Heidelberg Students.
Their l aps and “ Hack-Hair” -Won
derful Drinking Feata.-How Duel*
are Foaeltt— An American Carrion
oil' (he HouorN In botli Drinking:
and Ptghtins.
IlEiniaßKJia Germany, March 20.
Last Friday I went to sec one of the fa
mous Heidelberg duels, which arc fought
here so frequently by the students. It is
not. always easy to obtain access to one of
these duels, and, unless you are acquainted
with one of the “Corps Students,” it is an
Impossibility. I was fortunate enough,
when I first came here, to get acquainted
with one of the “ Yellow Caps,” and so saw
a sight which many leave Heidelberg with
out seeing. I will first tell you about the
“ Corps Students” themselves, and then
about the duel which I witnessed.
THE “ COUPS STUDENTS”
are so called because they belong to “ Corps”
or “Clubs,” and are quite different from
the other students, inasmuch as they never
think of studying or going to lecture, and
divide their time principally between drink
ing, dueling and loafing; while the other
students do really study. In Heidelberg
there are seven “Corps.” called respectively
the « White.” “ Green,” “ Yellow,” “ Blue,”
“ Light Red,” “ Dark Red” and “ Crimson
Caps.” All the “ Corps” have different
names, of course; but they are called here
after the color of their caps ; for instance,
those students wearing the white caps, are
called the “White Caps;” those wearing
the “ Green Caps,” etc.. The best of these
“ Corps,” and the one in which the mem
bers conduct themselves the most like gen
tlemen, is the “Corps” called the “White
Caps,” which is composed cntcrely of the
sons of noblemen. All the members of these
“ Corps” have two caps. One is called a
“ street cap,” which is a common cap, made
out of cloth of the adopted color of the re
spective “ Corps," and the other is a little
can, about the size of a saucer, also made
of c!ot.h of the adopted color of the " Corps,"
and covered with either gold or silver em
broidery, which makes them very expen
sive; some 01" them are worth as much as
sixty or seventy guldens. These little caps
are called “ KniepeP caps,” which means
a cap which is worn when they get to
gether of an c veiling to drlnfc. They are held
on the head by means of a rubber which
passes around the back of the head, just as
a lady passes a rnbber around the back of
her head ; the only difference being that a
lady has a chignon, and the students have
none. They pay quite as much attention,
however, to the fixing of their “ back hair”
as the ladies do ; and if yon could see them
with their hair parted in the most exquisite
manner, and plastered down with (opon an
average) a quarter of an ounce of pomade
to every three hairs, you would coincide
with the opinion of not only myself, but of
every one who is possessed of the average
amount of common sense, and think that
they look like so many apes strutting
around the streets. Indeed, since my ar
rival in Heidelberg, I have been more in
favor of the “ Darwinian theory” than t
ever was before; and I sometimes think
that, If his theory be true, and we do all
spring from apes, the Heidelberg “Corps
Btudents” didn’t spring very far.
TURTIt JTAUIT OF DRINKING
is really something beastly. They drink
upon an average about twenty-five glasses
of beer a day, and most of them have arriv
ed at such a point of perfection in tijc no
ble art of drinking that they can drink be
tween sixty and seventy glasses of beer of
an evening, and uot feel much the worse
for it. They do this about five evenings a
week. The habit of regularly drinking so
much beer would oI course! not agree with
Americans (in fact, two Americans have
died here on account of drinking such a
quantity of beer); but it doesn’t seem to in
jure the Germans at all, for the ability to
drink so much lieer seems to belong exclu
sively to them, and is apparently handed
down from father to son. As an example
of their drinking powers, I will cite the
following two examples : A few evenings
ago one of the “ Corps” were drinking at
their clubhouse, and one-of the members
came in aR the clock was about to strike
twelve, and bet that he could take twelve
glasses of beer during the twelve strokes
of the clock. Accordingly the beer was
laid before him, and, much to the astonish
m-iut of even the students themselves, he
did it, The same evening one of the stu
dents drank one hundred glasses of beer
on a bet, and was hardly affected at all by
It. These are really wonderful things to
do, when you consider that one of these
glasses contains almost two pints of beer.
About two weeks ago, however, one of
them got pretty well intoxicated, and went
home ami got to bed (after & fashion), leav
ing the lamp burning, which exploded and
net the room on fire; and you can imagine
how drunk he must have been when I tell
you that his legs were burned horribly be
fore he became aware of the fact that there
might possibly be something the matter
with him, and accordingly staggered, half
smothered with smoke, out of bed. He was
so drunk that he didn’t know enough to go
to the window or door, but still screamed
out lustily for help, which, alter a while,
brought the neighbors to the rescue, but
only in time to see him faint. They car
ried him, horribly burnt, out of the room,
Sfe lailu mMirnm.
and took great care of him for one day and
a half, at the end of which he died, and
was buried with a torch-light procession,
as all the “ Corps Students” are buried.
THESE FUNERALS
are quite interesting. All the “ Corps Stu
dents” collect around the house of the de
ceased, and from In line with blazing torch
es, till ehe last word is giveh to march.
Firsa comes the band, playing the Students’
Funeral March; then the officers of the
Corps to which the deceased belonged, in
fail dress, and carrying the swords which
they fight with in their duels; then the
hearse (with coffin exposen,) drawn by
horses in black drapery; on the coffin aje
placed the cap am) sword of the deceased;
then follow his Corps, bearing torches; then
the clergyman and parants of the deceased,
and then members of the other Corps, bear
ing torches. They all march to the grave,
and after singing the Corps song, they
bury him. They then march to the square
in front of the University, and, after sing
ing another somr, they throw their torches
on the ground in the form of a cross, and
then march to the other side of the river,
to the house where they have their duels,
where they give three cheers—whether in
honor of the dead student’s soul having
taken flight or not, I won’t pretend to say ;
but it certainly seems very ridiculous to
me, that after having just buried one of
their friends, they should give three cheers.
