MessrB. Charles Quentel, Jr., and Henry
Quentcl, with their wives and several campag-
mons du voyage, left town yesterday in car
riages, With the intention of tnkiug the Louis
Vile g. Nashville train at Bartlett, and depart
ing for more salubnous cline. Everything
went we'll until the party ncarcd Bartlett; not
a single murderous quarantine guard was met
With, and hope, that springs eternal in the hu-
man breast, lent an additional charm to the
beauties OF nature SO lavishlY displayed on
every hand. But, as some one, probably Mark
Twain, has said, ''All that's bright must fade"
on reaching the bridge this side of Bartlett q
solitary horseman bearing the typical shotgun
was seen, not approaching, but immovably fixed
in the road. When the party drove up. this
party Of the first part halted them.
:: You can't pass" said he, with heroic firm
ness.
sWherefore?" was asked.
"Bccauee you can't,' was the response.
"Wel, buGwe WILL"
"lf you do it will be With load in you"
III you draw that gun you'll be destroyed
without remedy" replied one Of the travellers.
He drove on; the rest followed. He got no load
in him. =

They said, however,, "1f you'll 20 on to
Bonds Station (six miles further on) you can
get aboard the train there" u1ld with this the
refugees were forced to be content. Then they
asked the conductor to take their baggage on
there &c said, g II do they will eliminate
me off the face OF the earth" So they went on
Bonds Station and waited for the train. It
came along anu was duly signaled, but passed
on without stopping. The conductor, however,
had not forgotten them. He called all the pas
sengers to the window of the car, and exhibited
the forlorn Memphians. The scene was e1joyed

been seiz d and horne away to the Custom House.
and it not until an application was made 10 the
Secretary of the Treasury that the owners nave
been able to get them returned. When taken
away the special agents report that so many cases
of Chinese OF japanese curosties have been seized
on board certain vessel, giving the public to be-
heye that the Sc zuTc is valuable one, while IN
reality 1t is only a small amount. case oil TINS
kind occurred with the captain of a British vessel
a few DAYS ago who had made the purchases 10

Another instance is mentioned of the steamship

Department. The agents communicated with Secte-
taTv Sherman. and on Thursday afternoon an order
was received from him TO have the goods delivered
