In times past statesmen bove gone to the so- called field of honor and some of them have ;lost their lives in these hostile .ateetlegs. The most tooted data in our bis - tory was that in wlach. the Vice -Pre- sident of the United States met and killed the ex -secretary of the trea- eery. This meeting between) Burr anti Hamilton, occuered, July 11, 1804, near ;Weehawken in Now jersey. Their quarrel grew out of politics. 'Mere is no doubt that Ilarailton's influence and Ws active interest thwarted Burr's ambition. In all pro- bability be would have been chosen instead of Jefferson; for President in that Beet contest which occurred in the House In the winter of 1800-1 had it not been, far tbe aetive part which Ittontlton took to prevent the same. Tile federalists were inclined to support Burr because they knew the other party had intended to elleet Jefferson, and as between tile two there was at chat time small room for choice, so far as they were concerned. Hamilton was, no doubt, right in Ms estimate of the two men; yet one cannot but wonder what might have been, if he had Itept hands eff. Burr len hia home a few days af- ter the fatal meeting, went to Phil- adelolaa, and from there he went scrut.n and visited his daughter, who had married Colonel Allison, of South Carolina, As tire thee for the meeting of Congress approached he journeyed by easy stages toward Washington, and in many of the towns along the route he was received with marked atten- tion and honors. When Congress as- sembled in December be to* his place as President of the Senate, and it waS durtng that winter that he pre- sided over the triad or Judea Cuase in the attesateted impeactment of the jurist. TIrere was polities in that af- fair, but It is said of Burr that he conducted the proceedings "with the irepartlality of an angel and the rigor of a devil." tieneral Armistead T. Mason, a sen- ator of the United 'States from lar - ghee, was instantly killed in a duel near B1ade:201)11m, Md., on Feb. 6th, 1819. His opponent was Colonel John McCarty, of the same State, and the two men were cousins. Thie querrel also grew out of poilties, theugh it was not a ease of fisticuffs on the floor of the Senate. They were very much incensed against each other, and their quarrel was to the death. OreCarthy sent the first challenge, but in it he prescribed the tomes of the meetin.g, whica, under the code, he had no right to do. Seaultor Mason thereupon refused to meet him, and in return McCarthy "posted" him as a coward. Next Mason sent a chal- lenge, and his cousin replied, making three propositions: That they should leap together from the dome of the tapitol, or fight with lighted torches over a barrel of gunpowder or meet In a, handeto-band combat with dirks. They finally met at Bladensburg, armed with 4tot-guus, ea,ch gun loaded with a single solia ball, and, standing so close together that their gene almost touehed n,t the muzzles), they both fired a.t the word. The very life was blown out of the Sen- ator and one arm of the other was almost torn off. It was upon this ammo field of Bladensburg, and within a few yards ef the same spot that Decatur tine Barron fought about a year later, when both were desperately wounded. Decatur died that alight at 1118 Mame' ie Washington, and the other, after loag Months of suffering, recovercl. That was a quarrel in the navy, end, like some modern instances, was long drawn out, Decatur was an ex- pert with the pistol, while Barron was so nearsighted that it seemed madness for him to go to the fieltl. 5P1, 1:110 other WAS taken hilt] Ile was left, The old Wager of Battle was kneeled on the idea that the Wel of Juanita) would award the right. A very noted affair between etates- men was the meeting between Jona- then Cilley, a. member of the Inwer 'louse from. Maine, and, 1Villiam J. Graves, a member of the same body front Kentucky. Politics was at the bottotru of WO affair -polities and a newspaper man. its affair seems more Lket a murder, pure entl than any in our laletory. The parties Imet absolutely nothing against each other ; Cilley lost his life upon a naaoe punetillo. Not only so, but he was killed for words spoken in debate on thellloor. of the House, fon which, the conzellution says, a memeer obeli Let be 'called to itecount. In se speech in the Ilonse Cilley said something which Colonel James Wat- son Webb, editor of the New York Courier and Inquirer, thought re- flected on him,. antl so he sent a note to Mr. Cilley by -Um hand of Mr, tere,yee.

Ile insisted on still ancater fire, and this time Cilley was struck down, and dled within three minutes). Would it not create a stir in these pping days if the Secretary of State should send a cartel to a Senator le Congress and the two should burn good powder in an effort to kill each other? That le precisely what hap- pened once -at least the Secretary tried to iiill the Senator while the latter fired in the air. That was the hostiLe meeting be- tween Clay and Randolph. Clay was Secretary of State under Sohn Quincy Adams, and Randolphi had the eitarpest tongue that ever wagged in the Senate -modern instances not excepted. In a tirade one day he referred to the alliance between. Clay and Ada.= as a combinatlon be- tween "the Puritan and the black- leg -BUM and Black George." Clay was sore on that ooint -Andrew Jackson's ;henchmen had started the absurd story about a so-called "cor- rupt bargain and sale," and this un- warranted attack from the eccentric Virginian. enraged Wan to the fight- ing point.

Clay abet a bole through the Senator's coat; the latter fired, in the alr, and then the two shook heeds with much em- otion and were good friends ever af- terward.

