A Fight to the Dptbh-- anguanary
Hand-to-Hand Conflict.
A correspondent of the New York
World gives an account of one of the most
ferocious duels ever fought. It occurred
on the evening of July 4, in the Indian
Territory, at Medicine Lodge, a point
which is a great resort for hunters durinm
the colder months. The parties engaged
in this desperate fight were Hu'h Ander
son of Texas and Arthur McCluskey of
Kansas, both desperadoes well known or.
the frontih r for their recklessness of life.
Anderson had killed a brother of McClus
key in a dance-house fracas, and the latter
sought him out for the express purpose of
taking vengeance upon him. A Texan
guide named Richards acted as second for
McCluskev, a huge Kentuckian of the
name of Harding fulfilling a similar office
for Anderson.
THE AGREaMENT.
By the terms agreed upon between
Richards and Harding the antagonists
were to fight with revolvers and bowie
knives-to be placed back to back at an
interval of twenty paces-to wheel a, d
fire at a given signal, and after thefirst in
terchange of shots to conduct the fight as
each one should deem it best to his advan
tage. The spot selected for the encounter
was in the open prairie. The grass had
been closely cropped by the cattle, leav
Ing the turf firm, yet elastic, and just the
thing for rough-and-tumble business.
The men left long after sunset in the pres
ence of a crowd of hunters, trappers,
railroad surveyors, gamblers and Indians.
The combatants were duly placed. and the
crowd awaited with breathless interest the
result.
The giving of the signal had fallen by
lot to Harding. Stating to the principals.
who by this time began to show signs of
impatience, that this would be the report
of a pistol, he drew his own weapon and
discharged it, first asking the question
and receiving the usual answer that both
were ready.
THE FIGHT.
McCluskey was the first to fire, wheel
ing as he did so. though th,. smoke had
scarcely curled up from his pistol before
the report of Anderson's weapon fol
lowed. A momentary pause ensued, each
of the antagonists closely scanning the
other to note the effect of the shot. Across
Anderson's cheek a deep furrow, from
which the blood slowly tegan to trickle
down, told the work of his antagonist.
while McCluskey remained standing in
his original posture, to all appearances
unharmed. But this was not the fact.
Those nearest to him fancied they saw a
sudden spasm, as of pain pass through
his frame, and his face certainly blanched
to a deathlike pallor, but just where the
ball had taken effect they could not tell.
At the second fire McClaskey again an
ticipated his opponent, and taking a more
deliberate aim succeeded in breaking his
left arm. Anderson uttered a sharp cry
and sank on one knee, but, quickly recov
ering himself, returned tne fire, and this
time with horrible effect. The ball, pas
sing thbotWh McCluskev's mouth carried
with it several of the clenched teeth and
a portion of the tongue. finally lodging
in the base of the skull. McCluskeystag
gered forward wildly a few steps, and
made desperate eftorts to steady himself
The blood poured in torrents from the
wound, and stained his hunting-shirt and
dripped from the muzzle of his pistol:
but with heroic courage he continued to
advance spitting out mouthfuls of blood
and teeth at every step.
During the interval thus gained Anuter
son, who in his crippled state had every
reason to shun a hand-to-hand encounter.
had not been idle, but fired another well
aimed shot which broke McCluskey's left
shoulder. As if this was not enough, he
sent still another ball after bim, which,
striking him in the pit of the stomach,
caused him to fall forward heavily
on his face. McCluskey was n .w
mortally wounded and momentarily
growing weaker from loss of blood. Tear
ing open his shirt in his agony, a crimson
spot in his left side indicated the place
where Anderson's first shot had taken
effect. He still, however, retained his
grasp of his pistol. and by an effort super
human in its coolness and deliberation,
tired at his antagonist his third shot. The
latter had been closely watching for this,
andi endeavored to save himself by sud
denly dropping on the ground. Too late.
however. McCluskey s finger was al
ready on the trigger and his eye along the
sights, and when his adversary's body
reached the earth it was heavier by a
Colt's pistol ball. A scream of pain fol
lowed, and the spectators saw the figure
of a man clutching wildly with his hands
at the grass and writhing and twisting in
horrible contortions. The bullet had
struck him full in the abdomen, and like
his antagonist, Anderson was now a fast
dying man.
