Apropos of duelling and duels, which are be? coming too prevalent in this section, Mark Twain contributes the following in the interest of humanity: The only merit that I ran claim for the fol? lowing narrative is, that it is a true story. It has a moral at the end of it, but I claim noth? ing on that, as it is merely thrown in to curry favor with the religious element. **. After I hud reported a couple of years on the Virginia Ci;y (Nevada) Daily Enterprise, they !promoted me to the editor-in-chief?and I asted just a week by the watch. But I made an uncommon lively newspaper while I did last, and when I retired I had a duel on my hands and three horse-whippings promised me. The latter I made no attempt to collect; how? ever, this history concerns only the former. It was the old "flush times" of the silver excite? ment, when the population was wonderfully wild and mixed; everybody went armed to the teeth, and insults had to be atoned for with the best article of blood your system could furnish. In the course of my editing I made trouble with a Mr. Lord, editor of the rival paper. He flew up about some little trifle or other that I had said about him. I do not remember now what it was. I suppose I called him a thief, or a body-snatcher, or an idiot, or something like th at. I was obliged to make the paper reada? ble, and I could not tail in my duty to a whole community of subscribers merely to save the exaggerated sensitiveness of an individual. Mr. Lord was offended, and replied vigorously in his paper. Vigorously means a great deal when it refers to a persoual editorial in a fron? tier newspaper. Duelling was all the fashion among the upper classes in that country, and very few gentlemen would throw away an op? portunity of lighting one. To kill a man in a duel caused a man to be even more looked up to than to kill two men in the ordinary way. Well, out there, if you abused a man and that man did not like it, you had to call him out and kill him; otherwise you would be dis? graced. So I challenged Mr. Lord, and I did hope be would not accept; but I knew perfect? ly well that he did not want to fight, and so I challenged him in the most violent and impla? cable manner. And then I sat down and suf? fered till the answer came. All our boys?the editors?were in the office "helping" me in the dismal business, and telling about duels, and discussing the code with a lot of ruffians who bad experience in sucb things, and altogether there was a loving interst taken in the matter which made me unspeakably uncomfortable. The answer came?Mr. Lord declined. Our boys were furious, and so was I?outhe sur- j face. I sent him another challenge, and another and another; and the more he did not want to fight, the bloodtbirstier I became. But at last me man's tone changed. He appeared to be waking up. It was becoming apparent that he Was going to fight me, after all. I ought to have known how it would be?he was a man who never could be depended upon. Our boys were exultant. I wos not, though I tried to be. It was now time to go out and practice. It I was the custom there to fight duels with navy j six-shooters at fifteen paces?load and empty till the game for the funeral was secured. We went to a little ravine just outside of town, and borrowed a barn door for a target?borrowed it of a gentleman who wa3 absent?and we stood this barn door up, and stood a rail on end against the middle of it to represent Lord; and ?ut a squash on top of the rail to represent bis ead. He was a very tall, lean creature, the poorest sort of material for a duel?nothing but a line shot could "fetch" him, and, even then be might split your bullet. Exaggeration aside, the rail was, of course, a little too thin to represent his body accurately, but the squash ! was all right. If there was any intellectual difference between the squash and his head it was in favor of the squash. Well, I practiced aud practiced at the barn door, and could uot hit it; and I practiced at the rail, and could not hit that; and I tried hard for the squash, and could not hit the squash. I would have been entirely disheart? ened, hut that occasionally I crippled one of the boys, and that encouraged me to hope. At last we began to hear pistol shots near by, in the next ravine. We knew what that meant. The other party were out practicing, too. Then I was in the last degree distressed; for, of course, those people would hear our Bhots, and they would send spies over the ridge, and the spies would find my barn door without a wound or a scratch, and that would simply be the end of me?for, of course, that man would become as bloodthirsty as I was. Just at this moment a little bird, no larger than a sparrow, flew by, and lit on a sage bush, about thirty paces away; and my little second, Steve Gillis, who was a matchless marksman with a pistol? much better than I was?snatched out his re? volver, and shot the bird's head off. Wc all ran to pick up the game, and, sure enough, just at that moment some of the other duelists came reconnoitering over the little ridge. They ran to the group to see what the matter was; and when they saw the bird, Lord's second said: "That was a splendid shot. How far off was it?" Steve said with some indifference: "Ob, no great distance. About thirty paces." "Thirty