The Statesman in the Role of Father ‘in a Uhicage Theater. From the Chicago News, Old Senator Tabor, of Colorado, occupied a box at the Grand Opera house in this city last Saturday evening. He was accompanied by his beautiful and accomplished young bridé, who carried In her arms their four-months-old babe— @ fat, pretty little thing, who was exquisitely dressed and conspicuously held up to the admiring gaze of the crowded auditorium. The baby behaved very well for half an hour, and seemed rather to enjoy the severe scrutiny to whichshe was subjected by the critical lorgnettes of divers ladies and gentlemen present, and as for the parents, they appeared to revel in the sensation the baby produced. Old Tabor himself paid no attention to the play; his orbs were glued upon the baby. Pretty soon the baby grew Testless and seemed to be clawing at invisible objects in the circumambient atmosphere and at the same time she gave utterance to those infantile wails which the subtle instincts of a mother teach her to construe as a demand for refreshments. This produced a palpable bustle in the Tabor family. Papa looked inquiringly at mgmma, whereupon mamma nodded mean- ingly at papa, and then papa got up and took the baby in his arms and ambled out ot the box, followed by mamma. The procession passed up a side aisle and through the foyer into the ladies’ dressing room, eleven hundred pairs of eyes tol- lowing them, and eleven handred beating soft responses to this touching spectacle. We very much doubt whether there ever was a more pa- thetic tableau presented in a Chicago theater. There was a towering intellect, a mighty states- man, @ sublime orator, a social king, unbending himselt to the sweet occupation of a tender and indulgent pa. The same grand old eyes which had guarded our country’s interests at Washington were jovingly bent. upon the paJpi- tating cherub that claimed their paternal vigi- lance; the same undinching arms which for | thirty long tempestuous days had held the helm of the ship of state and guided our nation through hostile billows now clasped the per- fumed darling of Colorado to her father’s heart, and with their gentle squeezes conveyed pleas- ant assurances of the treat that was in store for the yearning baby palate; that same majestic voice which had thundered through the halls of the national Senate, had thrilled the souls of listening thousands, and had commanded the admiration and awe of the civilized world, now crooned tuneful lullabies and sank to melodies mountain brooks. They entered the dressing- room—pa and ma did, and the baby, too, and DUELING ON THE CONTINENT. ‘The Deadly Mode of Fightt: which Prevaite im Busia.” ‘From the Pall Mall Gazette. Over 5.000 duels occur annually in France alone. The enormons majority of these en- counters take place between private soldiers. In every French regiment areto be found two or three first rate swordsmen, commonly called des tateurs, whose especial business it is to test the nerve of any recruit suspected of a de- ficiency of physical courage. On the most frivo- lous pretext the éateur fastens a quarrel on the unfortunate nauveau, and the unanimous voice | of the regiment declares that, honor demands bloodshed. The encounter takes place in the presence ot four non-commissioned officers and of the regimental fencing master, who stands by, sword in hand, ready no parry any too dangerous thrust. The weapon used in the cavalry isthe sabre, and in the infantry the ordinary sword bayonet, and the issue is generaily harmless enough, although cases have been known of the ta‘eur himself coming to grief through the recruit going for his ad- versary. | In society, and especially among gentlemen | connected with what the French teri la petile presse, @ very similar rule prevails, but with one important modification. The iateur is herecon- spicuous by his absence, and the young aspir- ant to social or journalistic honors is expected to faire ses preures by deliberately picking a quatre! with some eligible opponent. The weapon used in these affairs of honor i invariably the smali sword, the pistol t sidered tar too dangerous an arm— these encounters is as a rule a scratcied finger or forearm. Occasionally, when poll other considerations render even a ser: desirable, pistols are resorted to, but liar precautions. Thus MM. Gambetta and De Fourtoii—the former being one-eyed and the latter nearly blind—were put up ina dens at forty pacesto exchange shots with v4 barreled smooth-bore pistols. In . out of ten French duels may be looked upon as ing con- mere farces played forthe amusement ot the | gallery. The excellent health enjoyed by M) Rochefort, De Cassagnac and Carie des Pe eres, who among them have been ont over ty, times, adds strong confirmation to this view of the matter.

