CoIoduI T. 15. Tliorpc drams upon Lis long
experience in the Southwest fur soma inter
esting stories about dueling, which are
published iu the August number odarper't
Monthly. Ho Ulls of a descendant of General
Philip Schuyler, who, some thirty years ago,
while travelling in that section, was set upon
by an outlaw. He says :
"Tho man's name was Gamble; be bad
committed innumerable murders, and defied
arrest or punishment. He had been repeated
ly warned by the constituted authorities of
bis state, declared an outlaw, and a large
reward was then offered for his arrest.
Schuyler was a stranger, and at the time
was waiting at the village tavern for the
mail-stage. To loiter away the time, be was
with a number of the villagers sitting at a
table amusing himself with conversation and
indulging at the same time in fits ef laugh
ter. Suddenly the party was interrupted
by a yell almost as loud as a stcum-whistle,
which noise was followed by a volley of
braggadocio epithets and. the geueral
inquiry, 'What the people round the table
were making all that noise about t'
"The parties in the locality turned pale
as they recognized the redoubtable Gamble,
fur they saw there was mischief in his fren
zied eye. The outlaw, having delivered
himself of the opinion that every man pre
sent was a sneak aud a coward, euded. with
deliberately discharging a mouthful of tobac
co spittle upon the polished boot of Bchuv.
ler, who was the ouly person in the room
who could, by external appearance, be pro
nounced a gentleman. The rude men who
witnessed this congratulated themselves that
the blow bad fallen upon a helpless traveller,
and that in the skirmishing and catastrophe
that must follow they could make their es
cape. "To Schuyler this insult was electrical.
and, rising with indignation be demanded
of Gamble (of wbose history at the time be
knew nothing) :
" 'Did you intentionally spit upon my
boot t"
"Gamble was speechless with rage and
astonishment, and as soon as bo could .re
cover tbe use of bis tongue be thundered
out :
" 'Yes 1 and I'll do tba same for your face
next time.' But before be could carry bis
disgusting threat into execution Schuyler
struck the outlaw such a blow. in the chest
tbat the ruffian weut reeling against tbe side
of tbe wall. In another instant the parti
closed with each other, and a rough-and-tumble
fight ensued, la which each party
attempted in vain to use their knives. The
maotators formed a rine and looked ssceol-
ly od as ifit bad been a dogfight. If Gamble
was killed, they got clear ofthe terror of
the vicinity; if the stranger, what difference
did it make to tnem I me ogni continued,
without seeming tlamsge, until bnth parties
separated for a moment from exhaustion ;
but as they were about to renew the contest
the landlord interfered, and suggested that
both men be shut up in a dark room, each
armed with a revolver and a bowie-knife,
and be thus left in a quiet way to fight it
out Mike gentlemen.'
"The proposition was received with
cheers, and Gamble especially endorsed the
froposition. Schuyler was silent, but showed
liunself to be as resolute and fearless as a
tiger. When the duelists were placed on
the opposite sides of tbe room by the land
lord, and as he was about to disappear, the
bravo said :
11 'Major, have julep ready for me in fifteen
minutes.' Schuyhtr said :
" 'If I fall, you will find on my person a
silver watch and thirty dollars in New York
money ; bury me decently, and keep what
remains above necessary expenses for your
trouble.'
'The landlord then retired and locked
the door, the barroom spectators hanging
rouud the outside, speculating on the result,
or buttiDg drinks and small sums of money
to bnck up their opinions. Not a person iu
that crowd believed that Schuyler stood the
slightest possible chance of escuping with
his life. These frontiersmen could not be
lieve that a delicately built, gentlemanly
man, with efTumiuate fuce and fair bands,
could be equal to such an encounter.
"Many seconds elapsed before any noise
was heard ; then followed quick reports of
the pistols. It was evident that a deadly
strugglo was going on, and one of the party
seemed to have fullen on the floor. Again a
scuffle ensued and another body fell.
"The persons in the barroom now joined
those up stairs, and headed by the landlord,
the 'den' was opened. A terrible sight of
blood met tho eyes of these men. Gamble
was nl ready dead, and Schuyler lay on the
floor insensible from loss of blood.
"Nothing could exceed the care that was
bestowed upon Schuyler by his now entbu
static frontier admirers. They sat by his
bedside and watched hi 111 as their child.
In a few weeks he was perfectly restored t"
lieulth, and the people tlie country round
came to thank him for his prowess. It is
further stated that, by the advice of his
friend tbe landlord, who refused all remu
neration for his hospitality, Schuyler went
to the capital ofthe state and obtained not
only the reward set upon the outlaw's life, but
also was the recipient of a complimentary
dinner from the Governor and other high offi
cials, lie even had lucrative and honorable in
ducements hold out to settle permanently in
the community. But his experiences in the
backwoods were not agreeable, and' he re
turned to his native New York, considering
iu dangers and temptations preferable to a
life in the piue forests of the South."

