We spout seven weells in the great

have stayed longer but for a circum
stance which mused us to proceed at
once for l'arh, and which, also, con
stitutes the hcgining of a chain of
circumstances which blasted the life
of a noble youth, and furnished the
, material for this story.
Our eveningswhile in London
were generally spent at the opera.

sit for hours like One enchanted while
listening to the master productions
of ikmizetti Rodsina, Mozart and

around hint save the sweet cadence
of music and song, until a young
'man approached, lamed over him
and whispered a• word In his ear
which brought him suddenly to ids
feet. They were friends, and had been
front early youth. Crawton had 'of
ten spoken of the young man, and
ulsoofanother,equal)y dear to him,
who hewas that night quickly in

Wound received in a duel. Dalton—
that was the name of the young in
truder upon our musical entertain
mentL,had hurried to London by re
qumt of the dying man to procure
important papers which required the
signature' f the unfortunate youth,
in order to place his widowed moth
er in possession of property without
which she would have been left des-
titute. By good fortune Dalton had
st:ipped at the same hotel where we
were staying and learned of Craw
ton's being in London; and that we
weld Ixo found at the open. I con
sented to leave the opera with them
Immediately.. Arriving at our hotel
it was at once decided that the trio
should start on the following morn
ing' fur .
.11efore entering the room in which
the wounded youth was lying, a sur

