DUEL IN PARIS.
Paris, Wednesday. — M. Julis Hunret, a well-known Paris journalist, and M. Catulle Mendes, a litterateur of distinction, fought a duel this afternoon. Swords were used, and the challenger, M. Mendes, was slightly wounded in one hand. The meeting was due to what may be termed the free use of French journalistic vitriol by M. Huret in the "Figaro," and supersensitiveness on the part of M. Mendes, who was referred to as having been an intimate friend of Oscar Wilde, M. Huret's avowal that he simply intended an allusion to the literary association of the two men proved unavailing.
