A TEXAS HUNTER'S A gentleman who has lately return ed from a visit to Dallas, Texas, tolls a story which is rather dra- matic. The story was told to himbv an old hunter who had become domes ticated and was lounging about one of the Dallas hotels. "I could tell .you a good many tieer stories, stranger, said tne old fellow, in conversation with the arentleman, "but I don't know of any that 'ud be more likelj- - to strike on than an experience of Sam ong's, in Harrison .Con n ty, years ago. 1 exas was a rougn place men ; ou can bet on that!"" And then the old fellow told the story. jw r4!j aa graphic in print as in ' his terse diom: Years ago " Harrison - County,- - in Texas, was the haunt or about as desperate a gang of ruffians as ever infested any district west or tne Mis sissippi. Their rumber was so great and their organization so complete that they set the but law at defiance, carrying on a career of daring crime with impuni- ty, and making the region an unde- sirable place of abode for all honest citizens. Ostensibly hunters or horse-trader- the desperadoes made stock-stealin- g their 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 in this desperate organization was a giant named Dick Reddctt, who, from his exceptional ferocit3'-an- daring, ex- ercised almost despotic control over his followers. A special pride of this man was in his extraordinary skill in the use of the ritle, no one of the band being able to compete with him in what was at that time considered the chief accomplishment of a West- ern man. It was a favorite practice of the hand to congregate at some one of the few small stores scattered through the country and there engage in shooting-matche- s, and it was on one of these occasions that Sam Long, the hunter already mentioned, hap- pened to be present. Long was a quiet, modest fellow, who lived with his wife and child in a small cabin in their neighborhood and who made hunting his constant occupation. He never appeared at the store save to exchange skins and was favorably known for his sobriety and honesty. Upon the occasion just referred to, when Sam Long chanced to come while the desperadoes were engaged in one of their shooting-matche- they wished him to take part in the sport. He hesitated at first, but finally, not wishing to incur the ill will of the ruffians, consented. His skill with the rifle was known to be something remarkable, and the des- peradoes were not greatly surprised when he defeated them all save the Captain of the band. This man had not engaged in the sport, but wher Long had vanquished all others hi came forward with the assurance cf an easy victory. The shots . weK made, and, to the surprise of al, Long gained the day. The rage of the leader of the rif-fia- knew no bounds at thus beilg defeated in the presence of his and, although refraining frm any violence on the spot, he intima- ted to the hunter that he would "jet get even with him." Long paid jit-tl- e attention to the threat, and scon afterward returned to his cabin, f At just dusk, some days later, Sara was lying on the floor of lis cabin playing with his child while lis 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 gnn in the house, a somewhat un- usual course with him. He reached the spring and was just stooping to fill the pail which he carried, when he was borne down by a sudden "at- tack - from behind, bound seenfely, and dragged some yards in the woods, When he recognized his as- - sailants lie knew what to expect He naa ianen into me nanls of the Red dett gang, and the leader was about to "get even with him." ixing was stripped aua bound to ireeipvoraeroiuieiispiain. a ply of hickory switches was obtained. and then the Captain took one mem ana oegan the whipping, an nouncing with an oath that no man could beat him or his men at ingand stay in the country. The suffering of the victim was terrible. The flesh was cut from his back in strips by the blows, and when the leader of the ruffians had gratified his rage others of the band con ti n 1 tne punishment. But one man among the number sh iwed any mer cy, and his assertion that Long had been punished enough was received with derision. Finally the hunter fainted under TtfiVpain, and the ruffians, having satisfied their grudge, departeL.Ieav- - !ntt f Iia jtlitns.f rf tlin!. a.;,c- - l I . to the tree. In this position he was found by his wite, who had become alarmed for his safety, and who, searching for i hatl been attracU;d to the spot ny a taint moasiug. She assisted hnu 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 abont Scarcely had Long recovered from his wounds when his cabin was found leserted, and members "of the Red dett band, thinking he had fled from the country, boasted openly of what they had done. At the same time they became bolder than ever in the commission of crime, al ways hunting or traveling together in a company between twenty and iniriy anu nerving attacK from any quarter. One day as they were engaged on a hiiHt a member of the band became separated from the rest in the excite- ment of the chase. He