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 Australian Duel.
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.
