THE PAINTER'S REVENGE.
After the result of the election of 1844 was
determined, and the defeat of Henry Clay was
known, I started fora four years' tom• through
the cities and countries of the old world.
Feelings I entertained for Clay amounted to
more than love, respect and admiration ; his
defeat did not increase their ardor, but it did
cause me to think my countrymen guilty of
culpable ingratitude, and incapable of select
ing the proper men to till the high offices in
their gift. My disappointment was so great
that it caused me to decide upon self-banish
ment for the years I have named. I . do not
propose in this sketch to give further account
of my travels than may be necessary in nar
rating as much as I know concerning the cir
cumstances and incidents which go' to make
up the sum of my story. I had paid my bill
at the Astor House, and attended to all neces
sary preparations for a voyage across the At
lantic, and was about stepping into a carriage
in waiting for tae, when I was tapped on the
shoulders by Senator Benton, of Missouri, who
'introduced me to a young gentleman—whom
I will call Crawton, who, he said, was going
to Home to study the old masters, and acquire
an extensive knowledge and practice in his
profession. Mr. Benton remarked to me that
the youthful artist was "one among ten thou
sand" ; that he was talented, brave, and just ;
a little reserved, but brimful of goodness and
gratitude. "Be a good' friend to him," said
Benton, "and you will never have cause to
regret it." I certainly never looked upon a
more noble countenance or a more symmetri
cal and perfect form. A single glance at the
youth would impress the observing • mind of
the presence of a superior person, and incline
one to consider the close relationship of man
kind with the gods.
In a few hours we were on board a steamer
voyaging as fast as steam and favorable winds
could drive us for Southampton. Day by day
I became more interested in and attached to
the young artist. Arrived in London, we
found the weather extremely fine, and we
concluded to remain there and "do" the city
as long as It afforded us comfort and enjoy,
meat. I had visited London several times in
my life, lind found, the more I learned of the
great city, and the better I became acquainted
ith Englishmen and Englishwomen, the
more rapidly the prejudice gave way to ad
miration and respect.
We spent seven weeks in the great city
most agreeably ; and we might have stayed
longer but for a circumstance which caused
us to proceed at once for Paris, and which,
also, constitutes the beginning of a chain of
circumstances which blasted the life of a noble
youth, and furnished the material for this
story.
Our evenings while in London were gener
ally spent at the opera. Crawton, like moat
artists, was passionately fond of music, and
would sit for hours like one enchanted when
listening to the master productions of Duni
zetti, Rossiuni, Mozart, and other celebrated
composers. On the night previous to our de•
parture from London, we were listening in
tently to Artina mi rommentati in the "Bo
hemian Girl." Crawton was charmed and
seemed unconscious of all around him save
the sweet cadence of music and song, until a
young man approached, leaned over him, and
whispered a word in his ear which brought
hint suddenly to his feet. They were friends,
and had been from early youth. Craw ton
had often spoken of the • youug man, nod also
another equally dear to him, who, he was that
night quickly informed, iv as at Paris, dying
of a wound received in a duel. Dalton—that
was the name of the young intruder upon our
musical entertainment—had hurried to Lon
don by request of the dying man to procure
important papers which required the signature
of the unfortunate youth, hi order to place his
widowed mother in possession of property
without which ebe would have been left des-
titute. By good fortune, Dalton had stopped
at the sane hotel where we were staying, and
learned of Crawton's being in London, and
that we could be found at the opera. I con
sented to leave the opera with them immedi
ately. - ving at our hotel, it was nt once
decided that the trio should start the fol
lowing morning for Paris.
Before entering the room in which the
wounded youth was lying, a surgeon at the
door informed us that we must proceed at
once to transact any business of Importance to
his friend, We acted strictly by the advice
given us by the surgeon, anti in twenty min
utes thereafter the papers were signed and ac
knowledged, and all business affairs adjusted,
and placed in the trust and management of
Dalton.
"Crawton," said the dying youth, '" I have
been murdered ; Dalton has a mission to per
form for me ; my good mother and her future
weal in'this life I have trusted to his care ; he
will do for her all her son would have done
had he not been murdoled. Dear, dear Craw
ton," continued .the dying youth, "if you
ever fight a duel in France, never use the
sword—the pistol, Crawton l Americans
know better bow to use the pistol."
The scene which followed was a sad, very
sad one, indeed. The bands of the dying
youth were clasped by those of his friends,
who leaned Over him In turn, and kissed the
fevered lips through which a brave and noble
spirit was escaping.
"Good by, mother; God bless you ; good
by, friends, God bless you ; the ferryman is
here, and I 'must go ; good by," muttered the
youth; and dropped into death as falls the fresh
and blooming flower cut from its stem.
nuffith's search for the duellist brought no
tidings of Mons. D. Shatturn further than that
he had left Paris the day following the duel.
The duel and its fatal consequences wrought
a great change in Crawton. I hail learned to
love him very dearly. My affection amounted
to a ceaseless infatuation ; my fortune was
then, and is now, very large. My parents and
only sister had passed from earth, and left me,
as far as relatives were concerned, affine in
the world. Aside from Henry Clay and young
Craw ton, I had no love for any mortal. Re
spect and friendship I of course had for many
acquaintances of both sexes. Large as my
fortune was I felt that I could part with it ell
for Crawton's sake.
Crawton's situation, in some respects, was
like any own ; he had no family kin living ex
cept very distant relatives, with whom he was
entirely unacquainted. He was not rich, but
possessed means sufficient to insure him com
petence through life. The deep feelings I en
tertained for him were sincerely returned. I
possessed the affections of his noble heart, and
that knowledge afforded me as much satisfac
tion and happiness as any bachelor has a right
to expect on earth.
Crawtlin accepted my proposition for him
to accompany me in any travels—in fact we
agreed to mingle our fortunes and remain
together until separated by a decree of death.
lie had accomplished a great deal in his chosen
profession. lie certainly possessed great tal
ent and skill and genius and originality of no
mean order, but the death of his friend seemed
to have blasted his ambition for fame. The
only picture • tic painted after the fatal duel
was a copy of a portrait of Mons. De Shatturn ;
and his frequent study of that picture, together
with theifatal suspension of work, caused me
about the only concern • and unhappiness I
ever experienced in his company.
Crawton had the body of his frknd em
balmed and sent to America for burial, after
which we quitted Paris; and pursued our
travels.
For two years we kept constantly on the
move, visiting all the noted places of the old
world, and perhaps no two travelers ever ac.
complished so much in the way of sight-seeing
in the same length of time.
At last we returned to Paris. Mons. de
Shattura had preceded us at many of the
places visited by us. We were " off his heels"
at Ifome ; we heard of him at Milan, at Padua,
and at Venice ; and also at Jerusalem, both
at Jerusalem and Damascus, and other places.
I made no inquiry concerning the man ; with
me the duel was a matter ns much to be for-
gotten as its result was to'be deplored. It
has always been a part of my philosophy to
banish from my mind the recollection of mis
fortunes for which there existed no remedy.
It did not occur to my mind that Crawton was
engaged in a determined and untiring search
r itions. Dc Sliatturn until after our return
to Paris. lie had studiously avoided all
reference to the duel, and only mentioned the
name of Mons. De Shatlurn to say that "he
has been here," in places the duellist had
visited previous to our arrival.
On the evening of the tenth day after our
arrival at Paris, we attended the opera. I
had gone there much against my desire, as
the "Bohemian Girl" suggested rather un
pleasant recollections. Two years before we

