In view of the recent duel between the

disputes:
Oficers have their disagreements. of
be settled. Dueling is forbidden by law:
but actions respecting infractions OF
mess etiquette, or OF ungentiemaniv OF
unsoldierly conduct, may be submitted
to the mess committee, the punitive
powers in which are extremely far feach-
ing. The life of an officer sent to Cow
entry by his fellows is uncomfortable, and
his only chance is to exchange.
But all this is moral suasion only, ana
In the end disputes are frequently settled
by a resort to first principle-the rule OF
fist: while redress Is sometimes obtained
in ways as drastic as they are novel.
A gentleman Joined a crack cavalry reGi-
ment. He had no pedigree or family TO
HMM fact, ms father WAS Il
retired brewer. and by scions or nobiiitv
among his comrades he was rather coldly
received.
Are YOU the son of Dash the brewer"
inquired one of these.
Il am"
Then why don't your father bring you
up to his trade?'
9 Wen; you're the son of Lord Blank
aren't you?"
Yes"
Then why didn't he bring you up a
g~entleman?'
The upshot of this was n rough and tum-
BILE, wherein was demonstrated that in the
army plebeian is the equal of the peer-if he
can box as well.
Another gentleman from the ranks of
