Inter Ocean. It should read as follows
--"plaCed under civil service regulations,

The Peoples party is now, always has
been, and intends to always be, the friend

A DUEL FON BLOOD.

From the New York Recorder.

From the NeU York Recorder
The recent meeting of Borrowe and Fox
On Belgian soil as a result Of the Drayton
matrimonial scandal, and the later en-
counter of Milbank and De Morny, have
caused a revival of the assertion that duels
taking place in France or kindred countries
are "mostlY fakes" In a regiment, sta
toned at Marseilles, the captain of one of
the troops was notorious bully. He took
a special delight in torturing the youngest
OF his lieutenants, a bright, laughter-lovlng
lad, who was the delight Of the regiment
officers and men.
One day after mess the captain grossly I'M
suited the boy and followed 1t up by calling
him a liar and slapping his face. The leu
tenant flushed and left the room. He had
previously shown his courage at Aaiers,
and his comrades could not Understand why
be should tolerate such continued insults,
They followed him to his quarters and told
him that il he did not call out his enemy be
would have TO 20 to Coventry. TIE young
officer explained that he had strong reli-
pious scruples about dueling and could not
conscientiously go out.
Finally the colonel OF the regiment sent
him the alternative-either fight or leave
the service. The boy then agreed, on con-
dition that the fight should take place with
the W Weapons was to be loaded and the other
unloaded They were to be chosen by lot.
The men stood up. each holding the edge of
a handkerchief. AT the signal the captain
pulled the trigger, when it was found thaA
he held the unloaded pistol.
All ewes were now fixed upon the calm,
resolute, fair-headed boy. The spectators
were confident that, as be held his adversary
in his power. he would either discharge his
pistol in the air or not sho at all. But not
so. He took deliberate aim aud, placing the
inuzzle of his pistol as near the other mans
face as he could reach, blew his brains out.
Then leaning over the prostrate form of his
enemy. he dipped a handkerchief in the
blood and smeared the face with 1t. Then
with exultation he turned to those in the
field and said: "Therel do you consider that
I have wiped out the blood received" He
then strobe from the ground and that even
ing sent in his resignation. Since that
incident there has not been so much
bullying or dueling in any regiment of the

Smith was relieved when the first res

that the play was success.
