A Forthcoming Duel.
Richard Schkll and Lawrence Jerome,
two well known brokers, of New York,
are no longer the friends that they have
long been popularly supposed to bo.
Both are keen and sharp as a briar, and
would scorn the Imputation that they
could be taken In by the ordinary and
average speculator. But they have each
been accustomed to trust Implicitly to the
pood faith of the other. It seems that
Uncle Dick, as tho former Is sometimes
Irreverently called, induced the latter to
invest in a quantity ot western union
Telegraph stock, and then proceeded to
set on foot certain reports which caused
a ranld depreciation, and caused, also,
Mr. Jerome to lose a goodly sum of
money. The latter did not like this treat
ment, and , forthwith wrote to a newspa
per, and told the public just what he
thought of I'ncle Dick. In the plainest and
pithiest English at his command. Uncle
Dick was indignant. He felt that an At
tempt to horsewhip Mr. Jerome in the
public street would probably be fraught
with difficulties, and perhaps, with dan
ger, and to pull his rival's nose, would be
a paltry ana Insignificant revenge. Long
and earnestly he debated the ouestion
and finally concluded to write a chal
lenge, inviting that gentleman to
meet him on the 1st of June at some point
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Kail-
road, there to commit their dillerencc to
the issue' of mortal combat. He would
not presume to dictate, but he thought
the locomotive would be a novel and ef
fective weapon. Ilis proposition was that
each man should drive his own engine,
and having committed his soul to heaven
and his nrooertv to the next of kin.
should attempt the somewhat hazardous
experiment of trying to pass the other on
a single track. The company would
doubtless make no objection to providing
the engines at a reasonable price, as they
had on their lino plenty of old and worn
out machines, which they would be rather
pleased than otherwise to get rid of at a
fair valuation. Having dispatched this
challenge by a confidential messenger,
Uncle Dick seated himself in his easy
chair, and with some nervousness, but un
abated determination, awaited the result.
About the same hour Mr. Lawrence Je
rome wa3 sitting in a sumptuously fur
nished apartment in his residence. He,
too, was nervous, though he knew noth
ing of the plot hatched in the fertile brain
of Uncle Dick, whereby he was to be
hurled into eternity amid the crash of lo
comotives : but for twenty days he had
been paying his brother 2J per cent, for
carrying his Western Union stock ; hence
the gloom which overspread his rubicund
countenance, and the maledictions, not
loud but deep, which occasionally escaped
him as he remembered the glowing repre
sentations ot Uncle Dick. A letter ws
placed In his hand by a servant. He
opened it with unwonted haste, for it
might be from his broker. It was not.
however, and well might Mr. Jerome rub
his eyes In amazement as he read the start
ling challenge from Uncle Dick.
At first ho was disposed to look upon it
as a gigantic joke, but as he read for the
second time the threatening document he
neiu in ins nana, ne Decame convinced
that the sanguinary spirit breathed in
every letter of it, though perhaps most
clearly visible in cue Plots ami scratches,
was not the senseless loke of an idler, but
tiie inexorable determination of a man who
thirsted for his blood. Mr. Lawrence
Jerome is a brave man, but he has a fami
ly; and the thought that shouli he fall
before the rush of his opponent's locomo
tive, he would leave that family disconso
late, save tor the inconsiderable consola
tion to be derived from the possession ot
a quantity of Western Union stock and a
wrecked locomotive, was more than he
could bear. More than this, even should
he escape, the pleasure of contemplating
the mangled remains of Uncle Dick would
be dearly purchased at the cost of the
locomotive. Some comfort, however, at
tended the recollection that an arrange
ment might be effected by which the
estate of the dead man would pay for the
two locomotives, unless, as was most
probable, both men should be killed, in
which case, except to the surviving rela
tives, it would matter but little how the
engines were paid for, or whether they
were paid lor at all or not.
Fortified by this idea, Mr. Jerome sat
down and replied to Uncle Dick's chal
lenge in terms, if possible, even more des
perately vindictive than, those used by his
opponent. He longed to take his place
on the iron horse, swoop down with a
whistle upon his betraver, and dash tri
umphantly up to the nearest station with
the lifeless form of his opponent sticking
to tiie cowcatcher. This was not exectly
the sort of answer Uncle Dick expected
to receive, and he was proportionally
nonplussed. However, there was no time
to waste in useless regrets, and he at once
began a diligent study of the construction
of the locomotive. Hitherto the proceed
ings had been conducted with perfect
secrecy, but now all Wall street was ring
ing with the rumor that the lives of two
of its most prominent men were in peril
It was received with incredulity, espe
cially when the street liearj the descrip
tion of weapons to be employed in the
approaching combat, but as one circum
stance after another lent strength to the
rumor, it began to gain credence, and it
was not thought unworthy ot two ot the
giants of Change that in the settlement
of mortal feuds they should depart from
the beaten track of ordinary men.---N. Y.

