Soon after the war, while ov- I ( ' erything was yet in confusion in the ; ! South, nnd especially in the Southwest, I . ! Benton moved from Missouri to Aikan j sas, and settled upon the Arkansas i River at a point midway between the j ' Pine Bluffs and Arkausas Post. The J country was then full ot outlaws of all j ; sorts, and robbery, assassination, and ' ' I murder were rife n the louely sections, j ' J Benton lived on tho band of the river, ! ' and furnished wood to sieauiboats. Hat j ' tic w«s his only child, and had been ac- j i customed to the wild life of the West j ' Hiicc babyhood. The mother was an ; invalid, who could scarcely leave the i house or wait upon herself. The father | wus a man of fierv temper, and pcop 1 soon learned that to attempt any ovc j making with the girl would be pretty certain to end in somebody's death j j The three or four gallants who came ! sighing about, were maild lo walk the ] plank, .md in time it cauie to be known ; ' I along tho river that the old man Benton | looked upon his daughter as too good a | match for auy one in those pi.rts. Then 1 it was that an outlay named Jack Cuu>- I mcrford sent the old man a message that i ho was coming to make ilattie his wife. | i The fellow was f ropiietor 'jf a floating whisky chanty, nnd had two or three | hard cases constantly with him. While ! \ there was 110 question that his crew were 1 J guilty of stealing and robbing and woise, | ! the victims hesitated to complain, and J the law to arrest. Cununerford heard of the girl long | enough bcfoie he saw her, and the first Beuton heard of t e outlaw was byway ; of a message in which Cuinnicrford told him that ho would be 011 hand in about r , tell days to look the girl over, olid if I Bho suited him, lie would lake her away. ! The father boiled over at the impudence j | of the message, and he arranged to kill tho outlaw on sight. Had it been 1 known just bow ho wonld come Cum uicrford would have been welcomed with a bullet, but tho messenger did not state * j that part of it, and after being on his I guard several days tile father began to I { relax his vigilance and believe the mes- I sage to be nothing moro than au idle | boast. One morning he went down to 0 ' his wood pilos to find a shanty boat mot red at the bank, and a rough look , 1 ing fellow just coming ashore. Jack j Cummer-ford and his gang hid arrived, aiid the villain intended to make his words good. Benton was not armed , tho outlaw had a rifle in his hands, j | Suspecting some e\tl, the pioneer starl it | od to retreat, but was shot in the back II i before he hud gone thirty feet, and ho '' J was dead almost as soon as the outlaw iS | reached biui. The three men then pro- r * oecdcd to the house together. The 1- mother aud daughter were preparing te breakfast, and wero ordered to mako "• provisions for their visitors. They had j heard the tifle shot, but before they eould voico their suspicions of what had happened, tho leader of the gang bru tally said: ''Come now, hurry up. I've come to take the gal away, and as 1 thought t ; ■ old man might object I just laid him out on the start. No sniveling, row, but git breakfast ready and then prcpar' to I go with me. 'I he mother was so overcome that she [g dropped into u ohair and began moaning and weeping It was a terrible shook :M ! to the gill, but she realized from the first moment that if she was to be saved tr from the fate planned for her, she must save herself. She therefore went ahead with the preparation.-) for the meal, and : about the tiino tho men were told to sit j down ti the table the mother hnbbleit 'I out anil sat down beside the dead body j of her husband, so dazed and terrified i that she could not shed a tear After ! the first shock tho girl began to plan > against the gang, and ever; move timdc I \ by tho n.en was narrowly watched. As | u the place was isolated they tvl no fear | j of being disturbed, and took matters j q very leisurely. They talked of tho shoot- j 11 ing of lien ton as coolly as if thev had I e had only fired upon a dog, and as they y drew up to tho table, Cuinmerford ob- f served: I "Ought to have hit him abnut. two | ' inches lowtr, but it wasn't so bad .'*r a I , sue.p shot. Kinder vorry for the old j 1 woman, but she'll feci better after wo 1 ' fling the body into the river. Say, gal, . ' how d'ye like me, any way 1 You orter l 3 bo proud of such a man as Jack Cuu:- 1 uierford ! ' j ' "Come, Jack, bo a bil easy on her 1 ' until we git afloat," remarked one of ( the others. •'Oh, sartin," chuckled the outlaw, j 'She's kinder 'afraid of mo now, but I , sho'll soon be proud of her husband. 1 ' 1 \ llathcr pooty gal, llattie is. Sorry 1 ' didu't come last week, but iny motto is 1 ' to attend to bigness fust. Say, pal, | ' don't be afcurd to laugh if you feci like I ' it!" Cummerford had brought his rifle or 1 carbine to the house, while the others j had left their firearms aboard the boat. I ( Tho carbine leaned against the wall in | the rear of tho men, and just as they got , fairly to eating tbe ijirl examined it sof- ; j fieieully to note that the chamber cou- \ , taincd four or five bullets No sooner j > was she certain of this than stio snatoh- • ed it up, and sprang out doors, and a» 1 , ran fur her mother, who was iu the di rcot lino of iho boat, she called to her lcavo the body and hasten aboard the craft. Dazed as she was, tho mother did not hesitate a second about comply- -j ; ing, aud she was aboard before any of ; ; the outlaws came out. When they did ' | appear it v.as to find tho girl with the ' carbine at an aiui. covering the mother's retreat, and Jwalking slowly backward herself. The ruffian.