In France it bas until lately been the rule that a gentleman to whom in insulting epithet was applied by mother, who might be reasonably jupposed to be a gentleman, must challenge the insulter to fight a duel. Matters have now so far changed in ttiat country that when the President Df the Chamber was lately called a liar and an "infamous wretch" In open session of the Chamber, he con tented himself with an official re buke, and did not afterward chal lenge the offender. In the lastgeneration no gentleman regarded himself as free to decline an Invitation to fight a duel. A singular incident shows at once how cheap men held their lives and how possi ble it is for one man to rebuke an ather In some mure effective way than by shooting at him. M. de Girardin, the father of the statesman and author, Emile de Gi rardin, on one occasion entered a place where several men were tiring at a target. A gentleman present, whom M. de Girardin did not know, hit the bull's-eye at every shot. j Several by-standers expressed them selves in very great admiration of the i jentleman's precision. "Yes," said Ie Girardin, "be shoots remarkably well, but it is quite different thing to hit a man in a luel from bitting a bit of pasteboard. The most skillful marksman, who could hit a coin at twenty-five paces, might easily miss a man at tire same distance." The marksman overheard the re mark, ami w as offended. "I think vou are mistaken, sir," he said to Ie Girardin. "I assure you that if 1 had you before me I shouldn't miss you." "You can have me when you like," said lie Girardin. "Let it be immediately, then," sail the other. "'At once:" An attempt was made to patch the natter up, but neither man would agree to :in amicable settlement. The seconds were chosen, and the uiec went to a locality favorable for ? luel. It was decided that the men should tire separately, and it was left to a Jeeisiou by lot w hich should tire tlrst. The lot fell to the mysterious mark uiati. He tired at M. de Girardin, mill missed him lie 1 1 imril in KtiMitl still, making no sigu as if to tire at ns aiitaguoist. "Come, why don't you shoot'''' isked his seconds. "Why should I shoot?" asked Ie Girardin. "There is no reason why I should kill this gentleman. 1 main tained that even a crack shot could easily miss his man at twenty-tlvt paces. The gentleman maintained the contrary, lie must now lie con vinced that he is wrong. I owe him 10 ill-will for having discovered that.'' A better method of meeting a duel ling challenge was, no doubt, one which was employed on a certain oc casion by a French statesman, now living, as against M. Victor Noir, aa illiterate bully of the press in the time of the Second Empire. The statesman received from Noir, for no real reason w hatever, a chal lenge to tight a duel. Noir was a densely iguorant man, and nearly every word in the challenge was mis spelled. The statesman responded with tb following letter: "Dear Sir: "You have called me out without any good reason. "I have, therefore, the choice ol weapons. "I choose the spelling-book. "And you are a dead man." The duel was never fought. A t'arntles Nnt f- ull. The passengers on the 7:20 western oouiid passenger train of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, recently, had theii hearts moved by a most touching sight. Huddled together iu two ol the train seats, facing one another, were eight little children, the eldest not yet in her teens and the youngest a tiny babe, which had just opened its eyes to the light on Christmas day. These poor little ones were al) brothers and sisters, but fatherless and motherless, left adrift thus early in their lives w ithout a single rela tive, save one in far-off India, whithei they were bound. The birth of the little babe Christ mas morn had proven the death of its mother. The anguish-stricken father, a poor mechanic named Robert Gra ham, turned from the sad bedside a heartbroken man. His sense of the overwhelming responsibility thus im posed upon him combined with his great grief to prostrate him, and from the severe fever which ensued he never recovered. New Year's day his silent remains were borne to the graveyard and laid to rest besidf those of his w ife. But for the charity of a kind hearted neighbor the eight little or phans must have fared very ill in their lonely state. The neighboi learned of the whereatouts of the relative in India, corresponded with him, and left with the little ones. Philadelphia Record.

