at vedette' places in .the city ; and
with a blush she confessedf that she
had become very flunch interested in
him. The rest wehavii•already told.
One of Laromie'a Weak points was
vanity, and here a pretty woman
could, always', strike 'sueoessfil
blow: Re.-had -become fascinated
with Madame DeNoel ; and while he
eat withher in the box, the dembni•
strations of ;his -.admiration were so
great that the lady had several times
to remind •hini that they might be
observed by some of the audience.—
When the performance was over, the
lady asked,him it he would go home
with her to:supper ;•and he, overjoy
ed, consented. t; - \ •
When they reached' the resideno3
of Madame DeNoel, the. carriage
passed in -the court-3 and and they
left it. They catered a dimly lighted
hall, and passed into a sumptuously
furnished apartment brilliantly illu
minated. - •A. fOotman received Mad
ame, and took-.charge of the cloak
and hood which she laid uside. Ler
omie afterwards remembered that,
she loOked at the man in a peculiar
way -as she bade hire - - have aupper
served as soon as possible ;: but he
thought nothing of. it at the time,
• Madame seated tiered!. ia a luxu
rious arm chair, and Laromie threw
himself on a cushion at her feet. For
a long - while neither spoke. A
strange.ailence had fallen over liiem
All the while, however, the young
man's head rested against the arm-of
her chair, and one of her hands play
ed carelessly with his hair.
-, -A, slight noise ~in the. apartment
catuied the detective -to raise "his
head. But be could not taiga it high
enough to see . anything.- Madame's
hand rested Oa-it heavily.
"Bah I it is nothing, my dear
friend,"! she.said. quickly-
• At, the same instant be felt himself'
borne to•the. door by an irresistible
force, and before - he could collect his
wits, which he did not have about
him- this. time, he was bound hand
aid foot and left helpless on the car
pet. Glancing up; he saw the room
was fall of men.
"What does this mean ?" he de
manded sternly. •
- "It nieans,„Monsiour-Lareinie," re
plied the- lady; 'smiling sweetly,
' that you will not sup with me to

Laromie's coolness returned to
him, now • that it was too. late.

his men to lift the Attective, whavas
bound so securely as to be helpless,
and convey him to thodungeon. The
order was obeyed.' Reeler led the
way, carrying.a large lamp, and the
'rest of the men followed, - bearing the
detective with them. They passed
through the hall,
, ` descended a atone
staircase to a large• cellar, and pan
ed before a heaVy closed door, This
Bottler opened, and the party passed
into the room.
The detective Was dot down on the
honor, 'and Router, elevating the
light, said :

The men

heard the bolts slide into this hasp,
and then.all — Was silent. The. duo

that he could uotynoye a limb.

.He bad been in the celrlittle over
an hour when' he heard a noise as if
part of the floor was being moved.—
He listened intently. The sound con
tinued to be heard.
Then some one spoke his name in
a whisper., " Laromie I are yott
bore ?" asked a voice. " Yes," said
the detective; "but who in the
fiend'S name are you,?"
The voice repeated the watchword
of the-secret police; and then Laro
mie was conscious of the presence of
another person in the cell.
" Regnard, isl ; it you ?" asked La

one of his fellow detectives. ” How
did you get in here 7" I •
Reguanl 'drew back the shade of
a dark lantern, and showed Laromie
a square opening in the floor.
" Through that hole," lie replied.
"But stay 1 let macommencelat the

him anxious for your safety. He set

Monsieur Laromie," exclaimed
Roulier, "'are you here ?"
"To be surel am," replied the de
teetive. "How could I get away ?"
- "Irue, 6 muttered , the socialist.—
" Now for a light.".
At, that moment the lamp was
dashed from his hand by a blow.
" Whit does tills 'mean ?" ho ex:
claiined quickly. • ••
"It means," exclaimed Laromie,
in a loud voice, " that you are all-my

