Wild OATS.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1875.
Champion american, Comic Paper

Illustrated by corps ofthe best Ameri-
can artists, and contributed to by the
most popular humorists aud satirists Of
the day.
Wild Oats now enters successfully up
on the sixth year of its existence, and
has become the established humorous and
satirical paper of the country. 1t was
started and continued the first year as a
monthly. then, to satisfy the demand Of
the public, it was changed to a fortnight.
~. Still continuing its good work of
hitting folly as it flies, and showing up
the political and social. shams by its
mastery cartoons and pungent editorials,
it achieved even greater success than
before, and was recognized as tho ablest
and brightest of it's class. Since then we
have yielded still further to the public
demand, and now publish Wild Oats
weekly! 1t has literally grown into its
present shape on its intrinsic merits, be-
ing the first successful weekly humorous
paper ever published in this country.
Among the artists especially engaged
to furnish illustrations for Wild Oats are
Frank Bellew, Thomas Worth, Hopkins,
Wales, Shelton, Wolf, Jump, Keettels,
Stuckhardt, Day, Poland, aud several
others who are yet known to fame.
In its literary departments Wild Oats
will, as it always has, stand alone and
unapproachable. At least one tilst-class
serial story will always be found in its
pages, by the best humorous, satirical,
and character writer's in tho United
States; while its sketches and squibs
will DO sparkling, original and pointed.
Wild Oats will be first-class in every
particular, and OH this account may be
taken into the best families without fear
or suspicion, as no word or illustration
will appear that can offend the most fas-
tidious.

A Cure for Duelists.

There was French regiment in which
dueling was all the rage. The officers
were always fighting each other, or get
ting up little affairs with the officers of
other regiments. At last the war Office,
wearied out of patience, changed the
commanding officer. A colonel was
sent down who would be sure to stamp
out such nonsense. Two days after his
arrival, two of the officers came to ask
his permission to go out and fight. To
the amazement of everybody he gave
his consent; the officers went forth to
fight, they slightly wounded each other,
and "honor was satisfied" as the phrase
goes upon these occasions. They were
no sooner recovered than they received
an order to wait upon the colonel.
"You have to go out and fight again
tomorrow" he said; as they looked at
him with questioning astonishment, he
explained: " when officers fight in the
regiment 1 have the honor to command,
they kill. Col"
The officers went out again, and this
time made good holes in each other,
which took six months to heal. The
story is very horrible. They were sent
out again and again, and at last they
killed each other, but henceforth and
forever i'll that regiment, and a good
many besides, there was an end of
dueling. The fate of the young men
who were thus sacrificed to bring about
such result was sad, but they brought
it on themselves, inasmuch as being
fully aware that the colonel was sent tc
repress dueling, they chose almost on
his arrival to demand that he should
stultify himself and permit them to have
their way. 1t is, we have said, only on
the condition of the duel being thorough
ly in earnest, and fight to the death,
that it has raiSOn d'ctre in modern so,
ciety, and the history of this French
regiment proves that it fourishes il
these modern days chiefly on the credit
of being inocuous.
