O! may each carly‘pioneei_’ Sl The christian grace bestow, ’ And'find a brighter land than that Of forty years ago. ) A TERRIBLE REVENGE. - A gentleman, who has lately returned from Dallas, Texas, tells a story which is rather dramatic and may be true. - The story was told him by an old hunter, who had become domesticated and was lounging about one of the Dallas hotels. P

“I could tell you a great many. queer stories, stranger,” said the-old fellow in- conversation with™ the gentleman, “put I don’t know of any that 'ud be more likely to kind o’ strike you, than an experience of Sam Long’s in Harrison. county,. years ago. Texas was a tough place then, yon kin bet on that!” v 4 knd the old fellow: told the story which can scarcely beas graphic in print as in his terse idiom: Years ago, Harrison county, in Texas, was the haunt of about as desperate a gang of ruffians as ever infested any distriét west 'of the Mississippi.— Their number was so great and their organization so complete that they set the but half administered law at defiance, carrying.on a career of daring crime with impunity and making the regionl an undesirable place of abode for all honest citizens. Ostensibly hunters or horse traders, the desperadoes made stock-stealing their chief occupation, never hesitating to commit a murder when necessary for their safety, or for the execution of any of their rascally plans. The controlling spirit of this organization was a giant named Dick Redditt, who, from his exceptional ferocity and daring, exercised almost despotic control over his followers. A special pride in this man was his extraordinary skill in the use of a rifle, no one in the baand being able to compete with-hini in whdt ‘was at that time considered the chief accomplishment of a westérn man. G

It was a favorite practice with ‘the band to econgregate at some one of the few small stores seattered through the country and there engage in shooting imatehes, and it was upon one of these.occasions that Sam. Long, the hunter already mentioned, chanced to be present. : ™ Long was a. quiet, modest fellow, who lived with his wife.and child in a small cabin in the neighborhood, and who made hunting his constant occupation. He never appeaged.at the store save to exchange skins and furs for provisions and ammunition, and was widely and favorably known for his sobriety and honesty. Upon the occasion just referred to when Sam. Long chanced to coine while the desperadoes were engaged in one of their shooting matches, .it -was demarided of him that ‘he should take a part in the sport. The hunter hesitated at first, but finally, not wishing to incur’ the ill-will of the ruflians, consented. " lis skill with the rifle was knm\(n to be something remarkable, and the desperadoes’ were not greatly surprised when he defeated them all, save the leader of the band. This man had not engaged in the sport, but when Long had vanquished all the others, he came forward with the assurance of an easy victory. The shots were, made, and to the surprise of all, Long gained the day. The rage of the leader of the ruffians knew no bounds, at thus being defeated -in the presence of his followers, and, although refraining from any violence on the spot, he intimated darkly, to the -hunter, that he would yet “get even with him.” Long paid little attention to the threat, and soon afterwards returned to his cabin. .

At just dusk, some days later, Long having come in from a long hunf, was | lying on the floor of his cabin and playing with the child, while his wife was getting supper. The wife; busy with her cooking, asked Long to go to an adjacent spring and bring some water, a request which he promptly complied with, leaving his gun in the house, a somewhat unusual course with him. He had reached the spring, and was just stooping to fill the pail he carried, when he was borne down by an attack from behind, bound securely and dragged. some yards into ‘the woods.: When he recognized his, agsailants he knew what to expect. He - had fallen into' the hands of the Reddett gang, and the leader was about to “get even.” Long was stripped and. bound to a tree by order of the captain. A supply of hickory ‘switehes were obtained, and the captain took one of them up and began the whipping, announcing with an oath, that no man_could beat, him or it ol Mootiie Sof vy i e ~Was terrik N,:z\ ¢OB WAB Gl

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1875.

