J "Say! be you agin' to give me a check "for that 'are, or not '!'' growled ! the proprietor of bag Xo. a short j pock-marked fellow, in a shabby oer- coat.

In accordance with the fast usages of the times, the twain had been made one in holy matrimony at 7:30 A. m.j duly kissed and congratu lated till HA', and deposited at the Continental, bag and baggage at 12:.r.S. They were seated on the sofa, the black broadcloth coat-sleeve encir cling the slender waist of the gray traveling dress, and the jetty mus tache in equally affectionate proximi ty to the glossy coi ls.

It must be somebody else's. Somebody has put them there. It's some vil lainous conpiracy." "Hope you'll be able to tell a straighter story before the magistrate, young man ; cause if you don't you stand a smart chance of beiug scut up for six months." "Oh Charles this is horrid.

"You will lire gentlemen, simulta neously when I give the word," "said the Captain.- Then in an undertone to the Doctor, ".Quick,- the pistols." The Doctor, stooping over and hwv blitig at the valise appeared to find something that surprised him. "Why, what the devil " "What's the matter?" asked the Captain, standing up. "Can't you find the caps." "Deuce a pistol or cap, but this!" He held up a ladies nightcap! "Look here-and-here and-here !" holding up successively a hair brush, a long white night gown, a cologne bottle and a comb.

'Evidently not,' responded the Doc tor, 'unless they brush each other with hair brushes, or take a pop al each other with the cologne bottle. "You are quite sure there are no pistols in the valise ?" said one of the principals with suppressed eager ness, and drawing a breath of evident relief. "We might go over to the city and get pistols," proposed the Captain. "And by that time it will lie dark," said the Doctor. "D d unlucky," said the Captain n train.

There being uo longer cause for quarrel, the duel was of course end ed. The principals shook hands, first with each other, and then with the seconds, and were evidently rery glatl to get ont of it. "And noAV that it has so happily ended," said the Doctor, chuckling and rubbing his hands, "it prores to have been a lucky mistake after all, that we have brought the wrong va lise. Wonder what the lady that owns it will say when she opens ours and finds the pistols." "Very well for you to laugh about," growled the Captain; "but it's no joke for me to loose my pistols.

This course the gentleman, Mr. C. H.

He also says that there are ten or twelve others there, ' drinking the blood, all of whom arc Ijrannnrr under this treatment. One gentleman from Boston, a consump tive, so feeble that it was with diffi culty he could get to this obbntoir, is noAV able to handle an axe skillfully enough to "knock down a bullock."

We have in our possession the tomahawk mentioned, and the curious can see it by calliug at our office. It is the property of Col. Ii M.

The handle is ornamented with various devices in silver iiubedcd iu it It is so con structed that it can be used, for a pipe, a9 well as for taking scalps.

His visit was too shot t to enable him to accomplish much. The region is the one now undertaken by the Amerian society.

TUB I'BMIMSl LA of si nai. The survey of the peninsula of Si - nai undertaken by Prof. Palmer and Dr. Drake, is thns summed tip: 1. That this peninsula Avas the, scene of the events recorded in Exo dus, and its examination has certainly ! furnished a remarkable corroboration I of the truthfulness and ncev.raey of! the Biblical history. 2. That the country is extremely wild and rugged; that it has one of the most complicated systems of drainage in the world, and that the present barrenness and desolation are dne to neglect; that formerly it Avas well wooded, its mountain sides ter raced with gardens; its rushing Ava ters regulated and utilised and that this fertility lasted until comparative ly modern times. 3. That Jclie! Musa is undoubted ly the Mount whence the Law was delivered, , its form, position aud the surronndiug plain, indicating unmis takably that it was here that the mul titude assembled to listen to the Avords of Moses. This last conclu sion is disputed by the learned Dr. Bcke, Avhy says that Mount Sinai is further to the northeast, in the de sert in the vicinity of Gulf of Aka bah. and he is now collecting a fund in England to enable him to go out and search for it. He argues that Mount Sinai, fr.sni the account of it in the Bible, must have been an ac tive volcano, in the time of the Kao lin., which he thinks is now extinct. By an arrangement with the Eug lisb society the country lying east of the Jordan and of the Bed sea has been undertaken by tbe American Palestine exploration society. It em braces the part of Palestine which is least known, and is in territorial ex tent three times as great as the coun try surveyed by tho English. It abounds in ruins, inscriptions and ob jects of great interest, and its explo ration Avill undonbtedly throAV a great deal of light not only upon Biblical history, but upon tho former history of the whole country lying midway between ancient Assyria and Egypt. It was here that the Moabite stone was found, the interest of which was not alone the record of long past events which is inscribed upon it. but the fact that it sheds more .light upon the invention of our alphabet than j anything yet discovered. In the language of the late learned Mr. Deutsh, "it illustrates to a hitherto unheard of degree" the origin and history of ' the art of alphabetic and syllabic writing as we posses that priceless inheritance.
