I. a NHSCELLANY. f 1 DUELLING. - During the pericxl of ihe occupation of France by the allies of "Louis XVIII., in 1815, thi sjstem wa pursued extensiyeljr by the French officers. ;- Patriotism and a deep sense of injury perhaps palliated its atrocity. Day after dayt Prussi n and "Eng-lish officers would be grossly insulted ; by French men--voaJd send a cartel figrht and be carried on , regularly to Fere la Chaise. Some of Napoleoo's matins eTarmes made a business of killing their man each day. A story is told of one of them an old Capitaine Ducroc who bad slain his scores, and was never known to meet his match with the sword. He never sent a challenge, was always the aggressor, and pitilessly insisted on the right of choosing hia favorite weapon. I When he had not : found an adversary in the course of the day, he would enter the Cafe Foy, itt Par is, toward six : o'clock for dinner j and the ; waiters could tell by his face and the way he twirled his grizzly moustache tbal he was on the look-out for a xiuarrel. - Woe to him who gave him the least chance I One evening, there chanced to drop" into the same -cafe an ;Eng!ish officer named Gwynne. - He belonged to tbe army of oc cupation, but had only just returned to bis : . r . l ' i - i - t l l i f-- regiuueiit truio os iiouie, wnere ue uuu ueen kept a oiose prisoner by a wound received at Waterloo. . During his absence, bis brother had had the misfortune so be had heard to quarrel with Cnpitaine Ducroc, and to be killed by him in duel. . i - - Gwynne' eiuered the Cafe .Foy a ' few minutes before six, and sat dowrtnt a small vacant twble. A waiter started at the sight, and tunning; to the Englishman, observed, . withsome agitatioo, that that was Hhe Captain's table M What;" Captain, my friend " asked the' Englishman.. fOh (9 Capitaine Ducroc ln i answered the! waiter, pronourjclng the terriole name almost with . a feeling of awe. G Wynne's cheek flashed at the nitrne, but he merely observed that "this table was like all tbe others, seeming- ."it n 1 . j t .-c . L . . : - . 1 iy j suii, - tie s.Ho, 11 me vapttaiue insisieo upon It, he would doubtless satisfy him " f Oq, which he took up the newspaper and " began to read. . - . 1 . Almost at the same instant the door o - pened'and a heavy tread of spurred boots were heard approaching the tnble. i VVben at a fe w feet distance, He Capitairie" stopp ed. und surveyed the usurper with an tn- , -suiting smile. Gwynne b.oked calmly u him, but did not speak The Capitaine sni down at "the table ' close byand began to twirl his moustache. People - who knew . himunderstood the meaning of the gesture, - and gathered closer to- the redoubiable cnampionor t r ince They had not long to wait before he commenced operaljdna."- Stretching across suddenly, he seized the atnp 01 tb.e Englishman's table, and ,6natcbedsay away; while ?witlr the other hand he plucked the newspaper out of Gwynne' grasp. There, was a buzz in the; cafe at this gross insult, and one or two Englishmen present sprang to. their feet, and moved toward their countryman But he did not spek or move ; his face did not even show any apparent notice'of .the affront- ' , Le Capitaine read for a moment or two, then tnrning his chair so as to bring it close to the Englishman's table, he suddenly stretched out bis leg, and brought down tbe heel of his heavy . boot 00 Gwynne's foot. There was aDOther; bu2 .and tmtr, mur among the tottsommateurt but Gwynne contented himself with drawing his foot up, and folding; bis arms.' His countrymen g thered round hhn, evidently galled at his seeming indifference to the insult ; but he took no notice.; At last le Capitaine, after a long look at Ws antngonist, called to the waiter for a glass of brandy, When it was brouffht, ho raised the glass, and drank it, sayi g to Gwynne, " A, votre courage Ang Then slowly and leisurely the latter rose, fie was a n un of immense size and strength .With' one stride he stood beside the Frenchman ; then, grasping his mous tache with one hand and his chin with the other, he I wrenchedJhia Oiouth open and J spat down his ihroat. -J; v "Should Monsieur deem fit, be said, in h clrn, quiet voice, "to honor me with a call, there is rny card." So saying he left. the cafe. Needless to add, that his invita tion was not, accepted. .Ducroc never challenged the choice of weapons was es senlial to his safety., v SOMETHING OF A FAMILY. A correspondent of the Urbana (O.) Cu- tze-A writes from Bourbon- county, Ky., a- boul a family, as follows: The old gentleman is a native of Mary land, and . is now in his 70th, year ; was broqght to the State of Kentucky when quite young, and has raised bis family in the above county, consisting of six sons and three daughters. - v In the following table you have the height, weight and entire ages of the whole family:' fe . v 7 Height.

