The Code of Honor.

The following are the laws of duening, as laid,
down by a foreign nobleman of distinction, who,
in days when the duelo was considered an hon.
orabe combat participated as principal and seco I'D
in no less than forty duels, several between men
of the highest rank and distinction, and which
were acknowledged as the code Of honor by Lord
Hardinge, in his correspondence after the cele-
brated duel between the Duke of Wellington and
the Earl of Winchelsea in England:
l. The honor of A. man. does not consist in his
fighting or not fighting duels. The men of honor
in Europe have divided opinions on this point,
each party respecting and paying Difference to the
convictions of the others. M
g. A man Of honor never uses what is termed
Billingsgate language.
3. A man of honor never strikes OF deals in
blows. In England and France he is permitted
to touch the party he desires to insult with his
glove or rod. In Russia, Prussia, Austria, and
Poland, even this is forbidden, for fear it might
provoke, under the influence of passion to severer
blows. -.-- .s.,4ses 20
4. A man of honor avoids, emphatically, any
intercourse or contact as communicating, with in
dividuals using brute blows.
8. "A man of honor never, under any circum-
stances, picks q quarrel with individuals whose
well-known conscientious convictions forbid them
to accept challenges
s. 1t is cowardice to challenge such persons. IL
they use disgraosful language without being pre-
pared to bear its responsibility, it sufficiently car
ries its own disgrace.
Z. A man Of honor, under the penalty Of abso-
Lutte forfeiture any claim to be considered such
by his equals, never attacks an unarmed man
Such an attack stamps the assaant as felonious
coward.
8. individuals assisting in any way in such as
sault become equally dishonored as the perpetra-
tor. wSra@ f#A
8. A man of honor, II attacked, uses the right Of
defence in its broadcast sense. et.
10. A man Of honor Is no more dsgraced by an
assault on his person by DULLES or skulking assas-
sins, than by being attacked by robbers and high
waymen. In all these cases he uses the right, COM
mon to all, to disable or destroy his assailant
