some insult that can only be wiped out
in blood; happily, the quantity of blood
necessary for this erasing process is Of
little consequence. The annals Of the
last halt century TEEN with journalistic
dnels in the Bois and at Vincennes, at
Montreuii and Meudon; seldom, how
ever, is the record stained with deadly
result. The fate of the fiery and bril-
liant young Armand Carroll, who was
killed some thirty years since in duel
with Emile de Girardin, I in the opening
of career which promised splendid re-
suits, is fortunately rare. More often
the enraged combatants meet, with all
the punctilio and etiquette of the most

A Communist.

The Able Perrin, who has just been
sentenced to two years imprisonment
by court-martial for having joined the
Commune, seems to have led curious
life. He was born in Paris in 1874, was
ordained at the age of twenty-five, and
went to the African coast, where he
narrowly escaped being served up at the
King of Dahomey's table. This decided
him to return to Paris, where he made
the acquaintance Of most of the revo-
lutionary leaders, and ended by writing
in the Pere Duchene, and other violent
prints. During the Commune he be-
haved with great violence, and got sew
eral of the priests arrested, besides
fighting against the troops. he defend
ed himself, and but for some doubt as to
his sanity, he would have been visited
with a severer sentence than that to
which he was condemned. 'a

The plscoyery OF erea. snIl Lake.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: A
party of beaver trappers who had as.
cended the Missouri with Henry and
Ashley found themselves in pursuit of
their occupation on Bear river, in
Cache (Or Willow Valley, where they
wintered in the winter OF lS24-25, and in
discussing the course which Bear river
ran, a bet was made between two of the
party, and James Bridger (who is still
alive) was selected to follow tho course
Of the river aud determine the bet.
This took him to where the river passes
through the mountains, and he discov-
cred the Great Salt Lake. He went to
its margin and tasted the water, and on
his return reported the discovery. The
fact of the water being salt, induced the
belief that it was an arm of the Pacific
Ocean. In the spring of 1926 four men
went in skin boats around it to discover
if any streams containing beaver were
to be found emptying into it, but re-
turned with Indifferent success.
