Accordingly Capt. Spud..s$e I and M. Tartine, are going to ny und run each other through with foils at j halt-past eight o'clock in the morning in the Wood of VinceuncS. This is what J in civilized ecu Ulrica is termed ''au ; ; fLir uj honor." j M. Tarttue's two friends are MM. l'lutueau and de Linen, both of the J Ciyure; Capt. Spaduxse'fj Lieut. *le Pierrufeu aud Viscount da Caracul?, both of tho stuff, ('opt. Spadaase being the insulted partj has had the choice of mcapons, and has selected foils, because he ia u pood fencer; M. 'I'artiiic. who is also a good fencer, as every Parisian journalist need be, is rejoiced at this selection. The prospect of the duel has caused some excitement at the Oigarc office, not because the duel is any thing new to that most respected organ, but because a delicate question bun uriseti which the editor alone Was quite compe tent to solve, aud has solved. The ques tion was ihis: Considering that the paragraph about the Soudan goose was uot written by M. Tartine, but by M. Hector Soiipeaulait, aged twenty-two, had A. Tartine any right to take the glorious consequences of it on bis own shoulders? M. Soupeauluit contends no He has never yet fought a duel, and this brush with an officer of the staff is just I ho opportunity he had long been awaiting of ^ctlitip into public notice lie thinks himtelf ill-used M. Tartine. on the other band, urines that the para graph having been signed with a nom tic plume s and not wilh M. SonpoHulait's real name, the responsibility ot \\ rVfeted with ?be acting editor j and that, further, the duel having n-snlted much less from the paragraph' itself than from the tone adopted by M. Turtiue in uusweriug M. Spudusso'u expostulations, i: is enques ti uubly Ui.o.i him that the hotn.r f the | meeting deVOltes. '1 he editor, viewiv? iiiu cuse with uti equal eye, has admitted M.

So?pcaulait. i icparat. ry to a duel it is the usual lusiom oi the coiiittutants to spend a >i w hours with their respective fencing' .i.asters ; At Turtiue has not disdained the practice, urn), though an old baud in ihm sort ol business, he has listeued vvita his wonted deference to the Couu sei? about keeping one's eye steady, oueV wriat til in, and one's body wwll thrown I b.icW. "jNow, theU| lunge ?'' roan* out I tlie fencing-umster, und M. Turtiue lunges. "Yes; that's it, but make rather j le>s play with your elbow ; tho mistake I about civilians U that they doli t believe i enough in the wrist, and the wr.si s every thing," says the V. M. ".Now, thou, lunge again;" aud this time .'<) lurtlnc makes Pitch a Scientific tbrusi that his foil bfebda like a half circle, and looks us it it were- going to snap. "Good! erieS the master, "but rather too good ; it that thrust were purrtod you'd be off your balance ami not able to cover in time: Seel" aud quick as a flush M TariiuV? foil hi clicked a^idc, nnd be fore he cnu break he is spotted just where the rijjit lung works. He latighs. "If my antagonist were as prompt no 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 I class the aim;: Stuft", inlantry, light cavalry, engiuoers, heavy cavalry, artillery. Your Capt. Spudasse is a tough man* I kuuw him; but never mind that, keep your eye to the trout, and I auswer for you." With this blessing M. Tartiun takes off his musk, while the fencing-master wraps up in buize a pair of deft-looking weap ons, which he kindly loaes out to his pupils on occasions like the present, and which, Kaya he, have doue a pretty amount of bleeding in their day M. Tartinc knows them for old friends, nod coiiaigiiH them to MM l'lumenu and de Linea. Then he drerree, strolls home with his (rtends, lingering juH lodg enough ou the tray to tuke u glass of vormouth, und once homo in fur" sitting d? wu ttttd wri ing his next day's chroni i|U'e, but that his friend protest with energy mid indignation, forcing him to go tu bed on the spot, and exacting the most (solemn pledge that ho will not get up again when they arc gone. M. Tar tine reluctantly promises, and with eyes | fixed on the fireplace, where tbc embers df u fire of beech logs are dying oUt, soon after falls into slumber and sleeps the sleep of the just. The wiuter morning is breaking gray - ly over Pulls, when the t?vo triends re-: appear on the morrow with a roomy cib j attd a surgeon. The surgeon is the damping feature of these opisodes. He scans you, appears tD weigh mentally how much blood there is in your veins, and icveals by the bulgineas of his coat tails that he has brought no instrument ease with him. Then in shaking hands aothing can prevent his extending his ' forefinger so as to touch your pulse and i in a voice that sounds knell like, though I it is meant to be encouraging, he sayH, i "You'll do." There is a controversy among doctors as to the best thing to diiilk I efore starting; some say black coffee, othei.