After the result of the election of 1844 was determined, and the defeat of Henry Clay was known, I started fora four years' tom• through the cities and countries of the old world. Feelings I entertained for Clay amounted to more than love, respect and admiration ; his defeat did not increase their ardor, but it did cause me to think my countrymen guilty of culpable ingratitude, and incapable of select ing the proper men to till the high offices in their gift. My disappointment was so great that it caused me to decide upon self-banish ment for the years I have named. I . do not propose in this sketch to give further account of my travels than may be necessary in nar rating as much as I know concerning the cir cumstances and incidents which go' to make up the sum of my story. I had paid my bill at the Astor House, and attended to all neces sary preparations for a voyage across the At lantic, and was about stepping into a carriage in waiting for tae, when I was tapped on the shoulders by Senator Benton, of Missouri, who 'introduced me to a young gentleman—whom I will call Crawton, who, he said, was going to Home to study the old masters, and acquire an extensive knowledge and practice in his profession. Mr. Benton remarked to me that the youthful artist was "one among ten thou sand" ; that he was talented, brave, and just ; a little reserved, but brimful of goodness and gratitude. "Be a good' friend to him," said Benton, "and you will never have cause to regret it." I certainly never looked upon a more noble countenance or a more symmetri cal and perfect form. A single glance at the youth would impress the observing • mind of the presence of a superior person, and incline one to consider the close relationship of man kind with the gods. In a few hours we were on board a steamer voyaging as fast as steam and favorable winds could drive us for Southampton. Day by day I became more interested in and attached to the young artist. Arrived in London, we found the weather extremely fine, and we concluded to remain there and "do" the city as long as It afforded us comfort and enjoy, meat. I had visited London several times in my life, lind found, the more I learned of the great city, and the better I became acquainted ith Englishmen and Englishwomen, the more rapidly the prejudice gave way to ad miration and respect. We spent seven weeks in the great city most agreeably ; and we might have stayed longer but for a circumstance which caused us to proceed at once for Paris, and which, also, constitutes the beginning of a chain of circumstances which blasted the life of a noble youth, and furnished the material for this story. Our evenings while in London were gener ally spent at the opera. Crawton, like moat artists, was passionately fond of music, and would sit for hours like one enchanted when listening to the master productions of Duni zetti, Rossiuni, Mozart, and other celebrated composers. On the night previous to our de• parture from London, we were listening in tently to Artina mi rommentati in the "Bo hemian Girl." Crawton was charmed and seemed unconscious of all around him save the sweet cadence of music and song, until a young man approached, leaned over him, and whispered a word in his ear which brought hint suddenly to his feet. They were friends, and had been from early youth. Craw ton had often spoken of the • youug man, nod also another equally dear to him, who, he was that night quickly informed, iv as at Paris, dying of a wound received in a duel. Dalton—that was the name of the young intruder upon our musical entertainment—had hurried to Lon don by request of the dying man to procure important papers which required the signature of the unfortunate youth, hi order to place his widowed mother in possession of property without which ebe would have been left des- titute. By good fortune, Dalton had stopped at the sane hotel where we were staying, and learned of Crawton's being in London, and that we could be found at the opera. I con sented to leave the opera with them immedi ately. - ving at our hotel, it was nt once decided that the trio should start the fol lowing morning for Paris. Before entering the room in which the wounded youth was lying, a surgeon at the door informed us that we must proceed at once to transact any business of Importance to his friend, We acted strictly by the advice given us by the surgeon, anti in twenty min utes thereafter the papers were signed and ac knowledged, and all business affairs adjusted, and placed in the trust and management of Dalton. "Crawton," said the dying youth, '" I have been murdered ; Dalton has a mission to per form for me ; my good mother and her future weal in'this life I have trusted to his care ; he will do for her all her son would have done had he not been murdoled. Dear, dear Craw ton," continued .the dying youth, "if you ever fight a duel in France, never use the sword—the pistol, Crawton l Americans know better bow to use the pistol." The scene which followed was a sad, very sad one, indeed. The bands of the dying youth were clasped by those of his friends, who leaned Over him In turn, and kissed the fevered lips through which a brave and noble