was the last song of tlip evening. The
"gift enterprise" part of the performance
Wasn't an astonishing big thing, and so
far as we could learn not a single sewing
machine or velocipede was drawn by any
of our folks but the breast pins, finger
rings, lockets, chains, etc., of the most
"jorgious" type, were flung out profusely.
The lecture announced for Sundays eve

the lecture wc did hear, in the language
of the lady, we can truthfully say, " we

"Barstow Cook," that has the reputation
of being superior in every respect to any
stove ever built. However, they have a
good assortment of everything kept in a
first-class stove store, which they are de

been looking for.
Circus. Wilson's circus performed
here on tho night of the 17th to a full
canvass. The general character of the
performance was better than we have
yet seen on the coast.-' The "tumbling,
trapez,' slack wire, and other perform
ances, were not to be "sneezed at." That
little business with the lions we don't go
a cent on, as it generally produces more
fear than pleasure among the audience.
The general opinion seems to be that" it
was the best circus that ever exhibited
her.
Mistakes. "Mistakes will occur in
the best regulated families' is a saying
as old as the "oldest inhabitant," and is
recognized as true of everybody. In the
harry of last week, in giving the names
of the "Soliciting Committee" for Linn
county, wo unintentionally omitted the
name of Mrs. L E. Blain, who is Treas
nrer of the Committee. We are glad to
. hear that the ladies are meeting with
good success. Wit is a praiseworthy ob
ject, and all who have to spare wil
doubtless give willingly when called on.
Accident. At the velocipede school,
on Tuesday night, Willie Mansfieia had
the misfortune to get th third finger of
the right hnd' broken, and the thumb
badlf jammed. The accident was
caused by some of the larger boys get

of them being pushed from the platform,
raised for seat in sr lady visitors, fell on

Personal. Rev. E. R. Geary intends
uukius up uia resiaenco in this city, we
learn.
The early dissolution of Parliament in
184-, by releasing 1113 from editorial
labors, enabled me to accent the invita
tion ot
to
invitor beyoud the circumstance, of his
having. ' been highly recommended by
parties well versed in the world of con
tinental polities, and, next, ef his sus
taining this recommendation by a scries
of vigorous articles full of early informa
tion relative to Italian movements --the
revolution was then hi progress full of
uurescrved denunciations against Aus
trian , and rltfttJy- tloaiinations, and
equally full of hopeful anticipations of
what then appeared to most lit iiisjj poli
ticians to be a mere geographical ex
pression the ''unification of Italy."
The character of the contributions
fiery, martial, uncompromising led me
to idealize the contributor as of Titanic
proportions. My astonishment was gen
uniue when I saw that he was a man of
puny proportions, with nothing in his
externals to lead you to suppose that his
veins were filled with aught but the milk
of human kiudness I take it for granted
there is such a liquid except a pair of
dark eyes that occasionally glittered like
a rattlesnake's. .
A week passed quite pleasantly. My
host, though known to me as Dr. Doris,
in reality was of the old Milanese no
bility; the palazzoDt , iu the Corso,
was his ancestral mansion, let cut for
economical reasons to the Austrian gen
eral who commanded at Milan. Dr.
Dorris, to use an inelegant but expres
sive phrase, was "back and edge" Italian.
Filled with unconcealed aspirations for
his country's speedy emancipation from a
foreign yoke, and working strenuously
witn lus pen to tnat end, he was a
marked man, more especially on account
of his high connections, which, although
denuded of their .ouce splendid patri
mony and power, still carried a certain
sway.
My week having ended, I prepared to
take leave of my fiiend, and I invited
him to a farewell dinner at his favorite
cafe, named Marengo. The dinner was
good, the wine excellent, and my friend,
who- spoke English wonderfully well,
opened his heart unreservedly, as there
was little chance of the conversation
being understood, even should a evy be
lurking within car-shot.
After this we went to the magnificen
theater La Scala. It was more than
eommonlv crowded, in consequence of
new candidate for the position of prima
donna. J he box or my friend was on
the' second tier ; we made up the stone
staircase with some difficulty ; here our
further progress was impeded by the
narrow passage being filled with people
looking tor accommodations, and in par
ticular by an officer in the Austrian
uniform, whom I immediately recognized
as a great duelist, aud against whom my
mend entertained rather hostile views
In order to pass, it was necessary for my
friend to touch the officer's elbow, which
he did with perfect politeness, and
"Pardon, Monsieur"; Italians and Aus
trians of the better class usually speak
French theonly response to which was
by the officer squaring his huge frame
still more unaccommodatingly. , My
friend made a second effort, this time at
tempting with gentle . force to push him
self between tho officer and the? balus
trade. The officer looked around 6uper
ciliooely, and pressed his arm so rudely
against my friend as to thrust bim
against the wall. My friend, for a man
just vowed forever to peace, looked
strangely warlike. Making a sudden
effort, he bent down the officer's arm
and passed him rapidly, in doing which
be trod, I tear intentionally, on the offi
cer's feet a compliment which was re
turned by a vigorous kick from the offi
cer's heavy military boot,
The pain and public indignity drew
trom my mend a sham and wolfish
snan : indeed, tor the moment, he re
sembled nothing so much as a wolf, with
his lips drawn .; tightly back, and his
gleaming teeth exposed; then springing
at his assailant, he clinched his . ample
whiskers with one hand, and .with the
other buffeted him on the face repeatedly.
1 he attack was executed with. such ra
pidity that the officer had no time to
take measures for the defense of his
person ; but when the blows rained on
his face, and the blood flowed, he became
perfectly . mad with rage. Stamping
furiously, with a deep oath, he seized
my friend in his sinewy arms, and hold
ing him as easily as a cat would a mouse,
he backed down the passage until he
came to the open staircase, when, lifting
him high in the lair, he prepared to dash
him on Ihe marble 'floor beneath a fall
that must haveresulted in frightful mutil
ation or instant death. But his purpose was
frustrated by the spectators,myself among
the number, throwing themselves on him,
and, after a fierce struggle, rescuing the
ittle doctor from his errp- '1 fie guard,
attracted by the turmoil, made their ap
pearance, and, for the time, further hos
tilities wcro impossible. I lost sight of
my friend for a few minutes ; he then
rejoined me," and having lamented tho
unlucky encounter that had unexpectedly
marred our entertainment, proffered me
his pass, which I declined ; he then so
licited liic to return to 'the cafe and wait
I acceded j to his request, and,
having opened a claret cup well iced, sat
i lor some time meditating on the prooable
j issue of the event. '
j My fiieud at last came in, and ad
dressing me, said : "I must beg of you. a
personal favor- to prolong your stay in
Milan a week. You have seen ine
kicked," looking like a demon, " yes,
kicked by the hoof, of a' German, pig.
Yotrmust witness the mode. in which I
shall cancel the debt." -'
I think you have already pretty well
balanced matters," I replied. If the
Austrian used, his foot, you repaid the
obligation amply, by spoiling his-handsome
-face with your fist."
'The stain of a kick is only effaced by
blood, Everything is arranged for a
meeting next Week. It can't take place

