THE DueL,sr BOUGHT OFF.
How the Honor OF n scrupulous French
man Was Satisfied.

| How the Honor OF n Scrupulous French
! man Was Satisfied.
The French craze for dueling reached
during the time OF the restoration its
most extravagant development. Nine.
lie Bassonville gives striking example
of this frenzy in her memoirs. The
royal body-guard at that time was COM
posed for the most part Of arrogant aris-
tocrats, and was by no means favorite
corps. The popular wit lost no oppor-
tunity of ridiculing the objects of its
antipathy. One evening at ball in
the opera-house the Viscount Siran-
dier, an officer Of the guard, was talk
ing with a friend. when suddenly an
unknown man came up and boxed the
Viscounes ears. The result was natur-
ally tremendous sensation.
The stranger craved pardon ut once
and said he had made q mistake in the
person, but the apology was not consid-
cred sufficient to prevent a duel. The
aggressor was an American, and on the
field of combat he recefJed sword
thrust through the arm. The Viscount
was still dissatisfied and fortnight
later he again challenged his adver-
sary, who, in the meantime, had re-
covered from his injury, sod this time
gave him dangerous wound in the
breast. The Yankee recovered q Sec
ond time and promptly took ship for his
home in Louisiana.
In the meantime tho local papers of
the French capital teemed with jests
and sarcasms. 1t was said that the peo-
Pile who were killed in duels by the Off
GERS of the body guard always turned up
afterward in excellent health, etc, etc.
This determined Sirandier to follow his
opponent to Louisiana. In New Orleans
he presented himself before his foe and
declared, with great frankncss, that he
must kill him. The Southerner asked
II tho nobleman's hatred was not yet
satisfied
81 don't hate you at all, my dear sir"
replied the Frenchman, politely, "5ut
owe it to my military position to take
your life"
''Then resignl" promptly suggested
the Louisianaian. H
'ISut have no property
''Oh! is that where the trouble lies?"
said the American, overjoyed. "Then
have way to help us both. j have
pretty daughters marry her and I'll give
you 1000. 900 francs as dowry."
The Viscount found the lady charm
ing. fell in love with her and married q
fortune, which permitted him to give
up his military career and spare tho life
ct his father-in-law. Exchange.