must proceed at mace to transact an v

Dear, dear Crawton," continued the
dying youth, "IfyoueVer fight a duel

The scene which followed was a
very, very awl one Indeed. - The

turn Maher than that ho had left
Paris the day following the duel.
The dtiel and Its tidal consequenciii
wrought a great change in ertiwton;
I lout learned to love him very dear•
ly, my affection amounted to a Muse
infatuation; my fortune WM then
and is now very large. My parents
mat only sister had passislerommrth
and left me, 11.4 far as relative were
concerned, alone in the world. Aside
from Henry Clay and young Craw
ton, I had no love for any mortal:
limpeet mid friendship I of course hail
for many acquaintances or both sexes.
Large as my fotune was I felt that
I could part with It all for Crawton's
own sake.
Crawtun's situation; in some re
am:hi, was like my own, he had no
family kin livhig except very distant
relatives with whom he wasentirely
unacquainted.. lie was not rich, but
pomeuted means sufficient. to insure.
him a competence through life. The
deep feelings 1 entertained for him
were Sincerely returned. 1 possessed"
the nffections.of his noble heart, and'
that knowledge afforded me, as much
satisfaction and happiness us any`
Istettelor has a right to expect on
earth. ' • I
' Crawton accepted of my proposi
tion for him to accompany me hi my
tnivels—in fact, we offered to mingle
our fortune% and remain together
until separated bye deem) of death.
C'rawton had accompl:shed a grad
deal in his chosen profession. He
certainly post:waled great talent and
skill, and genius and originality of
meniean order, but the death of his
friend stowed to have blasted hisant-
Litton for fame. The only picture
he painted after the fitted duel was a
ropy of n portrait of Mons. De /That ,
turn ; anti his fraquent study of that
pletule, toiNther with the fatal sus
yens n of work, caused Inc .about
the o, ly concern and unhappiness 1
eldtrjelxperienced in hiseowpany.
- Crliwton had the body of his friend
mb alined and sent .to Almeria' for
burial, after which we quitted Paris
lard pUrsued our travels.
Fee two years we kept constantly
on the move, visiting all the noted
places of the Old World, and pertain
no two travellers ever accomplished
as much in the way of t2ght seeing In
the same length of time.
At' last' we returned' to Paris.
Mon. de Shutturn had proceeded us
at many of the places visited by , us.
We were "on his heels" at Rome;
we he ud of him at Milan, at Padua,
and at Venice; and Wan in the Dist,
both nt Jerusalem and Damascus,
and other places. I made no ingntr
ry the man; with me the
duel was a matter, as much to be for
gotten wilts result Was to he deplor
ed. It has always beep a part of
my philosophy to banish from my
mind the receollections or misfor
tunes for which there existed no
remedy. It did not occur to my
mind that Crawton was engaged in a
tbitermined and untiring search for
Mons. Do Shattum until after Our re
turn to Paris. Ho had studiously
avoided all reference to the duel, and
'only mentioned the name of Mons.
De Shattum to say that "he has . been
here," in places tho duelist had vis
ited previous to our arrival.
On the evening of,the tenth day af
ter our arrittil at Paris we attended
the opera. I had gone there much
against my desire; as the "Holleman
Girl I" suggested rather unpleasant
recollections: . Two years before we
were listening to that opera in Lon
don, when wo were interrupted by
Dalton and apprised of the duel which
had taken place at Paris.' I felt a
strange apprehension that something
deplorable was goine to happen. I
am not stall incliner to superstition,
and have no recollection of having
had such feelings before in my life.
I naturely paid more . attention to
Cmwton than to the music of the
opera; in . fact I was in 'no frame of
mind to enjoy the best of music.—
With theexception of an almost. lin
perceptible paler, the countenance of
enswton wore its usual calm, beauti
impressive expression, until
.1)' Arlina ranunantall was being
snug, when I perceived big tears
dropping from his eyes and trickling
down his cheeks, which he made no
0%0 to conceal or to brush away.
He seemed to be unconscious that his
eyes were exposing the fullness of his
heart. Before the song was ended, a
slight commotion in one of the pri
vate boxes attracted our atttention ;
Craw ton seemed to be suddenly start
led ; and grasping his opera glass ho
leveled it upon the group.in the pri
vate box and gazed steadily at the In
dies andlenileman seated therein.
Then, handing me his gloss, he re
marked :
"There is Mans.DeSliatturn; watch
him for a moment; I will soon return
to you."
So, saying, ho prose and left the
theatre, I began to suspect that
Crawtou ment mischief, and regret
ed I had allowed him to depart. I
lastame very uneasy; still I kept my
glass Masi upon Mops. I) Sliatturn.
There could be no mistake. Just as
1 was wandering how it could be
passible for Crawton to paint so per
fect a likeness of the man, he appear
ed in the box, and by the side of
Mons. Do Shatturn. 1 saw him ad
dross -uie Frenchman. The ladles
stared at him a. 9 an intruder.
After the two men had exchanged
a few wonls I saw Crawton slap
Mons. Dc Shatturn In In tie face.
hand him his card, bow to the ladies
and leave the box.
He noon returned to his, seat, and
sat calmly and patiently to the end
of the opera.
1 never before experienced such
deep feelings of concern and regret.
We proceeded in silence to our hotel
—both of us seeming to understand
etch other's feelings. Words in such
a crisis were useless. The honor Of
my friend would not permit any of
fort to avert a collision between him
and the sorely offended DeShatturn;
And my deep affection prevented any
desire, Inclination, or Power on my
part to aid and abet in the matter.
I knelt that night and prayed that
the threatening calamity might pass
away. An upped to heaven seemed
tome to be the only one I could
make.. l The morning thine bringing
withlt a tierce challenge from Mons.
Shatturn , which Crawton imme
diately accepted. Being the chal
lenged party, Crawton wrote out the
manner, time, and place of the en
counter, which was, in substance 'lO
o'cick p. ru., in the old Mord Hall
on the Rue de Itivoli ; naked, in the
dark, and armed with the American
bowie-knife. They were to meet
and fight until one or both were kill
ed.
Mons. De Shatturn was surprised
at the terms of the duel, and consid
(Teti that the conditions proposed by
Crawton valid only emanate from an
insane mind. He at once sent a
friend—an .eminent French physi
cian. familiar with the excentrieities
of madmen—to confer with Cmwton
and report upon his sanity.
Mods. De Shatturn was again as
tonished on being informed that
Crawton was not only perfectly sane,
but that he was lx,-sides a relined and
accomplished gent leman,withal most
serious and determined as -to the
terms he had decided upon. .
The physician informed Mons. De
Shatturn that Crawton was thorough
conversant wi th 164 career ; that he
knew him to ben cruel and Unreeling
duelist and murderer, who .had per
force of superior skill slain eleven
young men, and severely wounded as
many more; that he was familiar
with the particulars of every duel
fought by Do Shatturn, both as to
cause and result; In every Instance
De Shatturn had either wantonly of
fended, or t presumed. offence when
none was realty intended or given,•
he had on every ocetedon magnified
and pressed matters to desperate re
sults for no other' apparent reason
than to satiate a brutal mania for
blood and murder.
Being the best shot and the most
skillful swordsman in France, and
fortified with that confident* and as
surance which makes the coward
carellyelespenete, he had always met
librantagenist with all the advantage
ill his own favor. Cruwton thirsted
tier the heart's blood of 'Mons.
hhutturu, and determined to brand
the celebrates! duelist throughout
France as a coward should lie refuse
to light him In the manner stated.
Mons. De Shatturn had so often
been successful, lie considered that
chance and good fortune would not
forsake him in an encounter where
in his skill.would avail him little or
nothing; therefore the propthled
terms were accepted with one excep
tio,n the time. Shatturn requested
to be allowed to make proper busi
ness arrangements in awe the fates
should go against him.
I entered the room in which the
duel was to be fought; it was . eigh
teen by twenty-four feet In sire
with high ceiling and polished floor.
The walls were hard anti sombre-col
on:el; there were no windows. The
dour we entered was the wily ingress

the darkness became so Intense that
it could almost be felt.

