A Black Hills Duel.
JBllALL never forgot the nlglit which
closed the tiny that .lack MuCoiuhe
sold the 14 Maid of Erin" nilue on C'ar
Viouate Hill, Leadvllle. The consldera
tiou was J(i3,0t)(). The " Maid of Erin"
was not the only one of Jack's mines,
he was interested in the "Highland
Chief," "California Tunnel," and a
dozen others, and his heart wa9 Just as
lilK ns lilfl purse. He was one of Lead
ville'a first six aldermen, aud made It ft
point to know every man iu the mines,
and a jollier fellow could not be found
from Denver to Baynache pass. Jack
determined that a portion of the pro
ceeds of his sale should be devoted to
his friends aud as a consequence it was a
gala night in the Carbonate camp.
Drinks and cigars were free at Johnny
Shea's Gem saloon, lu Harrison avenue,
aud the programme was to conclude
with the stage box and an unlimited
quantity of champagne at Tom Kemp's
(fraud Central theater, the largest varie
ty house ever erected In the West, or
East either, for that matter. Being "a
newspaper man," as Jack put It, the
party would not be complete without
the writer, so, dropping my work, and
and accompanied by Harry Norton, the
city editor of the Chronicle, I joined
the gay party.
A gay party It was, too. Apart from
the host there were Lieu tenant-Governor
Tabor, Alderman Ed. Kavanagh, Alder
man J. M. Murphy, Alderman Kelly
and half a dozen local majors and
colonels, and one general from the regu
lar army, whose name I cannot recall.
The female members of the theater were
also well represented, It being the cus
tom in that city for the actresses, from
song and dance artists to the leading
lady, to vIslE the boxes and quad' cham
pagne. On that particular night Ida
Corey, of the Corey Bisters, a most fin
ished dancer, flirted with Governor Ta
bor, Maggie LeCIaire, clinked glasses
with Alderman Kavanagh, aud Viola
Wray, Amy Tudor, Frankie liussell,
Lottie Beaumont and Fannie Gnrretson
entertained the company.
Amid all the hilarity Harry Norten
appeared ill at ease. He drank a few
glasses of champagne, and then remov
ed his chair to the corner of the box,
out of the glare of the footlights, and Ut
a cigar.
"What alls you, Harry V" I asked,
" It cannot be possible that you have
the blues to-night V"
" Xo," said he, "but I was just think
ing of a little incldeut which happened
to me four years ago to-night, iu Janua
ry, 187G, in the Black Hills. If you
care to hear it, draw your chair a little
nearer."
Harry's maimer of speaking impress
ed me strangely, for he was seldom com
municative, at all times reticent, and lie
rarely referred to his past life. ' He was
a dashing fellow, about 35 years of age,
aud there was not a thread of silver iu
his raven hair or heavy drooping mous
tache. .He was a native of Buflalo, and
had been connected with the Courier of
that city, had written a half-dozen books
and there was very little of the United
States that he had not thoroughly ex
plored. His full name and title was
Captain Henry J. Norton, the title
having been acquired in the receut Cu
ban revolution.
" This incident, as I am pleased to
term it," he began, "has never been
narrated but once before, aud then It
was poured into the ears of a priest at
the Bt. Charles Hotel, New Orleans,
about eighteen months ago. When I
cross the range and go prospecting iu
God's couutry, you can tell it if you see
lit. Four years ago to night I was iu
Deadwood. I had returned from an ex
pedition up the Yellowstone river and
published a book on my research. Iead
wood was at that day what Leadville is
at the present time all life aud fire, aud
riches and glitter. There were no beg
gars in her streets, and every mail was
the possessor of gold, mining stock or
unlimited credit. I was a guest of the
Dakota House, and passed my nights,
iu the main, at the theaters. Atone of
the theaters a woman whom I had
known in Detroit three years before was
singing ballads. She was too noble a
woman to tread the boards of any fctage,
but, like niauy others, gifted with a
sweet mezzo-soprano voice, she found
on the variety stage an easy avenue to a
livelihood.
She was a woman, every inch, and
was always accompanied by a younger
sister to and from cities and their Michi
gan home. Being an old friend she felt
perfectly at home in my company, and
we were together much of the time.-
No man iu Deadwood, except myself,
would she permit to act as her escort,
and the consequence was that it was not
many weeks uutil I was envied by half
of the men in the camp. On the night
I refer to, after the theaUr, I went
down into tho bar room for the purpose
of taking a drink before retiring.
