THE HAssARD COMING
And It Is Not Improbable the Whole
French Fleet Will Visit Us.

Sometime today we shall have the
pleasure of seeing in this harbor one OF
the men-of-war of our sister republic OF
France, the Hassard, Capt. Krutz. She
left Quebec Tuesday, September 18th,
and has been making a slow trip to this
port. It is possible that other vessels OF
the fleet, including the flag ship may
arrive later.
The question, "Shall the Hassard be
quarantined?'' was raised. As is well
known there is at Quebec, at least one
vessel quarantined with cholera on
board, but there was no apparent way in
which the sailors of the man-of-war
could have been exposed.
The matter was brought officially to
the attention Of the Portland Board OF
Health, yesterday afternoon by the
French consul here, Ernest de B. LIE
Prohon, Esq, who expressed the hope
that the circumstances of the case would
be considered, due regard being had to
public safety.
The Board of Health having fully con-
sidered the subject, decided that as soon
as the Hassard arrives, the members of
the board will go on board in company
with Consul LIE Prohon. A thorough
examination will be made, and if found
all right, no quarantine will be required.
1t goes without the saying that every
attention, official and otherwise, possible
will be given to the officers and crew of
the Hassard. 1t is possible, as has been
said. that other vessels of the squadron
may be here, as Consul LIE Prohon,
received yesterday a telegram from the
French consul at Boston, saying that he
had official papers for the admiral. This
would at least indicate that we are to
have the pleasure of seeing in our harbor
the flagship of the fleet. AS soon as a
clean bill of health is certified after the
arrival of the expected man-of-war, the
regular official visits will be exchanged
between the commanding officer, and
His Honor Mayor Ingraham.

Lost His Rudder.l

Mr.. E. S. Bibber, a man about 10 years
of age, living at Harpswell, started in a
small boat with a load of fish to come to
Portland, Monday. The storm overlook
him, and when off the inner part of the
outer ledge of Seguin he lost his rudder,
which sank to the bottom. 1t was a per-
ilous position for any one, and especially
SO for an old man, but after four hours
of hard work he managed to beat in and
land his cargo.

A Narrow Escape.

When train No. 10 of the Maine Cen
trail was passing the West street crossing
at Freeport yesterday afternoon, a large
double team attempted to cross the
track. The engineer slowed up and rang
the bell, but before the train could be
stopped the engine struck the team and
knocked it into kindling wood. The
driver, strange to say, escaped with Sc
we're bruises.

This isiRthe statement made by Mr.. Ii. j.

phenomenal record for such month as August
and for a medicine that has been on the market
but two years and eight months. When com
pared with the sales of 1891, which were but
1900 bottles for the entire year. it shows
wonderful increase, and is conclusive evidence
that this remedy is growing rapidly into popu-

welding the sword and DESTROYS OF be-
ing revenged and to wound or be wound
ed. But the Parliamentary duels are
quite another thing. They are under
taken very much for effect. Thus, in
these encounters the combatants seek
to come out without much harm, and
that is thing which cannot occur with
the sword.
But the question Of pistol duelling is
not TO be laughed at, for it is an act, be-
fore the seconds who are there as wit
nesses, of courage and bearing, showing
that whatever the Insult has been it has
not been taken with humiliation, and
that both men are ready to place their
lives in jeopardy, as they both undoubt-
eddy do.
THE first object in the duel with the
pistol is TO place the two combatsnts on
level footing so that neither the one
nor the other has any advantage, and
the first essential of that's that the men
should have weapons which they have
never used before. That is the newt
able rule of the duel"
MORE SERIOUS DUELs.
Sand when you want to make duel
of more serious resuls?"
"Then," replied N. Gastine-Renette,
Especial arrangements have TO be made.
When the case is serious one, then 1t
may be arranged that there be two shots
fred from either side"
What does the law say about it?'
Sat one time the courts are very
much against duelling, and it was suffi'
Gent to have had duel and be brought
UP for it, and severe sentence was
sure to follow. But since the famous
Dupuis case, duelling was in way leg
allied, its necessity admitted. Another
OF the arrangements Of the duel Is that
after two balls have been exchanged and
no harm has been done, the sword:
should be resorted TO. When the out
rage is very great, the offended person
has a right 10 ask that the firing shall
be done with ready aim, instead OF the
arm being brought up al the word OF
command.
"As an ordinary thing, the duel il
fought on the word Of command, and the
rules carried out are theSe:-The two
combatants are first Of all asked II they
are ready. To this both must reply IN
clear voice, Yes The pistol must be
held in the air or down toward the
ground. lam in favor Of its being held

about Par.ian Woman.

Persian women are said 10 be unus-
ua.ly bright and shrewd as we'll as very
beautiful, with dark flashing eyes and
gentle, graceful manners. They are
naturally active minded, with a strong
Iy poetic temperament, and liking for
art, letters, and politics when they can
get at them. The Persian women have
greater power with her men folk than
other Oriental women, and ia most af-
fairs OF Importance her influence may
be distinctly traced. She is permitted
20 enter trades on her own account, to
possess independent property, 10 appear
as witness 10 courts, and is responsible
for her own debts, and in divorce has a
right 70 her children. In theory then
the fair Persian is we'll of, but practi-
cally her place is insecure, owing to the
insecurity OF life and property in all
phases of Persian life. And in Persia
the tender woman and tenderer child
hold their religious convictions with
their lives, and go TO the stake or a
worse death for their faiths sake.

the closing OF one eye makes the aim
neater."
''Does it take long to become a good
pistol shot?"
"a man with good sight and good
health learns rapidly II he will only give
the matter bis attention. One arrives
very easily at moderate proficiency,
but it needs personal disposition, and
above all the quality OF application, TO
reach above the average. With the ex-
ception Of those having physical de-
fects, those who have practiced firing
with assiduity for some time become
good marksmen."
THE PROOF.
The proof OF what NJ. Gastine- Renette
said is shown by the collection OF tar
gets in the gallery, showing that there
are any number OF men who attend the
the gallery and who are first rate shots.
There are evidently more good pistol
shots in this city than there are fencers
OF the same quality.
Pistol shooting has received a strong
stimulus since the war, but neverless 1t
is a pity that there are not more officers
expert Win inc piston tndu Can oo AZ
present recorded. In fact, as good pls-
toll shots officers are rare, and the
strongest shots are civilians. This may
be accounted for by the fact that officers
probably do not have the necessary time
to give TO practice. Among the best OF
the military pistol shots are General
Negrier, Captain Duval and among the
young officers NM. Morlze, Chauchat
and Moreau.
OF the civilians who are active shots
at the present moment are NM. Bon
zon, d. w. Seligman Faurre, Vlscount
Clery and NJ. Cahnzac, all Of whom have
made very fine records on the target
cards.
Owing to the facilities offered by the
smokeess powder, there is an idea OF
shortly starting some revolver competi-
tions In the Avenue d'Antin gallery,
and IL is hoped that the Americans will
join in and show what they can do with
their nation weapon.
