"Whilo speaking of romnnco and beauty, I have an authontio account of bow n noted Loufuvillu be lo lirt met lit r huslmnJ, which sounds more like fiction than matter of fact. About thirty-five years ago tiie land eg of a steamboat carrying passengers wits con sidered a social event ol some impor tance, not only because tlrs as the chief mode of travel where navigation made it possible, out because the superb boats that then plied up anjl dow n the Mississippi were floating palaces aud carried on board constantly the most br.Uiuut crowds of sociely people. The time spent on the water was passed iu dauciug, feasting and flirting, and on tho occasion of which 1 uui speaking an unusually guy nil. I dis tinguished party were on their way to St. Louis.' The party included some of the most famous beaux of the day, and the bulla of the trip was a well-known Louisville Leant;.-. It seems that the Louisville girl reached her destination fancy free, l or, as the boat drew up to the landing uc 1 tho crowd on shore surged down to the water's edge to secure a glimpse of the new-comers, Miss , who was lean ing over the guards, becamo absorbed in watching tho movements of a gentle man by the gangway. He was tail and elegantly looking and strik ingly handsome. Miss did nut know his name, nor if lie were benedict or ta'liulor, but conviction suddenly seizod ber, and, turning to a companion, she said impressively: "There (pointing oiu tho gentleman in question; stands the man whom 1 will marry." lu an incredibly short period iftiiuo she did marry him; but the cream of the story lies in the fact that he bad made a precisely similar romark in regard to her on first boholding the fair Louisvillian as sho stood, sur rounded by her admirers, on tho steamer. . Military Hueliiig In Auatrlu. Loudon Turn. A warm discussion is going on in Vienna newspapers in connection with the case of an oilicer recently dismissed from the army for refusing to light a duel. Two young men named Hintner and Mori, both lieutenants in tho re serves, and both attending lecture in the University of Orati, met last Octo ber at a railway station. Mori made use of some offensive expression, which liintner thought was intended for him snlf. He aske.l Mori if it was so, a Ki th lit if it wa or if the expression was repeated, he would box bis ears. Mori sa. d it was intonded for another person, and tho incident ended. Four weeks later Mori sent Lis boc onds to Hintner, calling on him for a written apology and withdrawal of tho words, otherwise challenging him to tight a duel, liintner refused to with draw his words; he also "refused absolutely to tight a duel, because it was against his religion, against reason and conscience, and also dueling was forbidden both by tho civil and the military law." Hereupon the matter was brought before a court of honor, consisting of superior oflicers of the Fourteenth Army corps. 1 lie decision of this court was "approved" and pub lished on the Jan. 12, and simply recites that "Josef Hintner, Lieutenant in the Reserve of the Tyrolese Jager regiment of the r niperor J: ranz-Josef is charged w.th "absolute refusal of a duel, and the sentence is that the accused be deprived of his commission and rank." This sentence, it appears, becomes forthwith operative. I du't Want Any. Detroit Free Press. j A colored man who had a slight ac quaintance with one oi thettall-koepers at the Central market hung around for half an hour the other day bofore say ing: "See yere, boss, I wants to ax ye a queshun or two." "All right." "I kin git my household furnicher in sured for HOO." "Yes." "An' it won't cost but $3." "Well." "Wall, 'spose 1 had dat furnicher in sured an' do house should catch fiahau' ebcryting burn up V" "Jn that caso, my colored brother, you'd be jerked into jail so quick that your head wouldn't have timo to swim, and from the jail you'd go to state prissn for at least ton years." "What fur?" "Why, for sotting the fire," "Am dat possible? Wall, Ize werry much obleeged to yer, an' lze made up tny mind to save de $3 an' let de go." The Myalery Cleared I'p. Cliiouso Herald. 1 Many visitors to Statuary hall, in the cap'tol, at Washington, have noticed that in the statue of Washing ton, contributed by Virgin a, both the upper and the lower lips bulgo out into undue prominence a id givo tho ex pression a rather curious cast. A na tive Virginiun, while in Washington the other day, cleared up the niytery as follows: "I don't bcliovo f iat it has ever been in print before, but the real reason why these features are distorted is that a short time before his death Washington used a double set of false teeth. They were made in Paris on gold plates, but they did not fit h'm. As a consequence, whoa he died they were in his mouth, and as I said, they bulged the lips out. '1 he plaster cast faithfully reproduced this distortion." Ole Unll'is Dauxhtrr.
