THE AVERTED DUEL: OB, THE ANXIETIES OF A NON-RF.HIHTANT A wetlknown advoedte of non-resistance was in conversation yedterday in St. Charles street with an Acquaintance, I he subject was the Sub-Treasury, Treasury Notes, and he Finances of the General Government. While thus engaged a third parly came up ot,e who joyously delighteth in a joke find in a tone which bespoke deep concern, wink ing, however, aside, to him who was in corn pany with the non-resistant, said This is a bad business !" 'Bad business what's a tad business? the refusal of the New York banks to make a loan to Secretary Walker, eh?" "No was the reply of Joker, "but this duel ; and thin the terms are (0 desperalo to bloody I" J "What duel whit duel?" said Non-Re-sistant "what terms?'1 "Why there is liill Brown who is prin over to Gretnn to fight. a duel wilH John Smith. We s.iy Brown and Smith because sre do not wish to give the real names of the parties who were made the subject of the johc.J The weapons, I understand, are re volving pistols and lowie knives. Th-y are to sland at twenty paces and advance fir ing, and " "What I" sai l the non resistant, inle min ting him "Brown iroiog to fight a duel 1 Why he is my tenant he owes me three months rent he has a most helpless family. I shall go this instant arid make affidavit of the fact before the Recorder, and have him arrested. If he should be killed I lose my rent, lose my tenant, and have his family on me for a burden into tho bargain. I shall have him arrested instantly. Off Non-Resistant bustled, and Joker and his friend had a loud In ugh" At bis expense, when ho got at such a distance that ho could not bear them. Joker chuckled at the idea of setting so good a saw agoing, concluded n X. i . i ul luaniwouiu oo boiiiu nine uciuiu n wouiu stop. He was right ; it ran a considerable distance. Non-Resistant hurried before the Recor der, made oath that he had "good reason to believe," and all that, that " Bill Brown and John Smith the names are the only things fictitious in tho story were about to fight a duel contrary to the Constitution and the peace and dignity ol the Stale of Louisiana, and therefore, he prayed foi the arrest ol both of tin m, or at least of the one, Brown." A warrant was drawn out and signed, and placed in the hands of one of two police offi cers who were iustructed where Brown was to be found, at his residence, and thither they went to execute it. Now, it so happened that w hen they reach ed the dotnicilo.' Brown, who was actually about to make a business trip opto Natcluz j ho was stowing away a few shirts and other "fixings" into his carpet bug. I "You are a prisoner of the Stale," said j one of the officers touching hiy on theshoul der. "I'm a w hat?" said Brown, turning round, . and partially elevating his body, and as he I did so, exposing a revolver, which, sure I enough, he had been just placiug between I two shirts in bis carpet bag lor, although I one of the most peaceably disposed men in the world, he never travelled w ithout Bet sey," as he culled the revolver. "Seize him," said the police officer to his fellow, "and si izc that pistol." ThMrder was executed, and amidst the conjoint and simultaneous c i its of poor Brown's wife and children he was dragged off between the two police ofi'ietis, one of them carrymgthe re volver as a trophy of the manner in which they executed their duty What is all i his for?" said Brown, as soon as he caught breath to utter a word " What is all this for? at whose instance am I nr tested V he "Why, at the instance of , to sure," replied one of the police officers " O, the hardened wretch V s;iid Brown, "to have me dragged from the midft of my family to a jail for his petty three month's rent, and I well uble to p.iy him " "O, you ore a pretty f iler to speak that way ol your fiiend," said one of the police officers: "he's the moi humantst man 1 ever seed I thought he'd a cried when he w0 swearing against you. ', "O. the h VDOCi ite.' Said Brown, "it be had waittd till leuincdown the river I should naw Pd him my debt to the last cent " "O that's all ve.y likely," said one of the police officers, looking significantly at his 1 1 .1 L .

What coolJ ft mean? he spoke of "taking the lileef a homan being" of i "widow and orphns"iHi rae " and alt that. Thus he thought, hot befor la could find a solution for the police officer enigmatical speech, he wai in the presdnct of the Recorder, Here an invejiigBtion of the affair was necessarily entered on, and this disclosed the fact that it had ncrer enter ed into the mind o: Brown to fight ft duel that it never entered into tba mind of No Resistant to have him arrested for tiie rent, and that the whole mistake of the morning were attributable to the mischievous repre sentations of Joker. A PARISIAN LOVE AFFAIR. Paris is tho place for romantic ad rent u res. One night, some months ago, a yoong officer of a calvary regiment was returning tohia barracks late at joight, when h saw 00 one of tho bridges a young woman of consider able b-atily, but clad in the moan garment ol a wotkwom.m, preparing to flange into the rftcr. Ho seized her, and threatened (9 take her to the station-home. She supplicated, howeve,, so earnestly to be left alone1, that the officer cohscritcd to release -her firtt,".. however, exacting a solemn promise that sbi would not repeat her attempt. She harried away ; but the young officer deemed it right to follow her. Lucky it was that he did so ; for no sooner d,l she believe herself free from observation ihanthe unhappy girl plung id into the liver. The officer was close up on her, and with some difficulty, and not without dansjer, succeeded in dragging her Co land. This time he insistedt!npon accom panying her home. With ejrtreme reluct ance the would be suicide led huh to a miser able lodging in the most wretched part of the town. Knocking at the, d'Wr an old WO-. man appeared, to whom the officer rotated, what hiia happened. ,;Ab, madam I" abft ;. cried, "it was for that, then, that you boh rowed my clothes 1" and she then went on . to relate to the young officer that the pretend ed unknown waf no other than toe daughter ,f' o.' a nobletnm of tho hiirhcst rank, and that- - she had that night come to borrow the drest; in which she appeared, in order, as infl siii to avoid a discovery in a tove adventure.' In proof of thetrjilh ol the atory.theold wo! man pointed to the younsr lady' arm. whicll . . r ' . soe nau lelt on assnmintr ner coarse auire. This naturally excited the young man's curi osity to the highest pitch. 4 He msisted on ac companying the young lady to her father, to whom he related all that had taken place. Warm thanks were, of course, heaped opon him, and he was invited to the bouse, at which he subsequently bceame a constant yisiter. An intimacy sprung up between him and the young lady, which ripened into affection, and the affection resulted in marriage, celebrated a few days ago This tale is true, strange as it may apppenr.
