Noi-Rsistant honied before the Recorder, an I madconh thtt he hvt good reason to all that, thai 'Bill Brown nnd John 8ni the nn nes are tha only thin fictitious in the story were about to fight a duel conlraiy to the Connitminn and the peace and dignity of the State of and therefore ha prayed for the arrest of both of them, or at least of the one llrown. A Warrant vii drawn out and signed, anu placed in the hands of two poliee officers, who were instructed where Brown was to be found at bis residence, and thiiber tney went i CUT H. Now, it so happened, that when they reached the douiic.l or Brown, wno was aciuanj make a business trip to Natcheg, he wis stowing away a few shirts and other 'fixms' mlo Ins carpet bag. Yoi are a prisoner of the said one of the officers.

I'm a what said Brown, taming around and partially -levailng his body, and, as he did so, exposing a revolver, which, sure enough, he had been just placing beiween iwo shirts in his carpel b.ig fur, although oneof the most peaceably disposed men in the world, he never traveled without as he called his patent revolver. 'Seize him said the police officer to his fel-low. 'and seixc that pistol I' The order wis executed, and amidst the con joint and simultaneous cries of poor Brown wife and children he was dragged ofT betw.cn the two police officers, one of tliem carr ingthe revolver as a trophy of the manner in which th.y executed Ihrir duty. Whal is all "his f. said Brown, as soon ss he caught breath to jitter a word.

'At whose instance am I arrested Why, at the instance of to be sure, replied the officer. the hardened said Brown, 'to hav me dragged from the midst of my family to ajail for his petty three monlhs'renl, and I well i. i auic ifli iiim you a pretty Mler speak that way of ynnr friend," jtaf! one oi tne ponce i the mn.t huihmiol man I ever seed. I thought he wou a cried when he waa a swearin' agin 'O, the hypocrite I' fnid Brown. 'If heliad waited till I came down Hie river, I should have paid him lo the last -0, that' all very said one or the po-lice officers, looking signific milf at his com-rude, 'but he thouiiht that in the meantime you might pay the Uebt of nalur', he hnd you '1 challenge the said Brown, in-dignantly.

'tosav if he ever knew me to give him cause to suspect' Ah.tlieie said the policeman. 'You have already sent a challenge, though you know it is a viol-lion of the Constitution to do so; and for suspecting rou.I think that he had strong ground his suspicion. Did I not arrest you in self with the pistol actually in your hand that said he, holding it up and speaking in a moralizing tune, 'that pistol, with which you were aboul to take the life of a fellow being. 0, Brown, you're a bid man you'd kill feller being you'd leave your wife a widow, and your children orphans and all for what I Honor I iere aim no more honor in this ing business than there is in any other murder, only that il'a more genleel that's all, my This apeech of the police officer rather bo-wildered poor Brown. What could it meant Hespoke or 'Uking the life of a human a 'widow and and all that.

Thus he thouvhi! but b-fora he could find a solution ror the police officer's enigmalicil speech, he was in the presence of ihe Recorder. Here an invesu-calion of the affair is necessarily entered on, and thisdiselo-ed the fact thl il had ne'er en-t-red into the mind of Brown to fight duelj that it never entered inlo the mind of the non-resistant lo have him arrested lor the rent, and that the whole mistakes of the morning wrre attributable to the mischievous representations of Joker. tUtt- ThkTwo Wiitos Old Hpkkkbi Bakw-m anKns.