'As he spoke the room was lit dp
by the glare of a dozen lanterns from
which the dark • slides were drawn
suddenly back, and the astonished
socialists found themselves in • the
pre enc - e of forty strong and well
armed gene: d'arnzea. The denoue
ment was so sudden and startling
th•:t they roduld not speak at first.
The' police. were prompt, and secur
ed their
• prisoners before they had
recovered from their surprise. "Well,
Monsieur Ronlier," said the detective,
smiling, "tne tables have been turned
this time."
The socialist glared at him, and
:mattered between his teeth :
"You must be ini league with the
devil."
"Perhaps I am," said Laromie,
with a laugh. t "At all events, Mon
sieur, I was not ready to have my
ho trt cut out."
The prisoners were co:Aucted to
the upper part of the house, so that
they did not learn the secret of the
subterranean passage by which the
police had entered the cell, and to
the last regarded their presence there
as a piece of, diabolism on Laremie's
part.. The woman who ensnared the
detective was also arrested.
As, he passed her, Laromie said,
sarcastically, "1 hope you will have
a pleasant visit to Algeria."
She lowered 'her eyes and replied
in a low tone, "I deserve this Mon
sieur, for betraying my mother's only
friend!'
The prisoners, being old offenders )
wcrt.• all convicted, and transported
to the penal colony.
The story • soon became known
throught Paris, and the old house-in
which the detective had been,became
an obj•lct of great curiosity to the
citizens. - The prisoners thetnaelves,
however never learned the solution of
the myMtery. If they ever return
.Prance, perhaps they may hear it.
A SHEEP START.
Once on a time, there lived in good,
old Connecticut a certain deacon of a
church, who made a great 'profession
of religion—always attended church.
on the Sabbath day—never smiled or
uttered a jest, or allowed trifling or
vain conversation in his presence—
and who' invariably,morning and eve
ning, repeated his prayers in prete
ence of his family ; • alw ye leaning
heavily over the back of a chair in
one particular corner of the kitchen;
with his face towards the cellars:leer,
which fastened, as was usual in the
good old times, with a hook affixed to
a staple in the door, and falling into
another in the door-post.
Now,. with his outward - piety, the
deacon was a hard man and an,exact
ing master . He said that he required
only what was right ;" but then you
know, he was his own 'judge
matters, and never allowed' trial hy
jury. His poor wife lived and moved
in deadly fear of his reprimand, and
his children never dared to laugh or
speak above a whisper in his pres
ence. With his hired men he was
exacting to the last degree—requir
ing them to toil without any inter
mission from sunrise to noon, when
he allowed the Men an hour to dine
and rest—just an hour, to the min
ute ; and woe to Mrs. Deacon if the
dinner was not on the table precisely
at twelve, as in that case the men
bad to "stand round and wait." From
'one they were obliged to work till
six, and if one lost an hour it was de
ducted from - his wages. Of course,
his hired men hated him,aud embraced
every opportunity of defrauding 'and
deriding him, end played little tricks
upon him.
Now, the deacon had ate flock of
sheep,and the "patriarch of the ikick"
was a big tinny, fun-loviug old fel
low, always willing, to try the hard
nese of hie head with any and every
opponent, The'A "boys" had ,taught
him to' attack any object towards
which they poinied signifioantly, and
so made for themselves a world of
amusement at his equine. '
Well, it so hapOned that - the dea
con had been unusually''morose and
exacting one day—had reprimanded_
the hired men, lectured his wife ; Scol
ded his girls, and given the boys a
taste of the rawhide, And finally as
sembled the family "to prayers.,. It'
was in haying time, arid the - hoar for
prayer, which was eight o'clock came
jus t early twilight.
he deacon had jest • got marnestly
engaged, when one of-the hired,..nien
perceived the old ram looking inqnis
itively in at the door, with a wonder
fuj devout. knowing air. Some evil
genius put the mischief into the ihan'a
head, and he beckpned the ram. to
him,. and just as the'deacon was
.cal
ling Most fervently upon•his Master,
pointed him, out.to the old beligerent,
wan object of, attack: The brute
gave a knowing whik, filed his head
with .the great curling horns, and
rushed on with the impetuoisity and
force of his - namesake- 1 -the battering
ram—struCk the: stooping deacon
square in the'reaf, driving him vio
lently against the door, the hook of
'which sprang froth its staple, and,
down jumped the deacon'wetride of
his chair, while the ram threw Intel°.
gent somersault and went down - after
him. There 'was s terrible clattering
down the stairs, with the crashing of
tke chair, which broke in its descent ,
and a heavy concussion of ankfand
beast at the bottom of the cniar.

