NERVOUS DEBILITY,
However obscure the eanse may be which
contribute to render nervous debility a
disontse so prevalent, nfleeting/na it dor:;,
nearly one-half of our adult population; il
is a melancholy fact that day by day, and
year by year, we witness a most frightful iu
crcape of nervous affections from the slight
est neuralgia lo the more grave and
extreme forms of ?
NERVOUS PROSTRATION,
Is characterized by a general languor or
weakness of tbo whole organism, especially
of the nervous system, obstructing and pre
venting the ordinary ' functions ofnature;
hence there is a disordered stale of the
secretions; constipation, scanty and high
colored urine, with an excess uf earthy or
lime sediment, indicative of waste of brain
nnd nerve substance, frequent palpitations
of the heart, loss of memory ami marked
irresolution of purpose, ami inability to
carry into action anv well-defined business
enterprise, or to fix tfic mind upon any one
thing at a time. There is great sensitive
ness to impress, though retained but a short
time, with a flickering and fluttering condi
tion of the mental faculties, rendering an
individual what is commonly called a
whiflle-minded or flicklc-mindcd man.

Mark Twain's Duel.
Mark Twain con tribute." tho follow
ing to" Torn Hood's annual :
The only merit I claim for the fol
lowing narrative is that it is a true
story. It bus a moral on the end of it,
but I claim nothing on that, as it; is
merely thrown in 10 curry favor with
the religious element.
After I had reported a couple of
years on the Virginia Oity (Nevada)
Daily Enterprise they promoted me to
be editor-in-chief; and 1 lasted just a
week by the watch. But 1 made an
uncommonly lively newspaper while
I did last, and when 1 retired I had a
duel on my hands and three horse
whippings promised me.
The latter J made no a! tempt to
collect; however, this history concerns
only the former. It was the old
"Hush times" of the silver excitement,
when the population waswonderfully
wild and mixed; everybody went
armed to the teeth., and nil slights and
insults bad to be atoned for with the
best article of blood your system could
furnish. In the course of my editing
I made trouble with a Mr. Luid, the
editor of a rival paper, lie Hew up
about some little tri lie or other that I
said about him?1 do not remember
now what it was. 1 suppose 1 called
him a thief, or a body-snatcher, or an
idot, or something like that; 1 was
obliged to make the paperreadable,
and I couldn't fail in my duty to a
whole community of subscribers mere
ly to save the exaggerated sensitiveness
of an individual. Mr. Lord was
ollcnded, and replied vigorously in his
paper. Vigorously means a great
deal when it refers ton personal edi
torial in a frontier newspaper. Duel
ing was all the fashion among the
upper c lasses in that country, and a
very few gentlemen woul I throw away
no opportunity of lighting one. To
kill one man in *> duel caused a man
to b'* even mure looked up to than to,
kill two men in the ordinary way
Well, out there if you abuse a man
and that in nil did not like it. you .had
to call him out and kill him, other
wise -ypu" .won hi bo disgraced. So J
challenged Mr. Lord, und I did hope
he would hot accept; but E knew per
fectly well that he did not want to
light, ami so I challenged him in the
most vi leu; and imp arable manner
And then I sal down and snuffed and
snufled tili tho answer came. All the
buys?tho editor.-.?were in the nfliee
"helping" me in the dismal business,
and telliu ? about duels ami dis missing
the code witliv a- lot of aged ruffians,
who bud experience in such matters,
and iiltogether there was a loving
interest taken in such matters that
made me unspeakably uncomfortable.
The answer came--^II'. Lord declin
ed. Our boys were furious, and so
was 1 on the surface.
I tent him another challenge, and
another, and the more he did not
want lb light the more blood-thirstier
I became. But at last, the man's tone
began to change. He appeared to be
waking up. It was becoming appar
ent that he was going to fight me after
all. I ought to have known how it
would be?he was a man who could
never be depended upon. Our boys
I were jubilant. 1 was n t, though 1
tried hard to be.
it was now time to go out and prac
tice. Jt was the custom there to light
duels with navy six-shooters at fifteen
paces?load and empty till the game
lor the funeral was secure. Wo went
to a little ravine just olil,of town and
borrowed a barn door for a target ?
borrowed it from a gentleman who was
absent'?and we stood this barn door
up, and .stood a rail on one end
agaiiist the middle ol it to represent
Lord, nod put a squash on top of the
rail to represent bis head. lie was
a very tall, lean creature, the poorest
sort of material for a duel; nothing
but a line shot could fetch him, nno
even then he might splityo.tr bullet.
Exaggeration aside, the rail was, of
course, a little too thin to represent
the body accurately, but the. squash
was nil right. If (here was any in
tellectual difference between the
squash and his head, it was in favor
ol I he sqnsh.
Well, 1 practiced and practiced at
the barn door and could not hit it;
and 1 practiced at the rail and cotild
not hit that; and 1 tried for the squash
and could not hii that. I would have
been tentirely disheartened but that
occasionally 1 crippled one of the boys,
and thai guVo me hope.
At last wo began to hear pistol
shots near by, in the next ravine. \Yc
knew what that meant! The other
party was out practicing loo. Then I
was in the least degree distressed, lor
of course they would hear our shots
and then send over the ridge, and the
spies would lind my bam door with
out a wound or murk, and that would
simply bo an end to mo; for of course
the other man would immediately be
come as blood-thirsty nsT was.
