Poitiers is ive!l known to the antiquary

liut University only a vault, supposed

mained. This cage, from the solidity of

not so j for when I last visited Poitiers,
and asked for the key! of the cavern,' I
found it no longer existed, and. that on
the bite had been constructed the inn of
the Trois Perelins.'
It is a stone's throw from the Salles d'
Annes, a place with which J have been
better acquainted than with 4he schools.
To revive my ancient recollections I en
tejtd the salle, and found there an inha
bitant of the town whom I had known at
college. He proposed that we s!nuld

H'Vc as it afforded, he related to me what
a few days before, in the very room where
ve were sitting, had happened at a dinner
of the collegians. It was ordered for 12,
fiat one of fli.e party paving invited a
friend, the number swelled to thirteen.
It is said that superstition supplies the
place of religion. I have observed this
to be the case with the most sceptical of
my acquaintance ; and thus this number,
thirteen, occasioned-some remarks, and
the stranger was looked upon with no ve
rj favorable eye, and considered as a su
pernumerary who brought with htm ill
luck. One of the set at length summoned re
solution enough to say,
I do not dine thirteen.'
' Nor I, ' said another. .
VNorl,'juas repeated on all sides.
The guest, embarrassed at this rude
ness, got up and was about to retire, when
Alfonse, to whom he came as an umbraf
proposed an ingenious expedient for do
ing away with the evil augury, and said,
'there is one way of annulling the

The windows were opened. ! As soon as
the soup was served smash; went all the

the dinner, every plate as fast as it was
cleared, every bottle us soon as emptied,
followed Iheir fellows, j One might per
ceive by the practised qexferity of this
feat that it was not the first time they
hacl played the same game.
During the first course nothing parti
cular occurred to disturb Ih-eir harmony $
but it so happened that the roti, which is,
as you Tctiow, in France always served

neral burst of indignation.

to the waiters. .)

was the universal cry but the chief was
not forthcoming. ;
"Altoise, the President, then -said,
Must I go myself and fetch him ?'
This menace had its ijU'ecl; pauvrc chef,
pale as death, and allcpt ton cap in hand,
crawled into the room. He was greeted
with deafening shouts. ' -

The man of the spit stammered out an

hisses and bursts of laughter.

and a
person who, lost in the world of Paris,
where he is unknown, might hesitate
about demanding satisfation for an insult
however gross, would, in that atmosphere,
any day, or hour of the day, call a man
out for merely looking at him.
The pool was begun. Never did a par
ty, when a large sum of money depended
on the issue of the game, play with more
care and caution than those thirteen, to
decide which of them was to fight. By
degrees the players lost their three lives,
and the number was at last' reduced to
two ; these two were the stranger guest
and Alfonse. The lookers-on watched
anxiously every stroke. Those balls,
that, as they rolled, carried with them
the fate of a man, were followed with
earnest looks. The officers came nearer
and ranged themselves round the billiard.
They were not a little interested to know
whether they, or rather one of them,
(which they knew not,) was to enter the
list with a treshtnan, no doubt unpractised
in fencing, or with the most adroit and
and terrible duellist of the University.
The chances were against them. The
stranger lost.
A singular excitement was occasioned
by the disappearance of the last ball in
the pocket. Some faces grew pale; but
no one stirred from the spot where he had
been standing as a spectator. Alfonse
looked steadily round him, and made
two or three times the circut of the room,
is though he were in search, but in vain,
of some one worth quarrelling with. At
last he perceived a sort of sub-lieutenant
originally drum-major and maitre (Pannes
and who boasted of having killed his
thirty pequius, setting quietly in a corner.
Alfonse walked straight up to him, and
saluting him with a politeness that clic
trified the company said, in his cool way.
'Monsieur, 1 am exceedingly distress
ed at the situation in which I find myself
placed; but my honor is concerned, and
you will allow ine to engage yours.
Without further preliminaries, he gave
him a severe hit in the face.

