Every day, about one o'clock, @ group of men may be seen loitering in the vicinity of 15th and F streets. They are generally sitting about the Western Union office, and while they have ail the appearance of idlers, yet a more careful serutiny will convince the observer that they are waiting for something. They do net look like retired capitalists, but as a class appear 3 nid seem tobe at odds with fortune. They evidently are not enjoying the leisure vhich a comfortable bank account makes ible, and if the attention of the passer- ‘as called to them, he would inyariabl. ant for their presence by saying that they were waiting for achance job. Presently A SLIGHT STIR is observable Inthe group, andaman comes down the street from a neighboring building and passes along with a rapid stride. One of the group of idlers steps out on the pavement, and, walking care y along, meets the man, shakes hands with him, exchanges a few words and thea both continue in their respective di- rections. The man who has left the crowd re- s his steps and speaks to one or two, shak- ch. Then the en aside their care ner, walk briskly away in different directions.

To the Rdjitor of Tam Evexrxa Stan: Is there no relief from the dangerous practice among boys of firing stones, presumably af birds, but unfortunately against whoever or whatever happens to be within range? Pea- shooters being forbidden, a rubber band and a string are called into requisition. The boys on C street, between 3d and 41¢ streets, partica- larly, need some admonition. While ing slong the south side of that square one day this week I was struck on the cheek by a stone pro- pelled in this way by one of a group of young boys ina yard on the opposite side. That same evening, having reined in my horse to speak to a friend, I saw one of these boys crossing the street in a peculiarly quiet manner for a boy. I detected a stealthy movement of his hand, and on the instant my horse reared and plunged for- ward, struck by a stone that quiet lad had aimed at him. On quieting my horse I drove back, but not a boy was to be seen. Where are the parents of these boys?

Ido not think the flagmen on the street crossings are to blame, as they warn the boys away; but as a flagman cannot order them away from the street, the boys form on the op- posite side of the track, and when the train gets between them and the watchman they rush to “jump” it.

Froth the Petersburg Ingex-Appeal. A fatal duel fook. | on July 14 between Joseph Addi and Richard Garland near the farm of Mr. A.J. Wedderburn, at 1034 a.m., in Lunenburg county. The trouble originated in @ quarrel between the young gentlemen in which a lady was concerned. Addison was en- gaged to a young lady of the county, and, while he was absent in Baltimore recently, Garland courted her, He told her that Addi- son was flirting with her, which caused her to her engagement with him, and, in turn, zaged herself to Garland. When Addison returned from Baltimore he called upon the young lady for an explanation, and said that Garland was making fun of her. She then be- came angry, and wrote Garland an insulting letter, which she sent to Addison to endorse and deliver, Addison did so, and further added that he held Garland responsible for the whole misunderstanding, with the result as above. Appended is the correspondence in full. The first letter is from Miss Marte Hatchett; others follow in regular sequence: MISS HATCHETT TO GARLAND. OxrorD, N. C., June 25, 1882, Mr, Garland: Before leaving Lunenburg I heard that it was reported throughout the county that I had been flirted with by no other than yourself, but as there seemed to be no certainty about the'orlginator of the report in question I merely denied it indig- nantly asa horrid falsehoot emanating from the fertile Imagination of some {dle mischtef-maker, who, for some unknown cause, wished to wreck what I value infinitely more highly than Ife itself, viz, my reputation. Not, however, until I had registered a vow that it you had ever made such an assertion I Would trace it upif It took my whole Ife todo it, I came for a purpose, and have ac- complished it, I now haye it from ‘your own lips, and you dare not deny it.

For several months past I have Known more of your character than you had any idea of, but made a resolve never to expose you or try to injure you in any way in the estima- ton of others unless I kiew positively, without a doubt, that you had said something detrimental in connection with myself. ‘This promise I have sacredly adhered to unt] now, but “there 1s a point where endurance ceases to be a virtue.” The climax Js reached at last, and I care Uttle for the consequences.

