Their Caps and " Back-Hair "-Won? derful Drinking Feats-How Duels are Fought-An American Carries oir the Honors in Both Drinking and Fighting. . HEIDELBERG, UK KM ANT, Hay 20. Last Friday I went to see one of the lamons Heidelberg duels, which ar? fought here so frequently by the students. It is not always easy to obtain access to one ol these duels, and, unless you are acquainted* with one of the "Corps Students," lt ls an impossibility. I ! was fortunate enough-when I first came here to est acquainted with one of the "Tetlow Cape," and so saw a sight which many leave Heidelberg without seeing. I will first tell you about the "Corps Students" themselves, ahd then about the duel which I witnessed. THE "CORPS BTUDENTS" are BO called because they belong to "Corps" i or "Clubs," and are quite different from the other students, inasmuch as they never think . of studying or going to lecture, and divide their time principally between drinking, duelling and loafing; while the other students do really study. In Heidelberg there are seven "Corps," called respectively the "White," "Green," "Tellow," "Blue," "Light Red," "Dark Red" and "Crimson Caps." All the "Corps" have different names, of course: but they are called here after the color of their caps; for Instance, those students wearing the white caps are called the "White Caps;" those wear? ing the "Oreen Caps," ?c. The best ot these "Corps," and the one in which the mem? bers conduct themselves the most like gen? tlemen, ls the "Corps" called the "White Caps," which is composed entirely of the sons of noblemen. All the members ol these "Corps" have two caps. One ls called a "street cap," which 1B a common cap, made out of cloth of the adopted color of the respec? tive "corps," and the other is a little cap, about the size of a saucer, also made of cloth of the adopted color of the "corps," and cover? ed with either gold or silver embroidery, which makes them very expensive; some ol them, are worth as much as sixty or seventy guldens. These little caps are called "Enle pen caps," which means a cap which is worn when they get together of an evening to drink. They are held on the head by means of a rubber which passes around the back of the head, just as alady passes a rubber around the back of her head; the only difference being that a lady bas a chignon, and the students haveuione. They pay quite as much atten tloot-however, to the fixing of their "back hair" as the ladles do. THEIR DRINKING. They drink upon an average about twenty five glasses of beer a day, and most ot them have arrived at such a point o? perfection In ? the noble art of drinking that they can drink between sixty and seventy glasses of beer of an evening, and not feel much the worse for iL They do this about five evenings a ?week. The habit of regularly drinking so much beer would of course not agree with Americans, In lact, two Americans have died here on ac? count Of drinking such a quantity of beer,, but it doesn't seem to injure the Germans at ail, for the ability to drink so much beer seems to be ~ long exclusively to them, and is apparently handed down from father to son. As an ex? ample of their drinking powers, I will cite the following two examples: A few evenings ago one of the "Corps" were drinking at their club house, and one of the members came in as the clock was about to strike twelve, and bet that he could take twelve glasses o? beer during the twelve strokes o? the ?lock. Accordingly the beer was laid before him, and, much to the astonishment of even the students themselves, he did it. The same evening one of the stu? dents drank one hundred glasses of beer on a bet, and was hardly affected at all by lt. These are really wonderful things to do, when you consider that one of these glasses contains almost two pints of beer. Of course, this con? tinued drinking makes the students very large; but the hugest Corps student that ever appeared In Heidelburg WAS AN AMERICAN, who came here an average sized man, and went away something wonderful to behold, and having the honor of being the best drinker, and also the best duellist in Heldel bergk So yon see America bears the palm I here as everywhere else. He fought some? thing like a hundred duels, and never got de? feated till nearly the last one he fought, when he got his nose almost cut off: but, nothing daunted, he stepped up to his adversary, hold? ing his nose on with his hands, and challeng edihlm to another duel, which was accepted. They fought, and the indomitable American, the nero of a hundred duels, came out ahead, j f o the great gratification of all his admiring friends. He is considered to have been the j greatest mao In Heidelberg, (which he cer- [ f tainly Was as regards size) and his name will probably be handed down from generation lo generation, and looked up to as something almost Immortal by the students. The house which they nse for THEIR DUELS ls situated a shirt distance oat of town, and, when a duel ls going on, sentinels are placed communicating from the house to the town; bnt this ls entirely unnecessary; for although the duels are against the law, yet they are winked at by the authorities; in lact, the in? habitants are rather proud o? them than other? wise, and wonld be very sorry if they were pura stop to. The student who took me to see the duels and myself started at about half-past ten ia the morning, and walked for about fifteen minutes. We arrived at the house, and, after introducing me to all his corps, we sat down by a table and talked and drank beer and waited for the doel to commence. The duels are arranged so that lhere are duels on three days o? the week whether a provocation ls given or not. The way of it ?B this: The director of the duels takes the names of the members of the corps in regular order, and pairs them off, and they are f compelled to fight, although they may be the very best friends in the world, or per? haps/even relations. So, you see that, when a fellow goes into one of these corps he Is compelled to fight, although he may be a very peacable fellow; for, as I said before, they don't walt for a provocation, but fight any? way. The swords that they fight with are made of a long and very thin piece of steel, which bends very easily, and is as sharp as a razor, so that the least touch leaves a'* m ark. The students here are cut horribly, and some of them are really disgusting to look at. their laces are so frightfully scarred. The head ls the part of the body aimed at, and is, in fact, the only part that can be hit; for the upper part of the body is padded BO thickly that the -?word cannot cut through the padding. When fighting the sword itt held over the head in such a position that instead o? sticking, lt slashes; and the eyes being protected by large iron spectacles, it is very .seldom, if ever, that a real Injury occurs further than cu tu ag up meir faces, and that doesn't last long, for the wound soon heals up and leaves a scar, which the students are very proud of; In fact, they don't think very much ot a fellow unless he has at least one scar. Last Friday I saw four duels. Each pair fought for a quarter of an hour, unless the doc? tor declared one ot them was too badly hnrt to fight it out for that length of time, when, of course, the opposite party was declared vic? tor. When a student got cut, the students ail walked up and examined lt In the most uncon? cerned manner possible. The director wrote down In his book how long a cut lt was, and also how deep it was*(the longer and deeper lt was, the more the sufferer was thought of;) and the doctor washed lt out and sewed lt up, and the duel continued, unless the student that was cut was unable to do so, when he was declared to be the loser; and the next duel went on In the same manner. All this remind? ed tte very much o? a barber-shop, with the barber calling out "Next," when his chair la empty. Special Notices.
