trousers, tin- ?? flu-era of the French ataff
iiM-iiible the Soudan K<m?e, :i reddened

("apt Sp.tdaso'*, id' the staff, has taken
uffeuee ut this comparison, aud M Tar.
tine, ahn. loving the army, would at
any other moment have tendered an
apology, hus From the simple fact, of
filling the editorial chair fur u day, ami
being out of temper during his t nurc
of offioe. indorsed his brother journal ist'."
libel, aud declared himself personally
responsible. Accordingly Cs1pt.Spud.4Sje
nnd M. Tart tue, arc going tu try aud
run cat It other through with foils at
Im lt-past eight o'clock iu the morning in
the Wood of ViuccUIK'B. This ia what
in civilized countries is termed ''an
; fLir of honor." j
M. Tartiue's two friends are MM.
Plunieau and de Linea, both of the J
Ciyure ; Capt. Spadusae's, Lieut, do
Pierrafeu and Viscount da Curacol?,
both of tbo stuff. L'ajK. Spadaaae being
the insulted part j has bad the choice of
weapous, und has selected foils, because
he is a good fincer; M. Tartiuo, who is
ulso a good fencer, as every Purisuin
journalist need be, ia rejoiced at this
selection. The prospect of the duel bus
caused some excitement at the Cijarc
office, not because tbe duel is any thing
new to that most respected organ, but
because a delicate question has arisen
which Ute editor alone was quite compe
tent to solve, aud has solved. The ques
tion was ibis: Considering that the
paragraph about tbo Soudun goo.cc was
uot written by M. Tarliue, but by M.
Hector Soupeuulaif, aged twenty-two.
hud A. T aititie any right to take the
glorious consequences of it on bis own
shoulders ? M. Seupeuuluit routeuds
no. lie ha* never yet fought a duel,
und this brush with mi officer of the staff
is just tho opportunity he hod lo^g been
awaiting of getting into public notice
He thinks hinu-elf ill used M. Tartiuo.
?hi the other band, urines that the para
graph having been signed with a now
de pi time s and not with M. So open u la it's
real name, tbe responsibility ot it r>t>ted
with the ?ctingeditor; and that, further;
the duel having resulted much less from
tbe parngrnph itself than from the tone
adopted by M.Tartiue in uusweriug M.
?spadasse'a expostulutions, it ia tMiques
tt nubiy npo.i him that the hoiiof f tbe
-g W^fj: * tui.Oi, iieWlllg
the case with uti equal eye, has admitted
M. 'Inrtiue s train.a to be Pound, und on
alt cooota Oowattud the plaintiff. This
lias been a jit'reut griel tu M. ttunpuauluit.
! icpnrutory to a duel it h the usual
tustoiii ol the eointiatatits to spend a
1? w bums with their respective fencing
u.asters; M. Turtiue has not disdained
the practice, and, ihuugh uu old huud io
ibis Mirt ol business, ho has listened
wtcii his wi iited deference to the coun
sels about keeping one's eye steady, ouo's
?ritt fit in, and one's body wall thrown
back. "Now, then, lungeroars out
the fencing-muster, und M. Tartiuo
lunges. "Ye*; that's it, but muke ruther
less play with your elbow ; tho mistake
ttbout otviliaus is that they dou't believe
enough in the wrist, und tile wr.si s
?very thing," suys tho If. M. "Now,
then, lauge ?'tum;" and tbis time M
iuitlue makes Pitch a Scientific thrust
that hts foil bends like a half eiruld, aud
looks tU it it were- going ta snap. "Good!
cries the muster, "but rather t?o good;
it that thhtat were parried you'd be off
your balance aud not ublo to cover in
titne. Seel" and quick as a flash M
Tariinc** foil \s clicked aside, and bo
ibro be can break he is spotted just
where the right lung works. He laughs.
"If my antagonist were as prompt as
you, I should make my will to-night."
''The Staff ire always good swor Ismen,"
answers the F. M. "They have nothing
eise to do. This is how 1 class the arm;.:
Staff, inlantry, light cavalry, engineers,
heavy cavalry, artillory. Your Capt.
Spadusse is a tough unto; I know him;
but never mind that, keep your eye to
the frout, and I answer fur you." With
this blcssiug M. Tartinn takes off his
mask, while the fencing-master wraps
up iu baiie a pair of dcft-Iuoking wenp
oiis, which be kindly lone* out to hia
pupils on occasions like the present, and
which, sa>a he, have doue a pretty
amuuiit of bleed in- in their day M.