At this juncture it seemed as if the
crowd would interfere, but Harding
sternly bade them keep back and leave
the men to settle the matter their own
way. As none cared to dispute with the
gigantic hunter, the mandate was obeyed,
though a universal expression of horror
ran through the spectators. Still, horri
ble as was the scene, no one thought of
leaving the spot. An Irresistible fascina
tion to see it out bound one and all alike
to the blood-stained locality. But the
finale was at hand-the curtain almost
ready to drop.
McCluskey, summoning by a supreme
effort his remaining strength, drew his
knife and began to crawl feebly in the
direction of his antagonist. The latter,
who had raised himself to a sitting pos
ture, saw the movement and prepared to
meet it. Both had dropped their revol
vers, leaving to the cold steel the comple
tion of the work.
By this time it had grown quite dark,
and to distinguish the movements of the
combatants required the closest attention.
Anderson was clearly unableto move any i
portion of his body save his right arm. I
With this he raised his knife aloft, and as '
McCluskey crawled up to within reach
dealt him aterrible blow in the neck, cut
ting muscles and tendons and veins, and I
half severing the head from the body. r
But the effort was too much for him, and a
leaving the weapon sticking in the wonnd,
he pitched heavily forward on his face. e
Every one suppopacd that this blow would t
have instantly killed McCluskey, but, a
strange to say, it ldidl not for so great was I1i
his vitality that bx fore falling he twice d
Anderson. The tale is soon told. Mc- b
Cluskey lived a minute longer than his an- ec
tagonist. The dead bodies, tirmly locked n
in each other's embrace, were taken to the C
house of Harding and laid out side by side f
on the gaming table. A crimson trail sa
arthe path of those who carried them si
indoors, and poolsof blood Indicatedthe tl
scene of the late contlict.
There was no gaming that night. The
hunters and Indians appeared to find ex
oitement enough in talking over the events
of the day without having to resort to es
their usual pastime. Abonteleven o'clock in
the moon rose and the bodies were taken tl
out for burial. There were no funeral ti
ceremonies, but Job Harding remarkled as i
the maumled forms *ere lowered into the I c
grave, "There go two as brave men as T
ever lived." They were buried deep to ci
keep the wolves and ooyotes from digging Ai
them up, and the earth was heaped up in ti
a little mound to mark where they alept. d
y A Look Into the Bank of England.
Special arrangements were made at the
k Bank of England in-anticipation of a visit
t from the Shah, but he was too tired out
1 on the appointed day to go there. Had
I he gone, says the London News. he would
it have fouind all the Bank officials at their
daily duties-every man sitting, so to
d speak. at the receipt of custom; and the
iron rule by which doors are kept day
if and night well barred would have been in
r. force. At a ring of the bell, however,
the doors of the bank-note printingoffoes
R- would have flown open, and six m~hines
'r would have been seen in full work. Each
if machine, with a good deal of necessary
,n clatter, turns out 2,800 notes an hour, a
ir clever self-registering apparatus prevents
e any chance of a stray note falling, let us
e say, through the machinery, or blowing
accidentally up a chimney. English notes
were, as we pissed through half an hour
n before the Shah's expected visit, being
ts thrown off as if they were mere playbills,
le and also a number of India currency or
n rupee notes. In another chamber there
d were pile upon pile of crisp, delicious
r- bank notes of all varieties to be seen, and
is even handled, but not carried away. Ten
n- machines were in operation, and a sudden
sr entrance into thecashier's room adjoining
td somewhat resembled, to the ear, the dif
v- ference between a smithy and a cloister.
ic The polite, well-dressed gentlemen who
s. occupied the room were forming bundles
*s- of 500 notes each, and ne.tly tying them
s, up with green ribbon, each bundle worth
s. £2,500. Through their hands there
w passes an average of 56,000 notes a day
fe fifties, twenties, tens and fives-with the
exception of the last day of the week.
