ing the entire line. As an illustration OF
the popularity Of Meggs our informant re-
lates the following
Meiggs obtained contract for building an
iron bridge. By pushing this work forward,
he succeeded in having the bridge completed
two months before the time allowed by the
contract. and in acknowledgment Of this
service the Government made him a present

When the guests went away he began 70
consider grimly with himself what course he
should adopt That night he appears to
have ssid or done nothing, but the early
part Of the next day was spent in careful
investigation OF the facts. When be had
acquired reasonable degree Of certainty
Mr. Sickles taxed bis wife with her guilt.
She screamed out that she was betrayed
and lost" but at length admitted the truth
Of the accusation. so far oil was clear !;
tho question was how this grieyous injury
should be avenged The account We have
received from Washington states that in the
course Of that afternoon, while Mr.. SickIes
WAS considering with himself what ough. to
be done, and was sitting at bis window, he
saw Mr. Key approaching his house, and
making the appointed signal TO the lady
whom he had brought to this terrible grief.
Unable TO master his emotion tho husband
seized upon what weapons were near. These
constituted complete arsenal Of armory-
we question II many English gentlemen
could, In moment Of Indignation, suddenly
stretch out their hands a. Mr.. Sickles did,
and find ready two single e-barreled pistols
and q revolver. Having placed these wea-
pons In his pockets, he sailed forth, and as
Mr.. Key was extending his hand for
friendly grasp, Mr.. SickIes exclaimed !:
"Now, villain, you must die p and fired the
first pistol at his enemy, but without effect.
Mr.. Key hurled an opera.gla in his face,
and q death grappie commenced the one
man trying TO master the Others arm, the
other endeayoring to discharge his second
pistol. Mr. Sickles prevailed, and with his
second shot brought his enemy to the
ground. SO maddened with passion, how.
over. was be, that even when he had killed
Mr.. Key, he discharged barrel Of his re.
volyer into the dead mans head, and with
al oath rendered himself up to the officers Of
justice. Such are the leading facts OF this
miserable story, which we record with un-
feigned sorrow, and which we are sure will
be read with much commiseration by oil
persons in England who had any knowledge
Of the actors In the tragedy.

There s now confined 10 the jsil at Gin.
cinnati al old man, named Kain, charged
with murder. More than two years ago be
killed young man named Sing gleton, who
had setuced one Of his two motherless
daughters. lie was tried and coodemped,
and after long series Of legal proceedings,
the conviction was set aside and new trial
ordered. During the entire interval be has
been 10 prison. In the meantime, however,
the daughter, in revenge or punishment Of
whose wrongs he had committed the homi.
eide, being without home, parents or friends,
descended with regular steps the pathway
10 shame and crime. Her younger sister
also became an Outcast, and few months
ago both were arrested upon charge OF
larceny. For three months the father and
daughters have been in adjoining cells, but
during that time, and indeed not since be
killed the seducer Of the elder, has he spoken
to them. A few days ago the counsel for
Kahn succeeded in producing reconcilia-
ton between the parent and his children,
and the scene that took place is described
by the Enquirer
by the Kindness Of the jailer the daugh.
ters were allowed TO visit their father in his
cell, when most affecting interview took
place; the girls falling on his neck and
weeping like children, while from the eyes
OF the stern, strong man, who had slain the
vile destroyer Of his cbid's honor, and had
known her TO fall step by step to degrada-
ton and despair, the great tears ran like
rain--tbe agony Of heart wrung by aillic-
tion and agonized by terrible suffering to
womans tenderness.
For some minutes no one Of that trio
spoke. Sos chOked their uttcrance, and
the memory Of the fearful past awed them
into silence. Their sorrow melted them 10
sympathy, and love and grief, remorse md
repentance filled their hearts to bursting. In
that moment they were purified f; in that
hour their errors were blotted out by the
tears Of deepest contrition, and atonement
made to nature and themselves.
At last one Of the girls, the dishonored
and avenged, fell at her fathers feet, and
said, with still streaming eyes
40, father, dearest father, can you for.
give met"
YES, yes. my child, with all my heart"
was the solemn aud impressive answer, "as
hope to be forgiven
Then both his daughters knelt and re-
ccived his blessing, and moment after he
was 10y their side, offering up a prayer Tor
strength to resist temptation and avoid evil
in the future. The father embraced them
tenderly again and again, and assured them
OF his entire forgiveness, while they promised
amendment and reform, and resolved to seek
comfort and support in the faith their pa.
rent recently had sought.
The scene As witnessed was extremely
pathetic, and such Al our plain pencil cannot
paint. Several who witnessed the reconcl.
iation were, in spite Of themselves melted to
tears, and left the cell with better opinion
OF that human nature which, however it
may err, is always held by golden though
invisible thread TO its native Heaven.

The Skunk Skin Traffic. :.

The odor OF the skunk possesses dstinc-
tive property which cannot be mistaken by
any whose seuse OF smell is at all discrimns::
tive. During the past few months, these
who have perambulated our down town
business streets. have repeatedly had their
Olfactories greeted by this unmistakable per-
iume, and, wondering whence it originated,
have at last traced 1t 10 the warehouses of
our turriers. A few inquiries might have
explained the cause OF this new accession to
the two-and.seventy stenches of the metrop-
oils. The traffic in skunk skins has sudden.
ly become most important branch Of the

three years ago were deemed Of no value

where they are sold u, largt profit, as the
fur OF the genuine fisher. The black
skins are valued the most, and during the
past Winter the market price has been as
high as 81 per ska. while notified skins
brought only 20 cents. These prices, how
ever, have recently deprecated cobsidera-
bly,, on account Of the imm.bse expectation.
Upward OF 80 900 Of these skins bave been
shipped from this city alone within the past
two months, and one firm in Maiden Lane

shipment These are designed for the Lsip-