upraised in the air, and the two combat

A fierrible silence reigned through the
room, and for some seconds it Was only
broken by the clashing of the steel; for
both parties, as they skirmished, were
well aware that a single faux pas was
death. The slightest stepping back,
shrinking of the body, or leaping on one
side, Iniust inevitably prove lataJ.
The officer was a lirad and shoul.der
taller than Alfonse, and looked as though
he could crush him; but he little, heeded
this advantage, ifl advantage it was, for
he by degrees lowered his body till he
was right under the sword of his foe, and
almost bent himself down upon the bed
of the table. No other change in his at
titude then took place.
All at once, the officer, taking his pos
ture Tor the effect of fear, made a furious
lunge, which was parried with the great
est sang froid and skill, and Alfonse al
lowed the officer to return to his ground,
without attempting to return. His ad
versary was deceived by this sort of tim
id defenbe,and, becoming moreadventur
ous, attacked him again with encreased
fury so much so, that, thrown off his
guard, his left foot quitted the cushion
of the table, against which it had been
fixed. Then it was that Alfonse made
a rapid lunge at the officer's face. He
endevored to regain (lie ground he had
lost to resume his position. The student
would not give him time, and charged
witll itnpe uosiiy his disconcerted enemy,
who could only avoid his thrusts by keep
ing his body bent backwards. Alfonse
forced him to the edge of of the table,
when his foot tripped, and at that mo
merit drovethe sword up to the hilt in
his heart.
Ine unhappy officer cried outHit!

leight, and fell backwards from the ton
of the table to the floor.
Awful was the sound that the weight
of that body made upon the boards of the
room! There was mixed up with it a
celling a dread lest the dad man should
lurt himself in falling. Never did I see.

thinking that the object was, as usual,
to decide who should pay for the dinner,
or the demi tasse tt diasse, the players
did not seem inclined! to comply with this
requisition ; but when they learned that
a momentous affair, a duel, was on foot,
they hastened to lay down their cues. A
duel! every thing must yield to that

hoviever did not quit the room. The che
napans interchanged glances with each
other ; and one or two of the sub lieu
tenants, who had come to take their demi
tasse, before they went to the ball, also
remained. They had all more or less
formed a shrewd guess of what was to
happen j and for the honor of the service,,
wanted the quarrel to break out.
In our schools and garrisons at Paris,
we! are totally unacquainted with the es-
of sulphate of copper in nauseating dos
es, combined with gum ammoniac, given
so as to nauseate but not ordinarily to
produce full vomiting ; the usual dose for
this purpose is about half a grain, & five
grains of the respective ingredients, in a
spoonfull of water, to be takenat first
twice, and in the convalescent stages
once a day. -
In cases of chronic bronchitis a gargle
of the sulphate of copper alone is super
added. In this latter form of consump
tion this treatment almost invariably sus
pends the hectic symptoms in a few days,
and the disease rapidly advances to its
final cure
In cases of the more -proper forms of
consumption the treatment must be in
termitted frequently, and again returned
to j aid whenever soreness of the chest
or other symptoms of inflammatory acti
on, exist, the treatment should be sus
pended ; as it is in the chronic state a
lone that the remedy is indicated, or
useful that state in which the condition
of the general system as sympathetically
involved becomes the more prominent
symptom, and the success of the treat
ment depends chiefly On the breaking up
the sympathetic action of the diseased
lung, on the more healthy tone of the?
stomach, & increasing its digestive pow
ers, and likewise causing, during nause
ating action a more active and healthy
circulation of blood through the lungs--
Its curative powers are more immediate
ly attributable to these effects of its ac
tion. But theory apart, the treatment is
presented, based on more than ten years'
experience of its curative advantages, in
the proper treatment of diseases of muco
purulent and purulent expectoration.
Having left a profession that nearer
than any other, approaches the pure du

tion may be cured, but the assurance of

For the Commercial advertiser,
The late lamented death of Dr. Bushg,
from that form of consumption known
as chronic bronchitis, painfully reminds
tie of a duly tho subscriber owes to his
profession &to society, of making known
a! simple form of treatment that has never
failed him in curing this form of cousump
tion, so destructive to the clerical and
literary professions : this treatment is of
nearly equal efficacy in catarrhal phthisis
and is a valuable remedy for consumption
in all its forms when in us chronic stages,
and free from any inflammatory symp
toms. This treatment is based on the
pathology of consumption, as a
name lur disease.
Under the name ot consumption are
included that variety of diseases of the
lungs, attended with expectoration o
nuru ent matter from the breathing sur
face of the lungs, connected with ema
ciation, hectic fever and its concomitants,
night sweats, colliquative diarrhoea, &c.
All the forms of consumption act on the
general health from one common cause
presence or mailer acting upon aosoiomg
surfaces, & thus producing! those symp
toms known as hectic fever. It is the
presence and vio'ence of this symptom
of consumption that prostrates the pati
ent, until it more or less slowly ends in
death. It is-the consequence oi this hec
tic fever, and not the immediate disease
of the lungs causing it, that forms the
source of fatality from. consumption.
