Itevenire f.r limine l.litUlt.t. A most vindictive duel was fouffht during the rei(fi of Iouis XVI. by a colonel of the French tfuartls, says the Yankee lllatle. This c-eiitlciuau was ImmwU.it t.f the p-ooil fortune of never havintf iK-en obliged to li'ht a duel. Another t.lltcer expressetl his suriirise. with some indirect allusions to the colonel's lack of conrapv, ol-servin-r: "How tlo j-011 avoid fijrhtin" when in sulted?" The etilonel answerttl that he had never jrivcti olTeiise ami not.ne had ever presiimt tl to insult him. Moreover that on such an occasion he would con sider the character of the person who had wantonly insulted him ere he de manded satisfaction. I'pon this state ment his iiiterl.H-utor, in the most, in su Kins' maimer, struck him in the face with his e;l,ive. sayinj;: "Pcrhais. sir, you will not consider this an insult?" The colonel calmly put on his hat and walked out of the room. The f olio w- iii morning he sent a challenge to his a-'jres.sor. When they came to the (jround the colonel wore a patch of court plaster of the size t.f a crown piece on the check which had received the blow. At the very first luii'e he wounded his antagonist in the sword arm, w hen, taking olT the plaster, he cut off an cdre of it with a pair of scis sors and, replacing it 011 his face, took leave of his adversarj", very politely rt" iucstimr he would tlo him the honor of letting him know when he recovered from his wound. Sosion as he heard he was able to hold a sword the colonel called him out aj'aiii and wounded him a second time, cuttin-; olT another inr tion f the patch. In like manner he called him out. fought and wounded him until the plaster was reduced to the size of a three-penny bit. when the colonel yet once more challenged him and ran him through the lanly. Then, calmly contemplating the c.irpse with an evil smile, he observed: "I now take ofT my plaster." LIFE IN A LIGHTHOUSE. Keeper mt Mtnot'a Itlee Have lion. I n iM.ii uii Sr.rrml I lcesl.i.M. One of the most wonderful light houses in the world is that at Minofs l.tle. near li.-e.toti. Its history has In-cn one of romance. The greater part of its foiin.latioii is under water at low tide. In IS47 a skeleton lighthouse of iron was erectetl there tin iron piles placed in holes drilled into the rock. A furious hurricane burst upon the coast in April, is.1t, and anxious watchers from the ("ohasset shore thought that the structure had lncn carried away. Ihit as the sun sank out shone the li;;ht a.-ross the st. irin-t. issetl waters. At ten p. m. the li".'ht was seen for the last time. At one hour after midnight the fo(f 1h-1I was heard al-ove the roar iiil of the breakers. At day break the ocean wa. a blank; the lighthouse was from. Knowing that no help could reach tliem, the keejicrs had lighted their lamps as a warning to others, and their lives had ffotie out with it. Now u fminite tower occupies the sjKit. So diilicult was it to lay the foundation in the surf that only thirty hours work could le done durinr the first year, but the tower stands to-tlay as enduring as the led(.'e itself an isolated pile of stone amid tin waves, by the force t.f which it i swayed like a tr.f in wind. 1 lurinir the loii( winter months all communication with the lam! is shut olf. In summer the occa sional visitor is hoisted into the lij'hthouse from his txiat by means of a chair, and from time to time a ski If is lowered by pulleys to convey me tir another of the live keepers to the shore.

Kpeeta.1 I'alna Nreiuui.ry In Their Mtna 14-lurr tt 1'roi.l.lo A;iiiMt Aecltlwnta taaitl CorroMitMi frtm tlie Action of the Water. The propeller of a steamer is an in sifrnilicant object comparctl with the hujrc ImmIv it propels ajrainst the et.ni binttl forces of wave and wind, but the l.rooklyu I'atrle says they come to frrief frequently in a variety of ways. A few days afro a steamer in a calm sea, with out a breath of wind almost, suddenly lost tine blade of her screw, just as sud denly and with as little cause or notice as overript-fruit drops from its parent louirh. Around the dry docks arc al ways nundcrs of frifrantic proieilers, all in one stae or other of dilapidation. Stunt are cast iu the solid, that is to say, the hub through which the shaft passes and the fans which extend from it are one solid casting. Others are built, or cast, rather, in sections; the bul is one and each fan or blade is an other, which tit into liases made for them in the hub, where they are screwed on by hujre Ix.lts that are set in the hub eastinf. V.'hen one fan or blade is broken it is easily replaced, as the makers retain the models of all wheels or propellers, as they are indifferently called, whi. h they casL Then the en tire wheel is not rendered useless, as is .he cast when a solidly cast propeller comes to frrief. It is extraordinary to see the pn.jx.rtion of vessels that ar rive havinjr received some damapv to their pri Hers. ( lecasioiially tlamaire is done by the shaft racinjr, as it is tech nically called. That is caused by the steamship plunfriufT head on into the troujrh tif a bi;r sea and so clevathifr the stern and the pricller that it is com pletely out f w ater, and Wimr sudden ly ri.l of the resistance the engine runs away, so to speak, just as an ordinary eiifrine will tlo when a driving licit slips off or breaks, t t.-c asionally propellers are broken by striking tlitiujf lojrsor ice and rarely by striking a whale or lar;re fish, when it is much the worse for the tisli. Hut then is one curious fact always noticeable ah nit propellers; that is that the extremities of the blades are eaten away as thou-rh by some corrosive acid. They are picr.etl w ith holes t.f frreater or lesser depth." hich weaken the j..iiits f the fans so that they snap off. 'ni.-se corrosions arc said to Ik caused by the action of water, but it seems strange that the .. arinfr should take the form of horicycoiubitifT tlu metal instea.1 of wcarii:jr it av.ay sm.Mithlj-. as the mere friction t.f strikiiijr the water mi'ht In supiostnl to tlo. Keccntly screws r propellers are made of tliticretit combi nations t.f brass and other metals, csjiecially for steam yachts, and are very costly. A short time atro a yacht struck a rock in the sound. The force of the blow ; mashed one blade clean oil, alt hoiifrh fastened on by cipht or ten twt-inth lxilts securt-tl by massive nuts, and the second blade was curled ui by the blow just like a sheet t f lead. This wheel was only a three-bladed one, and yet it cost the com parativcly enor mous sum t.f twctity-eijfht huntlretl dol lars.
