The three ruffians were moun ted and all were about to start, when Jhe woman ran out with some sort of a blanket and muttering something about covering the coffin. The man yelled out to her to mind her business and let the thing alone. She retreated with the cloth, but she bad accomplished her purpose, in its folds she had conceiled a bowie knife ; under its cover she had raised the lid and dropped the weap on inside, risking giving me a cut as it fell upon rae ; but in the mo mentary noise and confusion I had got the weapon in my hand, and witli its point raised the heavy lid of the rough box the fraction of an inch, so that breathing was easy if ray position was cramped. The three horsemen spread out, remarking to each other : Beat up tlie game now speedily before, by any miracle, he gets into the wood ed belt by Bufford’s Springs.’, They contlnueii to halloo at eacii other for some time ; their liberal pota tions summounting their discretion. “Dick,” thej'^ called back as they were driving off, “a cool twelve Imndred apiece ; throw out your old shell r-nd join the huTiV’ The driver mumbled something, but the whisky had thickened his speech so that it was unintelligible to me. If he did atterap to move the coffin, I was lost. They kept in hailing distance for the length of some three or more miles, Dick smashing the heavy wagon along at a stunning gait; and I expected every moment that my shell would be jostled out. By and by there was a shout off to the right; a “tal ly ho” as if the huntsmen had sigh ted tile quarry. Nothing but an unwarrantable amount of liquor could have influenced them to con- ttuct themselves as the}'’ did, for no sooner had they called out from the right, than Dick came to a sudden halt, leaping from the seat, and off towards those who were hallooing. For an instant my heart stopped beating at thought of the hazard wince I was about to run. The next moment, I sprang from the coffin to the ground. A few light niiig-Uke strokes, and I had severed the traces, and the hold-backs of the harness. The whole scene is vividly pic tured in ray mind. The moon light ed prairie, the little ravine toward which the renegades were dashing, tlie wagon standing in the trail— then the rattling of the falling thills reached the fears of the party, and, wild shout, they turned tow ard me. I was on the horse’s back, but boldly defined by the moon light. There was the sharp report of two rifles, I felt a sting in my foot, another in my shoulder, but the horse was unharmed and the race for life began. There was a disheartening disadvantage for me, I had no saddle, but I was riding for my life, and I held my steed between ray knees, and took the broad trail with the fury of a torna do. But the issue would rest most ly with the horses. I knew nothing of the one which I rode ; I knew nothing of those that were pursuing me, excepting my own white-faced mare, bhe could run like an ante lope and out wind a hurricane. On and on and on my steed, desperate ly spurred with the point of my knife, bore ahead, actually causing me to grasp for breath ; and not two hundred yards in the rear rode my would-be murderer. kept her mind and head toward 3iie. He only gave up the fruitless struggle, and leaped from her back, when a squad of infantry dashed over a billowy swell of prairie, and rushed down towards us at that steady, measured run, which is so effective in contrast with a disor derly gait. “It’s Wolf, boys,” I exclaimed as they came up with me—for I knew Ills voice. I had no need to tell them that there was a price set up on his head, as it had been clearly proved that he had stirred up the savages to commit more than one massacre of the settlers ; and a doz en of them, uttering a yell of fury, started in pursuit; while the others, noticing my swaying about on the animal which I rode, began to think that I had found something serious in the race for life. In fact, the plain was rising and falling and shuffling about so that it took a ^reat amount of nerve and quipoise to sit as I ought. They got me into Fort Laramie, however, with uncle’s promissory notes all safe in my breast pocket; while my foot full of blood, and the galling flesh wounds in my shoulder, accounted for the odd maneuverings of the plain while I was on horseback. After a brief but desperate con flict Bill Wolf was brought in, and passed over to the proper officers “to have and to hold,” until there should be meted out to him the measure which he had given others. Rich Men with Poor rut Hon est Parknts.—Sir. John Crossley during a political canvass in Hali fax, publicly referred to the fact that his mother was a serveiit girl on small wages. The story as told to rae is'that this girl was receiv ing six pounds a year, but that be ing very thrifty she had managed to save lip a little fortune, amount ing ill all to forty pounds. Mr. Crossley, who married her, had noth ing at all. On the forty pounds they set up a shop in which various useful things were sold, the busi ness being entirely conducted by the wife. Having gained more money by this means, the business was gradually enlarged, until finally they resolved to restrict it to a spe cial article—carpets. Next follow ed the projecc of a single loom ; the one loom multiplied itself to a small room full. Then they bought the patent of the American Bigelow loom, and this seems to have caus ed their business to enlarge very rapidly. The first poor little build ing with wliich they began—a pic ture of it is kept in a frame—ex panded like a magical tree, and now tlieir establishments have spread into a town of their own, the build ings being connected by high bridg es, passing above-tliG streets.

