SARCEYS FAMOUS DUEL
The Noted Partisan Critics Own Story of
tho Encounter.


tho Encounter.
At this moment appears gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-namely, Francisque
Sarcey. Knowing himself to be among
friends, he talked freely. For half a
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now he
wields it with unquestioned authority.
Like most Partisan celebrities, he was
born in the provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept school after the
fall Of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite of his excess
i've nearsightedness, transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his fight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints Of the late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work. He re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not trade, and perhaps for
that reason is the greatest critical au-
thorlty III hrances.
He told US Of his duel with Hector
Pessard, tho musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is very charming
man, by the way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote scathing attack On Girardin's s
paper, La Liberte. Emile de Girardin
objected on principle to duels, SO the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey, drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him If
possible. The lot fell ON Pessard. Now,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends,
but it was necessary to obey the call of
honor, SO Pessard sent the challenge,
which Saroey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each ether, swords in
hand, when, lol tho four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail. The dis

SENATOR MCPHERSON RETIRES.
Continuous Sessions, He Says, Have
Broken Down His Health

TRENTON. N. j.. Oct Ex-senator
John r. Mcpherson has announced his
intention to retire from public life. In
a letter to Moses Bigelow he states that
after full elaboration he has decided
that he cannot return to the United
States Senate even IL his party sees fit
to elect him again.
Senator Mcpherson says that the last
four years in the Senate were almost
continuous sessions. and that the great
strain put upon him broke down his
health, and that this Is the main reason
that he does not desire to return to the
Senate. Senator Mcpherson told re-
porter to-day that he had nothing to say
on the matter and that his letter to Mr..
Bigelow spoke for itself.
The letter Is as follows:
COLLEGE PLACE. NEW, YORK.
Hon. Moses Bigelow, Newark N. J.
Dear SIR | have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt OF your valued favor Of the 23d ult..
in which you call my attention to the fact that
my term in the Senate ends with the fourth day
nent inquiries in respect to my political plans
and purposes OF the future. l have received
many such letters OF late, but have been unable
e-e this to reach any decision whatever about
the matter: but I am now forced. however. to
for fourth term in the Senate The condi-
ton of my health to mysel: and family is mat
ter to be considered and | have decided to- take
a long rest from the excitement OF political and
official labor Of every kind.
For period OF eighteen years have served
the people OF New Jersey In the Senate OF the
United States faithfully and diligently and with
all my ability, and during this long period have
taken an active part in all the important legis-
lation enacted by Congress, and | am proud TO
be able to say that none OF the votes there given
has been condemned unfavorably criti-
cised by the generous people OF the State. For
the past four years the sessions have been almost
continuous, and by reason OF long confinement In
the Senate Chamber the strain upon me physically
has been quite as hreat as bear and
prompts me to say that for the present cannot
assume the responsibility OF active, exciting
political struggle which the situation in New
Jersey seems to make necessary to insure COM
plete success
desire further to say that while I am not
anxious to return to the Senate where | have
been honored by my State with a seat for
longer consecutive period than has been accorded
to any other citizen OF the State since the or
ganization Of the Federal Government, am anx-
the party and shall feel greatly disappointed in
not being able to assist greatly as could
wish my political friends and associates in the
contest now pending Cor the election OF my sue
cessor. (Signed.) J. r. MCPHERSON.