the phrase goes, to a great position, and
corresponded with all the men of science
of his time. "Science," as you remember
Sydney Smith wrote of him,"was his forte,
ana omniscience his weakness." Ol this
last foible many anecdotes are related. A
number of scholars who were engaged to
time with him on a certain day agreed to
read up various abstracts and out-of-the-way
subjects, wherewith to puzzle him;;
but they found he knew a great deal more
of them than they did. At last one
tackled him upon the principles of Chi
nese music, and here he thought he had
an advantage. " You do not appear to be
acquainted witn the treatise upon this
subject in the Encyclopedia Eritannica."
"Aay, Sir; I ought to be so, since J wrote
it myself, though J. have since found rea
son to change my opinion."

That extremely able person, Mr. Brig
ham Young, in relinquishing many im-
Eortant trusts which he had caused the
atter-day Saints to impose upon him,
has vet most firmlv impressed his person

even when nominally leaving It. He has
subordinated the "Twelve Apostles" of
uosepn bmitn to the counsellors, tne right
of appointing whom has lately been con
ceded to him by the congregation of Is
rael. It is hardly just to say-that he has
thus outwitted the Saints, but he has cer
tainly accomplished a coup d'etat so far as
the apostles are concerned, and wrested
from them their power in order to give it
to his own creatures, two of whom among

Digestion and Legislation.
How much of the distracted state of re
cent legislation has been produced by tho
work of law-making being carr'ed
when the (trains of the l-iw-makers are
ob-curcd by fumes of dinner, and the
lungs disordered bv an impure atmos
phere ? The evil is one which everybody
recognizes in general terms; but tho re
cognition is of that imperfect kind whiol
produces no corresponding fruit in action
The most important part of nil public
business is probab'v performed by men
whose st ite of health is below par, and at
hours ot unusual latigue ana obiuscatton.
Everybody who is accustomed to intel
lectual work knows the importance of
seizing the few hours during which his
faculties are perfectly fresh, and he is un
conscious ot the load oi heavy matter
which he is compelled to drug about with
him. But in practice, legislation of all
kinds frequently consists in first reducing
some hundreds of gentlemen to a condi
tion in which their brains are working
with diminished energy, and then induc
ing them to catch at the first compromise
which allows them to escape from a di
lemma which they are too dull to solve
logically. " f you want to hang him,
hang him; and if vou want to let him go.
let him go ; but, for God's sake, let's get
out of this!" were the emphatic last
words of the celebrated Cornish juryman;
and they pretty well represent the state
of mind in which decisions are taken by a
distracted meeting of nrjy kind. Now a
genuine appreciation f the vast import
ance of thorough physical health would
lead to the conclusion that you should no
more set people to decide difficult points
of legislation when they are necessarily in
a state of muddle, than you should set a
man to row a race lust after a heavy din
ner. The work which Is done well is that
which is done with a fresh brain and a
system not overloaded. Our present svs
tern seems to go on the hypothesis that
the digestion is lur too contemptible a
thing to be taken into consideration at all.
Perhaps the consequences are about what

