' ' •*--Edgar A. Poe. : ' I, * fc:. RUMORS OF THE FIELD. In 1819 two young gentlemen of Lis­ bon (sons of shop keepers of that city) quarreled over a girl, and soon afterward met on the quay, each armed with a musket, which they fired by the signal of a boy beating a drum, at thirty yards distance. One of them was shot in the head and fell as if dead and the other absconded. The former returned to his father's house, bound up his wounds, recovered, and married the fair, object of the eccentric strife. In 1793 the Prussian officers of the garrison of Coberg established an eco­ nomical mess, of which certain poor emigrants were glad to partake; and one day they observed present an old major of Hussars, who wiw covered with the gears of woundB received iu the seven year's war. A conversation quickly com­ menced, and soon turned ou duels. "And you, major, how many duels have you fought?" asked a youLg, stout built cornet of the war-worn hero, viciously. "None, thank Heaven!" replied the vet­ eran, in a subdued voice, "I have four­ teen wouuds, and, heaven lie praised, none are in my back. 8o I may be per­ mitted to say that I feel myself happy in never having fought a duel." "But you shall fight one with me," exclaimed the cornet, reaching across the table at Vliich the party were sitting to give the scar-honored guest a blow. The lat­ ter, greatly agitated, grasped the table to assist him in rising, when an unani­ mous cry was raised of "Stchen sic rhuic, herr major?" (Don't stir, major?) And as quick as it was possible for such an act to l>e executed, all of the officers present sprang to their feet, and seizing the insulting scamp by the collar of his coat and the seat of his trowsers, they threw the offender out of the window, and then sat down at the table as if nothing tin usual had occured. , • On the 13th of August, 1778, General Howe, who had saved Georgia from the Invasion of Prevost's troops, but who was Bubsequently driven out of the state by Colonel Campbell, of the British army •was severely criticized by Christopher Gadsden, of South Carolina; and a duel was the consequence, in which Howe's bullet, grazed Gadsden's ear. The sec- -onds (Charles Coteswortli for Howe, and Bernard Elliot for Gadsden) then inter­ fered, further hostilities were prevented, and the combatants became warm friends. Major Andre, who was then iu Georgia, penned a humorous poetical discription of the affair, the following being the concluding verses: "Such honor did t hey both display They highly were commended; And unis, in short, this gallant fray, Without mischance was ended. "No l'resh dispute, we may suppose^ Will e'er by them bo started; And now the chiefs, no longer foes,, Shook hunds. and then they partgdv" When Edward Tliurlow, Lord Chan­ cellor of Great Britain, was on his way JTlo the field to fight, Andrew Stewart, in 1769, he stopped at a tavern near Hyde Park and ate an enormous breakfast. --The parties exchanged shots without ef­ fect; and Stewart, while talking over the affair some time afterward, said that "Thnrlow stood up before me like an elephant." Walpole, in his discription of the meeting between his uncle, Horace Wal­ pole, and William Chetwynd, in a letter * to Horace Mann, in 1843, wrote that the former had fought a duel, and "had Scratched a scratch three inches long on the side of the enemy." The cause of the duel was on account of a heated de­ bate in the house of commons, at the Conclusion of which Walpole stepped up to Chetwynd and wrung his nose. The meeting took place in Hyde Park. A French officer at Cambrai, just after Waterloo, while smarting over the result, insulted an English officer; who, in turn, challenged the Frenchman, and was killed. Upon the following evening the eurvivor entered a cafe, where there was ft mixed crowd, and exclaimed: "I am in luck, gentlemen; a long time ago I iiad killed one Portugese, one Spauiard, one Austrian and one Prussian; and now, -at last, I have killed one damned En­ glishman. I am happy. Vive l'Emper- >ur?" After Major Park and Captain Creed Jiad been placed hors de combat by the two Tipperary duelists (Matthew and Macnamara) Park, while covered with Ivounds, remarked, smilingly, to his com- Itanion: "I say, Creed, we are, in a cer-ain sense, the conquerors after all, for We have kept the field of battle--eh?" "Yon smell like a goat," said St. Foix to •n officer of the guard one day: "Sir," Exclaimed the latter, drawing his sword. "Put up your sword, you foolish fellow," -cried the famous duelist, who was ever­ lastingly getting into scrapes; "put up your sword; for if you kili le you will Hot smell any better, at if I kill you you will smell a great t^lit worse." One day, while two Frenchmen were throwing off their jackets, leisurely, pre­ paratory to a fight, one of them saw a Boat crossing the Seine, and cried out to liis -antagonist: "Quick! quick! my friend, for the authorities are coming and they will separate us!'4 In an instant their swords were at work, and, before the law officers fould reach the scene the Oombntants were dead. Upon another occasion a Parisian got into a row with two men and agreed to meet them both. "What, one against two," cried the Others, chuckling. "Yes; have you never seen one against two?