THE DIIELLO• 1
T.ie following details of the duel
between Andrew Jackson and Hr.
Dickerson. were related by Dr. James
Overton, an old resident of Tennes
see, recently deceased. Gen. Jack
min was never communicative upon
t.hb.hubject of this duel, and the doc , .
tor related it as be heard it from his
own uncle, Gen. Thomas. Overton, a
neighbor and bosom friend, as well
as second in this affair, of' Old Hick
ory. •
Gen. Jackson and Dickerson's fath
er-in- law, named Erwin, had some
misunderstanding, probably about
horses and horse racing. The, eon-in
law (Dickerson) undertook to resent
the affront. He, already a good shot,
cepaired to Natchez, and spent there
six months, his chief employment be
iog practice with a pistol. Return
ing toNashville, Dickerson despatch
ed One of his friends - 10 Jackson, with
a letter extremely &bialys of the Gen
eral, and - reflecting on the virtue of
his beloved _wife.
The messenger stated that if the
General would not reply with a chal
lenge, the letter would be published
in the newspapers. The challenge
was sent Col. Archibald Overton,
who was a brother to Abe relator of
these" particulars, and who at:that
time studied law in Gen. Jackson's.
Office, saw the letter Pf , instruction
given to-the General's second, Gen.
Overton. It eoncluded in
.these
words : "Accept no apology ; noth
ing bat his blood will satisfy me."
Time and place were appointed,
and the affair, it seems, was well
known in Nashville ; for, among oth
er facts to give it' publicly,Dicherson
offered $5OO as a bet that he would
kill his antagonist. Jackson's family
Tad no knowledge whatever of the
:affair.-. On the appointed day, Gen.
Jackson and Oferton,without paying
a word or creating any suspicion
about tke aim of their journey, star
ted for tire_ rendezvous. Dickerson
and his second, Dr. Cattal, Were not
on the grourid,and they waited a con
siderable time before they arrived._
Gen. Overton, who was as imperious
as Caesar, and as stormy as 'a tem-
Test, walked up to receive them :
"Gentlemen, why did you let us wait
so long ; or is it your manners to let
old men wait for you* ones ?"
His policy was to confuse Dicker
'son, but.he-could not succeed.
erson was one of the bravest of men,
and his handling of the pistol the
most skilful I have ever seen," were
the words of Gen. Overton, which as
sertiOu, coming from one who passed
through the seven years of the Revo
lution without a furlough, and who,
On account of the unjust attack upon
his ' friend, forever hatSfl the man,
goes far to establish the unquestion
able bravery of Jackson's opponent.
The,next policy of Gen. Overton
was:to gain the power of giving the
word, and the third 'to extract Dick
emu's fire. To guard against Gen.
Jackson's firing to somi,it was agreed
that his. double spring pistol should
not be sprung.
Gen.-Overton threw up--who, ac
cording to his own acknowledgment,
could at pleasure turn nit head or tall.
-The lot of giying command, naturally
fell upon him, and he ordered the two
antagonists to their respective pegs.
The terms were : "To stand with
hands down and -utas close to the
body, until the word fire." While in
.expectation for the word, Gen. Over
ton saw,- or imagined that Dickerson,
who seemed very anxious to fire,
mitred hie right - arm; whereupon he
stepped, up to him,-took hold of both
his arms, and in a stentorian voice
exclaimed : "Mr, Dickerson, keep
your arms still, sir, and remember the
terms of the duel I": Then he quickly
gave the word Dickerson fired, and
Gen. OVertoreknevi his principal was
wounded, beCause he saw the dual
fly from his coat. Jackson, after
aiming, instantly cried Out."&lieral,
I cannot.spring my pistol I" Where
upon the latter, more fehement thin
ever, turned upon him wit "Spring

