SOUP DUEL.-France and Prussia have
been engaged in pretty heavy duel in Europe,
In which nearly two millions of men were en-
gagged. 1t is natural that the influence of that
grand campaign should touch manly hearts
ON this side Of the Atlantic. An evidence
that these sublime feelings of patriotism exist
was furnished in Washington hotel few
days ago, when an irate Frenchman, affronted
by some derogatory remarks of an inflated
Prussian, smote the subject of King William
upon the head with his soup plate and baptized
his shirt bosom with some excellent pea soun.
The soup being only the first course, we NAV
expect to hear of several others, in the shape
ofshort swords and pistols, to follow in order.
1t is to be recorded, to the credit ofthe French
and German citizens of this country, that
there are 80 few hot-headed individuals to be
found among them as this pair of soup duellists

CHLOROFORM IN HANGING.-A poor wretch
was hung in Missouri the other day after
having endeavored to cheat the hangman by
taking chloroform. He was, however, suffi-
ciently resuscitated to 60 through the ceremo-
mics, and thus was enabled to tell his friends in
the other world "what he knows about hanging. &"
If prisoners sentenced to the death penalty
are allowed to enjoy the benefits of @nesthetics
just prior to their final taking off, as was the
case some time ago in the interior of this State,
would it not be well to amend the law and
allow judges to sentence criminals to die by
the administering of chloroform !? 1t is said
to be much easier death than to die by hang
ing, and the corpse presents far more pleasant
appearance, which is always a consideration
among the friends of the "lamented deceased. +"

will give rise to prolonged debate.
General Fremont has been serious

PHILADELPHIA, May7.-This after.
noon the most destructive hail storm
ever known here passed over this city
from the northwest to ihe southeast.
For nearly thirty minutes there was
q continuous fall of hail stones from
the size of pea to six and seven
inches IN circumference. The dam
age done greatly exceeds that of the
great storm in Septe Der, 1868. The
greatest force of the storm was along
Broad Street and in the southern sec
tion of the city.
On the south side of Chestnut
Street, above Eighth, scarcely pane
of glass is left. On Broad Street many
churches had their stained glass win
dows destroyed. The windows in
the front of the Continental Hotel
were also destroyed. Reports from
the outskirts state there is almost a
total destruction of fruit trees, which
were Just in blossom. AT 8 o'clock
to- night hail still remained 10 piles
In the streets.
The storm did not extend across
the Delaware River to Camden, and
dispatches from the interior say there
was no hail there. Many hotels were
greatly damaged, especially the Bing-
ham House, corner Of Eleventh aud
Market Streets, the windows being
shattered in the whole front.
