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. Frank. 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.