felt a strange apprehension that something de
plorable was going to happen. I any not all
inclined to superstition, and have no recollec
tion of having had such feelings before in my
life. I naturally paid more attention to Craw-
ton than to the music of the opera ; in fact, I
w•as in no frame of mind to enjoy the best o
music. With the exception of an almost im-
perceptible pallor, the countenance of Craw
ton wore its usual calm, beautiful and impres
sive expresson, until D' Arlena Rammentati
was being sung, when I perceived his big
tears dropping from his eyes and trickling
down his cheeks, which lie made no effort to
conceal or to brush away. Ile seemed to be
unconscious that his eyes were exposing the
fullness of his heart. Before the song was
ended, a slight commotion in one of the pri-
vale boxes attracted our attention. Crawton
seemed to be suddenly startled ; and grasping
his opera-glass, lie levelled it upon the group
in the private box, and gazed steadily at
,the
ladies and gentlemen seated therein. Then,
handing me the glass, he remark( d
"There is Mons. De Shatturn ; watch him
for a moment ; I will soon return to you."
So saying, he arose and left the theatre. I
began to suspect that Craw ton meant mischief,
alma regretted I had allowed. him to depart.
1 became very uneasy ; still I kept my glass
fixed upon Mons. De Shatturn. There could
be no mistake. Just as I was wondering how
it could be poSsible for Crawton to paint so
perfect a likeness or the man, he appeared at
the box, and by the side of Mons. Dc Shut
turn. I saw him address the Frenchman.
The ladies stared at him as an intruder
After the two men had exchanged a few
words, I saw Crawtoti slap Mons. De Shatturn
in the face, hand him his card, bow to the
ladies, and leave the box.
He soon returned to his seat, and sat calmly
and patiently to the end of the opera.
I never before experienced such deep feel
ings of concern and regret. We proceeded
in silence to our hotel—both of us seeming to
understand each other's feelings, Words in
such a crisis were useless. The'honor of my
friend would not permit any effoit to avert a
collision between him and sorely offended Dc
Shatturn ; and my deep affection prevented
any desire, inclination, or power on my part,
to aid and abet in the matter. I knelt that
night,and prayed that the threatening calamity
might pass away, An appeal to Heaven
seemed to me the only one that I could make.
The morning came, bringing with it a fierce
challenge from Mons. De Shatturn which
Crawton immediately accepted. Being the
challenged party, CraWtoir wrote out the man
ner, time, and place of the encounter, which
in substance was IQo'clock p. in., in the Old
Mord Hall, in the Rue de Itivon ; naked ; in
the Mirk, and armed with the American bowie
knife. They were to meet and fight until one
or both were killed.
Mons. De Shatturn was surprised at the
terms of the duel, and considered that the
conditions proposed by Crawton could only
ethanate from an insane mind. He at once
sent a friend—an eminent French physician,
familiar with the eccentricities of madmen—
to confer with C'rnwton, and report 'upon his
sanity.
Mons. Dc Shatturn was again astonished on
being informed that Crawton was not only
perfectlY'sane, but that he was besides% re
fined and accomplished gentleman, and withal
most serious and determined as to the terms
he bad decided upon.
The physician informed Mona. De Shatturn
that Craw ton was thoroughly conversant with
his career; that he knew hint to be a cruel
and unfeeling duellist and murderer, who had
per force of superior skill slain eleven young
men, and severely wounded as many more ;
that he was familiar with the particulars of
every duel fought by De Shatturn, both as to
the cause 'and result ; in every instance De
Shatturn had either wantonly offended or pre
sumed offence, when none was really intended
or given ; lie had on every occasion magnified
and pressed matters to desperate results for
no other apparent reason than to satiate a bru
tal mania for blood and murder.
Being the best shot and the most skillful
swordsman in France, and fortified with that
confidence and assurance which makes the,
coward cruelly desperate, he had always met
his antagonist with all the advantage in his
own favor. Craw ton thirsted for the heart's
blood of Mons. De Shatturn, and determined
to brand the celebrated duellist throughout
France as a coward should lie refuse to fight
him in the manner stated.
Mons. De Shatturn hadiso often been suc
cessful, he considered that chance and good
fortune would not forsake him In au encoun
ter wherein his skill Would avail hint little or
nothing ; therefore the proposed terms were
accepted with one exception, the time. Shat
turn requested to be allowed
,to make proper
business arrangements in case the facts should
go against him.
I entered the room in which the duel was
to be fought ; it was eighteen by twenty-four
feet in size, with high ceiling and polished
floor ; the walls were hard and sombre-col
ored ; there were no windows. The door we
entered was the only ingress or escape from
the dark and gloomy hall. I say escape,
for that is the only impulse one could feel en
tering the placC. The door closed and the
darkness because so intense that it could
almost be felt.
The clock struck one as I embraced Craw
ton, bade him gocia:bye, closed the door and
left him shut up in that midnight vault,
crouching and groping, and gliding about as,
noiseless as the velvet-footed - tiger, creeping
with twitching muscles, charged with .a des
perate and savage spring to grapple for his
prey.