when Bascom. who bez some 5 20s, riz and

The following Is extracted from Dana's
"Life of Grant." Grant's personal habits
and tost' are exceedingly simple Ha de
spises the pomp and show of empty parade,
aud, in his severe simplicity and manly pride,
he scorns all adventitions aids to popularity.
He lives plainly bimself, and caunot tolerate
ostentation or extravagance in those about
him. His mess was never luxuriously,
though slways bountifully, furnished with
army rations, and such supplies as could be
transported reatlily and easily in the limited
number of wagons that he permitted to
follow his headquarters. His appetites are
all under perfect control. He is very ab
stemious, and during his entire Western
campaign, the officers of his staff were for
bidden to bring wines or liquors into camp.
He has been represented as one of the most
taciturn of men, and in one respect bo is
such. He never divulges his thoughts until
they are matured, nnd never aspires to
speech-making, and in private conversation
he fall into silence if he suspects that be is
likely to be reported.
He is the most modest of men, and noth
icg annoys him mora than a loud parade of
personal opinion or personal vanity ; but
with bis iutiraate friends, either at home or
around tho catuD fire, be talks upon all sub
jects, not only fluently and copiously, but
in tbe most charming ana good naturen
manner. His life has been too busy to read
history or technical works, but be has always
been a close and careful reader of the news
papers. Ho has a retentive memory, and Is
deeply interested in all matters which con
cern the interests of humanity, and partic
ularly his own country. Upon all such sub
jects, in fact, upon all the vital questions of
the day he thiuks carefully and profoundly,
and expresses himself with great ease and
good sense. His understanding is of that
incisive character that soon probes a ques
tion to tbe bottom, no matter bow much the
politicians and newspader may labor to
confuse it ; while bis judgment is so delib
erate, honest and truthful io its operations,
that it may be implicitly relied upon to
arrive at a fair and unbiased conclusion.
Hi memory is stored with personal inci
dents illustrative of men and manner in all
parts of the country, showing that be bas
evidently been a profound student of human
nature throughout life ; bis appreciation of
men and character has never been surpassed.
This wo well shown in tbe reorganization
of tbo army after he became Lieutenant
General. It is well known that he did not
fail in a siocle instance where a change was
made iu putting the right man in tho right
place. Thi was due neither to cbauce nor
snap judgment, but to hi babit of careful
observation. He warm toward a bold,
outspoken, and loyal nature ; full of ardor
and zeal bimself, be naturally admire
these qualities in other. H ha no patience
with a weak, complaining and eelfish dis
position, and cannot endure double dealing
or indirectness of any sort. Straightforward
and frank in all thing himself, be respects
those qualities wherever tbey are found.
Indeed, tbe most striking peculiarity of hi
nature, both as a man aud a General, i a
profound and undoviating truthfulness 1st
all thing. Those who have known bint
best will bear a willing testimony to tbe
statement that bo never told a falsehood, or
mad a voluntary misrepresentation of faot ;
and will believe u that it would be almost
a, impossible for him to do so as for tb
fisedle to forget its fidelity to the pole.

