Certainly, where trivialities are concerned--a piqued vanity, or a desire for publicity--it may be deemed fally to risk one's lifa ; but there are, I repeat, cases in life where relief can alone be found in a system which, tolerated by the laws of the country, allows a man to astlafy a very natural desire for revenge in a manner perfectly loyal and fair. It is nonsense to say that the duel proves nothing, or a better shot than the honest man with whom that the biggest scoundrel, belag a better fencer he may fight, may under this system not only escape the punishment that he has merited but still further damage the man he has already lojared. It is well-known among duelists that success on the field of combat, especially where the man who has the most heart, and a scoundrel pitted against man he has wronged will always be in a state of inferiority. With pistols this is less true, but here again the man who is strong in his right will show a better presence than his opponent. There was more than superstition, there was a gimpse of psychological truth in the medieval Ides of testing the justice of cases by the duelle, Just as her slogan of "Got mit uca” bas never get betrayed Germany when fighting for a righteous cause.

The lenged party, the bows and pirouettes, the con- sultations of the seconds, with their extreme politeness and coolness, the anival on the terrain, the salate to the opposition, the rules of honour that guide it all, the saluta after the mumming, and I confess that I like it better than the vulgarities of the law courts where, similar disputes are rettled in England. --As-a general rule it is much preferable to be a princi- pal than a second.

In the event of other steamship Companies reducing their rates of freight, the Nippon Yusen Keisha has bound itself to grant the same reductions. The rates for China are likewise to be fixed at as per cent lower than the freights now charged. Under these circumstances, it appears that all the P. and O.
