PARIS, France, Dec. 20, 1880.
1t seems that the paper war which has
been waging this week between the 7ribou-
let and the Gaulois relative to the Jewish
question, is not to be confined this time TO
winged words" but is likely to assume a
more serious aspect. Baron Harden Hickey,
the American citizen, who was expelled
from France few months ago for his con-
nection with the illustrated Tribouet, and
joint proprietor and editor of the daily paper
of the same name, has just addressed
strong letter to M. Arthur Meyer, editor of
the Gaulois. In this epistle the Baron ex-
presses the opinion that enough black ink
has already been split, and offers, if Meyer
is agreeable, to write the word "fnis" in red
ink. "If you are so ambitious of the glory
of defending the tribe Of JUDAH" continues
M. Harden Hickey" it would hardly bene-
fit me to refrain from telling you that am
perfectly ready to cross swords with you for
my God, who is that of the Christians.
therefore beg you, Monsieur, to receive two
of my friends, who will call on you for tho
purpose of demanding a formal retraction of
the insults that you have written with re.
gard to the Iriboulet, OF which am editor
in-chef, or a reparation by arms" The
challenge is couched in vigorous language,
but there seems to be some confusion of ideas
as to the subject of the insult In one sent
ence the Baron poses as a kind of medieval
crusader, ready to do battle for the God OF
the Christians; in the other, as the ayenger
of that clever but hardly sacred oracle, the
1Tiboulet. The amusing part of the whole
thing is that both papers profess to be the
organs Of Legitimacy.
| Another vitriol throwing case happened
in Paris yesterday, the victims being faith
less husband and his mistress, and the
avenger, of course, jealous wife. A. NJ
Outlet had for some short time been living
apart from his wife with a girl residing in
the neighborhoOd, and the couple were sit
ting yesterday afternoon in cafe in the
Champs Elysee. when Madame Guilletsud-
denly appeared on the scene. She approached
her husband and demanded money for the
support of her children. The reply not be
ing to Madame Outlets satisfaction, sh,
drew bottle of vtriol from her pocket, ant
threw part of the contents in the face of he
husband and that of the girl. Several per
sons at once attempted to seize the woman
and in the struggle, good deal Of vItrio
was thrown about in all directions, Madam
Outlet herself receiving some of 1t in he
face. All three are badly disfgured.
A serious disturbance occurred at L'0rien
on Monday evening. About two hundre,
men belonging to the Marine Artiler,
meeting patrol of the sixty y-second Regi
ment of the Line, composed of ten private
under the command OF corporal, dreV
their sabres and commenced an attack
which threatened the most terrible result;
Overcome by superior numbers, the soldier
were forced to beat a retreat on the guard
room, at the gate Of Morbikan. The ser
geant in command turned out his men, an
the arrival of the gen'darmes soon put a
! end to the disturbance, not, however, with
out several serious wounds on either side.
