the ROYAL Houses as a rule sustained.
Their abstinence was due, no doubt, in
part to The pride of rank, the feeling that
as they could find no equals they could
also recognize no adversaries that insult
to them wa as impossible as insult by an
animal to a man, but it was also due in
part to a much subtler and nobIer senti-
ment. They are all in their own ewes

~dIsaDpr0yed of duelIinc. The most cyni-

Of Prussia, who never gave a commission
to q commouer aud never sympathized

hard to put 1t down, and the legitimate
mOnarchs have always held it a hrst-cIass
offence in any prominent servant OF the
Crown. An Ambassador, for example,
must resign in order to send a challenge;
and among Princes, Napoleon Jerome is,
we believe, in our day the only one who
has sent a challenge, and he did not night.
The feeling seems to be that a subject in
fighting a duel risks in his private quarrel
a life which belongs to his sovereign, and
if we take the Sovereign 10 be the repre-
sentative Of the State, the feeling IS not
only just, but one of the highest political
value. If d%ueIIing is defrnsJbIe, so also
is private war, and the sanctity of the
State as the sole entity for which a man
may iustihabIy surrender his life finally

no title, and property reverts to original
