Duehnq at Heidelberg.

Henry Ruggles is looking through
Germany without spectacles," land
gives the following as his views Of
dueling at Heidelberg:
"The duelist who first attracted
my attention by his CORY face was
evidently getting the worst of the
battle. At every encounter he re-
ceiVed fresh wounds, and magma
ton could not picture worse sight
than he presented. Blood was flow
ing down his face and body like
rain and forming little pools in the
sawdust that was scattered around
his feet.
"The scene reminded me of the
bull-f fights that | had witnessed in
/ Spain, only this was the more bru-
tai and inhuman of the two. 1t
! seemed every moment as if the man
| would, from the loss of blood, fall
| back dead in the arms of his com
rades, who were watching the con-
flict with terrible eagerness and
suspense. But not for a moment
did he show signs of weakness or a
disposition to give up the combat.
Two or three times he signalled for
a rest, that his friends might wipe
the blood that had gathered in his
eyes and blinded his sight. A glass
of water that was held to his lips be-
came as red as port wine from the
blood that flowed into it from his
face, but / noticed that he drank it
all the samU.
"His adversary, it was evident,
was at the end TO be the champion,
although he had received some bad
cuts, one of which came near sever
ing his nose.
"He was the superior swOrdsman,
and had given five wounds where
he had received one. The man OPP
posite him-the bloody man-was
to be the under dog in the fight
The contest had lasted thirty min
utes-it seemed hours-and would
have continued until one had been
killed, had not the two surgeons
interferred and ended the fight.
They examined carefully the
wounds of the under dog pro-
nOunced them so serious that the
fight was declared at an end; and
the two gladiators, leaning and part
ly supported on the arms of their
brother students, were led out into
the hospital to have their wounds
dressed.
"Thus ended the second duel.
which was fought by member of
the white-cap and one of the green
cap corps. The third duel, which
was next to take place, was to be
between a red-cap and green-cap. !
There are five separate corps in the
university, which are designated in |
the streets by the color of their caps
the whites, reds, blues, greens |
and yellows. Among the eight |
hundred or nine hundred students
in Heidelberg, only about sixty be-
long to them. The white-caps are |
the most numerous, and they num-
Der about sixteen. The corps are
very aristUcratic and very select. |
The members are supposed to be-
long to the nobility and to the best
German families, with only the best
flowing through their
veins. To become a member it re-
1uires as much influence, diplomacy
and red-tape as to belong to the
most select of the London clubs.
Whoever is admitted is under the
necessity of fighting duels; that is,
they are not under the necessity,
but if they don't fight they are Ia

LUCKY WOMAN.
The Wife of n south Boston Man

terry.

Last Saturday afternoon repor-
Ter of the Star learned from a res
pOnsible party that man In South
Boston, named Hatch, within day
or two was the holder of a success
full ticket that drew $4,000 from
the Louisiana Lottery at New Or
leans.
The Star reporter found the party
in question to be Horace n. Hatch
of No. 10S street, dealer in stoves,
furnaces, etc., at No. $50 West
Broadway, South Boston, where he
has been for many years favOrably
known.
On calling on Mr.. Hatch, that
gentleman said that 1t was his wife
who drew the prize.
"My wife, and my daughter Ger
tie, and l." he said, leach held a
81 ticket in the Louisiana Lottery"
"How much was the prize ?"'
"My wife's ticket drew $4,000,
and my GertIe drew $50"

on, l have been trying. l spent
sos in purchasing tickets, and drew

last January to stop it,"
Mr.. Hatch then related the partic-
ulars of a dream which his little
daughter Gertie had, which, when
told him by her on Feb. 9th work
ed on him so strongly as to change
his mind a few. days before the
drawing took place.
"Some people," he said, "don't
believe in dreams. / have cOnsid-
cradle faith in them. The day my
little girl told me h.r strange dream
| went over to the city, broke my
January resolution, and bought
the three tickets. My wife's drew
the one-fifth of $4,000 Feb. 18th,

In parting, Mr.. Hatch said he
hoped it was the turn of luck to him

TOO Much Wheat.

1t has suddenly been discovered
that there is more wheat in the
world than can be consumed this
year, and hence the price has fallen
in all the markets of the world. Eu-
rope does not need our American
wheat, there IS so much available
from India, Australia, Russia, Hun
gary, Italy, and other grain-produc-
ing regions. This is a misfortune 10
this country, as we depend so entire-
ly upon exports of grain and cotton
to pay for the goods we purchase
abroad. We will probably begin
to export gold as soon as it is found
that the rest of the world does not
want our grain and cotton.

Suffice it to say we were more
than friends until death parted
us.
Mr.. Editor, / Will describe as
near as / can from memory, Ten
nessee, my friend" Some of his
kindred may recOllect him, or per-
haps a living father or mother may
recognize the likeness of a long lost
son, or brothers or sisters of long
lost brother, or some old citizen yet
living may have some remembrance
of the long, long ago. To the de-
scription.
A perfect man, fully, six feet high
perfect in form; weight, 100 lbs:
a bold, open countenance; large,
grey or almost blueish eyes, some
thing between 1 think; cheeks
slightly full and as red as the rose
nose perfectly straight; forehead
high, inclining a little forward
hair a dark brown beard light
brown, inclined towards red, skin
as fair as the lilly on the body. He
was about 2S years old. Such, sir,
is my recollection OF a noble man.
He was as noble hearted, generous
and brave as any man / have ever
known. Quick TO resent an insult
but ever ready to make peace and
apologize when in the wrong.
Now to his fate. think it was
about the 10th of October, 1852. that
Tennessee went over to Downiville
to lay in supply of provisions, as
all of US were getting short. The
day after he left our camp it COM
menced raining and continued for
nearly a week. Then turning cold,
il commenced showing and contin-
ued until it was over waste deep
At length it cleared off bright and
sunshiny, but extremely cold. In
almost a week the trail was opened
to-Dowieville; but no news
from Tennessee came to our camp.

what it did for AN Old Lady.

Coshocton Station, N. Y, Dec. %.
1S7S.-Gents-A number of people
had been using your Bitters here,
and with marked effect. In one
case, lady of over rs years, had
been sick for years, and for the past
ten years has not been able to be
around half the time. About six
months ago she got so feeble she
was helpless. Her old remedies, or
physicians, being of no avail, sent
to Deposit, 40 miles away, and got
bottle of Hop Bitters. 1t i'm
proved her so she was able to dress
herself and walk about the house.
When she had taken the second
bottle she was able to take care of
her own room and walk out to her
neighbors, and has improved all
the time since. My wife and chill
dren also have derived great benefit
from their use.
