A ,Mod-rn Sole mon,

A reoeLt French Judgement may be
cited o. an illustration OF Arab manners

travelling through the interior With his
wife, be was on donkey back and she was
afoot. BY came 3 rich Arab on horse
back and offered her . lift behind him.
She accepted and presently in the course
Of the journey, confded that she was nm
hsppily married. Her companion pro
posed 3 plan by which she might elope
with him, and she agreed to 1t readily
Accordingly when they came TO branch
road they increased their pace and paid no
heed TO the protestations Ct the husband
who was soon left behind. He succeeded
10 tracking them TO the horseman's village
only to find that precautions had been
taken against bis arrival, or everybody as
serted that they bad kncwn the runaway
pair for many years IS man and wife, and
that the real husband must be an impu
dent impostor. The unft rlunste man had
recourse to the French, who we're at first
puzzled how TO sct In the face OF vii
lagos unanimous testimony. At last =
happy thought occurred to the jndge.
He placed the real husbands dogs in one
room. those OF the other man IN smother,
and confronted the woman with both.
Arab dogs are very faithful to their own
households and very fierce towards strang
ers; SO, though she did her utmost to irri
tate her own dogs, tney could not be re
strained from fswning on her, and though
she lsvished every Establishment toward
the dogs OF her new home they barked
end showed their teeth with ever.ipcreas
ing fury, The Judge thereupon ordered
her to be given back TO her Husband, and

A New Terror For Tutors.

Dueling has shown a new develop.
ment in Germany. The university stu
dent is no longer content with dlshgur.
ing the noses, chins and cheeks Of his
friends to avenge supposed insults or
with gaining the glory of scarification
himself. He aspires to greater enter
prises and is determined no longer to
stand the tyranny of his professors and
examiners. The president Of the Berlin
university had the misfortune the other
day to plow student in An examination
for the twelfth time. This candidate Tor
academic honors resolved no longer to
tolerate such repeated insults, and forth
with sent the president challenge by a
fellow student. The president, however,
refused to comply with the polite re-
quest of pistols for two and coffee for
one, or Of swords and holsters in the
park in the early morning. But he has
not sent the bloodthirsty undergraduate
for change in the country, as he might
we'll have done. The students Of Berlin
have dubbed the professor a coward.
But the German press thinks that his
decision not to accept the challenge is,
on the whole, justified. They argue it
would never do for the undergraduate
at a university to be able to appeal to
arms if plowed in an examination. And
there is certainly something from the
professors side to be said for this view.