Tariiue knows thum for old friends, and
consigns them to MM Plumeau and
de Linea. Then he dr ceres, strolls home
with hia Iriends, lingering just Ion
enough mi the ray to take a glass of
vermouth, and once homo is for sitting
dow? und wri itig hia next day's chroni
<|uc, but that 1:is fricud protest with
energy and indignation, forcing him to
go tu bed on the spot, and exacting the
most solemn pledge that ho will not get
up tigain wi)? ii they are gone. M. Tar
tine reluctantly premises, und with eyes
fixed ou the fireplucc, where the embers
of a fire of beech logs are dying out,
soon after falls in'o slumber and steeps
the sleep of the just.
The wiuter morning is breaking gray
ly over Paris, when the two Iriends re
appear on tho morrow with a roomy cab
nijd a surgeon. The surgeon is the
damping feature of these opisodus. He
scans you. appears tD weigh mentally
how mach blood there is in your veins,
und reveals by the bulginess of bis coat
tails that he has brought au instrument
ease with him. Then in shaking hands .
nothing con prevent his extending bis I
forefinger so as to touch your pulse and
in a voice that sounds knoll like, though
it is meant to l?e encouraging, he says,
"You'll du." There is a controversy,
among doctors as to the best thing to
drillk lefurc starting; anuio say black
coffee, others brandy ami water, others
nothing at a)I. M. Tartine's surgeun
suggests coffee for the patient?that is
the combatant?und -the other mixture
for the rest uf the company ; also amoke
ft r everybody except M. Tartinc, who is
heat without it. So while M. Turtino
drcSKS, M. Pluiiicnu tunke* coffee with
a spirit-of wine lamp, .M. Linea mixes
one third of pale cognac, to two thirds
of aq pur., and the surgeon helps him
self to trubueos. All this is doue quick
ly though for the Wood ol Vincenucs is
Kate's own distance away, nud there is a
very pardonable wish ou tho part of the
whole circle to be first ou the ground.
M. Tariiue is soru dressed; nud the sttr
geon takes this opportunity of drawing
M. Plumcnu aside and asking whether
a little sal-volatile wuuld not be?-hut
(he look >]. IMiimean casts him is so
luden with strong protest on behalf of
his friend-, that the surgeon mumbles an
"1 beg pardon." and coucludcs that de
cidedly this M. Turtioe is not a man to
be apprehensive about. Iu a few mo/e
minutes everything is ready, tho coffee
is sipped, add the brandy and Water
gulped; M. Tartine obtains, alter a
little pleading, permission to light a
cigar like the rest, on tho ground that
it is iuvariuble custom so to do ; and
then, walking on tiptoe so ari Id wake as
few us possioie ot the ottior lodgers., the
whole party stalks, stealthy nud clood
encompass* d, down the stairs. O course
the cabman tecs at a glance on what
sort uf errand be is going; and his fea
tures brenk into a smile, fur He likes
ilila kind of faro, well knowing that,
whiuhefeT Way tho chance turns, hia
day's receipts Will be (ho better for it,
duellists being generous for go o 1 lue!;.
Two lings compose his team, and he
whips them into a race trot. The eurly
baker, with basket on his back and yards
of broad tapering out like the masts ol
u ship, turns round on the pavement to
look; tho milk-woman in her donkey
carl, with bright itu pails around her,
^ets knrstily out of tbe Way, and olaiuors
remonstrances ; a pair of night police
men waiting at a street comer to be
relieved notitie the baize covering of the
toils held fishing rod wise between M.
lMumouu'S knees, wink to oaeh other
and smile ; und a ragman, who hat tfeeu
more than oue trip auob is (his since he
has plied his small-hour avocations iu
Paris, waves bis crook at though to say,
"I know-what you're ebwat, owsaiours;
but it's tame sport a* the bust." Five
and twenty minutes after starting foci
Bastille is reached; in another tea
minutes the FaUbourg St. Antoitie,
metropolis of cabioet makers, is cleared;
and, breasting with uodiminishcd tigor
the onCe magnificent but (since the
siege) half denuded Avenue de Vin
cc tines, the two cab ?torses make tho
best of their way toward the donjon
keep, which has served as a State prison
in former times, and will bo doubt do so
again, an it please Heaven. During
this while tho conversation inside tbe
cab has turned on the weather, Which is
fine, on the springs of the eab,?which
are less so,?and on the paragraph,
cause of the impending strife. M. Tar
tine declares that he regrets this para
graph as muck as any man, and shall
certainly as soon as ever the duel is
over say so. "Why not say it before
the duel f" asks the surgeon. But to
this M. Tartine replies at btfee with great
energy, "Never!" thus proclaiming his
adherence to those time hallowed prin
ciples of honor which permit a man to
declare himself in the wrong once he
has run his adversary through the body,
but on no account before that A). Tar
tine is still dilating on this subject, when
the eab begins to slacken speed ; then it
turns, and finally stops nr the place
agreed upon ? a sequestered nook of
wood, which really for cutting a man's
throat, or having otio's vowo cat, is as
pleasant a locality as need be. The
literury patty lutvc preceded the military
by just four minutes; put the officers
are in excellent time so-far us tho up
poiutmeut is concern*, d, mobody has
any reason to blush, ('apt. Spadusse is
in plain clothes, so is Lieut, de Pierrafeu,
but Viscount de Carucule,.being ou duty
that day with his chief, da in uniform,
und, forsooth, instead of resembling a
Soudan goose, ho looks in his frogged
jacket and gold aiglets a .very smart
young fjCntlcmau. A military surgeon
who ticeompauhs tbe officers is also in t
uniform, and wears epccta&s. There is !
