•'ME'lND MY PAL.

A TALE OF THE CUBAN REBELLION. I* 'x" .jj, *-M*

My awociates through life Iiave been many and yarious. I have hobnobbed with "noblemen," and I have fraternized with grooms, game-keepers, jockeys, trainers and touts. But of all the strange companions into whose society I have ever been thrown by a perverse fate, or whose companionship 1 have Bought from what my friends are pleased to denominate "a taste for low life," the person I am going to tell you about was par excellence —the strangest and most inscrutable am going to tell a tale without a hero. Its lead -ing gentleman' (if such a term be applicable) is alluded to in my title under 'the first person singular, nominative case—me' (Mr. Squeers is my authority for this grammer) and the indentity of myself—moi qui vous parle—is merged in the endearing epithet of 'my pal.' This is rather perplexing but as the whole title forms an expression which constantly fell from the revered lips of 'me,' when, in the intervels of professional discipline, he had occasion to allude to the unworthy narrator, 1 have chosen to preserve it in its entirety, in memory of the most extraordinary man lever met.

His name was Jonas Baxter, and he was the most intrepid, desperate and skillful burglar that ever laughed at Scotland Yard, or goaded the New York police to anger by his sublime indifference to the terrors of the Tombs.

At the time of which I write (very recently) he had long been an absentee from England, having 'quitted his country for his country's good,' and arrived in New York via Australia When njy story opens, Mr, Baxter appears before the public as a filibuster, and the writer, tired ui doing nothing, had also taken service under the 'Lone Star' flag, and was appointed second in command of the expedition which had the honor of numbering that true patriot Mr. Baxter, in its ranks.

I was ignorant, however, of the greatness thrust upon ine by his enrollment in my command until the day after we had left New York. The rank and file of the exp dition vere, as may be supposed, a mixed lot, Cubans, Swedes, Germans, Irish, Danes, Irish-American, Yankees, a very few English and no Scotch.

Of these the most unruly and the most thorougly brutal were the Irish-Ameri-cans—The sweepings of New York, the very 6cum of the Bowery One of these fellows was standing, half drunk, under the break of the poop, indulging in a string oi hue!'1, awfully blasphemous oaths as can only be heard in tha

l,down

town" spirit

ituios ot New York or Chicago. I could io ice tne intense annoyance, almost ter ror, of the commandant's witc (a Cuban lady), who was on the poop, unable to escape beyond ear shot, and I accorliiitfly oidered the ruffian to go forward. lEx-.-'ed '.) whiskey, IVJ turned on me, in ntrew..d sua. flowers of speech, in

Bowery .uyot, on uiy head, that, lax as jur difcipiine wi liie men was, I was )ound to punish hun. and 1 accordingly jnlcred him to be confined. Immediatedrawing his lonniij&blc knife, the ras:al (as the Yankees saj) 'went for me.'

WAS standing oil tlie after hatch quite inarmed, having .left tny sword and pistols in the cuddy, and, providentially, as ,\e hurled himself on to me, his foot tripled on the combings of the hatchway, knd he fell almost at my feet, the murder bus weapon aimed at my breast just grazing my thigh. He was up again in En instant, with arm uplifted for a second and more fatal stab, when a crack [ike the smash ot' a carriage panel was peard, and Private Felix O'Gorman propped with a fractured skull on the neck before a blow from a handspike Vielded by Mr. Jonas Baxter, burglar knd Cuban patriot. There was no misfaking the man's nationality for the mo jnent, even before he spoke. Such coriuroy6 (may I adopt the .vernacular, and fay "kicksees?'') were never made nu ot Whitechapel and when he said in [he drawling, quiet tone so common to lis kind, that he'd be blessed if he'd see [he captain bested by a Fenian, my nem»ry flew back over the Atlantic I vas again in Regent street at 4 p. in. on 1 sunny afternoon in May, and the pervasive chant of Buy a leetle, dawg, capain?" once more rang in my ear®.