? Just at this moment a little bird
not larger than a sparrow flew by and
lit on a bush, about thirty paces away,
and my little second, Steve Gills, who
was a dead shot with a pistol?much
better than I was?snatched out bis
revolver and shot I he bird's bead of!'!
We all ran to pick up the gxune, and
sure enough, just at this momcntsomc
I of the other duelists came reconuoitcr
ing over the little ridge. They ran
to our group to sec what the matter
was, and when they saw the bird,
Lord's second said :
"That was a splendid shot. How
far oil* was it ?"
Steve said, with some indifference :
"Oh, no great distance. About
thirty paces."
"Thirty paces! Heavens alive!
Who did it?"
"My man?Twain.'v
"The mischief he did ! Can he do
it often ?"
"Well, yes. He can do it about
four times out of five."
1 kn .w the little rascal was lying,
but 1 never said anything. I never
told him so. He wns hot of a disposi
tion to invite confidence of that kiud,
so 1 let the matter res'. Bui it was a
comfort to see. those people look sick,
and sec their jaws drop when Steve
made that statement. They went off
and got Lord and took him home;
when we got home, half an hour Inter,
there was a note, saying that Mr.
Lbrd peremptorily declined to fight.
We f mud out afterward that Lord
bit his mark thirteen times in eighteen
shots?if he had put those thirteen
bullets into me it would have narrow
ed my sphere of usefulness a good
j deal. True, they could have put
j pegs in the boles and used nie for a
I bat rack; but what is a hat rack to a
man who fee's he has intellectual
(towers?
I have written this true incident of
my history for one purpose ouly?to
.vain the youth ol to-day against the
practice of dueling, and to plead with
them to war against it. I was young
and foolish when I challenged the
gentleman, and thought it very fine
and grand to be a duelist and stand
upon the "field of honor." But 1 am
older and more experienced now, and
aim inflexibly opposed to tin* dreadful
eu.-toin. I am glad, indeed, to be
enabled to lift, up my voice against it
1 think it is a bad, immoral thing. It
is ('very man's duty to do all he can
to discourage dueling.
If a man were to challenge me, I
would go to that man and take him
by the hand and lead him to a retired
room ? and kill him.
Sjii: Wanted to Propose.?A
timid young man was visiting a
beautiful young w iman on one of our
streets the other evening, when, after
a pause, she said, looking closely at
him :
"Now, I want to propose to you ?"
"You are very kind," said t lie diffi
dent young man, between gasps and
blushes, "but l am not worthy of such
happiness?und, in fact, none of our
family are marrying people?besides,
my income is limited?my 'differences'
are on the wrtmg side?1 have to meet
Mr. Smith, and I'm afraid I'll be
late."
Then without waiting to put on his
overcoat, he tried to make exit
through the door ol* a cupboard.
' Why," said the young woman,
lifting her eyebrows in surprise, "1
wanted you to accompany me to a
friend's on Main street."
"Oh, in that case," answered her
swain, "if your head's level, and the
boot is oil the other foot, I shall only
be too hitppy, but I was af? aid?that
is almost dared to hope?in fact, I
am subject to the seizures;'' and he
sat down on the coal scuttle and said
it was a very cold day?hadn't seen
such weather since the 4th of July.
An Irishman's Logic.?An Irish
man sold his farm, and moved nil his
personal property to one adjoining,
which lie had purchased.
He claimed that stable manure
was personal property and not real
estate, and commenced moving the
saRio?lawsuit ensued, and they
declared ngiinst him.
His final remark to the Judge,
alter the jury had found a verdict
against him, were as follows :
"Mr. Judge, a horse and a cow aro
personal property ?"
"Yes," answered the judge.
"Mr. Judge, corn, oats, bay, etc.,
are personal properly?"
"Yes," responded the judge.
"Then," says Pat, "How in the
devil can personal property eat per
sonal property and produce real
estate'{"
How he Became a Lawyer?A
day or two ago, when a young man
entered a Detroit lawyer's ollice to
study law, the Free Press snys. the
practitioner sat down beside him and
said :
"Now, see here, I have no time to
fool away, and if you don't pan out
well I won't keep you here thirty
days. Do you want lo make a good
lawyer?"
"Yea, sir."
"Well, now listen. Be polite to old
people, because they have cash. Be
good to the hoys, because they arc
growing opto a cash basis. Work in
with reporters and get pulls. Goto
church for the sake of example.
Don't fool any time away on poetry,
and don't even look at a girl unlii you
can pl?ad a case. If you' enn Inflow
these instructions you will succeed. If
you cannot, go and learn to boa doc
tor and kill your best friend."
For ? straigtforward pica to the
question-of "Uuilly, or not guilty?"
commend us to that Missouri chap,
on trial for murder: "If your honor
please, 1 am guilty, I killed the man
because he took my gal from me. She
was about the ouly thing I had an' 1
didn't want to live after she went, an'
I Jidcn't want him to live neither.
Ail' I should he much obliged to
your honor if you would bang nie as
soon as possible." '
- ITI-.-..-JJI. .
"What do.yuU.mcau, you little ras
cal ?'' exclaimed an individual to an
impudent youth that had seized him
by the nose upon the street. "Oh,
nothing, only 1 am going out to seek
thy fortune, and father told nie to
seize hold of the first thing that'turn
ed up.'" '
