RUSSIA'S SPLENDID MILITARY SHOW, How a Major of Our Regular Army Got to See the Rig Show. Maj. Upham, of our regular army, who had been sent by our government to France to observe the improvement in tactics, re solved to go up to St. Petersburg, When ho got there he found that a splendid review, to occupy ten days, with sham battles, was about to take place in the environs of Bt Petersburg. He had left his uniform and sword in Paris, and to send for them would have required that they pass across several nations and be stopped at all their custom houses, So he applied to the secretary of legation, who was a Philadelphian and a very decent fellow, but slightly under the Euro- pean morale, to go and see this review, He was told that that was a country of etiquette and that he might as well abandon the idea of seeing the review, A note was written to make that request in his behalf, and the answer was that he must appear in uniform and sword. I made that request for him, in fact, of the legation, as was my duty, being in the consular ssrvice, After it was refused I said to him: “Now, I have obeyed the regulations of my office, and [ will get you permission on my own ac- count to go out there” I told him to say nothing to anybody else, I wrote to the gen- eral commanding the camp. Word came back at once that at the railroad station Maj. Upham would find his ticket. I went out there with him and was taken up to the room of the general. He was a rude, gray old man, who sat there with his vest off and not very considerate about the cleanliness of his shirt. Ho said: “Good morning, general, Where is your friend? I introduced Maj. Upham, Said he: “You shall have every opportunity to see what we are doing here. If you want to sake soldier fare with us in a tent you can bgwe it. I wish [ had my own hotel here to entertain you. But there is a little hotel down the street where you can find fair accommo dations, Every morsing at your door will be horses and ordrlies. Make yourself as bome; soe everything; whenever you want #0, join my staff.” This man was a duke; so wa stayed out there ten days and saw mag- nificent tactics. They had sham battles and splendid cavalry snaneuvers, and I think Up- ham had a first pate chance, When we came back to St. Petersburg the secretary of legation said that he was sorry Maj. Upbam bad not brought his sword and uniform, but there was no remedy under such a government of etiquette, “H said we, “we have been out there ten days and had a first rate time. "Gen. P. M. B. Young in “Gath's" Enquirer Letter. A Duel Out West. “P'r'aps you don't remember whem Wild Bili kiliel Dave Tutt! Well, I guess not. You must a’ been quite a kid then. Dave said Bill owed him money, an’, Bill's watch bein’ on the table, Dave picked it up and said he lowed he'd keep the watch until Bill paid him the money. Bill said he didn’t owe Dave no money, but Dave said he did, an stack to it. Bill Jooked kind o' queer when he said, ‘Dave you'd better put down that watch,’ but | Dave laughed an’ said he didn’t give a d— Dave said, ‘Bill, I'm goin’ to pac across the square at noen to-morrér,’ and Bill knew that was a challenge. Tutt was an old scout an’ not 'fraid o' nobody, an’ could | knock the eye out o' an eagle on a dollar as far as he could see the coin. The next day at | noon there was a crowd on the square, ‘cause | it was ashootin' match wuth seein’ “Jest at noon Tutt started to cross the square, an’ purty soon Bill was ‘ween also ou | 8 hat watch | on one side o' the square an’ Bills on the other.

Bill didn't wait to see the effect o’ his shot, but turned to Tutt's friends, an’ throwin! his gun down on ‘em, remarked very quiet an’ gentlem'nly, ‘Are you satisfied, gentle m'nf They was, an’ never said nothin’, Just then Tutt, who had been standin’ still an’ movin his pistol as though he was goin’ to fire again, staggered a little an’ without a groan. Bill's bullet bad caught him through the heart, while his ball had tore through Bill's hat, just raisly® the hair slightly. That was a duel, now, an’ don't you fergit it, an’ the whole town was sec. | onds. There wasn't no business done until after it was settled, an’ everybody agreed that the thing was bang up an’ on the square, Neo pun Ttended,” NC Hedyp Tribuna Manuscript for Th for The Record.
