A Yankee Duel. '
Grace Greenwood, in the, - Independent,
tells the following story of a duel, which she
in this State:
Lebanon, during its, occupancy by the
French toops. Some of the Due de Lauzun'l
aristocratic young subalterns, not imitating
the amom'tc and modesty of the chief, were
disposed to be rather supercilious, and to
put on airs, toward the young people of the
town, when admitted to their informal par-
ties and merry makings. In this way a gay-
and handsome young captain gained an un-
to grief. At-a rural ball, to'r'whieh he had
managed to gain admittance, his roving
fancy was caught by a rustic beauty, a mer-
' rylittle coquette, who, not having “a soul
above buttons,” was not ill-pleased with his
ardent glances and gallant, broken English,
and who was immensely amused by mark-
ing the eflect produced by his devotion on
the countenance and demeanor of a certain
stalwart young farmer profit, and lower-
ing darkly in the back-ground, to whom, if
the truth must he told, this naughty little
maid was'bethrothed. , At last the dashing
soldier grew 8 little too bold and emprwc in
his attentions. The lady became slightly
alarmed, and her lover‘iluite furious. He
strode up to the Frenchman, with his eyes
blazing and his hands clenched, but addrou-_
ed him in a Cool, steady tone, thus: “Look
here, Monseer, you French fellows come to
America to fight, not to make love! So
none of your fiattering’, and palaverin’, and
parlez-vousin’ about here. This young wo-
man belongs to me; and you may jest make
yourself scarce, double-quick time.”
. ' The young woman in question turned very
white, Homfeur 100042!an turned very red; ‘
but, seeing that his Yankee rival looked
very black,andwasrsltogether an ugly cus-
tomer to deal with on the spot, he merely
said, very significantly: “ Monsieur, have
racism. OMainhnent we come to Amerique
to fight." Then, bowing low to the lady, he
strode baughtily away,
“With his sword cling clank."
The next morning, an elderly French officer
who had grown grim and gray in the service
yet had been engaged, as principal or second
in more duels than battles, waited on the
the young farmer, whom he found in his
barn, threshing, and presented a Cartel. The
farmer laying down his flail, very deh'berate-
1y opened the note, and tried to spell out its
contents; but, as it was in French, bwas
obliged to get the Frenchman to interpret it.
Somewhat to the surprise of that officer, who
Was eager for some agreegbleevent-tobreak
the monotony afa‘long winter encampment,
be readily consented to a meeting. The
second then reminded him that he, as the
challenged party, was entitled to the choice
'of weapons. ‘
“I don’t care a' button what he fights me
with. I’m ready for him,” said the Yankee,
ratherevasively, wiping the sweat and dust
off his .forhea'd with a blue cotton handker-
chief. - ,
Ah! den, we prefer do rapier, what you
ing with overwhelming politeness.
“Ohl yis, as well as anything-small
awards or horse-pistols; I ain’t particular,
replied the former, coolly. Then the time.
and place were 'agreed upon. The French-
man bowed hifilself out ofthebarn as out of
the presence of royalty, the farmer took up
his hall and went on with his threshing—
thump, thump, thump.
Both parties came punctually to the duel-
ingground, over in the wood, very early on a
mild spring morning ; the captain in undress
uniform with the old major, his fault», bear-
ing a. brace of small words; the surgeon of
the Legion with his ominous case of instru-
ments, his lint and bandages; then the farin~
er in yet more undress uniform-‘4. e., red
flannel shirt and gray homespun now-era,
tucked into cowhide boots, his “hired men"
for his second, and for hisweapon the good
hickory fiail he had been swinging the day
before i , - . , .
Great was the astonishment, and volt-ibis.
the indignation of the; Frenchmen, ,‘wlen
finally made to understand that tho'rliatic
really intended to fight the duel with-this
ugly rural implement.‘ But he sturdin stood
his ground. . ’ , '
“I don’t know anything about your toast-
in’-irons,” he said; “but I do understand a
dull, and I’ve just made up my mind to fight
this here duel with a flail. - So, Monseer,be-
,gin lungin’ and pokin at me just as quick-as
you please." > , '
. The perplexed captain then dropped down
to a' little friendly romeo-trance, saying
very blan'dly, “Pardon, Monster, you know
not de duel. ‘ Permit me to recombiend de
small sword. .I lent himjwis do most great
piaah'er, Monsieur. You no take him? you
fight- wis dat 'tingi See you! I cut win my
raptors dat leetle cordon dathold de two part
togedder,-tout do quite; and den where will
yoube,eh?” ‘ . j _ - .0
The farmer laughed carelessly, and a little
tauntingly, as he replied, “Never. mind, me,
Cap’enfi I’m obleegedf to you. I can look
out for myself, I guess. Keep your extra
small sword to spit your flags on. I’ll stick
to my flail. And now let’s to work! I’m in

