Another nloodless puel.

Half a century ago, when two men fought
a duel, it was at least highly probable that
one of the two would be wounded,'n not
killed. In those days it was respectable to
fight duel. The custom is wrong, bar
barous, illogical, absurd, under any clrcum-
stances but when men met each other IN
earnest and it was really probable that one
or the other, or perhaps both, would be
killed, the tragic character of the contest did
something to hide its absurdity. But one
of these journalistic duels, of which news
comes up from the Southwest every few
months, has no redeeming feature. 1t IS q
pure farce Generally the two enraged COM
batants, who have been writing each other
liars and scoundrels for a month beforehand,
do not even fire shot. convenient police
officer arrests them or warns them from the
ground, and if after preliminaries which
cover quires of paper, they do at last meet
and are actually placed face to face, with pis-
tolls in their hands, and stand there long
enough to fire, nobody is hurt. Thus two
st. Louis journalists exchanged shots at
twenty PAGES" on Saturday, and ''tired too
high" says the report of this silly business.
And then, as they could not agree upon
another shot, they and their seconds went
OFF, and, we trust, were heartily ashamed.
Certainly they gained no credit or glory
among their respectable friends, or with
society at large, by their folly. Sensible
people, even in the South no longer admire
the duel or regard it as Legitimate method
of deciding a dispute. If these two had
killed each other they would have been
thought pair of foolish hotheads. AS they
did not even hurt each other they have
simply made themselves ridiculous.
