Fo Fifeshire in IS2?—Sir Alexander ti seawall killed by James Staart.

e grey ofa March morning in 1822 fh f six gentlemen arrived in separ- | at gents in a ficld on a quiet road ‘ o a sbort distance of the village ot tertool, in Fifeshire. One wes an Ea ther a scion of the house of Dovg a+, “afterwards to be Marquise,” a tk baronet, the fourth a ccuntry ge an «descended from the royal hou~« «f Stuart, the other two eminent doctor- from Edioburgh. Had aFrenchman

io there days orin these witneseed such

an a*++inblage he would have been in little doul «s tots purpose. But it was prob- ebiy © tferent with the few couatry folk of | the “Kingdom” who saw the unusual

gather og. The group separated themeelves ibtotweo parties. Hurried conversations were |.cid in those subdued tomes which

betoken that somethiog serious is afoet, |

Certs. ‘easuring Operations were gone throu«), and,then two of the members of the party were seen carefully loading pistols, which were handed to the other two who stood facing each other. The recip- jente of the weapons were men of vastly differeut appearance—the one a tall baud- some cavalier, the other a rather short, stout, and farmerlike gentleman. The Other four retired some distance, and at & signa! given the remaining two discharg- ed their pistols, and the cavalier fell to the ground a dyimg man.

The tragedy thus briefly described, which disturbed the womted quiet of the Fifesbire village, disturbed also in a much greuter degree the whole pelitical world of Scotland. It was the outeome ef a furious political struggle between the Tories and the Whigs. Mr. James Sivart, of Dancarn, a leader of the latter party, was the target for many abusive news- peper articles; and in 1822 he instituted ao action forlibal sgaimst Borthwick & Alexander, publishes ot the Glasgow Sentiur!, for a eeries of attacks io aod v/ree. A quarrel between the partners ensued and Borthwick determined to make himee!f safe at all hazerde. He sent an emissary to Mr. Stuart with the offer that if the action were abandoned he would band over the manuscripts of the scurrilous eouge and letters, from which tne real sutoor of the libels would be learned. Mr. Stuart and his friends readily agreed to this course, and the documents were

placed io Mr. Stuart’s hands. An exam- ination of them clearly showed that the song and other similar

prodnctions were the work of Sir Alex- ander Boswall, @ relative and friend of Stuari’». Boswell, who was the son and heir of Johason biographer, was a man of conriderable liternry gifts, the author of sume clever and amusing Scotch songs and p« ems, which can still be read with pleasure. He further deserves to be re- membered with gratitude as being the originetor and chief director of the meye- ment which led to the erection of the Burne monument at Ayr, the foundation ttone of which he as Deputy Grand Mas- ter of Mother Lodge Kilwinning took « pricei;al part in laying. Sir Alexander was at (be same timé @ mao ofan exceed- ingly Loisterous and reckless temperament, jovial ond eutertaining in congenial com- paoy, but possessed of aw bitter tongue, which +pared neither friend nor foe. Boewall refused to make apology or reparation andthe duel followed. The spot chosen wasa@ field on the farm of Balbarton, near Auchtertool, ia Fiteshire. Thither the parties accordingly proceeded on the morning of March 26th, 1822. Stuart accompanied by Lord Rossyln, aod Liston, the famous surgeon, Boswell by Mr. Douglaes and Dr. Wood. The ren- dezvous was reached about eight o’clock, and the seconds at once proceeded to meas- ure off the ground, 12 paces being the dis- tance. The pistols were carefully loaded by tLe respective seconds, and handed to the combatants, who were to fire at command. Lord Rorslyn tham gave the word,“ Pres- eat fire,” and almost simultaneously two shote were discharged. When the emoke bad cleared away it wasseen that Sir Alexander, Boswall had fallen to the ground wounded. The doctors at once

went to his aid, and found trat the ball

had entered the neck on the right band

The Danger of Fighting Subcellar Fires Im New York.

In the series of articles on the New York

fire department in St. Nicholas, Mr. Charles T. Hill contributed one on ‘‘The Risks of a Fireman's Life.’’ Mr. Hill

says: Ata subcellar fire that occurred one nighta few years ago, on lower Broad-

way, I saw over a dozen men laid out on | A | grewsome sight it was, too, with the dim |

the sidewalk, overcome by the smoke. figures of the ambulance surgeons, lan-

the thick smoke for a background. These were brave fellows who had

dashed in with the lines of hose, only to |

be dragged out afterward by their com- rades, nearly suffocated by the thick, stifling smoke that poured in volumes from every opening in the basement.

