There was French regiment in which
ducling 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,
Tcariod out OF patience, changed the
commanding officer. \ 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 60 out and fight. To
the amnzement OF everybody he gave
his consent; the officers went forth to
fight, they slightly wounded each other,
and "hOnOr was satisfied, us the phrase
goes upon these occasions. They were
no sooner recovered than they received
IN order TO wait upon the colonel.
"Iou hnve to go out and fight again
Tomorrow" he said; as they looked Mt
him with questioning aStOnishment, he
explained: "When officers fight i'll the
regiment have the honor to command,
they kill. Go ~
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 honccforth and
forever iii that regiment, and Il good
many besides, there was M end OF
duoling. The fate OF the young men
who were thus sacrificed to bring about
such result was sad, but they brought
it on themselves, innsmuch rs being
fully aware that tho colonel was sent to
rcpress ducling. they chose almost on
his arrival to demand that lie should
stultiiy 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 Il fight to the death,
that it has n rajsnn dc'rc in modern SO.
cicty, and the history of this French
regiment proves that it fOurishcs in
these modern days chiefly on the credit
Of being inocuous.

Training n Child.

Tho very first lesson parent has to
learn is that whatever he attempts to
teach child he must himself first prac-
tice. Whatever he wishes his child to
avoid, he must make up his mind to re-
nouncc, and that from the very earliest
stage of existence, md down to the
minutest things. In young children the
initiative faculty is so enormous, the
reasoning power 80 small, that Cnc can
not bc too careful, even with infants,
to guard against indulging i'll harsh
tone, n brusque manner, n sad or angry
look. As far rs is possible the tender
bud should live in IN atmosphere OF
continual sunshine, under which it may
safely and happily unfold, hour by
hour, and day by day. To effect this
there is required from the parent, or
those who stand in the parents stead,
m amount of selfcoutgol and seli-dc-
nial which would bo almost impossible
had not Heaven implanted on tho one
side maternal instinct, on the other tha
extraordinary winning charm which
there il about MI young creatures,
making us put up with their endless
waywGrtlncss, and love them all tho
better the moro trouble they give us.

A Criminals Career,

Looking at the picture numbered No.
l9j, III tho New York police court gal
lcry, says Il correspondent, a careful OBJ
server would Mt once pronounce it to be
that OF talented man. The high fore
head, fincly-shnpcd head, and general
contour OF the features denote intelli-
gcuce and iirmncss. 1t is that Of Charles
II. Bullard, alias "PiNno Charley"
one OF the most expert bank robbers i'll
the country. In company with Ike
Marsh and Mark Shinbrrno ho effected
tho famous robbery OF tho Ocean bank,
in New York city, by which nearly $780,
900 was carried of by the burglars. Then
came, in 1868, the equally daring rob.
berry of the messenger OF the Merchants
Union express company, on the New
York Central road, between New Yorl;
city and Buffalo. Bullarll, Marsh, and
one Thompson entered tho express car,
bound and gagged the messenger, and
stole 800, 900 from the safe. They fled
to Canada, but were cxtradited and
lodged in White Plains jail for trial.
Ex.Recortler Smith was hired by Mrs.
George Roberts to defend the prisoners
aud was paid $1,000. After the exami-
nation, which resulted in their being
committed for trial, the gang went
through tho ex-recorler on his way
home, and stole back the $1,000. Then
a party OF notorious burglars, headed by
Billy Forester, of Nathan murder ce-
lcbrity, perfected n plan for freeing
Bullard, Marsh, and Thompson. They
went to White Plains and dug into the
Jail whilo the prisoners assisted them
from the inside. The men were freed
and were lost sight of until the robbery
OF the Boylston (NIass.) bank in 1869.
The bank was plundered Of $40, 900.
1t was then learned that Billiard,
under tho name Of Julson, hired the
house next to the bank, and with Ills
companions cut through the wall into the
bank vault. Billiard at once fled to
Paris, taking his wife with him, and
under tho name OF Charles II. Wells
opened M American drinking saloon
under tho Grand Hotel, on tho Boule-
ward dcs Capucincs. 4 faro bank was
carried on in private room at the rear
of the saloon. The place was continually
thronged with Americans, and Billiard
did thriving business for over year.
Bullard was finally arrested and the
place broken up. Dullard was tried at
the Palais dc Justice on n charge OF
keeping gambling house, convicted,
and sentenced to one years imprison.

and was robbed OF quantity OF valuable