* brandy and water, others : nothing at all. M. Tartine's surgeon J suggests coffee for the patient?that is i the combatant?and the other mixture for the rest of the company ; also smoke f r everybody except .M. Tartinc, who is best without it. So while M. Tartino drcfr>c8, M. IMuincau makes coffee with a spirit-of-wino lamp, M. Linea mixes one third of pale Cognac, to two thirds of aq pur.f and the 'urgooii helps him self to trabueut. All thia is done quick ly though for the Wood ol Vincuoucs is Kate's own distance away, and there is a very pardonable wish on the part of the whole circle to be firnt on the ground. M. Tartine is sum dressed; and the sur geon takes this opportunity of drawing M Plumcnu aside and asking whether a little sal-volstile would not be?but the look M. 1 Mumeu u easts him is bo laden with strong protest on behalf of his friend-, that the surgeon mumbles an ??I beg pardon," and concludes that rc ctrlcdly this M Tartinc is oot u man to be apprehensive about. In a few more minutes everything is ready, the coffee is sipped, and lite brandy nud Water gulped; M. Tartine obtains, after a little pleading, permission to light a cigar like the rest, on the ground that it is iuvnriable custom so to do ; and then, walkiug on tiptoe so ntt to* wake as -;rr possible of the other lotigerS, the whole party stalks, stealthy and clond e n com pass* d, down the stairs. U course the cabman sees ut a {.'lance on what sort of errand he is going; and his fea tures break into a smile, for he likes i)t)s MoU of fare, well knowing that, whichever Way the chance turns, hia day's receipts will be the bettor tor it, duellists being generous for good luek. Two nags compose his team, und he whips them into a race trot. The early baker, with basket Oil his back and yards of bread tapering out like the masts ol a ship, turns round ou the pavement to look ; the milk-woman in her donkey curt, with bright tin pnils mound her. ,:ets b'lHtiiy out id'the way, and clamors remonstrances; a pair of night police men watting at a struct corner to be relioved notice the baise oovoring of the foils held fishing rod wise between M. IMumeuu's knees, wink to o?'.*.'h other and smile ? und a ragman, who hart seen more than one trip such -is this since he hus plied bin smrtll-hotsr avocations iti Paris, waves his crook us though to say, "I know-what you're nbetot, utesaiuurs but it's tame sport at the bust." Five 'and twenty minutes after starting On v Hastille is reached; in another ten uiinutes the Faubourg St. Autoiue, metropolis of cabinet makers, is cleared ; und, breasting with undiminiahed vigor the once magnificent but (since the siege) half denuded Avenue do Vin ceunes, the two cab horses make tho best of their way toward the donjon keep, which has pcrved as a Stute prison in former times, and will no doubt do so again, an it please Heaven. During this while the conversation inside the cab has turned on the weather, Which is fine, ou the springs of the cab,?which arc less so,?aud on the paragraph. cause of the impending strife. M. Tar tine declares that he regrets this para graph as much as any man. ami shall certainly as soon as ever the duel is over say so. "Why not Bay it before the duel?'' asks the surgeon. Hut to this M. Tartine replies at once with great energy, "Never!" thus proclaiming his adherence to those time hallowed prin ciples of honor which permit a man to declaro himnelf in the wrong once he has run his adversary through the body, but on no account before that M. Tar tine is ?tili dilating ou this subject when the cab begins to slacken speed ; then it turns, and finally stops at the place agreed upon?a sequestered nook of wood, which really for cutting a man's throat, or haviurj one's own cut, is as pleasant a locality as used be. The literary paity have preceded the military by just four minutes; but the olhccrs are in excellent time so far an the ap pointment is concern, d, So ?nobody has any reason to blush. Capt. Spadasse is in plain clothes, so is L cut.dc Pierrufeu, but, Viscount