A HISTORICAL DUEL. THIRTEEN SWORDSMEN SLAIN BY ONE MAN BEFORE AN ARMY. • Scene More BxcittuK Than Any Buttle In the Annnls of Modern History—Ten Thousand Witnesses to the Terrible Work ot One Sword. To give an idea of what a brave man ran do if he knows fencing thoroughly and but keeps cool and collected in danger we will relate a historical duel. So extraordinary is tins combat that it would be held a romance had it not been witnessed by a whole army. The hero is .lean Louis, one of the great masters of the beginning of last century. and the duel happened in Madrid in 1813. He was the at-arms of the Thirty-second regiment of French infantry. The First regiment, composed entirely of Italians, formed part of the same brigade. Regimental esprit de corps and rivalries of nationality caused constant quarrels, when swords were often whipped out or bullets exchanged. After a small battle bad occurred in the streets of Madrid, in which over 200 French amt Italian soldiers had taken part, the officers of the two regiments, in a council of war assembled, decided to give such breaches of order a great blow and to w establish discipline. They decreed that the masters-at-arms of the two regiments should take up the quarrel and tight it out. Imagine a whole army in battle array on one of the large plains that surround Madrid. In the center a large ring is left open for the contestants. This spot is raised above the plain so tliat not one of the spectators of this tragic seem l gayly dressed otlicers soldiers in lino. Spaniards, excited as never a bull fight excited them—will miss one phase of the contest. It is before 10.000 men that the honor of an army is about to be avenged in the blood of thirty brave men. The drum is heard. Two men. naked to the waist, step in the ring. The first is tall and strong. His black eyes roll disdainfully upon the gaping crowd. He is Giacomo Ferrari, the celebrated Italian. The second, tall, also handsome and with muscles like steel, stands modestly awaiting the word of command. His name is Jean lamis. The seconds take their places on either side of their principals. A deathlike silence ensues. "On guard!” The iwo masters cross swords. Giacomo Ferrari lunges repeatedly at Jean Louis. lint in vain. His every thrust is met by a parry. He makes up his mind to bide his cli.-inee and caresses and teases his opponent's blade. Jean Louis, calm and watchful, lends himself to (lie play. when, quicker Ilian lightning, tlie Italian jumps aside with a loud yell and makes a terrible hinge at Jean Louis, a Florentine trick, often successful. But with extraordinary rapidity Jean Louis has parried and ri«ix>sts quickly m the shoulder. “It is nothing,” cries Giacomo; "« mere scratch.” And they again fall on guard. Almost directly he is hit in the breast. This time the sword of Jean Lonis. who is now attacking, penetrates deeply. Giacomo's face becomes livid, his sword drops from his hand, and he falls heavily on the turf. He is dead. Jean Lotus is already in position. Ho wipes his reeking blade; then, with the point of bis sword on (lie ground, lie calmly await* the next man. The Is-st fencer of the First regiment has just been carried away a corpse, but the day is not yet over. Fourteen adversaries are there, impatient to measure swords with the conqueror, burning to avenge the master they had deemed invincible. Jean Louis hardly bad two minutes' rest. He is ready. A new adversary stands before him. A sinister click of swords is heard, a lunge, a parry, a rispost and then a cry. a sigh, and al) is over. A second body is before Jean Louis. A third adversary advances. They want Jean Louis to nsrt. "I niu not tired," he answers, with a smile. The signal is given. The Italian is as tall as the one who lies lliere a eorpse cuvert'd by a inilllarj’ efoak. He has closely watched Jean Lonis’ play and thinks ho has guessed the secret of his victories. Ho multiplies his feints ami tricks; then, al! at once, bounding like a liger 011 liis prey, he gives his opjwuent a terrible thrust in the lower line. But .lean Louis' sword has parried and is now deep within his opponent's breast. What need we to relite any more? 'fen now adversaries followed him. and the ten fell before Jean I • oi< amid the excited yells and roars of an army. \t the request of the Thlrt.y-so.uttd regiment's colonel, who thought the les son siuiideut Jean Louis after much presdng consented to stop the combat. I,nd he shook hands with the two survivors. applauded by lu.tjoo men. • From that day tights ceased 1« ween French and Italian soldiers This wonderful and gigantic combat might be held a fable were not all tlie facts above stated still found in the archives of the ministry of war Lip pincott’s.