when the leader of the ruffianis had gratified his rage, others of the band continued the punishment. But one man among the number showed any mercy, and his assertion that Long had been punished enough, was received with derision. Finally the hunter fainted under the pain, and the | ruffians having satisfied their grudge, departed,. leaving the object of their spite still bound to the tree. In this ‘position he was found by his wife, ‘who had become alarmed for his safety, and who, searching for him, had been attracted to the spot by a faint moaning. She assisted him to reach the cabin, which he did with difficulty, and then nursed him faithfully to recovery. It was weeks before he was well enough to move about. : Scarcely had Long recovered from his wounds, when. his cabin was found deserted, and members of the ‘Reddett gang, thinking he had fled the ‘country, boasted openly -of what they had done. At the same time, they be‘came bolder than ever in the:.commission of crime, always hunting or traveling together in a company of between twenty and thirty, and defy‘ing attack from an(qua_rter. j ‘One day,.as they were engaged on a hunt, a member of the band became separated from the rest in -the excitement of the chase. He was found, ly- l ing dead, shot in the left eye. A few ‘ days later, oné of the ruffians, riding. alone, was killed. Again the bullet ~was found to have entered the' left] eve, but no tiace of the slayer could? be discovered.. A week or two passed;’ and another of the desperadoes was shot, the same terrible accuracy being exhibited in a shot'in the left eye, proving. «dll the shots to be from the same source. . The robbers became alarmed and kept glways together in their raids, but there was no escaping the death which seen.ed aiways to be lurking near them. One after another fell, until ten men had died, each one pierced in the eye. The woods were scoured by the- terrified men in vain. On one occasion, when'a member of the band was killed, the shot had been heard, and once a gaunt figure . was seen running through+the woods, but pursuit failed to overtake him. Accustomed- tp face danger as the desperadoes were, and possessed as they were of a brutal courage, they trembled before-this fnysterious danger. 1t could not be faced, and it could not be averted. " = - . , The' result- was that some of the band deserted and fled the region.— There remained. only the captain and four of the more resolute of his followers. These five hunted and made ‘their raids together, and for some time escaped harm. It chanced that. among the ﬁve(&vas the man who had endeavored to save L.ong, at the time of the whipping, from so severe a torture. This man, one morning ventured out-in the .woods without his comrades. - e ~was walking slowly along, looking for game, when the brown barrel of a rifle projecting from a bush beside him, checked his course. A tall, lank figure rose from a bush, and the startled man recognized Sam. Long, tlie hunter. long raised the rifle, then logvered it. » “Youre the man who said a good word for me, an’ you may - go,’bad as you are. - 1 won't take your miserable, fife. . Go¥* |. &l 17 17 P The man needed no second invitation to go.- He hurried to the camp. and told his story. The captain and the other. three men _started out in pursuit of Long, and but two accom-. panied Dick Reddett when he returned. The third man had fallen, shot in the eye, and no search of the underbrush revealed the hunter. The next dayanother man was killed in camp, and again the hunter escaped. On the next day the two: remaining men fled the country, leaving the fierce Reddett alone. The leader of the desperadoes dared not remain twwhere he was. He knew'he wds the man whom long sought above all others. 3 : Ly

Concealing himself until night, he mounted his horse and fled for the n‘ezlreﬁ‘t point on the Red river where it would be possible to take passage on a steamboat. /Two days later he reached a small landing ini the wood on the banks of the river, where the steamer stopped for passengers, when there were any to take. He learned from the occupant of the only cabin in. the neighborhood that the boat would be"down .in the aftermoon, and so, having.put up the signal to secure a landing of the boat, established himself on the bank and waited. He deemed himself safe enough from pursugt, and took no precautions.— Throwing himself on the ground he slept, until late in the day he was awikened by the sound of a boat in the distance. She would round the point in a moment or two, and he waited expectantly. As suddenly as though risenfrom the ground, a lank figure stood before him, and fhe muzzle ‘of a rifle peered into his face.— The 'terrified desperado had no dificulty in recognizing Lth’e nian as the one he had injured. ® With his rifle still held steadily upon the face of the startled Reddett, Long hissed out:, “I’ve got you! You whipped me! Whipped me like a dog! I swore I'd kill you before I'd call myself a man again, and I'm going to do it! T've cleaned out your band, and now it’s your turn! Oh I’ve got you! Thank God, I've got you!” . . The ruffian in abject fear pleaded for his life, groveling at the feet of the hunter. Ie clung to his words as a drowning man ciings to straws. The boat was very near. » Should she round the point in time he would be saved! Already hér smoke stacks showed through the brush, when the hunter pressed the trigger, the sharp report rang out, and Reddett fell dead, shot to the brain through the left eye. TLong slipped away in the woods, and when the boat stopped, in response to the signal, they found a dead man, but no one else. Harrison county was rid forever of the worst gang of ruffians in the south-west. =~ .