Incremation.
The Rev. Charles Voysey, an emiiwnt
English clergyman, comes out strongly in
a letter to the London Index in favor of
the' new plan. He proposes that when
death has ensued the body should be
chemically destroyed, and "then,", he
says, " it should be placed in some recep
tacle containing those powerful agents
known to chemical science, which would
simply annihilate the outward form, and
practically destroy it. 1 here would ne-
.cessarily be some deposit, which one might
call 'ashes' of the dead; and these might
be reverently gathered and placed in a
beautiful urn or vase, to be disposed of
according to tne wishes ot the survivors
They might easily be deposited in conse
crated places, in niches in the walls of
churches, or in mortuary chanels designed
for their reception. This, too, might be
accompanied by a religious service : so
that the religious element is left untouched
by my revolutionary proposal. The ad
vantage of all tills to people of highly
wrought feelings would be immense. I
can imagine the peaceful calm which
would steal over the mind when one could

An International Scandal.
Though it has been understood from
the beginning that the appointment of
Commissioners to the Vienna Exhibition
were lionorary and carried no salary, the
pressure to obtain these places has been
unprecedented. At first It was hard to
understand why the applications were
made. Some disgraceful lacts have leaked
out since, which show that the same cor
ruption that had made other offices a bv-
word had found footing in these places of
nonor. it was charged explicitly that
two of tho sub-Commissioners appointed
by Colonel Van Buren had agreed to ob
tain for their clients certain restaurant
privileges, for which they were to be paid
$0,000 and $2,000 .severally. Investiga
tion has shown these charges to be but
too true.
When the first whisper of the scandal
reached Washington, the Secretary of the
Treasury telegraphed to our Minister at
Vienna, Mr. Jay, asking him to act with
Sub-Commissioner Thomas McElrath, as
a board of Inquiry into the alleged cor
ruption. They were not lonr in finding
the culDrits. Instead of helping on the
great work that Austria had planned, they
had been portioning out the plot of land
given to the United States Into places for
soda-water stands and baked-bean depots.
Their covetousness had overreached itself,
however, in their eagerness to get their
money and put their friends in possession
of their stands. They will be removed,
and the corruption will stop here. But
the scandal will remain. N. Y. Graphic.

Ocean Ballooning.
A coRREsrownitNT of tiie New York
World has been interviewing Donaldson,
the aeronaut, and thus writes :
lie said he had made but one ascension
with a basket, and that was his first and
his last in that manner. The very first
time he had witnessed a balloon in mid-air
he delighted in the thought of performing
on tno trapeze-bar under it. in repiyio a

feet extended, and then to drop head first
and catch himself by the toes, and in this
position, hanging head downward, sail
in rougn tno air nunureus oi iccc aoove
the earth. "For," he continued, "it must
be borne in mind that in performing the
act my weight, 180 pounds, Is taken off of
the balloon irom tne time i orop until i
catch myself by my feet. Taking off this
weight from the balloon naturally causes
It to shoot up with great velocity, and
therein is the great danger. The balloon
rises with force when no weight Is at

bar will shoot up and be Very apt to sweep
past any obstructions like a man's feet,
and thus throw him from the bar and send
him tumbling headlong toward the earth
Ik'lore I tried the experiment I had no
means of ascertaining what the result
would be, but as I had no fear as to the
consequences I went up and successfully
performed what no other man in the world
has vet done."
I asked him why he was engaged in such
reckless and dangerous business, and he
told me that at lirst ne old it in a proles
slonal way as a matter of business, to ad
vertise his entertainments as a magician
finally lie inaugurated a system of lec
tures. He would make an ascension and
afterward tell the story of his aerial jour
ney from tho stage in some hall, to an
audience at so much a head.
Now he states he desires to aid science.
In a few days he will ascend in a paper
balloon, glued together, for the reason, as
he says, to satisfactorily demonstrate to
men of science the entire safety in bal
looning in the original manner. " Men of
science," said the aeronaut, "cannot be
induced to visit cloudland, and as long as
they remain away the vast resources of
that undiscovered country will remain
Idle and useless forever." I found
this daring man also a thinking
and a careful man. He complained
at length of the unwise expenditure of
monev m examining ocean beds and the
like, When a great natural highway in the
air needed immediate attention. He dis
approves of the present method of gen
erating steam, Decause me weignt oi ma
chinery is too great for the power re
ceived. Air contains all that is required
moisture from which steam can be gen
erated, and pure hydrogen for buoyancy
and electricity for additional power.
These natural agencies in the air can be
gathered as they are needid, thereby
averting the necessity of carrying fuel,
&c, as is at present the custom with
steamships and locomotives. Ho says
these things are all lying idle and waiting
tiie visitation of practical scientists to ex
amine and put them into use. He con
tinuvd : "I would perfect and patent a

