ; the leopard was. In a moment the , leopard sprang at him, and its head J appeared through the thatch. My comI panion put his gun to the beast's head ) and sent a bullet chrough its (brain, so t that it dropped dead into the hut. But there were loud cries from the native on the roof, for the bullet, after pass, ing through the leopard's skull, had grazed the man's body, so that he was bleeding profusely and crying out that ; he wa6 killed. He was quickly brought I down from the roof of the shed, and i his wound was washed and found to be i little more than skin deep. A present of a few rupees soon comforted him, and he became, not undeservedly, the hero of the day among his fellow vili rm _ x"L? 1 | lagers. xne carcass ux me ieujjtuu was swung from a bamboo and brought to our house, and the skin became the property of my companion. Trailing Posts in the Far Northwest. The trading posts of the company are strange, quaint looking places, built according to a general type. A trading post is invariably square inclosed by immense trees or pickets, one end sunk deep in th,e ground and placed close together; a platform about the height of an ordinary mau is carried along the sides of the square, so as to enable anyone on the inside to pe?p over without being in dangerfrom arrow or bullet. The entrance is closed by two massive gates, an inner and outer, and all the houses of the chief traders and employes, the trading lions';, furroom and stores are to i Hi in t.lio fimiftrp. The trade room is cleverly contrived so as to prevent a sudden rush of Indianp, the approach from outside the pickets being through a narrow passage, only of sufficient wi.lth to admit one Indian at a time, and bent at au acute angle near the window where the trader stands. Ii the passage were straight the trader could easily be shot. At the four angles are bastions, octagonal in shape, pierced with emj brasures, to lead the Indians to believe in the existence of cannon.? Chicago Times. Miles ol Apple Trees. In the Sandwich Islands the apple has become wild and forests of tret- of many acres are found in various pari" ' of the country. They extend from the level of the sea far up into the motui- j tain sides. It is said that miles of these apple forests can occasionally be seen. One traveler pivc6 the extent of one of them as between five aud ten> miles in width au.l about twenty miieri long. v^T^r"*-w''"v '.., Bartering lor Furs. The fystem of trading at all the posts of the Hudson Bay Company is entirely one of barter. The standard of value throughout .all the territories of the company is still?as for centuries past?the skin of the beaver, by which the price of all other furs is regulated. Any service rendered by the Indian is paid for in eking, the beaver skin being the unit of computation. To explain this system/ let it be assumed that four beavers* are equivalent in value to a silver fox skin, two martens to a beaver, twenty muskrats to a marten, and so on. An Indian wishing to purchase a blanket 1 or gun from the company would give say three silver foxes or twenty beaver skins, or 200 nunskratp, or other furs, 1 according to their proper relative positions of worth in the tariff. 1 For a very evident reason the trapper price paid for fur6 is not fixed in strict accordance with their intrinsic value; if this were so all the valuable fur-bearing animals would soon Income c extinct, as no Indian would bother to ? trap a cheap fur while a high-priced one remained nncaucrht. He mav nos- E sibly have to pay five silver fox skins * for blankets worth abont $15, the value of the skins paid representing 13 3200, still he can if he chooses buy the I same article by paying for it in musk- * rat, yellow fox, or other furs of in- * ferior worth. ?Chicago Times.
