' ' " Boston Transcript. A Xol XTttn Hansom Cab. There have been duels with pistols and 'With broadswords and with pike staves aad with stilettos and with tarantulas and with boding bronchos, but it" hasj renamed for Willie Wilde and the Mar quis de LeuviHe to fight a duel with han om cabs and cab horses, his is the only rsaeonable explanation of the lamenta ble incident upon the streets qf London Friday. Thesis two men have been more or lees intimate with a well known wom an. One of them, in fact, has been her husband for a few months. Their re lations to each other became bo strained that honor demanded that blood ehonld be shed. So the duel was arranged. To avoid police interference hansom cabs were selected, and each man was to ride la the cab selected by the other. The marquis entered Willie's cab, and ao wisely had the IprtgrnHn of the sun flower prophet chosen that his rival was moo. thrown to the pavement The stones broke the bridge of his nose, and the horse kicked him in the side and broke one of his ribs. Willie escaped un harmed. This incident illustrates again the ingenuity of the English. Duel in Prance never end except with the best feeling on both sides. There is no desire to hurt any one. If we must have duels, let us follow the example of the Pari eia2.s. The hansom cab is too dangerous and erratic a weapon to be handled care lately. Brooklyn Eagle. The Seaaon of Sfeaanav This is the season of shams. Houses are closing, but in how many of them are there back rooms where the family will live for the next two months and in the fall tell of social triumphs at Bar Harbor or Newport. Then again, small boarding houses in remote country towns will be filled to overflowing by those forced to economize, who upon their re turn to town will tell of their stay in large and fashionable hotels, thinking that their status depends upon making others believe the fibs they tell. Why can't every one be honest and come right out with the truth?

A group of gentlemen were gathered about the desk engaged in earnest en deavors to figure out a mathematical problem brought over by a prominent young member of tha New York bar, who stands to lose (100 on a wager if his own solution is wrong. Here it is: A column of troops 25 miles long is or dered to a pain "23 miles distant A courier starts simultaneously with the rear of the column and reaches the- head thereof. Returning, he meets the. ej of the column at the point Where the head originally was. Both the troops and the courier are' to travel at a uni form rate of speed. How many miles does the courier traverse? It looks simpla. The young New York er said it was simple and that it didst taSe a mathematical sharp, to figure that the courier journeyed eviea 66 rnlks. Tba man who mads the bef with him m a Philadelphia!!, and b called in Professor thunder, a teacher of inathematicsvisid to be the greatest expert in the Quaker City. The professor figured at it awhile and said -'it- traa plain Chat tbs ouortsr covered over SO miles, bet just how much more he wouldn't undertake-to say off hand. The man from Gothssi t?$a bo4 satis fied with the1 PfeUsSs&Bfcfessor's conclusion, so on feaobj&if Washington he hunted up Professor George Hill, the clerk to the house irrigation ccoxsittee and and expert in mathematics, who in turn referred him to Protepor, Wood ward of Use coast and geodetic survey. His answer was sent in and appeared at the bottom of a long sheet of algebraic equations. It was COJJ miles. . And still the New Yorker is not satisfied. Before giving up the $100 he is going tc have the opinion of the professor of mathematics of Columbia college. It will take no less an authority than that to shake his be lief in the correctness of his own cipher ing, which, he admits, was not done with the help of quadratic equations. Wash ington Post. The Derby as a "One Dorse" Race. For a fortnight or more before the Derby everybody who talked or read about the subject must have become wearied of the expression that it would be a "one horse race." tt may be well, however, to realize the fact that the Der by appears to be becoming a one horse in stitution, for at the start for the last eight Derbies odds have been laid on the favorite with the single exception of last year, when the merest shadow of odds (11 to 10) was laid against La Fkehe. Before the race of Wednesday it seemed reasonable to inquire whether hWig these so called certainties for the seven previous Derbies had proved profitable. The reply was that if the sum had been invested on the favorite in every instance the gains would have about counterbal anced the losses, so that the backer would have "had his fun for nothing," although he would only have earned that unsatisfying reward for his arduous la bors. On the other hand, if he had nut the same sum on each of the favorites for the seven Derbies ixnrnediaiUy pre ceding the one horse Derby period he would have been a considerable loser. So after all there is something to be said in favor of the one horse race. London Saturday Review. An Odd Insurance Policy. Last year a firm in the illnrninvnn line were heavy losers through the death of the Duke of Clarence, as they had made very extensive nreriarations fr.r th celebration of his marriage. In ordc xuard against any repetition of their loss the firm has just made an insurance at Lloyd's "against the marri Duke of York," the premium paid being I b .iab i.