Cmwton, bade him good bye, closed
the door, and left his shut upin that

sound at which to strike, the very
breath escaping from their set teeth
and comprett lips might bring the
swift stroke of death to one of the
antagonists. '
Outside the door leaning against
the door, the friend of Mans. D
Shatturn and myself were equally si
lent. fkold chills ran through my
body, and started cold dropsofsweat
from my brow. •
I could almos p o ur in ge gloom Of

Suspense the most acute af fl icted us
both.
We s moked at each other occasion
ally, though our eyes were expres

the time; the sense of hearing was the
only amity remaining alive. Our
hearts seemed to stand still atime,
and then to beat painfully. Four
hours were thus passed,when we were
satisfied a thud or dull sound and jar
'ring oPthe floor, Which brought us to
our senses. •
The dull sound was—to tis—a sig
nal to enter. Our lanterns were Hgh
ted with nervous hands; the huge
bolt was drawn,the door thrown open
and we rushed Into the room to be
hold a sight which neither of us Will
ever forget. Mons. De Shatturn lay
dead' upon the Bair. Crawton stood
over him with' his foot upon his
breast, and ,pressing thereon. while
a stream of blood poured from agreat
wound which had split the French
man's heart almost in twain.
Crowfoots eyes fairly stuck but
from their sockets.
The huge knife, dripping with
blood, he still 'held in his upraised
hand • his face was as white as death;
and his hair, which a few hours before
was so black and beautiftd, was as
white as winter. His lips were ns
firmly set as chiseled marble. He
stood thus for a few moments star

neath his feet, then dropping, : the
huge knife he fell prostrate upon the
body of his dead foe. We Instantly
reified him up, gave him restortives,
dressed him; and hurried him to his
hotel.
The hearse, followed by a few men,
Which turned into Greenwood Come
tery a few Sabbaths ego, bore the
body of Crawton to its last resting
place.
Ho died in a private mad house in
New York twenty-live years alter,
the terrible °Mud of that terrible
duel, and, strange as it may seem,
during that, long period of time—a
quarter of a century—he was not
known to utter a word.
ONLY A FARnEWN WIFE:
Two women sat together at sunset,
in the porch door of a white cottage
that stood under the "old ancestral
trees," and "among its fields of wheat
and corn," like a poet's vision of , a
quiet resting place for some weary,
suffering human soul.
And one of these two women had
eyes to see, ears to hear. and'a heart
to feel and appreciate it all. She was
a tail, stately lady, apparently some
thirty years of age—not exactly hand
some, but with a grace of air and
manner peculiarly her own. The
careful toilet, the nameless air of ele
gancy, and luxury, the pule cheek
and soh white hands, betrayed the
city dame. While the weary glance
in the large, dark eyes, which even
the pleasant quik of the sunset hour
could not quite drive away, showed
that Tinie had pot dealt gently with
her and her heart's Idols, but had
thrown them, shattered and ruined,
at her feet.
}Ter companion was some five years
her junior, and many time; prettier—
a little round faced apple checked
woman, with dark blue eyes and dark
brown hair, anda rounded figure that
was set off to tile' best advantage by
the afternoon dress of tinted muslin
that she wore.
At present the pretty face was al
most spoiling by a querulous, discon
tented expression. .She was contrast
ing her own hand, plump and small,
but certainly rathee brown, with time
slender, white flingers of her city
friend, alt glittering with jewels.
"Just lookat the two," she exclaim
ed. "That comem of making butter
and cheese, and sweeping and dusting
and washing dishei, and making beds.

who said that a. woman's work is

. Margaret Van liowth looked down
at her grumbling little friend with a
sad smile.
"Jenny, it seems to me, as weslt
here in this quiet place, and look out
over nil these pleasant fields that are
your own—it scents to me that you
are almost wicked to talk so."
"I dare say," replied Mrs. Jenny ;
"but you would not like it, Margaret.
You would never wish to change
Tholes with me.',
"Perhaps not. 'Would you like to
change with me?"

