A Famous Dueling Ground Near the ' National Capital.

The inltiafcio.n of the spot Into ilts >ocurrei in \ grewsome usage occurred in the early part of the year 1814, when Eldiward merut. Oif the many duels that have .been ' fought here none have been more typi cal as examples of wihalt Js known as “fire eating” than that between Gener al Armiistead T. Mason, Uiuiited States senator from Virginia, and John M. McCarty. During a pollitlc,al debate in sults were freely exchanged .between the two, and Mason challenged McCair- ty, who was his cousin. The challeng ed party proposed that they juimp from the dome of the capitol, then that they fight with pistols over a barrel of pow der, and, finally, that they striiggle to the death with d'Lrlis. All these inter esting suiggestlon were objected to hy the seconds, who gravely stiglma'tized them as “unusual, extraordinary and ..'Opposed to the .code of honbr,” but the matter was settled With muskets .load ed with ball alt ten feet. It is needless to state ithat the result was most san guinary, if or Mason was’Mlled outright and McCarty recovered only after a long lllneBs. These and other duels had given the place an ill name and an evil rephta- tion, when th'e couintry was electrified by the sitantling neiws of th a t deplora ble affair in wMeh the gallant Decatur lost his life. The quarrel Wad arisen between the two post captains, Barron and Decatur, over the Incident of the seailc’h of the' ill omened Chesapeake by the Bi'iitish prior to the waa* of 1812 and the subsequent court miartial of Barron, who at that time was in com mand o f the frigate.

Urged on by interested mischief miak- ers, the dispuite was carried pas t the hope cf friendly adj.ustmen.t. All the preliminarl.es having been arranged, a duel was decided upon for March 22, J field,'and a short •ed between them 'a e men met on the conversation occurrt. w’hiLch was .evidently In a conciliatory iiheard to reply squaiea on, lacca eaiL.n, iuuubi paces, raised their pistols and at the first utterance of the signal of Che old dueling code, “One, two. three, four; stop!” fired almost simultaneously. Both fell, and Decatur’s second. Lieu tenant Bpmbridge, ruShing forward, found him to all appeamn'Ces dead. In a few moments, however, he recovered consciousness and asked to be moved to the side of his antagonist, who was seriously and at the time believed to be mortally wounded. A few almost inaudible remarks passed between them, of which enough were heiard jto ■assure the listeners 'that a reconcilia tion had taken place. Barren murmur ed something to the effect that he hop ed they would be better friends in the life to come than they had been in this, to which 'the other responded, “I haVig ly, sir.” They lifter many t _____ , — paiin, he recovered. It is a cufious fact th a t both were obsoluitely opposed to dueling on principle, but wea-o con strained, tlieone to prefer and the oth er to accept the challenge, because they believed their profession of arms for bade them to do anything else.

Thirty Thousand Infected Trees to Be Destroyed. Thirty-thousand fruit trees, com prising the entire orchards of D. C. and G. M. Bacon in Mitchell county, Georgia, are to go up in smoke as a result of the ravages of the dreaded San Jose scale. This is the order of State Entomologist W. M. Scott, who has recently returned from the or chards of Mitchell county, where he found the scale-riden trees too far gone for treatment. The destruction of an orchard of 30,- OOO trees is no small matter, as it means the loss of thousands of dollars annually to the owner, but Messrs. D. 0. & C. M. Bacon have agreed thor oughly with the state entomologist that nothing can be done to save the orchards in Mitchell county, and have consented to Burn the trees as'a mat ter of justice to the neighbors and to prevent the further spread of the San scale in that section. This is at a great sacrifice, as the fruit is 1,000 a year at the lowest es- Entomologist Scott stated that he found the trees in the worst condition possible, with millions of scales cling ing to the limbs, which were already more than half dead. In ifhe immedi-' ate neighborhood of De Witt, Ga., in the counties of Ii'win, Berrien, Worth and Mitchell are more than 300,000 fruit bearing peach trees, and in jus tice to the owilers of neighboring or chards, as well a s to perform a service for the state, Mr. G. M. Bacon notified entomoligts that he would burn his bard on January 1, and that his ther, D. C. Bacon, had agreed to' do th ^ r spread of the £ th at section. This worth $25, timate.

Said a Washington man: \While the naming of the sti’eets in Washington is simple and easy to follow to resi dents, to the stranger it is most confus ing, owing to the way in which the avenues cut diagonally across the num bered and lettered streets and these streets calmly move a half a block away before again taking up their line of march. If a stranger, say, was go ing up Firteenth streetfi when he got to K, although the street sv/ings there slightly to the right and proceeds on a different angle, he would undoubtedly continue along it with serene confi dence that he was still in Fifteenth street, whereas he in reality would be in Veimont avenue, while the real Fifteenth street is half a block north- ard.
