Duels and Duelinp.

During the first French Revolution in
1898, dueling was very common. Mira
beau and famille Desmoulins both went
out and met their foes. The eloquent
Barnave had two duels. Danton was
challenged by the Duke of Artois, but
declined. Two days after another roy.
alist asked him if he would rather be
kicked than shot like dog, to which
Danton replied, as he was the challenged
party, he would choose the guillotine,
which ret0rt he made good by causing
the royalist to be beheaded in a few days.
Under the second empire there were
many duels. The newspaper men had
their full share. One editor was chal.
lenged for having stated that the SUBJ
lieutenants in the army devoured too
many refreshments at social parties; the
whole set challenged him. The editor
selected one and "pinked" him; his
second flew at the editor and wounded
him seriously; and, as the journalist
lay on his bed, the whole body of repub-
lican editors called on him and formed a
committee of combatants to fight for
him. This was as late as 1858, and two
years after, in 1860, the DUO d'Aumale
challenged the cousin of Louis Napo-
leon, Prince "Plon Plon." He consulted
the Emperor, and Eugene was so in
eensed that she exclaimed: "The gen.
tleman who wants to fight never asks
questions or takes advice" and Louis
Napoleon added, with a wit more keen
than cousiniy, a few days after: eff