de Caracole, being ou duty that day with his chief, is in uniform, and, forsooth, instead of resembling a Soudan goose, he looks in his fmggod jacket ami gold aiglets a very smart young r.eutleimuJ. A military surgeon who Dceompani'JS the officers is also in 1 uniform, aud wears spectacles. There is ! some ceremonious bowing alt round, and then for form's sake tlr"*ar*fjjr secoudu advance and confer, with every appear ance ol gravity, as to whether a recoil cili.ition is not possible ; during this colloquy the military surgeon, a man of method, opens his iustrumcnt-caso ami lays it on the grass. Of course a recon ciliation is not possible. Capt. Spadasse cr.uld over look the goose allusion, but there bus been an article in the Cigare headed "PrfCrOrhv'hnn," 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 i?i* seconds are conferring ; Beei.ig which, M. Tar tine immediately follows suit, und also casts off bis boo's because of the slippery turf. Another minute, nnd the comba tants are face to face; then nothing re mains but to feel under their shirts to see that they wear no breast plates (a humiliating formality, but customary.) aud to hand them each a foil, which formalities being accomplished, there is u moment's pause, ami the two cabmen, who nre looking on tit tie scene from their boxes, uppcar lor the fir*t time to feel uncomfortable. Not so, however, the seconds. Whether it be that urnrtic murder h ... less letters f'->f Ilium, or that they intuitively feel that there is nothing very terrible going to happen, they all maintain a countenance ol philosophical placidity?and, to tell the truth, when tho wfril j- l' :- und i!iu principals C'iga"ge, the indifference of these abettors becomes to a Certain extent justified. Capt. Spadasse, who has his plans for this winter's amusement, has no wish to be placed under arrest for a month for slaying M. Tartine. and this preoccupa tion reveals itself in his studied care to keepojguurd instead of attacking. On his side .M. Tartine would rather loam i whole page of the Journal (>?ici>l by heart ? no 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 im?' *sof bis enemy's shirt sleeve, wi h perhaps half all inch of skin beyond it. Animated by these mutually considerate thoughts, the two fighters made a defensive show of it. They feint, recover, clink break, and in a general stay try to look us if they meant busi ness to any extent ? without accom plishing it. The only objection to this form of duelling it this ; if the feinting I lasts too lung, und both swordsmen dis I cover each other's strength, they are apt tj get excited, and to maLe a vanity question as to who shall draw the first ' bleed; so that many a duel which has ' begun with most benevolent drsposi 1 tions on ciflior aide bar ended abruptly with the thud of a sword-hilt against the fifth rib, and a panic-stricken de mand for a hurdle* to carry homo the dead body upon. Happily, in M. Tar tine's case, however, all such gloomy climax is avoided. At the fifth or sixth puss, the captain, growing tired of it, attacks; M. Tartinc parries ; the cap tain stamps his foot and tries agalti ; M. Tartinc responds ;*but somehow the swords in the medley become entangled and both thrUst together ? with this result, that the captain's shirt-sleeve gels ripped open as if with a pair of scissors, und M. Tnrtiue loses a piece of bis own shirt-frout just near the collar-bone. This is enough fur all the exigencies of the case. The four seconds busily in terfere to staunch the blood. Each man has a wouud the teuth of au inch deep and about three inches loug, something like a good pin scratch. The surgeous hurry to the fore with lint aud collodion; and it is unanimously declared that the honor of all concerned is satisfied. An hour later the whole party arc breakfasting together like gallant rivals iti the chief hotel of Vinccnncs.* "Aud now will you tell me," laughs Cnpt. f'padasse, as he helps M. Tarti.ic to Chablis, "why you all us Praeto rians V "Hah !" smiles M. Tartinc. "the arti cle wasn't mine, and I don't know whose it was. When 1 read it in priut I j thought I was dreaming." "Dreaming about the Soudan." inter- j poses M. do Caracole, laughing in his ^ turn, aud he instantly adds. -'Wo will use our small influence with the goveru- I er to get the interdict on the Ciyirc ; repealed." I "I never doubted the generosity of j ihe army," says M. Tarttue, bovring. "Nor we the loyalty of the press," | answers ('apt. Spndtwse, rcturuing the bow. i "Perhaps it would have been as logi I cal if nil these explanations bad tak :u place yesterday instead of to day," cuts iu tho civilian surgeon onec again, with a shrug. "Pardon me. dear eolleagOe," rejoins ! the military one politely,- "tho laws of honor are not thingR to be lightly set ! aside."