BARNABY'S CROSS. BY CHAS. A. , WITT.

Many years ago, when snch things as

railroads were an Hiiknown factor in com

merce, and" the transportation, of travelers

to and fro acre- the State of Illinois was the work of vehicles, Barnabv Hnnson was

one of tbe drtvera on that line of atageronte running from Vracennes, Indiana, to the then thriving town of St. Louis. To

make the trip was the work of about six

days, and, as a matter 01 connw. mission francht with more or leas

far the ronnlrv throne- which the stage-

line ran when first established was wild and im trammeled, and the great timber

belts and -ferowi prairies were marked by scarce a human habitation, save at inter

nals of toat forty miles, when stations had been fixed for the necessary change cf KnrooW ai- when some adventurous pioneer,

of the society of his fellow man, had wandered out into a fe of freedom from .,!-;., ast ia 1t found in a new

and unsettled country.

Mob- of the trip most hs made after

nightfall, in the warmer months, owing to (he enormous swarms of mosquitoes and

swamrM flies, which would, during te oay,

attack mas and beast fiercely, and whose

alines were so painful as to make it abso

lutely impossible to force the horses to their work. This night driving was the

danKrans from the fact that St.

Loois: was then infested with a gang of desperadoes whose lawlessness knew no limit, and whose boast it was that they were the tenor of the entire community. Several times had the stage been held up and robbed of the mail-bags, and loud were the complaints of the travelers who had been compelled to submit to the de

of the robbers, lime KUI1

drove on. Some of tUe passengers poohpoohed the idea, . whilo others seemed to believe there wight be something in what the driver said. But it did seem impossible

that an attack would bo made ou eight

all veil armed, and a bluff young

fellow exclaimed in a confident voice:

Til bet an even hundred thero isn't a

road-agent on the route to-night, and even

if there was they wouldn't stop us.

"Don't be too sure, young man,' re

marked an elderly gentleman whose dress and demeanor denoted contact with the rough edges of the world. "I have known

loads than this to be 'held up oy

one man. i tat one aon t reei uwiivBa- w slight the driver's warning,'' and he looked to the loads in his revolvers. The others, stimulated by the example of their elderly

companion, did the same, and it was soon evident that any one stopping that coach

would meet with a warm reception.

Barnabv had loosened the revolvers in

his belt to be ready for instant action, and gathering up the reins he cracked his whip

over the leaders nnd was off uko a roeitet. Mite after mile was traversed at almost break-neck speed. The night grew dark, and shifting clouds so obscured the moon's surface as to render that orb of but little value in distinguishing the trail. They

were now nearing the most dangerous

place on the road, Mnrdod-B Gap, about

ten miles from St. Louis, ana jus hbb-

ennld l seen the dim outlines of a huge

rook of sandstone, snch as is often found in the hills bordering the Mississippi flats, ;

forming an immense cross, jogged and : torn, yet to all intents a perfectly-proportioned cross. When just opposite this huge freak of nature a jet of flame flashed forth and the near leader fell

dead, killed by a rifle buUet, and a dozen men, led by the man who had been a passenger with therh, rushed out to surround the coach. .

But they were not to meet with an easy

victory. A revolver cracked in tne nanus of the elderly man, and a robber fell mortally wounded. Again and again came

whip-like reports showing that neither party were idle. Barnaby leaped from his seat to the back of one of the wheel horses, thence to the end of the tongue, and drawing his knife sovered the traces of the dead leader, and 'endeavored to regain Ins place! The frightened animals, released from the suenmbrance sprang forward with a bound, while a hail of lend rattled round them- Struck in the side by a ball Barnaby fell from the horse to the ground, dying, but with enough strength left to draw a revolver, and rising to his knees he had the satisfaction of seeing one of the robbers fall trom the effects of his shot. The conch vanished in the darkness, bat after running n mile the horses, completely winded, came to a stop. One of the passengers mounted the drivers' seat and headed them for St. Louis, when the

story of .the attack soon spread, and a

organized, spurred in tneir de

sire for revenge and justice by an addi

tional reward of $500 offered by ueorge

Leeson, whose daughters were delivered

over to his care, uninjured, but prostrated

with the fright they had received.

