prlnkinn Students al Leipsic

Ridiculous ducls, says q Leipsic letter
to the Boston AlUertiser, are frequent
and are against the law, but as they are
not attended with danger they are
winked at. 1t is said here that these
duels increase the sense of honor, etc,
an idea for which I cannot see one spark
of justification. Each additional scar
on astudent's face increases his swagger
and ins"' ~ lie only increase visible
to me. i 81 irlts occur very seldom. and
when they lo Happen amount to moth
ing. Tnty push and scratch and shout
great dp,l. and that is about all. A
few day ago :ogether with Western
friend, | was watching one of these
pushing matches, when the gentleman
in question observed, in a disguised
tone of voice "Out in Chey anne,
where live, when fifty men get to fight
ing you have to sweep up the eyes and
noses afterword," saying which he
jumped down into the middle of the
crowd, doing the only damage reported.

an officer here, famous only for his
drinking abilities. At dinner one day a
comrade offered to bet him large sum
that he could not drink quart bottle of
champagne out without taking the
bottle from his lips. The challenged
man thought moment and said /:
Give me haitian hour to think it over
He went out came back in haitian hour,
accepted the bet and won it, amidst
great applause. Some one asked him
why it took him so long to accept the
bet. Well" he said, &" was not quite
sure that / could do it, so | went home
first and tried it, and found that | could
do it, and then came back.n
