The Three Travelling Bags. ? . There was three of them,, all of shining leather; one on the pile oftruuks; one on .'-the'ground, and onein the owner's hand; all going to Philadelphia ; all waiting to be cheeked. ~ Tho last bell rang. The baggageman bustled, ftuning from one pile of baggage . fpnanother, dispensing chalk to. trunks, cliccks'to the passengers, and curses to porters;, in approved railway style. ?Atmo?Philadelphia!" cried a stout military looking man, with enormous whis . kers and red face, ero wding fbrward,as the baggage man laid his. hand on the first ? traveling bag.. 'Won't youplcase to give me a check for this, now?" entreated a pale,, slender, carefully dressed young man, for.the ninth time.-lioldingout bag- No. 2. ?

"All right, gent/emeu. Here you are," says the "functionary rapidly distinguish? ing tho checks: ' ^Philadelphia, this ? Yes, 61^1092?1740?1020. All right." "AH aboard!" shouted ihe conductor. "Whoo?whew.!", responded the loco? motive, and the train moved slowly out of the station house. The baggageman meditatively watched it as-it ^ped aWay in the distance, and then as if -a tboughtsuddenly stntck him, slap? ped hir^thigb and exclaimed: : 3 "Biest,1t I don't believe?" . "What ?" inquired the switchman. "That I've gone7 and gave them three last fellers the wrong checks. - The cussed ? little things were all alike, and they hoth? ead me." "iViCgraph," said the. switchman. . "Never you mind," replied the baggage man. "They are all going to Philadeliy. They will find it out when thoy get there"" ^.They.dicJ.

"Ye?plqve, it--" Kap;.rap, rap, at-the door. 1 A hasty separation took place between man and wife, to opposite ends of the sofa; and then; "Come in." "An' ye plaze sur, it's an M.

"Hope you'll be able to tell astraighter story before the magistrate, young man; 'cause- if you don't you stand a smart chance of boing sent up for six months." "0, Charles! this is horrid. Do send him away. Oh, dear, I wish I was at home;" sobbed the little bride. "I tell you, sir," said the bridegroom, bristling up with indignation, "this is a vile plot. What would I be doing with .yourpaltry spoons? I was married this morning, in Fifth Avenue, and I am on my-wedding tour. 1 have high relations , in New York. You'll repent it if you dare to arrest me." "Oh, come now," said the incredulous official, "I have heard stories l;ke that be fore. This ain't the first time swindlers ? has traveled in couples. .

"Charles, this is pcrfecMy dreadful! Our wedding night in the station house i Do send for somebody. Send for. tho land? lord to explain it." The landlord was sent for and came; the waiters and chambermaids and bar-room loungers oame without being sent for and filled the room and the adjoining hall? some to'laugh, and some to- say they wouldn't believed it, but nearly all to ex? ult that the unhappy pair had been "found out/' No explanation could be given ; and'the upshot was, in spite of tears, j threats, entreaties, rage and expostula? tions, the unfortunate, newly-married pair were taken' in charge by the relentless por l}ce and marched down stairs en route foi;1 the police office. I And here let the curtain drop on the ! melancholy scene, while we follow the for ! tunes Of bhiek valise No. 1. Wheu the tram- stopped at Camden, four gentlemen got off, and walked arm in arm rapidly.aud silently up one of the by streets and struck . off into a footpath leading to a secluded' grove outside the town. Of the.first two, one was our mil? itia friend in a "blue eoat apparently the leader of the party. Of'the second two, one was a smiling, rosy little man, carry? ing a black valise. Their respective com? panions walked with hasty, irregular strides, were abstracted and apparently ill at ease. The party stopped. "This is the place/' said Captain Jones. "Yes," said Doctor Snith. . The captain and the doctor conferred to? gether. The others stndionsly kept apart. "Very well. I'll measure the ground, and do you place your man." It was doue. "Now for the pistol.1*," whispered the captain to his fellow second. "They are ready, in the valise," replied the doctor. The principals were placed ten paces apart, and wearing that decidedly uncom? fortable air a man has who is in moment? ary expectation of being shot. "You will fire, gentlemen simultaneous? ly when I give the word," said the cap? tain. Then, in an undertone to the doctor? "Quick, pistols." The doctor, stooping over, and fumb? ling at the vali?e, appeared to find some? thing that surprised him. "Why, what the devil"? " "What's the matter ?" asked the cap? tain, striding up. "Can't you find the caps ?" "Deuce a-pistol or a cap, but this." He held up a lady's night cap ! "Look here?and here?and here !" hold? ing up successfully a hair-brush, a long white nightgown, a cologne bottle aud a comb. They were greeted with along whistle by the captain, and a blank stare by the two principals. "Confound the lue':." ejaculated the captain. ' It we havn't made a mistake, and brought the wrong vali.se !" The principal* lool.cd at the seconds. Theseconds looked at the principals. No? body volunteered a suggestion. At last the doctor inquired: "Well, what's to be done ?" "It's d?d unlucky," said the captain again. We shall be the laughing stock of the town," consolingly remarked the doctor, "if this gets wind." "One word with you, doctor," here in? terposed his principal. They conferred. At the end of his conference with his principal, the doctor, advancing to the captain conferred with him. Then the captain couferred with his principal. Then the seconds conferred with each other. Finaly it was formally agreed between the contending parties that a statement should be drawn up in writing, whereby principal No. 1 tendered the assurance that the offensive words, "You are a liar," weie not used by him in any personal sense, but solely as an abstract proposi? tion, in a general way, in regard to the matter'of Tact under dispute. To which principal No. 2 appended his statement of his high gratification at the candid and honorable explanation, :ind unqualifiedly withdrew the offensive words, "You area scoundrel," they having been used by him under a.misapprehension of the intent and; purpose of the icinaik which preceded them. There being no longer a cause for quar? rel, the duel was ended. The principals shook hands, first with each other, next with the seconds, and were evidently very glad to get out of it. "And now that it is so happily settled," said the doctor, chuekl'tig aud rubbing his hands, "it proves to have been a lucky mistake, alter all, I hat we brought the wrong valise. 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 lose pistols. Hair triggers?best English make and gold mounted. There ain't a finer pair in America." "Oh, we'll find 'cm. We'll go on a pil? grimage from house to house, asking if any lady there had lost a night-cap, and found a pair of duelling pistols." In very good spirits the party crossed the rver, and inquired at the baggage room in reference to each and all black leather traveling bags arrived that day, took notes of where they were sent, and set out to follow them up. In due time they reached the Continental, and, as luck would have it, met the unhappy bridal pair just combig down sLairs in charge of the policeman. "Hello, what's all this about?" inquired the captain. "Oh, a couple of borglars, caught with a valise full of stolen property." "A valise ? What kind of a valise V "A black leather value. That's the one there." "Here! Slop! Halloo! Policeman! Landlord! Its all right. You're all wrong. That's my valise. It's all a mis? take. They got changed at the depot. Here's their valise, with her night cap in :.. ? lb. G- cat was the laughter, muKn'.r/ious the comments, and deep the invc est of the crowd in all this dialogue, which they ap j peaed to regard as a delight.ul entertain? ment, got up expressly for their amuse? ment. "Then you say this 'ere is yours ?" said the policeman, relaying his hold on the bridegroom aud confronting the captain. "Yes, it's mine." "And how d'd you come by the spoons?" "S loons, you jaeknapes," said the cap rnin, "'V.ors!?duelling pistols!" "Do you call vheso pistols," said the po? liceman, holding up one of the silver spoons marke*'"T. R?'. The captain, astonished, gasped: "It's the wrong valise again, after all!" ''.Stop! Not so fast!" said the police functionary, now invested with great dig? nity bj the importance of the affair hp found himself engaged in. "If so be how you've got this 'ere lady's valise, she's all ! right and can go. B?t; in that ease, this is yours, and it comes on you to- account for them 'ere spoons. HaveHo.take yoirin,, charge all four of ye." "Who, you impudent scoundrel!" roar-; cd the captain. "I'll.see you in?