SUPPOSE a CASE.

Suppose there should be a fair and
conservative adjustment Of the tariff at
the present session of Congress. Sup
pos. farther that good many Repub-
licnn members should stand with the
Democrats in enaoting and making this
fair and conservative adjustment. And
suppose still further, which does not

settlement should take the tariff issue

would, what then? What would the

stated this morning that he had been com
rletely bewildered by the event. He had
fought i'll the campaign Of 1870; had seen
dead men by the thousand; but the Specta
Gle of his friend lying dead in Il frock coat
amid the %SprOuting grass, with his eyes
turned up towards q sunny sky, had UNI
nerved him. He had tried to load the
pistols with buttons before the duel, but
NJ. DupuiS was eXdSperated and wanted
to fight it out. Another second NJ. Sill
veStre, also insisted ON the pistols being
properly loaded. All the men deny that
they lunched and drank at the Longchamps

4 DUEL IN PARIS.

Fuller particulars regarding the deplora.
bic duel which caused u sensation III Paris
yesterday are now to hand. The affair has
made all the more noise inasmuch as 1t
was a surprise, people having learned to
regard pistol encounters, owing to their
harmless results, as mere CLASHES In the
pam which did nobody any harm. The
victim WAS NJ. Felix Dupuis, a painter of
some talent, fifty-six years old, married,
ana the father Of several children. He
had a picture of "Carnot Organizing Vic
tory in last years Salon, and this year
he sent a canvas entitled Gle Lac which
was inspired by some verses of Lamartine,
and represents the poet holding in his
arms a nymph, who watches the dawn
rising ON the mountain tops, its colours
being reflected in a lake. The subjects
are both nude. and the picture, which
has been "skied' by the Jury, was atten-
lively studied by many persons to-day. A
knot of Grape was attached to the frame.
The survivor OF the fatal encounter, NJ.
Habert, is also a painter, and edits a
little local ward paper. He is a pupil OF
BOnnat, in forty,nine years old, married,
and was a friend and frequent visitor at
the house of Dupuis. Some days ago q
young lady, with q taste for verSlttcatlOn,
recited a sonnet of her own manufacture
in the drawing-room of M. Dupuis. the
subject of the verses being NJ. Dupuis
himself and his picture. NJ. Habert ask
ed for a copy of the sonnet for his paper,
but either because he did not receive it
soon enough or through a growing enmity
towards his former friend, he wrote a sar-
castle article, in which he made uncompli-
mentary illusions to NJ. and Madame
Dupuis and to the youthful poetess. NJ.
Dupnis accordingly sent his seconds to NJ.

III i8ce1la u s..
(Npeetator. April l4th I8SB.l

General B~oulanger is one of the
oldest men who has tried for supreme
power in France. He was born in
1897, and is therefore fifty one
years Old. His mother was a Miss
Griffith, believed to have been n
Welsh lady, and he is in person sim
goIar unlike the popular idea of him.
There is not a trace of the charIatan
in his face, which is that of thought
full, over:determined Staff officer
trained to scientific thinking, and as
much German as French. He has
had thirty years experience in the
Army, though not in high positions,
and is reckoned by his comrades an
excellent, if not a first class officer.
They say he can organise, and this
IS repeated more strongly by those
who were in a position to watch his.
short-lived administration of the War
Office, where he made himself AT once
supreme, and where he contrIved.
without relaxing discipline, to make
himself considered the soldiers friend.
OF his inner character his ncquaintan-
ces seem t" know little, but they credit
him with daring courage, much am
bition, and a most determined will.
He processes to be without party
feeling, and is probably at heart,
like most strong men in France who
are not LegirimistSY a Jncobin who
can govern.