?Hid J/.t// Gazette. A Palace for* Horse?? Every detail exhibited (he most per fect adaptation and taste. Truly u palace would be a more appropriate name for so perfect und expensive a stable. Five large stalls on each aide of a wide alle)'; I the divisions are about six feet high, with an iron railing extending around }he top, completely isolating each occu pant from the others, as we'll as ffOrtn the gaze of visitors. As the door is open to admit doe Elliot to his stall, 1 notice there is no manger; the hay is eaten from the 11 >or. In one corner is an iron receptacle tor feeding grain. It is low. very simple, and convenient, j The nearer nature is imitated the better. That I knew and often advised. There | is more economy and*less trouble to feed from a manger than from a rack, yet in nineteen out of twenty stables through the country, the manger will be found so high and extending so far out over I the head that a horse of ordinary size I I must reach up to eat his hay. and iu so doing sifts the seed and dust from it upon bis head and eyes. Nature has i o - ? itgm -[ the horso to eat his food from 1 *)t? gtotlud, else the pasturage would be 1 raised to a level with his head. The j proper exercise of the muscles of the ! lorelegs and shouidors requires this, ami j a neglect of it is often the ouuse of weak j knees. While Imking at the floor, Mr Bonner uuticip'ated trry inquiry, by say ing: "The floor is made up by a series of slats, with spaces between large enough to allow the passage ol Water. Beneath there is a water-tight floor, with a pitch of two inches ou ouo aido for drainage, with the false flooring just that much thicler and highttr on that side."' The i extra flooring is sw constructed ia two i sections that it "?n be raised from the , centre both ways, and placed on edge when removing the accumulation ol objeCtiovable mutter boaeath. At this time my atteiiltOB) WaS Called to the I uecupnuts of strAve of th"e other stalls. ??IIcfc," surd Homier," is Princess, Flora j Temple'* greatest competitor. When 1 bought her, u short thue ago, und placed her under my treatment, she moved hku u foundered horse. This 1 knew was the efieot of contraction and bad shooing. This result of my treatment is proof of tho'correctovt* of my judgment, as you see she now mOYCi as freely and natural ly as any other horse. 8he is a little vicious, and we will take her in hand when convenient if you wish." Princess looked at me with suspicion, but I soon made her ladyship submit to a caress. Of an irritable nature, she deeded care ful handling and a little watching to prevent a snap judgrnedt in the way of a kick. The next horse shown me was i bay, four years old, named Startle, ouo of the finest modeled horses of his age I ever saw, and from present acounts is the coming horse; he has already made the fastest time ou record by a horse of his age. ' Sec what an arm, a Shoulder, a loin," said Mr. Bouticr, calling my attention to the various points constituting a groat trotter; and so thoroughly does he seem to havd studied the po'lrfts necessary for speed and endurance that, I auf convin ced, he could at a glance select a trotter from a large drove. The next burse shown me was the peerless Dexter. 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 hitu with the docility of the most gentle pet, 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. Homier to his private resi de nee. Seated in his library, the topic of his conversation became that of prices paid. I urn able to give the prices paid for the following named horseet Dexter.t.$33.000 Pocahontas. i*5,OG*0 Lantern. K-OOO Ed.

All these excellent quali ties added a quaint effect of contrast to the suddenness of the following answer which the worthy {president once received aud tf?.*iih il ustrates the principle that ?'ridicule is the test of truth." In the railroad cars one day the President descried on-; of hts students, a youth of regrettable habits in poiut of dissipa tion, and wearing at that m itnent the h;:ggafd aird dishevelled loots of one not yet over the effects of a debauch.
