The two adversaries were put Into a coach and bound together so that only the right arm of each was left free, and in each right band was placed a long, ke n dagger. Then the doors of the coach were closed, and before being oprned again it was, according to the terms of the duel, driven deliberately three times around the Place Carrousel. The seconds sat on the box. In the coachman's place. When the doors were opened the young captain was found dead, pierced by many de p wounds. Colonel Dufal waa in little better plight, having received three terrible thrusts in the breast, and his whole left check having been torn off by the teeth of his adversary. Nevertheless, the tough old colonel got well, and. even before he was quite cure I, f ught two more duels, one with Colonel tie St Morya, and the other with Cloneral Montlegier, in each case gravely wounding his man and himself escaping iinharmed. r.Bfi lite itat 1 rap.

You may have, at somi time or other, met a man whom you wanted to kiek on sight. Just the min.-te you got sight of him you feit that you could never bo supremely happy again unless you could bump his anaiomy with your calf sk n. There was j'ist such a man with ua ot Chicago Junction, where live or six passengers had to wait for two hours for ti.e . rain on the B. aud O. road. It was a wretched r. oiu, cold weath er, and the lire in the stove wouldn't havo warmed the legs of A ilea. This man whom we nil wanted to kick on sight had a tomlnine voice. He was undersized, conceited in speech and looks, aud he played hog on the 6tovo. The iun who is impatiently waiting for a train at a jum-tion should never whi-tle. He whistled. A half-frozen a d thoroughly-disgusted mau should 1. ever sing, lie -ang. Tliercf re the rest of us began to hate him.

I was in Sliver Oulch, Colorado. A partner liametl Alf Simmons ami my.-elf occupied a cabin about half wa. up a long slope readied by a private trail. It ' had been snowing for ten days, and I guo--s there were ten feet of it on the slopo above us. If we had not kept clearing away around our cabin the building would have boon buried out of sight-" lie paused here, but no questions were asked, uitd lie ontiituod : Just about noon a year ago to-day, while wo were eating uinner. there came a trembling of tin; ground, an awful crash, and an uvalanehe ttir.ed at the top of the mountain ai.d came sweeping down upon us. Before you could count ten our cabin was struck, smashed to kindlings, and Alf and I were being carried along by tho resistless terror. When we nually stopped we were buried at the foot of a jode under snow twenty feet deep. Through some miraculous interj.ositiou of Providence 1 scaped all Injury, but poor Alf hail un arm hiokeiu " While our position was a bad one, we did not git e up all hope. I crowded the snow back until we had room to move, and then discovered it niight be ossible to scale the irregular cifls and make pjy way-out. In case I succeeded I was to return and rescue my partner. ' Well, after the most herculean efforts 1 pushed to the top of the drift, a'ld boforo night I reached Parsons City and -pread t lie story. 1 wanted a ixqio and three or four men, imd was very anxious to return at once, but the men "prevailed upon i.ift to wait until next day. "Then when we arrived at the spot, we saw that a sec .red nv lanche had oc curred, and that r Alf must be burial itnaer at least lilty feet of snow."

Tho big man ro--e up and removed hla overcoat, and there w.is an expression on his face which caused the little man to inquire : Suy, what are you going to do?" Avenge Alf!" Heavens ! but I didn't do anything to him !" ' Did you put up a gravestone?" "Why. no; but -" Didn't put up a gravestone for your dead parti r, eh? Come out hero!"' Say , it was a ma'!e-up s'ory !

The little man appealed to the crowd, but the big man took him by the collar, drew him out on the platform, and pavo him a lirt w hich landed him up to his neck in a drift. Then tho kicker resumed hla overcoat and said : Poor Alf ! But what la our lo68 Is doubtl'-ss his gain !" And for the next hour and a half tho little man was hidden away in a freight car on the side track, and the chatter of his teeth seemed to beat time to the hum of the telegraph wires. N. Y. Sun. Mountain Ham'i Dogs, An old trapper and hunter, known af Mountain Sam," Is doing a laud offlot business killing huge mountain 6heot for their heads and horns.

F or roanv years " Mountain Sam " ha: burled himself In the most remote re cesses of the Big Horn Mountains. Sam rounds up the wild sheep with dogs. Hla pack numbers twenty-five head, and they are a pure cross of the blood hound and bulldog. Mountain bora and bred, these noble animal.-, add to the strength, and sagacity of their blood straiua a marvellous enduranoo and ac tivity. No snow depth, no roughness of trail, no steepness of precipice, no lofti ness of peak, no remoteness of locality can stop the mountain dog when on the track of tho mountain sheep. Tho pack works in an organized way when the trail of a band of sheep is 6truck. The dogs break Into little bunches and wide and careful circuits are made. The closely pr ssad sheep are hurried toward a common ceutro, and they will soon be bunched with twenty-five Ftuneh dogs, crests erect and tails wagging, moving about them In an endless and eager circle. The pack has been known to bunch 250 head of sheep, and to hold their watch and guard for over six hours awaiting the coming of their master, who has been kept back by the difficul ties lying In hla path. It sometimes occurs that the dogs bring the game together on a spot that la utterly Inaccessible to human feet.

