connected with the war; upon their return to
Paris called upon the Minister of War, M. Bar
rion, for permission to inspect the improvements

promised previously, was bluntly refused, upon
the ground that the relations between the two
countries were not such as to warrant 1t. ANA

no cause of interruption, he persisted and CURLY

grew out of speech delivered by him at

the second fire put his ball through the Doctors
hat. Nothing daunted, the latter coolly remark
ed that his hat was a new one-and desired that
it should not be aimed at. The seconds here
interposed. and used their best endeavors to re-
concile the difficulty, bat without success. The
combatants then resumed, when the illfated
Doctor was killed at the first fire.
