'aie. Ne (.arty, the celebrated t iitior ati' dtatl-I Ist, has recalled the Lragic I'lf-au in which hie was one of the prinicipals. and a correspondent tells the story as follows : Captain 'age Mc..Carty w e the last of the famoub Southern duelists. ile - was in May, i873, one of the pri nici pals in an atfair that wa- rolaniLc as well as fatal. He killed John Moruaeeni, a prominent lawyer, and 'was h im-elf terribly wounded. Tio lady who was at that, time the belle of the SouLi wias tho Innocent cause of this duel. McCarty came of the best stock. One %f his ancestors was speaker of the old lfoule of Burgesses, away back iu 1715. -lie and Mordecal were nton.t the same age. They were deskinalte at the Uili versity of Virginia when' lawv students there just before the war. McCarty, as i- voluriteer, was present at ,bo timo of the time of the captur of 'arpur' . - L"erry. He was then a btardless youth, but it was not long before he was rap - idly prolpoted from private and became a c'aptaln of antil .rv , After the war Cap ain Medarly turn ed his attention to newspaper and literary work. In the yea- 1813 lie and his old friend, Mordecai., were both desperately in love with Miss Mary Trpiett, who was at that timo the nost celebrated beauty in Virginia, if not in the whole South. A grand ball was given in April of the year mentioned, and all the fashionable peoplo of Rich mnd were there. On this' occasion liss Triplett wounded the feelinks of Captain McCarty by showing a decided preference to dance with some one else. Shortly after the ball the fol . lowing verse was printod -in a local newspaper, but no name was signed to it : 'When Mary's form diviiie I press, In 8trauss s sweetest waltz., -'lhose lips 1. too, would faina caress, A ltho' th'o lips he fae."' -John Mordecal was sitting at a res taurant on Main street waiting for his order for breakfast to be fillied when he read these lines. Ills friend, Wil hiam Rloyall, one of the leaiding lawyers In LRichmond, was with hi mi. Mor~iecai sigid It was evident that McCarty had written tho verse and that the'"Mary" ref.erredl to was Miss Trriplett. Lle an nounced his purpogo to hold McCarty peF~onally responsible. Mr. Riuyall in sisted that if the author of ,he pu0 blica tion was to he punished thero was lio reason whby Mordecai shouldiundertake to do it, as the k.ady hadly grown bruith er and other mnale relatives. But the young lawyer was terribly angry and he would not listen to the advice of hkis 5friends, lie sought the counsel o f Wl 11am Lt. Trigg, the present, head of the W. 1.1. Trrigg ship building company. Mr. Trigg took the same view of the matter as did Mr. Il'eyali and Mordecal was .finally eonvinced that, it would ho a mIstake for 191z t~o 0.hallenge Mc Carty. ., . . . f The old Itichmond Club was then the place where tihe-utltra-fashilonable geni ,timen of Richmond spenOit their even in~s.'

WilY STilt ASIfES 01 TH1A, PAST? hireaCntse! Our lDeal lioroem Shall Not Go Without Their Famio. I t. 11l. .Palmer, D.D., the annual otrator of the Confederate reunion in Louisville, answered this q uestion as follows: "Accustomed through sixty years to address public assemblies, I ai iever theless subdued with awe in your pres ence today ; for we stand together un der the shadow of the past. I t is the solemn reverence one mig ht feel in the gloom uf Westminster Abbey, sur rounded by l'ngland's Illustrious ilead. Indeed, we are here the living repro sentatives of countless comrades who sleep iII lonely cemeteries throughout the land; where perchance a single monumental shaft Is the ghostly senti nel keeping watch over the hivouae of the dead. " It is live and thirty years since tihe Confederate war was closed, and about thirty-nine years since it was hgun; and it is sometimes asked why we should Atir tihe ashes of that ancient feud, why we should not bury the past in its own grave, and turn to the living issues of the present and the fliure. 'To this question, comiiirades, we retmu : the answer with a voice loud a. seven tlinders, because It is our history and the history of our dead horoes, who shall not go without their fame. As long as there are men who Wear the gray, they will gather the charred embers of their old camp fires, and in the blaze of these ruunions tell the story of the martyrs who fell in the defense of co intry and of truth. "Nay, more than Lhis: It i.s the story of a strife that marks an epoch in the annals of the A merican people. It is known to every school boy in the land that two parties existed at the formna tln of our government, who could not agree In locating the paraloiulit sove cignty which should decide upon all issues arising between the States and themselves. The lederabsts, as they were termed, demanded a strong gov ernment, concentrating power in the national adilinistration: the I epubli can.s, on the otner liano, contended for the distribuLion of power among the States, ciaiming their original sover elguity a.nong their reserved rights. Both parties were too strong to allow the question to le determined by arbi tration or through forensic llicusision. It was, therefore, permittei to sumnber beneath certain ambigui tics of ex pression in the constitution itself, to be ,ettied by the exigencis of the future, not as in abt act pri lci ple, but as 1n accompliled fact. I need not reilind youi how 1his hsue v. as. raised in I 132, and was )ostjp(oned through the conciliatory legislation of that period. Such nll issue could not, however, sleop forever. The admis soUn of new States into the Union, with their conliicting interests, nut, reopen t ;( qutsLion and compel discusLion. Thus it aroso in our day, leading to the establishment of the boouthern Confed eracy and to ihe civil war that followed. " It is simple folly to suppoed that such a sponltaneous lprisillg as that of our people in 1860 and 186l could be effected through the machinations of politicians alone. A movement so sud den and bo vast instantly swallowing il ali minor contentions, would only spring from some great faith deeply planted in the human heart and for which men were willing to die. What ever mry have been the occasion of the war, its 'eardo causae,' the hinge on which it turnleid, was this old question of State sovereignty as against national supremacy. As there could be no compromise between the two, the only resort was an appeal to the law of force, the 'ultimai ratio regum."' The suirrendler at Appotuat Lox, when the tattered remnant, of Lee's great, army stood guard for the 1ast time over Southern liberties and rights, drew the equatorial line divid ing between the past, and the fu Lure of American history. When the will of the strongest instead of tihe 'consent of the governed' became the base of our national structure, a radical transfor mlation took place. The pri nciplle of confederation gave wazy to thlat of con sol idathun and the Amierican nation emierged out of the Amtierican replic .