The greatest discovery at Pom peii is that of a woman making a lire ill a cook stove wliile her hus band is in bed and asleep. She was a noble woman. It is said that nothing will cure a poet’s afi’octidn for his idol sooner tlian to catch her at the dinner ta ble excavating the kerael of a hick ory nut with a liair-pin. A WIDOW was w^eeping bitterly at the loss of her husband, and the parson tried to console her. “No, no,” she cried; “let me have my cry out, and then I shan’t cai’c anytliing more about it.” An economical farmer’s daughter in Massachusetts put off her wed ding day because eggs were up to 25 cents a dozen, and it Avould take two dozen for the wedding cakes and pudding. Nevada bridges won't stand much foolishness at a wedding. Recent ly one of them while going up the aisle of the church stopped short and kicked all the skin off the shins of a groomsman who trod, on her trail. When a common Japanese goes into the presence of an office-holder ho must say, “Great and distin guished child of the sun, deign to put your foot upon my neck.” There is some pleasure in holding an of fice in that country. A paper in Southern Rlinois re grets that it went to press “one day too early to record the death of J. Bates.” This is not quite as cool as the paper which said: “Just as we ai-e going to press, John Smith is being run over by the cars.” A man who was sentenced to be hung was visited by his wife, who said: “My dear, w'ould you like the children see you executed ?” “No,” replied he. “Tliat’s just like you,” said she, “you never wanted the childi*en to have any enjoyment.” This is the season of the year when the farmer tells his son, that if he will sort over ten bushels of potatoes, feed the stock, repair that fence and re-sliingle the corn-crib he may liave the rest of the day to go rabbit hunting. When they want to find out in the country if a giil is courting or not, an old lady steps in and re marks : “I say. there ain’t no one sick in this here house or nothin’, is there ? I seen a light burnin’ nigh on to 12 o’clock last night: but I don’t smell no cainphire nor noth in’ around.' An aged colored individual step ped into a store and asked how the thennoinetcr stood. “A hundred and forty nine degrees below zero!” rejfiied one of tlie clerks. “Is data fax ?” exclaimed the old man; “then I’ve lossGcl two dollars ! I jist made a bet it war a hundred and fifty.” “Wake up, Judge, wake up; there is a burglar in the house!” said Mrs. Portly, in Brookljii, to her hus band, the other night. The judge rolled out of bed, grasped his re volver, and opened the door to sal ly forth for the robber. Then turn ing to his wife he said: “Come, Sarah, and lead the way; it’s a mean man that will hiu’t a woman.” CELERY, Andersen’s Dwarf White, Boston Market. PEAS.

Southern j "'‘uif.f’l,!,,*;"!;':!:;;’ The Civil Rights Issue.—In a recent editorial in the Chicago Trib une upon the effects of the civil rights bill the opinion was express ed that the first constitutional test of the measure would come from the North instead of the Sotith, and would probably emanate from New York, Boston or Chicago. This opinion is in a fair way to be veri fied. On Saturday a colored man entered Burke’s restaurant in Chi cago took Ills seat at the table, and ordered liis breakfast. The waiter, also colored, instead of serving him, reported to Mr. Burke for instruc tions, which he received briefly but, promptly. They were to the effect that it was not consistent with the character of his business to serve the black gentleman, and that ho must go elsewhere. The latter did so. and at once went before tlie United States commissioner and swore out a warrent against Mr. Burke for violation of the civil rights law. The issue is thus made fair ly and squairly, without any non sense orcircnmlocution. Thus it will probably happen that the abolition city of (Jliicago will bring the first test cast before the United States Supreme Court involving the con stitutionality of the civil rights law. Traded Like a White Man.— Scene, in a Broad street clothing store; time, 11 o’clock the other morning. Enter colored troop from tlie rural regions. Storekeep er ^valks hurriedly up to troox^ and says: “Well, my colored friend, the civ il riglits bill has passed, and I am compelled to sell you anything you want, just the same as to a white man.” Colored troop, (pompously.)—“I know dat.” “Well, now just say what you want. I will have to sell it to you, although I don’t care to do so.” “I don’t want nuliin.” “Now' just look around the store, and if there is an3'’thing you want to buy, say so. I’ll have to sell it to you, as I am not able to pay the S500 fine. If you haven’t got mon ey enough to pay for what yon want I’ll have to lend it to you, though I hope you don’t want much, as I haven’t got but little.” “What’s de pnee o’ dem pants ?" pointing to a pair of corduroys. “Seven dollars.” (Worthabout $3) “I aint got but S5.” “Well, i’ll have to lend you the other .‘^^2.” And so the trade wa.s consumma ted. The darkey took the pants, paid the $5, borrowed $2, paid that, and went off, owing the storekeep er $2 borrowed money, with the firm conviction that he had made “dat wliite man” sell him a pair of pants and lend him $2 to boot.
