German Students’ Duels. DiesiUu Letter to the Cbicego Tribune. ] had a good view last Tuesday of dueling, :is practiced by (Termon students and their American fellows—for the Americans at the universities hero are apt to be noted as fight ers. An old friend of mine at the Sheffields School, who is now at Freiberg, is called one of the best duellists there. There is only a polytechnic school here, bnt it has some 360 students, 50 of whom belong to the different corps, or “Verbindnngs,” and are forever slashing each other. When a man is elected to a Verbindung, an older student takes him in charge and teaches him how to fight. He is his instructor’s “ Heibesfnchs”—“Body Fox”—and the “Grandson” of his teacher’s teacher. If he doesn’t insult somebody, or get insulted within a year, he is warned to do ho, and fight the consequent dud. The warning is of rare occurrence, however, for these learned geese regard scars as ornaments, and, alter receiving them, drink huge quan tities of beer for a couple of mouths, and so make the scars red forever. The soldier son of our landlady was trained as a duellist by a hero who had slit sixteen noses without getting a scratch ! He has been successful himself, and his “Heibesfnchs" has reflected credit on the family. The son was to take me to see a match of five fights between his corps “Thalia,” and another, “Titonia,” but could not get leave of absence; so he intro duced his “Body-Fox” to me, and I started off under his protection, last Tuesday morn- ing. We had a hard walk, through wind and rain, for half a (German) mile (seven English miles), to a village in the outskirts of Dresden. The place was chosen because the police have recently been active iu catching duelists, and the penalty is a year’s restriction and six months in ptison. After passing three or fonr sentinels, and giving satisfactory state ments as to the why and wherefore of my coming, we were admitted into a ball room, the windows of which commanded the road over which the police would come, if they came at all, which they did’nt In the room were about forty students,—rather fatter than a Yale crowd, but otherwise much the same, except for the particolored caps and sashes which the majority wore. Even this might find a parallel in New Haven just before the Freshmen supper. Chairs and tables were ranged aronnd the sides, and a waiter w as continually bringing up coffee, soda water and beer from the inn below. A part of the lloor, some twenty feet long by fifteen wide, was sprinkled with saw-dust. Through this, two lines of chalk were drawn, to show where the combatants must stand. At either end of the saw-dust were two chairs. Just as we entered two bareheaded men came forward from opposite sides, struggling under the weight of their accoutrements. Each had a heavily wadded cloth covering from ueck to knees, and over the left arm to the elbow. This arm was held behind him by one of the many straps that kept this un couth gear t'ght. Around his neck was a heavy hand, above wLich his head moved w ith difficulty. His right hand was projected l*y a thick buckskin glove, and by a basket hilt of the sword; and the wrist was gay with many colored ribbons. The right arm was a mass of cloth, leather and chain wrappings— so thoroughly protected, in fact, that it was used as a guard, and the sword fell on it harm lessly. The two men sat down, and each rested his clumsy right arm on the shoulder of one of his “ Verbindung,’ ’ who sat by him. The doctor—the same one is al ways engaged—came forward and gTeased their eyebrows, so that the blood should not if »w down into their eyes. Iron spec tacle cases, without glasses, were bound on: basket-hilled swords, some four feet long, with the two edges sharpened for eighteen niches, aud the last eight incbc-s shining like a razor, were put in their hands; aud the um pire, a Freiburg student, who wore the rib bons of both corps, rose and read from a little book the information that Herr So-an-so of “Thalia, and Herr So-and-other, of Titonia,” were to “ fight out” a question of honor dur ing the next fifteen minutes. The fighters tottered toward each other, their friends still upholding theii arms, and the two regular seconds—who were the same for all the duels, and who had short aprons, with the society emblems tberon, and ornamented swords— also advanced. The four swords crossed each other; one of the seconds said two or three words; the arm- holders darted back ; the seconds stepped to the left of their principals, holding their swords so as to parry any unfair attack; there was a moment’s silence; then a cling-cling- clash for a minute or two, while the swords cut and thrust and clashed; then a ciy of “Halt!” from one or the other second, and the two principal fools were led hack to their seats. Then, while they were resting, and their swords were beiug bent straight again, their opponents’ seconds «xamined their heads with e-arc. to see whether they had not re ceived thereon wounds which they were trying to conceal. When the seconds had poked enough, and had then scanned their fingers iu the hope of finding thereon traces of blood, (a