Tho 'Squiro adjusted his specs, closely scrutinized lliu hustling htilu ulloruey, uud remarked: "Well, Mr. Cux, 1 guess your client will have lo pay lor this huru dog. Tho judg ment is aguiu you." "Bui hold on," protested ' Sunset," "You will hour our aidu of tho case, wool you?" 'O.cerluinly, "responded the 'Squire ; "but I don'i ecu how you're troin' to chungu thu judgment ol this huru court. The doit is undoubtedly deud. lluv you uny w itnesses, Mr. Cox ?" " 1 es, one, responded S. 8., und nod led lo his client, who retired lo the hollow buck of thu burn and aoon re turned leuding a w hitu dug covered with black spots."

A Puelist From Conviction. Col. ft. BuniMell fihett, Jr., who is the iniinuging pistol workman ol a Charles ton (S.

'I ho sumo grounds w hich sustain de fensive wars on tho part of Christian nations justify thu duel.

Tho duel in w hich 1 was en gaged in New Orleans was ono strict ly of sell-defense, and was forced upon inc by tho attempt to brcuk down the puper in my charge, not only by vari ous libel suits, but by causeless per sonal insults to myself.
