In Bussian Poland a lady recently
became her own champion by fighting a
dueliwith a man who had calumniated
her. It appears he had offered his
hand, whicn she had refused. Stang
by her rejection, he set himself to spoil
her good name by spreading false re-
ports about her. Thereupon this plucky
lady declared that a duel alone could

assistance of several gentlemen who
were anxious to make her cause their
own, she invited her traducer to * ‘pistols

As Mr, Portlock was turning the core
ner of Eighteenth street, however, he
was conscious of a loud hail. A splen-
did and imposing youth, whom Borace
recognized as his friend Tibbitts, old
Shadrack Tibbitts’ son, had drawn his
gleaming dog cart sharply up beside the
curb, and was engaging Mr. Portlook’s
attention by vigorous flourishes of his
whip. So Horace went over and shook
hands and Mr, Tibbitts begged the
favor of his company at breakfast, at
his club, at noon. Yes, Horace would
come, if the Doctor let him off in time.
“Oh, hang it,” roars young Croosus
