THE GAMBETTA BULL.

How Mark Twain Distinguis hea

Himself as the Statesman’s Second.

(¢ ‘oncluded. )

When he c:me to, he suid, mourtfuily:

‘The unnatural calm to which I hav snbjezted myseif has told up upon my perves. But away wich weakness, will confront my fate like a man und : Frenchman.’

He rose to his feet and assumed an at- titude whieh four sublimity had never been approached by & mun, ued has seldom been surpassed by statues.

After along silence, he asked :

‘Was nothiug suid about that man’s family standiog up with him as an offset tomy baik? Butno matter. 1 wouid nut stwoopto muke such a suygestion, If he is ot uvble enough to suggest 1 him elf he is weleome tu this advautuge, Which; eo hunorable man would tuke.’

“A+ what hour is the engagement to begin ?’

‘H.if-past nine.’

‘Very good indeed. Have you sent the fuct to the newspapers,’

‘Sir! [fatter our long and intimate friendship you can for a moment deew me c:puble of so base a treachery

‘Tus, tut! What words are these, my dearfriend? Have 1 wouvded yeu ¢ Ai, forgive me, I am overlvadivg you With labor. ‘heretore go on with the other details and deop this ove from yuu: list. ‘Lhe bloody-wiuded Fourton wilt be sure to attend to it. Or I myseii—yes, to make certain, I will drop a note to my journatistic frieud, M. Noie’

‘Oh, come to think, you may save yourself the trouble; that other sccoud has informed M. Noir.’

‘Hm! Imighthave kuownit. Itis jast like that Boursu, who alwoys Wante to make a display.’

At bait past vine in the morning the

ession approached the field of Plessis-

Digact in the fullowing order: First came our carriage—uebody ia it but: . Gambetta and myself; then a carriage containiog M. Fourtou aud his secoud ; then a carriage cont living two poet-ora- tors who did oot believe iv God, and these had MS. funeral o @ ious proj -cting from their vieust-pockets ; thep a carriage con- taining the head surgeon and their cases of instrument<; then eight } Private cur riag:s cootaivi.g consulting surgeon: ; then a carriage containivg the head uo dertakers; then a train of assistanty and mutes on foot; aud after these came plod diog through the fog a long precessiva of eamp-fullowers, police and citizens gener- ally. it was a noble turu-cut, aod woud have made a five display if we had had thioner weather.

The police noticed that the public haa massed themsoives together on the right and left of the field ; they therefore begg ed adelay while they should put these poor people io a plice of safety. The re- quest was granted. Tho police having ordered the two multitudes to take po- sitions behind the duelists, we were once more resdy. The weather growiog still more opaque.it was agri e! between wysclf and the other second that before giving the fatal signal we should each deliver a Joud whoop to enable the combutants to ascertain each other’s whereabouts.

I now returned to my principal, and was di-tre-sed to observe that he had lost a good deal of his spirit. L tried my best to hearteu him. I said: ‘Tudeed, sir. thiogs are not so bad as they seem, Con- sidering the character of the we pons, the limited vumber of shots allowed, the

enerous distince, the impenetrable so- lidity of the fox, and the added fact that one of the combatants is one-eyed and the other cross-eyed and near sighted, it seems to me that this covflict need not pecessurily be fatal. There are chances that both of you msy survive. Therefore cheer up; do not be dowohearted.’

This speech had so good an effect that my privcip | immediately stretched forth bis band aud sud, ‘1 am myself agiin; give me the Weapon,’

I Jaid it, all lonely and forlorn, in the centre of the vast solitude of his palm. He g zed at it and shuddered. And atill m nrofuliy coutemplating it he in ar- mured ina broken voice:

Aias, is is vot death I dread, but mu- tilion.’ “1 heartened him once more, with such success that presently he suid: ‘Let the tragedy besin. Stand at my buex; do pot de-ert mo ia this sulemo hour, my frieod.’

(CMPSICUM)

Tho Greatest Medical Discevery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

Thore never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diiferent diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. Mecvin’s Carstcum Pornors PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind, Al other plasiers are slow of action. and require to bo worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirety dif- ferent: the nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it Was always been more or Tess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of ‘very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, couvineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELvVtin’s ‘CApsicum Ponous PLastens, aud their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for snch diseases as rheunsatism, pain in the side and hack, and all stich cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed. and you wantace*tain eure. ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN's Capsicum Porous PLASTER, You can harily believe vourown convictions of i's wonderful effects. Although powerful ana quick in its action, you can rely on its safety a the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- arv plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ¢*li bundreds | to vour friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MRELVIN’s CAPst- | cum Porous PLasrrn, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one. $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to eny address in the United States or Canadas,
