Duelino i'm Earnest

A German professor has lately met his
death in a peculiar manner. He had a
quarrel with person which, but for one
circumstance, would have been settled by an
ordinary duel. The preventing circumstance
was that his opponent was near-sighted and
as the professor was nice in his sense of
honor he refused to take advantage of his
enemy'sinfrmity. Therefore the duel was
after what the German papers call the
American fashion. They drew lots to see
which should commit suicide. The lot fell
to the professor who promptly killed him.
self with pistol. 1t might be suspected
that the learned professor had obtained his
notion of what is the American fashion by
reading dime novels. Certainly there have
not been duels of that sort enough TO estab-
fish fashion in this country, and perhaps
not one in fact.
The German professors sentiment of hon
or is also quite different from the American
type. In the recent duel between two Viz
ginia editors, one of them was near-sighted
but we heard nothing of any unwillingness
for that cause on the part of his opponent to
exchange shots with him. Naturally the
near-sighted man missed the mark and was
himself hit. If there is any American fash
ion in dueling it is that nobody shall be hurt.
How different this is from the conditions
upon which the German arrangement pro-
ceeded is clear to anybody. 'sWar to the
knife is a phrase which seems tame 10
view of the dread certainty of fatal results
which drawing lots for the privilege of COM
uniting suicide implies. But if the foolish
ness of dueling is to be persisted in perhap,
the German plan is not the worst. There is
chance that in this way duels would cease
to be ridiculous farces, and at least one of
every frain resorting to the code will get sat
isfaction. And as for the settlement of the
question of fact or of honor involved, the lot
is quite as fair as an exchange of shots in
which one or the other always has an ad-
vantage.

THE Massachusetts legislature adjourned
on Friday, after session of 206 days, beat
ing the record by one day. The length of
the session, as it is well known, has not de-
pended on the amount of strictly legislative
work but on the peculiar investigation un-
dertaken at the instance of the Governor,
prosecuted by him. and which resulted in a
verdict that the charges he had made against
the management of State charitable instr
tuition were untrue. 1t was not a strong
legislature, and contained few men qualified
by talent or experience to lead parliament
tary body in such circumstances as have sar-
rounded it. Andrew johnson in his ugliest
mood was not more vicious than General
Butler; but he was able to give much trouble
to congress which was led by men as able
as any in the nation, men whom it would
not be expected to match in any State legis-
lature as such assemblies are selected in
these days. However the patient and digni-
fed if not very energetic or brilliant proceed
ings in dealing with the smart trickster who
disported himself in the Office of Governor
was not Intellectual. 1t gave rope with
which he has probably hung himself, SO far
as future honofs are concerned. He was
failure as a politician before the war. He
was a failure as soldier. He
was failure as Congressman, being re-
jected after trial by two dis riots And he is
failure as an executive magistrate.
