A Practical Illustration Of the Civil and
the Social Code OF Paris
Where was il that rid the follow
ing charming story2 In Saintine, I
think.
Some sort Of savage-an Indian,
perhaps to Paris to live per-
manently. He made study OF our
ways and customs.
In drawing-room he had discus
sion, and dealt to his opponent such
square logic and common sense as
fioored him completely. So much was
the adversary enraged that he slapped
the savages face.
"This is further proof" said the lat
ter, that you are not right, for you
have nothing but brute arguments left
to you," and, enchanted by this last
victory. he looked around him with an
air OF triumph. In place of viewing
smiles, however, he sew only stupefed
faces and scornful eyes. He was
astounded himself when gentleman
with grave air, face graced with
whiskers, and wearing the red ribbon
of the Legion of Honor, took him by
the arm.
"You are stranger, are you not?"
he asked.
-"I am"
Il felt sure you were. You are not
familiar with our customs. After the
outrage you have received man of the
world would send two friends to de
mapd reason from the assailant."
what reason can demand from o
man that has none?"
Reason, such as you think of, has
nothing to do with it. To demand rea-
son simply means to propose single
combat with the sword or pistol"
"Indeedl How strange. / shall
conform with the custom Immediately"
A meeting was had, pistols being
chosen. The Indian, who was accus-
toned to hunt the tiger in his native
jungle, promptly inserted bullet be-
tween the two eyes of his antagonist,
and killed him as dead as Moses.
Shortly afterward he was summoned
to answer for it. A gentleman in an
official robe of red, wearing the cross
of the Legion of Honor, demanded the
infection of severe punishment on the
ground that it is time to do away with
usages worthy of the barbarous ages.
The poor devil turned his head to
see this terrible accuser, and uttered
an exclamation of surprise.
why" he cried, you're the very
man that told me / must fight or be
disgracedl"
"Silencel" exclaimed the President
of the court. The prisoner was SEN
fenced to six days imprisonment and a
fine of $40. When all was over he
called upon the Advocate General and
said:
"What sort of joker are you? II
was you who told me that I must
fightl"
The amiable magistrate shook him
by the hand smilingly:
"Of course; when / spoke to you in
that way it was as man of the world
in court spoke as magistrate. Dc
you grasp the shading?"
Faith, 1 don't"
SWELL, you will by and by. You are
not quite used to our ways as yet. -
