A ('""turn Unruled Dgirn from the Day of

Avenged no Insult.
A writer la tho Brooklyn Eagle, once
R student in a German university, de
scribes the method in voguo among
Gorman students of settling disputes
by nghting with swords, lie nays:
The method of lighting and using
the sword is peculiar. Tho weapon is
r flat, straight blade, ma le always at
ISolingen, about a meter In length and
having at tho handle a Icil-ahaped
metal protection for tho hand. The
dueling swords -ure sharpened for
about six inches on either side of tho
end of tho blade, which is cut off
square. The swords used in practicing
are merely blunt iron blades of the
same shape. In the fencing-room one
wears a heavy iron mask, a padded
shirt of leather reaching from his neck
down to his knees and on his sword
arm a very heavily padded leather
glove, with gauntlet extending to his
shoulder. In practice, as in the regu
lar duels, the antagonists stand facing
each other and about three feet apart,
the left hand nervously grasping the
trouser strap behind, and the right arm
curved almost directly over the head,
holding tho sword, whose blade, al
most perpendicular to the forearm,
falls down in a slanting line about two
feet before the face. The blows are
struck in a swinging manner from the
wrist and forearm, the point of the
sword doscriliing a circle as the blow is
struck. There are four or five blows
only, which aro used singly and in
combination with e.ich other. The
quart is a blow destined for the left
temple; the wittel quart for the left
ear; the tief quart for the left side of
the chin and the teiz for tho right
temple. The blows are received on
the arm, which, as I have said, is pro
tected by a thickly padded gauntlet,
and on the blade near the hilt.
My friend L , who was in the
university at the same time, was a
tall, raw-boned Kentuckian, a superb
boxer, as active as a cat, and as mus
cular as a trained gymnast. L
was as fine and noble-hearted a fellow
as there was in the world, but he had
one fault, that of rashness, which
often led him into serious scrapes, but
which in the present case was the
cause of a German student duel, which
I witnessed. L and I were one
evening rowing on the Pleisse toward
Connewitz, a small village a few miles
from Leipzig, which, as there is a
pleasant inn and dance hall there, was
the objective point of many boating
parties, when we were rather unpleas
antly and suddenly surprised by re
ceiving considerable dirty water on
our backs and heads, splashed inten
tionally by the oars of some semi-intoxicated
students, and by their in
signia corps students. L with a
fw strokes pulled our boat to the
shore, jumped out, and in broken Ger
man and profane English, invited the
Germans to land also. After a little
consultation our baptizers pulled to
ward the bank aid the largest man in
the boat got out and wa3 promptly
knocked down by the " left" of that
hot-headed young man. As Germans
consider it literally beastly (schwein
ish) to use their fists in combat, tho
student rose in an awkward manner
and demanded L 's card. This
meant a duel, and as L , who had
become a proficient fencer, was desi
rous, for the fun of the thing, of in
dulging in a little conflict with one of
the students, cards were exchanged,
and one of the German's companions
and myself were appointed seconds to
arrange all tho details of the meeting.
The other second and I met on the
following day and decided on a
gasthaus in the village of II and an
early date for the meeting. The duel
was to be fought at 7 o'clock in tho
morning, and as there were no accom
modations in the village, consequently
an early start Avould be necessary.
L and I retired early on tho evening
before the eventful day and enjoyed a
good night's rest, while our antagonists
were indulging in an all-night wassail,
called by them a kneipe. "We rose
early, and after a hearty breakfast
drove with a few American friend.",
who went mostly out of curiosity, and
also, in case of any emergency, to see
fair play to L , and had plenty of
time to enjoy a quiet after-breakfast
umoke before the other principal, with
most of the members of his corps,
which, by the way, was the Thueringen,
arrived. The Germans appeared tired
out after their bout, but went imme
diately to work to prepare their cham
pion for the contest. In the duel, the
padded gauntlet of the fencing-room is
replaced by fold after fold of silk,
which renders the arm a good shield
for certain blows. Along, wide silken
scarf is wound many times around the
neck, to protect the jugular vein, and
tho eyes aro guarded by iron goggles,
which also hold the ears doe to the
head with their straps. The German
wore also his corps cap on his head,
while L was bareheaded Th? duel
was to be fought inad ince hall in the
inn, and after our mei were fully
equipped nnd bandaged we then pro
ceeded. The Genua. is took one side
of the hall, the Americans the other,
and a doctor who ha 1 been brought
by the Germans occupied one
side of the " Mensurboden," with a
table holding a basin of water
and a vinegar-saturate 1 sponge,
Vinegar "oeing used ti stop the
flow of blood from the wounds and
Jhus prolong the amusement. We two
econds were clad in the same manner
as our principal, with the addition of
masks, and according to their custom
Vod each at the left of our respective
principals with drawn swords to ward
off :f ' blows that might bo mortal.
Th; fighting cou not last altogether
ovi r tiiteen vyf'-a, and timo was to
be called ir , y. At la t the an
tagonists fa? I ch other, both un-
pern specimens of manhood. The Ken
tuck'nn, however, had tho advantage
of quickness and elasticity, which the
German lacked, nnd wo all felt confi
dent of L's succc ss. Finally the officer
of the Thueringen corps stepped for
ward and said: " Sind Sie perren
bereit? Kin, zwei, drei Losl" ("Are
you ready, gentlemen? One, two,
three begin.") At t he last word there
canio an almost deafening crash of
