MODERN FRENCH DUE LISTS,

The practice of dueling probably origina-
ted in France during that semi-barbarous De-
Rod which preceded and followed the League,
and some of the quadrangular or sexangular
| fights which occurred under the reign of the
Valois and their successors, Henry " and
Louis XIV, have become historical on account
of the high rank of the parties engaged, and
Of their generally fatal result Not even the
iron will of Richelieu could altogether repress
dueling, which has continued to flourish,
though under q somewhat milder form down
the great journalistic revival of the practice
by our Partisan brethren of the quill
Although ready enough to perforate his op-
ponents with sharpened foil or glittering
"colichemarde," however, it appears from
the recent Cassagnac Rochefort affair that the
former bellicose individual and his friends
entertain insuperable objections to fight
with pistols at five PAGES, as proposed by the
insulted party, for the very illogical and
even somewhat ridiculous reason that such
a duel must necessary result in the death Of
one or both of the parties engaged. 1t fol-
lows hence that, in the judgment of Mr.. Cas-
sagnac and his friends, duel should always
involve minimum of danger for at least one
of the parties engaged.
Mr.. Rochefort having fought once before
with Cassagnac and discovered that he was
no match for that imperialist bravo with the
sword, naturally concluded to try him with
another weapon, and being short-sighted, Sc
lected the shortest distance allowed by custom
in this country, where many duels with fire.
arms have taken place at such ranges without |
either of the parties being killed, although |
one or both were generally more or less badly |
hurt. A gentleman, well-known to the old |
inhabitants of New Orleans, the late Judge |
man of great nerve, undoubted |
personal bravery and great skill in the use of |
the pistol, encountered Mr.. Lepouze at five |
PAGES, without either of them being struck-a |
fact perhaps owing to the rapidity with |
which the command was given by the seconds. |
As usually measured in such cases. five
PAGES amount to about twenty feet, SO that |
he allegation of Cassagnac's friends, that the |
pistols would touch each other at that dis
ance, is quite as absurd as their objection to
he proposed arrangement on account of its
highly dangerous nature. If dueling was
more dangerous in France it is likely that
here would be much less of it, and to
hat extent, at least, an improvement would
follow the adoption of the American style
Of fighting, although the feelings and
he persons of men of the Cassagnac
stamp might be more or less seriously
hurt. The practice Of dueling has become

i. TCHEFUNCTA" AGAIN.
LETTER FROM Able RoUQUETTE, CONTAINING A
SHORT LESSON IN CHoCTAw.

We do not often have cause to be please,
with mistakes, but since an error which crep
into an article of ours containing an accoun
of an interview with Able Rouquette ha
served to elicit the following interesting com
munication from that distinguished scholal
and eminently good man, we have reason fol
once to congratulate ourselves thereon.
Though living almost as recluse, Father
Rouquette has long been known as pro.
found student and as being more thoroughly
versed in the languages of the aborigines
than perhaps any one else in the country. He
is not only finished scholar, but poet.
We have heard those who have been fortu-
nate enough to read unpublished poems by the
good and gifted Able compare them to Long
fellows Some day We hope to see them given
to the world, though we fully appreciate the
rare modesty which causes the author to screen
his works-which are truly labors of love-
from the eyes of the multitude. The follow
ing is the Abbe's letter, which contains more
Choctaw than-we confess-we ever knew
before:

Page M Baker, Esq, Editor Bulletin.
Dear Sri thank the very able representative
Of the BULLETIN, who has been so kind as to
write an article on a visit to me- which article is
at the same time so congenial in spirit, so poet
cal and srtistically beautiful. But beg to state
that have been misunderstood, for I did not
give the name Hachoofakty as a compound word;
the word as it is, four-syllabled, means chincapin
Or small chestnut but hacioo does not mean
chestnut, nor fakty small. The word for chest
nut is oty, and small or little one, is rendered in
Jhoctaw by the words ush, iskitini or chpinta;
small chestnut would therefore be otushi, oty
skitini, or oty chipinta. Hachoofakty, an uncom-
,ound word, means chincapin or castanea pumila. !
Yours respectfully,

OUR SUMMER TORMENTORS.

We do not venture to dispute that the mos
quito was created for some benevolent, though
mysterious purpose, and that it plays a, per-
haps more important part in the general &C
curacy of nature than philosophers ever
dreamed Of; but that it is an intolerable bore
and nuisance will be the unanimous verdict
of all who have ears to hear, as we'll as bodies
to feel. 1t is indeed subject of doubt
whether its provoking signal of attack is not
quite as dreadfully annoying as its semi
poisonous bite, and it is therefore with un-
speakable pleasure that we have just read in a
medical report presented to. the French Acad-
envy of Sciences by DR.. Border, that there is
a process whereby any heightened sojourn of
this domestic pest in our sleeping rooms can
be prevented without subjecting the inmates
thereof to inconvenience. All that you have
to do, according to the sauam above quoted,
is to keep in your room branch of eucalyptus
globadus, whose perfume, though perfectly
harmless, and even agreeable to the human
smell, possesses the highly commendable
property of putting the mosquitoes to flight
We have heard and read great deal of the
various uses to which the eucalyptus can be
put, through the fever-dispelling and malaria
absorbing properties of its leaves, its eff
cheney as a vegetable and selfacting draining
machine, its rapid growth, and the durability
and strength of its timber; but even if all
these stories should turn out to be more or
less mythical, if its capacity to deliver us
from the persecution of our diminutive,
winged tormentors is a reality, it ought to be-
come one Of the most popular and extensively
cultivated exotics in Louisiana. That its
shadow may ever increase and multiply in the
land must be the fervent prayer of all who,
like the deponent has just been endeavoring
to scribble off few lines in uncomfortably
close companionship with at least dozen Of
these voracious and maddening insects.
