A Weapon that has Seen serYice.

The recent difficulty between Col. Ma
jor, Of the Frankfort Ycoman, and Mr..
Green, Of the Commonwealth, has
brought to notice again two weapons
which. according to the code, may be
considered classic. We alluds to the
celebrated instruments known respectively
as the /" Clay" and "Burr" pistols
Although it was finally decided to use
Kentucky rifles, pistols were not forgot
ten in the arrangement, and each party,
we learn. tested his skill at eight, twelve.
and fifteen PAGES. Col. Major used the
"Clay pistol" with the history of which
almost every one is familiar. Mr..
Green had the celebrated Burr pistol |"
at his disposal. We do not care to de-
scribe them, bat suggest that they would
form material for series of views in
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Paper. The
weapons are very similar to each other,
and are suggestive of q chilly sensation
in the region of the spine. They carry
balls comparable, in point of size, to the
ordinary English walnut, and would let
as large a ray of daylight through hu-
mainly as the most cold FLOODED duelist
could desire. The Burr pistol" is the
same weapon with which Aaron Barr
killed Alexander Hamilton in 1909
The pistol was transferred by Mr.. Burr
to his second, who presented it to amen
Der of the Marshall family, of Virginia.
1t was used by Hon. Thomas F. Mar
shall, in his duel with James Watson
Webb--AIr. Webb having served term
in the peniteutiAry all for the honor of
being shot by so classical weapon
The last human blood drawn by it was
on the occasion Of the duel between Hon.
E. G. Marshall and Hon. j. w. Nc
Dougle, when the latter was winged 1"
by his antagonist. 1t was perhaps some
what in remembrance of the successful
career of this weapon, added to his own
" desd-shot propensity at ninety yards,
that Col Major expressed a preference
for rifles at a distance prescribed by the
code of honor and Kentucky usage

Wars INA NAME?-The fair juliet,
we think, would never have asked this
question if her Romeo had for his sur
name, instead of Capulet, that append
ed to many Of our prominent men. The
nomenclature Of America is, in some in
stances, unparalleled in its abSurdity.-
Dickens has been accused of exaggeFs-
ton in giviVing to bis characters such
ludicrous names as Noggs. Snagsbyi
Flobbins, &C.; but. in this country we
meet every day with names quito as pre-
posterous. In Virgins at the present
moment the most prominent political
men are Bolts and Goggin, and We haze
before Us a newspaper announcing in
glowing capitals the arrival at Elkhorn
Of Judge Noggles. We also learn that
the President has appointed to the Con-
sulate of Antwerp gentleman rejoicing
in the name Of Quiggie, and our readers
will all remember late political cam
pai1n in this State. in which the magic
appelIstion of Gustavus .Adolphus
Scroggs WAS .gloriously prominent. OF
course the private and public lives OF
these individuals may be radiant with
every virtue, but one cannot restrain a
passing smile at the mention of their
names. The Goggins, Bolts, Scroggs.

Old Brown was evidently a mailman
Some years ago he visited New York
and. we are informed, Swallowed forth
with careful secresy. to a few persons, 6
plan of running off slaves from the near
plantations to the Allegany Mountains
where they might form earthwork for de-
Tense. and subteranean log forts. as points
d appai from which to carry on further
operations. He was not successful in
getting a single person to approve his
project. He impressed those to whom
he addressed himself as visionary man,
whose brain had become morbidly affect
ed by his suferings and achievements in
Kansas, and no one ever believed that
he would attempt the mad schemes he
was brooding over. But it is now GER
tain that he has contemplated them for
two years or more.
There are two considerations proper to
be expressed in connection with this IN
fortunate affair, viz: That it has Just the
degree of importance that attaches to a
riot instigated by mailman who could
persuade only twenty other madmen to
Join him; this is the full extent of con-
sequence to which it is entitled. The
other consideration is, that slave insur-
rection is not among the things that can
ever obtain any countenance with the
people of the Northern States. 1t would
seem absurd to advance this second sug-
gestion, but for the fact that there are
men in the South as mad on the fancy
of Northern aggression, as ever Brown
was on that of slave liberation. OF the
possibility of insurrection at any time,

know more and better than ourselves
