The Strangest Of Duels.

Perhaps the most remarkable duel ever
fought took place in 1603 1t was peculi-
|arly French in its tone. and could hardly
have occurred under any other than .
French state of society. n. le Grandpre
and NJ. le P,que had = quarrel, arising out
|of Jealousy concerning . lady. They
agreed to fight duel to settle their respec-
tive claime, and, in order that the heat Of
|angry passion should not interfere with
the polished elegance Of the proceeding,
they postponed the duel for month. the
lady agreeing to bestow her hand on the
survivor of the two, If the other was killed;
|at al events this was inferred by the two
men, If not sctually expressed. The duel
lists were to fight in the air. Two balloons
were constructed exactly alike. On the
|day denoted LIE 0randpre entered the car
Iof the balloon, Le Pique and HIS second
that of the other; it was in tho garden of
the Tuileriea, amid m immense concord
|"f SPECTATORS. The gentlemen were TO
fire. not at each other, but at each others
balloon. in order TO bring them down by
the escape of gas; and. a pistols might
hardly have served this purpose. each one
took . blunderbus in his car. At the
given signal the ropes that retained the
cars were cut, and the balloons ascended.
The wind was moderate, and kept the
balloons at about their original distance
of eighty yards apart. When half mile
above the surface of the earth . prccon-
certed signal for firing was given. LIE
Pique fired, but missed. LIE Grandpre
fired and sent hall through LIE Piqus's
balloon. The balloon collapsed, the car
descended with frighsful rapidity, and Lc
P,que and his second were dashed to
pieces. LIE Grandpre Continued his ascent
triumphant'y and terminated his voyage
successfully.

the very midst of this public rejoicing N
unlimited fairy came to sit Il the banquet.
There were already . dozen ct the table.
and the strange visitor made the thirteenth.
She was not gay. like the others; on the
contrary. her face was full of meditation,
grayity and sadness. Every one began to
say. "What 10 che doing here with that
unearthly countenance:" She had sat
down. but she rose with majesty and thus
spoke: ''You invited al the good fairies
to the cradle Of France, and you forgot
me. Woe be unto you! France shall
have days of victory and conquest. She
shall be rich in corn and wine. She shall
beguile the world with her grsca. But
whenever she is about to enjoy her good
fortune, an unforeseen catastrophe shall
hurl her into the ebyss Of war or Of revolu.
tion. And thus / shall he avenged. "Who
art thou, thenl" they cried out from every
side to the ayenging fairy. She was a.
ready at the door; she turned on the thresh-
old and said, in tone at once solemn and
II am Wisdom! France may
have ct her cradle all the other good fairies,
but % she had not me. all the rest will be

We Are ALI Turning to Ind ans.

A Mr.. Howarth, of London, thinks the
American people are acquiring the physical
peculiarities Of the Indian. In a rec mt essay
he says:
The change that 22O years have produced
in the inhabitants Of the old States of New
England is most marked. Although of Anglo
Saxon, or rather of English descent, they
have acquired very distinct type. Their
hair has grown long, scant and wiry; their
whiskers have also disappeared, and the hair
on the face has been more and more confined
to the chin. The face has grown square, the
cheek bones projecting, the limbs long and
wiry, the body thin, the color sandy and
brown, and SO markedly that the typical
Yankee is well-known sub-variety Of the
human species.
In all these respects the race has rapidly
approached to the indigenous American type,
namely, that of the Indian. Il will not be
argued that this has been due to the mixture
Of native blood. Neither will it be argued
that natural selection has produced it.
The tendency of the American type is to die
out, and the population is practically kept up
by the immigrants and their immediate de-
scendants OF two or three generations. The
only reasonable cause is that q change of
climate, ETC., which rapidly converts the
English type into one like the indigenous In
dian, great external cause dependent upon
no struggle Of individuals, not operating from
within, bu. acting upon the whole race stimuli
