Upon which it transpired that the doc
tor had, in fact, known nothing either OF
her name " engagement; but had haz-
ardcd name containing the same letters
as his own, feeling that in case it turned
out to be the correct one, he would lay
a strong claim to the possession OF her
hand. The little game at cross purposes
which had ensued, ending in solution
which answered the purpose equally well,
had banished his first guess from his mind.
Now, as the reader has long ago OWNED,
its appearance as the surname of our
friend Charlie at once established has right
to Mabel by the ruling of that very law
which had at first seemed 80 adverse to
their happiness.
And Dr. Pechsl, it is needless to remark,
was more than really to forego his claim
in one whom he already regarded with
ridiculous awe, for the sake OF her who,
lost through SO many years, he had long
ago given up as married and done for.
And thou art rewarded for thy constan.
cy, Christinchen," said the old hypocrite,
sententiously for, hadst thou been mar
ried, and our union impossible, SO, also,
would have been the preservation of our
lives" Charles eyes had quiet twinkle
in them; he was thinking what a constant
man the doctor had been lately.
THE law has been very lerient to all
of US, perforated the doctor; seldom do
all the members OF group possess the
qualifications for intermarriage, or the OPP
portunity to profit by the privilege if they
have it,"
"I'm afraid, doctor" said Charlie,
you'll never forgive those unfortunate
candles for depriving you Of the chance to
prove your theory correct; though even
yet, if you insist upon it, it is not too
late"
"No, nor said DR.. Pechal, rather
gruffly; latter all, there would be no sat
isfaction in it; for not one of you would
remain alive long enough to confess your
selves convinced"
And, as far as they are concerned, the
theory still lacks continuation Apple

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.-A most

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.-A most
street, Gold Hill, at 1870 Friday after
noon. James Murray, a miner in the
Yellow Jacket. killed Jebez Spencer,
an engineer of the Mariposd Mill, by
shooting him through the heart. The
murdered mans wife had become
estranged from and left him, as he
believed, through the seductive in
huences of Murray. We leave our
readers to imagine the feelings of a
man whose domestic happiness has
been destroyed, whose hopes have
been blasted, and whose life has been
rendered ~objectless and blank. Suffice
it. he did not entertain feelings the
o kindly toward the man whom
he doubtless believed to be the cause
of his humiliation and grief, and so
expressed himself to Murray a day or
two before the tragedy. On Friday
Spencer went to Gold Hill in an omni-
bus and alighted at the lower end of
the town. Passing up the street, stop
ping occasionally to with
friends, he neared the Nesey House,
on the porch of which Murray was
sitting, when the latter drew a pistol
and shot him through the heart. The
injured mar called out to Murray to
- hold on :" and at the same time
attempted to draw a pistol to defend
himself, but was too late. Under the
circumstances. death may have been a
merciful interceSsor between the I'M
fortunate man and that worser death
I-insanity-but if his suspicious in
regard to Murray were well founded,
the killing was oue of the most afro
cious and inexcusable crimes of
record.