-were all upset foi the moment. Then Cuuimt.-iford sprang into tho cabin after the dead man's rifle, j and when he roappna l jd he brought it to his face and commanded the girl who l was by that time on board tbe shanty ! ! boat aud trying to cast off the line to . coiue ashore. She paid him not the j 1 least attei ion, uud ho coolly fired at her ( ■ head. Tho bullet drew blood from the ! | edge of her right car, and in retaliation she picked up the carbine and fired an oIT-hand shot, which killed the man who stood on the right of Cummerford. Tho recoil of the heavy piece knocked het I down, but oefure they could rush upon her the mother seized an ax and cut tho 1 line, and the boat floated away on the curreut. Cuimuerf >td ran back into the cabin 1 after ammum'ion, but before he found it the boat was half a mile below tbe house, and when he opened fire the women shel tered themselves iu the cabin. As fast as he could load and fire ho fired upon tho boat hoping that a stray shut might! wound or kill. Tho girl made no reply j until the current carried the float iuto a tree top on the opposite side of the stream. Then, wlieu the outlaws began to prepare to swim or float off to it she opened fire from three or four revolvers j hanging io the cabin, aad did such good shooting as to forco them to abandou the | attempt. Had it been coming on jlark tho tv > i j men would doubtless have found jaeans ito iccover the boat and recapture the women, but tbe craft had uot bceu de tained more than an hour in the trr.e top, I when a Government survey party came along and were soou in possesion of all j the particulars. The womi n were tak en off, the boat was stripped of its plun | ! dor, aud then tho structure was given over to the flames. During this time I j two men were landed to hunt for the I wretches, but like the cowatds they I j wero thoy left the locality with all pos sible speed, and Cummerford was not I heard of again until killed ill a light ci Arkansas I'ost.—.Wui York Sun. 3 MANY BUILT THIS WAY. t ! t !

THE IIKIACIOI'S CHiAtts OK KIN y VKAIIs AUO, Thd good old times' Young man, y)u may shake your hnad «* much as you please when you hear old folks talk of the good old times 1 but what say you, supposing yvu arc a smoker—a question hardly necessary to put, 11s nowadays smoking is tho ru'e, not the : exception—when I tell you that fiftecu j years ago you could buy, for 0110 cent, four Alexandra^cigars (rat-tails;, two half Spanish cigars made of soaked Ken tucky leaf, burning a snowwlate ash ; u ' very nioe, pleusaut flavored cig.ir made of Seed leaf wrapper ard St. Jago de Cuba filler. If you were well cuough off to spend a six pence at one time, you got seven of them. For two cents apice you had your ehoijc of the best home-made, aud few people evci so well off thought of spendiug more, except some extravagant )oung buck, or some ! who knew what a rjal Havana was, for which the price was three cents apiece, in some instances five for one shilling. The importation of Havana cigars at the time was very limited, and mostly confined to houses 111 tho West India trade, iu exchange to our produce.— Southern Tobacco Journal. THE fiusr DAY OF i if;-: WEEK. The change of the day of rest from the seventh to the first itay ol the week —from fie Jewish Sabbath to the Chris taiu Sunday - -is a standing eyidenee— it might almost be culled a tangible evidence— f the resurrection of Christ. There have beou in round numbers !jO,OOO Sundays since the first Easter day. They arc all so uiuny links in an unbrokcu chain. I'tic last link wc held in our hands on Aprill 2oth, the 1 fir.st is riveted to the fact ot the resur , motion, which took place on the 17th ' .Visan, or April ( Jlh, probably in A. D. | 00. It is an unchallenged fact, tracea ble through all history, modern medicc val. and through the Early Fathers, that the first day of the week has been observed br Christians for the last IS centuries; thus we get diicct to apos tolic times. But, surely, if the Apostles and their contemporary Chiislians had not been convinced by ihe evidence of I their senses tha> Jesus of Nasarcth rose again on the Gi *t day of tho week, noth ing would have induced tlu-m to depart from their cherished 1 radttions, aud to j iffeud the prejudices of their Couutry j men, whom they were so anxious to conciliate, by relaxing the obligations (d the seventh day, and transferring theiu 1 the first day of the week.—Chicago Living Church. SMOKING A PI3TOI, FOR A PIPE. A little West Side child had a inir | aculous escape from death, or at least svrious injury, a few days ago. A small self-cocking revolver was carelessly left loaded iu a dressing case. The littk I one, who is about two years old, discov ered it, aud shortly after horrified bis I mother by appearing in the parlor,where she was ectortaining a caller, with the j inuzzel of the revolver betwecu his lip.- , for a pipo. The terrified rnoMier spranj forward and tore tho dangerous play -1 thing from tl.o child's grasp and threw j it across the room, where it exploded | with a crash. Fortunately no one wai injured And the youngster set up at | angry ory tor his pipe, as he caliod il j It was afterward discovered that he hue ■ been enjoying his smoke all the w;i) down from the third floor, having conn ! lowu two flights of stairs with the pistol in his possession.—Chicago Journal.
