 PARIS, July 1L-A duel took place
 close to Paris yesterday between two acrobats belonging to travelling circus. The men quarreled and resolved to fight
 in the ring after the performance. The
 conditions were two shots each at
 twenty-five paces. The weapons were
 pistols. Neither combatant was wound
 ed, and the incident was apparently at
 an end, but the duelists and their sec
 onds had over looked the presence of a
 couple of trained monkeys, who sat
 munching nuts during the affair of honor. These animals had been taught to ride round the ring dressed as soldie' s. firing pistols as they rode. They saw
 the duel and when the ring was clear
 they initiated the proceedings. Gravely
 loading their weapons, they took their
 places at a distance of five paces only.
 Both fell dead, the wadding of their old
 fashioned pistols acting as bullets and
 blowing off part of the head of one of
 the combatants and wounding the other
 frightfully in the breast.
