Dir. n a Kik'oii in GL'iiiiiiny, the king of Prussia, exhausted by his nstonisliini; elforts to iiiiiintaiii tho war against France, ie- liieel his army to the ieace estahlish- nient. (Joiise(iiently many olhcers who were stationed at Hamburg received furlough, or were dismissed from tho service for n short time, and a life of military danger and activity gave iilaeu to habits of idleness and dissipation. In the early liartot tliusuminer,several of tliesoollieerHjhavitigdined togetheraud saeriliced rather freely at the shrino of the jolly god, adjourned towards evening to the Jixchango Uoltco House, the most noted hotel in the city. They entered singing and shouting iu a most tumul tuous manner, setting at defiance the rules of propriety and decorum. Tho youngest oi the joyous band, the Jsarou do V , who boro the commission of a lieutenant in tho army, was about twenty- live years ot age, wealthy, handsomu ami elegantly foimed. 5ut his mind did not correspond with his person ; ho was vain, insolent, self-conceited and presum ing. When they entered tho public rooiiLthey observed an individual ot small stature, in a l:n k suit, seated alone at a table, lie held iu his left hand the lour nal ot the day, whilo his right hand sur i ported a pipe, no paid nut little, atten-, tion to the entrance of this formidable host of blackguards,scarcely deigning to raisu his eyes trom the paper tin was perusing. Tho young Ilaron, doubtless offended at an appearance of indifference, which ho thought bordered on contempt, approached the man iu black, and said, with asmilo of bitter irony: "Ah, my friend, good evening. From your appearance,! should tako you to be a schoolmaster, or perhaps a tailor. Am I right 1 Where is your goose f Tho citizen raised his eyes and fixed them for a moment ou the countenance of his interrogator, and then resumed tho perusal of tho journal. "God forgive mo my sins," continued tho Huron, "ho will not answer me. Come, my little fellow, wo must bo more sociable. Ah, I perceive tho reason of your silenco ; that pipe incommodes you. As I must hear tho sound of your voice, allow mo to reliuvo you," So saying, he (matched tho pipo from tho hands of the stranger, and dashed it to pieces on tho floor, n picco of wit which his companions applauded with shouts of laughter. Without laying linvn tho journal, tho insulted individual tinned towards tho eiiii-jncc of tl.o inner room, and coolly said : "Waiter, another pipe." 'Well done," resinned the young im pertinent, "I hnvo gained something, however; I mado him open his mouth." Tho pipo was brought, filled nnd lighted, and thu citizen continued to po nisii the journal as if nothing had hap jiencd. lMy little man," Baid the Huron, 'where do you belong? Iu what village do you exercise your talents) What, no answer) Havo yiui resolved not to en ter into convocation with mo)" Here the insulted person again raised his head and looked tho young oflicer in tho face, at the same time pulling out an immense volume of smoke; hu then de liberately resumed his former occupa tion. 'l'erhaps I was mistaken in your char acter," intinupted tho Haion; "you may be the ijuid nxnw of a village, and per haps endeavoiiiig to commit to memory thencus which that paper eriitains, to impart iteornttly to your friends and mighbnis. Hut j out-moko like a Swiss. Hint pipe causes j ou much inconven ience." It was a second timu broken. AVithout oviiicinf by n gcsturo.or nny visiblo Hign of couuteuaneo.tho least up pearnuco of anger, the man in blaok ooolly repeated the first demand ; "Waiter, another pipe." "What a melodious voice I" resumed thu Huron. "Such pnlieneo must bo tho Attribute- of an angel or a devil. I would give a thousand tloiins (o m-o you in a passion ; it would lie (Iclicioiis sport. An old major, whoso embroidered coat was dctoiutcd with military ordern, tuid on whose German physiognomy was lenieteil frankness, true courage mid loval'y, who entered the Coffee IIou-vi Willi those hair bnuiii'd youths, now ad (lresed the lhiron in a low voice, but which, notwithstanding, could be heard in all nails of ihe room : ".My young friend, von are insulting a "tiiiuger without provocation ; you are foolishly guilty of a great impertinence, and vour conduct with that of vour up plaiidiug comrades, begins to disgust mo. I beg you will pursue this foolish joke no further." 1 ho Karon, Willi his companions, ac cordingly adjourned to a neighboring room, and commenced playing cards. 1 o judge from their numerous jokes, fol lowed by loud peals of laughter, it would seem that the young ollicer's folly and linprudenco were already lorgotten. An hour passed away, all was ninth and jollity, tho Ilaron had gained a consid erable Sinn, and his spirits wero propor tionately buoyant, when the little man in black entered tho room, and slowly approaching his chair, tapped him gen tly on his shoulder, and reipiested to speak with him iu another apartment. The Huron regarded him with a look of disdain over his shoulder, ill lured an ill timed jest, and laughed iu his face. 'Sir." said the man in black in a deci ded and manly tone, "you labor under a tritling mistake, which I must take the liberty to correct. I -I'm neither a tailor nor a schoolmaster. I have the honor to be a post-captain in the Unglish navy, very much "at your service. You have insulted me, and I demand satis faction. To-morrow morning, at seven o'clock, I shall await you here. IJring pistols with you. The astonished Ilaron, who during this address had risen from hiseh:iir,ehanged countenance moto than once, and then answered only by a low bow oi acdiu- cscenco ; lie dared not trust, nini'-eii to speak, lest his tongue should betray his terror, i he captain politely sainted int rest, of tho company, and left the houe. With him departed all the gayety of the lieutenant, lie became tnoiiglittul and taciturn : his mind wandered from the tramc, and he soon lost more than lit had gained. Ho was unnerved with tenor, while reilectmg on the conse- (luenees of his folly. What an ailvan (aire must an adversary possess over him who could bear with so much calmness 1. .... . a series ol deiiiadini' lnsuiis, nun wnn could propose a duel with such impel tur bable smuj frotd! Such an antagonist must be sincularlv endowed with cour aire and skill. Such wero the ideas that continually passed through his mind. When tliu company separated, thrv all agreed to meet at tho samo place at the appointed hour, liut it is not sup posed that all slept equally well during the night. When thov assembled next morning at the Coffee House, they found Ihe Englishman before them at tho ren dezvous : but ho was now dressed in a splendid suit of tlio naval uniform of his nation. Ho was attended by a valet, who carried a ease under his arm. lie requested the ollieers to accept of some refreshments ; and they entered into conversation, when the KnglNhman gave indications of possessing a cultiva ted mind and good breeding. About eight o'clock he rose from his chair, and begged the Prussian otlieer to select the spot where their quarrel must be decided, adding that ho was a stran ger in the city, and that all places were aliko to him. Tho Ilaron named tho ojien pastures lying between Hamburg and Altoona. Whenthey arrived on tho ground, tho hnghshnian linked (he I inssian what distance ho would prefer. lie answered : "Fifteen paces." "The distaneo is too great," resumed the Knglisliman ; "you will miss me. Call it ten, if you jilense." And this proposition was accepted.