)y when the early closing movement reduces
e. the number to 36,000.
of Returning down the stairs, the Shah,
rt and the few persons who were to have ac
id companied him, would have next visited
in the gold-weighing room, all musical with
h the chink, chink, of never-ending sover
eigns.
eihe work of the machines by which
1- the sovereigns are weighed, twelve in
d xNumber, are delicate as a lady's watch;
re should a coin be the 100th part of a grain
1- below the standard, the machine tips i'
h over into a receptacle different from that
ie in which the true gold is shot. Twenty
3s eight sover.igns a minute are disposed of
n by each 'uachine, or 100,000 a day. It
le seemed-so nicely adjusted was this won
t. derful machine, as if it paused a moment
n to think, and trembled as it rejected the
' unworthy ,oin from its honester fellows.
t. ThIis mass of treasure, called indifferently
a "dross" or "filthy lucre," was to be seen
h by scuttlesfitl, shoveled about as the farm.
d er's man shovels horse-beans. A rich,
e glittering, tempting heap of 70,000 sover
1. eigns lay on the carefully-caged table,
i- and we were, of course, not surprised to
e be informed that within our reach there
is were nearly 400,000 of these bits of shining
y gold, so hard to earn. so easy to spend.
A bushel or so of half sovereigns were,
is after what had gone before, quite beneath
notice, but they looked pretty, and winked
d appealingly, as we gave them a casual
1 glance. Sometimes as many as 20,000 light
g coins were detected in a day. The pay
;- hall is a public room, but leading out of
.1 it is a chamber particularly private, and
f baring the name of the Treasury. It is
ie dark and cool-too rich, in fact, to have
d its repose ruffled by common storms or
vulgar passions. 'T here are in it 135 mas
o sive safes, crammed with wealti ; the
d Treasury is, in fact, a gigantic reservoir, at
present containing thirty-five millions of
r- money. One safe holds " garbled six
y pnces ;" another is full of threepenny
r. bits; one is sacred to old sovereigns; its
1- neighbor takes care of the new. The su
ft perintendent of this department showed
e us two parcels of notes which a child
i, might toss into the air; they represented
i, £1,000 000 in thousand pound notes. The
y doors of another safe were opened and
v we stood silent before seventy bags of
y £1,000 each, each weighing2l lbs. It was
mercifully arranged that after this the
n Shah should be taken into the open air,
e the route next lying through the gardens
i once a city churchyard, into the dividend
and Government debt offces, and across
the bullion yard to the bullion room.
Around the sides of this prison-like vault
e stoo(l trucks laden with gold bars worth
£1,600 each, one truck-load of which
not worth not a farthing less than
£80.000. Besides these there were were trifling
bags of gold coin running up the total
amount to £3.000,000, to say nothing of a
i row of bags put like naughty children
a into a corner, because they held £4,000 of
gold sovereigns.
Mynheer Groof's Flying Machine.
1 Mynheer Groof, a sanguine Flemish
t entleman, believing that he had pene
t trated the secret of a new locomotive, an
nounced the other day to the denizens of
Brunssels, Belgium, that he proposed to
Sfly. The day announced for the feat was
Sunday. Mynheer Groof had invented a
new and very ingenious pair of wings,
with what device of springs and balance
the world will probably never know. The
ronly practical dificulty with them was
that they could not raise him from the
Sground, and this task was allotted to a
balloon. In other phrase, Mynbeer Groof,
having been elevated, proposed to con
tinue elevated, and not only that, but to
use his wonderfully ingenious wings with
locomotive intent.
The day came, and the man. Take the
crowd for granted, as it is no great trouble
to gather a mob in any city under the sun I
-you have only to gaze fixedly at a
weather vane or into a shop window, to
find yourself in five minutes the center o
a mob intent on gazing also, and gazing
longer and more intently the less they I
see.