spirit was escaping. "Good by, mother; God bless you ; good by, friends, God bless you ; the ferryman is here, and I 'must go ; good by," muttered the youth; and dropped into death as falls the fresh and blooming flower cut from its stem. nuffith's search for the duellist brought no tidings of Mons. D. Shatturn further than that he had left Paris the day following the duel. The duel and its fatal consequences wrought a great change in Crawton. I hail learned to love him very dearly. My affection amounted to a ceaseless infatuation ; my fortune was then, and is now, very large. My parents and only sister had passed from earth, and left me, as far as relatives were concerned, affine in the world. Aside from Henry Clay and young Craw ton, I had no love for any mortal. Re spect and friendship I of course had for many acquaintances of both sexes. Large as my fortune was I felt that I could part with it ell for Crawton's sake. Crawton's situation, in some respects, was like any own ; he had no family kin living ex cept very distant relatives, with whom he was entirely unacquainted. He was not rich, but possessed means sufficient to insure him com petence through life. The deep feelings I en tertained for him were sincerely returned. I possessed the affections of his noble heart, and that knowledge afforded me as much satisfac tion and happiness as any bachelor has a right to expect on earth. Crawtlin accepted my proposition for him to accompany me in any travels—in fact we agreed to mingle our fortunes and remain together until separated by a decree of death. lie had accomplished a great deal in his chosen profession. lie certainly possessed great tal ent and skill and genius and originality of no mean order, but the death of his friend seemed to have blasted his ambition for fame. The only picture • tic painted after the fatal duel was a copy of a portrait of Mons. De Shatturn ; and his frequent study of that picture, together with theifatal suspension of work, caused me about the only concern • and unhappiness I ever experienced in his company. Crawton had the body of his frknd em balmed and sent to America for burial, after which we quitted Paris; and pursued our travels. For two years we kept constantly on the move, visiting all the noted places of the old world, and perhaps no two travelers ever ac. complished so much in the way of sight-seeing in the same length of time. At last we returned to Paris. Mons. de Shattura had preceded us at many of the places visited by us. We were " off his heels" at Ifome ; we heard of him at Milan, at Padua, and at Venice ; and also at Jerusalem, both at Jerusalem and Damascus, and other places. I made no inquiry concerning the man ; with me the duel was a matter ns much to be for- gotten as its result was to'be deplored. It has always been a part of my philosophy to banish from my mind the recollection of mis fortunes for which there existed no remedy. It did not occur to my mind that Crawton was engaged in a determined and untiring search r itions. Dc Sliatturn until after our return to Paris. lie had studiously avoided all reference to the duel, and only mentioned the name of Mons. De Shatlurn to say that "he has been here," in places the duellist had visited previous to our arrival. On the evening of the tenth day after our arrival at Paris, we attended the opera. I had gone there much against my desire, as the "Bohemian Girl" suggested rather un pleasant recollections. Two years before we vere listening to that opera, and apprised of he duel which had taken place at Paris. 1. felt a strange apprehension that something de plorable was going to happen. I any not all inclined to superstition, and have no recollec tion of having had such feelings before in my life. I naturally paid more attention to Craw- ton than to the music of the opera ; in fact, I w•as in no frame of mind to enjoy the best o music. With the exception of an almost im- perceptible pallor, the countenance of Craw ton wore its usual calm, beautiful and impres sive expresson, until D' Arlena Rammentati was being sung, when I perceived his big tears dropping from his eyes and trickling down his cheeks, which lie made no effort to conceal or to brush away. Ile seemed to be unconscious that his eyes were exposing the fullness of his heart. Before the song was ended, a slight commotion in one of the pri- vale boxes attracted our attention. Crawton seemed to be suddenly startled ; and grasping his opera-glass, lie levelled it upon the group in the private box, and gazed steadily at ,the ladies and gentlemen seated therein. Then, handing me the glass, he remark( d "There is Mons. De Shatturn ; watch him for a moment ; I will soon return to you." So saying, he arose and left the theatre. I began to suspect that Craw ton meant mischief, alma regretted I had allowed. him to depart. 