How a Kentucky I'reacher Whipped & Bally. Atitmta fionstiltUion. This story is told of Dr. H. C. Morri? son : ^Speaking of ! ministers," remarked Dr. Morrison, "reminds mo of a cele? brated duel that occurred in Millars town, Grayson county, Kentucky^ in 1843.. In that case a preacher was one of the principals in an affair of honor. "The preacher was Rev. Mr. Bowman, better known as'Fighting Bill Bowman,* along, raw-boned, rough and ready kind of man, full of piety and pugnacity. "If another preacher got up in the I pulpit and started preaching it all de? pended upon Bill's views .on the subject as to whether be would submit to it or not. On one occasion a brother minister tried it, and his and Bill's views differed widely on the subject. * " 'Here. Brother Blank, remarked i Bill, 'that doctrine isn't worth pancakes. Sit down and let rae show you how to preach.' ' "In pursuance of his own ideas on the subject, Bill tben ascended the pulpit and fired volley after volley of orthodox gospel at the heads of bis astonished hearers. "There was no foolishness about Bill Bowman. He was a good man?a God? fearing man in his rough way?but it was worse than folly to uudertake to cross him when he became satisfied that he was right. "On the occasion iu question there was a tough citizen iu the audience who had conceived a violent dislike for Brother Bowman. "He was a holy terror in Graysou County, in those pioneer days when men ruled by might more than by right. "We will call him Brown, for short, and wheoever Brown goton the war-path all these who did not feel disposed to have their heads punched or bodies bruis? ed gave bim a wide berth. "On a Sunday he went to one of the churches included in Bill Bowman's circuit with the avowed inteution of going for the .preacher. He had deter* mined to settle with the preacher at once and for all, and be boasted of his deter* mination among his cronies. "Brother Bowman heard of it and when he ascended the pulpit steps he had a look about him that was omi* nous. "He read the Scriptures, lined tbe hymns, offered the prayers and went through with the usual routine. "Then he took his text, and it was one that was peculiarily appropriate for the occasion and the subject in hand. '.'When be began preaching, there was no mistaking the drift of his discourse. He went for the bullies and ruffiacB without gloves, and among the number he particularized Bully Brown, who sat scowliUg in a corner.. Of course Brown was enraged. He waited until tbe ser? mon was about concluded, when he arose and used some very pointed language toward the preacher, and then strode out. "The sermon was concluded with a terrible denunciation of the bully and his conduct, and then tbe preacher concluded the Bervice in the usual way. "On the following day Bill Bowman received a challenge to meet Bully Brown iu open combat to settle the matter and remove the. etaiua from the bully's wounded honor, "Brother Bowman was not backward iu the least particular,, and, having the choice of weapons, he selected them at once* "Through his second he notified Bully Brown 'that he would meet bim at a specified time and place, and that a half bushel of Irish potatoes, selected the size of a man's fist, should be the weapons. These were to be picked up one at a time, and the due?Bts were to throw them at each other, at a distance of fifteen paces, until the potatoes were exhausted or tbe duelists were satisfied. "This selection infuriated Brown. He .considered that it waa heaping insult on indignity, and he fairly raved over it. "But he was compelled to accept, as Brother Bowman was firm iu his posi? tion, "Of course Buch a unique affair attract? ed a great crowd, and on the day ap? pointed there was an immense gath? ering at the place appointed for tbe fight. "Bowman was an expert hand at throwing, and when the principals took their places and the word was given, Brown threw at Bowman with all his might and missed. "Bowman had reserved his fire, and as Brown stooped to pick up another potato, Bowman let drive aud the missile went strait to the mark. It raised a knot on Brown as large as tbe potato. "Tben the fight became hotter. Brown was wild with anger, and his potatoes were thrown at random. Bowman was cool and self-possessed, and he made every shot tell. "For five or ten minutes tbe battle raged, but about tbe time the sixth pota? to raised its lump on Erown's body the latter cried enough. "Ho was badly beaten, He was bruis? ed and bunged up to such an extent that he had to be carried to his bed and a physician was summoned to attend to bis wounds. "When he got up he was tbe worst cowed man in Graysou County, and after that he was never known to offer a challenge again." "That suggests a good idea," remarked a gentleman who had listened to the story. "Now, suppose our Georgia duelists would try that sort of a battle. It would not only be less liable to pro? duce fatal results, but it would also aid in the development of a farming iodus try that might lead to valuable re suits." "That's bo," remarked another, "and then it would be a bonanza for the retail grocers." ? An instance of close figuring has come to light in an American city. A woman wanted some peas fordinner, and coming down town in the afternoon, learned that they were 25 cents a half peck. After considerable argument, she succeeded iu getting two quarts for 12 cents, and the next morning, as she needed a half-peck, she came down and got the other 2 quarts at the same price. She Baved 1 cent. ? On a farm at Unadilla, Mich., war broke out between the beeB and the tur? keys, and seventeen of the latter were stung to death before tlio cessation of hostilities An Echo from the Civil War. Chicago, October 2,?A most peculiar accident occuried yesterday afternoon in the Lib by prison. Resting against one of the pillars were a number of old war muskets. No one was nearer than 5 feet to them. Suddenly ono of the muskets was discharged, the contents tfeari?g ? ho'e in the ceiling aboVfe. The report Was terrible, and several people were greatly excited. How thfe oltl ml?.sket was exploded h? ?n? cau explain. It had tlobe service during the late war, and some soldier bad londe'd it in readi? ness to Gre. It Was placed uraong tbe other relics, apparently, without being overhauled. The charge must have been in the musket at least' twenty six year*. Ahybody Can be a Doctor. Boston, Mass., S ;-t. 