Tliery is no doubt tbut many singu lar tilings occur aa we journey through life, and he lixikud us though, memory wan struggling -with sonio sucl feature of his existence. He sijfb etl us be continued: 1 remember as though il were yestet-tluy the murch. of Hill's corps along the winding Shenandoah up to the famous Luruy gap V bo could ever forget that march! The road winding with tho ueaiiioni river, unu ovurnung with a uiu.jr.-iic chain of Ulue Uidgo inoiin lains, while across Hie erysuil water the ti::':'niiicenl vulley, with its charmii::; cottages dotling tlie hounte ous I., ml v. lin bite liko balls of snow ropi"! .;.

But the most eu-gaM::.- ! lovely objtwto paled into insiiM nee beside the H?erless wo men .i I .I.- blessed country, and you ma;. il believe that when the camp was -irueii Hie wildiers lost no time in Dial. i ini ii way to the surrounding coil. :',inii the inusie of tho vio lin v. : tit :. id and s! milling feel kept timi : i tie music, while, for a til no, tlie w.Mc i s lace was lit with old time joy M one ol these cottages the hello of tin- viiiiej ii'igned supreinu, while cevi-ial souiliei-ii soldiers vied with each other in paying homage to tho queen Among others were two youii" soldiers one I mm Georgia und Ihe ot. n i Iioiii Mississip)i who were spcciall;, energetic in their attentions, and inai keu had this become that those pit-sent watched tho play with constantly increasing interest, fully believing thai both exhibited a case of love at lirst sight. This sunniso on tiie part ol those present was ouly too title, us the tragic event which follow ed fully proved. The Ueorgiun seemed to huve tlie lead on tho Mfasissippian, and when the dancers were culled to take their places he led tho bello of the vulley to u place in the set. At this point the Mississippiau was seen to upproaeh tho couple and heard to claim the Italy's hand for tho dance. An alU reulioii ensued, but both wero cool, brave soldiers-- two of tho best ahot.s in thearmy wbodid not believe hi u war of words. So it was ended by JlieUeorgian dancing with the ludvand flip significant reiniii k of the Missis aippiiiii, "J will see yon ufter tills sot." V In-ii the ilaiico was pver (.ho Ueor gian was seen to seek tho Mlssissip pian, and together they called each a trie ml from the crowd and departed. When oulsiilu both claimed that an iiiKiilJ. hail been ptLSsi.'d which could only he wiped put in tho blood of (,hc other, and that u duel to the death should be arranged at once. A full moon was iiisv appearing ui ilxwe tho tell you this talk of blood in the si lenco of the night wits anything but pleasant, jso iirgutiiont, however, won Itl avail with liicso men, so it was arranged that tlie duel should take place on top of Blue Hidgo, near the center of the road that passes through the gap; that the weapons should bo pistols at til' teen paces, and to lire nt or between tho words, "one. two, tiii'i.i, " llrjiig fo coutiuuo until one or both were dead. The point was reached, tho ground measured oil', and tho men took their positions without a tremor. Tho moou gliod its pale light on u soeno never to be forgotten. A moment or two, and tho silence was broken by tho signal: "One, two, three." At tlo word "ono" the report of two pistols rung out on the midnight air, but tho principals inniiilaiiicil their respective positions. The Georgian's left arm was seen to drop closer to his side, but the Mis sissippiau was immovable, and still held his pistol to the front. Again a Eistoi snot was hea.nl, coming from io Ucorglnn, and thg Mississippian till held his position, but did not lire. The Georgian protested that ho hud not come thero to murder him, but no answer was returned. Tho Mis lissippian'ssecond approached his prill cip.-il and found liiin dead, shot through the eye on tho llrst discharge of the, weapon. Heath, it seems, hod been instantaneous, so much so as not even todisturh his equilibrium. I may lorgel some things, but tho midnight duel on the top of a spur of tho lilue Ridge, with its utlcudant circum stauees, is not one of them. Detroit Free Hross. "KffliiR ' P a Skeleton. Dr. .lames Kurd, one of tho pioneers of Wabash, lud., reports tho finding of a skeleton on his residence lot in Ibis city The bones were struck while workmen were enuraged in uiakiuirex cavations for a sewer, und wero about twenty inches below tho surface in compact clay soil.
