SWORDS FOR TWO
WuNTW TURIN AND PRINCE HENRI
FIGHT A DUEL.
u Fighting Was Most Determined
""u lasted Twcnty-Six Minutes
frince Henry Received Two se-
rious Wounds OF Turin
was Wounded In and-Abso-
iute Rest Is Necessary To Prince
Henry's Recovery.

iaris, Aug. 16.-The count of Turin
and Prince Henri of Orleans fought a
duel with swords in the Bots de Mare
chaux, at Vacressin. NJ. Leontieff act
co as umpire. The fighting was most
determined Inc lasted twenty-six min
u.es. There were five engagements,
OF which two We're at close quarters.
lrince Henri received two serious
wounds in the right shoulder and the
right side of the abdomen. The count
OF Turin was wounded in the right
hand Prince Henri was taken to the
residence Of the Due de Chartres and
received medical attendance. His con-
dltlon is as satisfactory as could be
expected. The doctors. after consulta-
uon, have expressed the opinion that
no important organ was touched. but
absolute rest is necessary for recovery.
The details Of the duel show that the
encounter was very sharp and deter
mined. Immediately on the crossing
OF swords Prince Henri vigorously
pressed his adversary. The count of
Turin retreated TO the limit of the
ground and then resumed the often
sive, touching his opponent. The third
and fourth assaults ended in long en-
gagements within guard.
The Temps says that the wound in
h abdomen of Prince Henri is seri-
GUS but not alarming. Had the count
OF TURNS steel gone half a centimeter
deeper the intestines would have been
perforated.
A Desperate Struggle.
The parties arrived at the place
agreed upon almost simultaneously.
Little time vas wasted in the prepara-
tons. They fought in their shirt
sleeves. Prince Henri with bare hands
and the count with gloves. At the
word both started vigorously. so Wig
orously as TO astonish and disturb the
seconds. 1t was a thrilling exhibition
of sword play. and ]. Leontiff. de-
scribing il with extraordinary vivac-
ity, says il was terrible. 1t appears
that Henri's sword was bent by a but
ton of the counts trousers. But for
this chance il seems there is little
doubt that the count would have been
run through. or at least dangerously
wounded. In fact the doctors and sec
onds thought this had happened.

The Angelus Bird.

When travelling in the forests of Gui-
ana and Paraguay, it is not uncommon
to meet with bird whose music great
ly resembles that of an Angelus bell
when heard from distance. The Span.
iards call this singular bird bell.ringer,
though it may be still more appropriate
ly designated as the Angelus bird. for.
like the Angelus bell, it is heard three
times day. morning, noon, and night.
It's song, which deties all description,
consists of sounds like the strokes of a
bell, succeeding one another every two
or three minutes, so clearly and in such
a resonant manner. that the listener, il q
stranger, imagines himself to be near
chapel or convent. But it turns out
that the forest is the chapel and the
bell bird.
The beauty of the Angelus bird is
equal to his talent; he is as large as a
jay, and as white as snow, besides being
graceful in form and swift in motion.
But the most curious ornament of the
Angelus bird is the tuft Of black arched
feathers on it's beautiful head; it is of
conical shape and about four inches in
length. Angel.
