truth is, that it is barbarous practice, but

the limit is usually the endurance OF the

two skilled and closely matched opponents
may fight until their strength Is exhausted

GERMAN STUDENTS.

The German authorities have inaugural
ed crusade against traditional custom
that will be more severely contested than
the closing Of the gaming houses at the
spas. 1t is now proposed to abolish the
common university practice of duelling,
and test case has been brought to Munich.
A student named Koysenberg was indicted
on the charge of using deadly weapon,
but the judge held that the schlaeger, the
regular German student duellng sword,
did not come under the definition of n
deadly weapon because of the manner in
which it is ordinarily used. 1t is a long
sword, with one sharp edge, used for cut
ting or slasling, while the vital parts of the
head and neck are protected by guards.
The public prosecutor carried the case to
the court of appeals, where tho decision
was reversed on account of Its having been
proved tina, many of these duelling cases
had terminated fatally. Koysenberg was
therefore condemned to three months i'm
prisonment 1t is probable that this con
viction will lead to other and similar trlal
in the various university towns of Ger
many.
There is one serious difficulty which tn,
authorities will encounter. In most uni
versity cities, the students are free iron
the ordinary supervision and discipline o
the municipal government. The unlversii.
authorities have the control Of those VIII
arc matriculated, and arrests can only b
made under their authorization. The be
dell, sort OF walchman, has stated hour
for making his rounds, which are we
known, and of course, he rarely finds any
thing out of the way, and never com,
across a case of duelllng. The truth i
that the university authorities have winke
at the practice OF duellng from time IN

PNEUv aTnC PO:sTATsON.

Many our readers Will remember that
. scheme was year az last Winter laid
before congress for rrlucing the cost of
the transportation OF freight to anil from
distant points by -" aid Of n pneumatic
railway. and that, III accordance with the
recommendation of the committee on ap-
preparations, Il bill approprating $4,000
was passed. for the purpose of testing the
principles rs set ith by the inventor.
The plan is one which has been .i,-cussed
for years, but we believe il has ever been
practically in this country. In Europe,
the principle has been applied to short dis.
tances with satisfactory results and there
certainly seems 10 be fair chance for the
success Of the present scheme, in which
event the greatest revolution will be
WORKED in the method of overland trans
por,ation tho world has ever yet seen.
The plan of the inventor-if the scheme
may properly be called an inventlon--is
the construction of air-tight circular tubes
of from five to fifteen feet in diameter, ac.
cording to the necessities of the case.
these to be extended from point to point
over the country, wherever demanded by
the necessities of trade. The vehicle for
transporting freights is a hollow ball, OF
sphere. to roll within the tube, of diane

in which it is TO work, SO that it can Toll

carry, it is said, about two carloads of
grain. The ball, when loaded is placed in
tas mouth of the tube, this being left open
and the remote end closed and the air then
ball, until sufficient strength of current is
obtained to roll it to its destination. The
inventor claims that, by this System, all
freight that will permit of being carried in
this way can be moved at one-fourth the
cost or transportation by railroads, and al
speed of one hundred miles an hoIr.
Air, it is stated, enters vacuum at We
locity of eight hundred miles an hour, and
it would therefore seem not an improbable
matter that current of one hundred miles
per hour could be obtained. There would,
according to the plan, be very little fric
ton, as the ball rolls on rail at the bot
tom of the tube, grooved TO it, and made
perfectly smooth. The cost of building
and equipping line of tho railway il
claimed to lie less than one-half that o.
building and equipping railroad. In tb'
matter of grades there would seem to b.
little difficulty, as experiments made show
that the ball can be made to pass up {
steep grade with almost the same facility
as on a level. This system of transporta
ton, il it should prove successful, will b,
limited to a certain kind of freight, but
happily, this is just the kind that it is i'm
portant should be carried at the loves
figures, such as grain, cereals, flour, meat
raw manufactures, coal, ores and oils Be
side, it might be found valuable convey
ance for the nails ensuring speedy an
safe delivery.

NORTHERN SENTIMENT.-United States
Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, who
has been so strongly opposed to the pres
cnt government of this State and who
was the author of the bill for Il new cleo
ton here, runs a paper at Milwaukee i'll
his State. In it is an article reviewing
the Baton Rouge platform. 1t expresses
"nO especial sympathy for either of the
prominent parties in Louisiana, and is
inclined to think one is about as deep in
the mud as the other is in the nrire, and
d but call attention to the platform
adopted the other day by those who chal-
itably call themselves conservatives
1t says this platform is so framed that
it appeals to the basest instincts of mans
nature" "Such a platform is built en-
tirely upon prejudice and dishonesty"
1t concludes as follows:
We are sadly forced to the conclusion
that the white race is arraying itself
against the black race in several of the
Southern States, and that the division
is likely to extend itself to the rest.
What the result OF such q division may
be in many localities we forbear to
prOphesy.. We have had enough straws
surely tOsl0w which waythe wind blows.
We know that wrong begets resistance,
that oppression aWakes rebellion, and
that Ku-Kluxism invites humiliation.
Therefore, taking all the fOrebOding
consequences into consideration we de-
plOre the fact that there exists u poll
teal party in this country which can he
diSloyal enough to defy the constitution
nj amendments and support such a docu-
ment as the Louisiana platform. And
yet we are glad that it comes so boldly
forth. The people can understand what
it means There is no ambiguity in its
language. 1t is treason pure and SIM
pie, after the old order of things. 1t is
Democratic doctrine and can be COM
pretended. Therefore it can be COM
bated.. II this is to be q sample Of the
platforms that are to come from DEM
Ocratic conventions i'll other of the
Southern States, the Northern people
need no longer complain over the alb
sence of an. issue. ....
We call particular attention to the con-
Guiding sentence. When such a man as
Senator Carpenter considers such a plat
form as a sufficient issue between the
North and South, it is a pretty strong
premonition of the way Northern cleo
tions will go; and with a Republican
majority in Congress, what chance would
candidates for Congress, on this plat
FORM have of admission to that body ?
We had this experience in 1868, and the
platform was not published then. In
Northern Judgment the candidates for
Congress are condemned in advance by
the platform on which they stand.
