‘ 0L0 PUT AS A DUEL‘IST.
Bis Two Remarkable Encounters on the
Field of Honor.
It is perhaps a fact not very generally
known that Gen.'Isracl Putnam. the Old
Put of Revolutionary fame, was the hero
of two “affairs of honor.” '
In those days of frantic Puritanism the
custom of risking one’s life on the duel-
ing ground was regarded as little short
of sacrilegious and held as an offense
against both Church and State.
ever, notwithstanding all this, Old Put
was twice “called out.” '
The first affair grew out of a. difficulty
with a brother Officer, who assumed a.
belligeren attitude and demanded im-
mediate satisfaction. This Putnam at
first refused to give, on the ground that
the services of both belonged to the coun-
try and that it would be unpatriotic, not
to say un-Christian, to risk the loss 'of
two lives except in conflict with the com.
mon enemy. ~ ~ ,
However, as his antagOuist refused to
be pacified, he at last agreed to meet him
“according to usage,” without seconds,
at daylight, in a neighboring field. Put«
nam arrived first on the ground, armed
with an old gun loaded with slugs. A
few minutes later his opponent approach-
ed, carrying a. small sword and two duel-
ing pistols.
When he was about thirty yards away.
Old Put sighted him and let fly his choi-
cest assortment of nails and scrap iron.
The Officer naturally camejt'd a halt and
shouted: .
“What are you doing, sir? Is this the
proper conduct of a man of honor and an
American Officer.”
“What am I about, sir?” returned Put-
nam; “why, I’m defending my life against
a man who is trying to murder me. And
if you don’t get out in less time than it
takes old Heath to hang a Tory you are a.
. gone dogl”
“But, sir, I——”
Bang! went Putnam’s musket again,
and away Went his pugnacious antagon.
ist at a Nancy Hanks rate of speed, but
laughing in spite of all his anger and
mortification.
Putnam’s other affair was with an
English Officer on parole who took offense
at some brisquerie of his and challenged
him. Atime and place was appointed,
but when the Englishman arrived he
found Putnam seated on a powder key,
smoking a pipe with the utmost non-
chalence. He was motioned to a seat by
the Offending Putnam, who calmly re-
marked as he lit a fuse leading into the
bunghole of the keg 'that'the chances of
them both being blown to perdition was
about equal.
This was too much for the ~Britisher,
who made a wild break for the door,
while Put called daisively:
“You’re just as brave as I took you to
be, but you needn’t 'hurry, for there’s
nothing in this keg but onions. I thought
I’d try you with onions first, but you
don’t like the smell, ha, ha, you don’t
like the smell!”
But the punctilious Englishman had
gentecly retired—\Vashington Post.
Sings and‘ Dances at 105'.
There'lives at 1,135 Vine street, Phila-
delphia, an old Italian woman who might
prove interesting to those of her fellow
citizens who are interested in the pre-
vailing Napoleonic craze. Mrs. Celestina
Nigro, who claims to have attained the
‘_great age of 105 years, retains a vivid
recollection of the Napoleonic wars, and
tells innumerable anecdotes of several
battles which took place near her birth-
place, Campagna, State of Salerno, Italy. ,
The old woman has been in this country
only six years, having taken the journey
across the ocean when nearly 100 years
old.
She was at first denied permission to
land on account of her great age, but
she finally passed through the gates of
Castle Garden. She has living in Amer-
ica and Italy twenty-one grandchildren
and twenty-five great grandchildren.
She sings and dances with a vigor and
abandon that might well excite the envy
of a younger woman. .