"Aud b 6 Mrs. Van Howth, instead
of Mrs. Hiram Parke?."
'jenny hesitater!. She dearly loved
her handsome husband. •
"Well, I don't mean that I want
to give up Hiram," she said at last.
"1 only main that I wish he was a
city merchant, Instead of a farmer,
and as rich 1114 your hustrand is, that
is all."
• "And that is a great deal," said
Mrs. Van Howth coldly. Jenny, if
yourmish could be granted, do , you
know what your life would be?'
"What yours Is, I suppose. What
any lady's is in your position."
"Exactly. But what is that life?
Doyou know?"
"How should I?"
"It is a watry one, Jenny with
more genuine work in It than nil your
making butter and ehet*Lt cam bring."
"Oh, :Margaret!"
"And oh, Jenny! Believe Me,
my dear, there are no people on
earth, who work harder than the rash-
ionables who only have their own
amusements to provide for. A life
of mere amusement is a dog's life,
Jenny, at best."
"I should like to be convinced of it
by actual experience," said Jenny,
doubtingly.
- "So 1 said and thought once. I
have been so convince& And -it is
all vanity and vexation of spirit." •
"But how?" persisted Jenny.
"How? In ten- thouuind ways.
If you live In the fashionable world,
you must do as the fashionable world
dam You must rise and dress, shop
and lunch, and dries again, and drive
and dress - again and appear areertain
Jails, parties or concerts exactly as
your friends do, or be-voted a bizarre,

fond of dress; what would you do at
a fashionable watering place in the
hottest days of August, with five
changes of toilet between morning
and night :rod a French lady's maid
to tyrannize over you all the time,
into the;bargainn."
"Horrors!" ejaculated Jennie.
"Balls that you must go to in spite
of fatigue. turtles that you mustgrace
in spite of heat, udis that you must
make on people whom you digest!
Oh, Jenny I should far rather be id
home, with the butter and cheese, if
I were you !" '
Jenny was silent. Here was a side
rot the bright picture which she had
!never seen or dreamed of before.
"You love your husband, Jenny?"
said her friend a ft er a time.
Jenny opened her eyes widely.
"Love him! Why, isn't he my
husband?" was her 'wire reply.
Airs. Van Howth laughed.
"some women 'ln society' might
think that a mason why you should
not love him !" she said drily. "And
he loves you also?"
"I should die to-morrow, if I
thought lie did not!"
'•'T'utchildl People leave this world

SOLAR PHENOMENA.
Not long since, 4 a pargraph went
the rounds of the papers, which an
nounced the fact that a column of
fire had shut froth the sun toward
the earth,and that; glowing with such
heat as to break the glasses of the tel
eseupes astronomers directed to it, it
was steadily advancing to the neigh
borhood of one - unlucky planet. .
The article in question, is only
worth notice as ti measure of the
general knowledge on such subjects,
for It excited more than a little ap
prehension in a s good many and it
has been thought! worth while, by
several English and Eastern papers,
to publish articles expesing its absur
dity.
It does not appmr to have been no
ticed, however, that the article was
based in part, on' facts which were
distorted, and brought into apparent
connection by the, writer, who was
not at the trouble of inventing his
story, and may pgssibly lave - ment
to produce a' sensation, with some
apparent basis of fruit'. •
The disconnected facts appear to be
these, which are in'themsefves
ble: Some years since two English
obeerveis independently saw a _sud
den flash of light on the Sun's surface
intense enough to, give one of them
the • ldea that the darkening glass
which protected This eye had been
broken. and dazzled him with the
unshielded light. i No such accident
had occurred, but; the hour being no
ted it was found that simulhuieously
with the extraordinary outburst of
light, all the magnetic needles. node
ed had vibrated at the same time all
the world over.

to go beyond what has been observ

Judge whether the/ace does not wur

AAronoineirs have very recently
been able to obtain evident* of the
existela of flames tin the sun's sur
filo quite other than either of those
described. TM* flames reveal evi
dence of their presents in the sperm
trascope, by brilliant- lino; Whose
position shows tlatt they are due to
hydrogen. MAI this, though a L1:1111•
pared vely recent and most interesting
discovery, is surpassed inAnterest to
the profissional observer 'by that of
a method by which the flames them-
selves bovine visible. . .