paces! Heavens alive, who did it?" "My man?Twain." "The mischief he did! Can he do that of? ten?" "Well?yes. He can do it about?well about four times out of five." I knew the little rascal was lying, but I nev? er said anything. I never told him so. He was not of a disposition to invite confidence of that kind, so I let the matter rest. But it was a comfort to sec those people look sick, and see their under jaws drop, when Steve made these sentiments. They went off'and got Lord, and took him home; and when we got home' half an hour later, there was a note saying that Mr. Lord peremptorily declined to fight. it was a narrow escape. We (bund out after wards that Lord had hit his mark thirteen times in eighteen shots. If he had put those thirteen bullets through me it would nave nar? rowed my sphere of usefulness a great deal? would well nigh closed it, in fact. True, they they could iaave put pegs in the holes, and used me for a hat-rack ; but what is a hat-rack to a man who feels he has intellectual powers? I would scort: such a position. I have written this true incident of my per? sonal history for one purpose, and that purpose only?to w?.rn the youtn of the day against the pernicious practice of duelling, and to plead with them to war against it. It the remarks and suggestions I am making can be of any service to Sunday school teachers and newspa? pers interested in the moral progress of society, they are at liberty to use them, and I shall even be grateful to have them widely dissem? inated, so that they may do as much good as possible. I was young and foolish when I challenged that gentleman, and I thought it was very fine and very grand to be a duellist, and stand upon the "field of honor." But I am older ana more experienced now, and am inflexibly opposed to the dreadful custom. I think it is every man's duty to do everything he can to discourage duelling. I always do it now ; I discourage it on every occasion. If a man were to challenge me now?now that I can fully appreciate the iniquity of that Eractice?I would go to that man, and take im by the hand, and lead him to a quiet, re? tired room?and kill him. Examining a Candidate.?A gentleman from Swampville was telling how many differ? ent occupations he had attempted. Among others, he had tried school-teaching. "How long did you teach?" asked a by? stander. "Wa'al, I didn't teach long?that is, I only went to teach." "Did you hire out?" "Wa'al, I didn't hire out; I only wanted to hire out." "Why, did you give up ?" "Wa'al, I give it up for some reasons or nuther. You sec, I traveled into a deestrict and inquired for the trustees. Somebody said Mr. Smckles was the man I wanted to see. So I found Mr. Snickles, named my object, intro? ducing myself, and asked what he thought about lettin' me try my luck with the big boys and unruly gals in the deestrict. He wanted to know if I realy considered myself capable; and I told him I wouldn't mind his asking me a few easy questions in 'rithmetic and jography, or show my hand-writing. He said, never mind, he could tell a good teacher by his gait. 'Let me see you walk off a little ways,' says he, 'and I can tell jis's well's I heard you exam? ined,' says he. He sot in the door as he spoke, and I thought he looked a little skittish. But I was considerable frustrated, and didn't mind much; so I turned about and walked on as smart as I knowed how. He said he'd tell me when to stop; so I keep' on till I thought I'd gone far enough. Then I s'spected suthing was to pay, and I looked round. Wa'al, the door was shut and Snickles was gone!" The Cotton Receipts.?The influx of cot? ton this season into all the ports is almost un? paralleled in the history of that staple. The receipts nearly double those of last year, and largely exceed those of the great crop of 1869. Making all due allowances for the uncommonly favorable season, the unusual dry ness, and the rapid movement under good prices, it is obvi? ous that the estimates made last summer, un? der the influence of a drought panic, will have to be revised and corrected, and the figures placed higher. Instead of three and a quarter, it is now gen? erally conceded that the crop will exceed three and a half millions. Such a crop, when mid? dling cotton commands nineteen cents per pound, ought to go far to resuscitate and strengthen our great agriculture; and in spite of our many other drawbacks and disadvan? tages, pla'ce our section on the high road to Srosperity and wealth. It is believed that un er a system of cultivation, and with present labor, cotton can be produced at twelve to fif? teen cents p.er pound. This leaves a margin of profit, and opens a splendid prospect to the cultivators of this valuable product. If our planters will only reduce, their expeuses and keep from borrowing, raise their own corn, and get rid of their surplus land, they will soon be? come the most independent portion of our whole population.?