PARISIAN SENSATIONS.

• A sensational incident occurred in the ; Paris Law Courts; when a man of about thirty suddenly appeared in the corridors stark naked and yelling inarticulately. Ho was arrested and conveyed to an infirmary, his nakedness being covered by a barrister & gown borrowed from the robing room. It is evident he is a lunatic. He apparently undressed on one of the numerous staircases. Two Paris journalist's, MM. Alphonse Beauvais and Lucien Dellys, found out a duel with rapiers at Vincennes. In a thick fog the two liatless combatants, minus their waistcoats, parried and thrust at one another with f rieuzied vigor. During the second bout some very pretty scientific fencing was witnessed. M. Dellys was exceptionally quick and more subtle thau his opponent, but M. Beauvais drew first blood, a long scratch on M. Dellys' arm showing where his adversary's sword had touched him. He refused to abandon the contest. During three more rounds the spectators watched the swordsmen, who looked like gJiosts in the fog, and feared every moment that one of them would be transfixed. In the sixth bout M. Beauvais received a wound in the right forearm, which placed him in an inferior position, and the combat was declared at an end.
