The general attention bas been recently at- tracted to a monstrous French duel. The rec- ords of such things in France present another duel quite as absurd, but far less horrible. At the beginning of the ro centary, the city of Strasbourg resembled Caen in possess- ing a certain number of wrong-head gentlemen who took a jure in getting up disputes. Soldiers of all ranks had ample opportunities of picking quarrels whenever they wis! it, and often when they did not wish it. In [794. a in of }, Dam ournier, indulged in this amusement to his heart's content. At ater period his merit and his courage earned him the epaulettes of a General of division His aggressive temper and bis address with arms reudered his name celebrated in the an- nals of the duel. He was invariably the victor in these unfortunate meetings; and Strasbour, had to reprosch him for the loss of several o her sons on the most futile motives of quarrel, and especially for having killed, on very tri- fling grounds, a young man named Blume— generally beloved, the only su tof @ au- merous family—whom he had chalienged with- cut apy plausible reason, and slain without the slightest pity. Thedeath of Blume was regard- ed as a public misfortune, and sympathized in by a public mourning. On the very day of Blume’s funeral, General Moreau gave 4 ball, to which were invited a'l the members of the high bourgeoisie. It was desirable to avvid the scandalous scenes which could not fail to take place between the fellow- townsmen, perhaps the relatives, of the unfor- tunate deceased and the aggressor, who was styled his murderer. Gen. Moreau, therefore, i hia aid-de-camp to prevent Captain Fournier from entering the ef gichtary Dupont stationed himself in a cor- ner of one of the antechambers, and immedi- ately he caught sight of him he accosted him, abruptly: “‘ What are you going to do here?” “Ab! That's you, Dupont’ Good evening, Parbleu! You see what I am doing; I am come to the ball.”” “« Are you not ashamed to come to a ball the yery day of the funeral of that poor, unhappy fellow, Blume? What will his friends and bis relatives say?’ “They may say what they please, it is all one tome. But. [ should like to kuow, what basiness is that of yours ?”” “It is everybody's business. Everybody is thinking or talking about it.”” “Everybody is wrong then. I don’t like People to poke their noses into my aifsirs. And now, if you please, let me é “You shail not go into the ball-room.”” “ And pray, why?” hy “Beeause you must take yourself off in- stead. The General orders you to retire to Jour own apartments.” “AmI “No; it is merely a precaution. “ Are you aware of the consequences of turn- ing Fournier out of doors?" “Ido not want to hear any of your rhodo- montades. Just have the guodness to take Yourself off.”” “Listen !"’ said Fournier, in a fury. “I cannot have my revenge of the Gexeral, be- cause he is my superior officer; but you are my equal; you have presumed to take your share in the insult, and you shall pay for the whule of it. We will fight!” * Listen in turn,” replied Dupont. “ I have long been out of patience with you; I am dis- gusted witn your bullying ways; and [ hope to give you @ lesson which you will long re- member.” passed a sleepless night. He would Pournier have goue mad with vexation, had he not been by the hope of killing Dupont. But the result of the combat was not what he ex- pected, for Dupont gave him afrightful wound “You fence well,’ said Fournier, as he fell * Not badly, as you see.’’ “Yes; but now I know won't catch me a you when [ am w. “You wish for another encounter?” “Parbleu! That's a matter of course ” Ta fact, after a few weeks’ nursing. Fournier, your game. You other time—as a will show 2.” for the second time, was face to face his adversary. It was now his turn. He gave Dupont a bome-thrust, with the comment : * You see clearly you hold your band too low to parry properly. After you have made your thruat you gave me time to stick three inches of cvld iron between your ribs.”” ~« This is only the second act,”’ cried Dupont. “ We'll come to the catastrophe as soon ag pos- sible.”’ Fournier would have liked to conclude the third act by the aid of the pistol, but Dupont claimed the military privilege which obliges officers to fight with their swords. Dupont w: wise in maintaining bis right. for Fournier's experience as a pistol shot is still remembered with astonishment. He bas accustomed his ser- vant to hold between his fin, a piece of money, whieh he sent flying with a bullet at five-and-twenty paces distance. And freque: ly one of the hussars of Lis regiment, as he gal- loped past smoking his pipe, was surprised to find it smashed between his lips, without sas- pecting that Fournier had amused himself by making a targetof the tobacco-bowl. The catastrophe, since so we wust style it, brought about no decisive result ; they each re- ceived a trifling scratch. Then these two wise- beads, annoyed at so negative a result, agreed to recommence the struggle until one of the two should confess himself beaten, and should renounce all further resistance. They there- fore drew up the fullowing little treaty, which still exists in the possession of Colonel Berger : “J. Whenever Messieurs Dupont and Four- nier shall happen to be within thirty leagues’ distance of each other, they shal! each perform balf the distance, fur the sake of a meeting sword in band ~ LL. If one of the two contracting parties is unavoidably hindered by hia military daties, the party who is free shall travel the whole of the distance, in order to reconcile the neeessi- ties of the service with the exigences of the present treaty. “LLL. No exeuse shall be admissable except those resulting trom military obligations “IV. The present treaty being wntered into um good faith, its conditions may be modified with the consent of the parties.” ‘The treaty wasexeouted Whenever the twe- madmen were able to meet, they fought, and the most extraordinary correspondence, in the second person, too, the most familliar form of French speech, was exchanged between them. * [ am invited to a dejeuncr by the offices of the Regiment of Chasseurs at Luneville { wrote one of Siem } Lexpect to take a journey there, t accept this polite invitation “As areon leave of absence there, we will take advantage, if you like, of my short stay, to have a pukeat each other.” Or again “ Deaw Friexo ; I shall be passing through Strasbourg the 3th November next, about noon You will wait for me at the Hote! des Potes; we will bave a little feneing.”” Sometimes the promotion of ome of these duellists put a temporary ~ to the regular course of their encounters. The third articte of the treaty enjoined respoct for the miljtary hierareby. There is a letter from Fournier to pont, as follows - “My Dear Duroxt: I am informed that the Emperor bas doue justice to your merits hy promoting you to the rank of General of Brig- ade. Accept my congratulations on an vancement which is no more thegnatural consequence of your knowledge and your gour- age For myself there is a dualie motive of rejoicing at your nomipation.

The singularity of this affair. lasting, as it did, many years, attracted in time mo attention. Dapont and Fournier strictly ob- served the clauses of their treaty. Their per- VOL.