1 became very uneasy ; still I kept my glass fixed upon Mons. De Shatturn. There could be no mistake. Just as I was wondering how it could be poSsible for Crawton to paint so perfect a likeness or the man, he appeared at the box, and by the side of Mons. Dc Shut turn. I saw him address the Frenchman. The ladies stared at him as an intruder After the two men had exchanged a few words, I saw Crawtoti slap Mons. De Shatturn in the face, hand him his card, bow to the ladies, and leave the box. He soon returned to his seat, and sat calmly and patiently to the end of the opera. I never before experienced such deep feel ings of concern and regret. We proceeded in silence to our hotel—both of us seeming to understand each other's feelings, Words in such a crisis were useless. The'honor of my friend would not permit any effoit to avert a collision between him and sorely offended Dc Shatturn ; and my deep affection prevented any desire, inclination, or power on my part, to aid and abet in the matter. I knelt that night,and prayed that the threatening calamity might pass away, An appeal to Heaven seemed to me the only one that I could make. The morning came, bringing with it a fierce challenge from Mons. De Shatturn which Crawton immediately accepted. Being the challenged party, CraWtoir wrote out the man ner, time, and place of the encounter, which in substance was IQo'clock p. in., in the Old Mord Hall, in the Rue de Itivon ; naked ; in the Mirk, and armed with the American bowie knife. They were to meet and fight until one or both were killed. Mons. De Shatturn was surprised at the terms of the duel, and considered that the conditions proposed by Crawton could only ethanate from an insane mind. He at once sent a friend—an eminent French physician, familiar with the eccentricities of madmen— to confer with C'rnwton, and report 'upon his sanity. Mons. Dc Shatturn was again astonished on being informed that Crawton was not only perfectlY'sane, but that he was besides% re fined and accomplished gentleman, and withal most serious and determined as to the terms he bad decided upon. The physician informed Mona. De Shatturn that Craw ton was thoroughly conversant with his career; that he knew hint to be a cruel and unfeeling duellist and murderer, who had per force of superior skill slain eleven young men, and severely wounded as many more ; that he was familiar with the particulars of every duel fought by De Shatturn, both as to the cause 'and result ; in every instance De Shatturn had either wantonly offended or pre sumed offence, when none was really intended or given ; lie had on every occasion magnified and pressed matters to desperate results for no other apparent reason than to satiate a bru tal mania for blood and murder. Being the best shot and the most skillful swordsman in France, and fortified with that confidence and assurance which makes the, coward cruelly desperate, he had always met his antagonist with all the advantage in his own favor. Craw ton thirsted for the heart's blood of Mons. De Shatturn, and determined to brand the celebrated duellist throughout France as a coward should lie refuse to fight him in the manner stated. Mons. De Shatturn hadiso often been suc cessful, he considered that chance and good fortune would not forsake him In au encoun ter wherein his skill Would avail hint little or nothing ; therefore the proposed terms were accepted with one exception, the time. Shat turn requested to be allowed ,to make proper business arrangements in case the facts should go against him. I entered the room in which the duel was to be fought ; it was eighteen by twenty-four feet in size, with high ceiling and polished floor ; the walls were hard and sombre-col ored ; there were no windows. The door we entered was the only ingress or escape from the dark and gloomy hall. I say escape, for that is the only impulse one could feel en tering the placC. The door closed and the darkness because so intense that it could almost be felt. The clock struck one as I embraced Craw ton, bade him gocia:bye, closed the door and left him shut up in that midnight vault, crouching and groping, and gliding about as, noiseless as the velvet-footed - tiger, creeping with twitching muscles, charged with .a des perate and savage spring to grapple for his prey. Two naked men, armed with keen, sharp knives, moving about in the darkness, strain ing eye and ear fora shadow . at which to 'strike, the very breath escaping from their set teeth and compressed lips might bring the swift stroke of death to one of the antago- mists. Outside, leaning against the door, the friend of Mons. Do Bhatturn and myself were equally silent.

Ile wanted my name and I gave it to him. Then I left him standing by the counter, so happy that I almost envied him, and many years passed before I saw him again. Last year I went to Europe on one of the finest vessels that ever plowed the waters of the Atlantic. We had beautiful weather until very near the end of the voyage, then came a most terrific storm that would have sunk all on board. had it not been for the captain. Every spar was laid low, the rudder was almost useless, and a great leek had shown itself, threatening to fill the ship. The crew were all strong willing men, and the mates were practical seamen of the first class ; but after pumping one whole night, and still the water was gaining on them, they gave up in despair, and prepared to take to the boat., though they sight have Irtown that though no small boat eould ride such 4 see.