equally silent. Cold chills ran through my.

almost useless, and a great leek had shown
itself, threatening to fill the ship. The crew

were practical seamen of the first class ; but

I'ATS AND LAWYERS
A LONG PULL, AND A STRONG PULL, AND A
PULL ALL TOGETHER
Two Arkansas lawyers were domesticated
n the rude hotel of a country town. The
tote) was crowded, and the room slotted to
our two heroes was also occupied by six or
eight others. Shake-down beds enough to
accommodate the guests were disposed about
the room, against the four walls, leaving an
open space in the centre of the apartment.
Judge Clark lay with his head to the North,
on one side, and Judge Thomas lay with his
head to the south, on the other side of the
room. So far as that room was concerned, it
might be said that their heads represented the
North and South poles, respectively.
All the other beds in the room were occu
pied. The central part of the room was
deemed neutral ground, in which the occu-
pants of the different beds had equal rights.
Here, in the picturesque confusion, lay the
boots, bats, coats and breeches of the sleepers.
There were no windows ; and though the
door was open, there being no moon, the
night was very dark in that room.
The witty lawyers who had been opposing
counsel in a case tried in the town court that
day, and had opposed each other with the
contumacity of wild pigs, were now the very
incarnation of meekness, for when the hungry
swarm of mosquitoes settled down and bit
them on one cheek, they slowly turned the
other to be bitten also.
But hush I hark I
A deep sound strikes the ear like a rising