was found iying dead, shot in the left eye. A few days later one of the ruffians riding alone, was killed. A-ai- the bullctwas found to have entered the left eye, but no trace of the slayer coold be discovered. A week or two passed and another of the despera- - does was shot, the same terrible ac- - curacy being exhibited in a shot in the left eye, proving all the shots to be from the same source. The robbers became alarmed and kept always together in their raids, but there was no escaping the death which seemed always to lie lurking near them. One after another tell, u B til ten men had died, each one scoured by the terriiiert men in vain. Oir one occasion, when a member of the band was killed, the shot had been heard, and once a gaunt fellow was seen running through the woods, but pursuit failed to overtake him. Accustomed to face danger as the desperadoes were, and possessed as tuey were of brutal courage, they trembled before this mysterious dan r . ...... ... ger. it coma not De iacea ana 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 followers. These five hunted and made their raids together for some time without harm. Among the five was the man who had endeavored to save Long at the time'of the whipping from so sc ore a torture. This man, one morn 1 ng, ventured out in the woods with out his comrades. He was walking slowly along, looking for game, when tlie brown barrel of a rifle projecting irom a uumu ucsmc nun cuccKeu nis course. A tall, lank figure rose from the bush, and the startled man rec- ognized Sam Long, the hunter. Long raised the rifle then lowered it "You're the man who said a good word for me an you may go, bad as you are. 1 won t take your misera ble life. Go!" The man needed no second invita- - tion to go. He hurried to the camp and told the story. The Captain and the other three men started out in pursuit of Long, and but two men ac companied Dick Reddett when he returned ! 1 he third man had fallen. mot mine eye, ami no searcn oi me nncierorusn reveaiea me nunter. . . iue next uay anoiuer man was killed in camp and again the hunter jscaped. On the next day the two remaining men tied the conntry, Icav- - ing the fierce Reddett alone. The leader of the desperadoes dared not remain where he was. lie Knew he was the. man whom ixng sought all others. Concealing himself until night, he mounted his horse and fled for the point on the Arkansas River where it would be possible to take a Bteamboat Two days later he reached a small landing in the woods on the bank 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 afternoon, and so, having put up the signal to secure 1.. & X A .At.l I J I landing oi tne uuuu, csuumsueu himself on the bank and waited. He deemed himself safe enough from pursuit and took no precautions. Throwing himself on the ground he slept until late in the day, when he was awakened by the sound ot the boat in the distance. She would round a point in a moment or two, and he waited expectantly. As sud- - denly as though risen from the ground a lank figure stood before hiin, and the muzzle of a rifle peered in his lace.'-- . The terrified desperado had no difficulty in recognizing the man as the one he had injured, With the rifle still held steadily npon 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 called myself a man again, and I am going to doit! I I've cleaned out your hand, and' now - its yonr turn ! Oh. Tve eot von V The ruffian in abject fear pleaded for his life, groveling at the feet of a the hunter. He clung to his words as a drowning man clings to straws, The boat was very near. Should she round the point in time he would be - 1 saved. Already the smokestack showed through the brash, when the hunter pressed the trigger, the sharp report rang out, and Reddett fell dead, shot to the brain through the left eye. Long slipped awav' in the woods, and when the boat stonned in - response to the signal they found a dead roan but no one else. Harrison County was rid forever of the worst gang of ruffians in the Southwest. "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." Daily American. Sense and Nonsense.

" A thirteen-year-ol- d son of a wm-- 4 sor (England) inn-keep- named Beasley recently committed suicide, iu a singular fashion, on his father telling him to clean his boots for him. He tied a cord ttfthe handle of a door, threw it over the door and hanged himself. . A married philosopher, whose views respecting nursery management, fash ions, domestic economy and -- minor morals have long experienced steady opposition, describes the re- flective and analytical intellect as "that divine faculty of reason which distinguishes man from woman.' It is now a law in Egypt that every soldier that enters the army must learn to read ami write in Arabic, The officers are required to learn some foreign language, cither English or i rench. If the soldiers do not know how to read and write when they enter the service, they arc taught by their officers, There is a deal of truth and good sense in this clipping: "Children arc children as kittens are kittens.

