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.''

for by the fact that the captain was of a

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

in tbe corner of a meadow, half a nane

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

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

certainly not of surhcient importance to

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

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

Both Uie seconds hastened - towards

They found the old gentleman bleeding
slightly at the neck, bat' be earelafay

The oddst "betting I ever heard of,"
said one oi! broker to another in the Hoff
man House, the other day, savs the New
York W.-.f, "wm between Henry Har
ley, wbo first conceived the idea cf a tide
wU-r pipe line from the oil regions, and
the oil operators wbo used to make their
headquarters early in the seventies in
Uariey's offices. 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

broke out w ith :
"'I've stood this this thing long enough
now, and I'm tired of it. I'll bet yon an
even hundred each that more negroes
go up thaa down to-day,'
"So the judges and the referee went to
their windows and Harley went about
bis business as if nothing out of the way
bad hrpened or could happen.
. "By 11 o'clock S70 colored people men
women and children had gone down
Fsfth arenae in plain sight of the ju-!ges
and not a aiagle one had gone np. Phil
lips naturatiy felt a little 'sA op' ain he

In a basket of wine. Harley ke pi np an
imperturbable front. He was secretly
astonished, inasmuch as the matter had
gone just the opposite of what be believ
ed he had a right to expect they would
go. It didn't occur to him that Uie 870
people were goirg down to where the
parade was to form.
v"At 1 o'clock he return? 1. He had
hardly got his head inside the door when
a wild taximric strain was heard peaiicg
ap tbe avenue, and in s moment a gor
geous sable drum major broke into view,
at the head of a splendid negro band.
Every neck was craned out to see what
bad broke loose, but Harley, w ho felt
that his time was coming at lait, kept
his own ounsel. Before 5 o'clock that
day $,000 cok-red people aiarehed paee J
the office windows in tbe Brunswick

A Compass in the Watch.
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

whether he was aware of this simple

Whaling Adventures.
Among the whaling arrivals yestuday
was the Paciflc steam whaler John and
Winthrop. 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

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

him to go free of paaUhmnt at the sol.c
