CHAPTER XVI.
A CONNECTION IN THE HOUSE OF Mr.. GAS
TONE, AND ELSEWHERE.

CONNECTION IN THE HOUSE OF Mr.. GAS
TONE, AND ELSEWHERE.
At eleven on the night of his wife's de.
parture, Mr.. G.. returned in bad hr.
NOR from the city, having been decoyed
and detained thither by false notice.
Catherine was waiting with much
alarm, which was increased by her own
illness that day, for the return of Emily
from her supposed visit to her sick friend.
She had that morning met DR.. Boyd in
her walk, and having now some idea Ct
the extent of his villainy, she became
greatly distressed, and blamed herself
much for permitting her to 60 without
accompanying her. MIR. Gastone sooth-
ed the distressed woman as well as his
own rufled feelings would permit, and
fastened to the parlor to communicate
their troubles to his wife.
She was not there-what could it mean?
A sudden presentiment of coming evil
seized him. He hastily opened the doors
into every apartment. calling Bella, in
loud, earnest tones. At last he rushed
down to Catherine, and with counte-
nance from which she shrunk, so terri
BILE was its expression, and with a forced
and terrific cslmness inquired for Mrs.
Gastone. Catherine had seen her enter
the children's apartment at six o'clock /;
since then, she knew nothing of her,
"Has any one been here tonight % he
asked in the same voice. She had seen
no one. Together they searched the
house and gardens she was no where to
be found.
Wheel q certainty of her second elope-
ment fixed itself beyond a doubt, in the
mind of Mr.. Gastone, be sank into 9
death-like stupor. Not muscle of his
pale and rigid eountenance moved; he
stood with folded arms and dropping
head, the image Of mute despair.
He did not doubt with whom she had
gone, and that ell his kindness and for
giving love had been in vain, produced
in him an overwhelming agony too pow
erful for words. An hour afterwards he
was aroused by the return Of Emily,
trembling and frightened, accompanied
by Bernard. scarcely able to stand, and
who begged to be allowed a bed till he
should be able to communicate to Mr..
Gastone and Catherine what he wished.
Fancying the arrival of Bernard to have
some connection with the departure
Of his wife, he ordered him bed and
all necessary means for his immediate re-
covery.
The prostration sccruing from long
abstinence from food, and from bruised
and wounded body, together with the
faintness and languor which always fol-
low stupor produced by opium. con-
fined him to the bed q few days. Mean.
while be had given Mr.. Gastone the most
detailed accounts of Boyd. and stated the
determination which had bean expressed
by him to use all possible means to again
separate her from her husband. He
has succeeded and shall endure the pen
atty" calculated the injured man with
an energy that startled Bernard from his
pillow, and continued to pace the floor
with wild and raped steps. n

VERT AcCoMNoDATIsG.-A the lowe

danger of being exhausted by Southern
organs and orators in expressing theil
opinions of Douglas. There are many
very accommodating people at the South
however, who. after thus freeing theil
mind, are willing to work and vote very
industriously for the man they thus Willy
should he be nominated. Here is an IL
lustration

Potter AND PRYoR.-There will be M
fight. The affair between the two bellig
erent Congressman whose names heaC
this paragraph, which has exercised thu
telegraph far more than it has the feel
ings of the public, has terminated in &
peaceful victory for Potter. 1t had eoms
to be rather necessary that some North.
ern member should lay aside his scruplei
and accept challenge. Potter was 6
plucky fellow, Pryor was q noted FIRE.
eater and duelist, and this seemed to be a
favorable opportunity for a change Of
programme. Potter selected for his
''frisnd" the well known Col. Lander, oil
wagonroad fame, and the two together
have succeeded in getting Mr.. Pryor into
a close corner. Pryor sends his chal-
lenge. Potter accepts, and selects Bow
ie-kniyes as the weapons. We must not
construe this ferocious selection as blood
thirsty or inhuman. Pryor understands
the use of the arms" musket, pistol, RI
ie, broad and small sword. Potter is
neophyte in gunnery. A decent duel
should place both parties on an equality.
If it is SO much point of honor that the
sun should not shine in the face of either
party, and that the pistols should be pre-
cisely alike then is it much more essen
tial that each of the antagonists should
know how to use the neat little weapon
he carries. Mr.. Potter, therefore, rea-
sonsd correctly and acted like a sensible
man in choosing the bowie-knife. 1t is
a very Democratic institution, the bow
lie. 1t has no aristocracy about it, and
there can be no privileged class in its
handling. 1t was Just about an even
thing whether Mr.. Pryor should rip up
the abdomen of Mr.. Potter, or Mr.. Pot
ter perform the Cessrian operation on
Mr.. Pryor. All men are free and equal
in the use of the bowie-knife, and it is,
moreover, a purely American weapon !;
although it must be confessed that it lacks
the neatness of the pistol, which lets
mans soul out through small and gen
tlemsnly ori6ce.
We agree with Mr.. Potter that the
objection made by Pryor that the Bowie
is an inhuman and barbsrous weapon,
has no force in the premises. 1t is no
more SO than the duellO itself, which can
hardly be considered as calculated to de-
light the more refined and tender sensibil-
tiles. Mr. Potter was entirely right in
his choice, and Mr.. Pryor, having taken
the initiative, was bound to accept the
consequences. He is now in the position
of back -down. He leaves the field OF
honor because the fight is likely to be too
bloody and uncomfortable. Like Mer-
QUITO, he does not fancy the method Of
exit, and we can imagine him looking at
some ghasrly rip in his neat little body,
and adopting the words Of his Shakspesr-
ian prototype:

THR PlWER OF PASSION.

The late Legislature Of Mississippi
raised the taxes to seventy-five cents on
each negro, instead of forty as heretoforss
and to 20 cents on each 500 worth Of
land instead of 16 cts.-thus doubling
the tax on slaves, and increasing that on
lands twenty five per cent. As there are
400, 900 slaves in the State. it will ins
crease the taxes on that property alone
about $4,000, on the lands about
$50, 900 per year so that. after this year,
the gross revenue will be about S200, 600
more than it has been for past years from
these two items.

The reasons why General Joe Lanes
friends are pushing him so prominently
forward as Presidential candidate are
thus stated by the Washington cores
pondent of the New Yerk Leader:
"Ths anxiety to have Gen. Lane cleo
ted does not by any means arise from po-
litical sympathy with his views. The
clique in question are largely interested
in the Oregon war debt, which has been
brought up BY parties friendly to them at
ten cents on the dollar. Now, as the al
legged debt amounts to more than six mil
lion of doIlars, and Is Gen. Lane, if cleo
ted President, would of course favor its
payment, We have here an inducement Of
very solid proportions for the support oil
that candidate, and the expenditure Of a
large sum Of money to secure his nomin-
alton. In other words, should General
Lane be elected, these spectators would
receive six millions Of dollars for debt
bought up for six hundred Thousand"