When tho ground was marked out, and each of the tirincipals had taken his station, tho captain asked his antagonist significantly if he had good pistols ; 'for,' said he, "I havo a pair which I often use, :md which never miss their man.

"Tins is too largo, said uio captain; "find something elso," Ho took from his pocket a dried prune. "That will do, exclaimed his master. Tho fruit was thrown in tho air, tho pistol was fired, and tho pruiio was shat tered into picoes. At this extraordinary proot ot address, tho spectators wero struck with astonishment. As to tho poor lieiitiinaut, ho was more dead than alivo. Tho captain than resumed his station, and requested his antagonist to lire ; but tho major interposed, hinting that it was contrary to ino custom oi ineir country ; that the offended paity had an undoubted right to make tho first essay; and after his firo was returned, trfo rest should be decided by chance. "My friend," replied tho captain, "if I should suffer myself to bo influenced bv vour opinion, this vouiiLr ifentleman would never havo an opportunity to test the quality ol his pistols.

Then, taking off his hat, ho looked round upon the mute, terrilied spectators of this closing scene, who, by a spon taneous impulse, uncovered themselves in like manner. For a moment or two there reigned among the group a religious and solemn silence, which was only inter rupted by the hard breathing of the suf fering lieutenant. At length, seizing the pistol and point ing it towards the lieutenant, ho kept him for a minuto in a slate of the most horrible suspense; then suddenly raising the weapon, he turned towards the valet, who stood near him, and handed him the pistol.