23?A special from Portsmouth, N. II., aayjj: A great sensation has been r.mised there by the Uiecovery of another acikely maintained bnguH college of rneuicirp, similar iu management and largrjr ih bXirilt than the Druid College, of Mat tie, a full expose of which was niadn sutne ymrs ago. The latest chartered institution is Trinity University of Medicines and Su: gery, having nominal headquarters a. Bennington, Vt. Ita methods of business briefly told are the3e: Any person desiring to buy a di? ploma covering both medicine and sur? gery has, if possessing the necessary mouey, been given his. choice of the following institutions, all of which exist merely on paper: The University of Cincinnati, Montreal Medical College, New York State Medical College, Tren? ton, N. J., Medical College, University of New Hampshire, Trinity University of Medicine and surgery* The value of sheepskins representing the above insti? tutions has varied from ?60 to $300 each. There is no doubt but that hundreds of tbem have been purchased throughout tbe West and South, while New England alone has been victimized by scores* Carrying Concealed Weapon?. Senator Shannon said in reference to his bill to repeal the law against carrying concealed weapons: "The law is a dead let ter, and it might as well be repealed. It is impossible to enforce it literally, and' occasionally it gets a good citizen into trouble. I have known instances where a member of the grand jury would go into a store and deposit a pistol he had been carrying in his pocket, and tben go up to the jury room and indict some fellow who had been caught with a weapon. "Two fellows were out on a creek and saw a. snake. One. said to the other: "Got your pistol with yon? If you have, kill that snake." The man pulled out his pistol and killed the snake, and the other fellow went straight to town and had him indicted, and he was fined $100." "He ought to have whipped his friend," said Senator Harris. "He did," said Senator Shannon; "he went home the next day and met bim in the'road. Thereupon he pulled bim across his horse and wore him out." "Then he ought to be satisfied," uaid Senator Harris; "be got his money's worth.". "I am not specially interested in the bill," continued Senator Shabnon, N"but I would like to vote for it and I would like to see it pass."?Atlanta Constitution. All inventive genius of Taladega, Ala., has perfected a machine on which he will secure letters patent, the purpose of which is to take up the usual church collections ou Sundays in place of the hat or contribution box. The power is furnished by a small water motor. The contrivance consists of a aeries of small wires directly over each pew arid altach ed to the ceiling. Along the sides of tbe building and also attached to the ceiling are two small wires running at right angles with the other wires, and to these wires he has attached two contribution boxes, suspended by another wire within easy reach of the occupants of the pews. The whole thing is set in motion by pulling a wire attached to tbe motor. The contribution boxes then begin to pass along tbe pews and receive the con? tributions. If there are vacant pews the contrivance is so arranged that by pull? ing a wire it can be made to skip any pew that has no occupant. '\ ? According to the New York Even? ing Sun, Long Island can boast of a farm which Is operated entirely by the labor of insane people. It is known as the Ialip farm, and 250 lunatics are employed upon it. It was a wilderness a few years ago, but< has been brought 'to a high etate of cultivation. Grain, fruits and flowers are grown upon it, and tbe men engaged in their production are said to take a deep interest in their work. Tbey were sent there from city institutions by the commissioners of charities and cor? rection, and the ex peri men: ib declared to have proved a pronounced uuccess. ? A new departure is proposed in mis? sionary enterprise. Certain British capi? talists have applied for a charter to obtain possession of a large tract of Africa for trading purposes, the chief objectof which is to protect and civilize the natives. They propose to exclude the liquor traffic and heartily to co operate with mission? ary societies in their work. ? The man with the largest foot in tbe world is probably the Rev. John Farn ham, of Charlotte, N. C. He wears a number 35J shoe, which requires a sole 20 inches long and 7 inches broad. The business of manufacturing his shoes is conducted at Philadelphia, and it con? stitutes one of the most extensive indus? tries of that city. ? It is not often that a woman has her head completely turned, but passing by some other woman's new bonnet gives the head a good twist. HEB HEALTH WAS EU i NED. Mrs. Alexander Vaughn, wife of one of the most prominent and extensively known merchants of Prescott, Ala., writes the following letter under date of April 22,1889: "I owe the preservation of my life under Providence to Swift's Specific-(S. S. S.j ? For four years ray health was wretched, ruined?my life, a life of con? stant pain and misery and torture. Food soured on my stomach, and what I ate to day I would vomit to-morrow. My sleep at night was broken with the most horrible visions in dreams, so much so, that I could not bear to be left alone; chronic diarrhoea, a paiuful cough that threatened me with consumption; my feet and ankles were twisted out of all por;portion, and my limbs swelled more or less. I could not walk except on a level floor, and then with difficulty, and for a while could not get in or out of bed without assistance. The pressure of a finger on my body would leave its Impression, and in short I thought I had dropsy, in addition to my afflictions. Two doctors treated me faithfully du? ring these four years, but did me no good ?the medicines they gave me were as useless as stagnant water. My friends thought I would die, suffering as I was with 3uch a combination of diseaees. In 1887 I discontinued the use of the medicines I bad been heretofore taking and began to take Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) Five bottles of this truly wonderful medicine was what worked tbe miracle of my complete and permanent recovery." Treatise on blood and skin disoases mailed free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Drawer 3, Atlanta Ga. ? The Piedmont Exposition, at Atlan? ta', Ga., will open on the 7.h of October and continue for one mouth.