some ceremonious bowing nil round, add
then for form's sake t^!W;ar seconds
advance and confer, with every appear
ance ol gravity, as to whether a recon
ciliation is not possible; during this
colloquy the military surgeon, a min of
method, opcus his instrument-case and
lays it on the grass. Of course a recon
ciliation is not possible. Capt. Spadasse
cr.uld over look the goose allusion, but
thera bus been nn article in the Oigarc
headed "Pitctoriu'?sin," which is most
offensive to the whole service, and blood
shed is absolutely necessary. Capt.
Spadasse has even stripped himself of
his coat and waistcoat while bis seconds
are conferring ; seei.ig which, M. Tar
tine immediately follows suit, and ulso
casts off his boo'a because of the slippery
turf. Another minute, and the comba
tauts are face to face; then nothing re
mains but to feel under their shirts to
sec (hat they wear no breust-plates (a |
humiliating formality, but customary.)
and to baud them each u foil, which
formalities being accomplished, there is
a moment's pause, alid tho two cabmen,
who are looking ou at tl e scene from
their boxes, uppcar lor the first time to
feel uncomfortable. Not so, however,
the seconds. Whether it be (hat artistic
mm tic haa less (errors for" them, or that
they intuitively feel that there is nothing
very terrible going to happen, they all
maintain a countenance of ph:lo*<>phical
placidity?and, to tell tbr truth, when
the word is given and the principals
eugage, the tndittereuec of these abettors I
becomes (o a Corf tin extent jusiitiud.
Capt. Spadasse, who has his plans for
this winter's amusement, bus no wish to
be placed under arrest for a month for
slaying M. Turtine, and this pro-occupit
tioo reveals itself in his studied care (o
keepOJ guard instead of attacking. On his
side M. Tartine wpuld radier learn 4 whole
pago of the Journal OJJiciel by Wfiart ?
? o painless labor ? than do serious
harm to Capt. Spadasse, and his chief
aim is only to give such a thrust as bhall
rip open two inches of his enemy's shirt
sleeve, wi h perhaps half un inch of'Bkin
beyond it. Animated by these mutually
considerate thoughts, the two fighters
made a defensive show of it. They fein*,
recover, clink break, and in a general
*ay try to look us if they meant busi
ness to any extent ? without accom
plishing it. The only objection to this
form of duelling is this ; if the feinting
lasts too long, uno both swordsmen dm
cover each other's strength, they are apt
W get Excited, and to make a vanity
question-as to who shaH draw the first
blood; so that many ? eVcel which has
begun with most benevolent! disposi
tions 70 cither side has ended abruptly
I with the thud of a sword-hilt against
the filth rib, and a panic-stricken de
mand for a hut-die to carry borne the
dead body upon. Happily, in M. Tar
tine's ease, however, all such gloomy
climax is avoided. At the fifth or sixth
pass, tbe captain) growing tired of it,
attacks; M. Tartihb parties j the cap
tain stamps his foot and tries again j M.
Tartine responds; *but somehow tbe
swords in the medley become entangled
and both thrust together ? with this
result, that the captain's shirt-sleeve gets
ripped oped as if with a pair of scissors,
and M. Tartine loses a piece of his owfi
shirt-front just near the collar-bone.
This is enough for all the exigencies of
the case. The four seconds busily in
terfere to staunch the blood. Each man
has a wound the tenth of an inch deep
aud about three inches long, something
like a good pin scratch. The surgeous
hurry to the fore with lint and collodion;
and it is unanimously declared that the
honor of all concerned is satisfied.
An hour later tbe whole party are
breakfasting together like gallant rivals
in the chief hotel of Vinceones.*
'?And now will you tell me," laughs
Capt. Kpadusse, as he helps 31. Tartine
to Chablis, "why you all us Pncto
rions '!"
"Bah !" smilca M. Tartine, "the arti
cle wasn't mine, nnd I don't know whose
it was. When 1 read it in priut I
t bought I was drcaminsr."
