Twain Duel Tale and a National Political Column
A humorous excerpt relays Mark Twain recounting a Virginia City duel with Mr. Lord, including a feisty barn door practice, a bird shot, and a warning against dueling. The piece shifts to a Washington letter criticizing Senator Conklin and praising Samuel J. Tilden, then to Blaine’s maneuvering on campaign finance reform, followed by a North Carolina Democratic committee report and a long local letter about a neighbor’s wife borrowing everything. The compilation mirrors a 1876-era newspaper column blend.
