A Poor Preachers Pucker.
TSan Francisco Chronicle.l


During last winter q revival was in progress
IN Que OF the country churches near San
Francisco. Among the regular attendants on
the meeting was q beautiful and estimable
but rather unsophisticated young lady, whose
friends were very anxious to have her united
with the church. She seemed. however re
luctant to do SO, and the minister in question
was requested TO talk to her" This he did
several times, On one occasion saying. in q
%jocular manner, "Miss b., if you will join
the church I'll marry you" meaning he would
perform the ceremony. The girl seemed
pleased with the proposition, and a few even
ings after walked up to the altar and united
with the church.
Some weeks after this the minister preach
ed at the church, and after the services met
the young lady. "Brother -" said she,
s'you know you promised to marry me il I'd
join the church. Are you going to do so I
don't want to wait any longer"
The minister saw his dilemma, and attempt
ed to explain. Il meant I would perform the
ceremony he said, 7 can't marry you my
myself, for I am already married, and love
my wife too much to desire to swap her off
for another"
The young lady became indignant, declar-
ing that she tsneyer did have much faith in
these town preachers" Our ministerial friend
declares that he will never again use any
other than plain %scriptural argument to in
duce q young lady TO join the church.

Ehe Reene Magazine Gun.

The Remingtons, of Lion, N. Y, are now
making a magazine gun, Keene's patent, for
the Us. military cartridge, IS cal, 70grains
powder. The magazine is located under the
barrel, thereby enabling it to carry the
greatest number of cartridges within a CIV
en- weight and length Of barrel. All of the
motions are direct and positive. The cart
ridges are held securely in position while
passing from the magazine over the
carrier to the chamber in the barrel, in which
respect it has a decided advantage over other
magazine arms. The cartridge does not pass
on to the carrier until the gun is opened for
the purpose Of loading, so that there is no
danger of a cartridge being exploded liz the
carrier in case a defective cartridge is fred in
the gun. The arm is always left at half cock
and the .breech locked so that it cannot be
Jared open and the cartridge lost out. From
the half cock it can be brought to the full
cock readily and quickly, while the arm Is
being carried to the shoulder and without re.
moving the finger from the trigger. The
parts are all large and strong, and can be
readily removed and replaced for the pur.
pose Of cleaning or inspection. The maya
is SO arranged that it can be charged
while the breech is closed, thus avoiding the
entrance Of dirt in the working parts Of the
gun. The gun may be held either barrel up
or reversed for this purpose.

How fitting and appropriate seems now the
very last ofnieialact of his life, on this very
Friday Of his assassination [ am referring to!
When notified by telegraph (betWeen the two
interviews embodied in this paper and the
preceding one) that two Of the Southern lead
ers were to arrive from Canada at a New
England port to escape to Europe, be in
structed our officers not to arrest them. But
only a few short hours after his message of
mercy had sped on the wings Of the lightning
To save these Southern chiefs from harm,
his wicked assassin sent his bullet crashing
through that brain which had been devising
plains OF reconciliation with the country's
enemies, and ended that life which had
malice for one and charity for ALL And
I am more than sure, If in his death agonies
he had had one moment OF consciousness
and speech, his great heart would have
prompted him to pray for all who had
thirsted for his blood: Father. forgive them,
for, indeed, they know not what they do. y

To CAPTAIN BRANsCoMBE:
MoNsIEUR,-We believer we have in custody
the boy who acted so prominent part in the
robbery committed on Madame, your wife in
January, 1869. He is concerned in an affair
which bears close resemblance to the one in
which your lady was the victim. Will she
come herself, and il she can, identify him and
thus clear up matter which has long puzzled
us all? (Signed) c."
The thought of proceeding in this case
was at first very annoying to me; but so
much might be brought to light by my max
ing the effort, that l resolved. by Ralph's
advice, to face the disagreeable task; and,
accordingly, we started for Paris that night,
will not enter into the details of the casl
then under examination, suffice it to say it
was robbery committed on the wife of Col
onel Styles, under circumstances closely re-
sembling those of which l was made the
dupe. In this instance, however, boy had
been seized on suspicion, and it was this
same boy was called on to identify. 1 had
not much difficulty in the matter; although
he had altered in the time that had elapsed
since that memorable evening, there were
dropping lashes, and the pale delicate face
to bear witness to his identity; and without
the least hesitation declared him to be the
same boy who had guided me to the house
where L had been robbed on the evening of
January %, 1859.
1.-THE boy did not seem at all disconnected
at my recognition, and even smiled in a
supercilious manner as though he felt him
self secure from any discovery resulting from
my Identification. The authorities had been
unable as yet, to elicit any information from
him; he bafled all their attempts at ques-
tioning him with skill and cunning almost
