-8ARCnY'S FAMOUS DUEL
The Noted Fnrlslan Critic's Own Story of
the Encounter.
At this moment appears a gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adoro--namely , Francisgne
I Sarcoy. Knowing hilnEelf to be among
i I21e r , t. . t &l freely. Far half a
century nearly our great crtio has held
the pen , at first timidly , and now he
wields it with unquestioned authority.
Like most Parisian celebrities , ho ' .vas
born in the provinoes , at Dour'dan ,
where his father kept a school after the
) fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the
p army in which the elder Sarcoy had insisted -
sisted on cnlisting in spite of his excessive -
ive nearsightedness , transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes , and thence Fraucisque
took his flight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints of the late Jules
Jauin , who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work. Ho respectfully -
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not a trade , and perhaps for
that reason is the greatest critical au
thority in Franco.
Ho told us of his duel with Hector
Pessard , the musical critic and comic ;
opera composer , who is a very charming
man , by the way. Sarcey , in 1865 ,
wrote a scathing attack on Girardin's
paper , La Liberte. Emilo do Girardin
objected on principle to duels , so the
editorial staff , considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey , drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him if
possible. The lot fell on Pessard. Now ,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends ,
but it was necessary to obey the call of
honor , so Pessard sent the challenge ,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each other , swords in
hand , when , lo ! the four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail. The dispute -
puto was long and ferocious , and the
two adversaries fell into conversation ,
sword in hand.
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen. Would
you mind if I put on my coat ?
Sarcey A good idea. We can kill
each other later.
Pessard-Let me tell you , my dear
Sarcoy , how greatly I adiniro your tal-
ent.
Sarcey-I can say the same to you ,
but whyarowo going to killeach other ?
Pessard-I don't cuito know. It
seems you grossly insulted me , and if I
do not succeed in killing you that you
mast certainly slay me in expiation.
Sarccy ( meditativoly-I ) ( lo not remember -
member having insulted you , but if you
say so I suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were onarreling furiously. One gentle-
mall was shaking his fist in his oppo-
nent's face sad another was brandishing -
ing his riding whip , whereupon Sarct'y
suddenly burst out laughing and said :
"Come , Pesard , let us separate ou :
secouls , and thou , instead of cutti : : ; ;
each other's threats , we will go and
have some breakfast. "
t Which was no sooner said than done ,
I and the two duelists have been fast
I friends ever since.-Paris Letter in
t Philadelphia Telegraph.

EXCURSIONS FOR SCHOOLS.
A Fern , of Instruction Scarcely Yet Known
in This Country.
Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country , but
long established in Germany , is the
school excursion. Indeed , while to the
uninitiated this measure may be regarded -
ed as no less than revolutionary , it is
nevertheless true that excursions from
two to three weeks in duration were undertaken -
dertaken by Salzmaun with the pupils
of his school at Schnepfenthal , in Thur-
ingia , when Washington was president
of the United States. Since the close of
the last century the school excursion , in
one form or another , has been growing
in popularity in Germany , and today
it forms a regular feature of perhaps the
majority of the elementary schools of
that country.
The school excursion offers the most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches of knowledge -
edge , for the reason that , by means of
outings , the pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases of
nature and the works of man. And indeed -
deed the locality is exceptionally unfavorable -
vorable where an abundance of material
may not be found for instructing the
child in geography , history and the
natural sciences.
In Germany this broad study of the
environment is recognized as a distinct
branch of knowledge , known as die
heimathskunde ( homeology ) , and as
such is included in the curriculum of
the fast three years of the elementary
schools.-Dr. J. 1)I. Rice in Formn.
Limitations of Name.
"I went into the office of a Texas editor
tor one day , " says Mr. Fred Pelham ,
the Lyceum bureau man , "to see about
some corrections in the proof of a pro-
gramme I was having printed there.
This rename , ' says I , 'is Bret Harte , not
Bretelwaite. ' 'All right , ' answered the
editor. But the name came back 'Bret-
harte. ' Again I undertook to explain.
'Brut is the first name , and Harte is the
second , ' said I. 'Surely you have read
his books and know about Bret Harte ,
the poet-author ? ' 'No , ' said the editor ,
'I never heard of him before in all my
life , but then you can't expect the editor -
tor of a live daily in a busy town to
have time to seep track of every little
jimcrow poet that bobs upChicago !
Record.
A Pardonable Mistake.
Hotel Proprietor-What is that crowd
outside looking at ?
Clerk ( after a brief inspection- )
Well , I swan ! That jay in No. 500 has
twisted around his gas jet and poked it
cut the window with the flame burning.
Proprietor-Front ! Take a pair of
shears to No. 500 , get that card which
says-
"Don't blow out the gas.
Turn It out ,
