A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
A FiEIICE AND BLOODY KNIFE DUEL
IN A MOUNTAIN TOWN.
It Was the Culmination nf a Ijong Stand
ing Ieud, and Waft rreclpltatetl by n
Cur Dog Sancnlnary lleiultl of Un
bridled rtrucltjr.
It was Sntnrcly anil "trading day,"
nnd the little mountain town was filled
with scored of both white and colored
people from up and down the valley.
There was considerable drinking, bat
everybody seemed good natared to me,
I coald not see the (-lightest sign oC un
easiness, but by and by the captain oame
to mo as I stood in front of the postoflice
6nd saidi
"Looks mighty like thur' was gwine
to be bloodshed yerel"
"Why, everybody seems peaceful and
eerene, so far as I can see."
"Yo' doan' know these folks. Bee that
yero gatherin over by the harness shop?
That's the Jackson crowd. Bee that
other gatherin over by tlio drug store?
That's the Berry crowd. They're jiet
eyin each other like two bulldogs, and a
leetlo mo' whtsky'll bring on n font."
"Is there any feeling between the two
crowds?" I asked.
"Powerful bad. I dun goes cl'ar back
to the wah. The Jacksoua was Union
and the Berry's was Confcd, Thar was
houjeburnln and robbln and shootin,
and they doan forget. It's the fnst time
the two crowds hev bin in town together
fur lnore'n n y'ar, and I doan like tho
looks ot things."
"Can't the officers of tho law keep
them quiet?"
"Officers of the law! Why, man, if
them crowds were to break loose fifty
officers of thelaw couldn't prevent blood
shed I"
Tho leaders of tho respective factions
were men who must have been mere boys
when tho war broke out. Each had
about a dozen adherents, who were all
moro or less closely related.
now tue noiiT staktld.
They did not seem at nil anxious for a
conflict and might have gone their ways
without a blow but for tho action of n
dog. He was n mean looking cur and
belonged to the Jackson. In wander
ing around he got into the Berry crowd
and one of tho men sliced nbout six
inches of his tall off. Tho dog rushed
back to his master, while the Berry
crowd mocked his yelps of pain nnd
fright.
All of n sudden Steve Jackson btepped
to the middle of tho street, flung do
his hat and shouted:
"Tom Berry, ef yo' hain't a coward,
come out yere nnd fight me!"
Tho challenge was instantly accepted
and within sixty seconds a ring was
formed nnd 800 people wero looking on.
The men wero pretty evenly matched as
to height and weight and age. It was
not to be a battlo with fUts, but with
long, keen hunting knives, and you could
tell at a glanco that it was to be a fight
to the death. At first there was innch
jostling and moving nbout, accompanied
by shouts of encouragement to the men,
but after a few moments it was quiet
painfully quiet. I think there wero at
least thirty women among the onlookers
and fully that number of boys and girls
from ten to eighteen years of age.
BOTH DUELISTS KILLED.
It was tho first and only time I ever
saw men fight with knives, and it was a
horrible thing to see. As soon as their
friends fell back they rushed upon each
other with the greatest fury. Each
griped the other with his left hand and
stabbed and thrust, and oach was
wounded four or five times before they
broke loose. Not n person in the crowd
spoke abovo a whisper. Every eyo fol
lowed tho men as they feinted nnd
dodged like prize fighters, and men ond
women shiverod and gasped for breath
as one or tho other of the knives drank
blood.
Tho road was dry, but, without dust.
Presently it was dyed with blood. The
men slipped a littlo now and then as
they dodged about. Blood ran oil their
finger tips, down their legs. I trembled
liko a leaf. I felt a horrible disgust, nnd
yet I could not inovo away. I felt I
must see tho end.
When the fight had lasted a quarter of
an hour, and one man had eight stabs
and the other nine tuoy suddenly
clinched each other, as at first. Neither
uttered a cheer, curse or groan.
They stood square up to each other,
and hacked and cut and thrust until
both sank down from sheer weakness.
Jackson died within ten minutes; Berry
lived about thirty. The one had thirty
three wounds, tho other twenty-eight.
As they were picked up by their friends
and carried into the drugstore to breathe
their last, tho hogs running about the
village camo and disputed with the
dozen dogs over possession of the blood
pools. Detroit Free Press.
A Hoarding School Supper.
A teacher in a largo boarding school
for young ladies used to jest over a pupil
whose appetite at table caused her neigh
bors serious alarm. It was tho custom
to have hot raised biscuits twice a week
for supper, and this gul, after eating six
ono evening, gave her teacher and doctor
a very bad night indeed. Itneverscemed
to enter anybody's head that hot yeast
biscuit wa3 the food above nil others to
cause morbid appetite and bilious at
tacks. Yet tho supper of hot biscuits
and cheese with honey or preserves is one

NOTES ABOUT WEATHER VANES.
Carved Wooden Vane Went Out with
figureheads In Ships.
When the Phoenician sailor stuck n
needle through the stem of n feather and
held it out in the wind, he invented the
first weather vane, or feather vane. He
was nearly equaled by the Indian boy,
who was taught tn moisten his finger in
his month nnd to hold that finger aloft
in the air. When that finger grew cold
on n certain side the Indian child knew
that the wind came from that particular
direction. The Phoenicians, however,
were probably the first of nil civilized
peoples to put iho vnno of feather into
practical use.
Since those early days weather vanes
have been used in every form nnd by all
races. Modern vanes In their present
shapes were first mado of wood by
traveling carvers and later of copper
by tinkers and smiths. They were used
on poles, churches, public buildings,
ships and were placed on rocky points of
land along the seashore. They are now
made in every conceivable design and
pattern. Horses, cows, deer, eagles,
ships, roosters aud oven pigs ore ham
mered out in copper and used to register
the direction of the wind.
