Travelling by express in France is j not especially pU-nsauL I barely had time to spring into the first compartment I came to, when the brakeman ! closed the1 door. "Confound It: Bo earefnG You j hurt my feet!" exclaimed a large j mail, wearing the decoration of the | Legion of Honor, who was half asleep I In s corner, and did not seem to think j It incumbent on him to arouse himself i and draw in his legs to allow me to • "Ills legs" I say from habit, for one of them, which was carefully crossed over the other, whs only a wooden substitute for a leg. It. was staiuod black and was polished. Already annoyed by the rudeness of brakeman who hail thrust me Into tlie compartment, and again Irritated by the brutal tone of my travelling companion's exclamation, I answered j a voice no less ttuatniable: '•It would be difficult to hurt those feet," At these words the man straightened up, his face became purple, and turn- j ing on me his eye, his only eye (for the ' other was blind, but frightful in its ' aspect, shining with a peculiar phos- j phorescent light), ho exclaimed"Insolent!" " lfbt Mousleur— " " There Is no but! You have Insulted I me. No one can Insult me with im- j punity. There is my card." Examining my ticket, part of which was visible above the band of my bat, '■You get out at Guingamp; so do I." Then he fell back in his corner and ' closed his one eye.I picked up bis card, which had fallen my knee. It read: UaoBoaa 1'mto Reave. Uragvuro Ooverunr ol tli* Military Prison of Guingamp, i "The devil r I exclaimed. "A fenc-j lug master of the Seventh Dragoons! So," 1 said to myself, as these terrible \ words danced before' my eyes, " no It Is not possible that I am to light a duel - I, who have never used the foils; who have never handled a pistol more than once 0{ twice; who have never even lieen In a shooting gallery !" I "Monsieur!" 1 said In the softest, tones 1 could assume: "Monsieur!" J repeated, gently touching thojenee Of the sleeper. At last he opened his eye. "An apology, I suppose. I never accept an'apology -"-never!" -gw> ; And again he dosed his eye. Turning to look about the .compartment, hoping to see the sympathetic face of some one who would intercede for me. I found only tfcree or four hussars, who regarded me with a bantering, jeering air. Evidently there was no aid to be had in that quarter. I ' then began to study attentively the person of my adversary, and I soon perceived that, notwithstanding the loss of his lug and the fact that the left sleeve of his coat was empty, he was, iivvertheiesaTa slaiwari and oinlpact man. . At last L laid a plan to escape, which I proposed to put Into execution at once, for we were rapidly approaching Golngamp. Mounting the seat* at one bound I leaped over the outstretched leg of my enemy, and before the train stopped I was un (he platform at the door. lfeswitly, however, there was a violent outcry, and 1 heard my enemy stumping along after ma' He had perceived and had spoiled my plan. " "Ah, ha, yon young rascal!" he exclaimed, "you wUI not escape in that way." . _iu ,the.l wl nkliug of an eye l wM surrounded by suldiorr, to whom iny infuriated adventury explained the case, i was excusing myself when a young . man, whose fftco showed that he had ! » It !i b «l fbr you." lie raid to m* " to ; •;«»<: a qanrrel with M. I'ercepeau. It > is of no use to talk with him. The only ' way is to act I will be your second If ; yoawlshl" " We have talked too much already," ' roared the usruleut'.ng bully, as he j turned hU back. "Tliere are mysoc- - onda," he added pointing to two officers ! among Ms friends, and then he dlasp. I peared.in the crowd1 passed that night in great perplexity - and agitat ion. Let him who has passed . through his first " affair of honor" without emotion aocuso mo of eowI I

j At last, towaiu iat.r.-.r.g, DaYtng J thought over all these events, and con- w I sidered (hem from every point of view, j t found that I had become oool, calm iE j and almost resolute. i My. 'second congratulated me on my w ' iclf-possesaion, and give (me his final counsel and encouragement In lass -Qian half aDhour we reached the place of reudeivous, a little wood in the tc neighborhood. My adversary was al- la ready «iera, having thrown off his oi cloak, add showing his impatience by a pi feverish movement of his one arm, w which seemed to multiply itself. la "Copio on, gentlemen," he called to di us; " let us measure the distance." Twenty paces were measured. Then vi we took our places opposite each other, ei pistol in hand. My adversary sup- ir ported himself on his cane, which p! formed a sort of prop at his back. My ci heart thumped in my breast. Pros- k ently, at the signal, with a nervous tc contraction, I pressed thq.tr;gger; there II were two explosions. si With surprise, mingled with inex- h< presslble Joy, 1 found that I stood erect, dl . and uninjured, while my enemy was on tl the ground, rolling about like one in u: convulsions. ' 0: I, with the others hastened to him. to but a succession of oaths, uttered in a II ' | most energetic manner, reassured -me h: j in regard to Ills safety. My ball had p: ,'j shattered my adversary's wooden leg. u i While endeavoring to raise himself ai ! j he foamed at the mouth with rage, and s| I ! repulsed all liand-s extendcsl to help k ! him. . o | " That shot does not count," he said n j with an oath. " Come, let us take our n j places, ii cloud the pistols, geuUeuu-n, (l ! anti measure the distance;- make it ten With a desperate effort he succeeded , | in getting up on his solitary leg and in " ; reaching a tree near by, against which h' ; be took up his position. A piercing cry followed by the sound n of footsteps and the rustling of skiru. 11 suddenly attracted our attention. ? J " My uncle! my uncle!" n ' the old duellist, iluiig liV;-» • f w : "li » ^ into his arms. She In I u.,. , ^ . 'i his unstable Btate or equilibrium, ami " ' the result was a fall in which the two, " rolling on the ground and mingling *' J | their cries.*"inmentations and prayers s j on one side and oaths on the other. r' _ ! presented a scene even more langliable '' ' | than lhat which had just occurred. 11 I Ol course, after this, the cHiiinu- fl | j mice of the duel was impossible, flu* " veteran, however, insisted on carrying 81 ' off all the honors. " ' | "1 have not accepted hU apology," 81 ' lie said, "and 1 wish none. I will never * I accept- It — never!" be added, in answer ° ] to the supplications of bis lib" ■ K . At last, yield lng--*^>tn eivh.i li her 8 pressing entreaties, be ex-laim 1 : "j "To the devil with the w ■«! •«' An 41 ! apology! Hah! I do not accept it I l' 1 1 Apologies are for girls.

