In Austria and Russia the duel is n far
more dangerous affair than in France. In
the former country pistols are used at close
range, or furious and prolonged struggles
with swords have almost equally serious
effect. Dueling in the army is rife, and
among civilians it is carried on with no less
bitterness of feeling. Nevertheless some
men are often engaged with but slight Ill
effects.--Loudon Tit Bits.
