The dispute waxed fast and furious.
The outsiders began to take part in
it, and there is no telling how it
would have ended, had not an explo-
sion, followed by heavy fall and a
scream of pain, been heard in IN ad-
joining room.
The crowd rushed to the scene of
the new attraction
The door was fast. It was soon
burst open and the mystery explain
ed. The thief, who had carried off
the Captains valise by mistake for
his own, had taken it up to his room
and opened it, to gloat over the
booty he supposed it to contain,
thrusting his hands in after the
spoons. In doing SO, the pistol
had gone off. the bullet making q
round hole through the side of the
valise, and corresponding hole i'll
the calf of his leg.
The wounded rascal was taken in
charge, first by the policeman, and
then by the Doctor; and the duellists
and the wedding pair struck up
friendship on the score of their
mutual mishap, which eliminated in
supper, where the fun was abund-
ant, and where it would be hard to
say which was in the best spirits
the Captain for recovering his pistols,
the bride for getting her night-cap,
the bridegroom for escaping the sta
ton house, or the duellists for escap-
ing each other. All resolved to
''mark that day with white stone,"
and henceforth to mark their names
on their black travelling bags in
white letters.

hereafter determined upon, Weekly
Paper, with the above style and title.
The general object of tho publication
will be the maintenance of the Christian
Scriptures as the standard Of right, in all
questions which involve morality, whether
these questions appertain to man indiyi-
dually or collectively, and whether arising
from his relation to God or his neighbor.
EnJolnlng conscientious obedience to all
the ordinances of civil government not in
conflict with the law Of God, the CHRIS
TIAN NEIGHBOR will be an uneouiyocal
advocate of Christianity as opposed to war.
While neither politics nor other inconge-
NAL matter shall in al. wise alloy; yet the
principles of Christianity will be applied
to all matters, 80 far as they involve moral
principle. Politics shall be excluded from
religion, yet the former shall not be ex-
empt from tho application of the latter.
Identified with the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, whose authority under God
ls paramount with me, AID holding the
principles announced, the NEIGHBOR is
offered as medium of advocacy of all the
interests of Christianity in that branch of
the Church, and also as an agency for en-
larglng and Establishing in other churches.

THE TRAVELLING BAGS
CONCLUDED.

Finally, it was formally agreed be-
tween the contending parties that a
statement would be drawn up in
writing, whereby principal No. ten
dered the assurance that the offensive
words, "You are q liar" were not
used by him in any personal sense,
but solely as au abstract proposition,
In general way, in regard to the
matter of fact under dispute. To
which principal No. 2 appended his
statement of his high gratlfcationHat
this candid and honorable explana-
tion, and unqualifiedly withdrew the
offensive words, "You are scoun-
drel," they having been used by him
under misapprehension of the in
tent and purpose of the remark which
Ind preceded them.
There being no longer cause for
quarrel, the duel was, of course, end
ed. The principals shook hands,
first with each other, next with the
seconds, and we're evidently very glad
to get out of it.
'.And now that it is so happily set
tied" said the Doctor, chuckling and
rubbing his hands, sit proves to
have been lucky mistake, after all,
that we brought the wrong valise.
Wonder what the lady who owns it
will say, when she opens ours and
finds the pistols?"
every well for you to laugh about, "
!, growled the Captain, "but it's no
joke for me to lose my pistols. Hair
triggers-best English make, and
gold mounted. There amt q finer
pair OF shooters in America"
ooh, we will find them. We will
go on a pilgrimage from house to
house, asking if any lady there has
lost night-cap and found a pair of
duelling pistols"
In very good spirits the party
crossed the river, and inquired at the
baggage-room in reference to each
and all black leather travelling bags
that arrived that day-took notes of
where they were sent, and set out
to follow them up. In due time, they
reached the Continental, and, as luck
wonld have it, met the unhappy
bridal pair just coming down stairs
IN charge of the policeman.
whats the meaning of all this?"
inquired the Captain.
.'Oh, couple of burglars, caught
with valise of stolen property"
ga valise-what kind of valise? p"
ga black leather valise. That is it,
there"
"Here-stop-halloo, policeman,
landlord It's all right! You are ali
wrong! That is my valse. It's all a
mistake. They got changed at the
depot. That lady and gentlemen are
liAnocert. Here is their valise, with
her night-cap in it"
Great was the laughter, multifa-
rioAs the comments. aud deep the in
tereAt of the crowd in all this dia-
logue, which they appeared to regard
as delightful entertainment, got up
expressly for their amusement.
''Then you say this here thing is
yours?" said the policeman, relaxing
his hold upon the bridegroom, and
confronting the Captain.
eyes, it is mine"
"And how did you come by these
spoons?"
Spoons, you jackanapesp said
the Captain; "duelling pistols"
'Do you call these pistols?" said
the policeman, holding up to view
one OF tile silver spoons, marked Il. B
The Captain, astonished, gasped,