"Dreatuiug about the Soudun." inter
poses M. de Caracole, laughing in his
turn, and he iustautly add.-, ??Wo will
use our small influence with the govern
or to get the interdict on the Cigarr
repealed."
?T never doubted the generosity of
the army," says M. Tartine, bowing.
"Nor we the loyalty of the press,"
answers Capt. Spadasse, rotnruing tho
bow.
Perhaps it would have been as logi
cal if all theso explanations bad tnk ,-:>
place yesterday instead of to day," cuts
in tbo civilian surgeon onee again, with
a shrug.
"Pardon me, dear colleague,-" rejoins
the military one politely/"tho laws of
honor are not things to be lightly set
i lide."?Pull MttU Gazette.
A Palace tor Horse** 1
Every detail exhibited (he ttfoet per
fect adaptation and taste. Truly a palace
would be a more appropriate name fur
so perfect and expensive a stable, five
large stalls on each aide of a wide alley;
the divisions are about tux feet high,
with an iron railing extending around
{lie top, completely isolating each occu
pant from tho others, as well as ffotn
the gaze of visitors. As the door is
open to admit Joe Elliot to his stall, I
notice there is no manger; the hay is
eaten frcm the fl?or. In one corner is
an iron receptacle for feeding grain. It
is low, very simple, and convenient.
The nearer nature is imitated the better.
That I knew and often advised. There
is moro economy nnuVless trouble to feed
from a mungcr than from a rack, yet in
nineteen out of twe*ity stables through
the country, the manger will be found
po high and exlouding so far out over
tho head that a horse of ordinary size
in not reach up to eat his hay, and in so
doing sifts the seed and dust from it
upon his head aud eyes. Nature has
designed the horse to est his food from j
%nc grodud, else the pasturage would be I
r?lscd to a level with his head. The
pro'per oxercrso of the muscles of the
forelegs and shoulders requires this, aud
a neglect rtf it is ofNin the cause of weak
knocs. While looking at the floor, .Mr
Bonuer anticipated ttty inquiry, by say
ing: "The floor is made: up by a scries of
sluts, with spaces between large enough
to allow the passage c* water. Beneath
there is a water-tight floor, with a pitch
of two inches ou one aido for drainage. 1
with the fulsu flooring just th-jt much i
thicker add higher on that side." The ,
extra flooring is tKf Constructed id two |
aectioiu; that it *nn be raised froni the
centre both ways, and placed on edge
when removing the accumulation of
objeetkrvoblS matter bc.ieath. At this
tinie my attention wns culled to tho j
occupauta td" avftVe'of the other stalls.;
"Here/' said Bonner,"is Princess, Flora
Temple'* greatest competitor. When 1
buaght her, a short trine ago, and placed ]
her uaaVr my treatment, t?IYc moved- he* ,
a foundered Honrs. This 1 kuow was
the effect of contraction and bad shoeing.
This result ol uiy treatment i* proof of
the'eorrectaues of my jddgtttedt, as you
see she now moves ns freely and natural
ly as any other horse. Sh's is a iiittlej
vicious, and wc will take her ID hand
when convenient if yon wish." Princess
looked at me with suspieion, bnt I rooo
made her ladyship submit to a ca> *es.
Of an irritable nature, She deeded care
ful handling and a little watching id I
prevent a soap judgment la the way of]
a kick. The next horse shown me was
i bay, four years old, named Startle,
one of the finest modeled horses of his
age I ever saw, and from present acounto
is the coming horse; he has already
made the fastest time on record by a
horse of his age.
'?See what an arm, a Shoulder? a loin,"
said Mr. Bouoer, c'alUtrg my attention
to tho Various points Constituting a great
trotter; and so thoroughly does he seem
to have studied the points necessary for
speed and endurance that, I am* convin
ced, ho could at a glance select a trotter
from a large drove. The next horse
shown me was the peerless De'Sie'r.
Many a man, or woman either, would,
I imagine, feel it an honor to caress this
greatest of horses, but like a true king,
as he is, he will not permit familiarity
from a stranger; yet towards his master
he seems to evince the greatest affection,
following him with the docility of the
most gentle pot, while at the approach
of others he shows instant resentment.
Intending to renew my visit to the
stable next morning, I was now conduc
ted by Mr. Bonner to his private rest
dence. Seated in his library, the topic
of his eonter-rttfou became that of prices
paid. I am able to give the prices paid
for the following named horses:

ties added a quaint effect of contrast to
the suddenness of the following answer
which the worthy president uuoe received
tfud trtosh il'.ustrates the principle that
"ridicule is the test of truth." In the
railroad cars one day the President
descried one of hts students, a youth

not yet over the effects of a debauch.

him sternly yet sndly in tho face, the

tone:

"So have I," was tho answer.
