Origin of Attar of R0303. (
The preparation of the famous nttnr ,
of roses, according to the Circle, seems
to have boon discovered by accident. '
From India we get the tradition. Tho
favorite Sultana of Sdhaughlr caused a
bath of rojwvater to bo prepared for
her use. Tho burning sun of India
brought its might upon tho bath pro
pared in tho royal garden and soon
globules of oil were found floating up
on tho fragrant water. Deeming tho
bath impure and ut temp ling io skim 1
off the film, tho attendants broke 'the I
globules, and at once the garden was
filled with frasrance. The finest es
sence is not gathered from tho rarest j
and most costly flowers, for the fra
grant oil glands are. most abundant In
the petals of the free blooming, old,
common kinds. ,
M.ichiavelli. ,
NIcolo Machlavelli, from whose snr
namo has been coined a synonym for
treacherous craft, was a writer of
nervous and concise Italian. Ho, took
high rank as a dramatist, his comedy
of "Mandragola" being pronounced In
ferior only to the work of VoJUIro.
Leo X. admired It so much that ho
had It played before him in Rome.
His book on the "Art of War" won the
prni6o of so competent n judge as
Frederick tho Great of Pius3la. His
policy In statesmanship embodied in
his work "Tho Prince" was the direct
antithesis of Washington's sentiment
that "howebty is tho best policy."

DUELING lMTHENAVYi
The Tragic Affair That Put an
End to the Practice.
A MIDSHIPMAN'S CHALLENGE.
It Was Accepted by the Lawyer, and
the Battle Was Fought In Delaware.
Sad Fate of tho Two Principals In tho
Unfortunate Meeting.
That settlement of quarrels by appeal
to tho code of honor was no longer to
bo the unwritten law of the American
navy was determined by a duel In
whicli William Miller, Jr., a Philadel
phia lawj cr, was slain Inu personal
affair fought along tho northern circle
of Delaware. The man who 'fired tho
fatal shot was Midshipman Charles G.
Huutcr, and the encounter took place
along Naaman's creek on the afternoon
of Sunday, March 21, 1S30.
Singularly enough, neither Miller,
Who lost ids life, nor Hunter, who kill
ed him, was principal in the original
quarrel that led to the meeting 011 the
bank of the little creek In Delaware.
Neither had seen the other until a few
hours before tho challenge was sent
nnd accepted.
Simply a mlsshot In a game of bil
liards played at Third and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia, led to the tragedy
that plunged two homes Into sorrow
and Imbittcred tho life of the man
whose pistol shot causelessly shed hu
niau blood. ,
Henry Wharton Griffith and R. Dil
lon Drake, prominent society men of
Philadelphia, played the game of bil
liards, aiid Griffith made the mlsshot
which called forth a taunt from Drake,
who was Immediately struck In the
face with a cue by Griffith. A chal
lenge to n duel was sent by Drake, but
Griffith declared that the challenger
was beneath his notlco nnd that hi
would not demean himself socially bv
consenting to meet him.
Then followed a long nnd wordy war
faro hi which each posted tho other n
a coward. Lieutenant Duryce of thp
United States navy was called to mako
an effort to settle the dispute, and it
was then that Miller, tho lawyer, and
Hunter, tho midshipman, became In
volved In tho quarrel. In the heated
discussion Hunter accused Miller of
publishing a confidential letter, and a
challenge was at once sent by the mid
shipman and accepted by the attorney.
It was decided that the duel should
bo fought early 'on Sunday morning ot
March 21, but it was nearly 10 o'clock
before carriages containing the princi
pals, seconds and surgeons loft a houso
that stood on Chestnut street above
Sixth. The presence of the company
excited some suspicion at Chester,
where the party stopped for lunch, but
lliey hurried down the post road, tied
their horses close to the highway and
proceeded 200 yards behind 11 clump of
trees that would shield them from ob
servation. As tho sun was sotting two pistol
shots rang out simultaneously as one
of the seconds counted "One, two, three
fire!" Hunter stood unharmed as the
ball from his opponent's pistol struck
at his feet, but Miller cried out that
ho was shot, placed one hand on his
breast and fell with a bullet lying
close to his heart. In a few minute
ho died, while palo and anxious face?
watched tho convulsive breathing of
the dying man.
"Gentlemen," snid Hunter, "I had no
enmity against this man. I nevei
heard of him until two days ago. Let
those whoso quarrel embroiled him be
responsible for his death."
After a hurried consultation It was
decided that the midshipman should
leave tho state at once, and ho was
driven rapidly to New Castle, Del.,
where he boarded a boat for Now York
and rejoined tho navy. In order to
hide tho tragedy It was decided to wait
until dark and take Miller to Philadel
phia In a carriage.
Seating the dead man between them,
two seconds held him In nu upright
position on the long journey to Phila
delphia. News of tho duel had reached
Chester, and a crowd of men stood at
Third street bridge to intercept tho
carriages. The first buggy contained
the surgeon, ami, as his explanation
was satisfactory, ho was permitted to
proceed. The dead man in the second
carriage was driven through tho crowd
without tho ruso being detected, and
at midnight the body was placed In a
houso In Walnut street, where vigil
was kept by tho seconds, who drank
heavily to support them In tho terrible
strain under which they had been
placed.
Miller's father sad that ho held no
malice against Hunter, but the mid
shipman, who was suspended for a
year for punishment, was haunted by
tho specter of the dead man lying on
tho bank of Naaman's creek, slain by
his hand, and died a prematurely old
man after a lonely life, shut oft from
all hopo of preferment In tlie navy. Ho
was burled by tho newspaper men of
Now York, who erected a tombstono
over his grave. Philadelphia Ledger.

1 unusual phenomenon was witnessed

' by those who were not wrapped In

glanced skyward. A hugo rainbow
circled from tho north to tho south of
, the city, but It was without colors.
Mrs. Thomas Dlmmick saw tho pho-
I nomenon. She says that tho stars
were shining and that tho moon was
I still shining in tho west. Thero was
I no sun, as It was before daylight,
1 and yet this hugo rainbow stretched
across tho sky, more tho color of tho
moon than anything else. This Is

witnessed such a sight on Coos Bay
