Coining down to this place from
Southwestern Virginia I had u
nuinbar i > r intcroating cncouutora , of
which I slmll speak horoaftor. Clmr-
lottesvillo is the capitul of Albeiu.vrlo
comity , and , I iniylit ay , of the
chnrming Alboinarlo Valley. It is nn
old town with a history. The Univor-
aity of Virginia , that great Southern
educational institution from which so
many diBtinguishud mun liavc gradu
ated , ia located here. 3t is still the
most popular school in the South.
This , too , w.is the homo of Thomas
Jefferson , and ho lived and died with
in gunshot of this iiluco and of the
great school which lie founded. I am
not Roim ; to wntoabnutCharlottsville ,
Monticello , the Alliomarlo Valley or
Thomas JoHerson. Any ono of thuso
would ho u fruitful subject in itnelf ,
and 1 slmll H rite about thum hereafter.
Coining down un the train from Lynch-
burt ; I had a queer companion. Ho
told mo an inturoating story , which 1
will repeat :
"Did you over fiylit a duel , or act
as a second in ono ? " asked this typic.il
Virginian of mo by way of introducing
it. My questioner wai a rather pleas
ant-looking m in , with nothing huroic
or loud in either hia manner or his
speech , and illicit easily have been
mistaken foru Proshytorian deacon era
a Methodist class leider. Ho hid.
nevertheless , fought no loss than four
duels , and carried a bullet in his leg
from ono of them , and had lost a piece
of his lower jaw in another. I there
fore felt interested in the tale ho might
unfold , and , pleading entire inexperience -
once in the matter , t-aid :
"Why do you ask ? "
"Because there is always a funny
oido to a duel , and I wondered if you
had over seen it , " and then followed a
story of Iliddlebergor , doubly inter
esting to me , as I had scon him a few
hours after he had calmly faced the of
muzzle of a pistol throe times , and was
willing to do so again. There was
ooinetliing almost inspiring in even a
look at him. Fancy a mun who chal
lenges two men to meet him in mortal
combat , both within eight hours ! Hut
he looked uvory inch the man bravo
enough to meet nn enemy and cool
enough to conquer Ho is rather
above the medium height , with n well
rounded frame , perfect physique , a ag
faca the veiy picture of mental and
moral force , and a good head sur
mounted by coal black hair , combed
straight back to cover a bald head.
Hia rather cold , gray eye seemed
full of fire as ho stood arguing
to a few interested friends the politi
cal cause of which his heart is and
out of which came the encounters
with Congressman Wise and Mr. gee
Bierne of the State , attended as they pro
with ludicrous incidents
were more
oft
than most duels can boast.

"You see , " said my informant ,
"these meetings were arranged on the
spur of the moment. Kidt'lobergor guz
reached town about noon , and when troi
the 2 o'clock edition of The State was onti
ontiii
issued , with the objectionable edito
rial , ho sent his friend to Mr. Biorno , ami
and when tlio 4 o'clock edition of the the
same piper came out , with Congress full
man Wise's curd , Iliddleborgor sent berj
the Eamo friend to him. It was and
arranged between Bicrno's second and fore
Riddlebprger'u that Biorno should so
leave AshUnd , a town some eighteen and :
miloa distant from Richmond , and
that Riddloborger shoulu leave Richmond notl
mend at the same tnno by the same dres
road. The two wore to drive toward moil
each other , and the duel w&s to take caus
place where they met. The meeting dem
between NViso and Kiddloberger waste
to bo a few miles distant at 10 o'clock.
Biorno and \Visoleft Richmond imme
diately after being challenged , and
Riddloborger rumained in the out who
skirts of Richmond over night. His but
second engaged a colored man to drive refu
a pair of horses and a carriage bu- 811
longing to a well known livery stable anni
keeper. The driver waa told that dem
they wcro going out to shoot birds , dial
and wanted him to bo at a curtain and
pin co before daylight. He wai on Pub
hand at the appointed time , and Rid jujti
dloborger and his two seconds took the obej
carriage and were driven toward Ash- uirtli
land. They had driven but a short grea ;
distance when the driver learned from nany
their conversation the object of tlioir heiiE
journey. Djunmy seized him , and , erne
turning to the gentleman who had on- TI
gago-1 him , ho gasped : stop
"Boss , io' God , I can't make dia typu
drive ! " a cLi
" 'Drive on , you black rascal1 ! said of
the gentleman , nnd the click of the ago'
pistol close to the driver's ear freight- cal cM
oned him into obedience , from a mor M
al standpoint , but very good for prac cent
tical purposes. qual [
' When the two parties met , about are
eleven miles from Richmond , the fuier [
driver's terror conquorrod hia pride ticu
and ho fled to the woods. rei'ps
"As soon as possible the Roconda ahou
began to arranpo details , while the take
principals turned their backs to each gent ;
other. ulpps
"Biorno's second , being young and mn
inoxpuriynced , suggoatod that thu details - than
tails of the agreement should be put a inn

