There was a vague remembrance of all hands at the bar, a scufiie, a pistol-shot or two, and then the mad race h0me,the trust betrayed, the stain of blood upon his hands, and the “Vigilants” close upon his heels. A chance acquaintance, met just in the edge of the town, easily led the way to a tippleiin the nearest saloon. This exchange ofgoocl fellowship eviâ€" dently resulted in many more, under the combined influence of which no Rothschild ever felt richer than did Lot with the trust-money in his hand. A party instantly surrounded his cabin. Then the whole of the unforâ€" tunate affair came out. Lot's spirit, released from its accustomed restraint, had rebounded like a baloon that; has thrown over its ballast. Marier’slast words were useless as the wind against this sudden and overwhelmingelation, born of renewed Vigor. His journey furnished him a golden opportunity, though brief, for the renewal of those harmless indulgences of late so religi- ously foregone. Lion, the huge St. Bernard, came smelling at the garments of the in- vaderst looking up with enquiring eyes. Half unconsciously the lender patted the rough head carressingly, as it rubbed against; his hand. The dog, friendly to the friendly, reared upon his hind legs and placedvhis fore- paws on the leader’s shoulde‘rs»stnnd- ing a halfâ€"head taller than the man himself. " Who would not luv. the babbling stream that courses through the vale, A: dancing o’er its pebbly bad it tells it: murmuring tale? Who would not love the gushing fount which throws its silv’ry spray Like scattered gems upon the sand that, glittering, sink away I They were sure enough of him now â€"-twelvo men to one, and he trapped like a prairie dog in his hole. Meanwhile, neither sound. nor light came from Lot’s cabin. Lion, going over, pushed at the door with a low whine. Speedily following, the leader, with three of the men, knocked for admittance. Blamed pure cold Watar, thy draught no madness brings ; No murder lurks within thee, no poii’nous ‘ adder’s sting. No blood has stained thy liquid 313.23, no no wailing orphan’a cry Has echoed from the peaceful dept-113 whore crystal waters lie. Sfraiglltway in the door appeared Lot’s wife. “Gentlemen, whut will you have?" “ We have business with your husâ€" band, madam. Will you ask him to step Outside?” “ My husband is not able to atiend to business to-night.” And everywhere by land or sea it mirrors sunbesms brightâ€"â€" It feasts with rich and verdant life the trav’ler’s raptur‘d sight, It glances in the dew drops, it Hing: in fall- mg ram, ' 1t sparkles in the ice-gem then liquifioa again ; It Ipreada a vain of golden lightfgacrossithe setting sun1 It weaves a gauze of purest white around the midnight moon ; ’ It sports in roaring cat’racti, in the glaciers Bleeping lies, It dances in the hall lhOWH‘, and in the snow storm flies. “Bub ouv‘bagainsss is: important and cazmot Wait?

The woman behind him seemed to rise and expand in the white heat of passion that possessed her. Her voice rose high and thrill : “ Woman, we havono time to handy words! let its pass!” “ And I say you shall not pass!‘ you that come, thirteen armed men, with ’Til in the glade and grassy dell Whom bounding-rod deer roam, W'hare Sportive children love' to play beside their cottage home; And down, low down in valleys deep, where fountains murmunng play, And silv’ry rifle in concert sing through all the liveâ€"long day ; No, ’tis not there G01 doth prepare the streamlet and the rill, N0 fountain pure can ever gush from out the retaking still ; ‘Whero is it, than, our father brews the water pure and free?

A stream oflightflushed out; but I caught no glimpse of those within. The dog, poor fellow, as though his canine spirit seemed to comprehend the fatal danger impending over those he loved, with drooling head and penehanbtail, slunk through the open space. She paused a moment, glancing swiftly around the circle of rough faces pressing close around her. The tableau within showed Lot crouching upon a low camp stool, pale, disorder- ed and shaking with terror,‘elasping in his arms his youngest born; the two girls, firm and fearless aswtheir mother, were planted at his ,knees, While between him and the door the tenâ€"year-old with a dilapidated chair rifle In an aim-21y two men had been stabbedâ€"«one seriously, and one fa- tally; and Let’s hand held a bloody knife.