--come cm, then, both of you. Ill at least get my mufta ia the Chronicle! (fyavtaoM'*.) And he did, too--in the obituary column tfctough. After Chis duel with Samnel Martin, -which took place in Hyde Park on the 19th of November, 1763, (and in which he was severely wounded) John Wilkes was asked by the Prince de Croy--this was his fourth duel on account of his politfcl writings in the North Briton--to what extent the liberality of the press, could be carried in England, and replied that he could not tell, but was trying hard to find out. Notwithstanding* the many disturbances Wilkes encountered during his career as publisher ef the North Briton, lie was said to be "one of the most fascinating persons over the bottle that ever lived." Wilkes was onerf challenged by a Scotchman named Forbes, who had never met the object of his dislike, but who expressed a desire to fight the author of such an offensive Sublication as the North Briton. In his uel with Martin the combatants met with pistols at fourteen paces, and Wilkes was hit in the back at the second fire. On the 23d of December, 1883, A. C. Lowery, editor of the Georgetown (New Mexico) Courier,received a challenge from Joseph N. Latter, a school commissioner of Silver City (N. M.)in the following words: "You can select a friend of vours who can correspond with H. H. Whitehill, whom I shall Belect to settle our difficulty. You must do this at once, as I must have satisfaction and that without delay." To which the facetious scribe replied: "We are not fighters from Bitter Creek nor bad men from Bodie. We have not lost any fights, and are iiot hunting any; but if we are obliged to fight, we don't propose to lose any either. Our second will confer with Mr. Wliitehill and choose the public streets of Georgetown, distance three feet, stockings loaded with mud." When Andy Bodkin and John Bourke fought, a child of the latter was held up­ on a neighbor's shoulder to see the com­ bat. They fought with pistols, in Ireland, and both were slightly wounded at the first fire. At the second fire Bodkin was dangerously injured. Their second also fought with pistols at ten paces, and were both desperately wounded. The child grew up to be Sir John Bourke, and used to tell the story of his father's duel with exceeding gusto. In 1785 Mathew Carey, who had com­ menced an editorial career in Philadel­ phia, by writing an essay against dueling, shortly afterward challenged Col. Oswald, and at the meeting was severely wounded. Aa Irish judge (Fletcher) once addressed a jury in a case in which a surviving duelist )Fenton) was defendant, as fol­ lows: "Gentlemen of the jury: It is my business to lay down the law to you and I will. The law says that killing a man in a duel is murder. Therefore, in the discharge of my duty, I tell you so. But I tell you at the same time, that I have never heard of a fairer duel than this, in the whole course of my life." In 1785 Lewis Littlepage challenged John Jay in New York on account of a suit instituted against Littlepage by Jay, for the pay­ ment of moneys loaned the former by Jay, at a time when Littlepage was sadly iu need of bed and board. Mr. Jay de­ clined to fight with a man who had so grossly abused his kindness, and referred to the challenging party as one "with my money in liis pocket and my meat still sticking in his teeth." There is a good story toldofDeReuilly --who lived during the reign of Henry IY., and who devoted much of his Valuable time in resisting the encroachments of dueling customs upon French society, and who was socially cut by many of his friends on that account, a number of whom branded the young officer with cowardice--how two duelists once met him in the woods -near Paris, and drew their swords, and hilariously called up­ on the anti-duelist to defend himself; which he did by handsomly disarming and wounding both of his assailants; after which he had the sufferers conveyed to his own home, where they were nursed and otherwise cared for until their com plete recovery. Ney, who was remarkably fond of duel­ ing, never lost an opportunity, while young, of meeting in combat with friend or foe. One day he met and crippled for life a celebrated fencing master of a Chasseur regiment; but in after life, when he had become a marshal, he sought out his former antagonist, and had him comfortably provided for. "Old Put,"of the Revolutionary army, was the hero of two "affairs of honor." The first grew out of a difficulty between Putman and a brother officer, in which the latter assumed a hostile attitude, and demanded immediate satisfaction. Put­ nam, at first declined, on the ground that their services belonged to their country, and that it would be little less than un­ patriotic for them to jeopardize their lives unnecessarily in time of war; but ultimately concluded to meet his belicose brother officer "according to usage." So they agreed to meet at daylight the fol­ lowing morning without seconds. Israel arrived first, armed with an old shot gun loaded with slugs. In a short time after­ ward his antagonist put ill an appearance armed with a sword and two pistols. When the latter had arrived at within al>out thirty yards of Putnam he was saluted by a shot from thegeneral's mus­ ket, and instantly halted and cried out: "What are you doing sir?