BALL THAT LAID A NOTIO DCELLII-T ?3 j ' 9 2 4 f Some STtf J-ears tj" tfcere fived in tbe west of Ireland a certain Captain Fenton. ThJ aan bad gained aa unenviable no toriety in bia own and the neighboring con e tie as a suctesef J Jteliet. Xoi cily was lie known, to niAe the moot O-iiial dispute a pretext for a challenge, but it wm even reported that, on more than one occasion, he pnrpoeelr provoked a qaarreL The meeting, jn nearly every instance, ended dis&stronslv to hie oppo- Pent - j- ''--- ,.-T He had the reputation of being an un erring hot Coolly and collectedly he stepped to hi place, took steady aim, al most invariably " bringing down bis aa - tr tmnJl t - r ; , ... f r ... Ut will, therefore, be fealiiy coccsived that he was dreaded and .banned by hi neighbors. He was a bachelor, and liv ed alone in a large, ancient country man sion. At that time fiere happened to,, be a rne.regiment stationed in the aeigtibor- ing town of Gal war ; Captain Tenton was on terms of intimacy with some of the officers, and, though far from being a gen eral faTorite, it not infrequently occurred that be dined at the mes on guest night But whenever b was f resent an air of restraint pervaded the assembly. -Tbe dinner was sure to be a spiritless affair, and always lacked tbe tone of "(rood-fel-lowsbip which usually ebsrscteriaeasuch entertainments.'' TaBt ay iu a meaSBr De bMmil for by the fact that the captain was of a more, hatfcfitr dlaposltten. Hiseonver- aation geaerail"' dirlayecl a bitser aar cam.'' Moreover, all present were aware hfhis fame as a duelist. This knowledge rendered them more cautious in speech, lest a chance word or expression should afford bim sufficient grounds for picking a quarrel. About six months after its arrival in Gal way the regiment waa joined by a junior subaltern. He was a meie lad, being still in bis teens; yet; by all -ac counts, he was a hoe, aowieriy- young fellow. He gave every promise of mak ing a splendid officer, and but a few weeks sutiiccd to eaubiiaQ him as a fa vorite, i : ? ; But, alas? Only a thort time elapsed before be had the misfortune to (all ful of Captain Fenton. Thoo?h I have heard the story from those 'who dwelt it tbe place a bo were folly acquainted with eve ry detail, yet I have never been able to ascertain the eaact ri of tbe disawree meut. However, certain it is that a chal lenge was given am! acewpted. Tbe sff ur was kept as secret as possible, an I at tbe appointed time the meeting took plat, in tbe corner of a meadow, half a nane froa ths barracks. ' , '' i. 7t was a bright spririg morning. The peaceful apect of nature formed a terri ble contrast to the awful business which bad brought those fine men so early to this lonely spot N"oi:noch time was lout in preparations. - Tbe combatants were placed, the pwtols loaded, and the sec onds retired. The young offroer stood with the full front of bia body presented to bis opponent. He was a novice in sacb aaAirs, poor boy! It is even said that at the precise moment of firing be involuntarily closed his eyes. If such was the case, be never opened them again in thi world! Hiadverary s ball pass ed right through Lis heart Tbe surgeon tan form a and raided the fallen yootb. A basty examination showed him that he held a corpse in his aruo.. While he was thus engaged, Cap Lais Fenton was occupied' ia a very dif fefvat manner, "dfswas carelessly cut ting a notch on the stock of bis pistol. There were seven other marks of a simi lar description, acd each tne represented s victim to whom that weapon bad dealt death. . - " A stretcher was brought from tbe bar racks and the corpse was maveyed there without delay. The aff.ii would doubt less have- treated a protind sensation, but for obvious reasons those engaged LA it were careful to let as ew particulars as possible leak out. The friend a of the deceased werecommunicaed with. There seemed little likelihood cf any unpleas ant consequences ensuing Captain Fen-j sea dined alone thai evens?; and all ar dinner sal for over an "hear sipping bis claret with evident eroyment. One more or less to the list of its victims was s matter of little account b'hira ; it was certainly not of surhcient importance to disturb bis eqasnioavty. - --; jS ? ,i t - . f But on tbe third day s artiiiig change took place ia the aspect ot affairs. A yoon man, travel stained, axle and bag gaxdvAXiived in the town. He proceeded atencf to jibe banacks, aid announced hiasseffaa:'abtberfcfthelead. Ha was conducted to tbe roon in which the body was laid. They say he scene that followed was of the most extraordinary deaaripUosx. The stranger flons himself upon tbe corpce, an aa h. lay there, b is wbole frame was shaken iy convulsive obs. It quickly transpired tbi the brothers had been left orphans wfen mere ladfc Tbey were tbeymly cbiidcn of the fami ly, and khroeh boyfcood had faj to eacb other, teeRng that tley-wtre i!one ia tha world. Tbeir lore was like that j sai aanouaced that bis nvaa was dead, which bound David sad Jonathan to- j Tks btdlet bad penetrated his left tera getbtr. It can, therefore, be scarcely eca- p'e- He reaeted their assistance La n ceived, .with what feelings of dismay tb rovinf the body. This they reedij'y elder heard of the death of tie younger, j granted, but Mr. Marti sad his young When the first paroxysm of grief was ! friecd held a!oof. As the ethers raised over, the young man raised himself from j the dead mas, they noticed a peculiar the corpse, .