While pouring out a gluss of whiskey a
stranger walked up and accosted me,
saying:
" You are Mr. Norton,! believe ?"
"I answered hi the aderniallve, and
Invited him to drink. He hesitated for
a moment, and then, calling for a lem
onade with a 'light stick,' asked me to
accompany him out on the street. He
M as a line looking young man, of heavy
build, and wore better clothes than the
average miner. I noted all this from
the fact that he was a stranger who
wished a private conversation with me,
nnd had been so uncivil as not to intro
duce himself. Together we stepped be
yond the doorway, aud then halting, he
said :
"'You are a man and a gentleman,
and I am the same. I love Miss ,
mentioning the name of my actress
friend ; 'and she could- love nie, I am
certain, were it not for you.'
" I raised my hand to strike hltn
down, but the muzzle of a revolver, the
butt of which was clutched in his hand,
deterred me. I stepped back a couple of
paces.
" ' I have thought this matter over,'
he continued, lowering the revolver,
'aud have determined that one of us
must die, I could have shot you down
any night and none would have been
wiser, but I am frank enough to make
you a proposition.'
" But I shall offer no opposition to
your marrying Miss ,' I said hur
riedly. Hhe i9 nothing more than a
dear friend to me. Go ahead and win
her, man," I thought him crazy, and
believe to this moment that lie was not
in his right mind.
" No," said he slowly, aud with deter
mination; 'this world is not large
enough for we two meu. I will kill you
before this. night is done or you will do
me the same favor. You are armed and
shall have an equal chance for your life ;
we will go up the valley a little ways,
and there settle our quarrel like men.
If I kill you none shall ever know
whether tho "cases were right or wrong,"
aud if I fall it will be with no malice
toward you.'
" He took my arm, and we walked up
the street together. It seemed like a
dream to me, and yet there was the man
anxious to murder me, at my side. I
began to grow nettled,and was sufficient
ly reckless before we reached the Bis
marck stage road to have fought hiui
with the Bowie knives had he demand
ed it. Then, too, I was angry at the
free manner in which lie had spoken of
Miss . Up the valley we strode,
something like four hundred paces.
The snow was crisp and hard, the moon
was full and in the clear sky lit up the
surrounding country and the sleeping
city below In a fantastic manner. Two
or three hungry coyotes, which had
ventured down to the outskirts of the
camp, scampered away aud were except
myself and companion the only evidence
of life in the valley. Presently my
strange guide and enemy halted and
said :
" ' You stand here and I will step ten
paces further on.'
" I obeyed his directions.
" He paced of ten strides and, remov
ing his hat, faced me, revolver in hand.
'Hold on!' said I: 'if your mind Is
fully made up to shoot me, at least let
me know your name.'
"'That makes no difference to you,'
said lie. ' It's as good a oue as you can
bonst. Please be ready to flro when I
count to three.'
"I am a clover shot with the pistol,
aud can shoot the spots from a card at
even twenty yards, and felt confident
that no matter how good a shot was my
antagonist," that I could kill him at ten
paces. I drew my derringer aud cocked
it carefully. I was standing with my
back to the moon aud he was a little
above me, and the moon shone full on
his broad brow. He leveled his weapon
nnd began to count. As the fatal words
were tlowly pronounced, I raised my re
volver, and at the word three pressed
the trigger. We fired at the same in
stant, and I felt the wind of his bullet
by my head. He sank to his knees
without a struggle and fell upon his face
in the snow.
" My being in the shadow a little be
low him and the moon's rays falling on
his pistol barrel had, even at so short a
distance disturbed his aim. I walked
forward,turued over the body,still warm,
and looked down into its face. My
bullet had sped true. There was a
small, bluish-looking hole, from which
the blood had not yet sprung, in the
centre of his forehead. If any one
heard the pistol shots, no heed was paid,
aud not wishing to be arrested and
charged with murder, I walked down
the valley over the hard-beaten snow
and returned to my hotel.
After a minutes pause Harry Norton
relighted his cigar, emitted a cloud of
smoke through his nostrils aud con
tinued :
"'The following afternoon I saw
quite a crowd assemblsd at the city un
dertaker's, elbowed my way into the
groupv and asked an acquaintance stand
ing near what caused the commotion.
