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. ? "I have a
; jhidy io look"after." &.
^SayJ beyou agcin' to give me a check
for tbr.t 'ere; ornot?"growJedtbe propne
tor of bag No, 3, a short pock marked
.- fellow^ ih^a^babby overcoat.
? "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.
The scene shifts to the Continental Ho?
tel, Philadelphia. Front parlor up stairs.
Occupants,Jthe young: gentleman 'alluded
to as^No>> *2-and_yottng- lady. In accord
ance'witb iKeTast usages of the times, the
twjnnjiad been made one iu holy matri?
mony at&^O a. yii, duly kissed and con?
gratulated till SrTS; put aboard , the ex?
press train at_8_:45, and deposited at the
. Continental,.ba:g.and baggage, at I1:jS.

broadlslotb'coat sleeve.encircling the slen
. der waistiof the gray travelling dress, and
"the jetty-moustache in equally, affection

"An3.-y.ou tired, dearest ?"
uN6,'^iove," not much. But you, are,

?. "No,,darIihg.''
Kiss-trod a pause. , .
"Don't it seem funny?" said the lad v.
"What,.love?"
"That we should be married."
"Yes, darling."
"Won't they be glad to see us at
George's ?'
"Ofi cours?.they will."
"I'm sure - I "shall enjoy it so much.
Shall we get there to-night ?"
"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. P. in wait
ing t? see'yez."
"To s?e mer-a policeman ?"
"Yes, sur."
"There must be some, mistake."
"No; it's yourself, an' he?s,waitin' in
' the hall heyant."
"Well, FH go--no, tell him to come
here."
<:Sorry to disturb you, jsir," said tue M.
P.,v with a large brass star ou his breast,
. appearing with great alacrity at the wait?
er's elbow: "i believe this is your black
~ valise ?*'
"Yes, that is onrs, certainly. It has Ju?
lia's? tlie lady's things are in it."
"Suspicious circumstances about that

" in a tbfack valise. Spoons marks 'P. B.

inside. Sure enough there was the spoons;
inarkedT. B,-too. Said it was yours.
Sbarr.:havc to take you in charge."
"Take.me in charge ?"? echoed the dis?
mayed bridegroom. "But I assure you,
' mydear sir; there is some mistake?it's all
- a mistake."
"S'pose you'll be able to account for the
spoons being in your valise, then ?"
"Why, It-1?it isn't mine, it must be
so"mebody else's^ somebody has put them
there, it is some villianous conspiracy."
"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. . Do you 'spose I
". ? don't know nothing ? Tain't no use;
you've just got to coinc along to the sta?
tion house. Might as well go peaceably,
-'cause you'll have to."
"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."

story of one of the farmers In the vicinity
of Culpeper, whose possessions lay in a
district where both armies foraged. The
old chap one day, while surveying ruefully