“An’ that, stranger,” said the old man in the Dallas hotel, “is a true story of the way Sam. Long settled accounts with the blackguards.” e ] < ERp—— : " No Discount for Fools. i A sharp-nosed woman with irongray hair called at the Grand Trunk ticket office yestepday, and after buying one ticket to Port Huron she asked the agent: : { “Say, can’t a fool ride for half-fare ?”. “How old is he?” asked the agent. “Fifty-three.” : S “No, madam; you will have to buy a full ticket.” o . “And you won’t throw off?”” ' “Coulden’t, madam.” She went around’ to the other side of the office, where her husbantl sat on -a trunk, and reaching out for mo(Le money, she said: g : ; “Stop looking cross-eyed, and give me the cash, for -we can’t discount a cent’s worth:”—Detroit Free Press. .~ Away down in Uruguay, sSouth America, they are suffering from too «g‘ff‘ﬁ fx.va ”;: ‘;r:\.’(f::‘ébJ ok *,,, et

' KIDNAI;?ING A BRIDE. . o v BY EARNESTINE HAMILTON. : Henry Murray, a young man of 24 years, tall and manly, was riding a spirited horse through a lonely .part of the State of New York toward thé metropolis, whence he expected soon to depart on a grand tour through Enzopes . - .. | . Wrapged in meditation, he heeded naught tntil he heard a long, loud ery, full of suffering, and looking around hastily he saw himself directly before an old brown farm-house, from which the cry proceeded.. He listened; it was repeated, together with loud, angry tones, and the young man with one bound sprang from his horse and entered the open-door. A stout, redfaced woman was cruelly ‘beating a young girl, whose slight form shrank from every blow. His looks of indignation only served to increase the ire of the woman. .° -

“Stop, I command you!” eried the young mAam. 4. . : A look, half. of fear, half defiance, rested on the® woman's face as' she said: “I’ve a right to treat her as I please, I guess, for all a stranger.” “She isn't my mother,” sobbed the girl, gliding to Henry’s side for protection. “Say that again, will you ?” exclaimed, the woman, furiously, at the same time advancing with her heavy ridingwhip uplifted. i ' “Save me! save me!” she cried in terror. ol : ~ “Fear not, you are safe,” returned Henry, in a reasoning tone, and turn~ ing ‘to the woman said, “Madam, if she 'is your child, how comes it that you are destitute of«every matural feeling 2" : ' “I didn’t say she was mine; she's my husband’s, ‘and. T’ll treat: her as I please,” returned the woman, doggedv

. “Where is your husband ?” he asked. “Father’s gone away, a great ways,” sobbed the child. B

“Who told you to speak, I'd like to know, miss? but I'll soon settle with you,” she added, shaking the whip significantly. 2 5 - “When do you expect your father?” he asked of the girl. :

“To-morrow.. Mother doesn’t treat me so when father’s here,” she said clinging closer to his coat. . “At least when he’s sober,” she added. . Henry reflected for a morment that he migh} be making matters worse, and if the father would return soon, he had better leave them, and he said to_the woman, “Madam, remember there comes the judgment, and what will your sentence be if you continue to erush the spirit of this dear child, ilnd—f” g 1