Scoundrel though the man might be, he vas an Englishman, and he had saved ny life and my heart positively warmed him as I gave his hand a grip that nade the big knuckles crack, and swore hat I'd stand bv him to the end of the

At wyi1eiuest) Colonel D'Olivarez [iiade the extirpated "cracksman" a Serjeant—an accession of fj nk with which ie was hugely pleased, entering oa his fulies with all the glee of a child.

Mr. Jonas Baxter was good enough to Express his approval of my being an Englishman, and to favdr me with several episodes of his extremely checkered paijecr, some of which may prove amusing to my readers. In justice to this :fiiid of fortune, I should, however, menlion hat with his garb and cockney ac-:.-n his likeness to the stereotyped bur»lar ceased. His' face was not that which ha9 been rendered familiar te us the pages of Punch as that of the genleman who per forms the office of "the lasty man" in garroting circles. On the xmtrary, had Mr. Baxter been intro iuced into society clad in garments built

Saville Row, and been bidden to hold lis tongue, no superficial observer could lave distinguished him from the mo6t slase frequenter of the Burlington Arcade save by the massive squareness of his 'ower jaw, and the coarseness of his firm inuewy hartds.

But let him speak for himself- 'I saved our life, cap, and I am glad I have done I. I only wish I had a pal like you in business.'

Feeling that a compliment was implied made bold to ask him what was his usiness. 'Well,' he replied with a reluctance for hioh I could not at once account, 'I pen safes and—and houses. Come with _e,' he added with real zeal, 'and 1*41 how you as I'm no duffer.' So saying, dived 'tween decks, myself following, where he opened a small brass bound fbox, and disclosed to my antonished gaze a 'jimmy.' a small saw of exquisite work manship, a center bit, and a small quan tity of other tools, the names of which it rould puzzle me to recollect. And then added. 'In the bank at P—— are $6, 000,000 in gold. Let's fight till we get there, and then let's turn up patriotism and go straight for the bank.' 'Bat,' I said, the cause—sacred cause

Cuba, Sergeant Baxter.' •Oh,' said he, 'that's all played out.' With artless candor Mr. Baxter in

formed me that his project had not orig-, inated in his own brain, but had been conceived by one of the largest speculators in New York, and confided to the joint execution of some four or five gen tlemen of burglarious habits—among them my model sergeant, but he, with true nobility of soul, had resolved to prevent the dissensions that would probably arise from the division of the spoil by anticipating their arrival in the land otpiomise, and, as he expressed it, 'taking the whole pile.'

And that,' said he, glancing with disgust at the tun«c he was altering to fit his burly figure, 'is the reason you see me faked out in these here togs,'

Mr. Baxter sought to increase the ardor for house-breaking with which it had pleased his fancy to invest me by telling me of his past achievements. 'Do you remember,' said he, 'when the D—mail was robbed of £60,000 in specie?' 'Twas I that did it. Seventy-four times did I travel down first-class by that very train from Victoria Station before I got the chance I wanted. There were four of us in it, and a' very few more journeys would have broke us for what with railway fair, cigars from Pontet's, and brandy, such as Baron Rothschild drinks, at seven and twenty shillings a bottle, for the guard, it cost us a tidy bit before we landed. My pal he got seven years, he did," he added reflectively, '•but he was a fool, he was."

Twas I,' he said proudly, 'who discovered how to split the Bank of England notes by placeing them between steel plates covered with a strong cement, to which each surface of of each note adhered, so that each half formed a perfect note, almost imperceptibly|thinner than the entire one. I should have made a fortune, then,' he sighed, 'only, while I was passsing the notes at £160 a day and often more, at Tatersall's, my partner he went to the Bank and rounded on me, he did,' 'Did you ever commit mur—. That is, did you ever take a human life?' I asked him one day. 'Never but once.' said he, 'and that was in self-defense. I had cracked a crib alone up on Sixth avenne, near the Central Park, and I was making my way down toward the rivfer, with a basket with the swag in it on my arm, when I came full-butt on to a policeman His revolver was out in a moment, but I was as quick as himself and as his bullet whistled through my hat, mine went through his brain. I heard afterward that he was the best shot on the force but on that night his own revolver being out of order, he borrowed that of a brother officer, which threw a little high and he was not aware of it, or I shouldn't here now telling you my adventures.'

