KMe Btoeet* Ogecefte Choteau Bouse Citizens of llie United Stales are cordially detested by Chilians, who seldom miss an opportunity to insult men from our coun fry. So long; ago as when brave Commodore Talnall, a native of Georgia, whose remains rest m Bonavantuie cenutiry, Savan nah, was a midshipman on hoard i he Essex, in the early *30’s, his ship cast anchor in the harbor of Valparaiso, on the eve of a grand ball tendered by the upper classes fo Admiral Lynch, an Irish officer w ó had been cashiered from th- Brit sh navy for crooked financial transactions. He then took '•or vice as high admiral of (lie Chil ian navy, and his n one is honored to this day by attaching il to the famous cruiser Almirante Lynch. Lynch hated the United States navy, as he had been poundlv thrashed in the war of 1812 1815 in the Java by the Constitution, and bo he asked the ball commit tee to exclude the Yankees, as he termed our officers, and excluded they were, but the Engl.sh, French and Russian officers in port were all invited and lionized by the fair señoritas. Of coutse this shabby treatment was rose; t ed by our galh,lit men, and it needed but one spark 1o enkindle the auger which slumbered in lheir bosoms, and that spatk sprang into life w hen, on tlie fol (owing day, a chance meeling of British and United States officers in a cafe ended in a mutual mis understanding about some matter incident to the ball. One of the Englishmen called an American a liar and was promptly knocked down and challenged to fight a duel within 10 hours. The Eng lishman chose pistols and the dis tance 14 paces. The American selected young Tat nail for his sec end, who selected tli£ place and time for the meeting, 10 o’clock that nighty by the light of a full moon on the fashionable beach promenade. Said Tat nail; “ We invite ail the ladies and gentlemen of Val paraiso to the American ball on bench. We bear no malice to those whu slighted us. Our bullets are ready to enter the bodies of all who insult us.” At the time ap pointed thousands of citizens thronged the grounds, principals and seconds appealed, the ground paced off. Here the English sec ond- objected to the distance, ! which in his opinion was too short. Tatnell refused to make any con cessions, but offered to fight him then and there with pistols across a pocket handkerchief. The dispute ended by the Eng iish second hacking down, and the principals were placed, to fire at the word given by a French officer. The Englishman fell badly wound ed at tiie first fire, but the Ameri can emerged unhurt. All the Americans were knowu to be dead phots, so the British officers regarded the simple wounding of their comrade as a maik of magnanimity, and ten dered a dinner on the following day to the Americans. Years afterward wh n TatnalJ. a commodore in Chinese waters, uttered his famous sentence, ‘ Blood is thicker than water ’'and through phot, shell and bid ets from the Canton forts, forced his ships to the relief of the British admiral whose ship was sinking, it was to assist a friend first met on the duelling ground in Chili years before.—Atlanta Journal. S opping li n Paper Every country editor is ac quainted with the fellow who takes papers as long as he can get them on credit, and then attempts to pay f<>r them by writing on a postal card,‘'stop my paper.” His meanness would make Judas Iscariot ashamed to he in his com patty. Evidence of prosperity in any community-i* apparent in the prosperity of the newspapers pub lished for the henefit of that, com munity Generous patronageot the newspapers not only indielates a healthy condition of local trade, but it also serves to strengthen and energize the public spirit, without which the stimulus of business becomes spathetic and eventually dormant.—Newspaper man.