With this object In view he re- j from them. They found coucealed te tirel from the apartment, and in- ! neata his clothing a tight-fitting coat of stantly dispaicbed a cbaileaga to Captain ! Fenton. .The officers endeavored to dis- ! snade him fram such a rash step, point ing oat that instead ot avenging the slain be was himself sure to fall a vktisa to hie opr .cent's skill. Bat remonstrance was ia vais. To one sad all be replied, simply r ..-,- - - " My brother is dead ; I da not rare to live." " " Cnd?r these circumstances it seemed hopeless to prevent this second doeL Some, Indeed, thought of appealiog-to Captain Fenton in order to persaade hiia if possible, into lefusing tbe challenge. But none were very eager to undertake such an unpleasant doty, CHpevially as there appeared little likelihood of their eil'jrts being crowced with soceese. Nevertheless, there was ene who Tea tared upon the disagreeable task, a Mr. Martia, who resided in the neighbor hood. The greater part of his life had been spent in Australia, where he bad worked aa extensive sheep station. Bat want of success, or some other tm known reason, made him sell out and return to his native country, Here he rented large tracts of land for graiing purposes. His sheep "ruus" extended upwards of s dozen miles, and A-e had also several magnificent herdsof cattle. -. . He was generally looked upon aa a qoiet, snsssamiDg old getUlemsa, who had never interfered in other people's bnsinese. In fact, his one aim and ob ject in life seemed to be the welfare of bis flocks and herbs.. Bui ia the pres ent instance, having learnt some particu lars regarding the late tra'jaHy, be deter mined, if possible, to prevent s repeti- tioD of tbe aad event. With this object in view, be caEed npon' Captais Fenton. Though he had turned three-score years, 31 r. Martin was still bale ana hearty. Like the patriarch of old, " bis eve was not dim nor natural force abat ed." A beard of snowy whiteness-descended from bis weatber-besten coun tenance. His venerable" appearance would, in al! probabilUf, have gin con siderable weight to his argumnie &&& he to deal witi one whi aesoected gray hairs. But as it was, Captain Fenton listened with 01-concealed contempt. In answer .ta tbe old man's remonstrances regapricg the resoit of the recent duel, his reply invariably was that " it served the young cub right." Mr. Martin entreated him to relinquish on intention of lighting, 'he surviving brother. The intercession was ' per sistent that, aa- might have beeri antici pated, the captain lost his temper, and turning upon his visitor, he abruptly or dered him to leave the house adding an offensive expression to the effect that " he would not allow an old builock driver to inierferejio any of his aiTairsJor honor." -- ' - - ' - "Sir," returned Mr. Martin, quietly, " you have insulted me ! . . ".It seems .so," .replied the captain, tauntingly. "And," continued tbe old man, ia the same calm tones, " I demand immediate satisfaction." . .- ; . " With all my heart," responded Cap tain Fenton, laughing loudly at the ab surdity of the idea. . " Moreover," as you' have been guilty of such ungentlemanly ' conduct." said Mr. Martin, " I insist that my claim shall have preference over all other engsge mecta." . - "Oh, certainly," replied' the Captain, with mock gravity. , To-morrow morn ing, if yon wish it. I am engaged to meet the young fellow in whom you take such a vast amount of interest in ths cor ner of tbe fc'g meadow at eight e'clock. Be there a little before that hour. But don't be late, for I want -to dispose of both affairs and return here in time for breakfast." " - " I shall be punctual," ret a rued tLeolJ gentleman ; and without saying more he left the house. He was as god as his word. At 'half pa.t seven in the morning he was on the ground, atten led by bis second. Captain Fenton soon arrived, and later on the party was joined by the brother of ths deceased subaltern, with whom was one of tbe officers from the barracki It was fearful to behold the wild look which the young man fixed opoq Captain renton. Not once during the prepara tions did bis eyes" wander 'Trom bis brother's slayer. . .While the pistols were being loaded, Mr. Martin's second whis pered to him : ''-' Don't lofe a moment when the signal is given. Aim low ; it is your only chance T" No!" replied tbe old man, Ioadly ; "I shall strike him full in the bead." It is not known whether this speech reached bis opponent's ears and in some measure disconcerted bia. It is believ ed that the steady gait of the young ' tnxn, who' thirsted to avenge bis broth-' ers death, was not without efiect. Cer-1 t tin is it that CapUin Fenton did not take his place with bis customary assur ance. The men were posted. The rest re tired to a suitable distance, tearing the combatants steadily gazing at each other. A atinste of terrible wspense followed, during which brief space the silence of death reigned over the spot. Then the signal was given, and almost inetantanw oadiy the two reports were heard. ; Far a few seconds the smoke prevented the spectators from ascertaining the. resTirt, but as it slowly rose, they saw oM Mr. Mortis standing erect and, rTiraV while Captain Fenton tu stretched full length spon the groan d.

