The power that the will may exert in

thread. | would not ask a place in Your

confident belief that this phenomenon was
truly wonderful. This moving table be-

the individuals were engaged in the cxpc-

would frequently observe that they heard

to move, under the belief that it was cleo
tricity that moved it, when | could hear

Hugh, believing it to be the only chance.
permitted him to get under the bridge.
"Now, Pm ready" said Bill, poking his
gun over the bridge.
"One-two-three !" Bang went Bills
gun. "Oh Lord ~ screamed John.

mcrcd Bill.
ayes, you've killed him." replied
Hugh.
"Oh mercy on me what shall / dor
cried Bill, almost scared into fits.
"Come, let us go up and see him, said
Hugh, "perhaps he is only wounded"
Bill walked with trembling step up
to where John was stretched but one
sight was enough. The blood (red ink)
was streaming down his face, his eyes
stretched wide open, his tongue hanging
out, his hair torn in fact, he was hor-
rible sight. Bill gazed at him a moment
and then uttering a shrek, fell senseless
ut his side.
In short time, Bill had recovered suf-
ficiently to be taken home. He passed a
dreadful night-the spirit of John haunt
ed his bed all night. When morning came,
he started to see his friend, Hugh, to make
some arrangementsto to leave the State. He
cn9uircd if John had been buried, and IL
anybody had found it out. Hugh told
him that no person had found it out but
it was best for him to leave, as he would
be certain to be arrested if he did not. 1t
was some days before Bill discovered that
he had been "taken in, and when he was
assured Of the fact, he made himself very
scarce about the town, never having been
seen or heard of since.

The Moving Table.

MEssRs. EDITORs On late visit to
the North, was invited to witness this
phenomenon. Four persons stand around
light small table, one on each side, and
place their open right hand fiat, on the
table near one corner, and their left on the
right hand of the person to the left, placed
near the corner. After Is or 90 minutes
the table moves in circle, the persons
running around with it keeping the hands
in the same relative places. The wonder
is, what is the cause Of this motion. The
opinion Of many is, that electricity is i'm
parted from the hands Of the individuals,
and gives this motion-although, the table
may be IA non-conductor according to the
knowledge We now possess Of the nature
OF this fluid. | have said that was in
yited to witness this wonderful phenomc-
non, but | did not see the table move in
a circle, except when the persons pulled it
around with their hands. Their hands
were disposed in the best manner to bring
about that effect. account for the phe-
nomenoH, in this way: the hand has
disposition to return to the body, as the
muscles that extend the arm become ia
tigued, which takes place in short time
there is pulling Of the corner ofthe ta-
bic then towards the individual, as well
rs q downward pressure, and pulling
towards the right, as the right hand is up
on the table aud is on better surface for
pulling than that Of the left, and from its
temperature having caused vacuum, also
sticks TO the table. The right arm is more
over more commonly employed in pulling,
and 10 far as The will may operate in bring
ing about this phenomenon, would be the
first to pull, in which case the body is
drawn back on the right and moved for
ward on tho left, and causes the left hand
TO push, while tho right Is pulling-with
these forces thus applied to it, small light
table moves in circle.
To see the principle more clearly Of
force TINS applied, let q sheet Of paper
be caught in the same place between the
thumb and finger, by four individuals. l

A SHAM DUEL.
DY IKE wIGOISS.

~ few years ago, as Twas travelling in
the upper part of South Carolina, l hap
pened to arrive in the town of C
just at dark, and put up at one Of the Ho-
tells of the place for the night. After
dIspatching my supper and seeing that
my horse was attended to, took seat
in the hall, where n number of Young
men and boys were assembled, conycrs-
ing on subject that l considered very
serious. 1t appeared, from what could
gather that two persons had had diff
Guilty; that one challenged the other; the
other had accepted, and that nothing
short of meeting on the "feld of honor"
would satisfy them.
Having curiosity to know the cause
of so much excitement, enquired of a
good-natured looking gentlemen, whom
they called Hugh, and who appeared to
be the "head man," if lie could inform me
Of the particulars.
"Wait little whilc," said he, with a
wink, "and you can see for yourself"
Everybody in G-knows Hugh. lie
is always full Of fun, and ready to amuse
the way worn traveller, especially if he
takes n liking" to him. soon became
very familiar with him, and he related
the whole circumstance to me. ITe said
that there was fellow who lived in town,
by the name of Bill B, who took
delight in insulting everybody that
came in his way, and that he had been
at the hotel that evening and attacked
one of the bQarders whose name was John
Il. John is young man who loves
joke as well as anybody, and is as good
as the next one in playing them off. 1t
seems that Bill proposed to fight John,
which he refused, knowing the DISPOSE
ton Of Bill, and that it would amount to
nothing. Bill, not satisfied with that kind
ottreatmcnt, still insisted on fght'-John,
to get rid Of his tormentor, proposed
duel, which Bill accepted, and which was
to take place that night. lie also informed
me that he was to act as second to Bill,
and that another young man, whom he
called Port, was second to John. After
learning the particulars, concluded that
| would accompany them to the "feld Of
battle" and see the fun. also became
very familiar with John Il, the
"duellist" asked him if he thought
he could act his part without the joke
being detected. lie said he thonght he
could; which he did, as will be seen.
While Hugh and Port, the two seconds,
were consulting relative to the "order of
the day." Bill made his appearance. He
looked to be about twenty-one years Of
age; square-built; with one eye on the
ground and the other counting the stars;
coat buttoned up to the top, and his hands
crammed down into his pockets up to his
elbows, He was undoubtedly, from ap.
pearanco, one Of the "b'hoys."
"Well, Bill, said Hugh, shave you got
everything readyl"
-Ycs, I'm ready any time" said he.
After arranging the programmed the
crowd started for the "feld of battle."-
The procession marched on with an air of
deep solemnity, headed by the principals
and followed by the seconds and specta-
tors. All seemed to be deeply affected
withihe scene. The place for tho meet