An occasional sound came from the guarded cabin, but otherwisz all was still. past night had worn away, and in these calmer moments not one oftliose most eager for duty then but wished himself relieved from the painful res- ponsibillly devolving upon him. There was yet no Sign of life about the cabin. Never, 1 think, did the solemnity of the occasion appeal more forcibly to the hearts ofthe vigilantes. They were confident, terribly confi- dent that the prisoner would be found guilty. With voices subdued and quiet Aha" real weight of evidence against him He ‘iifted his head at tho sound of my voice, raised hi’s muzzle mourn- fully in the ai1*_.then di'()}’>i)ing it, ugainxwent on, soon disappearing in the adJacent Chaparral. At the first faint streak of day the Vigilantes lee-stirred themselves, and in knots discussed the grave business before them. The excitement of the “ Good lion 1 Poor fellow here I” I called. “ Does that man look like a cutr throat? Can you all, looking inside the cabin, tell me that you are afraid to spare him to his wife and children this one last night ?" A superb scorn overswept the we- man’s matures. Bending to touch the dog with her hand, the huge creature threw himself erect, angry and brisk ling, with lips drawn threatenineg back from his formidable teeth. Then boldly throwing open the cabin door, she pointed with uprnised finger, still holding the deadly weapon aimed full at the leader‘s breast. A scathing eon- tempt rang in her words: “ But this man has committed mur- derâ€"the gravest crime known in the eyes of the 121w. Public safety de- mands that we deal with him accordâ€" ing to the letter of the law,” expostu- 13th the leader, more moved than he cared to acknowledge. As she spoke, drawing with dexter- nus hand a Colt’s navy from the folds of her dress, she held it at full cock, hearing straight upun the leader’s heart.

The Adventures of a. Detroiter A Detroiter' named Andrew Stead- man, who buys cattle, went out to Nankin township the other day to buy a span of horses w :ich were wanted by a firm in the city. Upon reaching the farmer’s house he found that the man was working a mile away. To save the distance he cut across lots, but was warned befin‘e he started to look out for a savage bovine which had the run of a tenâ€"acre ileld. Thinking of’ how he was going to get that span of horses for , 0 less than their ‘alue, Steadman kept plmlding across the field, which had a strip el‘ bushes two or three rods wide ran ning half way across it. The Detroiter was about ten rods from the bushes when he heard “a distant thunder sound,” and looked around to see from which way the shower was coming. About thirty rods away he beheld the old bovine coming for him, head down, back up and eyes blazing. Stead- man went for the bushes. He thought the bull would start and run around the strip, and was startled when the Old fellow dashed through on his trail, uttering a deep “boom” every l‘JSlttnt. Steadman dodged this way and that, but the bovine tore along after him, smashing balm-i: and 1e: ping Iowa, and it was getting to he a redâ€"hot affair, when the man spied the open end of a large hollow log. The hull was not over forty feet behind, and into the log went Steadman, finding an orifice about twelve feet long, and large enough to be roomy. The bo‘ vine stopped at the log and ripped off a bushel of bark at the first da;â€":h. Then putting)r l‘liS horns under it he gave 1t a roll, and Steadman spun around like a dried pea in a police- man’s whistle. The log was large, but old and tender, and every time the bull hauled back and jumped for it, he covered himself with glory and clouds of bark and wood. Sometimes he whirled one end, and then he gave the center a heave, and then he knockâ€" ed a foot off the other end. Steadman swore, shriede and pleaded, his eyes full of. bark and his mouth stepped up, and every act of his life passed before him like a vision. “ Woo-h I Whoop!” bellowed the bovine as he slammed away at the log, and every moment Steadman expected to see the roof cave in upon him. He was in despair, when he heard the barking ofdogs and the shouts of men, and after a few minutes thegf‘armers sue- ceeded in releasing him, but it took a good hour to get the kinks out of his back and the rotten wood from his ears and eyesâ€"Detroit Free Press. Entering the cabin prison, a singu- lar spectacle presented itself. The committee stood in a dismayed group in the center of the cabin, while Lot’s Wife, stern and resolute no longer, bent over