all"

An Innocent Man Convicted and Hung.

An Innocent Man Convicted and Hung.
In a recent trial of murder case at At
lanta, Georgia, in which the evidence was
circumstantial one of the counsel for the de-
fence told the following story of trial
which took place in the same court thirty
years ago:
There then lived on the Bayou road a man
about twenty-five OF thirty years old. He
was not an educated nor a wealthy man, but
lie was honest and had a good heart. Hav-
ing had a limb broken, he was infrm in
health He made his livelihood by going to
the bayou st. John every evening and catch
ING fish to sell in market the next morning.
One moonlight evening, while sitting on the
bank of the bayou, fishing, as usual, he saw
q lady dressed in white, in company with q
gentleman, walking on the road beside the
bayou. They were quarrelling as they pass
ed him, and his attention was attracted by
hearing them quarrel. After they passed ne
resumed his fishing, and waited until he
had caught his usual supply. He then start
ed home with his basket. As he reached
the place known as the Caquet, he heard a
loud cry, and soon after a feeble cry. Adj
vancing in the direction of the sound, he
saw a woman in white gown lying on the
pavement, and, coming to the woman, he
perceived that a dagger had been stabbed
into her bosom. Thinking to relieve her, he
took the dagger by the handle and drew 1t
out. As he did so Waterman grasped him.
The woman was killed. The poor fisherman
was tried for the murder The case was
made out clearly against him. He had been
detected in the very act, bending over the
body of the deceased with the weapon in his
hand He was convicted, and hung at Con-
go square. About six months after, trial
was going on in Judge Canonge's court
A citizen called as juror, said he did not
wish to be on the jury, and wished to speak
few words to the judge. The judge al
lowed him private conversation. suppos-

small dog which followed him in the street
and took the animal to his home. Mr. Gal
lagher undertook to open the jaws Of the
dog to ascertain his age, when he was bitten
in the thumb. Nothing more was thought
of the matter, and he continued at his work
until Friday evening last, when symptoms
of hydrophobia appeared. Medical aid was
summoned, but it was without avail. The
paroxysms became very severe, and the suf-
ferer had to be tied to his bed. He died in
great agony.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-The Washington
Union states that on Thursday, the funeral
of young man named Collinworth took
place in that city. After the ceremonies the
horses refused to draw the hcarse. The
horses were as good as any in the city, be-
longing to undertaken Holt. The corpse
was then removed from the hearse and other
horses procured, but with the same result
The corpse was again removed, and the
horses, without one word from the driver
started oil. The corpse was then conveyed
to the burial ground by six pall-bearers.-
This is certainly one of the most remarkable
cases that we have ever heard of, and tc
solve it we are quite unable.

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WALIHAlM, MASSA CHUSETTS,

AMERICAN WATCH
Made at KALTHAM, lMASSA CHUSETTS,
IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself
famous for its novelty well as for its effective
messy and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should be-ACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres'' slepincs'' and English Patent Lee
vers,' are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make q
thoroughly gooa low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi-
tons; the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaeable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
understood from the fact that many years of
public Trial. we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no Others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partmcnt of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, We are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of our business, and have filled it with the
best wOrkmcn in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only used, and we challenge compari-
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported thermometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
dicciOn that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran-
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts of the world.
CAUTION-The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.