Tj consented, and accompanied my

.The hall was" hung around with foil
breast -plates, masks, and all the usual
furniture of a place where assaults, both
with sharps and blunts, were customary.

ered man, of martial aspect, with arms
bared to the elbow, displaying a mass
of muscle seemingly as tough a

"It is not play ; it is something serious
1 come to you about. Jhia way, old
friend, and let me explain."
They retired to a distant part of the
room, aud my friend, in a few words,
stated what had occuired. ,
Ihe Professor's face wore a look of
concern.
' "The Austrian will insist on the duel
a V entrance, I feac"
"My unalterable determination is that
it shall be so. I have a week to get up

"Why come to me ? Your challenger

"I prefer to come to you

"I promise, on my honor, to obey them
implicitly.
- "Come then ; you will have to fight
with broadswords. Put on mask and
breast-plate, and let me see what you
can do
. Master and pupil, being properly at
tired, commenced to play.
; My friend exhibited an amount of
agility and skill I was unprepared for.
The master watched his play closely,
contenting uimselt with parrying blows
and thrusts delivered with much spirit
ana artistic bkiu. i
The bout was over.
"Well, Professor, does your pupil dis
grace you ?" i
"Your play has some pretty things for
the fencing school. They must all be
discarded with that Austrian. Attend
first, discharge from your eyes all that
passion which enables an adversary to
master your intentions : next, tako to this
guard and keep it. .
Ihe .Professor threw himself in an at
titude once a favorite among the Scot
tish gentlemen of the sword, but now
neglected by -fencers of the modern
school. I believe it is termed the hang
ing guard. 1 f j
My friend imitated the Professor.
"Not en quarte, but en second e ? your
sword hand higher than your head, with
sloping point ; your left brought in front
ready to parry. Good ! You have now
the surest guard you can use ; you make
a strong cross on your opponent s sword,

"Am I not to assault?" , '