AFRICAN CURRENCY. almost Everything Used for Money la the Dark Continent. One of the greatest difficulties that the British and German colonization societies, as well as all travelers In Africa, have to coutend with, says the Chicago Herald, is to be always provided with money for the trans action of business with the natives. The difficulty more especially referred to means the right kind of money. There is not oneobjecton earth w hich would pass as a medium of exchange throughout the length and bredth of Africa: and, as in matters of money, the black skinned sons of Africa are Just as particular as people of other climes, one of the tlrst things neces sary to make Africa a good Held for civilization, and for mercantile en terprise, is to creaee and enforce a common monetary standard. Of all coined money the Maria Theresa dol lar has by far the largest circulation in Africa. Its territory extends from Fez in Morocco dowu that "London of the Soudan," the great trade em porium, Kano, and thus comprises more than one-third of the whole of Africa, about 4,000,000 square miles, with a poiulation of 70,000,000. Hut even iu this coin there are differences. In Kassala, fur instance, no Maria Theresa dollar is taken at its full value unless it bears the date 170, the bust portrait of the empress, the crown adorned with seven well-de-llned apples, the decorations on her breast, and the letters S. t near the rim. Of other metals which are used in coinage in civilized lands copper is used to quite an extent iu Africa; the cannibalistic Nkini-Niaui especially, like the Knglish bar copper of one Inch diameter. Expeditions to the territory of the Niam-Niain, there fore, have generally been forced to in clude several coppersmiths, and these men, as soon as the Xiam-Niam land was reached,? industriously applied themselves to transforming the bars of copper into rings of sizes varying from that of a bracelet to that of a tiny flnger-ring. And so great is the love of the Niam-Niam for these baubles that even one f the small copper flnger-r'ngs (value loss than a cent) would purchase a fat chicken of them. Iron, too. is made use of in this way among the Afri cans. As it goes into trade in stick form, there were up to recently such expressions as '-stick of rum" mean ing the equivalent of a stick of iron in rum generally about a gallon; "a stick of tobacco," equivalent to twenty rolls of the weed, quite com mon in central parts of Africa. At the mouth of the Niger, for instance, in liomey, the iron is wrought int horseshoe-like form and then called igbl or manilla. Another form is given to this iron money in the ter ritory watered by the tributaries of the White Xile. The Bongo people have an iron currency having the shape of a spade, with a handle and an anchor-like end to it. This they call loggo colluti. The largest iron coins circulating here are of the size and shape of a large plate, being one foot in diameter. These treasures are piled up in the ware rooms of native merchants just as silver or gold bars in other lands. For ten iron plates of two pounds weight each the love-lorn Bongo swain buys his inamorata of her papa. When he can't get ten of such iron piates he has to bcsatisSed with an elderly beauty. Besides metals, salt is a medium of exchange in Africa. This is especially the case In Abyssinia and in certain districts in Northern Africa. The blocks of salt called amote come from the East of the Abyssinian Alps. They have the shape of a grindstone, with one end pointed, and weigh originally about one and a quarter pounds. A camel may carry 500, a mule 250, a donkey 200, and a slave sixty of these chunks. For a Maria Theresa dollar the Afar gives 100 of these pieces of salt, the people of Adoas only forty, those of Gaudar but thirty. To prevent the amole from losing its weight by fre quent handling it is put on the mar ket in a wrapper of treebark. The Kissama people, of the Koanza in Angola, make use of their salt in a similar way, weaving rattan around it. There is also a kind of paper money in circulation in Africa. On the other hand, in Dikoa, in Ademouah, in Loggone, and else where, small cotton strips as the reg ular currency. In Bagirari these strips are so small that from seventy to 150 of them would have to be placed together to make a shirt. In barfoor the gray, coarse shirting cir culates as money, and in Tiout. in upper Egypt, this material is dyed dark or blue and then cut intn pieces of throe yards in length. Glass lieads are also much in votrue as money, but in them taste differs, and changes so continually among the different trilies that their value as a standard medi cine is materially decreased. An extensive field is covered by the kaori currency, those tiny shells of porcelain appearance and of lively hue which are found in enormous quantities iu the Maldivian group ot islands. A ton of these kaoris costs in Ceylon from $350 to $375. These little shells have been in African trade for many centuries. ferils of Bui beriug.
