TIE DUELLo IN GERMANY.

The practice of student dueling in Ger
many has always been a subject of wonder
and mystery to the outside world. Why
the German youth should cling so tena-
ciously to custom which results in the
most disfguring mutilations, and which
is so essentially barbarous, has long puzzled
foreigners. Yet so strongly entrenched
is the duello in that country that it has
latterly appeared to take fresh Develop
ment. and within the past six months
number of savage and even fatal contests
have occurred. The sanction given to
dueling at the German universities of
course has a powerful reflex influence
upon society, and one of the consequences
is the growth aud increase of the same
practice among the army officers. There
have been more military duels this year than
az any previous time, and it would seem
that the Government, in endeavoripg to
cultivate an esprit DIT corps in the army,
had unwittiDgly given a dangerous en-.
couragement to quarreling over trifes.
Occasionally an effort is made to check
dueling by furnishing some particularly
fragrant offenders, but experience shows
that when such custom has been
firmly rooted in a country, it will defy
legislation or penal enactments of any
kind. If the German Government really
desires to do away with the practice it
must begin With the Universities. Tn.
questionably it would find such task
anything but easy. The resistance Of the
Bmschen would be great and persistent.
Yet it is there that the custom has its
roots, and consequently there alone can it
be attacked with any prospect of success.
1t is brutal and savage custom, and an
enlightened and progressive people like the
Germans ought to recognize this, and abol-
ish it spontaneously. But it has been made
evident by the recent Anti Semitic crusade
in Germany that very much of the current
culture of that people is only skin deep,
and therefore it may be concluded that the
dueling practice has not yet presented it.
self to them as really reprehensible and
discreditable.

THOSE INTERNAL MACHINES.

seven barrels of Internal machines really

marked with a black cross. Then again
the English Government had received
information of the shipment, and were pre-

when they arrived. But it is perfectly
clear that no matter how these things came
to be shipped, the criminality of shipping
them remains the same for machines pre-.

machines were sent by American Feniaus

A BIG SNAKE.-Mr. Summers, reliable
farmer near Waterford, in this county,
states that snake, or rather reptile of
immense proportions, has domiciled itself
on his premises. 1t has been frequently
seen, but a definite and distinct view of the
monster was not had until short time
since, when he was seen by some of the
harvest hands. His snakeshlp was discov-
cred by the driver of the header wagon,
who stopped and called the attention of
the others to it. The men all agreed that
it was larger in size than any they had
ever seen on exhibition. Near where the
snake was seen was large hole, such as is
frequented by badgers on cur plains.
Here the snake secreted himself. A fair
sight, however, was had Of the monster,
and it is thought that he is at least Is or
20 feet in length. From indications he
has taken up his permanent abode in the
old deserted badger camp mentioned -

little matter, and what renders it the
more serious is that by far the most waste
full squandering upon funerals is done by
the poorer classes, who often throw away
all that remains of the estate of the
decedent in ministering to the barbarous
vanity of the family and friends. If this
leak were stopped, whether by the
adoption of cremation or otherwise, there
can be no question that the world would
be very much better off.

AGAINST ADULTERATIoN. - The st.

adopted these resolutions, among others,
on the same subject
WHEREAS, Protection is one of the first
laws of honest industry, and we intend to
protect ourselves against all evil practices
designed to injure US, therefore be it
ReSO1red, That we, the st. Helena VIII
cultural Association, condemn in the
strongest terms any attempt by any party

the addition of any substance of whatso.
ever kind, and more particularly by the
use Of glucose, and that we will expose all
parties importing or receiving the same, by
publishing their names in the papers Of
this and the Eastern States, and that all
wine dealers purchasing wines or brandies
from winemakers using glucose shall also
be published in like manner, and that all
fair and honorable means shall be used by
this Society to prevent any attempt at
such adulteration of the honest products
of our vineyards, believing that the very
life and future prosperity of viniculture
can be maintained only on the solid founda-
ton of absolute purity of our products.
Resolced, That the attention of distillers
is called to the law regulating fruit distil.
leries, and that glucose being the product
of corn, and molasses the product of cane,
the use of them in fruit distilleries is a
violation of the law.

WHAT SOME OF THE PAPERS TALK
ABOUT.

San Diego Union. A wave of suicide
seems to be sweeping over the whole coun-
try. In all parts of the Republic men and
women are blowing out what little brains
they possess, and cutting their worthless
Threats in the most reckless manner. The
compromising circumstance about it is
that it rids the world of number of peo-
pie who, if they did not kill themselves,
would kill somebody else, and that they
make business lively for the undertakers
and the Coroners.
HOLSTER AdUdnce A party of four
strangers, thought to be in the employ OF
the Atchison and Topeka Railroad, were
piloted to Pacheco pass and through the
mountains in that neighborhood, Thurs
day, by Frank McCray. 1t seems from
this that the railroad authorities are con
sidering the advisability of running their
road into this valley through the mount.
aims somewhere in that section.
San Francisco Post. We regard Com.
missioner Watts suggestion in regard to
the segregation of prisoners, at the prison
investigation, an admirable one The
great defect in cur prison system is that
there is no means of classifying prisoners.

Prison, it would enable reformatory

Watt suggests, and, to our mind, it has
great practical value.
San Diego Union. Why should the pun.
ishment for an assault with intent to mur.
der not be punished as murder? There is
no reason why. And if such were the law
there would be less murder. During a
recent debate IL the British House of Com
mons member said 1t seems to me
that when the sentence of death is carried
into execution we often punish rather for
the results of the crime than for the crime
itself. We wait, for instance, to see
whether the crime was murder or a saw
age assault If the person who has been
attacked chances to recover the offense
does not amount to murder, and yet the
crime must have been the same on the part
of the criminal In such a case a man
ought to be punished for his crime, and not
for Is result

THE death of Mr.. Morris FreibeTi

THE death of Mr.. Morris Freiberg
and his little nephew, Joe Kahn, yes
terday evening by drowning, opposite
the city, casts feeling of regret and
sadness over large circle of friends.
Mr.. aFreiberg was an exceptionally
popular young man. He was hand
some, we'll educated, good natured and
correct in his habits and dealings, He
has lived here a good many years but
was as well known in Cincinnati where
be has relatives as here. He died in
a noble effort to save the life of his
eleven year old nephew, to whom he
was dearly attached. The boy was a
a very bright, manly lad, and
was a great fayOrite with every
body about his fathers store, and
with his teachers and sehoolmates,
In his terror he seized his uncle who
came to rescue him in a death grip,
and they vert down together in the
treacherous waters of the Mississippi,
The deplorable event touches many
heart outside of that devoted family
circle, now darkened forever. Mr.
Freiberg had hosts of friends, and
perhaps not an enemy in the world.
10 his sister, Mrs Kahn, and her
children, he was all that loving
brother or father could have
been. The happiest relations existed
in the business firm Of Kahn & Frei-
berg, and in the family. This double
taking off of promising youth and
splendid young manhood is one of the
saddest tragedies that has cast its
shadow across our local annals for
many day. How forcible and awful
seem the words, I'm the midst Of
life we are in death"
