TRANSATLANTIC JOTTINGS.
A duel arising out of the Oscar Wilde case took place in Paris lately. M. Jules Huret of the Fiargo in his literary news mentioned the names of the literary men whom Wilde met in Pars, among them Catulle Mendes. The paragraph was an innocent one, and left no room for any suggestion that M. Mendes had any acquaintance with Wilde other than as a foreign man of letters. He complained, however, at bringing his name in connection with Wilde's, and the Figaro expressed its regrets, leaving no ground for offence. M. Mendes replied by an insulting letter which left M. Huret no choice but to fight, and in the duel M. Mendes was wounded.
