Humors of Dueling EVERAL times since his accession to the Pontificate Pius X. has ex, his great interest in the anti-duelist movement which was inaugurated a few years ago in Austria, and has since been taken up, though with scant results, in It Last year several fatal duels were fought, and several scores of duels in which one of the combatants was more or less seriously wounded, yet only in one case did the Italian courts take cognizance of the crime. But a very important step in the right direction has been taken this week in Rome asa result of a series of curious incidents. A Mr. X., of the Socialist organ Avanti, wrote some scurrilous nonsense about Queen Margherita;a Mr. Y., of the Giornale d'Italia, denounced X. asa blackguard, and declared that he was unfit to shake hands with; X. promptly challenged Y. to fight a duel, after resigning his position on the Avanti, because the Socialists profess to discountenance dueling. On the appointed morning the principals, with their seconds and doctors, met outside the Porta San Pan crazio, but after tilting at each other for an hour or two with swords without effect they got tired and put off the battle till the next morning. The next morning X. managed to jab Y. in such a satisfactory manner that the seconds declared that honor was satisfied. That being so, of course X. ceased to be a blackguard in the eyes of Y., who was immediately embraced former foe with great affection, and the two have been on excellent terms turally X. then returned to his desk at the Avanti and became a fi gain.

Z., after carefully eying his man, made a sudden rush at him with a stick, but he had forgotten to note that X. was surrounded by a group of burly friends, and before the unfortunate Z. knee anything he was lying on the floor under a large assortment of broken cups and saucers and fragments of marble tables, literally dyed in his gore. He is now in hospital, but hopes to be able to fight soon his duel with X.X. will again cease temporarily to be a Socialist editor while he and Z. are trying t When one of them has succeeded in this noble object, honor will once more be y happy, X. will recommence his article about the Queen, and Z foolery would perfe will resume the pen which is mightier than the sword. not deserve mention but that it has a very interesting sequel which will certainly give pleasure to the Holy Father. : A number of very prominent persons in Rome—Generals, Senators, Deps ties, lawyers, ete., of all shades of political opinion —have formed themselves into a jury for deciding all so-called questions of honor. When a dispste arises between two individuals, either may select two members of the jury as judges; they will invite his adversary to select two others, and the four sill The case will be tried on ifs merits by the five. If one of the parties refuses to appoint jurors the other may nominate four instead of to. The decision of the jury will be final, and in no case will it involve or cous tenance in any way a duel between the parties.—Tablet.