But before Mr. Boswell had gotten into the merits of the case. Mr. Addison and his other friends halted and engazed Mr. Eanes in conversation. Mr. Boswell then rode some forty yards ahead till the Addison party reached the public road, where they were met by Messrs. Garland and Roach. Messrs. Garland ‘and Ad- dison were introduced by one of the party. Mr. Garland speaking first, proceeded to ask some- thing which was interrupted in the outset by Mr. Addison throwing up his left arm and draw- ing back his right to strike, when Garland, plac- ing his hand upon his pistol in his hip pocket, Addison jumped back one step, saying, “None of that,” two or three times. ‘land then hes- itated to withdraw his pistol, whereupon Addi- son drew his from his sack coat side pocket, and fired so quickly that it must have been cocked in his pocket, the ball striking Garland on the left arm a few inches below the elbow, break- ing one of the bones and lodging against the skin on the opposite side of the arm, which was folded across his breast. Addison snapped his pistol again before Garland could return the fire. Both fired, or attempt- ed to fire, in rapid succession, Addison giving back at every discharge; and when about twelve steps back, he left the road and got behind a tree, shooting or attempting to shoot, at the same time. Garland’s pistol being exhausted, he called to Boswell to lend him his, which Bos- well drew out of his hip pocket and handed him, being then about three yards from Garland. Gar- land made ready to fire with the second pistol, when Addison called out from the tree, “unfair, gentlemen, unfair, My pistol is empty, or falls to fire.” Garland then inguired, ~ Have you enough?” Addison replied, ‘I have.” where- upon Garland lowered _his pistol, which had not been fired, and said, ‘I am satisfied if you are.” Addison then walked up to Garland, and said, “Gentlemen, I am done for; I am shot through the bowels.” To which Garland replied, “I am sorry for it, but you have no one to blame for it but yourself.” Addison rejoined. “All I regret is that I amunable to accommodate you fur- ther.” Their respective friends then carried them off the field. Addison died on Sunday, July 16, at the resi- dence of his brother-in-law, A. J. Wedderburn, near Lunenburg Court House. His mother, brother, and other friends were at his bedside. Dr. Mercer and nurses from Baltimore arrived on the night before his death, but the ball had passed through the body and nothing could be done. Addison was conscious till within a short time of his death. He expressed perfect resigna- tion at his approaching end. The remains were taken to Baltimore. Garland was arrested and bailed immediately after the duel on Friday. As soon as Addison died Garland was rearrested and committed to await trial at the next term of the county court. Garland is a son of John R. Gar- land, of Mecklenberg county, late democratic candidate for the legislature. He is 27 years old, tall, and of spare build. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Miss Hatchett, the young lady concerned, has been ill ever since the death of her champion, and is represented by her friends as being wild with remorse. She reproaches herself with having caused Addison’s death, and serious fears are entertained for her’ life, as she threatens to commit suicide. The feeling against Garland is very strong, and he will doubtless have to serve a long term in the penitentiary for his crime. —————_+e._____ Mfappiness.

French Nobles, From the Pall Mall Gaz:tte. It has been said thatif you wish to learn whether caste survives in any given country you should look to its usages of marriage. Now the first cause of the isolation of the titled classes in France ts their practice of marrying among themselves. Marriages with the rest of the nation are very rare and always of one kind; the son ofa noble marries sometimes the daugh- ter of a man of the other classes, the daughter ot such a man marries a noble almost never. And to the isolation caused by non-intermarriage is added the social isolation produced by special pursuits. Nothing seems more capri- cious tothe foreign observer than the choice of rofessions and employments by the sons of a Tegitimlst tamily. The legitimist will go into the army and he will take a small clerkship in the office ofa railway company. But he will onl; serve the government in certain riage i- ties, and he will have nothing to do with trade. These prejudices do not exclude considerable virtues and considerable services to French 80- ciety. The titled land-owners of France, who still hold a much larger portion of the soll than is commonly supposed in this country, have been the great improvers of French agriculture, and much of the development of the enormous natural wealth of France is attributable to them. Their private virtues have been deposed to by great authorities. ‘The late Mr. J. 8. Mil, who lived much in France, is known to have had a very high opinion of his legitimist neigh- bors, and even to have gone the length of say- ing that if you wanted to find a Frenchman who habitually spoke the trath and was honest in all his dealings you should search for a legitimist noble. ae a this bas inyarisity bette with great ignorance ng ice. “4 ulation of many se fe best ex- , If very 5 or live on the cherity of his tives.