People are afraid of height, but, seeming
ly, not of depth. They cross the ocean,
brave water, storm, and drunken sea cap
tains, but they would shrink in holy hor
ror at the thought of crossing tne ocean
in a balloon."
This led the conversation to the subject
of ocean ballooning. Donaldson has his
plans, specifications, and arrangements all
finished ; and by letters in his possession
his project is approved of by Professor
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington and other scientific men
Donaldson is positive of reaching Europe
by balloon, and as firmly believes that the
constantly blowing current of air irom
west to east, at an altitude of something
less than a mile high, was specially crea
ted bv Providence for ferial navigation.
The current that Donaldson speaks of
Is a continual blowing from west to east
when at a certain altitude, and by this he
is confident of landing on the coast of
Ireland in aoouc two ana a nan uays.
He will start, however, when the lower
current of air is blowing toward the east
and continue In it so long as it blows in
that direction. It it changes he can
ascend to the upper current and still go
on towards the east. His plans, he thinks,
are excellently arranged, he having thor
oughly provitled for every conceivable ac
cident or misfortune. In conclusion he
remarked : " Some day the people will
assuredly hear of ocean ballooning, and
it will bo regarded as ordinary a thing as
deep-sea telegraphing. Passengers will
be transported back and forwards. acrss
the Atlantic in one-tilth the time'aiul at
half the'eost of the present steamer fares.
Mails will be transported by balloon, and
thus ocean steamers will be only used for
the transportation ot freight ana mer-
chandise.'

Holland's Elephant.
Thk little kingdom of Holland is hav-ino-
it-a T?ln Van Winkle sleen of peaceful
ness broken by the turbulence of a native
chief In her far-away possession of the
island of Sumatra. He calls himself the
Sultan of Atcheen. and he is the ruler of
a fierce, warlike people, who have thus far
succeeded in maintaining theif Indepen
dence of the Dutch. The trouble is that
the Malay piratts, who are subjects of the
eultan, have lately been committing ex
tensive outrages on British shipping ; and
as, by a treaty with Great Britain, Hol
land is nledged to protect the British sub
jects within the Jurisdiction of the island
as well as her own, steps naa to do taiven
to stop these piratical doings and get re
paration. But protests had no effect with
the Sultan of Atehin, and King William
has finally lost patieiwe and declared war
with the barbarian. Considering that the
sultan has quite a formidable army, and
tiieMiatAnrfl of Holland from the field of
operations, the war promises to become
a pretty cos'ly matter to the Dutch, and
may prove as much of an elephant as the
Cuban insurrection is to Spain. Spring