-IV. 0. Times. Compulsory Voting.?The idea of legisla? tive enactments, both State and National, pro? viding for compulsory voting, has been broached at various periods for several years past, par? ticularly in the North. A new impetus has been given to it of late from the recent Presi? dential election returns, which disclose the fact that hundreds of thousands of voters, inclu? ding multitudes in the most popular States, ab? stained from exercising what is considered the most sacred right of American citizenship.? The propriety of calling upon Congress to pass a law providing fines or imprisonment for those who neglect to vote is now being more serious? ly agitated than would be imagined. Speaking for the future by tho light of the past, it is hard to say what Congress may or may not do. ? Every body sees the cloud on the horizon, but who thinks of the clear blue sky above it. ? One of our fashionable vouths donned his first silk hat and cigar Saturday evening. He got along well enough with the cigar, out he had to give up the hat?it made him sick at the stomach. ? "You faved my life at the battle of Mal vern Hill," said a beggar to a captain. "Saved your life! How?" said the grateful officer, giving him a quarter. "I served under you, and when you ran away I followed." ? Josh Billings gives the following advice to young men : "Don't be discouraged if yermus tach don't grow; it sometimes happens where a mustach duz the best nothing else duz so well." ? In one of the Lowell (Mass.) churches re? cently, the minister stopped suddenly when about half through his sermon, and taking the hymn book, gave out a hymn, requesting all the congregation to rise and join in the singing. After which he resumed his sermon, evidently well satisfied with the waking up which had been effected. ? An exchange says : "They have a man in Lock Haven whose name is Gaudam. His would be a nice name for a church deacon. For instance, the preacher would say, 'Gaudam, you pass the plate.' Sounds like cussin', don't it? If we were that fellow we would have our Gaudam name changed to something more rev? erential." ? A dancing-master with an eye to business has introduced for the season a quadrille called the "Kiss Quadrille," in which the gentlemen kiss the ladies as they "swing the corners." The young people of this town are anxiously inquiring whether or not this dance will be the style here this winter. ? An outside passenger by a conch had his hat blown over a bridge, and carried away by the stream. "It is very singular," said he to a gentleman who was seated beside him, "that my hat took that direction." "Not at all," re? plied the latter, "it is quite natural that a bea? ver should take to the river." ? Under the head of fashionable intelligence an exchange gives the following: "Ladies' bus? tles will be enlarged at the end of the present month, by the addition of one more newspaper. The engagement season has opened well, and there is good reason to believe that the services of our parsons will be in demand." ? A toper got so much on his stomach the other day that said organ repelled the load. As he leaned against a lamp post vomiting, a little dog happened to stop by him, whereupon he indulged in this soliloquy: "Well, now, here's a conundrum. I know where I ate the baked beans, I remember where 1 ate that lob? ster, I recollect where I got that rum, but I'm hanged if I can recall where I ate that little yaller dog." J ?

Suven years ago we adopted the plan of send? ing our "Farmer" Cooking Stoves through the country with wagons, by our traveling sales? men, in order to supply a want long felt in the South, and that each family might nave an op? portunity of seeing if not purchasing one of | these indispensable household articles. The abundant success of our enterprise throughout the States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, and the universal favor with which our Stoves are received everywhere, convinces us that in order to supply the continued grow? ing demand, we must largely increase onr for? ces at the Foundry; hence we have increased our daily manufacture of this one pattern to thir.y, and will still further increase it to fifty if o ir trade continues to demand it. Our sales? men, who will visit you, are authorized to give same terms as though you made the purchase direct from ourselves at the Foundry. We have but one price, which is cast on the Stove, and from that we never deviate. T i is Stove has no complicated arrangements, suc;i as dampers and inside flue plates, as in other Stoves, which confuse the mind, and the neglect of which interferes with the perfect working of the Stove, but .is so simple that any one may use it successfully. It is made from the best qualities of new iron, only so mixed as to secure a tough, strong plate, which is very heavy, the cracking of which by fire never oc? curs. Below we publish a few of the many re? commends we are receiving daily from some of j the best citizens of the State: [From the Abbeville Medium, 11th] Abbeville, S. C, Dec 10,1872. Messrs. Culver Brothers : We cheerfully graat you permission to use our names as you see proper hi commendation of your Fabmeb Coc kino Stove, for we regard it as being alto? gether the best Cooking Stove in use. It is all that is desirable in a Stove, for it is simple in construction, has no dampers or flues to burn out and bakes quick and beautifully. We be? speak for you a liberal patronage from onr nek hbors and friends, believing as we do that none who purchase one of these Stoves will ever regret it, but will consider it a rare prize in tiose days when good cooks are so hard to get.
