AN INQUIs1TIvR YANKEE. We heard o
friend tell the following incident, the
other day, with not little zeal, and to
the amusement Of good many by-stand-
ers:
Jumping into an old-fashioned stage
coach, last month, in company with
nine others to jostle over ten miles of
unfinished road between Pittsburo and
Philadelphia, was very much amused
with the following characteristic dialogue
between regular question. asking
.'Deoun Easter" and O hiph.heeled
Southerner. We were scarcely seated
before our Yankee began:
travelling East, expect?"
Coin to Philadelphia, reckon?"
"Oh, ahl to New York, maybe2"
eyes, SIR"
wonder?" N ~
''No, sir, never"
New York is a wonderful place."
"Such is my impression, sir"
Got letters. I expect?"
Yes, sir; am provided with letters
of introduction"
"Wouldn't mind shown you around
myself spell, if you wanted"
~ thank you, sir; but I shall not re-
qulre your assistance"
This last remark OF the polite but re-
served stranger was "poser," and the
inquisitor fell back a moment to take
breath and change his tactics. The half
suppressed smile upon the faces of the
other passengers soon aroused the Yam
kee to still further exertions; and then
summoning up more resolution, he be-.
gan again:
Stranger, perhaps you are not aware
how almighty hard it is for Yankee to
control his curiosity. You'll please ex.
cuse me, but I really would like to know
your name and residence, and the busi-
ness you follow. I expect you amt
ashamed of 'em; 30 now won't you lust
oblige me2"
This appeal brought out our Southern
friend, who. rising up to the EXTREMIST
height allowed by the coach. and throw
ing back his shoulders, replied:
My name is Gen. Andrew Washing
ton. [ reside in the State of Missis-
elppi. 1 am gentleman of leisure, and
am glad to be able to say, of pretty ex.
tensive means. I have heard much of
New York, and am now on my way to
see it; and if I like it as we'll as 1 expect.

IHE BLooMINdDALE ASYLUM INvEsT1-
dATIoN.-The investigation into the
insanity Of Rose McCabe came to an alb
rupt termination, in New York, on
Wednesday. Judge Leonard said it was
useless to consume further time in the
examination, as he had made up his
mind when she was examined before
him that she was O monomaniac, and
mnch better off in the asylum. MIR.
Townsend said as his Honor had pro-
judged the case he would retire from it.
The court discharged the writ and re-
mandcd the prisoner. A new writ of
Ad6eas corpus will be applied for before
some other judge.
A DUEL BETWEEN WOMEN. de-
spatch from the City OF Mexico, dated
September l, says: Two women ut the
capltak, IN love with sergeant in the
army, and who were jealous of each
other, fought duel. One was armed
with an ordinary dagger and the other
with dagger made from horn. The
duel was fought according to the rules of
the code, with other women as seconds.
The woman with the bone dagger killed
her antagonist. The murderess and the
seconds were arrested.
We learn from the Wilmington .Jour.
nal, that tho surveys and preliminary
work on the proposed Atlantic and Pa
clfic Seaboard Railroad is to be begun
early next month. This road, it will be
remembered, is to run down from Nor.

MARK TwA1N's REvoLvERs. was
armed TO the teeth with a pitiful little
Smith Il Wesson's seven. shooter, which
carried ball like homeopathic pill,
and it took the whole seven to make a
dose for an adult. But thought it was
grand. 1t appears to be dangerous
weapon. It only had one fault-you
could not hit anything with it. One of
our conductors" praoticed awhile on
COW with it, and as long as she stood still
and behaved herself, che WAS safe; but
as soon as she went to moving about and
he got to shooting at other things. she
came to grief. The secretary had a
small-sized Colts revolver strapped
around for protection againet the In
dians, and to guard against accidents he
carried it uncapped. Mr.. George Bemis
was dismally formidable. George Bemis
was our fellow-traveler. We had never
seen him before. He wore in his belt
an original "Allen" revolver, such as
irreverent people called pepper box"
Simply drawing tho trigger back cooked
and fired the pistol. As the trigger
came back, the hammer would begin to
rise and the barrel turn over, and pre-
sently down would drop the hammer,
and away would speed the ball. 10 aim
along tho turning barrel. and hit the
thing aimed at, was feat which was
probably never done with an "Allen" in
the world. But Georges was reliable
weapon, nevertheless, because, rs one of
the stage'drivcrs afterwards said, eff sha
didn't got what she went after, she would
fetch something else." And Be she did.
She went after the deuce of spades nailed
against tree, once. and fetched mule
standing about thirty yards to the left of
it. Bemis did not want the mule: but
the owner came out with double.bar-
relied shotgun and persuaded him to
buy it anyhow. 1t was o cheerful wea-
pon--tho "Allen." Sometimes all it's
six barrels would go off ut once, and
there was no safety in all tho region
rOund about it, but behind il.
