A CASE OF SUSPICIOS. Otic day a large number of guest tat nt the dinner table of tbe priucipul hotel in Dresden, the beautiful capital of Saxo ny., Foreigners aud native Germans sat side hy side, eating, talking, and appa rently having a very good, time, , Sud- denly a young merchant, who had trav eled throttgh India, attracted the atten tion of everybody by holding up a piece of gold money,' which he had brought with him from, that country. Thu .coin was eight-cornered, aud hud very etrange figures on Loth side of it. . Thu people around the table were greatly surprised to see sueli a beautiful and queer piece qf money, and it is no wonder that they admired it. " ' The gentlemen owning it let it pass around the table, and a good many re marks were made about how such a queer piece of money could have , been prepared. " Finally it reached the hands of a gentleman MUing at the end of the table, who was apparently an officer of high rank, and who had been so ,iutent upon con verf anon with his neighbor that was really the only one Fn" the conj- i l 1 1. ... j VMY wl" -d not paid much attention to the .curious coin He looked at it a rt wh-, . talk about othef .things, and the piece of money was apparently forgotten , As he dinner which lasted a god while, drew toa'cioscjlhe young merchant who own ed the money looked around npon the gtiests, and said : ' !' Y ' ' :- "Will the gentleman to whom'1 my piece of money was handed last" be kind euYingh to give it to me again,' for I have not yet received it f ' ' ' 1 ; 11 r r The people were greatly astonished at this remark, and won'dered that he had not received the money : again Every one declared that he had pas,scd"iC on to the one sitting next to him', but 'nobody seemed able, "to tell whit became:6f it The company were in 'great "urpriBe at the thought that a thiefconld possibly, be in the number, aud yet ,it;.did seem that somebody had taken the gold, coin. ; Fi tuJly, when the money ,.ould.. not .be found, and the. old gentlenjan arose and aid in a loud voice i,.',t. . s,.nu, .H4... "Gentlemen, since , every, , one , pf. you says.be hsnot got the piexe of ; raouey, and since all of.ua in this diuiogiopm are responsible to you, for ; it, X propose to you that each one have his pocket search ed by the' landlord,- itid : l am' willing that mine should' be scrcbed first.-' r The landlord and I 'will take our position at the door,1 'aricl I propose that no -body leave the hall without.' the landlord ex atniaing his ; pockets.' - In fact,' there is nothing else that we can (do,- if 'we want to save ourselves against tbe supposition that some one of us.js a thief!" .. It appeared that everv one was agreed '" , . I'll u ' ,! -1 I i l A to this proposition, ana one after another had his, pockets . searched : by the land lord. Finally, the officef( who laj given but little attention, to. the piece of money when it was handed to him said j Jvo ,.' vGeutlemen, I dp no, Rgree;to hay my-yocket searched, though I give you my boner as a soldier that I do not have in my possession the piece of moaey. nere is iny name,, and that is all I can submit to !

But he protestetl against it, and said' that he would submit to it under no condrttdn whatever. I'tt.i "Then," said they, "we shall . have to consider that yob are tbe thief, unless you agree to have youx packets searched !" (,,"I.arn no thief,, gentlemen and yet I will not.cunsent tq liave my; pockets searched.';, ,. , . ,, Just in the midst of the. eicUcment, a rap was lwtard at the door.
