SARCEY'S FAMOUS DUEL.
The Principals Were Forced to Sepa-
rate the Seconds.

AT this moment appears gentleman whom
all Paris knows and almost all Parisians adore,
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 Yields 1t with
unquestiOned authority. Like most Partisan
celebrities. he was born in the provinces, at
Dourdan. where bis father kept school after
the fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the army
in which the elder Sarcey had insisted on enlist
ing In spite OF his excessive nearsighledness,
transmitted TO his son. There Sarcey's parents
tOiled with varying fortunes. and thence Fran
cisque took his flight 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 respectfully considers dramatic
criticism an art and not trade, and perhaps
for that reason is the greatest critical authority
III France.
He told US of his duel with Hector Pessard,
th musical critic and comic opera composer,
who is very charming man. by the way.
Sarcey, in 1865, wrote scat hing attack on
Glrardns paper La LiberTe. Emile de Girar-
din obj cted on principle to duels, so the
editorial staff considering their literary style
insulted by Sarcry, drew lots as 10 who would
call him out and kill him if possible. The lot
fell on Pessard. Now PeSsard and Sarcey
were great friends; but IL was necessary to
obey the call of honor, SO PesSaTd sent the
challenge. which Sarcey adopted with dignity.
The adversaries took of their coats and vests
and faced each other, sword in hand, when 10,
the four seconds took to squabbling over some
detail. The dispute was long and fer0cous,
and the two adversaries fell into conversation,
sword in hand
Quotn Pessard-I am frozen. Would you
mind If | put on my coat?
Sarcey-A good idea. We can kill each other
later.
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear Sarcey,
how greatly l admire your talent.
Sarcey-I can say the SINE 10 you; but why
are we gong TO XIII each other?
Pessard-l don't quite know. 1t seems you
grossly insulted me, and If do not succeed in
killing you that you must certainly Stay me in
explanation.
Sarcey (medltaiively)-I do not remember
having insuted you; but II you say so. sup
pose IL Is true
In the mean time the four seconds were quar-
reling furouSly. One gentleman was shakl ng
ms INST In his opponents face, and another was
brandishing his riding-whip. whereupOn Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing ana said
come, PesaTd, let us separate cur seconds,
and then, instead of cutting each others throaTs
