The city Vicksburg, Mississippi. has
always been rem:trhable, even before the
recent war gave lee a profound national
interest. Many years ago she supplied
tile class of writers who furnish the sub
stratum for most of the circulating, libra
ries with plots dark and dreadful enough
to satisfy even the present craving for
sensation. The place had been noted
since its earliest settlements. for the bel
ligerent character of its inhabitants and
the number gmd atrocity of the violent
deeds NViliell stained its streets with the
blend of human hearts.
It is not mu• present purpose. however,
to sketch any or these more celehrated
brute-battles, but merely to select, for the
sake of its mom laid moral alone, a soli
tary tragedy. which was briefly chronicled

tided I'mom the 1 LLemory until writ ev receiv
ed the story from the wife of the victim
in all its particularity. She of course
could never forget. To the latest hour
of lier existence, the wife of the murdered
hero wept at the reminiscence.
In the year 5f.7., a youn4 lawyer, John
Thomas, emigrated from Worcester,
- Massachusetts, to the state of Mississippi.

to locate ;It Vicksburg. then considered

In a very short rune the new lawyer
had ample reasons to congratulate him

him patronage: and he rose almost at ;t

and fiery altercations of the forum he nec

had hitherto been ventured on his person.

" God will protect you from the hold,

The next morning it was known in
- Vicksburg that "the Yankee orator"' had
been challenged and refused to light. Ac
cordingly. he was generaly denounced as
a coward—a word which. at that day,
might be considered as expressing far
deeper scorn than either robber or assassin.
As lie passed through the streets lie was
astonished to witness the coldness mani
fested by his old acquaintances, and even
professed friends. while the great mass of
the people seemed to regard Mill with in
effable contempt. `'Yankee white-liver,''
"boaster,'" - poltroon." were the sounds
most freipientlyrung in Ids ear, especially
when near the groceries. and there was
one then on every terrace of the broken
hills.
The matter grew worse. Almut a Week

piddle square. presented a cocked pistol
at his heart with one hand, and belabored
him unmercifully with a cowhide which
he grasped in the other. llesistanee at
that moment was altogether out of the
question. for the slightest motion would

and bore the castigation in silence.
After this. clients deserted his office.

not have been more carefully shunned.
Another week intssed and the degraded
lawyer \Vas in a state of mind bordering
on insanity: and yet all the while he con
cealed the mental bn . ture from his affec
tionate wife. One evening in a more than
common bitter and gloomy mood, he was
again accosted by Mike Johnson. with his
cocked pistol in one hand was more aggra

apectators.
•• CoNV:Ird and villain!" exclaimed John
son. did I not tell you that I would COW

•`I am not a coward." retorted Thomas
in a hollow tone, so unearthly fierce and
wild that it Caused every hearer to start.
At the instant, his lips were livid and
clenched between his teeth till the blood
ran. Ills eyes were red as a mad dog's
and the muscles of his face quivered; lint
his holly and limbs seemed to have the
rigidity of marble.

whisper through the excited crowd, as
they saw the terrible tokens of the fiend

haul ringing answer.
Then you accept my challenge?"
" I do. Will any one present lie so good

The question "Who is be? who is he?"

The meeting took place the following

The principals were placed in opposite
corners of the apartment. each was
armed with a large bowie knife—no more.

Le could hear nothing in the grave-like si
lence but the quick beats of his own busy
heart. Presently, however, there crept
into his car a scarcely audible sound, as
of suppressed breathing, in the corner of
the room which lie had previously left:—
and then he knew that his foe was trying
the same stratagem. The ruse was repeat
ed thrice, with a like result. At length
Thomas as concluded to stand perfectly
still and await Johnson's approach, Mo
tionless now himself, and 01l ear, soon he
could distinguish a soft. rustling noise,
like the drooping of flakes of wool, circling
around the floor and gradually advancing
toward him.
At last when the sound appeared within
about three feet of the lawyer's position,
be suddenly made a bounding plunge with
his knife, aimed in the dark air where he
supposed the bosom of his foe to be. Ills
blade struck against that of the other,and
a few sparks of fire rolled at the fierce col
lision and he fell expiring on the floor.
And then, for an instant, the seconds
without the door heard a sharp ringing of
steel, a groan, a fall, and all again was si

had ended; but how? They were appalled
at the horrible question.

A CHAPTER ON COURTING.
If young men only knew anything.
they'd know when to go home, after they'd
passed a delightful evening courting Sally
Ann.
But they don't.
Let 100 tell you boys, there is such a
thing as getting too much of a good arti
clo.
I don't deny that girls like to be courted,
and you won't lind one in live hundred
who is at all adverse to having a nice look
ing beau; nor one in ten times live hun
dred who don't like being courted better
than anything else.
But for all this, you needn't court them
to death.
Because you are as fond of hugging and
kissing Sally as site is of being hugged
and kissed, you ought not to be such a
simpleton as to suppose that she likes to
he hugged until daylight every time you
come a courting.
Then, you lose favor with-the girl's pa
and ma if you keep their house open all
night, or until midnight, even.
People who have just passed the period
of romance cannot appreciate the joke of
your staying quite so late every time.
They are painfully awake to the facts
that fuel and lights a•e smnewhat expen
siye, and more than that, they know that
every hour their daughter sits up after her
usual bedtime is just so much vitality
taken front her system.
Mothers do not like to see their daugh
ters come down to breakfast in the morn
ing with dull. heavy eves, and cheeks frota
which all the roses have been kissed, and
if you knew, oh delighted lover—l say if
you knew the scoldings and threatnings
passed round in the family of your adored.
in consequence of your staying so late,
you would go luane at a reasonable hour.
And the girl, if she is a sensible girl.
will like you ten thousand times as much,
if you come early to your courting.and go
home when people wish to go to lied.
I say it's downright cruelty to keep a
young girl from her rest, just to say to her
over and over again a tuess of sweet non-