--is this the proper conduct of an American officer and gentleman of honor?" ' 'What am I doing?" replied the old warrior, coolly; "why, I am defending my life against a man who wants to murder me. And if you don't beat a retreat in less time than it takes old Heath to hang a torv, you are a gone dog." But, sir, I--" "Bang!" and away went Putnam's musket again; and away went his antagonist at an O'Learv rate of speed, laughing, himself, in spite of his anger and astonishment. Putnam's other "affair" was with an English officer who was a prisoner on parole; and who, taking offense at the general, sent the latter a challenge, which was accepted. At the time appointed the Britisher appeared, and found Putnam sittingon what seemed to be a keg of powder. The latter at once saluted his antagonist and told him to sit down with him on the keg; and Putnam then set fire to a slow match, which apparently communicated with the contents cf the barrel, and coolly said to his companion that the chances for them to be both blown into atoms were equal. The British officer first glanced at Put- man, then at the keg, and then at the slow match--tlie fire of which was ap­ proaching the powder--and then jumped up and made preparations for a hasty exit; during which Putnam shouted: "You're just precisely as brave as I took you to be--but you needn't hurry, for there's nothing in this barrel but onions. I thought I'd try you with onions first--you don't like the smell; ha-ha-ha! you don't like the smell!" But the punctilious ad­ vocate of the code duello had genteelly re­ tired. In 1820 a merchant of Boston, named Zebidee Cook, was challenged by another merchant, named George Barrell. and replied, by saying, simply, that he had made up his mind thai it was the best way for merchants to adjust their busi­ ness difficulties without resort to pistols. Barrell then wrote: "Let us settle our business difficulties, then and fight afterward." To whidh Cook replied: "Withallmy heart--but. what in the; name of goodness, shall we fight about, after we have settled our difficulties?" There was no duel. During the reign of Louis XVL, of France, there lived a fellow named Lamo- liere, who was an accomplished wielder of both pen and sword. On a certain oc­ casion determined to emphatically de­ monstrate his contempt for a brother author, he attended the first night's pro­ duction of "Erestine" (a comedy in three acts), and feigned profound sleep. Unluckily, however, Lamoliere actually fell into the hands of Morpheus; during which some person dropped a carrot into his tyiotttli. The u^-xt day he cha&eqgcd tuid fought the offender, but was placed hors de combat. The event was ever afterward known as the duel a la carrotte --San Francisco Newsletter. Authors and artists, as well as kings, are popularly accused of improvidence. Many a genius is in practical life but a child, and not always a good one. Sheri­ dan has been called "the hero of debt." He was the recipient of large sums of money, but was always poor. His wife brought him the snug sum of £1,600, but this he frittered away in a trip to Bath of six week's duration. His neces­ sities drove him to literature for a live^- hood, and to his poverty we owe some oi bis matchless productions. Six months after the receipt of ArlS.OOO not a penny remained, and he was deeply in debt. While holding lucrative posts under government he was in debt to tradesmen for the commonest necessaries of life, and the shifts he devised to avoid meet­ ing the many duns that besieged his house are as humorous as thev are humil­ iating. Taylor, his friend, said, "that il he took off liit; hat to Sheridan in the street it would cost him £50,"such an in­ veterate borrower was the brilliant wit. A creditor came for his money mounted on a fine mare. Sheridan induced fee man to show off the animal's speed, and promptly embraced the opportunity ol slipping round the corner into the next Btreet. On another occasion a joint of meat was brought to the house for dinner, and the cook placed it before the fire to roast. The butcher, however, who was probably wise by experience, refused to depart without the money for it. The cook went up stairs for the cash, but being gone an unreasonably long time, the man coolly removed the joint from the fire, put it in his basket, and marched off. This was while Sheridan was paymastei of the