M AMERICA/It THANKSGIVING norsnit X PARIS 13Ir
AN 'OWLISH LADY.
What an anomaly is the title of this letter! But
what a delightful dinner bad we! At home---how
we appreciate the word when an ocean separates
us from home---Thankogiving Day is the occasion
for all members of nunlike, chu.tches, cities, and
even states to unite in expressing their 'thanks to
God for the mercies, benefits and continuance of
His good•pleasnre toward them. as nations, famL
lies and individuals. The Swedenborgian& have
a custom of representing an absent member of
the home circle by a vacant chair decked with'
flowers. In sentiment it is very beautiful; but I l i
it appropriate or even right to indulge a selfish
disposition, to morbidly grieve over hopeltes sor
row, on thevety, day apppinted fora cheerfnlac
knowledgment of God's loving kindness?
The Thanksgiving dinner was a decided sue.
eels. Miss Miss, our heaters, a thorough-bred
English lady, determined that her American
guests should feel or tome on their national fete
day, and thirteen of us, who can testify to the
comfort and elegance of her house, accepted her
invitation to remain at home, although we an
had invitations to dine out. Dr. Gould, the
American physician in Rome, was an additions
guest. Those of oar American readers who have
attended Mrs.Goeld'e receptions in Rome, and her
Sunday evening gatherings,when national hymns
are sung, though any form of worship is forbid
den to Protestants inside the walls, will appre
ciate the pleasure we experienced in seeing the
Doctor's (Arterial face at our fete dinner. De
,
terming to enjoy the entire day in
American style, a portion of us attended
Dr. Robinson's church, in the Rue de Berri,
where a form of worship adapted to the services
of !lye different churches—the Presbyterian,
Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopal and Congregational
—makes the simple title, "American Chapel," pe
enlicirly appropriate. After the service we ad
journed to an American restaurant. But alio/
not foreseeing the raid that others made before
us from hotels, apartments and boarding-houses,
imagine our consternation when the boy pro-
vented himself and replied to our request to
,see
the "carte"—"Oh oni, I speakee de Ingllah ver
well, muis eons ta'avoal pas ni pumpkin pie, minc-e
pie, ni stewed chicken, ni buckwheat cakes, ni
fish balls!"
Entering the dining-room at six o'clock our
ruelni countenances lost all traces of their dleap
pointment, for our smiling hostess and her pretty
niece greeted ns hi their grand toilettes, "to
honor oar fete."
The table was elegantly arranged. On either
end bronze statuettes bore a set of American flags,
beautifully draped. In the centre a pheasant,
with outspread pinions and head poised for flight,
threatened to carry away the deliciou jellies
borne on his back, which were intended as an ac
companiment to the boned pheasant concealed
under his plumage. :Candied knits, formed into
large baskets filled with finest confitnre
graced either aide of the statuettes. Large bunches
of luscious Italian grapes, pyramids of oranges,
apples, pears, forms of ices and jellies, flowers of
the sweetest perfume and loveliest hue made one
scene of a grand feast. After the tomatoes,
cern, roast turkey, cold boiled ham, mince
pie, and other American dishes hind
been fairly discussed, the sherry was
passed around and the toast proposed by a gen
tleman in the name of our hostess, "Our absent
friends!" We drank It in silence. Later, a gen
tleman from Chicago rose, and in a neat little
speech„ graciously . alluding to the presence of
represeiilatives from All parte of our Union, from
Philadelphia to New Orleans and from Boston to
Chicago, ae well as the cheerful group of English
guests who were delighted with. the American
dinner, he briefly stated our peculiar Views of the
celebration at home, and illustrated it by an
amusing anecdote of a boy whose parents had
taken great pains to instruct him as to the fall
meaning of the day. But the next morning, on
awaking,when his little brother asked what does
Thanksgiving mean, he exclaimed, "Roast tur
key, cranberry sauce, mince-ple, and everything
that's good!" The gentleman happily
made the application to our hostess's
bounty in providing so liberally and
handsomely for our enjoyment, and hoped
that "every daughter of John Bull, eo genuinely
and so honestly the friend of America, might ex
perience similar evidence of our kindly feeling
when sojourning as strangers in our own land !"
The champagne parsed around, all responding
"heartily to the toast proposed in compliment to
our hostess. "Our Friends at Home," concluded
, the toaste n and one of us was so choked with tears
she could only smile, when a • companion whis
pered, "You have hoard of songs without words,
but just think of sympathy without w F. o rds). ."

known as "The Oaks."..:was dhe scene yesterday morn.
lug of a sangaiMary duel 'between two yore:amen - of this
city, which has rarely had its parallel in Ine annals of
the code either in this caantry or 'ha Europe., The an
tagonist' were the one a native Creole of New Orleans,
the ether a Frenchman by birth; the provocation a blow
in the face at the hand of the ,S.trole; the
weapons were broadswords; the hour daybreak. Ar
rived on the field, accompaniedity their eeconds, the com
batants stripped to the waist, and sword in band, is tho
freezing air of the morning, sprang at each other like
tigers. 'There was no hesitation or playing to try each
other's skill. A tow lunges and cuts were eucoessfuily
partied, when suddenly an nit cat from the Frenchman',
sword wounded has opponent in the right arm. The rt..
prate from the Creole laid open the Frenchman's left
check, laying the inside open, and exposing his teeth._
Nothing daunted the wounded man stepped back, had
a handkerchief bound round his face, andcagain pat hira
sett in attitude of - offenee. His first lunge penetrated the
breast of hie antagonist, between . . .
but it was made with such relentleas force that it passe
also through the oil arm, An attempt was made at twin
moment by the seconds to atop the matter at that point,
but the man with the handerchief around his jaws
rushed at the second who was most anions
to settle the matter, swot d in hand s asseverating
that naught should quiet his animosity ex
cept a cut across his throat. The batUe was
renewed, and lasted until the Creole had received eight
wounds and the other eiz, all severe and painful, but
none, it hoped, dangerous. Both men displayed extraor
dinary courage, animosity and endurance, and daring the
course of the bloody encounter neither was willing to
give up the contest ntil both had to let their hands fall
helpless to then sides from Loss of blood and the pain of
their wounds. The parties were carried home after hav
ing their wounds dressed, and though the Creole had
two more wounds. his situation war more comforts ble