Having been lifted to the very humble
elevation of three feet, Mynheer Groof
called his wings into requisition. They I
iflapped wildly. There was a click of
Ssprings and tug of fiber; but this Flemish
Ikaros, unlike him of the legend (who
was borne sunward till the wax melted,
and then had further to drop than his i
Flemish imitator), .id not rise. That he
might have remained poised three feet in c
air until this day, had not the principle of E
gravitation interfered to spoil a beautiful
experimeit, is an obvious conclusion;
but just at this stage that well-known
stumbling block of aerostatists asserted I
its supremacy, and Mynheer Groof
dropped face down and prone on the
grounld. Nor was this failure of an am
bition for high elevation the worst of the e
case. The mob, as mobs will sometimes, o
regarded itself as swindled and Mynheer v
Groof as having obtained attention under e
false pretenses. The poor Fleming was e
stoned for his pains, and would have been
slain, but for the opportune inteference of d
the police.-N. Y. Pot. U

The other lday I sauntered Into one of the
city branch postutlices in Astor place.
After posting my letter I sought informa- f
tion from the clerk aibout the arrival and A
departure of foreign mails, etc., and find- U
ing him, as I supposed, a nice, agreeable
young man, and the office quite deserted,
e I ventured a few more interrogations on
t domestic subjects, such as his mode of
t living, amount of salary, number Of
I children, and other little harmless topics,
3 when he suddenly pulled out his port
r monnaie and handed me a little card,
D which I presumed to be an invitation to
e join his domestic circle, when to my as

To PRESERVE PLUMS WITHOUT THE
h SKINs.-Pour boiling water over large egg
or magnum bonum plums; cover them un
til it is cold, then pull off the skins. Make
a ysup of a pound of sugar and a tea
n cup of water for each pound of fruit;
make it boiling hot and pour it over; let
them remain for a day or two, then drain
off and boil again - skim it clear and pour
t it hot over the plums; let them remain
until the next day, then put them over
the fire in the syrup; boil them very
gently untilclear; take them from the
syrup with a skimmer into the pots or
t jars; boil the syrup until rich and very
thick; take off any scum which may arise,
" let it cool and settle, and pour it over the
f plums. If brown sugar is used, which is
° quite as good, except for green gages,
clarify it as directed.
SOMETIMES a taint, almost impercepti
ble, will be found on the chicken killed
D yesterday, and meant for dinner to-day,
or on the last of the steak in the bottom
of the jar. If it is a really suspicious
tain:, real decomposition, throw it away ;
but, if not. It can easily be removed in
boiling. When you put it on to cook.
1 take cold water, into which you have put
a few lumps of charcoal, tied up in a thin
t white cloth. After it has boiled awhile
take out the charcoal. The meat will be
found all right. In cooking corned beef
or pork, or a I oiled dinner, if the smell
annoys you, and you have to keep out of
the kitchen, it will be found effec nal to
put a bit of red pepper in the boiling pot,
say twice the size of your thumb nail.
DIIFFIrra ca IN BrrrR.--When a
t wholesale dealer is questioned as to the
f proportion of really fine butter he re
- ceives in his consignments, he replies, five
r per cent. A larger proportion than this
comes to market as grease. The grocer
will tell you that of all his stock good
I butter is the most difficult to procure, and
I costs him more time and trouble to select.
1 We know there is no good reason why
this should be so. Here and there seal
I tered widely apart throughout the coub
f try we know farmers to make excellent
butter, which would be classed first qual
ity in the market, and next door to those
are neighbors who would make trash un
fit for food. On the counters of country
stores may any day Le seen rolls of but
ter most widely different in color,flavor
and texture. One farmer is careful and
cleanly, his wife keeps her dairy'sweet
and her pails and pans perfectly pure;
another keeps a foul stable, milks in an
uncleanly fashion, has musty feed and
foul water for his cows, while his wife is
equally careless in her dairy. How can
the butter in these two cases be other than
widely different in quality and value?