conquered his prejudice ) laufliciontly to
return.
"They drove to Alice's Station ,
where Wise and his parly wuro to
inrot them to ai ratine details an < l
select the 'dark ' nnd bloody ground. '
Hero Iliddleborgor wrapped his cloak
around him and lay down under a tree
to sleep. A cloak is well nigh hulls-
pcnsiblo at a duel. It is a good thing
to sleep on while the arrangements
are being made , and it makes a good
shroud if a fellow is killed. While
they wore waiting for the arrival of
Wise nnd hu party the delinquent
driver appeared , somewhat tired from
hii Hix-milu walk.
" 'Where were you , you black
scoundrel ? ' demanded one of the
seconds.
I was up in do woods

and the poor fellow eat down ou the
btei ] of Iho c irriasjo nnd iioirly cried.
"Wlnlotho duel was progressing ,
he stayed with the carrugn , and his
emotion' ) ma } * be judged hy what he
paid to onn of the seconds at the uloso
of HID encounter. AH ho saw thu
second coining hu ran tomecthim , and
cried :
" 'Hosi , 'fo'Ood , I tinks dey was
shootin" squirrels , tlero was so many
shots ! Is anybody hutt ! I was
prayin' all do lime dat no harm might
come to M.IIMI Riddleborgor , an1 1
know do Lord has answered my
prayer ! "
' 'When told that no one was hurt ,
ho burst into a laugh , ami said : 'Well ,
is dat so ? I heard shot * cMiough lo
kill obory man on do ground , and to
link nnbudy was hurt ! Mighty bad
shotn dem fellahs ! '
WHY NO OSK WAS IIUHT.
"Once on the ground , and the ]
shooting in progress , ono loses sight
for a time of anything funny. In this !
dm both were in earnest ; but fancy
Ur men facing each other at ten paces
and tiring three shots at ouch other (
with 'malice aforolhouglit , ' and then
not only shaking hands , but having a
virtual love-feast ! "
"What was the trouble with the
weapons ? " .
i ' .Nothing , but the fact is , both men
were bad allots. I suspect , however ,
that both came nearer death than they
knew.
"Ono of the
seconds told mo that
Riddlobergo'r's last ball grazed the top
Wiao's hat , and that Wisp's shot
can within six inches of Iliddlobor-
er ' iioso. But both men were ready
for the fourth shot , when the seconds
began to purioy for a settlement.
"Riddleberger had complained to
his second that the putols shot too
hig. . 'Don't talk. It is your busi
ness to shot , not talk'said ! his second ,
and hu walked back and began to load
agid tin. *
d Has not this business gone far
enough ? ' slid Wiso'p second.
n 'Does that suggestion come from
you or your principal ? was the stern
reply. ] 'It ia my own , but I will consult
suit with Mr. Wise. '
" 'Riddloberger was told of the suggest
goal ion , and the motion of reconciliation
tier waa made just as one of the sur
geons ; lett his station and came up to
protest against any further filing.
ii 'I was fixing the pistols , ' said ono
the seconds , "when I turned round