A new manirestation of the servant question is the substitution by wo- men while travelling of a valet or a trained nurse for a lady's maid. "Yoa don't mean to tell me," cried a conservative elderly woman to her up-to-date gran lOeughter, "that women in good society „et a man in- to the plaee of a lady's maid ?" "Certainly I do," was the calm re- joinder. "Just as they prefer often- times the man milliner, dressmaker, habit maker, tailor and hairdreseer. "Of eetiese the duties of to woman's valet and a lady's maid are not ex- actly the same, bat the principal difference seems tel be that those of Id the valet are more inclusive." One reason for the rise of the valet is that the n.nmber of New York we- *, ,men who spend six months or more .of every year away from home and travel without male escort has in- creased tremendously of late and that few who can afford it consider their travelling equipment complete without a lady's maid. As a result the supply of lady's maids is short of the demand. Therefore, valetas are employed as a substitute, and trained nurses, too, avail thetbselves of this mean e to widen their experi- ence lay travel and sightseeing. The average lady's maid is not a good traveller. Neither le she re- sourceful in emergencies, and she is not quick to promote the comfort of her employer under adverse and unexpected conditioner.

Just How Jefferson Davis Was Captured. A BIT OF CORRECTED 1-IIS1ORY. (Philadelphia ltecord.) Here is a bit of corrected history: Casper Knobel, of No. L.078 eaet Cum• Dwelled street, this city, labored un- der the impression for many yeare that Sergeant Thomas Riley was the man most closely associated with him in the capture of Jefferson Da- vis. Mr. Knobel's son spent much time in an exhaustive search as to the facts, and now Mr. Knobel, througb the Record, makes las final state - went, which he wiebes to go into history. He says: The man most closely associated with kac in the capture of the Pres' dent of the Confederacy was George Rinke, of No. 829 Citestnut street, Detroit, Mich. Not until February 6, 1902, did I hear from Comrade Rieke. Since then we have gone overethe matter together and join in this statement : rile Pursuit.. On the 7th of May., 1865, with a detachment of the Fourth eliclegan daYalrY, we left Macon, Ga., about d p. in., with 419 men and 20 ofil. eerie We rode all night. By 8 a. m.

We encamped for the Mani; some three or four miles below Hawkinstille. It must have been about I o'clock on the morning of the 9th when we broke camp and moved to Abbeyville, where our officer in *ergo was in- formed that a train of 10 or 12 wagons and two ambulances lima crossed the Ocmulgee River, at drowns Ferry, about one and a halt miles above, at 12 o'clock on the previous night. At Abbeyville we saw Lieut. -Colonel Hamden, of the tarot Wisconsin Cavalry, aho in. formed ue that he, with a force of 75 men, was following on the track nI Jefferson Davis, and that his men were fromtwo te three hours in advance. Dam/very of the Camp. About 1a, in., May 10, we paseed Confederate, and, representing to him that we were the rear guard, left to holki back the Yankees, we inquired the direction of the train. He said that a party had encamped about dark the previous evening, nearly a mile and a half off the zebbeyville road. To avoid being led astray, however, our officers decided to split up our party. George Rinke, the horseshoer; myself and twelve more men were iv the band detailed to continue on the road we had been following, while other parties, composed of 14 eien each, were directed to go to the. left and right of the oad. Our party lia.d traversed but a short distance when we /*covered a dying campfire. This indicated that we must be close to the camp of the Davis party. George Rinke and. I were peaked out of the men of our party to make w charge as quickly and quietly as possible. We rode along quietly, and 8000 made out in the d,arknoss tbe tents or, the party. The first person we discovered wee a sleeping colored man, who had evidently been left to gu.ard the small camp.

At title moment a new scene open- ed, destined in its mournful results to cloud the otherwise perfect success or our expedition. We had held pos- session of the camp but a few min* utes, and not long enough to ascer- tain the extent of onr capture, when sharp firing was begun between the dismounted force under Lieutenant Purinton and whet was supposed at the time to be the Confederate force guarding the train.

I A Scotch parson once preached a long Hermon against dram drinking, it vice very prevalent in his parish, and from which report said he was not himself wholly exempt. "Whatever ye do, brethren," said he, "do it in moderation, anti aboon all, be moderate in dram -drinking. When you get up, indeed, ye may take a dram, and anItlier just before breakfast, and perhaps anither after; but Milne be auways dram drinking. "If ye are out in the morn, ye may just brace yerseif up with &author dram, and perhaps take anIther be- fore luncheon, and sonae, I fear tak ane after, which is no so very blam- able, but Mena be always dram- dram-draming away. "Naebody can scruple for one just afore dinner, and when the dessert Is bronght in an. after It's Wen away; and, perhaps ane, or it may be twa, luu the course of the afternoon, just to keep ye fra' drowsing and snozzling; but dinno, be always dram- draradraming. "Afore tea and after tea, and be. tween tea and supper, and before and after supper, is no more than right and good; but let me caution snozzling; but dinna be always dram. draining. "Just when ye start for bed, and when ye're ready to pop into 't, and perhaps when you wake in the night, to take a dram or twa Is no more than a Christian man may lawfully do ; but brethren, let me caution you not to drink more than I've mention. ed, or maybe ye may pass the bounds of moderation." -Mirror. Science at the Bub. In a Boston school the other day a teacher said to a small boy: " 'Who won the battle of New Or- leans?" "'Wily, Jim Corbett, of course,' was the answer. " 'How did that happen?' asked the teacher, not placing Corbett s name and thinking to set the boy right. "'He won,' was the prompt reply, 'because he had more science than the other guy.'