“None of your business!” retorted the woman. “Don’t leave me! I hate her! She will kill me!” eried the child, passionately clinging to his coat as he turned to depart. - A sudden thought then struck him. “Will you go with me?” he asked, kindly, . - ’ § “Oh yes, take me with you! she will kill me when you are gone ?” Henry gathered the child in his arms, and saying “good morning,” cooly, he took the child and placed her on the saddle before him. He bowed to the enraged being, who ran screaming -to the gate tnt she was too late, and the horse went swiftly on with its doubie burden, while 'the woman, vowing vengeance, ran inté devise some way of pursufng them. !

The strangeness of the occurrence suddenly ‘flashed over Henry’s mind, and he became aware of his own imprudence, and the thought that he might have incurred the penalty of the law, made him uneasy. = - . “Whose house is that ?” he asked, to divert.his thoughts, as he entered the suburbs of a beautiful little country village. - . “’Squire Morton’s; he’s ‘a magistrate,” answered his little protege.. With a sudden resolution he alighted, and taking the little bare-headed girl, entered the open door;and asked: for Mr. Morton. e “I am he,” answered a portly man, advancing. : : e . Henry -told him all the circumstances, and found that he was indeed liable to imprisonment for “kidnapping.” : - “What can I do? Surely not return her to her step-mother.”. : “You might marry her,” said the magistrate. S ;

“How old are you?” asked Henry, of the girl. . j = “Fourteen to-day.” “Good in law,” said the old magistrdte. - o S

*“Will you marry us?” asked Henry, glad tofget out as easy as that. “No, I won’t, but get some parson; I wish not to offend the girl’s father, who is a troublesome fellow, though I pity the girl.” - ' 1 “Can you direct us to a minister ?”. “You will find one at the next door. Betty may call him in.” = = Henry took the young girl aside, and asked her consent, telling her that otherwise she must return to her mother; the child gratefully accepted his offer, and in a few moments more Nellie Brown and Henry Murray were man and wife. : :

Immediately after the cereniony Henry procured his bride a bonnet and shawl, and they resumed their journey. = They rode all night in the cars, and-the next day were near the metropolis. Nellie was weak and tired after her long and wearisome journey, and it was the second after--noon ere they alighted on the broad steps of a fashipnable boarding-school. It was the last day of June, and madame was surprised at receiving a pupil the day after the school was dismissed; but Henry gracéfully®apologized, and said to her: - “I am going to Eurbdpe, and shall leave my ward behind. I shall be happy to leave her in your establishment, assured that her interests will be well cared for. Madame Wilson will remember that I had once a cousin under her charge.” v “Annie Murray! Ab, yes, I remember; she was a favorite pupil,” and madame smoothed her black silk dress ‘complacently. . ; ‘ v 14T hope Miss Nellie Murray will receive your kindest care.” : “Be agsured she will, sir;” but madame gave a glance at the brown elfin locks, at the plain calico dress, thought, “Can she be a Murray? She will be a disgrace to me.” But she changed her opinion when she saw the full purse that he placed. in-her hand for clothing to be procured for his ‘ward, and when she knew that Nellie possessed such another. They parted, and that was the first real look ‘ Henry had of his bride’s face. . “I must say ‘farewell’ now, Nellie; keep our marriage a secret till I ree Waoseo et “Shan’t I wear the rin%z” whispered Nellis, as she turned the golden circlet uround ber finger, .~ . ~ “Yes, you will never take it off, my ‘d“ - Thinl ?“-,_.’EZ'S:%'?A*?'J‘-'-V' nd. Y T SOy O R S N

