Perhaps the moat remarkable thing abeut American duels was thalr blond thirsty character. The meetings were not conventional affairs, for ofLeoer than not thalr ending was feul. Tni* probably did mach lobring the practice into disrepute. “Prqm Andrew Jeekanu, Ilia most famous American daellll. lo Abraham Ltnoolo, wbo once accepted a challenge to light a duel which his ncudy wll tnroed Into n faros, nearly all these personal combats bare grown out of polities.

It may be said that be began uls public oereer by lighting a duel over a well smoked piece of Tennessee buu. “Tbe future President of lbs Uidled Ruins was theo —It was In August, 1786—a lawyer who had readwd Lbs mature age of 21. lie was opposed lo a oaas by Col.

Avery unrolled the ehuok of meat in tbe court house In Jonesboro, Tenn., greatly to the won der and amusement of the spectators. “Instead of Joining In tbe laegbter. Colonel Avery and ferociously de nounced him. Jsokaon Immediately tore a dy leaf from the back of a law book and wrote a challenge, with a ‘P. 8.’ that said: ‘This evening after oourt adjourned.’ “Ha undoubtedly meant to write ■has adjourned,’ but he was loo angry to be aocurate. He was also too angry to shoot straight when tbe Colooet met him that evening after euoaat In a ravine behlod tbe eoort boose, for be missed bis mao. Jaokaoa having also escaped unhurt, the trouble was smoothed over4by tbe seconds. “In 1803 Jackson oallsd out Qov.

Jackson was living at lbs Hermitage on Neely’s Bend of tbe Cumberland Hives and bad tome trou ble with a neighbor named Erwin over a horse reoe in v *itcb both were Inter ested.

Then ha wrota a letter to Jackson in which, among other ex aaperatlng things, Dickerson mentioned the name of Mrs. Jackson. This Im mediately called forth « challenge, of which Son.

Who is this degenerate ? Franklin J. Hoses was no carpet bagger. imported from Uie north end he eon hardly be celled a scalawag. He belongs to a good old Sooth Caro llua family, and bis fntber. tbe late Chief Justice Moose, of that stats, was regarded ms an honorable mao of e x oeutlonal talent.