A Good Farmer. One of our best and
most accurate farmers informs us, says
the Country Gentleman, that when a hoy
as soon as he had learned book-keeping at
school, his father employed him to Keep
the farm accounts the cost oi moor,
amount of work expended on each field
time of performing operations, plowing,
sowing, cultivating and harvesting,
amount of crons. prices at which sale
were made, &c. He soon became much
interested in farm operations, and thor
oughly acquainted with all the details of
work, in a more complete manner than he
ever could have been in any other way,
and was earlv placed on the track of farm
ing regularly and systematically. Let
other farmers follow this example with
their sons, and we should have less of
random, hip-skip husbandry, and mote of
order and success.
Corn renews itself each year from the
seed, but not so with the potato, for this
plant Is propagated year after year from
tubers formed on the procumbent stems,
and of course, must, at each successive
planting, be exactly like the original plant;
for these tubers, or what we call potatoes,
are net seeds but only burled or abnormal
stems. Indeed, if an aerial stem, or stalk,
of any kind of potato, be carefully bent
down and covered with fresh earth, just
allowing its top to extend out of the
earth, small potato tubers will soon be
formed in the axils of the leaves nearly its
whole length. The procumbent stem
that bears the tuber frequently shows its
character by passing out of the hill, when
It immediately turns, upward and be
comes clotTied with leaves like the other
stems.
Does it Pay to Driix Wheat? A
correspondent of the OAto Former answers
the above question as follows : In mak
ing ready for the wheat crop, does not the
farmer select the best wheat land? Then
does he not aim to have it in the best pos
sible condition by scattering over it an
abundance of compost, and with the dili
gent use of the plow and harrow render
it one grand mellow garden for wheat ?
With equal care and judgment he pro
cures seed large and plump and as clean
as it can be made, even though it Is at the
expense of time. After so much toil, is it
not wise to adopt the best method for put
ting in the grain? If the farmer has fol
lowed broadcast sowing from year to year
with only partial success, and frequently
total failure, why not try to drill? Cer
tainly the past year ought to convince a
rational farmer of the superiority of the
drill over broadcast sowing. It lias been
a year of trial, and the drill triumphed.
In a field, the soil of which was 'black
loam, easily frozen, and of course would
not stand a drought, the drill was used,
and a tine crop of wheat gleaned, while ii
sown broadcast no crop could have been
expected, judging from similar fields sown
broadcast. Then It is a saving of seed.
One bushel of seed drilled is equal to one
and a half sown broadcast ; and if the
land is to be seeded down, grass seed can
be sown at the same time. Let farmers
think of this and act with wisdom. Buy
a drill if the dimes are plenty, otherwise
hire one. But use the drill by all means
if you would receive pay for your toil.
Grand Juries.
Archbishop Whatei.ey said that ex
perts, though the best class to judge of
innovations of detail in their own calling,
were the very worst class to decide upon
changes which rose to be revolutions.
The remark shewed the Archbishop's
usual sagacity. It is undeniable that all
great law reforms have been stubbornly
resisted by practicing lawyers. We are
surprised, therefore, to find in the Law
Review an article, evidently written by an
experienced criminal lawyer, which pro
poses an innovation so sweeping as the
abolition of grand juries. Thenumbcrof
the grand jury is unwieldy, to be sure,
and its proceedings are apt to be slow.
But it is not the present grand jury alone
that the critic objects to. It U to any
grand jury at all. And his objection is
simply that the grand jury is useless. It
cannot by finding a bill secure an indict
ment and trial. The public prosecutor
may pigeon-hole its bill, or enter a nolle
prosequi, or draw his indictment so loosely
that it is sure to be quashed. It cannot by
refusing to find a bill secure the release of
the man whom it is unwilling to indict.
The public prosecutor can dismiss his re
luctant grand jury and present a new in
dictment to another grand jury more pro
pitious to him. In fact it is the public
prosecutor who makes or mars the fates of
persons accused of .crime before they are
Drought to the bar, and it is he and not an
acephalous, irresponsible, secret tribunal
to whoai the credit for doing ids business
well or the discredit for doing it ill ought
to attach. The critic of the Law Review
proposes to substitute for the grand Jury
the United States commissioner in United
State courts, and the district attorney in
State courts, and tf give these function
aries in name what they now have in fact
the power to liold malefactors for trial
and to discharge persons unjustly accused.
He adduces several instances of how
corrupt or stupid grand Juries can defeat
the ends of Justice, and how prosecuting
officers can deft at the ends of grand ) uries .
Certainly the grand Jury Is costly and
cumbrous,-and whether or not it is "a
costly, useless, oiten dangerous joss,
worshipped by the ignorant multitude,
but scoffed at by its pritsts." Mio York

of Instances might be adduced In which constltu
Uol al decay baa been arresteu by the continuous
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as an lnvigo

one man to recover from a disease which would be
mortal to another destitute of this element of re
sistance. 'Whenever a malady of any kind obtains
a foothold in any part of the human body, and be
comes a hronlc fixture there, It Is proof positive
that the constitution has been mastered by the dis

Hostetter's Bitters should be taken at least three
times a day. until the natural powers of the system
are recruited. Then the morbid principle which
generated and feeds the complaint will have to
