    tercd his sledge, and then drove to the
barraoks in the Khitagorod, whero he
inquired for a young friend named Orsa,
a lieutenant of the guard. The officer
was quickly fouud, aud as he met Ruric
his salutation was warm and cordial.
After the first friendly greetings hi.d pas
cd, Jlurio remarked, ' I may have a meet
ing with Conrad Count Dauiouoff. He
has sought a quarrel insulted me most
gros.sly aimed a blow at my bead and
I knocked him down. You can judge
a well as I what the result mast be."
"Moat eurely ho will challenge you,"
cried the officer, excitedly.
"So I think," returned Ruric, calmly.
"And now will you serve uic in the c
vent?" "With pleasure."
And thereupon Ruric related all that
had occurred at the time of the Count'u
visit to his shop, aud then took his leave.
lie reached home just as his mother
was spreading the board for dinner. lie
often went away on business, and she
thought not of asking hira any questions
On qucetioaing Paul, in the shop, in
the afternoon, Ruric, to his great surprise,
learnd that the Black Monk had been
there during his absence, to purchase a
dagger; that he bad drawn out of the boy
a minuio account of the visit of Urzcn
and Damonoff, and-that lie seemed to be
much pleased with Ruric's conduct. As
tbey were talking, Urzen called and pre
sented a challenge from the Count. Ru
ric at once rofered him to bis friend, aud
he took hi leave.
That evening about eight o'clock, a
Blcdgo drovo up to Ruric's door, and
young Orsa entered the house. He call
ed Ruric aside, and informed him that the
arrangements had all been made.
"Damouoff is in a hurry," he said.
"and wo have appointea the meeting at
ten o'clock to morrow forenoon. It will
take place at the bend of the river just
beyond the Viska Hill."
"And the weapons!" asked Ruric
"Swords," returned Orsa. "The
Count will bring his own, and he gives
you the privilege of selecting suoh an one
as you choose."
"I thank you Orsa, for your kindness
thus far, and you may rest assured that I
dial! bo prompt."
"Suppose I call brre in the morning
for you?' suggested the visitor.
"I should bo pleased to have you do
so," thejgunmaker said; and thus it was
arranged.
On the following morning Rurio was
up betimes, and at the breakfast table not
a word of the all-absorbing theme was
uttered. After the meal was finished thf
gunmaker went out to his shop, and took
down from ono of the closets a long
leathern case, in which, were two swords.
They were Toledo blades, and of most
exquisite workmanship and finish.
rie took out the heaviest one, which was a
two-edged weapon, with a cross hilt of
heavily gilded metal. lie placed the
point upon the floor, and then, with all his
weight he bent the blade till the pommel
touched the point. The lithe iteel sprang
back to its place with a sharp clang, and
the texture was not started. then he
struck the flit cf the blade upon the an
vil with great force. The ring was 6harp
and clear, and the weapon remained un
harmed. "Hy St. Michael," said the gunmaker
to his boy, "Moscow does not contain an
other blade like that. Damascus never
aaw a better."
"I think you are right, my master,"
the boy returned, who bad beheld the
trial of the blade with unbounded admi
ration. "But," ho added, could you not
temper a blade like that!"
"Perhaps, if I had the steel. But I
have it not. The Btoel of these two blades
came from India, and was originally in
one weapon a ponderous, two-handed
affair, belonging to a Bengal chieftan.
"The metal possesses all the hardness of
the finest razor, with the elasticity of the
most subtle spring. My old master at
Toledo $ave me these as a memento.
Were I to mention tho sum of money he
wai once offered for the largest one, you
would hardly credit it."
After this Ruric gave Paul a few di
rections about the work, promising to be
baok before nignt. Just then Orsa drove
up to the door.
Ruric -war all ready. His mother was
in the kitchen. He went to her with a
f mile upon his face. He put bis arms a
bout her and drew her to his bosom.
"God bless you, my mother. I Bhall
come back." lie said this, and then he
k'med her.
He dared stop to speak no more, but
opened the door and passed out.
"Have you a jgood weapon?" asked
Orsa, as the horse started on.
"I have,' Ruric said, quietly; "and
one which has etood more tests than most
swords will bear," And after some fur
ther remarks he related the peculiar cir
cumstances attending the making of the
sword, and his possession of it.
At length they struck upon the river,
and in half an hour more they reached
the spot. The day was beoutiful. They
had been upon the ground but a few min
utes when the other party came in sight
around the bend of the river. Tie monk
wasitliere also.
As soon as the Count and his second
and surgeon had arrived, and the horses
had been secured, the lieutenant proposed
that they bhould repair to an old build
ing which was close at hand.
"Ave." added Damonoff "JLct us
have this business done, for I would b
back to dinner. I dine with Olga to-day,
and a fair maiden awaits my coming.
"Notice him not," whispered Orsa, who
walked bv Ruric's side. "That is one of
hia chief points when engaged in an af
fair of this kind. lie hopes to get you
angry, aud unhinge your nerves,"
"Never fear," answered the gunmaker.
The party halted when tbey reached
tho interior of the rough structure, and
the Count threw off his pelisse and drew
bis sword, Rurio followed his example.
"Sir Count," the latter said, as he

"You have no right to speak thus, for

An angry reply was upon Damonoff s
lips, but ho did not speak it. He turned
to his antagonist and said, .