Mr. Wallaco, the Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, makes it
convenient to attend the conventions held
by that party in tbe different counties. Re
cently he addressed a convention of that
kind in Pottsville, where be addressed tbe
faithful in the following language:
I come on business, and if I can meet yon
ss I wish, it may be productive of good.
What business is more important than that
which tends to the preservation of tbe lives
and property of citizens I I ask the tamo
attention to this in the spirit which you
attend to your private busluess. The suc
cessful! merchant attends strictly to the de
tails of bis business ; likewise the mechanic
and the farmer. Politics is a business, and
must if we wish to be successful, be attended
to with care and fidelity. Organize from
the bottom tip, not from the tup doten. We
must pay close attention to the details.
What are those details ? Simply, to write
down all the names of all Democrats, of all
Republicans, and of all doubtful voters.
Hove an executive committee that shall at
tend to this. Subdivide your election dis
tricts, and bring all the weight of your in
fluence to bear on the doubtful "ones to
change them. Uo to work and don't Vow
atmitxt. Doit tiUvtly. Ihld your tongue
about what you do. There it ahrayi tome one
in a locality who it vcnU-nccd-. Go at him
earefully and fix him. I come here to urge
you to this work. Don't depend on shows,
procession nnd meetings. They don't
amount to anything. Go to your executive
committee and it will give you useful work
to do. If you fail to make converts, why
resolve to organize the Democracy and go
as a phalanx to the polls. Tttke warning
by tbe falling otl ot your vote in 1867, by
Democrats staying at home. Seo that every
man comes to the polls on tbe day of elec
tion. Bring them if necessary. This work
will tell in its influence in the coming elec
tion. Attend to the men ready to be natur
alized. The chairman of the State and
County Committees are powerless unless you
join with them and assist. . If this work
should be done victory will be won. I come
to ioipress upon you the necessity of organ
izing. The material for tbe work is in the
hands of the County Committee. Form
clubs, and remember tltat if we carry the Key

A man, traveling, entered a tavern, and
seeing no one present but the landlord and
a negro, seated himself and entered into a
conversation with the negro. Shortly ho
asked Sambo if he was dry. Sambo said
he wts. Stranger told him to go to tho
bar and take something at his expense.
Negro did so, aud shortly left. Landlord
says to the stranger :
"Are you acquainted with that nigger V
"No, never saw him before ; but why do

"I supposed so, from your conversing
with him and aiking him to drink.

Mr. Williamson, a prominent Democrat,
of Shreveport, La., made a brass-mounted
Seymour and Blair speech in New-Orleans
recently. He "arraigned the Radicals," and
this is one of the counts of his indictment :
"We arraign them in the name of our own
dearly beloved Confederate dead cheers
whose bodirs are strewn all over the North.
West ; I tiled in battle by the atroeiout cruelty
of th Radical Government." Cheers. Agsin,
says the orator : "Your geographical posl
tion gives ynu the best commercial oppor
tunities in the world, but unless you drive
nut theso negroes and scalawags, unless the
Anglo-Saxons rise against negro domination
in Louisiana, there Is no prospect for this
country. Great cheering. I believe we
will carry our candidates as firmly as there
is a throne of God. But even if defeat
should fall npnn us, do not be discouraged ;
the time will come when we shall redeem
the country let no man leave the State, let
vt lay our bona in LoitUana, and if these)

The JejTemon (Texas) Ku Klux (Seymour
and Blair) says : "We well know that if our
standard-bearers shall be made to trail our
proud banner in the dust, that then tbe
expiring shriek of a cherished freedom will
be beard, and a night of eternal gloom and
misrule will be our." .And further : "How
shall we obviate a war of races! Ther is
no way under the broad canopy of heaven,
without It is driving from our midst these
loir, mean white men. With them out of the
country, tbe negroes and white people could
get along peaceably and quietly ; but if thsy

Ladies who are inclined to magnify toe

warning from acs.ee that was tried recently
In Buffalo, New York. A husband rued for
a divorce because he found that his wife
was not all his fancy painted her, and those
who marry with paint on their faces, or
their natural fortm improved by fictitious
mcsns, may find themselves in tho predica
ment of this fair bride, and on waking up
in the morning discover that they have no
legal claim on a man who though he was
marrying a womau and not a bundle nf
paint and padding. A word to the wise I