They found the old gentleman bleeding slightly at the neck, bat' be earelafay brushed the blood away ; with ths back cf his hand.

Tbe gambling spirit pervaded tbe wholesale bosinesK in those day. Henry Harley and his Brunswick crowd used to get together about 10 in the morning, and Henry often opened the ball by offering to buy or sell 500. 000 barrels cf oil at a given figure at a certain hour that day. He migM gain or lose as much as f 100,00 on oneofthee offers, and that sort of gambling seemed to satisfy him. Ha fought shy of aide issues. Bat not so the gang. "Nigger up or nigger down" the avenue was their favorite gambling game. It was their own invention. Two of them would sit at a side window and the other three st a window frontingon Fiith avenue. The two one the sHe would bet each other $10, S3), $.jO or $100 s dip, as they felt in clined, that the first colored person pass ing would go up or down the avenue. The three in front wonld be judges snd referee. Pay after day and week after week the gang taxed their ingenuity to get Barley into their game. "Phillip not oae of the brothers, bnt an oil re a a also had lost $iiij6 to West ton one) morning in an oil deal before Hary got to the office. Phillipe felt a Uttie sharp set, snd he set Weston $-300 more that he would get Harley into the 'nigger up or nigger' game before night. Weston took tbe wager. ."On his way down town Harley, who was s pretty close observer, had read in bis morning paper that the colored people of New York were going to celebrate Emancipation Day that day by a grend parade which would form on Union Square and. march, tu Central Pk. n attached no particular importance at the time to the announcement, bnt when he got la his office and Phillips began bad gering him te nigger np, nigger down' at f-JO s bead bis eyes flashed aad, to the astonishment of all the oil men within bearing, and tbe gang in particular, he broke out w ith : "'I've stood this this thing long enough now, and I'm tired of it.

Sew ork : The two moat proi;5e speechmakers in our own lanroaw in these times are Chauncey Mitchell TV pew and William Fwart G'a.lftone. Mr. Depew is-Vi thus old and Mr. Gladstone will be $1 next month. Both of them are strong, full of vim, and in the full ness of their mental powers. Gladstone is a p&r'iantextarian an 1 publicist ; De pew is a lawyer, railroadis and business man. Gladstone Lt a more learned schol ar than Depew, who is a more nimbie witted man thin GUds'one. Gladstone has been a prominent figure for nearly as many years as Depew has lived. In the activity of Depww and Gladstone therw is no sorces.

A correspondent of the London TniiA sends the following : "A few days ago I was standing by an American gentleman when I expressed a wish to know which point was the north. He at once polled oat his watrh, looked at it, and pointed to the north. I asked bim whether he had s compass attached to his watch 'A!! watches are compasses, he replied. Then he explained to me how this was. Point the hcur hand to the sun, and the south is exactly between the Lour and the figure XII. on the watch. For in-sUn.-e, suppose it ia 4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4 to the san, and II. on the watch ia exactly south. Suppose it is 3 o'clock. Point the hand indicating S to the sua, and the fignre X. on the watch is due Siiutn. My American friend was qnite surprised that I did not know this. Thinking that very possibly I was ignorant or a GCr that every one eke knew, and happening to meet Mr. Stan ley. I aikad that eminent traveler whether he was aware of this simple mode of distovering the points of the compass. He said that be had never beard of it. I presume, therefore, that the world is in the same state of ignor ance. AmaiS is proud of having been j the home of the inventor of the coarpass.

She had probably the rrost eventful cruise of ths season, iffering at various times the loss of two cf her crew, the disabling of otriera, aad the tense I itself having barely escaped lievrcctioa twice by being fired andcvt:J. A QinnkU reporter interviewed her commander, CapUin Cook, and tevera! of the sailors yesterday, receiving from them the details of the anuses! chapter of fatalities and adventures which hap pened to the vessel. The John and Winthrop was unfortu nate ia Laving on board several desperate characters, who, to satisfy tr.dicg grudges, attempted to set Sre to the vessel. The attempt was made cn April ? by sailors named Ritchie and Kilborn. The first Intimation of the terrible danger was the sight of hoga fUmes risisg from tLe for ward part cf the b&rk, dangerously cioee to several barrel of oil. Ail hand were smumoned to extinguish the fames, and tha fire wa subd'jed bef ;re it bad ma.'.o any great headway. The con.'pirat. rs were ironed and their ration red'ioru a small punishment for so serious a crime. Later on s sailor named Mc'jregor at tempted to Seattle the ship, but was de tweted by Captain Cook, who allowed him to go free of paaUhmnt at the sol.c itation of the crew. iMricg September, while in Bri.t l Ely, the John and Winthrop l.jt Char.es Coliias an 1 Aatons d Si:na. while the blacks nith, Charles Like, had tr-jh his legs broken.
