Military Duels in France.
From "a Nem York San.


The death of young soldier of the Sixteenth
Dragons from wounds received in a duel has
led to a lively discussion in the French papers
on the practice of dueliug in the army. On this
subject the Petit PdriSien has interesting arti-
Gle In some regiments it appears. duels are rare,
owing 10 he frmness of the colonels but in
others affairs of honor are matter of daily oc-
currence. In the cavalry regiments especially
this practice hourishes. When two soldiers
have dispute so long as they do not come to
blows, they need not fight unless they wish to-;
but box settles the matter, and. whether they
like it or not, they must meet, sword in hand
the next morning in the riding school The
captain, often without consulting the parties
interested. asks permission from the colonel for
| the rencounter, and the latter, nine times out
OF ten, grants II. Nothing then can prevent
the duel. The adversares may be only too glad
to be reconciled, but it is all TO no purpose ;
iEht they must. The fencing master is notified
lie has the sabers sharpened. Then each IN
lucky soldier spends the evening in the sale
d'drnS, where he receives counsel and adyica
from the prevots, each one Of whom has an in
fallible secret stroke or botte to teach him.

Florida's Legislature.

In the minds Of some of the people of
Florida there seems to be a doubt whether
the Legislature that the governor has con-
vened in extra session is the one chosen last
November, or the one chosen in November,
1886 This doubt is based upon that pro-
vision of the constitution which fixes the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in
April as the date of tie meeting of the
legislature in regular session.
The provision of the constitution that
fixes the date for the regular meeting of the
legislature cannot be construed as meaning
that the legal existence Of a legislature
begins with its regular session. The
constitution provides that the
members Of the legislature shall
be chosen on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November. They
constitute the legislature, therefore, as soon
as the result Of the election is known Con
gressmen, in nearly all the states, are
elected in November; their terms of service
begin on March 4, following, but the regu-
lar session of the congress to which they are
elected does not begin until the first Mon
day Of December-niae months after they
become members. The law fixes the date
of the beginning of their terms. They are
congressman and draw their compensa-
ton from March 4, although they may
not do any legislative work until the be-
ginning of the regular session,
The constitution Of Florida clearly means
that the term of legislator OF that state
begins with his election III November and
terminates with the election of his sue
cessor. There is no doubt that the legis-
lature that will meet in the extra session
called by Gov Fleming is tae one elected
on Nov. of last year, That is the only
legislature in Florida.

A Paper Mine.

Did any of the readers OF the Star ever hear
