The Story of the Duel Between Ham ilton and Bur. The story of the Hamilton-Burr duel is tragic in its brevity: The little party of five the principals, their seconds and the surgeon was on the ground not long af ter sunrise. The prelimi naries were soon arranged. As Pen dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him bis pistol, he asked, "Will you have the hairspring set?" ; "Not this time," was the significant reply, and then the men faced each other. According to the best authorities up on a disputed subject, Burr fired at the word. At the report, Hamilton started forward with a convulsive movement, reeled, involuntarily discharging his pistol into the foliage above Trim, and fell headlong. Burr, with an expres sion of pain upon his' face, sprang to ward him, but Van Ness, his second, seized him by the arm and hurried him down the bank and into their boat Hamilton; being lifted hp, revived for a moment and gasped, "This is a mortal wound, . doctor!" Relapsing again into unconsciousness he was again revived by the fresh air of the river. "Pendleton knows," he said. trying to turn toward his friends, "that I did not intend to fire at him." At 12 the afternoon following he had breathed his last Monster Bowl of Punch. In 1094 Admiral Edward Russell, commander of the English Mediterra nean fleet, entertained 6,000 people in a large garden in Alicante, where he served the largest bowl of punch ever brewed. 'It contained twenty gallons ot lime Juice, four hogsheads of brandy, one pipe of Malaga wine, twenty-five hundred lemons, thirteen hundred weight of fine white sugar, three pack ages : of toasted biscuits, fifty-one pounds of grated nutmegs and eight hogsheads of water. The whole was prevented from dilu tion In case of rain by a large canopy, which spread over a marble fountain bowl which held the punch.. The punch was served by a boy, who rowed about the basin of the fountain in a boat built for the purpose and refilled the empty cups. Two Scotch Stories.' A Scotch schoolmaster in Banffshire years ago had strong views on the sub ject of dress. In the day when crino line was the rage a girl came to school with a very extensive one, which much exceeded the space between the desk and the form on which she had to sit The teacher, seeing this, said to her, "Gang awa' home and tak' off thae girds (hoops) and ' come back to the school as God made ye." Another, rough, -and ready dominie was examining his boys in a catechism and asked if God had a beginning. "No," said the boy. "Will he have an end?" "Yes," he replied. . This was followed Instantly by. a buffet on the side of the head. , "Will he have an end noo?" "No," said the boy, and the master was satisfied. -' .