DEATH OP TUB OLDEST INHlBlTjLNX--l From. Ike Ltmisvillc Ky ) Conner "A&reAlO Louisville has lost by death her oldest inhabitant. Yesierday -died "01d Ben Duke," as he has been styled from- time immemorial, at the age of me hundred and ten, years eight numtks and lAree day$$ ' Th& "lecensed was u mun, of color, a native of Maryland, from which State he emigr'ated when Kentucky was a complete wilder ness and our city but a mere outpost on the frontier. All of those who were then resi ding in thi section of the State have long since passed away, wib thei forest ;t he aborigines, and the savage grandeurs of tamed Nature. Old 13en, however, survi ved niilre thau two Veneration, and wit nessed the progress of Louisville from the falling of the first tree in Bear Grass Val ley to the attainment of her present 'com manding pos'tion among the cities of the nation. .He was many years a reside'ht of Virginia, and itt the age of thirty entered the service of Washington, of whom he re? tained the liveliest recollections, always being happy when he could relate to young listeners the. story of his campaigning with the Father of the Country. With Revolu tionary incidents he was abundantly sup plied,; and. often fought his battles o'er, proud of Jbe" purt be had taken in freeing ihe country, although bat a man of color himself. His death was without a pang or a mo mem's sickness. Indeed, he had never known disease or a doctor, and on Satur day, the, day previous to his decease, he was out upon the streets as usual. He was an honest, upright man, a member of the Bnptist church, and known to be a .de vout christian. Yesterday morning there was prayer'meeting at his residence, and Hfter the service he walked to the door; Then he became suddenly faint.' His Son. observftig that he was about to fall, ran to his 'aid, and assisted him up stairs to bed. He lay quietly for a few moments, a ad then peacefully expired. 'Thus the lamp of his life,iwhich had burned solong brightlv. vanished into darkness, with scarcely a moment's warning. - ' -' So protracted a life could not, of course. be without many and strange incidents We have heard him narrate these, and al ways with the greatest .pleasure. Ben Duke was originally a slave, but the entire race of bis owners has become extmct, and he has been a free ':, man for a long time. Of late years he sustained himself by set ling wood, driving a small one horse wag on about the city. His features were some what of the Indian cast; his form manly and imposing, though slightly bent with age, and bis'beard and hair very leng and wbtte. - ' RESPONSIBILITY. , A voung ""man in Virginia had become sadly intemperate. He "was a .man - of ffreat capacity, fascinatin and "power, hut he bad.it passionsfor brandy which notb insr could control. , Often in his walks a friend remonstrated wrlb him , but in vain : as often in turn 'would he' urge .this friend to tike the social , glass in train. On one occasion the latter agreed rfo yield. to him, and as they walked, up to, the bartogkhei, the bar-keeper said : . . " ..... ' -Gentleman what will you haTe V -" i Wine sir was the reply. '.' ,' f The glasses were fi led, and two friends stood ready to pledge each other in renew- ed and eternal friendship, when he paused and said to his interripefate friend: ' ' " "XCow, if I drink this glass and become a drunkard .will you take the responsibili ty?' .:. ' ' ' ' . The dtunkatd looked ot him with sever' ity, and said : ': -L -. 'Set down that glass. . It was set down, and the two walked a way without saying a word. The drunkard knows the awful conse quences of the first glass:' Even in his own madness for liquor, he is not willing to as sume the responsibility- of another becom ing a drunkard. " "; ' : : ; What if the question were put to every dealer as he asks for his license, and ' pays his money 'are you willing to assume the responsibility ?' ; How many would say if the love of money did not rule, Take back the license V . .
