A Students’ Duel. . Hethellmrg Letter to Richmond Dispatch.) • Hearing that there was to be a stu- lents’ duef, we planned to gratify ouf -utfusity in seeing what has been so much written about. Taking a car nage, we rode across the river, up the side of a mountain and down a narrow gorge to a public house. We went in • nd ordered some refreshments and -hatted for half an hour, wheu a white capped student i>asscd. I ac costed him and earnestly made known >ur wants in tlie language of Goethe and Schiller. He gave me a long and aruest answer, not u word of which e *u’d lyumlerstan’d. At hist a waiter• who spoke English came, and we s uiglit Imt kind offices. She agreed to take us in ten minutes to a room •where we could see the combat tiirough a window. We waited an io.;r, and, as our iptience was about exhausted, she returned. Through the • indow we could see two men con- rontingeacli other, with their hands extended straight over their heads. Their left'arms were tied behind their acks and goggles over their eyes. The men were padded every wliere ex cept their heads, which were left uu- •overed. At the appointed signal they began cutting at each other witii lightning-like rapidity. Neilher- eemeo to try to ward off the blow of iis » pponeat. As soon as one was cut (lie .-ecends ran between them and, knocked up the swords. Th* doctor- examined tlie wounds, staunched t!?" blood, aiid the fight was resumed, aud went on until the doctor decided that further fighting would endanger life, it was tlie most beastly tomfoolery I ever saw. The hurt inflicted was n* t enough to satisfy a man seeking re- Iress for a real or fancied insult, but was too s ?vere for play. I could ^ee i*> display of skill nor any particular nauifestation of courage. Where They Get Their Grog. (New York Morning Journal.) “But let me tell you a curious fact, *f which you are probably not aware, t could name a dozen or so thoroughly respectable dress-maker’s estublisli- m.’ii.s in New York where tlie whole •f the l.usineSs is not dress-making. Gome of the profits of these places come front tlie sale of beyerages. The Jove of conviviality is not confined to nen alone. Men have their saloons where they can go ev*Vy time they feel incline*! to do so. But a lady who want.* a glass of champagne pr a bran-. * ly julep, what is she to do ? She can not take it ip her own house because the servants would talk, or the chil dren 4>eing around, would see the hud xample, and no lady can, of course, .o to any barroom or restaurant to Iriuk. Her refuge is the convenient dress-maker’s. “ The bills sent in by the modiste, therefore as you can readily ate, are aot always as exorbitant as they seem. Tlie lit s tand exclaims at the outra geous charge of $400 fora dress that he •an see nothing extraordinary about. But the wife knows, though she ean- noi admit it, tliat 200 on that bill rep resent champagne and so on. The drinks are oeeasionly given gratis, but you may be sure that they appear iu some form in the bill. A lawyer who has had several cases which he has Compromised very clev erly for one of these big dress makers was asked about this, and he said: “01 course you won’t qnote me, but there is a great deal of .truth in what you say. I know that my client, in detail ing her business, had told me tliat she could not get on at all if she did not satisfy tiie demands of her customers iu tills way. They wMild leave her und go to the dry-goods houses, where they would have to pay less for their w’ork. These feminine barrooms have 'oecomes a necessity of the drosa-ma- king trade.