. When again school -opened, Nellie, who was now quiet and self-possessed, watched with intense interest for her who was to share her room. One young lady who came at the close of the first school-day, proved to be the. one, and as Nellie gazed at her, she felt that Julia Stanley could never be a dear friend and confident to her. Julia was fifteen, taller than Nellie, with blue eyes, light hair, and pretty features, with: not moreithan a tithe of the expression which rendered Nellie so beautiful. ! . - The first commencement day came, and Nellie outdid herself and mates; yet there was no eye to look on in approbation, or kindle with pride at her triumphs; sheé was alone. Then came a letter fromr Europe, from Henry himself, containing a jeweled locket, with his miniature. What a comfort it was to Nellie! how often she gazed upon the semblance of that noble countenance and wept tears, many and of mixed emotions! Julia found one day that she possessed this locket, and was determined to obtain it;-one night, when: Nellie lay asleep, Julia gentiy unclasped it, and gazed long within it. Shedid not restore it, and Nellie grew pale and 'sadsfor its ‘loss. A few weeks after she awoke one morning and found it on her bosom. Joy almost overcamie her, but she could only conjecture from whence it came. - .

It was almost. two years when there came a watch, small and studded with costly gems, with‘a golden chain of exquisite - workmanship, from the wanderer to Nellie. She became more than ever an object of ‘wonder and admiration to her school friends, who seemed to think her gifted with Aladdin’s lamp, or the cap ‘of Fortunatus. : : 5

All the months Nellie had spent at Rockdale Seminary had been filled with yearnings for sympathy, even as her. whole' life had been. True, she received affectionate letters from Henry, but they began, “Dear child,” or in some such manner, not recognizing "in her a right to womanhood and the love he should lavish on‘a wife. She knew why he married her;! and she resolved to win his love, to’ become such a woman as he would be proud to own. ' : . The last day of commencement had come, and it was. Nellie’s sixteenth birthday. She was to read an original poem, and as she stood on the stage, she entranced all by the beauty of her thought, the force of her expressions, as well as her own lovelimess.;. Her form was slight, of medium height, with her face full of sensibility. There was a pure, radiant look on her handsome face, and her eyes flashed with thought and feeling, as-noble as uncommon to most girls of her age. Henry Murray, though unknown, was among the spectators, and though he had seen' beauties of all descriptions, yet-he yielded. his heart to this unknown girl. -~ ITe now for the first time regretted his marriage, for he felt that it would be an insurmountable barrier to any acquaintance with this peerless beauty. . He entered the parlor after the poem was concluded, and dispatched a servant for Miss Murray. He paced the room till he heard a light step in the hall: turning, he saw the young poetess. : ' : “Pardon me,” said he, “is Miss Murray here?” - : i “I am she,” said. Nellie, demurely. “Nellie!. My wife, my own Nellie!” And she was clasped in' his arms and her pale face placed against his bronzed cheek. s o . Some of the school-girls entered, among others Julia Stanley, who failed to-recoghize in the bronzed and bearded man the hero of -the locket. They saw with. surprise the head of Nellié on this stranger’s breast, but the head was not lifted even when Madame Wilson entered the room. “Miss Murray, I am “shecked; are vou not aware thatit is very improper for your head to.lie there, even if he is your guardian? 'He is too young for such familiarities; come with me,” said" Madame Wilson, with some agperity. < <ol ;' The pugpils in the hall gathered in, ‘but . still Nellie’s head lay on Henry’s ‘breast, and when she strove to raiseit he gently held it there. = .

“Madame Wilson, is'it not natural that Mes. Murray should welcome her husband with affection after such a long separation?” - i rid “Nellie married! Impossible!” ' “Not. at all, madame. Nellie was my wife when I brought her here. 1 thank you for your care of her. Nellie,” he said, “get ready to leave now.” Nellie glided away, and soon returned prepared to accompany her. husband to his city home. The leavetaking was brief but*affectionate between herself and companions, and in a few minutes she was seated by her husband’s side, while the horses heads were turned towards their homes. Nellie had never dared communicate with her éhildhood’s home up to this time, but she soon learned that her father’s intemperate: habits had cost him his life. As to her own future, it was one of peaceful and abundant happiness. ,