I'ATS AND LAWYERS A LONG PULL, AND A STRONG PULL, AND A PULL ALL TOGETHER Two Arkansas lawyers were domesticated n the rude hotel of a country town. The tote) was crowded, and the room slotted to our two heroes was also occupied by six or eight others. Shake-down beds enough to accommodate the guests were disposed about the room, against the four walls, leaving an open space in the centre of the apartment. Judge Clark lay with his head to the North, on one side, and Judge Thomas lay with his head to the south, on the other side of the room. So far as that room was concerned, it might be said that their heads represented the North and South poles, respectively. All the other beds in the room were occu pied. The central part of the room was deemed neutral ground, in which the occu- pants of the different beds had equal rights. Here, in the picturesque confusion, lay the boots, bats, coats and breeches of the sleepers. There were no windows ; and though the door was open, there being no moon, the night was very dark in that room. The witty lawyers who had been opposing counsel in a case tried in the town court that day, and had opposed each other with the contumacity of wild pigs, were now the very incarnation of meekness, for when the hungry swarm of mosquitoes settled down and bit them on one cheek, they slowly turned the other to be bitten also. But hush I hark I A deep sound strikes the ear like a rising knell I "Me-ow-ow Judges Clark and Thomas were wide awake, and sitting bold upright in an instant. Again the startling cry ! " Ye-ow, Ye-ow !" " There's a d—d cat !" whispered Clark. " Scat, you!" hissed Thomas. Cat paid no attention to these demonstra tions, but gave vent to another yowl. " Oh, Lord !" cried Clark, " I can't stand this I Where is she, Thomas " On your side of the room somewhere, replied Thomas. ‘. No, she's on your side . ," said (lark. " Ye-wo-ow-mr !" "There, I told you she was on your side, they both exclaimed it( a breath. And still the "yowl" went on. The idea 'now entered the heads of both , lawyers, that by the exercise of certain strat egy they might be enabled to execute a cer tain flank movement on the cat,' and totally demoralize hint. Practically each determined to tile "a motion to quash" the cat's attach ment for that room. Each kept his plan to himself, and in the dark, unable to see each other, prepared for action. Strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless true, that the same plan suggested itself to both, in words the plan would be about as follows : The yowler is evidently looking and calling for another cat, with whom he has made au appointment. I will imitate a cat, and this cat will think Collier cat's around. This cut shall come toward me, and when he shall have arrived within reach, I'll blaze away with anything I can get hold of, and knock the mew-sic out of him. To earls of the portly judges, noiselessly as cream comes to the surface of the milk, hoisted himself upon his hands and knees, and, hip popotamus fashion advanced to the neutral ground occupying the central portion of the room. Arriving there, Judge Clark selected a boot - jack and Judge Thomas a heavy cow-hide boot, from the heap, and settled themselves down to the work. Clark tightened the grip on the boot-jack, and throwing up hie head, gave vent to a pro longed and unearthly "Ye-ow-ow I" that would have reflected credit upon ten of the largest sired cats. "Alfa," thought Thomas, who was not 811 feet away, "he's immediately close around. Now I'll inveigle him I'.' and he gave the reg.. idar night call of a feminine cat. Each of the .judges now aditiase4 a little closer, and Clark produced a queationing " Ow I Ow I" Thomas answered by a.very assuring "yur, .ow I purow I" and then they advanced a little'. more. They were now within easy reach, and each imagining the cat had but a moment mere to live, whaled away, the one with his boot, the other with his boot-jack. The boot took Clark square in the mouth, demolishing his teeth, and the boot-jack came down on Thomas's bald head just as he was in the midst of a triumphant " Yeow l" When the lights were brought the cat had disappeared,. but the catastrophe was in the opposite corners of the rooms, with heels in the air , swearing blue streaks.

As he passed We, I asked him if there was any hope. He looked at me, then at the other passengers, who had crowded up to hear the reply,.and said, rebnkingiy 4 " Yes, sir, there Is hope as long as one finds of this deck remains above water. When I ace none of it, then I shall abandon the vet• eel, and not before, nor one of my crew, sir. Everything shall be done to save it, and if we fail it will not be from inaction. Bear a band, every one of you, at the pumps." Thrice during that day did we despair ; but the captain's dauntless courage, perseverance and powerful will mastered every mind on board, and we went to work again. " I will land you safely at the dock in Lis , erpool," said he, "If you will be men." And he did land ua safely ; but the vessel sunk moored to the dock. The captain stood on the deck .of the sinking vessel, receiving the thanks and the .blesakoge of the passengers as they passed down the gang-plank. I was the last to leave. As I passed, he grasped my hand and said : Judge P-, do. you recognize me ?" I told him that I was not aware that I ever saw him until I stepped aboard his 'hip, " Do you remember the boy In Cincinnati?" " Very well, sir ;'William lisverly."