But this is as nothing when I tell you that
after giving the three cheers, they rush into
the house, add drink and drink until about
aqout noon the next day, when they are
seen walking, or rather stumbling, along in
the direction of home, in a very uncertain
and undignified manner. Some of these
are also seen embracing each other, vowing
eternal friendship; some are leaning over
fences, and (as we call It on shipboard,)
“delivering np their accountsand some
(I am very sorry to say it, but as I am tell
ing about it, I might as well tell the truth,)
are so very drunk that they can’t go home
in either of the three ways that 1 have just
written about, and fairly succumb and lay
down in the road, and are taken home by
the next policeman who happens to appear.
Os course, this continual drinking makes
the students very large; but the largest
Corps Btndent that ever appeared in Ilei
delburg
WAS AN AMERICAN,
who came here an average sized man, and
wont away something wonderful to behold,
and having the honor of being the best
drinker, and also the best duellist In lli i
delburg. So you see America bears the
palm here as everywhere else. He fought
something like a hundred duels, and never
got defeated till nearly the last one he
fought, when he got his nose almost cut.
off; but, nothing daunted, he stepped up to
his adversary, holding his nose on with
his hands, and challenged him to another
duel, which was accepted. They fought,
and the lndymitable American, American,
tjie hero of a hundred duels, came out
ahead, to the great gratification of all his
admiring friends. He la considered to have
been the greatest man in Heidelberg (which
he certainly was as regards size), and his
name will probably be handed down from
generation to generation, and looked np to
as something superior, something almost
immortal, by the students.
The house which they use for
THEIR DUICTiS
is situated a short distance out of twon,
and, when a duel is going on, sentinels are
placed communicating from the house to
the lown ; but this is entirely unnecessary,
for, although the duels are against the law,
yet they are winked at by the authorities ;
in fact, the inhabitants are rather proud of
them than otherwise, and would be very
sorry if they were put a stop to. The sta
dent who took me to seethe duels, auu my
self, started at about half-past ten in the
morning, and walked for about fifteen min
utes. We arrived at the house, and, after
introducing me to all his corps, we sat
down by a table, and talked and drank
beer and waited for the duel to commence.
The duels are arranged so that there are
duels on three days of the week whether a
provocation is given or not. The way ofit
is this: The director of the duels t akes the
names of the members of the corps in regu
lar order, and pairs them off, and they arc
compelled to fight., although they may be
the very best friends in the world, or per
haps even relations, So, you see that, when
a feliow goes into one of these corps he is
compelled to fight, although he may be a
very peaceable feliow; for, as I said before,
they don’t wait fora provocation, but fight
anyway. The swords that they fight with
are made of a long and very thin piece of
steel, which bends very easily, and is as
sharp as a rasor, so that the least touch
leaves a mark. The students here are cut
horribly, and some of them arc really dis
gusting to look at, their faces are so fright
fully scarred. The head is the part of the
body aimed at, and is, in fact, the only part
that cau be hit; for the upper part of the ia
padded so thickly that the sword cannot
cut through the padding. When fighting,
the sword is held over the head in such a
position that instead of sticking,it slashes;
and the eyes being protected by large iron
spectacles, it is very seldom, if ever, that a
real injury occurs, further than cutting up
their faces, and that doesn’t last long, for
the wound soon heals up, and leaves a
scar, which the students are very proun of;
in fact, they don’t think very much of a fel
low unless he has at least one scar.
Last Friday I saw four duels. Each pair
fought for a quarter of an hour, unless the
doctor declared one of them was too badly
hurt to fight it out for that length of time,
when, of conrse, the opposite party was
declared victor. When a student got cut,
the students all walked up and examined
it in the most unconcerned manner possible.
The director wrote down in his book how
long a cut it was, and also how deep it was
(the longer and deeper it was, the more the
sufferer was thought of); and the doctor
washed it out and sewed it up, and theduel
continued, unless the student that was cut
was unable to do so, when he was declared
to be the loser ; and the next duel went on
In. the same manner. All this reminded
me very much of a barber shop, with the
barber calling out “ Next,” when hie chair
is empty.
I can assure yon it is disgusting, and I
went away with more contempt for the
Heidelberg Corps Students and their duels
than ever.

Dklrgation to Congress in Behat.v
of the Great Western Canal.— The
suivey of the contemplated route of the
Great Western Canal being completed,
Col. McFarland, the Chief Engineer, has
gone on to Congress to submit his report
to that body. The delegations from the
several towns and cities in this State are
making active preparations to follow him,
to use all their influence in this important
enterprise in getting the recognition and
endorsement of Congress.
Besides a committee of five, appointed
by the National Commercial Convention,
there are from this State a delegation of
twenty-five or more prominent and in
fluential citizens who have always been
leading movers in public enterprises. The
State Agricultural Society appointed Col.
Thomas Hardeman, of Macon, Senator
Steadman, of Covington, and Col. Atkin
son. of Marietta.
Mayor James, of Atlanta, Mayor Scre
ven, of Savannah, and Mayor Iluff, of Ma
conj will all lend their personal influence j
by attending as delegates. Macon sends
fire delegates, Atlanta three, Savannah
three, Covington two, Brunswick two,
Rome two, Milledgeville one, and probably
Athens also will send a delegate.
It is the pur|K>se of the Atlanta delega
tion, Messrs. Frobel, James and Gordon,
to leave this city about next Wednesday
or Thursday, so as to reach Washington
City on Saturday, aud they earnestly de
sire that the delegations from other cities
may meet them promptly in that city, to
co-operate with them in the Interest of
this great enterprise.— Atlanta Sun.