So they took their‘pdsitions. Q '
\" “One! two! three!" at it they went!" The
Frenchman. made a magnificent stroke,
aimed at the weak point in his adversary’s
weapon ;‘ but missed, and fell backfor’ a new
demonstration. .Then the Yankee, giving I

not killed, but severely bruised and some-
what atunned. For some minutes the farm-

watching the miustrations of the surgeon;

time," and declared himself satisfied (“Mon

good-morning, and strode from the field, fol-

air of“Yankee Doodle."

March Term, A. D. 1869. ,
State vs. Lorenzo Jones. This is the no-
torious case from Westport. The quarrel
between Mr. S. H. Alden, Who purchased
the Winslow estate, and Lorenzo Jones, his
coachman, on Christmas eve, last,vis the.
cause of thterosecution. Jones is charged
with lst, an assault with attempt to murder
S. H. Alden; 2d. an assault with attempt to
kill him'; 3d, an assault ' and battery, or
breach of thepeace. .The trial cemmeneed
on the 12th, and terminated at the 170. of
Marcb,,with"a.verdict of nots‘guilty on the
first and ascend count-Judo!" guilty on the
third The Judge sentenced Jones to $10
fine and six months imprisonment in the
County J oil. The case was stubbornly con-
tested, 'andala'rge number of people from
Westport and other towns were attracted to
the Court Heuse to hear the case. The
prisoner is every intelligent colored man.
He has been a body servant of Gen. Phil.
Kearney, and was with him on the fatal
field of Chantilly when the gallant Kearney
lost his life. He had also been 'a favorite
servant of some of the most resp
families in New York. Mr. Alden had
made the statement that he would give from
one to twenty thousand dollars to secure his
conviction, and the State made the most
strenuous efi'orts to succeed. The main
point of difi‘erenca related to the shooting,
(who shot i) and it is it fair inference from
the verdict, that Jones did not do the shoot-
ing. The counsel for the State was White
& Sumner, and on the side of the prisoner,
Samford & Thompson.

w A traveller just from the end of the
Pacific Railroad track relates this little in-
cident which he witnessed in the train while
an ‘ route : The conductor approached a
rough-looking customer who was making
himself very comfortable in one of the seats
and informed him that he wanted the fare.
“The h'——ll you do !” was the reply, and the
scaly looking passenger faced the ofiicer of
the road with a fierce look. The latter,
nothingdaunted, still insisted on seeing a
ticket or a “pass.” The fellow replied that
he would show his “pass,” and immediately
produced a revolver and levelled it on the
collector of tickets. At this moment anoth-
er huge rough-looking fellow, who had wit-
nessed the proceedings, coolly pulled out a
“nav.y,”and placing it to the head of the be]-
ligerent passenger, deliberately informed
him that he must “shell out” ' his railroad
fare or have a bullet through his brain. The
latter dropped his pistol (the conductor pick-
ed it up,) pulled out his wallet, and forked
over the requisitesmount of money. The
railroad ofilcial received the stamps, count.
ed them, handed back the revolver, and bow-
ing politely, passed on ; while the belliger-
ent individual threw him self hack in his seat
and Commenced whistling “The girl I left
behind me,” beating time with‘his fingers on
the seat in front. The people out that way
have their “little peculiarities.”