wound, however severe, does not “count” unless it bleeds), one of them gave the signal, and the fight re- began. The first duel progressed with little haiui to either party until the last minute, when the Titonian, with a terrific arm-sweep, sent his sword nuder the Thalian’s guard, and cut his left cheek through to the teeth, and from mouth to ear. It was a “terrible” and “unprecedented” wound—so everybody said; and the Titonians clapped, and shouted, and danced for joy thereover. The poor fellow— a Saxon, Mayard by name, w ho hud come out ot two duels without a scratch—had his face sewn up without flinching, and stayed in the room thereafter, a bundle of bandages. Soon alter the fight I saw him chatting easily with his opponent—for the close of a duel is always the signal for a shake-hands, and oc casionally for % kiss. Tho fonr other duels were repetitions of this, except that there were no serious wounds. In one of them, one of the combatants, a Brizilian, lost control of his head, and slashed so violently in every direction that he put his opponent, the doctor, and both seconds to flight, and had to be forcibly con strained to tight according to rule. This combat was a draw. The remaining four were two aud two, so that honors were easy, and v very body walked home contentedly. Besides this sort of fight, there are two oth ers—with cavalry sabres and with pistols— and in both cases without bandages. The student with whom I went is to fight an American at Freiburg, next week, with sa bres, and such duels are not very uncommon, although they are rarely attended with seri ous results, When a gross insult brings pis tols into play, death is, of course, a very pos sible issue. I read in this morning’s paper of the killing of one Strasbarg student by another in a pistol duel. My fncr.d says that some men fight thirty times a year, although this is always an ex ception. A man may, however, be obliged to take np another man’s quarrel—for “Grand- lather,’’ “Father,” and “Body-Fox,” must ever be rea-ly to avenge insults offered to any one of the three.

AN AMERICAN SHOOTS A WELSHMAN — TUET FIC.HT WITH PISTOLS, BLINDFOLDED-THK WELSHMAN KILLED AT THE SECOND FIRE. Correspondence of the New York Sun. Melbourne, May 12. On the 29th ultimo, one Walter Rodney, a Welshman, was shot dead at Ballyrat by an American jobber named Frank Cole. This affair of honor mainly arose out of a dispute on international matters. Several weeks ago Cole, who had been a strictly temperate man for over a year, began to drink freely. Diir- ing Cole’s carousals, Rodney, the Welshman, with whom he lived, missed a purse and a gold watch, one containing £100, and the other valued at £50 or $250. Rodney asserted in pnblic that the money and watch were stolen by Cole, “that American,” as Rodney spoke of him. Cole heard of this and instantly made his way to Walter Rodney to demand of nim an apology or a denial of the report Rodney compro mised between the apology and denial bj an effort to explain how Cole had taken the watch and the money, bat with an intention of re storing them when he had recovered from his spree. Thereupon Cole knocked the Welsh man down with a blow of his fist. It was in a respectable public house, and the lriends of both men promptly interfered by separating the combatants. Rodney, on arising, at tempted to draw a pistol, but it was taken from him. Cole said: “ Rodney, you are a coward, and you have proved it by striving to shoot me while I am unarmed.” Rodney re plied that he “would shoot down any Y'ankee as he would a dog.” Cole tried hard to break through Rodney’s friends, who surrounded him. “If you won’t fight me naturally,” said Cole, “will you give me a chance with a pis tol?” Rodney agreed, asking when and where. “Here and now,” answered Cole. Several ot those present sought to pooh-pooh the affair, bnt the majority stolidly accepted the ultimatum. Pistols were procured, and Itodney offered to give Cole his choice, saying, “ I can shoot against Yankees every day in the week.” Cole seemed to grow white with anger, bnt did not answer a word. A long room in the rear of the house was the place of meeting, and only twelve paces were measured off. The com batants were blindfolded and placed sideways towards each other. The referee repeated the signal, “One, two three.” in a slow measured manner, and three was the cue to the trigger. The first fire ended literally in smoke. Each combatant, pale and anxious, pulled off his mask, expecting to find a corpse before him. But neither of them had been touched. Here some of the witnesses called upon the duelists to accept the result as providential and shake hands. One bluntly refused, and turning to his second (James E. Harlin, of Portland, Me.) be said: “Fix this handker chief aronnd my eyes, and see that it is done there, too (pointing to Rodney), for I must have satisfaction. ” This time Rodney fired “short,” that is, before the word “three was fairly uttered, but he missed. Cole fired on time, and shot Walter Rodney in the right lung—a wound from which he died about an hour afterwards. LEY©: ORE 11 SALES 10011>. 91 iUIUi SUET. JOHN W. LEIGH.