" 'Some cuss got sick of the camp,
went up the valley last night and coin,
milted suicide. The wolves were hover
ing about, and picked his hones pretty
clean before one of the men from the
"Homestead mine" came down to town
and found him.'
"' He might have been murdered?"
I answered In a questioning tone.
" ' No ; he committed suicide,' was the
reply. ' His revolver was found in the
road, and one chamber had been
emptied. He just got homesick aud
went up there and "called" himself,
and the wolves had a good meal and he
can't be identified. He was not mur
dered, for over $.00 In bills were found
scattered about. 4 .
I walked away 'and shed no light on
the myBtery. In Deadwood, where
people came in and departed by hundreds
every day, mysterious disappearances
were rarely reported. I am in Ignorance
as to the name of the man whom I shot
down' in that strange duel, and though I
remained in the Black Hills for some
time afterward I never paid another
visit to the theater where my lady ac
quaintance was playing. That is all."
Handsome, talented Harry Norton
has fought his last duel and penned his
last leader. He fell into the long sleep
last May, after a day's illness from pneu
monia. Such a funeral as he was accord
ed was never before witnessed in Lead
ville. The four dally papers In the camp
turned their column jules, aud the Pa
cific Coast Association and a baud of
music followed the remains to the second
cemetery that Leadville has filled iu
less than three years. He was buried by
the tide of Charley Vivau, the actor,
and a friend from Colorado Informed
me that a few days ago that iu the
vacant lot adjoining poor Harry's grave,
Just to the left, Texas Jack was laid to
rest last summer.
An Old Rich Firm.
THE Itothschilds have been attract
ing no little attention to themselves
here In Paris by the announcement of
the extention of the act of partnership,
which expired September 30th of this
year, to 1005. The Paris branch of the
famous family is quite large. The dowa.
ger Baroness llothschlld, who lives' in
the family mansion iu the Kue Lallte,
had five children Baroness Alphonse,
who l.s at this date at the head of the
family; Baron Solomon, who died a
long time ago ; Baron Gu3tave, Burou
Edmond and the Baroness Nathaniel
Kothsuhild. The venerable dowager is
a veritable fountain of charity. She
gives away hundreds of thousands of
francs every year. In the summer she
lives iu a splendid country house at Bo
logue, where apartments for each of her
sous and daughters are kept constantly
in order.
Baron and Baroness Alphonse lloths
chlld live lu the old mansion in the Kue
St. Florentine, Where Tallyrand once re
sided. They are gay and are extremely
fond of society, and are seen everywhere
inthemoude; the Baroness is one of
the most accomplished equestriennes
who frequent the Bols de Bologue. Her
husband is an enthusiastic patron of the
turf. He has stables at Meautrif and
Chantilly, and lavishes millions on
them, Solomon Rothschild Was a deli
tate minded man, fond of conversation,
books, pictures and society. His widow
has a daughter who will, it is said, be
the richest heiress in the iris family.
Baron Gustave is the only one who has
married outside of the family.
Oue of the sons of the late Nathaniel
llothschlld has just purchased the splen
did mansion of Count Toistcl, In the
Avenue de Friedlaud; and another
named Arthur spends his life in collect
ing books. It is said that no oue else iu
France, except the Duke de Aumale,
possesses such inestimable treasures of
rare editions and luxurious bindings as
this young llothschlld. Oue, of the
latest additions to the delegates to Paris
of this phenomenally rich family is
Baron Adolphe Rothschild, of Naples,
who lias closed out his business aud re
tired with the serenity of conscience
promoted by the knowledge of the poss
ession of 180,000,000 francs. He may De
seen now and then iu the Bois, lolling
negligently in the blue carriage, which
is one of the peculiarities of the house.
He is a great collector, and will spend
hundreds of thousands of francs upon
any trifle which he happens to consider
he must have. There is but one Catho
lic lu the family, and that is the Duch
ess of Grammont, who, it will be re
membered, was the daughter of Baron
llothschlld of Frankfort on-the-Main,
one of the richest members of the
group.
" Don't Know Hair their Value."
"They cured me of Ague, Biliousness
and Kiduey Complaint, as recomended.