Thus the voyage passed away, each day leaving me more astonished at the ex traordinary mixture of good and .evil in this man's character. He never gambled, or quarreled, or drank, and seldom ever swore, but for cold he hungered and thirs ed He used to dream ol it all ight, he told me, and by day certainly hi-only theme was gold and its acq .i .ition. On this point I am sure he was a monomaniac For the paper currency of the United States he had the greatest contempt. The yellow metal itself was his darling and even while conversing he would keep nervously twisting in hi6 strong, sinewy fingers a great twenty dollar gold piece, which I am sure no privations would have induced him to change. But to the very last moment of his life—for I regret to say that poor Mr. Baxter,as you will hear, "died in his shoes"—my property was 6afe his eyes. When my* watch was appropriated by of the enlightened patriots under mv command, they had a very rough time of it between-decks until my indignant sergeant recovered the missing property, and gave the unlucky thief such practical homily on the tenth commandment as I atn sure he never forgot and when subsequently our privations rendered the men so desperate that they stole and fought for each otner's food, my ration always remained intact in the watchful care of poor Jonas Baxter.

I am not writing a history of the Cuban Revolution, and so I will pass over all the details of my campaigning in the_ Island, merely remarking that the men proved amenable to no discipline, and that they fought independently, as only reckless, desperate men, innured to bloodshed and the sight of death in every form, could fight As for Jonas' Baxter, he was a host in himself. Every day's march brought him nearer the goal for which he panted. His precious tools, I was well aware, were concealed in his knapsack and when he pillowed his head upon it at night, woe betide the man who should attempt to deprive him of one of those aids to boundless wealth. But, a as 1

"the best laid schemes ot mice and men (Jang aft agley." Mr. Baxter did reach and so did I but it was as prisoners, of war, taken in arms against the Spanish government, and with a pretty acute perception that scant courtesy from our captors would be afforded us.

We were lodged with other prisoners in a large cell in the town jail, which occupied one side of the* principal place, and from the closely barred window we could see the very bank that had lured my poor, covetous comrade to his doom. He was almost grand in the sublimity of hi9 des'Six million dollars in gold?'

pair. thought ot Napoleon at St. Helena, But though his dearest hopes were frustrated and all chance of escape denied him, he behaved With a gamettess ana pluck have rarely seen equated, never surpassed. I had been wounded, and was in very weak and languid state—not improv ed by the thought that I had been rather a fool to get into such a mess for no reason at all—and to procure me some little comforts (of which he persistently reiued to partake) this hardened thief parted with his be loved twenty-dollar piece. Neither of us supposed Vor a moment that our

flivcs

would be spared, and though I escaped (how and why need not be detailed here) not many days had elapsed before our arrival in when they took poor Jonas Baxter out to be hanged. The gal lows were erected in the large place on which our windows looked, and, led by a horrible fascination, I drew near to it, and watched the awful proctedings 'Good-by, captain,' said he as they led him out 'though I'm to swing, I'm right clear. but again, just trunk, six millions dollars gold!' And away he went, his irons clanking heavily, but his demeanor ks unconcerned as if he were merely going to smoke a pipe with his friend Mr. Sykes, of Tiger's Bay.

He died as he had lived defiantly. His last breath was used to chaff his ex ecu doners and beg them to make haste,

he "had an appointment for which he did not wish to be too late and as the drop fell and his body swung, slowly round, now facing his beloved bank, and now turning the swollen, blackened face towards the jail, I am not ashamed to confess that bitter tears rolled down my cheeks tor the sad fate of the poor reprobate who was what crime and criminal laws had made him, but who, under different circumstances, might have been worthv of a bet'er end.
