A DUEL 7T0 THE DEATH,

FOUR MEN DEAD WITHIN FIVE MINUTES IN THE STREETS OF A KENIUCKY TOWN,

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Ricumonp, Ky., Sept. 21.—Jasper Mau- |

pin was a member of a large and wealty family living s few miles east of here. The family numbers in allits branches perhaps thirty or more men, noted for their horses

and hounds, their love of fox hunting, and for their utter indifference to danger when attacked or their honor called in question. John Burnam, a constable of Glade Town- ship, that portion of the county where the Maupins lived, was a typical Kentuckian. Jn person, tall, broad shouldered, hand- some, quick on the trigger, but unfortu- nately quarrelsome, and, indeed, it is said rather fond of killing peop!e. His history

‘|is marked by a number ot desperate

crimes, including the murder of two men, one of them, it is said, in cold blood, and other conduct which marked him as a man to be feared and dreaded, '

In January last « quarrel sprang up be. tween Burnam and Jasper Maupin, which resulted in the shooting of Burnam five times by Maupin. Yesterday the trial of Maupin was to have occurred, and Burnam partially recovered from his wounds, was in town, evidently with the determination of having revenge upon Maupin. . He was backed by four of his friends, the principal of whom were Kit Ballard and William Cornelison, while Maupin was backed by his relatives,each armed with heavy re- volvers and determined upon the exter- mination of the other or death to them. selves.

The parties first met in the corridors of the Court House and revolvers were drawn on both sides, but by the intervention ot friends they were induced to refrain from shooting, After the adjournment of the Court, however, burnam, accompanied by his friends, stationed himself on the side- walk near 4 livery stable where Maupin must pass to get to his horse. The Mau- pins, seeing this action, consulted a mo- ment, but onlya moment, when Jasper, putting his hand u his revolver, started boldly along the sidewaik in the direction of the stable. His backers, many of whom were already mounted, stopped about fifty feet away to watch the result. .

Maupin walked quietly down the street till he got opposite and nearly past Bur- nam, still having his hand on his ravoiver, and looking back as he passed, when sud-

MACMAHON AND FRANCE.

(New York Times, )

The proclamation of MacMahon is thé most serious accident in the recent history of France. It makes a new revolution there, with the temporary overthrow of the Republic anda consequent civil War, not only possible but probable. The pro. clamation shows the Marshall strong~ headed, arbitrary, prejudiced, with the obstinacy of a soldier and the fatal sin. cerity of a narrow-minded and vain od man. But it also shows that he is in the hands of a crafty and desperate set of poiuticians, led by De Fourtou, who only Know too well how to use his defects and abuse his virtues. The only hope of the country lies in the sagacity and temper- ance of the Republicans, and it is not cer< tain that the utmost display of these traits

can save it from most melancholy contusion and disaster,

THE BALACLAVA CHARGE.

Lady Cardigan has sent a niunificient subscription towards the expenses of the banquet to be held in London on October 25th, by the surviving non~commissioned officers and men who rode in the chat ge of the light brigade. It bas been astertained that there are 100 survivors, the majority of whom will be present. ‘hey are ‘to dine privately together at the Free Mason's lavern, thus steering clear of enterprising lessees and managers of public entertain« ments. The absence of the shillingpay« ing public will no doubt make the dinner of these gallant men the more enjoyable, lhe. chair is to be taken by Mr. G L,

denly Burnam drew. a heavy revolver from | 2th, /ate, regimental Sergt. Major 11th

under his coat, and stepping quickly to- wards Maupin, without saying a word placed the muzzle nearly against his fore. head, and before Maupin could draw, fired. The ball entered the brain, and Maupin fell to the sidewalk, dying. Then Maupin’s friends opened fire from the corner, jump-~ ing from their horses and rushing towards the party. Lee Maupin ran towards Burs nam, and levelling his revoiver, tired. Burnam fell dead upon the sidewalk, hi- feet resting across those of his victim, and the blood flowing from his mouth and wounds in his head. Lee Maupin, not yet content with his revenge upon his brother's murderer, rushed again to the body of his victim, and stopping over it, sent another ball through his head, and was followed in this act by another of the Maupin family.

At the same time the other had opened fire on Corneilson and Ballard, who both received shots through the head, and, staggering a few steps, fell dying. ‘The example of Lee Maupin was followed by his fellows, who deliberately approached their victims while they were dying, send ing the heavy balls from their pistols through their heads. Then, there being no more of the friends of the vanquished party remaining alive, the carnage ceased. The brothers of the wounded Maupin gathered about the dying man, and, still grasping the instrument of death in hands red with blood of his murderer, kissed his pale face and wept like children, Then he was carried into a store near by, but expired in a few minutes. Then they turned again their attention to his mur- derers, and, finding them dead, sheathed their revolvers and qu'etly gave themselves up to the Sheriff. Those left in charge were Lee, Joe, Brock and Brutus Maupin. Neal Gooch, Wm. Terril, and of these only Lee and Brutus Maupin and Wm. Gooch were held after the inquest today.

At Flushing, Long Island, on the 24th, Mrs, Nimmis was arrested for attempting to poison the family of a woman with whom she had quarrelled. She put rat poison in the woman's water pail. The poison was discovered by fumes of phosphorus rising from boiling water. One child who pary took of the water wes poisoned, but re covered.

Many of the African Kings boast of an unbroken succession in their families for thousands of years. They are absolute despots, except when controlled by custom or religion, but in general their govern- ment is liberal and kind. Mohammedan« ism is professed, but the fetish supersti- tions generally prevail, and belief in witch. craft is general.

in Russia nearly every officer speaks French and German, yet Don Carlos was unable to obtain a command of any kind on account of his not being conversant with the tongue of the common soldier, He res mains @mere amateur, enjoying the priv- ilege of having a royal escort of Cossacks and of going where he pleases. He was in the thickest of the battle of Plevna. and joined with his escort the detachment pro- tecting the Russian retreat,