Enterprise. z. 1 Germany has lost one of her old- - of est and most accomplished jurists by the death of. Robert Von Mohl, who died last week at Berlin, in the sev- - enty-sixt- h year of his age. Miiy Americans have read law with this brilliant and profound expositor at Heidelberg, where for many years he filled the chair of jurisprudence, the late Charles Sumner and Mr. Rich- - ard Henry Dana, jr., of Boston, among the number, Low Life in Egypt. A correspondent of the Philadel phia- - Press writes from Egypt From my window in what I believe to be the most southern hotel in all Africa above Cape Colony, at Mu nich, in Upper fcgypt, I looked down into the interior of the houses of many of these agricultural laborers, if houses the simple structures can be called. They consist of a clay in closure of irregular shape, six feet high and ten to twelve feet square. Across one corner of this inclosure is thrown a few bundles of veds or cane which form a shelter from the noonday rays of the sun. The door of this inclosure opens into a simi lar one, but without such shelter, in which at sunrise stand a donkey and a buffalo cow anil her calf. This yard opens into the street, from which it is separated by a door of plaited reeds. This structure the Egyptian calls his home. Here he lives, here his children are born, here he expects to die. The whole affair cost probably $3.00 besides his own labor. In the neighborhood of the town he may rent a small plot of ground at the rate of $10 per acre; he also possesses the buffalo cow and her calf, a donkey and a few goats; then perhaps $10 worth of tools, fur- niture ajid clothing, and ornaments for his wife and family. This ends the catalogue of Aehniet's worldly possessions. Yet Achmet is the most indeicndent man in the world, and it is just this independence that ruins him; this absolute freedom that keeps him iu such abject poverty. He wants help from nobody; he shares his task with nobody. He is utterly ignorant of that great modern secret of power, the division of labor. He docs not support a shoemaker, be cause he and his family go barefoot the entire year; nor a tailor, because his wife, Fatima, takes the cotton cloth from the bazaar, and sewing a few scams makes upon a similar and most simple plan all the garments of the family; nor does he need a woolen mill, for he sits at the door of his hut spinning with a single spindle sometimes all day loug. Nor do his needs extend to a wagonmaker; the donkey transports everything he re- quires his home-mad- snu dried bricks, his ha', himself, Fatiuia and his children. He wants no miller, for Fatima, turning one flat stoue npon another, grinds the corn and wheat to a coarse powder. Dispens- ing with the oven, Fatima mixes this powder with water and Iwikes it in a rude stone and clay oven, which Achmet, a self-taug- mason, litis built in one cpniit of -- the outer yard. He- - needs no hatter, for he roils his turban of white muslin is the mast attractive work of art of which Achmet is capable. He scarce ly patronizes the comb-make- be- cause his head for cleanliness sake, is shaven as close as the chin of a Frank. He requires no physician, because he has suspended around the necks of his family, in durable leather bags, scraps of paper bear ing magical texts from the Koran, which a scrilie who sits cross-legge- at the corner of a street is ready to write at a moment's notice, and these are the cheapest and best preventa- tives and cures for all diseases. Even his dissipations are of his own preparation; he grows drowsy on to- bacco raised on his bit of ground, which he smokes as a cirgarctte, rolled by himself. He smokes or chews the hasheesh grown by stealth in his garden, and he intoxicates himself upon the date spirit which he has fermented and distilled in his primitive alembic. Fatima's entire domestic establishment has no work for a cooper, for aH her vessels, ex- cept an iron pan, are of coarse earth e. IN or docs she need a cnurn, for I saw her from my window use the most singular and primitive churn in the world. She brought from some mysterious comer a skin of last year's goat which had been taken from the animal as nearly whole as possible. To each of what represented the legs of this animal she tied the end of a cord, then brought the other euds together in a knot and suspended the whole to peg five feet above the ground in the wall. Jshe now proceeded to open me skin at the neck and pour into it buffalo milk or cream from a large lar. snc blew me sum ... iuu oi . . air and tying the neclc tightly with string sat down upon the ground to shake it For five minutes she shook it with both hands back and forth the buffalo cow herself looking on with a most knowing expression and ruminating slowly the while then the air was let off and a fresh supply blown in from the lungs of the wo- man. This alternate shaking and supplying with air was continued for half an hour, when there was evi dently a mass of butter rolling about within the bag.

Ufa. the Late A Sad Incident of War. Scene, Charleston. Time, April 23, 1864. The Yankees from time to time threw a shell into the city and nobody seemed to mind it Miss Anna Pickens, the daughter of one of our former Governors, never consent- ed to leave the city. Despite the representation of Gen. Beauregard she remained, braving shells ami Greek-fire- , tending the wounded and cheering all with her presence. Among the wounded officers under her care was a Mr. Andrew de e, a descendant of one of the noblest Huguenots of the city. This young man was lull of the liveliest gratitude for his nurse; gratitude gave birth to a more tender senti- ment; his suit was listened to; Gov. Pickon8gave his consent, anil the marriage was fixed for the 23d of April. Lieut, de Rochelle was on duty at Fort Sumter in the morn- ing, and it was determined that the ceremony should take place at the residence of Gen. Bon ham at eight o'clock. At the moment when the Episcopal clergyman was asking the bride if she was ready a f hell fell upon the roof of the building, pene trated to the room where the company was assembled, burst, and wounded nine persons, among them Miss Anna Pickens. The scene that fol- lowed cannot be described. Order being at last the wounded were removed, with the ex- ception of the bride, who lay mo- tionless on the carpet. Her be- trothed, leaning and bending over her, was weeping bitterly and trying to staunch the blood that flowed from a terrible wound under her left breast. A surgeon came and de- clared that Miss Pickens could not live but two hours. We will not paint the general despair. When the wounded girl recovered her con- sciousness she asked to know her fate, when they hesitated to tell her. "Andrew," she said, "I beg you to tell me the truth; if I must die I can die worthy of you." The young soldier's tears were' his answer, and Miss Anna, summoning all her strength, attempted to smile. Noth ing could be more heartrending than to see the agony of this brave girl struggling in the embrace of death and against a mortal pain.