steel and theswerls circled like the
spokes of a quickly-revolving wheel.
Krish! Kiash! Tho sparks fly and tho
room is tilled with tho shouts cf the
excited men on brth sides. All of a
sudden a lo?k of hair is seen to fly,
together with the cap from the side of
tho German's heal, while a stream of
blood Wells slowly out and trickles
down his neck. "Halt!" is exclaimed
by the ollicer, and the German lias the
spongo of vinegar applied to the wound
by the doctor, and also takes several
large swallows of brandy. His second
and I hold the sword arms of our prin
cipals in the nir in the meantime, as to
lower the sword arm from the first
position in tho fight is considered a
signal of defeat. Tho officer calls
the men on the floor again,
and as "Los !" is again repeated, 1 saw
L with that strong arm of his brgln
a fearful assault on tho guard of the
German, which I knew in a short timo
must break it down and leave him at
the mercy of L , who was now thor
oughly excited. L at last makes a
false stroke and receives a scratch on
the cheek, but, without minding it, re
double? his assault on the German. At
last L gets in a powerful "tief
quart," and we all see a red mark
about four inches long suddenly ap
pear on the German's check, and then
the blood spurted out in seeming tor
rents and sprinkled tho floor for sev
eral feet. He fell kick into tho arms
of his second in a faint, and was de
livered over t the doctor's care. The
doctor stanched the flow of blood, took
about three stitches in the gash, dec
orated it with plaster, and then
brought hi3 patient out of his faint
and began an allopathic treatment of
brandy. "We, L and I, returned to
Leipzig; I was disgusted with the
first and only duel I have ever seen.
The custom of dueling fifteen or twenty
years ago was much more common
than now, the duels often being fought
in the open air. The university au
thorities (most of them who still carry
scars from duels in their youth), how
ever, disapprove of the custom and
are doing all they can to abolish it.
A Frontiersman in a Hotel.
Captain Jim 1'eako considered N.
L. Jenkins one of his best scouts and
speaks of him in terms of the warmest
praise. AVhen Jenkins joined 1 'cake's
command he had been away from civ
ilization for years, and the captain on
one occasion having to pay a visit to
the capital city of tho Lono Star State
tcok Jenkins along with him. When
they reached Austin Jenkins, who was
in the dress of a frontiersman and
armed to the teeth, attracted a great
deal of attention, and the boys fol
lowed him about in crowds. He
thought this ovation complimentary
to himself and invited tho curious
juveniles to the nearest confectionery,
where he spent all his money treating
them to candy, soda water and ice
cream. When night came the captain
took Jenkins to the Raymond ouss
for supper. The dining-room was
crowded and tin table was resplendent
in its setting of glass and silver.
Jenkins advanced to the table, drew,
his bowie-knife, speared a biscuit and
a piece of steak, and stepping back!
began to eat as he had been accustomed
to eat in camp, standing up, with his
bowie-knife and fingers answering all
purposes. A grinning servant invited
him to be seated.
"No, thankee," was the answer,
"I'm doing tolerable well here."
He was assigned a room at the hotel
furnished in the most luxuriant man
ner, with soft carpets, rich f urnitufe
and a downy bed. When the captain
went in to arouse him next morning,
Jenkins was stretched out on the floor,
wrapped in his blanket.
" Why didn't you sleep in the bed ?"
asked the captain.
" I did try the blamo thing," was
the answer, "but I bogged in it clea
over my head."
The Great Storm.
There is no storm on record that
equaled in violence and destructive
power the one of October 10, 1780,
known as tho "Great Storm." It was
generated in mid-Atlantic, not far
from the Equator, and was first felt in
the ISarbauoes. There the bark of
trees was removed, either through the
effects of the electric action or the
fury of the wind; cannon were driven
along ihe batteries and flung over into
the fosse. A French transport fleet
of forty vessels, carrying 4,000
soldiers, was overtaken by the storm
and completely destroyed at Martin
ique. And the governor at Martinique,
reported tho loss to the French gov
ernment by these three words "The
vessels disappeared." At Martinique
9,000 persons perished ; at St.
I'ierre, one thousand, aud not a house
left standing. Scarcely a vessel was
afloat near St. Domingo, St. Vincent, St.
Eustache and Porto Kieo n October 11.
Seven churches and 1,400 houses were
blown down and sixteen wounded per
sons buried beneath tho ruins cl
tho hospital at Port Koy.il.
Fifty British ships were driven ashore;
two line-of-battle ships went down at
sea, and 22,000 persons perished at the
Bermudas. A twelve-pounder cannon
was driven a di:-tanco of 400 feet, on
tho Leeward Islands part of th wJls
of the central part of the government
building, nearly a yard thick, where
the residents of the government build
ing took li -iter, was broken down and
the roof taken off. Some of the heavy
cannons were driven from their stiind
by the rower of the wind; aid when
the day broke not a leaf, scarce eve
a branch, remained on the trey.

whieh may be of industrial value. If

stead of meerschaum or ivory. It is

Professor lleinsch thus gives the re
sults of his researches regarding the
manner in which coal has been formed.
He had examined with tho microscope
not less than 2,500 sections of coal,
and had come to the conclusion that
coal had not been formed by the altera
tion of accumulated land plants, but
that it consisted of microscopic forms
of a lower order of protoplasm, and
although he had carefully examined
the cells and other remains of plants
of t higher order, he computed that
ti have contributed only a fraction
of the mass of coal veins, however nu
merous they may have been in some
instances.