I had a half bottle left which I used for
my two little girls, who the doctors and
neighbors said could no be cured. I
would have lost both of them oue night
if I had not given them Hop Bitters.
They did them so much good I continu
ed their use until they were cured. That
is why I way you do not know half the
value of Hop Bitters, and do not recom
mend them high enough." B., Roches

SUNDAY HEALTHS.
Tact.
In the Youth's Department of the
New York Olwrvcr, we find the follow
ing words of advice addressed to a young
girl, which we commend to nur young
readers :
Never remind your companions of
their personal defects.
Never remind them of their failures.
Never make comparisons. '
Keeping In mind this last rule, you
will, for Instance, never volunteer your
opinion as to who is the prettiest girl in
school.
Be very careful what you say or Inti
mate to your companions in regard to
their looks. If you can say nothing
complimentary, say nothing at all. I
warn you in this matter, because girls of
your age are so deeply interested in the
subject of personal appearance, and are
inclined to talk so much about it.
An old author snys : "every woman
who is not positively ugly thinks herself
handsome;" and a modern observer
that "a girl can forgive being called
wicked or stupid, but she cannot forgive
being called homely."
However this may he, do not run the
risk of giving offence by saying, to A,
who has ft freckled face, "B would be
rather pretty if it were not for her freck
les ;" or to C, who has defective teeth.
"Bad teeth would ruin any one's looks,"
ect., ect. Many persons who are not
quite idiots render themselves extremely
disagreeable by such speeches as these
without the least intention of giving
ofl'ence.
"There is no use in trying to cultivate
tact" a lady once said to me. "Tact is
Is like beauty, a gift from heaven."
Whereupon I glauced at that lady's
dressing table, with its array of lily
white, hair vigor, vaseline, ect., and
thought: "If young ladies took as great
pains to cultivate tact as they do to en
hance beauty, this would be a much
pleasanter world to live in. Beauty is a
very good letter of introduction, but per
fect tact is a joy forever."
Cultivate tact, then, as you would
music. You will never play like Blind
Tom, but there is no reason why you
should not practice the scales.
Blood Money.
We make drunkards by law in the
United States of America. We kill
men, and rob men, and burn out their
brains, soul and manhood, but we do it
legally. The government says to the
manufacturer, " See here, friend you are
ruining the country by this business, I
can't afford it. You are poisoning and
killing off my subjects in a most unmer
ciful manner, for which I get no com
pensation. I don't mean that you shall
quit the business, but I mean that you
shall pay me a certain fixed amount for
the privilege of carrying on your whole
sale murder traffic, or else you will have
to close up and quit the business."
"All right," says the manufacturer,
"fix your price and I'll pay it. It does
not make any difference to me. The
man who buys the w hisky.wili pay the
tax."
And the tax is laid upon the whisky,
and the wines, and the beer ; and every
barrel, and keg, and case of wines aud
liquors has the government brand and
the government permit on it. Death by
law 1 Death by government! Death
by act of Congress ! The city or county
or state steps in and says : "What ore
you going to do with that poison ?"
"Sell it to murder your sons and
daughters." " No you don't ; you can
not poison and kill people in this city
unless you do it by law. You must
have a license or permt of some kind,
which you must pay for, and then you
can ruin all the souls you want to,
provided you do it according to law. So
hand over your money aud then go to
work."
He gets his license, rolls in his hlsky
barrels and beer kegs, paints the lower
sash of the window, puts green wickets
in the door, writes saloon over the en
trance, sticks a cigar in his mouth,
mops off the counter with a wet cloth,
and the agent is ready for business.
CyOneof the most effectual ways of
pleasing and making one's self loved,
is to be cheerful ; joy softens far more
than tears.
t'yTo tell a lie, aud then defend It
with other lies, is like digging a cellar
and making it large enough to hold all '
the diit that is misplaced.
A Wise Deacon.
" Deacon Wilder, I wan't you to tell
me how you kept yourself aud family
well the past season when all the rest of
us have been sick so much, and have
the doctors visiting us so often."
" Brother Taylor, the answer Is ver3'
easy. I use Hop Bitters iu time; keep,
my family well and , save the doctor
biils. Three dollars' worth of it kept us
well and able to work all the time. I'll
warrant it has cost you and the neigh
liors one to two hundred dollars apiece
to keep sick the same time."
' Deueou, I'll use your medicine here
after." 27 t