-?j j wish 1 had my.pistols here; I'd teach you how to insult a" gentleman V* shaking his fist. Tlie dispute waxed fast and furious. The outsiders began to take part in it, and there is no telling how it would have end? ed, had not an explosion, followed by a heavy fall and scream of pain, been heard in an adjoining room. The crowd rushed to the scene of the new attraction. \ The door was fast. It was soon burst open, and the mystery explained. The thief had carried off the captain's valise for his own, had taken it up to his room and opened it to gloat over the booty he supposed it to contain, thrusting his hand in aller the Spoons. I? so doing he had touched one of the hair triggers, and the pisool had gone off, the bullet making a round hole through the side of the valise, and a corresponding round hole in the calf of his leg. . The wounded rascal was taken in change first by the p?'iceman, and then '-y ;he doctor, and the duelist and the wedded party struck no a friendship on the score of their mutual mishap, which culminated in a supper, where the fun was abundant, and where it would be hard to say which was in the best spirits?the captain for re? covering his pistols, the bride for getting her night-cap, the bridegroom for escaping the station-house, or the duelists escaping each oilier. All resolved to "mark the day wich a white stone," and henceforth to ma-k their names on the black travel? ing bag in white letters. Washington, October 12. When the news of the Democratic vic? tories was received in Concord, N. II., thiee hundred guns were fired in the Cap? itol grounds, and the Democrats 01 that town formed a procession and serenaded Ex-President Franklin Pierce. Halting in front of his boarding place, the crowd gave three cheers for Pennsylvania, three for Ohio, and three for General Pierce. The General soon appeared at the door, and was enthusiastically cheered, the band playing the "Star Spangled Banner." As soon as the music stopped Ex President Pierce spoke as follows: "It has been so long your part and mine, my friends and neighbors, to breast1 and smile back defiance at what we have be? lieved to be the torrent of evil, that one hardly knows how to receives notes of triumph. I am free to confess, however, that the results which you have come to announce are not a surprise to me. There have been mutterings, and some distinct enunciations, which proclaimed them pret? ty significantly to my mind. Not the least of these was the encouragement aud hope Which came down to us from our neigbor iug State?Moniagnc. Verte?a noble State, represented by high men for years?Judge Col lamer, Governor Foot, Hi kind Hall, and others of like stamp. Then came tiie 18, 000 fresh voices from Maine, speaking en eouragement and hope. [Cheers and ap? plause.] Then Montana?far-off Montana ?came over the mountains with her tram pet-tone, saying: Rally to the rescue of your country. ?Wave, Munich. ?11 'by banners wave, And cbaigc with nil thy chivalry,' for we are. striking hands with you in this great battle for union and independence. Then came California [applause and cheers] booming over cape and ocean to assure us: that the Pacific has recovered its feet and is ready for llie great confliet and now I learn that we may hope for victory in Ohio [applause] which seemed like hoping against till hope. And finally, old sturdy Pennsylvania [great cheering,] which holds Independence Hall, speaks words of ter? ror to the w rung and encouragement to the right. I v. arn you, my friends, to note the fact that these triumphs, 'whatev? er they may be, are no party triumphs, The people have risen in their majesty, with a consciousness of their power, and, disregarding party lines and party aspira tions, have been silently considering what belongs to them, their children^and their country. I think the great battle lias been fought and won. If the results are significant in nothing else they are in this ?that the while race?our race?the Ger? man, Italian, French, Irish, Scotch, and Anglo-Saxon people?are still to be the controlling power on this continent. It is for you, now, to remember your duties? your fidelity to principles; what you owe to your neighbors?whether they agree with you or not?aud to take care that the public weal suffer no detriment at your hands. I thank you for your very kind greeting ; and not having strength in my present state of health to say more, I bid you all good night." ? A Presbyterian who has great faith in catechism, aud leaches" it with a perti? nacity that would challenge the admira? tion of a Luther or Calvin, was putting the youngest of four through a course one day. when the question came up : ?''Who tempted Eve?" The little fellow; after a few moments thought, with an air of confidence exclaim? ed : ' It's the gentleman who lives in hell. I'.vo forgotten his name." ? A eonvivially disposed gentleman, home late walked independently and nots ly up stairs along the corridor to his room. "Why, what a noise you make," said his wife, who heard with some anxiety the heavy tread of his boots; " how heavily you walk?" "Well, my dear," was his gruffresponse, "if you can get a barrel of whisky up stairs with any less noise, I should like to see 3-011 do it." ? A correspondent tells the following story of one of the farmers In the vicinity of Culpeper, whose possessions lay in a district where both armies foraged.