In quo' of thek drawings, Made to
scale, lind of whose reliability there
need . be no doubt, we see a column of
flame projected I from the sun's sur
face to the height of over three thous
and miles, which, in a second draw
ing, taken teal minutes ,later, has
, grown into a fiery cloud, hanging
I high above the !surface and united to
it by a pillar ofl flame, which In five
minutes more, has disappearodileav

containing millions of cubic miles Of
matter,) suspended above 'the source
whence it was protected a quarter of

exhibit masses, of burning gas, re

live and six thousand miles in height,
rolling in lurid wavesbefore the be

roll, like a tire fanned by some

and these changes are repeated in
Interminable variety. The knowl

they roll in unceasing fluctuation,

thaV i ebeeld that WI, the present
'philter pumping' can be extended to
meet the wants Of any canal that may

the State; as folltrws;
'ln•estimatingthe amount of water
th4Will be requirrequired for an enlarged
canal, .1-441 all formulas that
are felled on foir estimating the amt . .
of water required for a canal, and ap
ply to the• solution of the question
thafacts obtained by four years' ex
p_erienee in pumping the supply for
the canal during dry weather, when
most water is needed. We have in
no month in the last four years in
which we have had unusually dry
weather, averaged over six millions
cable feet of. water for the lockage,
leakage and evaporation of the pres
ent canal, of which there was used,
for lockage about six hundred thous
and cubic feet, leaving for the leak
age T h evapoti 5,400,000 cubic
'feet. present amal is about fifty
feet at the water line, which it is pro
posed to increase to seventy-feet, ad
ding four-tenths to the width; but
thirty-three miles are slack Water that
do not require widening, and as the
canal Is built onlloping ground and
without berme banks, the water sets
back 111 pools and wide waters, ex
eeptin through cuts, and nearly one
half of the cannibal; a water surface
°foyer seventy feet. This will reduce
the average increase in width of wa
ter line to two-tenths, and iucrease
the evaporation to that extent.
The leakage of locks is in propor
tion to the lift, and, as it Is not pro
posed to change the lifts of the locks,
there will be no Increase of leakage
from that source. The only other in
crease would be in soakage, which
will be small and more than ammen
sated for in the Increased tightness of
new locks, dams, etc.
The present locks are ninety feet
between gates by fifteen feet wide,
and ')a)quire 9,450 cubic feet of water
to lock. sixty-five tons. It is now
proposed to make them 130 feet be
tween gates mid twenty feet wide,
which:will use 18,210 - cubic feet to
lock 825 to I,le, present leeks 145
cubieket •to lock one ton,
while in the larger locks it will only
require 56 cubic feet, over two and a
haft times as much freight being lock
el with the same amount of water
in the large lecke as um be dune in
the small locks.
We can lock a boat every tea min.
utes, or one hundred and four boats
In tiVenty-four hours; but if this
amount of boats was passing on the
canal, one would be locking up as
another went down, and one lock
full of water would pass two boats,
taking seventy-two locks of wider !
18,200 cubic feet each per day.
1 have shown that the evaporation
and leakage of the enlarged tonal
will not exceed 6,480,0011 cubic feet in
twenty-four hours; add to this the
estimated lockage for dietiest' million
tuns of freight and we have a total of
11,722,600 cubic react, mil it in round
numbers-1.1,000,000 cubic feet. Anti
the next question is, will French
Creek supply that amount? In re..l
ply to that kwill say to my. certain
knowledge there has been no day in
the ketele,ven years, that the How of
French Creek at the Feeder Dam,
has not been more titan that amount
The flow was repeatedly measured
during the ilryest part of the dry
season during that period and the
smallest How found was over 15,000,-
000, and the mean flow over 17,000,
000 cubic feet, making a !surplus on
the lowest eleasurement of 3,000,000
cubic feet over what is required for
an enlarged canal by the liberahmti
mate given above-
In closing this portion of the sub
ject, I will only acid that I hope that
shall succeed in convincing =par
tial raiders of what I' tun so thor
oughly convinced in my own. mind
—that. thereds no sharimv. of doubt
about obtaining an abundant supply
of water for ati enlarged weal.
I had proposed to discuss the ques
tion of the productiveness of this ca
nal when enlarged, but this' article
Is already too long for anything
more than aping reference. I have
no doubt of Its paying the interest on
its coat, and those who !doubt it pay
little heed td the rapid growth ofthe
coal andiron ore trade, • and to the
fact that an improvement like this,
which will reduce the cost of trans
portation lantymn Pittsburgh, and
.the Ohio river, the Shenango Valley
and the lake, from fifty to seventy
flve cents per ton; will draw to it
most of the,prmitit trade and create
an Immense trade not now in exist-
Mice.
The proposal to get State aid to
effect the eplargement of this canal
has been denounced us an attempt
to plunder the State treasury. It is
nothing of the kind. I propose to
sitnuly ask the Legislature to do for
the benefit of Wmtern Pennsylvania
what has bees done for other inprove
ments, and if the bonds now held by
the State am exchanged for the bonds
of the canal 'they will' be placed in
the hands o Ftrustees in whose hon
esty and integrity the:public will have
confidence, .and who will see that
they am properly applied.