I was vanquished, aud the. h I combat bad a donoument which no one f i, expected. I fell on my knee, and, scii- 1 "j i"K the hand of the charming girl, ex- 1 o | " To you.

( o | One of the veteran's friends helped x him mend his wooden leg, and he v i lhnpcd off In the direction Of (Julu- R gamp, followed by his seconds. ;. I remained behind. | (] o " Where is the rascal wlia made me j 0 bite the grass?" said the veteran, as he s i. tunied toward me. " Young man, our j, > affair is not yet finished. Offer your B s arm to my niece Marie, you will an- ,, surer to me for the prisoner." | f y The way, which had seemed short to me an hour before, seemed much 0 g shorter on our return, and I felt both j s surprise and regret when we stopped ; 9 liefore a pretty dwelling covered with 1 p- Ivy which almest darkened the wire^ dows. • h On entering we were all ioTlted.to - i, Kit at a large table, and at a sign from ' l'ercepeau the cloth was laid. A din- J ner, quickly prepared under the direction of the charming hostess was soon j despatched. Then the veteran brought ^ out an old wine which he kept espeel- c ally for such occasions. ! r >. ."this istiie fourteenth time I have j held such a celebratiou as this," he g. d 'ii'l trtomplianUy. !h "TIave you had only fourteen affairs, (i t.

Then, counting them on bis fingers, -0 9, he named those with whom he had the R< g other five "affairs of honor." d Then he recounted to ns the hlstorjas „ » of his duels, hit stories following one L anothor, as bumper followed bumper, d O for three hours. They were to well j n [| told that all listened spellbound. At ! a j last, after recounting his eighteenth u f affair, the veteran rose. t . "OsnUemen, you perceive that one h rem dns. It Is useless for mo to tell 0 a you that, U It not?" be saM, laughing as hi* glanoed toward mo. " But you , a know," lie added, "that It was not my t }• fault that I did not have my revenge on this bcafdlcss youth.

J.. there j hovers nightly a bright light, which is I umcli discussion and excitement among j people. Jhe Bishop's tomb ts ofi jiollshed granite, and is situatednear the vestry door of old St. Mary's ' church, the cathedral of the dioceso.of! New Jersey, of which the Kuv.

A bishop's miter is carved on the top of the massive stone, and on the place which old Sexton l'rickett points out as being the resting-place of the saintly bishop's • appears nightly the Implfious that at times resoiphles the light a lantern, ami on other occasions ts so radiant that it looks like a halo, j such as the old masters have painted around tlie heads of their canonised saints. Since the strange apparition! was first observed, a week ago, crowds' of people have visited old St, Mary's j graveyard at night The light can bo from a considerable distance; but j If one has nerve enough to walk the lich gate and approach the ' tomb nothing can be found to explain! j the cause of the strange dicker, as when j ] near approach trf the tomb is madej nothing whatever can be seen.

There once lived in a neighboring a' well-to-do Irishman, who kept small grocery store. He varied his business by purchasing ilnt-cotton. In packing aiid baling this cotton on one occasion he miule bold to include a ! grindstone The bale was forwarded . to Charleston, where It was sold and ' part of the proceeds used to purchase a j hogshead of sugar. It so happened that the man from whom the suglir was i ordered was the purchaser of the , " mi xed-packed " bale, l'robing around l with bis cotton gimlet he found the I grindstone and at once proceeded to lbury.it in the hogshead of sugar. In ! time it was returned to the grocer. afterward, while the grocer's son, who was also his clerk, was scooping sugar out of the hogshead he struck something hard. Uncovering , it he found a grindstone, and called his I father's attention to it - l-'aith, ..'tis the same old rock!" the . old man uxclalmed.

I A gentleman, formerly a professor In Robert's College, Constantinople, relates the following travesty of justice illustrative of the law In Turkey, where an accused man must prove his innocence beyoud a doubt, or else he is declared guilty: j A convert to Christianity came to : Dr..Lord, a missionary there, and asked if It was right Ip tell a lie. This was a staggerer for the doctor, and he said ' he would have to know the case before be could decide, although, on general , principles, he did not think it was. I " The'case la this," replied the seeker j after the truth. " A Turk, a stranger j me, living In Rustchuk, accused me sheep. I knew Of do way of proving 'that I did not buy and receive these' , sheep, and the case must certainly go against me. It came up for trial toand after the charge had been j made, I admitted that 1 had bought I ami received tjie sheep (wMch was a and had at the same time paid for them In fulL He couldn't prove that I had not, so the case was dismissed at The doctor thought that If ever a He justifiable, this was certainly the time. < _ > At rang* bet true, that the more unlucky gambler la, lbs more money h* is tlwaj* putting in lb* bank.
