.rhe ueidclberr DueIIInE Corps.

: The Crondstadt Observer says; "All
visitors to Heidelberg must feel more or
less interest in the famous duelling corps
existing there. These corps date their
origin almost as far back as the tounda-
tions OF the Universities of the Elector
Rupert l., in the year 1856. They were
at first composed of all the best and
noblest among the students; now, how
ever they no longer hold the rank they
once did, but are looked on, even by
some Of their members, as necessary
evils, on the keeping up of which the
general honor OF Heidelberg in some re-
mote way depends. Many strange Gus
toms are prevalent among their mem
bers, not the least curious Of which IS
the way the funeral rites of any OF their
number at the University are celebrated.
The funeral takes place at night by tne
light of torches. The coffin, on Whlchis
placed the cap and sword Of the de-
ceased, is drawn on low bier. by four
horses. u Immediately after the body
walk the members of the corps to which
the deceased belonged, bearing torches,
and followed by representatives OF each
of the other corps. On reaching the
burial ground, which is situated at q
short distance from the town, 'chorale
Is sung by the whole company, but no
sooner is the coffin lowered into the
grave than the hymn is changed into one
Of the noisy drinking songs in which
these students excel. Without any re-
ligious ceremony the grave is closed and
the cortege marches back TO the town,
where they again halt ON the Universe
ties PIatz' and form into large circle.
Two Of the best swordsmen then go
through the sword exercise, after which,
with q loud shout, all the torches are
thrown high in the air so that they Will
fall together in a burning pile in the
center Of the circle. The ceremony thus
brought to a close, the corps retire to
their respective places Of redezvous, in
one Of the numerous taverns of the town,
and the rest of the night is passed in
carousing and merry-making.' 9sl' ~