A.LOHOLICI SIMMAITZ AID ATU

Rev. Theo L. Cuyler,of New York,
has 'written . to Weston, the pedes
tristivto tisk ida.esperience as to th,"
-effect of alcoholic stimulants on those
who aim at athleticachievements. In
:reply to . this Mr.,. Weston gives a
moat empbatio- res ponse that the Ilse
of intoxicating liquors Is not only un
necessary but wholly injurious while
iii the pertitmanci of, any task re
quiring strength anti nerve. The mo
ment,be sap, -a min partakes of such
stimalants, at such a time, he ceases
to. work upon - his owa strength of
-n.anhood, and is simply_ using a false
power built upon a medicine. It rosy
help him - for the moment, but the ef
fect is of short duration, and then he
is worse than before. It not only
weakens his body,'but his nerve, and
takes away his will; and that is not
all, it wilt take away his appetite for
food-. Mx—Weston continues at some
length as follows-in regard to his
habits while training, and, throws out
Some hints which might be profitably
' , observed by others who are not train
ing for bigw 'alks :
I know it is a custom prevulent
among - those who go into a regular
coarse of instruction,-or training (as
it is called), for a 'feat of pedestrian
ism, to give them crackers soaked in
Wine at stated intervals. ;To my mind
this is not only folly and a loss of
time, but morally wrong ; the man
should always be in training (all that
is necessary), have his habits regu
lar, and - have a care of that which he
cats and when he eats it. If be can
not walk fifty 'miles a - day without
taking wine,
he certainly will not,
walk long if be makes that his prac
tice.
Piet is an important consideration
in a walk that places - a stronger tax
than usual upon the physical.systern.
And it a man; desires to.exeel in feats
requiring endurance end strength, he
must pay s strict attention to a diet
based uporothei primitive laws of
health! What 1 recommeedhas been
proved valuabli3 by pejsunal experi—
ence.. Of meats, beef is the best,and
it, should be cooked -rare-.and : then
eaten with cold wheat bread- ; good
sweet buttei ; potatoes, boiled,mash
ed or stewed, and eggs soft boiled.
Too much grease should be avoided.
Wh.n you eat, drink hot tea or cof-.
fee. But before 'eating at all, cea€e
-walking and- rest thirty minutes at
least. The stomach is heated, and it
wants rest as well as thilimba ; be.
aides,: food should not be taken into
it when heated, for then masticatiop
is unnatural ; instead of seizing hold
as it were'of the food, the organs are
In a state of excitement which indu•
ceEi'exhaustion.
As a beverage, when on the road,
I generally use - molasses and water
with the
.beat results. It keeps the
stomach in a measure cool; and cool- T:
nese internallxis refreshing to tho •
whole system. I first used molasses
and water on the road to avoid the
unpleasantlaste of the different qual
ities of water drawn from ' different
wells and springs,snd the expei iment
_was so successful that now I never
start on a journey trying to physibal
manhood, without it. When on the
march, oat meal gruel and beef tea
aru good.as a charge from molasses
and water. Cold coffee and cold tea
I also use as a beverage when walk
ing, and the ipelite craves either. If
I antattacked with sudden pain when
taking severe - exercise, I lay down
flat on my back, elevate my feet, and
after a short rest swellow.two teas
poonsful of peppermint end sugar
with hot water., This does away
with the use of alcoholic stimulants,
since it is the' only emergency -in
which they could be beneficial ; and
peppermint, even in this emergency,
I find the best remedy.
Protracted walks do not reduce or
exhaust the physical systim under
my regimen; On my walk from Port
land to Chicago I gained in fiesh,and
at the end of the. journey, 'felt more
fresh and'vigorone than when I star
ted. -•
After the walk there is no de- -
pressiou. The functions of the body
continue to work in harmony so long
as I take miderate exercise.