Painting up in largo letters on a piece of calico, "This way to Egress," ho hung it up at a convenient angle of his show. Some of the simple country people thinking "egress" was some strange new animal just added to the collection, passed through tho slit in the curtain, and to their amazement found thomsolves outside tho show.

dies of two large navy revolvers.

This reply did not serve to place the pas

sengers wholly at their ease, and all felt rebeved when, on the fifth day. ot their jo-mey, and only about forty miles from St. Lonis, (having made extra time by driv

ing long hoars,) he called to Barnaby and

said: "My man, I will get down here. My road; lies ever yon, and TUake the nearest way; bat I'll see yon again. Good day, gentlemen," and whirling npon his heel, before Barnaby could recover from his sarpnse enough to make a reply, he disappeared in some thick hashes that lined the roadside. Revolving in his mind the strange passenger's eondact, Barnaby became more than ever convinced that something was wrong. "How 1 wonder who that dam skunk is," he oloqrsd, as he drove onward. "That's been so many of them cussed "agents" about hyar lately that ye kan't tell an honest man when ye see him. like

as not thar'll be trouble 'fore I can git to

Saint looey. But I'll be ready for 'em,

and if tkey stops me some thin' is goin' to

drop, sure." Aboot nightfall the last station

mecbed. Horses were changed, rough re

freshments f ecured, and away they rattled

at a brisk peee for St. Louis. When dark

ness had folly settled down Barnaby

palled up his horses and jumping ont,

called the men from the coach and said:

"Gaits,' X believe that feller we left back

tknr means -mischief. Sown hyar about

fen miles is Mnrdock's Gap, a basd place,

and more 'n one stage has been stopped

thar. I've got the mail on board and she

am goin' through; besides that's the weemin', and if them road-agents gits hands on them, they'll handle 'em rough.

Have yonr gtms ready and if they try to top as, give tt to 'cm, and don't blame me

if we don't git to St. Louis to-night."

trt-.fM Sflein mow-tod the box and

them seem to enjoy the pastime. The favorite instruments of the gypsies are harp, the fiddle, tambourine, and tin whistle. Such apt pupils in music are

many of them, that if they had proper facilities and efficient tutors they would

be no disgrace whatever either to the

most eminent composers or to the most

accomplished musicians. In different

parts of Europe, particularly in Russia

and Hungary, many gypsies have become very popular as singers in cathedrals and churches, and have often been

employed to sing before princes and fashionable assemblies, both private and public. In Spain some of the

Gitanoa are theatrical performers, and

eases are not infrequent iu which they

have attained great efficiency and popularity. In Hungary, a writer relates of knowing several gypsy women who were popular as public singers, and one in

particular, whose voice was of suon re

markable sweetness that she was almost

constantly engaged in singing at con

certs given in the private mansions of the rich and noble for many miles

around, and for which she was always very munificently paid. - Brooklyn Magazine. HE KSKW, Judge "Well, prisoner, what makes you get drunk so? Prisoner Vy, uch Shudge uch moa'ly uch raosly whisky uch.

Wide-striped satins of rare quality

and patterns are very favorite materials

for evening toilets for young ladies. These striped gowns are mado without the ndmixtnre of any other fabric, with plain full skirts, but slightly draped over the hips and in tho back. The sleeves are half-long, and the pointed corsage is out out square in front, and V-shaped in the back, the openings filled in with n. chemisette of pleated crepe lisse or

of pearled Florentine net laid on smoothly. Instead of the diaphanous fabrics, however, a satin guimpo, pleated or embroidered, and matched to one of tho colors of tho stripe, is Terv often substituted. When this is
