LIVE AND LET LIVE.

The Times Of last evening has an article
relative to the tendency Of people to order
goods of travelling drummers rather than
sd their coin in the town where they earn
4. Those who resort to such practice DC so
SIMPLY to save Paltry sum of money, and
such a course is the acme of stinsiness.
Small towns are built up by the public spirit
of the citizens, and the men who earn money
in Carson to spend it elsewhere neutralize
the efforts of progression and Enterprise. Such
men should be spotted and treated as drones
10y the rest of the hive. Seine men excuse
their conduct on the ground of hard times,
not realiz ng the fact that such men as them
selves contribute more to stagnate business
than break in stocks. They are the canker
worms of trade, and enough of them will in
time eat the heart out of a city like an army
of bsrers demoishng tree. 1t is up hill
work for a small town to make any progress
against such people. They embrace all classes
from the wealthy man who buys his groceries
ly the wholesale in San Francisco to the
women who think they must send below
or their little articles of tinery. OF course
there is another side to this question If
tradesman charges two prices for his goods he
cannot expect the town to support HIM but
when he endeavors to make simply fair
profit he has a right 10 expect The patronage
Of the town he lives in, and deserves 1t. Let
the buyers and sellers of Carson meet half
way, and there will doubtless be much less
cause for complaint.

DueIIinq Among the German Students

A students " double duel " in Ger
many is described by correspondent of
the London Times, who was himself an
eye witness. When he arrived on the
ground, near Jena, the cOmbatants In
the first duel were then being bandaged
and strapped up by the surgeon; one of
them had had his cheek cut right
through, but within ten minutes he was
drinking beer with his companions
Preparations were then made for the
second encounter. Each combatant had
his right arm very carefully bound up
with silk wraPplngs, to protect the arm
from the severe cuts given 10y the swords,
which instead OF beng soft iron We're of
fine tempered steel, thin and light, with
n heavy hilt, giving thus great advantage
in making quick strokes. The right
arm is held up by cOmrade, because
the weight of the strappings would other
wise fatigue him before the fight began
The movements were mavelously quick
and elegant. After each round the com
batants stood up while being sponged.
and showed no signs of fatigue. People
who are ignorant of the practices of these
students are apt to condemn the German
government for being lax III stopping
such encounters. The government do
all they can; but the students, to prevent
being caught, place spies on the noun
tain tops and along the valleys, who,
upon the approach of an official, gives
warning by shrill whistle In an in
slant sawdust is thrown upon the pools
of blood where the fight has taken place,
the swords are locked up, the duellists
patched up hurriedly, and the whole
company suddenly becomes thirsty, and
the bottoms of the "kaunchens are ell
waited by the dozen, the students drain
ing them with great gusto, even those
who are cut about in such manner that
scars, of which they are highly proud,
viii mark them for the rest of their lives.