what I wanted in one-of the turrets of the

the janitor, who accompanied the in my ex-

on the opposite side of the hall and invited
me to enter. I found myself in what was
evidently an artist’s studio, but every object
in it bore indubitable signs of unthrift and .
neglect. The statuettes, busts and models
of various kinds were covered with dust
and - cobwebs; dusty canvasses were faced.

scraps of paperlittered the floor The only
signs of indus consisted of a few master-
] crayon drawmgs and little luscious stu-
’ ies of color pinned to thewhll. ,
“You will have an artist for your neigh-
bor,” said the janitor, “though hais not here
much of late; he seems to be getting rather
shimess :- he is wasting his v- time overcome

from Lewiston, Maine :— .
Winter weather is in order here, but not
in season. Sleighs outside and velocipedes
inside is the rule. Snow in the streets is
fully three feet deep. Street crossings are
made by cutting steps from the sidewalk on
each side. But despite the snow and col
most kinds of business are decidedly active.
Never since the war have I seen better evi-
dences of prosperity than are everywhere
manifest. In all the manufacturing places I
have been-in since leaving Hartford help is
wanted. In Lynn the shoe trade was never
better. Little signs “Men wanted,” “Girls
wanted,” meet your eye on most of the fac-
tories; and the some is the casein Salem,
Newburyport, Portsmouth, Portland, Bid-

following directions to beginners :—
Having writtenenoogh to show that our

appearance on the streets, let me 've a few
words of counsel to those who tend to
learn this new mode of equestrianism. By
all means begin practising early in the mor-
ning, when mesh is invigorating, and the
physical man is not tormented with undi-
gested ,food. Choose, if possible, a period
when nobody. is near. to witness your fie-
quent failures, and hear _'your objugatory
remarks thereon. Haveconfidence in your-
self, but don’t be rash. Otherwise you are
Do not needlessly expend your strength;
Skill, not force, is required. At first it will
seem rash, almost chimercial, that one can
trust one-self on the back of a mechanical
horse and maintain one’s equilibrium, sup- ‘
ported on so narrowa base. But aftera
little practice it will be found that the nag
never refuses its favors to anybody. To
keep the poise easily great speed is necessa-
ry. But to 0 fast or slow the rider must
first master t e knack of balancing himself.
How is this to be done ? Expert velocipe-
(lists spring upon the machine giving it a
violent 'push, which. starts. it forward, and
their feet afterward keep up the motion.
Those less practised keep tothe old method
'of velocipcding, that is, if their legs are suf-
ficiently long. They start out 'by placing
the feet upon the ground, and it is only
when proper rapidity is attained and their
seat is 3 care that they use the treadles.

little without the aid of a teacher. By all
means take lessons. ,Only an excellent

one worthy of the name. It is a blooded

Speed is obtained. by merely accellerating
this movement. Afler a two hours’ prac-

distance of from thirty to forty yards with-
out running the risk of an upset. Should
the machine incline to one side, a that'is
necessary to be done is ‘to remove e foot
on the same side from the pedal and place
it on the ground. To alight, both'feet are
raised simultaneously from the treadles,
which has the effect of retarding the ma-
chine. The feet are then placed on the
ground at the same moment, the tiller being
still held firmly by both hands.

TmsrLAN'mve MOUNTAIN Pane—Prof.
Gunning delivered a lecture in. Hartford,
Connecticut, on the last glacial period during
which he statedthat hehad seen in Stamford,
Vermont, amountain of granite as peculiar
as that of Superior, but .of different type.
The crystals were foliated. Science can find
that granite at home only in Stamford. The
mountain is a truncated cone. The top has
been clipped ofi‘. North of the mountain
there was not a single boulder of foliated
granite. South of the mountain there were
multitudes of such. boulders. Perched on the
very top of Hoosac Mountain the tourist may
see a boulder about seventy feet in circum-
ference and fifteen feet high. If he looks at
the boulder then at the mountain, he will
see that the boulder has no kinship with the
mountain. The boulder is that same Stam-
ford g'l'anite—a Vermont . carpet bugger
ensconced on one of the highest peaks of
Massachusetts. The tourist me look south-
westward over Deerfield Va e ., thirteen
hundred feet deep, and see for in [the distance
the outlines of Stamford Mountain, from
whose top that boulder was torn.