"AncTnow for your weapon," said the
Professor, or cuing a closet and producing
a sword. "I have the. measure of. the
Austrian's eword. This one is the exact
length."
The sword, at a cursory glance, looked
a very unpromising-weapon to defend a
man's life. My fiiend evidently thought
so, tor he examined it with a dismayed
look..
"Why," said he, "it's hardly more
than a lark split. The Austrian uses a
Konigsberg blade, double the width and
weight of this toy."
I know it; but this toy, as you term
it, surveying -the weapon fondly from
heel to point, "has qualities that, in proper
hands, will prove more than a match for
he best sword ever forged in Germany,
't is a real Seville blade nothing better
iu the world. See," placing it length
wise on his finger, " how admirably it is
balanced ; notice the hilt, close "barred
and crossed no fear of wounds on the
sword hand ; then, its temper," severing
a large nail on which breast-plates were
hung. - "Look again," pressing the point
againt the wall until it met the hilt ;
then, releasing the weapon, the blade
instanaly returned to its normal condi
tion. "And this last," striking the
blade flat on an iron anvil, with 'all his
force, "there, that alone is a test which I
defy eve 11 the famous Konigsberg sword
to undergo. - Enough for this night.
Come early to-morrow for your lesson."
When we quitted the Professor, the
doctor obtained from me a promise that
I would not leave Milau until the result
of the do J was determined, and that I i
would accompany him to the field.
We wcrtj about to part one night,
when he said quietly : " To-morrow
morning, at fivf o'clock, two carriages
will bo at the ramparts, one for nsclf
and second, and the other, for the sur
geon and master, Di Prati. You will
pass muster as aurgef-n. Let me entreat
you to make no objection : the details
have already been finally arranged. My
opponent is provided in a similar way ;
he and his second in one carriage, and
Dc Lianeourt and a real surgeon in the
other."
At five o clock I found myself j in tho
carriage with Professor Di Prati.
Ihe place ot com oat was to be near
Monga just beyond the Milan territory
-there were reasons fortius which need
not be particularized.
Ihe morning was cold and cheerless.
feint and a second thrust were foiled in
the same way. Another feint, converted
into a real attack, was adroitly baSed.
The officer's color rose the eyes of tho

that of his" tcacber were .at

and discharged a blow at" the head with

and when we alighted, which was in
about two hours, the day had not bright
ened. All parties got out of their car
riages, and the toes saluted each other
briefly. I noticed the murderous look in
tho Austrian s eyes, and gavo up my
friend for lost. Without a word bem
spoken, we walked on until we came to
an open space, smooth, but plippery with
the morning dew. - lhis was the spot se
lected by the two seconds, who, appar
ently accustomed to such scenes, went
about their duties in a steady, business
like manner.

My mend, seeing the hghting eosrame
adopted by the officer, threw off his blaek
silk vest, as if resolving that be would
not even have a questionable advantage.
In size, he looked a mere dwarf to his
athletio opponent ; long, thin, wiry arms,
chest narrow, skm almost as dark as a
mulatto's, . and with a grayish tinge,
either the effect of cold or - fear, that, to
my eyes, appeared to be the forerunner
of doom. '"'
The seconds having laid down the
swords,, with the hilts toward each com
batant, retired and gave the signal.
The duelists picked up the swords, my
friend at once betaking himself to the
new guard. ' '
The ofScer for moment looked with
by a thrust under guard, was only par
ried by the rapid use of the left hand,
thi time uot without mischief, for blood
was seen to flow from the - hand called
into requisition. .The officer, in making
this last thrust, owing fo tho slippery
ground, had given an opening which my
friend, in spite of the previous precau
tion of his instructor, prepared to take ad
vantage of. This circumstance was noticed
by Di Prati, who frowned ominously and
muttered between his teeth, "If he break
guard, he is lost bah I bravo 1 bravo I"
'ihe words of approval were drawn from
him by noticing what had happened.
The last thrust, I have said,' brought the
officer just barely within range. By a
dexterous movement of the wrist, the
point of my friend's sword was drawn
swiftly across the officer's chest. The
temper and keenness of the Moorish
weapon, were now clearly proved, for the
toucn, ngnt as it appeared, laid open
flesh and muscle to the bone, from the
left shoulder sheer across the bust,
causing a deluge of. blood to flow. The
officer, finding himself severely wounded,
became crimson with rage. Curbing his
passion, be prepared to execute his
favorite maneuver, which had always
hitherto proved fatal to his opponents.
He advanced on my friend, and making a
strong cross of Ifis sword, put forth his
wonderful power of wrist.
My attention was called . off for a
momcntlto Di Prati, who drew his hand-,
kerchief, held it for a moment, and sud
denly dropped it.
Not a moment too soon. The officer
had made his open attack and delivered a
thrust full at the body of my friend,
wboj l.avag.jseeD the handkerchief drop,
bnnight'liis "left hand again into play.
This time two fingers fell to the ground.
The next instant a terrific yell assured
me that something fatal had occurred.
La rispostc had been given iny friend's
sword was buried deeply in the lower
part of the officer's body. The officer,
instinctively feeling that his wound was
mortal, seized the sword with one hand,
and shortening his own, made a desper
ate lunge, only to be warded off by my
friend quitting hold of his sword and
leaping back out of reach. ; Tho force
and thrust carried tho officer forward,
and he fell prone, forcing his opponent's
sword into his body up to the hilt.
The officer cast one look of mingled
rage and hate at my friend, his last look
on earth, and as he turned convulsively
on his back, his eyes closed in death. 1
Tho whoie party rushed forward. The
surgeon drew forth the' sword,-and then
lifted the dead - man and placed him
against a tree. .' -' .v.
It was a sight of awe that form only
a low minutes before so instinct with
life, health, and vital energy, now a clod,
with a tearful gash across the body, and