Experi- ments lately made by Professor Storer, of the Bussey institution, show that the leakages in the Joints of pipes, usually attributed to the avarice of plumbers, are due to the fondness of mice tor putty.

I had lived in an indian village nearly a week before I heard any- thing about the candle-fish, and one beautifal moonlight night [was standing on the beach when I saw something that appeared exactly like the reflection of the moon, only it was in the wrong direction. I called the attention of a native to it and it seemed to throw him into the | greatest excitement. He cried out ‘Eulachon!’ as hard as he could, and in a few minutes fifteen men were on.the shore launching their canoes. There was so much confusion. that I couldn’t learn what was the matter; so I jumped into one of the boats and off we went. There were two men tn each of ‘the eat In the stern and stood in the bow w ment in his hand that i looked like an enormous a piece of pine at lea nt feet long witha hole for a hand grip » top, the lower part tuinning off to an edge Into which were driven sharp iron or bone teeth from turee to four inches apart. The ase was svon evident; it was an arrangement for fishing. The ripple I had noticed on the water was an enormous school of fish, called by the natives ‘Eulachcen,’ and to looking instra- ke or comb, made of el surround them now seemed to be the chief | | Known comet of short period. Comet € is the | only one of these interesting bodies that is | within the range of ordinary telescopes. Of the object. ‘The canoes were swiftly paddled out—until they were all upon the outside of the fish—and then they rushed at them fuil speed, each man wielding his comb like a scoop; dashing it into the sparkling mass of fish that gleamed like | silver, aud at every strokeso thick were they that the teeth ot the comb came up covered -with Impaled fishes. ‘These were quickly jerked Into the boats and another desh made, and so on, until finally the school was driven in shore, and the excited natives leaped into the water and fairly scooped them Into their canoes, where their vivid phosphorescence made them look | like molten silver. The fish seemed so terrified and demoralized that they hugged the shore, and if the men had had a net instead of those outlandish combs, they could have captured millions where they only took thousands. The boats were rapidly filled, however, and in an hour the excitement was over, and the canoes were hanled up on the beach by the exhausted fishermen. The next morning early the boats were emptied on the beach, and the catch was handed over to the squaws, who took the entire matter of curing in band. They seated them- selves about their respective piles, and taking sticks pointed at the ends, rapidly the fish upon them by plercing them through the eyes. Then they were taken by children and paced in the smoke at the top of their sheds. ‘bere was no cleaning or scaling. When thor- onghly dried the fish have a flavor ot wood smoke. They are p cked in large flails made of cedar .bark and rushes of various Kinds. They are then stowed away on a scaffolding made of high poies, and are not touched until cold weather. The natives call them in our tongue candle fish, as they not only eat them but use them to burn, as] have shown you. Previous to this catch I had had no light. but afterward I Juxuriated in a candle every night, andewrote my reports and took my notes all by the light of the ‘Eulachdn.’ The little fish seem fairly bubbling over with oll; so much so that I triedto fry one and turning away for a few moments I returned to find the back and other bones heraee 3 around in a lot of fat; the.flesh had melted. The oil is used as 8 medicine; it keeps them warm as fuel, gives them light, and the flesh isarich tood in its dried state. When the fish are eaten the bones are swallowed. When they burn them they take a pointed stick, insert it in the ground and make aelit in the other d, into which they stick the fish and light it. There ls no trim- ming or smoking, when the light isno Jonge needed it is blown out andthe remainder of the fish eaten. Sometimes the fish are vé abundant, and the lus is all made into oj that is used fora of purposes by the natives. What do they stow it in?

This object | sons in private or in cl is the most remarkable of telescopic comets | } on account of its singularly short period | —— and the fact that a study of its motion points to a probable resisting medium lying in space nearer the sun than the earth's orbit, which has the effect of shortehing the comet's period of revolution by some two anda half hours at each return. The theory of this comet is so well known that astronomers can, predict its place in the sky almost as accurately as that of a planet. Its present position is about 8° south of the bright star Alpha Pegasi, and its detection by the telescope ts nightly expected. The present return wiil be the twenty-third upon record. : E. E.
