the leading woman reporter in a
this country, says, in reporting the S;
Republican and Progressive national a
conventions in Chicago last week,

candidates. The real nominating, P
she says, is not done in the conven- c
J tion halls during the sessions of the "
convention, but is done between mid- *
night and four a. m., over cigars and ^
whiskey in the "upper rooms" of s
the convention hotels. v ' ^

Phas been. How much longer it will a
go on no man can tell. There is not a
nearly so much concern in this country
over the prospects of peace as C
there was even a year ago; for even 1
the war has its compensations. The c
people of the good old U. S. A. are t
fast learning what a wonderful coun- a

a few years longer we will really live (

In printing the following, the New- j

A Famous Rifle.
Among the thousands of relics in
he United States National Museum
t Washington, there are few objects
nore replete with historical interest
han a certain Deringer rifle, cataogue
number 9,509. This rifle was
ised by Col. David Crockett, of Alano
fame, and was also the weapon
ired by the Hon. Wm. J. Graves in
he duel with the Hon. Jonathan Cil

It was made about a hundred
ears ago, and the curator of the diision
of technology says it is an
xceedingly well-made an-d finely
nished gun, being still in excellent
ondition. It is a 44 calibre, muzzle
fading sporting rifle; the octagon
ifled barrel is 45 inches long, and
itted with a full stock of curley
laple, plain open sights, a percusion
lock, and a "set" trigger.
Col. Wright Rives, U. S. A., who
as deposited the rifle in the musem,
states that it was made for his
ather, John Cook Rives, by Henry
leringer, celebrated for manufacturag
superior fire arms, particularly
he well-known pocket pistol, known
s the Deringer. John C. Rives was
ne of the publishers of the Conressional
Globe, now the Congresional
Record, and knew many conressmen,
several of whom he was
ccustomed to take out for rifle pracice
to a field, sometimes used for
orse racing, near where the corner
f 14th street and Park road now
atersect. Among them was David
Irockett,. pioneer, hunter, soldier,
nd congressman from 1827-31, and
833-35, who later lost his life at
he Alamo, in the Texas struggle for
reedom. Crockett seemed to par

oined the shooting parties to keep
limself in practice.
The circumstances which led to the
atal duel between Messrs. Graves
nd Cilley, of the house of represenatives,
in which this rifle figured so
onspicuously, were quite unusual
nd more or leiss complicated. The
eport of the investigating committee
ppointed by the house, covers the
tory of this duel well; an abstract
f it taken from "Notes on Duels and
>ueling," by Lorenzo Sabine, foldws
:
On February 12, 1838, Henry A.
Vise, of Virginia, presented to the
ouse a copy of the New York Cour*r
and Enquirer, charging a memer
of congress with corruption, and
sked for an investigation of the
harge. Mr. Wise stated that the
uthor of the article was vouched for
y the editor of the paper, and that
he house was called upon to defend
Is honor. Jonathan Cilley, member
rom Maine, opposed the resolution,
nd in debate said that if it was the
ame editor who once made charges
gainst a certain institution, and laar
received facilities amounting to

rhich he then gave his hearty suport,
he did not think the recent
har.ges were entitled to much'credit

-as in order. He was quoting a pubshed
house committee report on the
ubject, but a few days later the ediDr
of the paper, Col. James Watson
Vebb, addressed a note to him askigHf
he were the editor referred to,
nd if so, demanding an explanation.
This note was directly responsible
or the duel between Mr. Cilley and
William J. Graves, of Kentucky, who
ndertook its delivery on the floor of
he house for his friend, Col. Webb.
Ir. Cilley refused to receive the note,
ecause he chose to be drawn into no
ontroversy with Col. Webb, stating
y so doing he meant no disrespect
o the bearer, but he refused to afrm
or deny anything in regard to
Jol. Webb's character. Mr. Graves
ras not satisfied, however, and sevral
notes between them were exhanged,
with the result that Mr.
Iraves finally challenged Mr. Qilley,
ocause he would not say wrhether he

,ny personal exception to Col. Webb
.s a gentleman and a man of honor.
Naturally, Mr. Cilley denied Mr.
iraves th$ right to demand an absoute
"yes" or "no" answer and acepted
the challenge. It was a com>at
under the Duello, or Code, upon
i mere point of honor, there being
to real difficulty between Graves and
Cilley at the time.
Their seconds, the Hon. George W.
rones, delegate from Wisconsin Ter'itory,
for Mr. Cilley, and the Hon.
5enry A. Wise, of Virginia, for Mr.
Jraves, arranged the details of the
luel, which was fought with rifles at
i distance of about ninety yards,
lear the road to Marlborough, in
Maryland. Mr. Wise experienced
some difficulty in securing a rifle for
Mr. Graves's use, but finally succeeded
in borrowing Mr. Rives's Deringer
rifle, which is now in the section ot
gunnery of the museum.
The duel was scheduled for 3 p.
m., on February 24, 1838, and the
two parties met near the boundary
line of the district, on the Marlborough
road. Mr. Cilley, was accompanied
by his second, Mr. Jones,
bis friends, Mr. Bynum, of North
CJarolina, and Col. James W. Schaumburg
and by Dr. Duncan, of Ohio, as