the huge dismantled carcass of poor Lion. Gone was the nerve, the passion and power which had the night previous supported and lifted her above her sex Plainer, more meager, if possible, than usual, there was yet something touching in her weaknessâ€"perhaps because it was so foreign to her nature. “Come and see I” and seizing me by the arm, commenced dragging me to- ward Lot's cabin. A sudden revelation came to me; Lot had committed suicide. “ \Vhat is it?” I asked, in astonish- ment; for his live‘y tone was any- thing but appropriate for the 00châ€" sion. A resounding slap upon the shoul- der nearly sent me reeling to the earth. “By the great Moses, that little Woman’s a brick I” \Vith a shudder '[ recalled the many times Lot had under the shadow of its branches, his children playing about his knees. Cris and George had followed at the heels of the other. With a. sickening sensation I await- ed what was to follow. A suggestive rope lay where it had been thrown, at the foot ot‘ a. neighboring tree. Just as the sun’s disk appeared above the horizon, three of the com- mittee advancing, knocked at the door. With eyes red and swollen with weepâ€" ing, Lot’s wife opened it wide. mien they awaited the action of. their leader, who humanely postponed to the last possible moment his official summons. SEPTEMBER 19, 1873 A letter to the San Antonio (Texas) Herald, gives the following account of a brush with Indians :-â€"â€"“I send herewith an account of a late Indian raid into Llano County. The Indians made their appearance at Moss’ ranch in Llano County, on the 2nd instant, and stole several horses, visited Llano town same night, stealing a number more; from Llano town they went to the camp of a Minute Company, and cut loose and took out of the camp one of their horses. The Minute Company, with a ter citizensâ€"all that could get off in timeâ€"pursued the In- dians to within a mile of the Schleiâ€" cher ranch in San Saba County, where they lost the trail. About the time: the pursuing party lest the trail the, Indians attacked three men who were herding cattle, and wounded one of them, Mr. Newton Philips, who has since died. After the Indians left Moss’ ranch, the Moss boys followed, but failed to find them, and returned home last Monday evening (the 4th.) On that evening, while some of the boys were at the pen milking, a cow came running up with an arrow stick- in: in her. On Tuesday morning the same boys, with five others, again took the trail, and after trailing over the country at least twenty miles, came to the Indian camp, on top of Pack-saddle Mountain, riding within twenty steps of the camp before the . Indians discovered them. The Indians were eating their dinner, having un- saddled and camped as regularly as could be. The boys commenced dis mounting, and firing at the sametime. The Indians returned the tire,'and a desperate fight ensued, eight men con- tending against at least fifteen Indi- ans, armed with \Vinchester, Henry, and Spencea rifles, and Within twenty steps. The Indians alter the first round were compelled to fall back, but ‘allied and charged the second time. They were again repulsed, although at the time of this second charge four of the whites had been wounded. The Indians were completely routed, and forced to leave their horses, fifteen or twenty in number, also quite a large number of saddles, blankets, shields, and one Henry rifle and pistol. They discharged no arrows. 'lIaving four men wounded, and the horses anu other things in charge, the boys could not pursue the red devils further. Of the men engaged, W. B. Moss is mor- tally wounded, Archer Martin seriâ€" ously, Eli Lloyd shot through the arm and across the wrist, and Pinkey Ayres received a flesh wound. Two dead. Indians have since been discovâ€" ered, one of which I saw scalpcd, being on the ground soon a’ter the fight.” The heavy rains of ’I‘hursday night caused afi'eshetin Colchester County, and did considerable damage to roads, bridges and dyke land. Tl’ie advent of the muchâ€"talked-of Shall of Persia has created an unusual intu 'est in the customs of his country. It is. singular, indeed, how little we really know about Persian manners and customs. The ’(rsiun tongue has long been the language of Oriental diplo- mists, and Persian etiquette is remark- able for its elaboration. Indeed, I’ersiz is now almost the only country where Or‘cntml etiquette i‘; kept up in all its ancient purity, All nun-ks or" respect are 0h 31"le by the Persians with the. utmost p11netiliousncsfi-i and exactitiulc.
