THE LAST DUELS IN AMERICA. 



The last duel occured in Augusta county, 

 .early Saturday morning, June 30, 1883. 

 The penultimate one came off near Rich- 

 mond, at sunrise on Sunday, June 6, 1880. 

 iS'obody wa« killed in either, fortunately ; 

 but one who was a principal m each of them 

 was dangeriDusly wounded in both. The 

 last fatal duel was that between Mordecai 

 and McCarty, which was fought near Rich- 

 mond in 1872, wherein Mordecai was killed 

 and McCarty very badly wounded. — W. C. 

 Elum, in May Lippincoti's. 



SPRING FEVER IN THE FEET. 



If that very painful and troublesome 

 complaint, spring fever in the feet, is pres- 

 ent, the hot foot-bath should be used every 

 night, adding a spoonful of alum to the salt 

 and mustard, and rubbing the feet after- 

 wards with alcohol and lemon-juice in equal 

 proportions, or with a weak solution of car- 

 bolic acid. This treatment will speedily 

 reduce the swelling, and the tired feeling 

 and soreness are at once relieved by either 

 lotion. They are so valuable remedies 

 that they ought to be on every toilet-table. 

 — From " Spring Ailments," in Demorest's 

 Magazine for April.
