THE BROTHER'S REVENGE. A correspondent ot the Pbiladelpl la Press writes the history of tragedy on the Plains in the Far West!

Riding out above Julesburg, a rock was pointed out to me, at the foot of which bud been enacted a tragedy, the mere recital of which made my blood run cold. The place was in a deep canyon, surrounded by high bluffs, and there was a loneliness and silence in the frowning rocks that oppressed every visitor,

Hiid

made them glad to has

ten their departure from tne gloomy dell. Many years ago two young men came Iroin the East, and ascending the Missouri, engaged in the fur business. They were bosom friends, and prospered in all their undertakings money Qowed into their coffers and they became wealthy still th stayed in the West that had been so generous to them, and finally determined to make it their permanent home. One of the young men had a fair sister who lived at St. Louis, where the partners wont annually to sell their furs and divide theprodtsof their business. The girl, Infatuated by the tales of adventure told her by her brother, longed to visit the groat West, and begged so bard that her brother finally consented. For a whole year she lived at the hunter's ranehe on the head-waters of the Missouri, and when tt lime came lor the partner's to go down the river and sell their furs, the brother «ui Hick und could not go. The girl WHS loth to leave her brother, but be urged her to go home and see tlieir mother, suying he would soon be well and follow after her. Intrusting his darling to his fHend and irtner, the two net out in a Mackinaw l»oat, well mauned and provided with every comfort, The brothor grew worse and the summer wore jiway before he was able to travel. In the 'meantime the partner returned bringing him news from home and a division of the aunual profits, which were larger than ever before. The brother, pleused with the mauner in which their business had been managed, readily yielded to the suggestion of his partuer to delay his visit home, devote the winter to active operations, and go down in the spring with furs. All went well until midwinter, when the brother received a letter from his home that nearly crazed him. The letter was from his mother, and gave a long and circumstantial account of the •eduction and ruin of bis beloved Nina by his partner. The girl had con fessea everything, and told how be hud seduced her while bringing her home dowu the Missouri and then abandoned her. Toe poor girl unable to bear her shame, had become a maniac, and soon would be a mother. The first impulse of the brother on reading this letter waa to seek out at once and kill the villain who had ruined his family, bat he thought the momentary suffering inflicted by a ball was not enough punishment for such a scoundrel, and so devised plan of revenge that no Tndlan could nave outdone tor cruelty. Keeping the receipt of bis letter a pro* fbuud secret, ho went on with his business as usual, and every day met his partner on the same terms of friendly intimacy as formerly. When the skins were piioked and all in readiness to go down the river the brother went to Fort Benton and there executed a will, leaving the name of the

inally came to the ihey followed the

overland trail to Beuard's Ranche. Under some pretense or other the brother Induced his partner to accompany him Into the lonely pass, where, disarming him, he securely tied him hand and foot, and then bound htni to to the rook. At Aral the partner thought it waa some cruel Joke, but when the brother produced the letter and read it, the poor man knew bnt too well his time had come. He confessed all and aaked to be shot, bot the brother hid another fate iu store for his victim. Oooly encamping by the rock, he sat down to see his partner starve to death. On the third day the ill-tated man signed the deed bequeathing all his property to the Injured girl and the brother attached a fictitious name aa witness of the instrument, by the terms of which he was made the oxecutor of his partner's estate. He then wrote a letter saving he bad fallen Tory ill of fever on the Plains, and If he did not recover these would be delivered bv his beloved irtner. All this the Infuriated brother compelled the poor man to do, and then quietly awaited the end. Day by day the partner grew weaker aud the brother gloat-

ed over his misery, often reading to him the letter from his mother. The poor man promised to marry the girl and make all power to the fkinlly, bi waa deaf to entreaties. At laat the partner—dwindled to a skeleton—died, and the brother, after burying his victim's emaciated oorpee in the sand, resumed his Journey to St. Louis. Thf-re he gave out that his partner had died while on his way through the Rooky Mountain, and in proof or his assertion delivered the letters. The will was also proved, and the girl became the dead man's heir. Two years afterward the brother waa shot by Indians, and and before he died confessed what he had done. Some hunters visited the place and dog op the skeleton, aroand the neck of wblob still was the ohaln by which the poor man when living had been fastened to the fatal rock. The spot Is still polpted out to travel ers, and the tale told of bow the brother day after day eat his meals in the

MARK TWAIN ON WOMAN SUFFRAOE. Mark Twain tys that when women frame laws, the first thing they will do will be to enact: 1. That all men should be ait home at ten P. M., without fail. 2. That married men should bettow considerable attention upon their own wives. 8. That it should be a banging offense to sell whtaky in saloons, and thait fines and disfranchisement should follow in such placcs. 4. That the smoking of cigars to excess should be forbidden, and the smoking of pipes utterly abolished. 5. That the wife should have the title of her own property when she marries a man that hasn't any. "Such tvr.inny a*4his," says Mark, we could never stand. Our free souls could never endure such degrading thraldom. Woman, go away! Seek not to beguile us of our imperial privileges. Content yourselves with your little feminine trifles— your babies, our benevolent societies and your nltting—and let your natural bosses do the voting. Stand back—you will be wanting to go to war next. We will let you teach schools as much as you want to, and pay you halt price too but beware! we don't want you to crowd us too much." 't-

Aw ASTONISHED BISHOP.—The following Is told of Bishop £., of Massachusetts:

Visiting one of the churches of his diocese, he requested that the children of the Sunday-school should be assembled to be catechised. The good bishop put this question rather suddenly to the little boy who stood trembling at the bead of this class, "Who uipde the world T"

The little fellow, with quavering voice, replied: "I didn't." The shop, astonished at the answer, demanded: ''What do you mean, sir?"

Still more frightened, the lad replied: If—I—did—I—won't do—it—asiinl" —[Editor's Drawer, in Harper's &I alue for March.