Dreadful affair at Washington.
Assassination oj Philip Barton Key, by
Daniel E. Sickles-qf JScio- xork.
Special Correspondence td the Tribune.
Washington, Feb; 27, 1859.
This city has been thrown into an un
usual state of excitement this afternoon
by the shooting of Philip Barton Key,
United States Attorney for the Distiict
of Columbia, by Daniel E. Sickles, Mem
ber of Congress from the llld District of
New York, resulting in the almost instant
death of the former. The circumstances
as I have learned them from the parties
most interested on both sides, including
Mr. Sickles, with whom 1 have had an
interview in the District Jail, are as fol
lows :
For more than a year there have been
floating rumors of improper iutimacy be
tween Mr. Key und Mrs. Sickles. They
have from time to time attended parties,
the opera, and rode out together. Mr.
Sickles has heard of these reports, but
would never credit them until Thursday
oveniag last, un that evening, just as a
party was about brcakiug up at his house,
Mr. Sickles received among his paper
an anonymous letter. Without opening
bis mail, or knowing the content's of the
letter, he accompanied his wife to a hop
at Willard s. Un his return borne at
midnight, Mr. Sickles opened the anony
mous letter, which informed him of the
infidelity of his wife, of her intimacy with
Mr. Key, and stating all the details of the
manner of their meeting, and naming the
oiace oi rendezvous, lne letter was so
a
plausible in its statements, and gave such
precise directions for the detection of the
parties in their assignation meetings that
Mr. Sickles decided to investigate the
facts Accordingly he placed the letter
in the hands of two of his most intimate
friends, who last evening possessed them
selves of the evidence satisfactory to Mr.
Sickles that Mr. Key had rented a bouse
of a necro in Fifteenth street, which he
used as a place of rendezvous with Mrs
Sickles.
luis morning, being in great agony
of
mind, Mr. Sickles, in the presence of two
witnesses, charged his wife with having
had illicit intercourse with Mr. Key.
At first Mrs. Sickles declared her iono
cence. Mr. Sickles then paraded before
her the evidence of her guile. She be
came overwhelmed with sudden arraign
ment, fainted, and finally confessed her
guilt. Mr. Sickles was not satisfied with
this verbal confession, but desired Mrs
Sickles to make the confession in writing.
She complied. Sue also informed him
how often Mr. Key had been in the hab
of seeing her, and his mode of telegraph
ing to her by a wave of his bandkerchie
when he waiited her to come out.
Mr. Sickle's residence is No. 7 Presi
dent's square, in view of the' Jackson
statute, which is opposite the White Iloue
Tn full view of Mr. Sickle's residence
on the other side of the square, Fif
teen-and-a-half street, is the Washington
Club House, where Mr. Key frequented
and from the windows of which Mrs. Sick
les says he was in the habit of telegraph
'ing ber with-his white handkerchief. I
Mr. Sickles was absent, she was in thi
habit of returning the signal.
About two o'clock to day Mr. Sickles
saw Mr. Key come out of the Club House
and go round tho square and walk pas
his (Sickle's) house two or three times.
He made the sigual for Mrs. Sickles once
or twice, when Mr. Sickles, arming him
self with a five-bore sis inch revolver and
two single-barrel Derringers, which car
ry each a ball double the size of the re
volvers, went out of his house and walk
ed down past the President's, and met
Mr. Key. The latter greeted the former,
aud was about offering .him his hand,
when Mr. Sickles, refusing to take Mr.
Key's hand, said, "Sir, you have dishon
ored me; prepare to die 1' Mr. Key star
ted back a few feet, exclaiming, "What
for I What for? Don't! don't 1" and made
a movement as if seeking for a weapon
in his left breast, but which proved to be
an opera-glass, which he threw at Sickles.
Mr. Sickles then drew one of his Der
ringers and shot Mr. Key, who staggered
some ; Mr. Sickles shot at Mr. Key again,
with his second Derringer, which sent him.
reeling against a tree; he cried out "mur
der," when Mr. Sickles fired a third time,
from his revolver, and Mr. Key fell. Mr.
Sickles, believing him dying, desisted,
and did not fire again.
Mr. Samuel F. Butterworth, Superin
tendent oi the Assay Office, Now York,
was conversing with Mr. Key when Mr.
Sickles came up, and witnessed the affair,
and then went with Mr. Sickles to the of
fice of United States Attorney General
Black. Ho expressed a desire to surren
der himself, and accordingly sent for the
Mayor, the Marshal of the District being
absent,, and in company with that, magis
trate, rode in his carriage to tho District
J ail, where he has been visited by a large
number ot bis lriends, from different sec
tions of tho country, all of whom express
ed great sympathy for Mr. Sickles.
After learning the facts, Mr. Siokles
conversed freely on the subject, and jus
tines lnmselt. lie said to me, "He has
dishonored me, and wo could not live to
gether on the same planet."
Since writing the above, I learn that
after Mrs. Sickles confessed her guilt,
oer uusbana demanded her to return to
bim her wedding ring, and desired her to
write to her father to send for ber and
take her in charge. Her father is Antio
Bagioli, an Dalian music master in'Now
York City, where he has resided about
thirty years. Her mother's namo was
Cook, and was born in New-York.
Mr. Siokles married bis wife when she
was sixteen years of age. Ho tookjher to
lijnglanu witb him when he was Secretary
of Legation at London under Mr. Buchan
an; introduced her to the Queen; carried
her to the Continent and introduced her
into the most fashionable society. Mr.
Sickles loved her with great devotion, and
lavished all his means upon her. Tbey
lived in elegant style here, ocoupyipg a
house of $3,000 rent. Mrs. Sioklos rode
in a splendid carriage with outriders;
wore jewels to the value of 55,000, and
