ARCHIE CAMPBELL, the head of the
old town guard Of Edinburgh, was a
somewhat remarkable man in his way.
His old mother died, and Archie, being
well to do in money matters, resolved to
take her back to her native place in the
Highlands, and did 80. Thinking IL a
great pity to be taking the hearse back
to Edinburgh empty, he thought Of
the plan of sending few gallons of
real small-stif smuggled whisky. which
he could easily sell TO the members of
the town council with a good profit. Az
ter his feelings Of regret had got some
what blunted by years, he used to think
1T q good joke to say DER his tOddy with
some Of his cronies: Il took ava the
body and brought back the speerit."

Conscience Smitten.

strange story has come to light in
Philadelphia respecting n young English
man named John Henderson, who
accuses himself of having committed a
murder in England in January last.
According to Henderson, the murder
was never discovered, but the matter so

killing him almost instantly. In rihing
the pockets of the murdered man,
Henderson said he found ZIG, which he
took, and then dragged the body TO a
cesspool and threw it in. He then
deserted and took passage 10 America.
where he arrived several months ago.
landing in New York. Recently he
came to Philadelphia, but the deed
haunted him so fearfully that, to find
peace TO his troubled conscience, he
delivered himself up. The English
Vice Consul at that port, on being
apprised Of the matter, stated Sergeant
Wheeler, Of Troop +, had been found in
a cesspoOl, but not until some time after
both men had disappeared, and after a
reward Of G5 had been offered for the
capture of each. twas supposed, at the
time, that both had deserted, but, on
finding the body of Wheeler, it was
believed that he had committed snicide-