-o v w ionaon let ter. Smallest Hair Thrown a Shadow. EDENTON, N. C FfilDAY, July 14, 1893. Loyalty by Intlmidstton. There is a growing opinion in the provinces that the wedding present busi- , ness in connection with tbs royal mar- ; riage is being carried too far. Regard ing voluntary gifts, there is nothing to i be said, but more than one case has come j to my knowledge where a large employ- j er of labor has been putting pressure on ! his workpeople to contribute toward f BUivo iKxau. xuuu lur jjrtrseuuug lucrvja couple with a piece; of plate. However ill the employees can afford the shilling or two which is squeezed out of them, they have no option but to comply. Now this is obviously not the way to engender respect for the monarchy. U is a complete reversal of the ancient custom of feasting the people on the oc casion of a royal marriage. The nation pays quite heavily enough now for the luxury of an ornamental roy al family without being indirectly taxed in this manner. If the Unknot York and his bride elect wish to gain the re- j spset of the people, they will some day be- called upon to rule, they cannot do better than to refuse to accept an pres ents except those which come from pri vate individuals, corpOTatfcros or similar bodies. It is time to put afstori 'id itseee disgi aceftil attempts by plutocrats to curry f or wiO th' royal family and so obtain knighthoods, baronetcies and whatnot. London Figaro. ; Delaware Little Delaware's state finances are in a thoroughly thrifty condition, her as sets exceeding her liabilities by nearly 200,000. Her debt could be entirely wiped out at once but for the fact that some long term bonds cannot be advan tageously called in. The state many years ago chartered several farmer?' banks, all of which are now prosperous, and in these the state has considerable capital invested. The par value of the state's holdings in bank 6tock is just short of $390,000, and the market value is a trifle over $475,000. The state ex penses, not including school appropria tions, fall a little ehort of $200,000 per year. New York Sun. A Mistaken Trip. During the recent slump in all the in dustrial 6tocks two young salesmen of Boston were talking of the enormous shrinkages. One of them bad made some money in buying and selling the stock of the sugar company, and he said to the friend, "Buy sugar: it is oheap. and I think you 11 make some money on it, Acting on his advice, his friend purchased several dozen barrels of sugar and is holding it for a rise. Shoe and Leather Reporter. The Holy Lend Opea to Jew. A correspondent in Jerusalem inform us that the sultan's government has again licensed Jewish real estate brokers and purchasers to acquire landed prop erty in Palestine without being Mus sulmans and secures to all settlers the protection of the high porte and equal rights with the natives of the land. This opens that country again to foreign im migration and will attract thousands from Roumania, Russia and Morocco. American Israelite. Converting the Jtwi In Cnajland. During last yeui no less a dimi than 36,48? was subscribed in the country by infatuated enthusiasts toward the Utopian object of converting the Jews to Christianity. The annual report states that 12 ' -converted" Jews ere cjuAiUiti during the year, of whom, however, only five were adults. I It appears therefore that it costs about 3.040 to convert each Jew, but this is far too low an t-stimate, inasmuch as 7 out of the 12 were "infants. "-London Truth. Section in North Carolina.

Dr. K.ilas-furU r Ntw York fcefnre tL Harvard Graduating Ctaas, June 18. Here is an error. For man can exit! side by si'e vrith the saurian, and there is scientific ground for believing thr.t he was a contemporary of panrians which became extinct ages upon agys tigo. What we chiefly lt siiv to say ;;t this moment, however, is that we object to ; the habit in which mnny preachers, in- -eluding Dr. Ramsford, indulge of telling ! their hearers thai "God himself cannot" ' do something ov other. There is no mor- ' tal who knows of the divine power or j who can form any conception of it. It 1 i& infinite nnl eternal. Words which are beyond the coraprehensionof the human intellect. By looking through a tele scope Dr. Raiusford may behold some of the works of God which ho cannot com pass with reasoli or imagination, and he need not "look !eyond -th'e earth upon which he treads to behind others more than can be numbered. But even with those- instruments that search the heav ens and the earth man can form no idea, i gain no knowledge of the divine power. It wis Zophar. the Ksamnthite. who, in ancient time. put to Job that solemn question, "Canst thou by searching find outGod7H And again: "Ilfgh as heaven, what "canst tri6tt do? lieoper than hell, whatcanst thou kuow? Vain man would be wise, though he be horn like a wild ass' colt." ' We regard it as irreverent in the ex treme for any man to say, "(ol cannot." The words are blasphemous. New York Sun. National Bureau uf Health. The move of the Nov York Academy of Medicine for the establishment of a national bureau of health is a matter of nior Than ot iinary interest ana impor tance. The view taken by this reniesentative medical body of the metropolis is thnt the x"nblic health h a natior.al affair, to be dealt with by the nation rather than the several states. anl a matter which calls for the services of physicians rather than politicians. i This view has been embodied in a bill which take.- quarantine entirely out cf state control and politics and vests it in a federal administrative ljard of medic al men. The bill is to be present"! to congress when it next meets, and its enactment will be urgod, not only by the ; academy of this city, but also by co-op- ' erating medical societies throughout the country. Menaced as the nation may be at any ; time by cholera or some other epidemic, J it would seetu to be br.t the part of com mon prudence to hav the most efiivint and effective quarantine system that can i te devised. It cannot le claimed with any force that we have such a pyslrm now. The law passed last winter was n comproini&e. The quarantine -stablish -d bv it is a hvbnd affair. New York Her ald.