over the sidewalk had to be broken in that night before the cellars were relieved suffi-

ciently of the smoke with which they |

were charged to allow the men to go in and extinguish the fre. This required the combined work of the crews of five hook and ladder companies, who broke in the ironwork with the butt ends of their axes—the hardest kind of work. But the newspapers the following morning merely gave this frea 10 or 12 line notice, men- tioning the location and the estimated loss, and adding that ‘‘it was a severe fire to subdue.’’ No word of the punishment and suffering the men were forced to face before this fire was under control; no mention of the dash after dash into the cellar with the heavy line of hoss, only to be driven back to the street by the smoke, or to be dragged out afterward nearly un- conscious; nor of the thud after thud with the heavy axes an the thick iron grating that required 20 or 30 blows before any impression could be made on it. This was muscle straining, lang taxing work that the average man has to face only once in a lifetime, but the fremen in a large city have it always before them, and each tap on the telegraph may mean the signal to summon them toa task that requires S. utmost strength and nerve. ’

ON THE ST. ANCE’S LINKS.

Mz. Topper’s Remarkabie Drive and the Depressing Influence of the Scot.

“Now, some men are made golfers," gaid Mr. Foozle, ‘‘and some are born so. Iam not. But the very worst golfer I ever heard of was Topper of thisclub. I've seen that man slice the ball so that it would fly in a circle, and once—only onoe —I saw it fall on the tee from which he'd driven it. But that, as I say, was ex- ceptional—really a remarkabie piece of luck, I think. I offered to bet he couldn't do it again, but he wouldn't take me up. Topper bad no sporting blood.

‘*The fact that the Scotch have had so much to do with the game of golf,’’ con- tinued Mr. Foozle, ‘‘accounts undoubtedly for the lack of humorand fun connected with the game. Now, they laid out these ‘links’ on the hill back o’ me recently— part on the bill, most on the hillside, and some in the ditch. They called one hole the high hole, ome the valley hole, and another the hill hole.

**The gzecns committee was compo-cd of two Scote 564 and an American. I hap- pen to know, sir, that that American did everything but go on his knees to these Soote wo get'em tocall the holes high, low and jack. Any American could see that they ought to be called high, low, jack, and the ninth hole—these were the sixth, seventh and eighth holes—should nat’ully be the ‘game’ hole.

‘‘But those Scotchmen voted him down. They’d never heard o’ calling holes by such names. Badminton said ‘nothin "bacut it.’ So the American was diifeated and the little thistle waved triumphantly over Scotland and America.’’—New York Sun.

Finally Digested.

Tt is said that an American went into a London bockseller’s and asked for Hare's ‘‘Waika In London.”’ In the United States it is printed in one yol- ume, in Euglaud iu two.

*'Ob,"’ said the Yankee as he looked at them, ‘‘you part your Hare in the middle, do you?’’

“I, sir?’’ said the clerk, with a bewil- dered Jook. ‘‘Oh, uo, sir!’’

“IT saw he didn't see the joke,’’ said the Yankee, ‘‘so I didn’t explain, but bought the ke and went away. A week later I entored the same shop. Ags soon as the clerk saw me he approached m6, exclaiming: ‘Good, capital! Part your hair in the middle? That’s capital sir—capital !'’—-Anecdotes.

The elephant is the obief beast of-bar- den in Siam aud Afghanistan. An ‘‘ele- vhant load’’ is estimated at two tons.

The oldest building in Chicago is the Green Tree tatern, in Milwaukee ave- nue, awd it is only 63 years old.

The Sultan’s Punch.

In Max Mauller’s honor the sultan gave him a dinner. Of course Mrs. Max Muller was not invited, but the lady, in her ‘‘ Letters From Constantinople,’’ describes it, and the little incident how the sultan drew the line between wine tnd punch is amusing:

“Nobody spoke except the sultan, whose conversation with the embassa- cor was most auvimated, though carried on entirely by an interpreter. My bus- band, not knowing the Turkish eti- quette, began to talk French to his neighbors, but received such very short answers that be, teo, relapsed into silence. The sultan, who had evidently seen this, beckoned to Munir Pasha, who whispered something to the minis- ters of war and murine and began to talk very pleasen‘ir, emoocraged by a lock from t!.e sultan not to mind such a breach of etiquette. Neither the sultan nor any of the officials present had a drop cf wine. None was on the table, ner was auy banded round except to unLelievers. The claret, however, was so gocd that my husband could not re- sist asking the grand master of cere- monies, ‘Who tasted and chose the wine for the imperial table?’ He shrugged bis shoulders, as though he would say, ‘You can guess.’ One of the items of the menu was punch. It wus iced punch, smelling so strongly that every one could perceive the alcohel in it, but neither the sultan nor any of bis guests were afraid of it. It was called punch, and punch is not forbidden in the Ko- ran. ”