Dewitt Sterry in Judge. STORY OF A RECLUSE. In one of the mountainous coutttioj f Wales there lived for many years, a lermit of whom no one had any knovrl rdge. Hla abode was a cave. In a wild re- ion ; md he never appeared among hla feliow elngs except to obtain such necesaiies is his hermit life required. He would never, while living, reveal lis name, nor place of birth, nor iho sauso which had led him to s. elude h ho tel f from the world. One day a couple of travellers, pass ng through that region, vl-Mted the cave ind found the hermit not only dead, but , n a state of decomposition. The body, after an inquest, was bur led, and some garments, and a few tri.l. s a-hich belonged to the decease i, w- re deposited at the neajeet magistrate's fj";ee. with a full statement of me lacts. In a pocket of one of those garments was found a manuscript, supposed to save been written by the decease , and which, as it teila its own story we h -re ;ranscrib witiiout a w-. rd of comment : 1 was born in ayear I shali not record. In a place I snali not reveal, aud under a name I shall not di close. For many long years I have been dead to the worlJ, and my deslie now ia that tho waves of oblivion shall roll over mo ind leave me as if I had never been. And yet there are some fucts in my life which I wish to set forth. Why? Well, I doubt If I could tell any one why. I only know that the impu'se is on me to write them down, perhaps to destroy the record when done. My out'i pa.t-sud pieasantlv. 1 had kind, lnduig- nt and plom pa rent, who sought to make my life a happy one. I was sent to school at an early ago, and kept th- ro till I had acquired a good EnclSh ed-ie Von. Xi.e!!. itt m own request, I became an under- 1. rt in tlie Jar-e dry goods estab lishment of a prooj erous merchant. By strict mtegr ty and diligence I gradual!; rose to a tirst position. At ttt.i end twenty 1 had the confl-dc-ne- of my en.ployer, and was o.'ten lit v it. 1 lo i. is dwelling. At ilr.-t this made :ue very happy; and as I looked forward then the future Boemea very brignt. nut, alas, and alas ! this was tho beginning of a sorrow which will never end while I. remain on earth. My employer had a daughter a kind, pontic, lovely being who, to my enrap tured vision, seemed an angel just come down from Taradise. From the moment I first beheld her toy whole soul went out to her, and from that tine forth I could conceive of no enjoyment In which she had no part. As I am confessing this to myself, or to a wor d that will never know me, I will say that I loved hor to a degreee of worship which made her a something above and beyond my reach ; and though naturally easy and fluent In conversation, I could not speak to ber without chang ing color, and choking, and appear ing more like an Idiot than a mau of sense. This made mo avoid meeting her when alone, or pressing forward to take my chance with those who were seeking her at every opportunity, perhaps because, of a Ilk. ng for herself, perhap- because of a liking for the money she would In herit. I do not think she ever suspected me of having any regard for her beyond that of h-r being tho daughter of my employ er whom I was in duty bound to treat with respectful deference, and certain I an she had no conception of tho holy love and worship I secretly gave her. As I havo ssid. I avoided as much a3 possible coming in contact with her wo dd have gone a mile o-.it of my way rather thin speak to her, and yet her presence, in any company of which I forme 1 a part, w.-.s a glowing Joy. and her aiiscne - a depressing void. Among her numerous euitors was a fellow clerk, who held a position of con fidence under our employer similar to my own. end who, when we were alone together, was always praising hersweet ness and beauty, and proclaiming his own undying love. "Oh, fancy the golden moment when I shall be able to clasp her dear little hand in mine, and call ber by the -ndear-Ing name of nvifel" he would sometimes exclaim, or us words of similar Import ; and when I would as often turn aside, to conceal the feelings that would almost overpower mo. he woul 1 mistake the ac tion for a dislike of the subject. Ah," he one day said to me, " I per ceive my dai ling finds no favor in your sight; and she knows you do i:ot like ber; I. ut for my sake 1 trust that you will not let her 6ee that you absolutely bate the sight of her person, and the mention of her name." Thin to me, whose excess of love for the objt-ct In question was consuming me like an Inward fire. " Man !" cried I, turning upon him with the glaring fury of a biaet, "If you loved that being with one tenth of the passion that ia destroying mo. you would cut your wagging tongue from your g; p iBs" mouth ere yo i would permit so flippa: t a mention of so sacred a nam ." From that moment he ceased tospt- ik of her in my presence, and I. feeling tl tt 6he was lost to me forever, only secre iy worshipped her from afar. So matters drifted on for a time, ami I became miserable over my solitary brooding ; and while I wished myself far enough from the scene of a rival's tri umph. I shrank from the thought of going where I should never look upon my idol again. One night, having forgotten something at tne store, I procured the ke . from the porter and entered the building. To my surprise, I soon perceived the glimmer of alight in the count. ng room, and cn approacni-jg u cactiouslv, think ing thero might be a burglar at work, I waa still more surprised to 6eo tbo safe door open, and my rival seated oa tho floor, appirently counting a large roll of bank-notes. " Well, this looks like singular night work !" said I. With a startled cry. he fairly leaped to bis feet, letting the money fall around him, and turned towards me one of the most ghastly faces I ever beheld. AfUr looking straight in my face for a few moments, during which he sbook postage per year, in advance. NTJMBEK 23. and trembled, and hla very lips quivered, he stammered out : "Wh-wh-why. la It you? Wha-wba-what do you want?" "Sut pose in turn I ask you what you are doing with that open safe and money at this untimely Lour?" "Oh. that?" he answered, glancing down at the scattered bank-notes, and evidently recovering himself with an effort. "Ha. ha!" he tffectd to laugh. "Do you know, mf n. r feiljw, I mla to k you for a burglai !" Instead of youteelf, eh?" The fact la, you see, coy dear friond " i "S ipnoee you leavo the 'dear friend" I out.' 1 interrupted.

"Oho!" no exclaimed with a peculiar loo ; and leer. Awd 1 came in by the porter's key," I fibarply continued. " Aha ! yes, ye-. Justeo!" " And by what key did you come !n?" "I suppose yon are not, Jgno'arit of the fact hat there ia a private key," ho answered. " Wh eh belongs to the governor." "And which Lis daughter could get for me."
