Tlie Cologne Gazette states that owing to England's protost against obedience of orders from Berlin, Abdul Khaled was protected by 'marines and artillery. The English newspapers condemn such a needlessly provoking display, and question the territorial rights of foreign Consulates.

A Feminine Duel.

An extraordinary yet withal amusing episode is reported from Paris, the scene being laid m the establishment of a fashion able dressmaker/ A dispute arose owing to the charges made by the dressmaker for certain alterations to the dress of a society lady, Mdme X. The former refused to lower the price, and then ensued what Frenchmen euphemistically term a " lively discussion." The ladies' vocabularies being soon exhausted, they proceeded to reinforce them by " voies de fait." The dressmaker first attacked Mdme. de X., tearing off samples of her dress and scraps of the skin of her face with her long and tapering nails. *j 1 hen the French Lady Vere de Vere seized a tureen full of home-made jam, and violently placed it as a new-fashioned bonnet bf&he doomed head of her fair but furious adversary. The incident put an end to the scene, for the soft, sugary headgear— rthe sweetest thing m hats that has been seen for many a long year— nearly suffocated the lady fit the scissors, whose long last cry was for help. The neighbors, horri fied at the turn events had taken, sent for the police, who, on entering the house, discovered the unfortunate coutttriere. lying on the ground wildly struggling to extricate her head from the tureen. " What's the matter ? " inquired one of the guardians of the peace. , " I have been murdered, foully murdered," replied a lugubrious voice, which seemed to come from the uttermost depths of the earth. "My skull has been caved m, and there are my brains j scattered all over my dress ; send for a j doctor, quick." The policeman attempted to relieve 'the lady's head of its unusual covering. But he might as well have tried to remove Mont Blanc ; it could not be done. The sergent de ville now gently twisted the porcelain vessel one way and now ruthlessly wrenched it another, but, to his horror, it seemed permanently fixed by the sticky jam. Then he raised the dress maker's head, and, with the hilt of his sabre, deftly dealt the vessel a blow, where- 1 upon it fell to pieces on the ground. Then the exhausted ladies, like featherless hens, were escorted to the police station,' Mdme. de X arrayed m a toilette which floated m a hundred jagged slips m the faof C snmmer breeze, and the dressmakers matted hair attracted legions of flies and wasps, to say nothing of the curious public, who thought it was a question of some new hair dye which had proved a miserable failure. In a few days the next act of this fashionable little drama will be played m public before a magistrate. — Pall Mall Gazette.
