To ho Editor of Until ,
/ I seldom take the trouble to answo
or correct anything which might b
said about mo in the press. 1 ask th
privilege , however , of saying a few
words in order to rectify a certain
wrong imprpssion , which might rosul
from Eomo paragraphs in your paper
I expect you will show mo that fair
ness. Let mo , therefore , simply mi
that , if I had lived in the Sucoiu
ward , T should have voted for Mr. ]
8 , Haecall , becauito I know htm to b
an honest and upright man in his bus
inoes transactions , and because I , Ilk
nearly all aonsiblo men , regard hi
constant abuse as originating and kop
up for a political purpose and in a po
liticnl sense. I was not near th
Second ward polls last Tuesday ,
did not oak a single man to vote fo
Mr. IfiiBcall or any other candidate ii
the Second ward. When upproaohe <
us to my willingness to assist other
in their endeavors to assist Mr , Has
call , I positively and repeatedly re
fused to do so. Aa to a contest eve
scuts , I have learned moro nbou
them through the columns of your pa
per than from any other source ,
regarded them as mcro street rumors
expressed myself to that cflVct. am
should bo the last man to taka it ) int
my head or deem it my business t
encourage s'ich a thing oithorby won
or action. I hope this will natisfy
you us to my course and intentions
which certainly , through your papur
gain moro importance than they do
servo. Respectfully ,

iiormmm ami the patronngo so oxton-
ivo that ho has enlarged and perfect-
d his slock until ho is no'w recognized
s the Worth of the west. Making
ogular trips to the old country ho
* uys and imports all his own goods
ircct , nnd that ho clous so \ \ ith con-
ummnto taste nnd judgment may bo
earned from nil acquaintance with the

A peculiar temperance society was
recently formed at Emmottsburg ,
Iowa , the members of which ag reo to
abstain from the use of intoxicating
liquor a period of ono year , and each
member is required to make n cash
deposit of five dollars with the treas
urer , which amount is forfeited if ho
breaks his plodgo. No ono who has
boon a total abstainer is eligible to
raombcjohip.
The legislature was in session sixty-
six days , of which just twenty-four
were devoted to business , eight Hpont
in preliminaries , nine Sundays , ton
for recesses , and fifteen for adjourn
ments , Eight hundred and twenty-
ono bills were introduced in both
branches. There were 170 enacted
into Inws ; of these forty-throo were
general , hfty-fivologolizing nets , forty-
eight amendatory , nnd twenty-six
were appropriation acts. This does
not include the numerous petitions ,
resolutions , roinonntrancos , etc ,
A Stningo Duel.
Ban i'raniiiico Cbronlcic.
A utrango story of a duel come *
from Poland. A short time ago two
young follows , journeymen bronze-
smiths , were sitting in a small Warsaw
cafe , playing dominoes. A glass half
full of liquor stood on the table bo-
tWoeu them , and ono or two of their
follow workmen were looking on at
the game with evident interest. There
was little in the appearance of the
group to attract especial attention
still less to suggest the improbable
notion that the four youths composing
it were two duelists nnd their seconds ,
or that the otako of the domino match
was a human life. Presently , however
the game having como to a conclusion ,
the younger of the two players , a lad
of 10 , named Stanislas Julian , lifted
the glass to his lips and drank of its
contents at a draught. Five minutes
later ho was a corpse. The wretched
boys had quarrelled and agreed to
fight a duel in such sort that the
death of ono or the other must ensue.
Having placed themselves in the
hands of two seconds , these latter ar
ranged that their principals should
play a "sot" of three games of dominoes -
oos , upon the solemn understanding
that the loser should swallow a doao
of the deadliest poison procurable
This hideous compact wa carried out
tb the letter , nor did any of the sur
viving persons concerned in it , when
interrogated by the police authorities
before whom they were subsequently
brought , betray the least remorse for
thoirshnro in the ghastly transaction.
Julian's adversary , indeed , boldly
avowed that , had ho lost the match ,
ho would hnvo fulfilled his pledge to
drink the poison an faithfully as had
his dead antagonist ; and the seconds
protested that they hnd only "tlpno
their duty in seeing the ducMnirly
fought out according to the conditions
settled boforohnnd > "
