the arrest of a preacher named David Worth,
and adds
He was found guilty of the charges bro't
against him, namely, that of circulating in
cendiary documents, and using incendary
language in his sermons, and he was bound
over by the Court in bonds of So. 600 for his
appearance at the Superior Court in April
next, and of $4,000 more to keep the peace
and stop the course heretofore pursued by
him.

Not many years ago, two Frenchmen
one wealthy and il possession OF
ready cash, and the other poor and
penniless- occupied, by chance, the
same room in suburban hotel. III the
morning the seedy one arose first, took
from MS pocket q pistol, and holding it
to his own forehead, and backing him
self against the door, exclaimed to his
horritied companion:
ut is MY last desperate effort; / an
penniIess and tired OF life; give me FIVE
hundred francs, or will instantly blow
my brains, and you Will be arrested as
murderer
The other lodger found himself the
hero Of an unpleasant dilemma; but
the cogency Of bis companions argu-
ment struck him ''cold." He quietly
crept to his pantaloons, 1nd handed
over the amount; and the other vam-
oosed, after locking the door on the
outside.
Hearing Of this another Frenchman,
Of very savage aspect, one night tried
to room with Il tail, raw-boned gentle
man from Arkansas, who had been
rather free with his money during the
day, and evidently had plenty more be-
hind. Next morning "Pike," awaken
ING, discovered his roommate standing
over him, with pistol leveIed at his
own head, and evidently quaking with
agitation.
"W hat the deuce are you standin'
thar for in the cold ?" said Pike, prop
ing himself on his elbow and coolIy
surveying the Gaul.
Il am dcsperattr' was the reply;
''yon give me one hundred dollar, quick,
or | blow out mine braincs -
"W ell, then, blow and be darned !"
replied Pike, turning over.
'Bote You will be arrest for ze mur-
dairen' persisted the Gaul, earnestly.
''I1h, what's that % said Pike. ooh,
| see!' and suddenly drawing revol-
yer and q fve-pound bowie from under
his pillow, he sat upright. "a mar
may as we'll be hung for sheep as a
lamb" he coolly remarked ; and at the
word he started for the Gaul; but the
latter was nimble-the ''hoss pistol"
innocent Of lead, exploded in the air,
and with enc frantic leap our little
Frenchman was standing in bis night
robe at the foot Of the sta;rcase-a
proof that what may suit one latitude
Will not answer for another.