British navy, and in receipt of a good income. His creditors besieged his door every morning. He would direct that they be shown into reception rooms on either side of the hall, and, aftei cautiously looking to see that the door* were all shut, would cautiously descend the stairs and walk out between them. Lamartine was a notorious spendthrift His income from one book alone amounted to two hundred thousand francs a year, yet his debts reached the astounding sum of three million francs. A popular sub­ scription was started to repurchase his family estates, which hail, been heavily mortgaged. A subscriber to this fund, a man in affluent circumstances, priced a turbot at a fishmonger's shop one day. Its ualue, however, was too stee,, for his means. An aristocratic personage enter­ ed the store, however, looked at the great fish, and without troubling to ask its cost, ordered, the whole to be sent to his house. The purchaser was Lamar­ tine. Mirabeau was such a scapegrace in money matters that his father could only restrain him from entirely squandering his patrimony by incarcerating him iu prison by virtue of a lettre de cachet. Our own Webster, too, in spite of a large professional revenue, was constantly IE monetary difficulties arising put of his extravagant habits. Savage, the author and wit, had a pen­ sion of £50 a year, but such was his im- prudenceihat it was usually Bpent within a week after it receipt. Samuel Jolinsou met him one day sporting a gold lacec red cloak, purchased with a goodly por­ tion of his pension, while at the san* time his toes were peeping out of hi? shoes. He died miserably in a debtor't prison. Indeed, this waB the fate oi many brilliant but dissipated men ol letters. Goldsmith, Foote, Colley, Cibber and Steele were alike in being improvident, and consequently impecunious, but they one and all lnire the load lightly. Wlieii Steele was head over ears in debt lit used to travel down into the country, where he would shower money and pres­ ents on the lads and lasses at the rural merry makings. But, for chronic extravagance and im- pecuniositv, Goldsmith takes the palm. He made the tour of Europe on foot, playing his flute and begging his way from te .vn to town. He us&d afterwaru to boast that he owed money in every country in Europe. His success in aftei life, when money flowered in upon him made no difference. He was always in debt. What he earned one day he would spend, gamble, or give away the next His passion for fine clothes made him the butt of the circle of wits in which h« moved. "He was dunned for his mill score, arrested for rent, threatened lawyers, but he never learned the virtue of economy." Improvidence was hit curse. He could refuse no appeal to hit pocket, and he would borrow a guinea and hand it to a begger. He earned from his pen £8,000 in fourteen years, and ye< he was in debt to the tune of £2,000 whet he died, besides having received pay inent in advance for works he had prom­ ised to write; but had failed to do so. Nc wonder Johnson exclaimed, "Was evei poets so trusted before!" Byron, before he was twenty-one. owed £10,000,, and his financial difficul­ ties increased with time. Newstead Al>- bev was sold to satisfy the money lend ers, and the large sums he received in payment for his literary efforts went only a little way toward the liquidation of hit vgst indebtedness. Genius has no necessary connection with prudence or self restraint. Extrav­ agance is the parent of misery, and all permanent happiness for the iudividua] or for society must be rooted in thrift.-- New York Advocate. An Unpleasant Predicament. "Yes, I was in quite an accident once," said the baggageman, as he stood in the door of his car waiting for his train to start; "it was a queer accident, too, and I never want to see the like of it again. You see that long white spot there on the side of my head--that ridge ? Well, that was the result of the little bust-up I'm telling about. It was on the Lake Shore a good many years ago. On my run one day I had a sleeper--a corpse, you know--and as it was a through passenger I put it in the extreme rear end of my car. Nothing tinusnal hap­ pened till we got this side of Adrian a pie<v--that was before the air line was built--when we struck a cow on the track and got throwed off. It was right on a high bank, too, and we went to the bottom with a good deal of a crash, I tell you. Trunks and boxes flew around there pTetty lively. One of 'em struck me there where you see that scar. But the worst of ft was the sleeper's box broke open as it came tumbling down to my end of the car, and the passenger stuck his head out to see what was go­ ing on. „I wouldn't a-minded thatif he hadn?t come quite so close to me. His banged-up box stopped right side of me, and his face came right down on mine. It makes me crawl yet to think of it. And I had to stay there twenty minutes before the boys could get at me, with that clammy dead face, two weeks gone, up agin mine.

