THE HEIDELBERG STUDENT AND THE Doo.-A
gossipping correspondent, writing from Heidsl.
berg, tells the following characteristic story Of
German students duel, and what came oft Not
long ago, In duel between a Vandal and West
phalan, the former had the misfortune to lose the
end Of his nose. The elided member few of a
distance OF several feet and falling to the ground
was snapped up and swallowed by little dog
that happened to be running about. Enraged
beyond measure at the base use to which bis nose
had come, the Vandal clapping his hand to the
bleeding stump, made rush and stroke at the
poor beast. Doggy fed, yelping, through the
door, and up the lane, followed by the frantic
duellist, while the other students, nearly dying
with laughter, tried In vain to cheer short way
up the lane doggys progress was stopped by a
stone wall, which he could not overlap. The
pursuer was close upon him. The case was des-
perate Doggy, seeing no other way, turned, and
utterng Departing yelp, fd past his prosecutor.
Blind with passion, the student made a cut at
him, and sliced of his tail 20 neatly that there
want remnant Left Here the others interfefed
and applying the law Of Moses for such cases de-
clared the ''loss of the balanced by the loss
OF the tail" "But the dog has stcalEoiDed my

THE PUTNAM PHALAsx AT BALTIMo1R-The
Baltimore American says, In reply to a statement
of Washington correspondent denying that Mr..
Stuart, in his speech at Baltimore, alluded In the
remotest degree 10 any design to "put down seces-
sion at the point Of the bayonet," that 'there Is
something Of truth as well as error In the above
The truth Is that the people Of Baltimore were
well disposed to receive the members Of the Phs-
lanx with all the courtesies extended to military
visitors, that they were greatly admired and that,
except bya few hot-heads who In no way represent
the feelings of the people Of Baltimore, there was
no desire or intent to exhibit any marks Of disre-
spect towards them. The error is In attempting
to deny the indiscreet rema K made by Mr. Stuart
exactly as they were reported In the American
The better excuse given was that by Mr.. Stuart
himself, that tho remark escaped him In the ardor
Of an impromptu speech, and that it was not in
tended as threat, but only az expressing bis
ardent Union feelings"

their homes and spend money for travelling ex-
penses, tavern bills, &c, &c, for the purp pose Of