Chief Justice l'yne, appointed in 1 09 1 to tho lviiigsJencli in Ireland, was a notorious bribe-taker. His decisions were always fair for the most liberal side. He had a property on tho lllack water, in Minister, famous as Water- park, and a passion for good breeds of cattle, with which tho place was well stocked. At tho Uork Asii.es ho v.-as to sit on a case in which the claims of a Mr. Weller wero opposed to those of a Jlr. Wangle, and on tho day lietoro he left, Watcipark to hold Com t, Mr. Wel ler sent him twenty-live splendid heifers and received a very gracious and reus spring message in return. J he Judge set forth next day for Cork. When dri viug along in his eoach-and si.Y, passing the budgo at. the Jinde liver, the road was blocked up by a drove of cattle, a piimo herd ol most valuable short horns. The Chief Justice asked the man uho was driving the cattle: "Whoso beasts are these, my man? "Thov belong, please your Honor, to a great gentleman of these parts, Judge ryne, i our Honor, replied tho coun tryman. "Indeed! cried tho Cliiet Justice, in in much Mirpri.sc, "and where aro you taking tlieni nowf" "l hey were grazing in my masters Mr. Xangle's faun, Your Honor, and as the assizes aro coining ou at Cork, my master thought the Judge might like to see that ho took good care ot them, so I'm taking them to Watci park to show them to the Judge." The Judge felt the delicacy of Mr. Xangle's mode ot giving his present Putting his hand in his pocket ho pre sented the herdsman with a guinea, said ho was Judge l'yne, and "that as his master, Mr. Mangle, had taken such good care of his cattle ho (the Judge) would tako good euro ot him," and or deicd the herdnian tojdrivo the animals to Waterpaik. During the hearing of tho action of Nunglo vs. Weller, the bearing of tho Chief Justice seemed at first quite in fa vor of thu defendant, and that gentle man nodded often to his attorney, as much as to say: "It is all right; I have secured tho Judge." Hut as thu caso went ou and it was tho province of tlio i r t,, ,n ,.i, .,,.., ii... i... ,,., I tho case so strongly lor the plaintiff that, to the dismay ot Mr. Weller, the jury j brought iu a verdict for Mr. oS'anglo ' without leaving tho box, and tho Judgu certified foriinniediato execution. When, on his return fioin Minister Circuit, tho learned Judge arrived at Watorpark, his first question was: "Aro tho cattle all satu) "Perfectly, my lord,"rdplicd tho stew ard. "Con," said Sir Iiichard Pyne,puUing ou bis hat, "ill havo to look at them nyself." Tho steward led the way across tho lawn to a glassy paddock, and there wero touiid within UU'nly-live lino lienors cropping thu grass as liuppv as if their lato master retained his property.

And so it was; ihe sagacious Mr. Nnu g'o had so tiini d the departure of his oaltlo as to meet tho Chief Justice on the road. Hu had properly drilled his herds man, who, with tho tact of his country, lolished the plot of "doing" tho Judge, for Mr. Nanglu had no great faith in tho integrity of that functionary.

The pretentious structure nt Washing ton whose whiteness has lor nearly a eiiturv riven loit thennineof tho Into House, bv which it is known throughout! the civilized world, is eiiconipasel with out by malarial breezes from the Potomao Hats and poisoned witlnii by venomous gases trom iinpericcuy trapped sower connections. To put a family to livo in such a placuis almost as bad as what was brought to light a few days ago in tho lower partof Walnut street, where sever- il children had tiled in oho unpleasant dwelling owing to tho noxious vapors thoy wero compelled to inhale. There is more style about tho White House than iu the cheap and gloomy tenement, but foul air, which is no respecter ot persons, is much the samo iu one as in the other. When tho White House was built it was a gorgeous structure for its day. Its original cost was over a quaitur of a million dollars. Improvements and addi tions have since brought its cost, with that of the grounds around it, to six or seven tinicsthatsnm. The house lias been repaired and tinkered and patched and mended until it is now something like an old pair of boots which havo been half soled, heeled and footed a dozen times and badly need now tops. All that it con tains m the linoot modern improvements has been added iu such a fragmentary way that it is like patches of new cloth on an old garment. When it was built modern idonsof heat and ventilation and water works weio not known. The Po tomac Flats wero not what thoy aro now. They havo increased in size, in llatuess and in malarious potency. To stay in the White House at night is to risk an attack of illness. As a residence it is no longer useful. To expect tho Chief Magistrate of tho nation to live there is absurd and unreasonable. It has long been known that the place is not desirable to stay in, especially in the glimmer. For years its occupants havo tound satety andcomlorl. by going just, outside tho city to tho Sol- diets Home. lucent investigations into tho plumbing work of the A bite House have shown that there are somo object ionable features which would not bo al lowed to exist iu a third olas-i inn. Nor is there any site on tlio whole twenty-five-acres of ground in the White House enclosure on winch a residence tor the President and his family could wisely lie erected. Jlalana trom those pestifer ous flats poisons tho wholo territory, i ho llats are growing worse and worse every vour. It is suggested that thev be drained. The suggestion is as sound as it is venerable. It was made long, lo'ng ago. To drain tho llats decently can be done only by filling them up. It would tako a dozen years and cost a million a year. Somo of llieso days-it will havo to be done. Meantime a new Kxeoittivo res idence is needed. Thero aro plenty of places in Washington for it. where the ground is higher and the air purer. We do not need such a costly building as kings and emperors are proud to dwell in. Half a million would pay fnronequite good enough. The Chief Magistrate of this country has a right to a home. Now he has no houe of his own to live in, but only some rooms in an awkward barn of a public buihling,thi) rest of which is mado up of offices and is a tumping ground for the people of America and all the rest of ci cation who choose to go there. Tho President and his family should have a house iu which ho and the may bo as private as the humblest citizen in his own threo-story brick. It is an evidence of the phenomenal strength of Mr. Garfield's constitution that ho has lived for weeks as ho has in that old house, breathing tho mephitio air waited into his bed-chamber from thoso villainous flats, No wonder ho wants to bo out. Let us hope ho will soon bo able to go whore ho can breathe almost any other atmosphere. One of the first things Congress should do when it next assembles is to decree the erection of a new and decent "While House."