At this critical moment, when all eyes were on the speaker, anxiots for him to proceed, and straining every mental nerve to hold the connection between the premises and what was to follow, a large, dark-visaged Deacon Tose from his seat on the pulpit stairs, walked to the side of Dr. Fowler, and with the most woe-be-gone expression on his honest face, broke out: “I tink it’s too pad to be so inderrupted ; Doctor, I'guess if we sing a kubble werses dey ‘will got guiet.” The audience broke foith \into an audible smile, in which the Doctor heartily joined, but in a few momqnts’ there fell a calm, ‘and the ‘speakeér proceeded with his sermon. -\ =

- To properly describe his sermon is wholly beyond my capacity, and hence I shall not attempt it. - Dr. Fowler must bé heard to be appreciated. A man of medium stature, compact form, with a very slight tendency to robustness; a ‘pleasant countenance, nf’twithstanding his erooked mouth and irregular: nose, making his profile wholly unlike from whichever point it is viewed; broad, bpen‘_fdr:eh'e d, long, wavy hair, and eyes of a peculiarly inward expression, he'imbres es the casual observer as a man of profound thoughtfulness rather than a ‘brilliant or fluent orator. “IHe may be a fine scholar, and hence his position, but I doubt if hé is much of a preacher,” is the first thought that follows the:first glance. He commences his sermon with slow and measured utterances, in the most prosy convers\ational tone, and just as.the novelty of the . peculiar shape of his'mouth and nose ‘céases't_o attract attention, he flashes out into the bright sunlight of ‘eloquénce and’ oratory. - Every ges‘ture becomes finmixed grace; every sentence sha-r;/,-l clear-eut, chaste and elegant; every intonation of his voice accords melodiously with the grand ‘aud beautiful sentences he utters. His ‘whole _sermon ' abounding with the most enchanting of imagery and the ‘grandest of illugtrations until the man and his oddities are lost sight of in the boundless realm of thought to which' his eloQuence and argument haveled you. = ' = : i

- T have had the good fortune to hear some of the gréatest orators and divines of America, but none whose “gifts divine” in the field of eloquence and oratory so fully met my bean ideal of perfection as Dr. Fowler. I wishl could convey the feintest conception of the man and his manner, but I can’t, my climbing down experience has sapped my enthusiasm. HOW TIHEY RUSH THINGS IN MINNE- : .

By the Fashion Editress of the Baltimore Sunday : v ews. : I . Fall sacqnes are longer than those of last season, though very little' changed in shape or trimimings. =~ = .- Cock plume ruching for trimming dresses ;and hats will be used again tifis winter.. Very expensive and very perishable. :

Silk handkerchiefs with ' ‘colored borders.are now all the rage, used instead of linen onall oceasions, either for house'or stréet; - -" o i F

| The lower skirts for this season are trimmed very much'the same as of last . season, with puffs, pleatings and shirs . rings. & iy ~5; Among the latest French importas . '= tions, we find the polonaise which'is buttoned up behind. This is indeed ég a new and novel feature of the season, = Refined sets in lingerie, collar and cuffs, show .old-fashioned hemstitching, done by hand; and handkerchiefs ' in the same style are very pretty and - ‘desirable. ge i Shate The same. shades in glov?f worn last season will be worn this, the most stylish . being the three or four - buttoned, though the two. buttons, . ! will be worn also. s e

Calicoes are now coming in in the same ‘patterns as woolen goods, blacks, cross-bars and in bias plaids, as well - as plain ones. The imitations are pers” fect, and they wash well. f .

Cardinal red- is :again conspicuous, appearing not only .in silks, but in flowers and feathers, and is Tivaled by the introduction of several new shades in red, which will be largely used.

. Many of the birds nsed on the'hats {this season are quite large, and all varieties are poised on the fronts and backs of the hats to look as natural - as possible, some even appearing as if - just ready for flight.