than nave to go into my neighbor's house
and stay there hair the night to amuse
myself, or pass away the time.
Beyond the useless waste of time and
strength. there isdanger in allowing young
girls to be left so nmeh alone with young
men.
'crimps there is no country where so
many eases of wrong and deception occur
as in our OWII, and certainly there is no
other country where this contemptible
habit of sitting up nights, to court and be
courted, prevails to such an extent.
Put the two facts together. and L think
you will sue that it is not at all strange
that so many young girls are deserted by
the very lovers who were once so anxious
to visit them and stay late.
I doiaknow what I should oif a young
man came courting a daughter of mine.
I haven't one big enough to he courted

But I suspect that I should make it (le-

HOME AND WOMAN.
If there has been a more touching or el
oquent eulogium upon the charms of home
and its dearest treasure—woman—than is
contained in the following extract, it has
not been our good fortune to meet it:
" Our homes—what is their corner-stone
but the virtue of woman? and on what
does social well-being rest but on our
homes? Must we not trace all other
blessings of civilized life to the door of our
private dwellings? Are not our hearth
stones guarded by holy forms of conjugal,
tilial and paternal love, the cornerstone
of Church and State, more necessary than
both? Let our temples crumble, and our
academies decay, let our public edifices,
our halls of justice and our cupolas of
State be levelled with the dust, but spare
our homes! Let no socialist invade them
with his wild plans of community.
Man did not invent, and he cannot im
prove or abrogate them.
J. private shelter to cover up two hearts
dearer to each other than all the world,
high walls to exclude the profane eyes of
every human being, and the place for chil
dren to feel that mother is a holy and pe
culiar name—this is home, and here is the
birthplace of every sacred thought. Here
tile church and the state must come for
their origin and support. 0! apare our
homes! The love we experienCed there
gives us faith in an infinite goodness: the
purity and disinterested tenderness of
home is our foretaste and earnest of a bet
ter world. In relations there established
and fostered, do we find through life the
chief solace and joy of existence. W112.t
friends deserve a name compared with
those whom a birthright gave us? One
mother is worth a thousand friends: one
sister truer than twenty intimate com
panions. We have played on the same
smile, who date back to the same scene
and season of innocence and hope, in
whose veins run the smile blood—do we
not find that years only make sacred and
important the tie that binds us? Cold
-11055 may spring up, distance may sepa
rate, different spheres may divide, but
those who can love anything, who contin
ue to love at all, must find that the
friends whom God liimself gave are wholly
unlike any we choose for ourselves, and
that the yearning for these is the strong
sparks ill Our expiring affection."
A FABLE
Two neighbors, whose name:: were Self
Ind Will, attempted to cross a stream
Wm opposite sides. upon a foot-bridge so
iarrow as to allow• of but a single footman
at the .satne time. They met about mid
way of the stream, where each insisted
that the other must turn back and give
the right of the way. Each claimed to be
first on the bridge, and maintained his
ground as a prior occupant. Each con
tended for this right as a matter of princi
ple, which would allow of no concession.
Each pleaded urgent and important busi
ness.lfelt himself 'wally bound to
maintain his rights. Self could not in
cnii.,c;ence make concessions without s,ec•
iriring his ht»tc. , t roa , idioas.
Argument resulted in angry words, and
from hard words they soon came to blows
and in the struggle to maintain each his
own rights,both fell together in the stream.
Each with difficulty gained the shore,
exhausted and shivering from a cold bath.
Each consoled himself with the idea of
personal suffering for righteousness'
sake;'• and both became bitter enemies for
life.
While they were muttering revenge
upon each other, two other neighbors,
named Love and Kindness, met in like
circumstance upon the same bridge. It
was a meeting of glad surprise. They
exchanged cheerful and !nippy greetings,
and each insisted on yielding the right of
way to his brother. Each desired to be
first in the concession; and to carry out
each other's prineiples. both twice crossed
the bridge together. After a friendly
chat. they parted company. finding in
their experience a practical reason for the
injunction, " Let each esteem the other
better than himself."
ZEE EXPLOSIVE BULLET
The last and most destructive of the
death-dealing projectiles, the explosive
bullet designed by RertubmA, and executed
by a French artisan in the firearm factory
of Devisine, is described in the army and
Navy Journal. Externally quite similar
to the original Minnie, a cylindric-conical
mass of lead, it is discovered, by an un
screwing of its length about midway, to
be internally a magazine of fulminate.
The explosive compound—dynamite pow
der. condensed powder, or whatever it
may be—has an explosive force six times
that of gunpowder. Experiments which
have been made under• the patronage of
the lthisian. Prussian and Austrian gov
ernments, and last by our own War De
partinent. demonstrate not only its effect
iveness, lull the singular properties its
inventor has given to it. Being given
the distance of the target, its density, the
quantity of charge in the gun and the
same of the ingredient consisting the pro
jectile, lie has established a most exact
relation, by accurate calculation, between
the force necessary to explode the project
ile and its penetration before subjection
to this pressure. Thus the magazine can
be so constituted that the passage of the
bullet through a sheet of paper would ex
plode it, or so that the severe impact of
iron or hard wood is needed for such a re
sult. It is comforting to be assured that
'• A ball %Mich would not explode in the
body of a soldier or of a horse, if not at a
very limited distance, would explode in