The newer vanes havo rain cups at
tached for catching water during n
storm. The amount of water that falls
Is measured by the square inch in a tube
under the vane. Wind gauges also are
attached. Tlieso indicate tho speed of
the wind. The gauges are small cups
hung sideways to the vane. Tho wind
blows them around in n circle and the
revolutions are registered by electricity.
Nearly all the large weather vanes in
town are connected with dials in the
buildings below.
The dial is round, liko the face of a
clock, lettered liko a compass, and a re
volving hand shows the action of tho
wind on tho vane overhead. Vanes are
no longer set in sockets, ns it is nearly
impossible to keep them properly oiled.
Thoy are hung loosely, like a cap on n
pivot, and the hollow stem of the vane
hangs over the head of the pivot, cover
ing it from rain and rnst.
One of tho largest vanes tver seen in
New York was placed on the postoflice
nbout fifteen years ago. It was so large
that it was considered unsafe and was
taken down. A good drawing of it i:
still in existence. The arrow, scroll and
banneret seem to be tho favorite shapes
in vanes at present. The fence jumping
horse aud tho plow are yet found on the
grounds where country fairs are held,
but they are not in great demand. The
tobacco leaf vano is fouud largely in the
south and in Connecticut. The spread
eagle and running deer are wind signs
in tho western states, the deer moro par
ticularly in Canada. Malt barrels in
copper are placed on breweries through
out tho country. Now York Recorder.
The lll.tnry of Tweed.
I had not been many weeks in Edin
burgh before one of my friends in the
cloth trade wroto me from London in
quiring about a "coarso woolen black
and white checked stuff, made in Scot
land and expected to bo wanted for
trousers," and asked me to send some
patterns of it. This was easier oskpiI
than performed, for ut that period shep
herds' checks wero only made in plaids,
or mauds with borders aud fringes. I,
however, contrived to sut a Binall piece
from the seam.ot my brother's cloak and
forwardod it. The postage in those days
cost 2s. 3d., as tho small pattern consti
tuted my note a donble letter.
Ho replied that the article was just
what ho wanted, and asked me to for
ward him half a dozen pieces, but at
that time I do not believo there was one
piece in all Scotland I I, however, soon
got them made, and I believe these were
the first Scoteli tweeds that wero sent to
London in bulk. My friend was in n
position to introduce them into influential
quarters, which ho did successfully. In
creased orders followed rapidly, and he
and the firm I am connected with had
almost a monopoly of the trade in Lon
don in these goods for a considerabls
time. Border Advertiser.
NEW LONDON IN WAR.
The Strategic Value of n Connecticut Cltj
In the llcreiiie of S.w York.
Nuvy officers who have studied the
region have often and urgently pressed
upon their department tho importance of
developing the station at New London
and making it. efficient. One must ud
miro their enerjjy and faithfulness in
continuing to lay before their superiors
the vital iraportanco of strengthening
this strategic base in tho outer defense
of Now York in tho f,ico of long con
tinned pigeonholing of reports. That
their anxiety is not unfounded becomes
rlain when we consider that Great
Britain lias a powerful station at Hall
fax, from which, if so disposed, she
could hurl her thunderbolts of maritime
war upon this unprotected spot at very
short notice, precisely ns she could
strike our South Atlantic coast from the
Bahamas. She may never even wish to
do either thing, but isn't it rather fool
ish to remain unprepared for the blow
when we havo ample resources for es
tablishing a guard against it?
The amount ot trade that passes
through Long Island sound coastwise is
hardly conceived of by tho majority of
citizens. It amounts to a great many
million dollars' worth a year, and all
this trado could bo paralyzed by a quick
stroke from a foreign navy. In 1880 tho
entire munitions of war manufactured
in the United States amounted to tll,-
000,000. Of this total, $9,000,000 worth
was manufactured in Connecticut alone,
A foreign fleet iu the sound, therefore,
would lie able to deprive us of our main
source of munitions without even at
tempting to attack New York.
Cat off a city's supply of nir and what
would it matter whether that city sur
rendered or not? Shut off from New
York in war time nine elevenths of the
material it needed for war and it would
bo as helpless ns a city without air to
breathe. But this is not all. An enemy
in the sound could cut at New London
and again at New Haven, the chief lines
of land communication and railroad
transportation between New England
ana new York.
If of the loss which would thus be
caused a small percentage were now to
be promptly upplied to building up New
York's outer line of defense, with a
strong navy yard at New London as its
Dase, the whole cost would be defraved
in a few years without inconvenience to
any one. In time of action, while our
battle ships and cruisers patrolled the
Race or engaged the enemy, with sup
port from the forts, our monitors, emerg
ing from New London, would lurk safe
ly behind Fisher's island, prepared to
assist; for there again, on the north face,
nature favors ns with the sheltered wa
ters of Hay harbor and West harbor. In
case of injury, vessels could quickly run
into New London, and repair at the navy
yard. Thus, while the surroundings and
topography are not the same as those of
the entrance to the Mediterranean, we
should still liave what might well be
called "an American Gibraltar," quite
as invulnerable as the stronghold at the
pillars of Hercnles, aud much greater in
range.
Boatou can be equipped effectually to
uoienu uerseir; ana .Newport also, It
fortified, is in a position to ward off an
enemy. But neither of these, by so do
ing, can help to defend New York. New
London, on the other hand, if her nat
ural advantages are utilized, can repel
any attack on New York from the east,
and thereby relieve the inetronolis from
dread la that quarter. It is well, it is
indispensable, to protect New York from
asaauit uy way of the Narrows. But
what will it avail to bar that small front
door if the broad rear entrance through
iue aonna be lert undefended? G. V.