Judges Clark and Thomas were wide awake,
and sitting bold upright in an instant.
Again the startling cry !
" Ye-ow, Ye-ow !"
" There's a d—d cat !" whispered Clark.
" Scat, you!" hissed Thomas.
Cat paid no attention to these demonstra
tions, but gave vent to another yowl.
" Oh, Lord !" cried Clark, " I can't stand
this I Where is she, Thomas

replied Thomas.
‘. No, she's on your side . ," said (lark.
" Ye-wo-ow-mr !"
"There, I told you she was on your side,
they both exclaimed it( a breath.
And still the "yowl" went on.
The idea 'now entered the heads of both ,
lawyers, that by the exercise of certain strat
egy they might be enabled to execute a cer
tain flank movement on the cat,' and totally
demoralize hint. Practically each determined
to tile "a motion to quash" the cat's attach
ment for that room.
Each kept his plan to himself, and in the
dark, unable to see each other, prepared for
action.
Strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless
true, that the same plan suggested itself to
both, in words the plan would be about as
follows :
The yowler is evidently looking and calling
for another cat, with whom he has made au
appointment. I will imitate a cat, and this
cat will think Collier cat's around. This cut
shall come toward me, and when he shall have
arrived within reach, I'll blaze away with
anything I can get hold of, and knock the
mew-sic out of him.
To earls of the portly judges, noiselessly as
cream comes to the surface of the milk, hoisted
himself upon his hands and knees, and, hip
popotamus fashion advanced to the neutral
ground occupying the central portion of the
room.
Arriving there, Judge Clark selected a boot -
jack and Judge Thomas a heavy cow-hide
boot, from the heap, and settled themselves
down to the work.
Clark tightened the grip on the boot-jack,
and throwing up hie head, gave vent to a pro
longed and unearthly "Ye-ow-ow I" that
would have reflected credit upon ten of the
largest sired cats.
"Alfa," thought Thomas, who was not 811
feet away, "he's immediately close around.
Now I'll inveigle him I'.' and he gave the reg..
idar night call of a feminine cat.
Each of the .judges now aditiase4 a little
closer, and Clark produced a queationing
" Ow I Ow I"
Thomas answered by a.very assuring "yur,
.ow I purow I" and then they advanced a little'.
more.
They were now within easy reach, and
each imagining the cat had but a moment
mere to live, whaled away, the one with his
boot, the other with his boot-jack.
The boot took Clark square in the mouth,
demolishing his teeth, and the boot-jack came
down on Thomas's bald head just as he was
in the midst of a triumphant " Yeow l"
When the lights were brought the cat had
disappeared,. but the catastrophe was in the
opposite corners of the rooms, with heels in

WILLIAM HAVERLY
It was surprising to see all those men how
before the strong will of their captain, and
hurry back to the pumps.
The captain then started below to exatuias
the leak. As he passed We, I asked him if
there was any hope. He looked at me, then
at the other passengers, who had crowded up
to hear the reply,.and said, rebnkingiy 4
" Yes, sir, there Is hope as long as one finds
of this deck remains above water. When I
ace none of it, then I shall abandon the vet•
eel, and not before, nor one of my crew, sir.
Everything shall be done to save it, and if
we fail it will not be from inaction. Bear a
band, every one of you, at the pumps."
Thrice during that day did we despair ; but
the captain's dauntless courage, perseverance
and powerful will mastered every mind on
board, and we went to work again.
" I will land you safely at the dock in Lis ,
erpool," said he, "If you will be men."
And he did land ua safely ; but the vessel
sunk moored to the dock. The captain stood
on the deck .of the sinking vessel, receiving
the thanks and the .blesakoge of the passengers
as they passed down the gang-plank. I was
the last to leave. As I passed, he grasped my
hand and said :

I told him that I was not aware that I ever
saw him until I stepped aboard his 'hip,
