Ah soon as the next watering-place afforded the opportunity for the purposo, two or thtco of the party referred to jumped out, bought , cigars, and, having lighted them, resumed their sea'jj, filling ^,0 fctngewith cigar smeko, ami myself with illhumor, for I hnd little doubt besides tho, annoyance of tho thing it*ulf, that it would cost mc a nick headache, as it is apt to do iu Mich ease*, Tho weather i was oxceswiyoly cold, and tho curtains hnd i been carefully bitttonod down, to cxclude tin fresh air. Two or threo of tjicso buttons I contrived lu uinlodgc of thcJr trust, and by keeping tho opening as wide an possible, and my liead out of the window, 1 succeeded in getting on the next .stage, *hcrn I or ranged he curtains wo'thht1 I <&hhl lcah out with littlo other disadvantage than the cramped mid constrained limbs'to which nn unchanged position for tru miles doomed inc. As soon j as J reached Lebanon I i hi proved the brief ' stay we made, by running; over to an apothecary's shop, whore I selected an unctuous I piece of asafetida of the size of a walnut, and hastily paying for it, regained my seat just in time It was now getting dark?the days being sliort?the curtains had been again rliirmrr mv 2i1iu<mnr> oiutnrolu tlmt I it was difficult to dislodge them while the stage i was on the route. For this, however, I did | not euro, being confidont that tlie ordor of the fragrant gum must overpower the cigar fumes. Ko soon as I was well seated and under way, and the stage filled with smoke the lump was rubbed freely In the palms of my bauds, and soon tho purfumc began to assume its claims to recognition, if not respect. A snulling gradually began to prevade tho pas- 1 sengers, and various satiru d remarks and conjectures were freely nn.Je. At last one or two, who could stand it 110 longer, after some time, made an effort, and unbuttoning the curtains, lot in the keen frosty air, which j soon banished tho odors, nlike of the t ibaceo and tho drug, and for some time tho whole parly enjoyed the luxury of a pure ahuos- j plioro. After riding half an hour in tho cold siir, the curtains were put down again, and ! again the perfume filled the stage. Two of j the passengers now made for the roof, and ' (ho curtains being once more raised, wore i kept up all the way to Xenia. Here a fresh ; supply of cigars was pr-oourcd, and tho smok- j ing, as soon as we .started, was resumed. All j ?alas for them?to no purpose. My prin- ! ciprd difficulty, during the last route, had ! been to preserve my gravity; for iny past indignation had now become swallowed up ' in other foclingK, n nl I asked one of my neighbors if any thin,* was disturbing hi^i, as i 1 obsorved ho could oot sleep.

The murder was out. I spoke with so much simplicity and naturalness that the man did not know what to say for a minute or so, by way of reply.