The graphio occurrence that is described below is one of the most remarkable episodes In the domestic history of America. It is ab­ solute truth which can readily be verified. ' The inhabitants of the pleasant town of Cort.and, ft. Y., were shocked one morning ty the announc ement that Mr. Clinton hludge, one of tht ir most prominent citizens, had committed uuicicle. The news spread rapidty and arcused the ent re neighborhood where Mr. Kindle was so well and favorably known. At flret it sceraed impossible ihat any one so quici and domestic could do so rash a deed, and the inquiry was hoard on every side aa to the c mse. The facts as developed on investi- ga.ion proved to be as follows: Mr. Kindge was domestic in his tastes, and took the greatest enjoyment ;n the society of his children and pride in their development. And uidwl he had goo 1 reason to be proud, ior they (;ave promise of long lives of suc­ cess and usefulness. But an evil day came. His youngest son, William, began to show signs of an early decay. He leit unusually tired each day, and would sometimes Bleep the entire afternoon if permitted to do so. His head pained him, not acutely, but with a dull, heavy feeling. Thero was a sinking sen­ sation at the pit of his stomach. He lost all relish for food and much of his interest for things about him. He tried manfully to over come these feelings, but they seemed stronger than his will. He began to lose flesh i apidly. The father became alarmed and consulted physicians as to the cause of his son's illucss, but they were unable to explain. Finally severe sores broke out on his arms and he was taken to Buflalo, where a painful opera­ tion was performed, resulting in the los^of much blood, but attording little relief. The young man returned home, and a council of physicians was called. Alter an exhaustive examination they declared there was no nope of flnal recovery and that he must die within a very few days. To describe the agony which this announcement caused the fall.or would be impossible. His mind failed to grasp its full meaning at first; then finally seeuied to comprehend it, but the load was too great. In an agony of frenzy he seized a knife and took his own life, preferring death rather than to survive his idolized son. At that time William Kindge was too weak to kuow what was transpiring. H s face had turned black, his breath ceased entirely at times, and his iriends waited for his death, believing that the fiend, Bright's disea:e of the kiducys, from which he was suffering, could not be removed. In this supreme moment William's sister came lor ward and declared she would make a flnal attempt to save her brother. The doctors interposed, as­ suring her it was useless and that she would only hasten the end by the means she proposed to employ.

These favorable signs continued, and to-day \\ illiam B. Kindge is well, having been virtually raised from the dead through the marvelous Dower of War­ ner's t-'ale Cure, as can be readily verified by any citizen of Cortland. Any oue who reflects upon the facts above described must have a feeling of saincss. The father, dead by his own hand, supposing his son's roeovery to be impossible; the son restored to health to mourn the loss of his father: and the agonized relatives with a memory of sadness to forever darken their lives. Had Clinton Hindge known that hla son could lecoverhe would today be alive and happy; but the facts which turned his brain and caused him to commit suicide were such as any one would accept as true. However sad this case may be, the trrth remains that thousands of people are at this moment in as great actual peril as William Kindge, and in as great danger of causing misery if not death to their friends. Liver and kidney diseases are become the most common and most' dangerous of any or all modern complaint". They are the most de­ ceptive in their beginnings and horrible in their final stages. They are far more decep­ tive than Consumption, and can rarely be detected, even by skillful physicians, unless a microscopic analysis b:> resorted to, and few doctors understand how to do this. Their slightest approach, or possibility of approach, should strike terror to the one who is threat­ ened as well as to all his or her friends. These diseases have no distinct symptoms, but come in the form of lassitude, loss of appetite, aching muscles and joints, dull headaches, pains in the back, stomach, and chest, sour stomach, recurring signs of cold, irregular pulsations of the he.<rt, and frequent dizziness. If neglected, these symp­ toms are certain to run into chronic kidney and liver or Bright's di«eat-e, from which there is sure to be great amount of agony and only one means of escape, which is by the use of Warner's £alc Cure. The import­ ance of taking this great remedy upon the slightest appearance of any of the above symptoms cannot be too strongly impressed upon the minds of all readers who desire to escape death and pain and prolong life, with all its pleasures and blessings. A SMOOTH sidewalk is a thing to be desired and generally approved, but people are apt to get down on a slippery pavement. Three Remarkable Interviews. A reporter has interviewed Hon. Wm. D.

I now consider myself cured, and cannot expresa my thankfulness and grati­ tude for BO signal a deliverance from s terrible disease.
