JAMES BO WIE'S D UEbS Legends of the Mississippi River in the Ear- ; v '.'. . ly- Sixties. . j Late as the year 1860, the steamers ply ing on the Mississippi river were just as infested with organized gangs oi se tters as are Bome of the ' steamers now that ply between this country and Eu rope, and the scenes thereon occurrmg were frequently of a violent character, for people are1 robbed nowadays witn much more equanimity m ail ways man they .were in the good old times. . During the fall of 1832, the steamer Orleans, Captain Davis commanding, running between Nashville and the Cres cent City, became the theatre of a. rather typical encounter. A, young man of Natchez going North for' the summer on his wedding trip,, had been requested by a number of merchants and planters in (rhhnrhnnd to collect sundry acH counts due them in New Yofk and some other places where he proposed to visit. A gambling syndicate in simie myste rious way, had gotten news Df this aDd had been informed that if properly han dled, the young man might bean easy mark. They watched him carefully and shortly after his arrival in j New York some of their members made his acquain tance and learned that he would return South by way of -Pittsburg, where he proposed to board a steamer for Louis ville; and, after visiting a few days in that city, to take a packet for New Or leans that stopped at Natchtz and, pother points on the river. , A j One of the men who had made, his ac quaintance in New York joi led him on the boat at Pittsburg, arid, greeting him heartily as an old friend, introduced him to, two alleged Louisiana planters, who made themselves quite agreeable. Cards were; introduced in the gentlemen's; cab in during the evening, and the oung. man was allowed to win small sums, so that by the time the boat reached Louis ville he fondlv -imagined that he was a complete. master .of the, game and the vqual of his opponents.

He was seized by the tall straner- ?r, who had followed him and by his wife- who was watching him, and was persuaded to go to his cabin and seek sleep instead of death; ' "Aeep- awake and watch) ' him closely till I. return;'4 said the stranger to the (usiiiicieu wiie. ; (joing back to the cabin where the gamblers -and others were Iclustering at the bar, the stranger drew from his pock et a Dig wallet, and handirig a $100 bill to thebartender.qnietly asked for chance The other being unable to make it,, re ferred him to the chief gaihbler, witn pleasure," said the man, and noting the fat wallet, added courteously "won't you have a drink?"! -. 1. lhe tall man assented and- casually remarKea mat.-as he was going, to stop off at Natchez, it was hardly worth while to go to bed, W-hereupon one of the other gamblers, getting a wink from his cmer, cuimea .in: f'l don't Care to go to bed either.

How the Widow Broke TIm'sj Uncle all ' to ..'.', Pieces.' "I was down' to sep the widow, yester day," said Tim's uncle, "and she gave lhe backbones for dinner. I went down rather early in the morning; we-talked and laughed, und chatted and run on, she going in arid out occasionally to see to things till dinner. Was ready, when she helped m graciously to backbone. Now I thought that, Tim, rather favora ble.. I took it as a symptom of .'personal approbation, because, everybody knows I love backbone,! and J. flattered7 myself she, had cooked them pn purpose for me. So I grew particularly cheerful, and I thought I could see it in her tool. So af ter dinner, while si.ttipg close beside" the widow, I fancied wej both felt sorter comfortable like I know ' I did. I felt that I had fallen overj head and ears and, heart inaove with her, and I imagined from th$ way she looked; she had fallen teeth and toe-nails in Jloye with me. She appeared just for all the world like she thought it was a coming, that I was a going to court-her. presently I couldn't help it, I aid my hands softly on her beautiful shoulder, and I remarked,when I had placed it there!, in my blandest tones, Tim, forj I tried to throw my whole soul into t he eipression, I remark ed then', with my eyes pouring love, truth, and fidelity, right into her, 'Wid ow, this is the nicest,! sof test place I ever had my hands In all my life.' . "Looking benevolently at me, and atj the same time nusumg up a : little, she said, in melting and ginning tones: 'Doc tor, give me your hand, and I'll put it on a much softer place.'j "In a moment, in rapture, I consented and taking my hand,! she gently, very gently. Tim. and quietly laid it-on my head and burst intoj a laugh that's ring ing in my ears-yet. ' "Now, Tim, I haven't told this to a living soul but you, and, by' jinks! !you mustn't; but I couldn't hold it any long er, so I tell you: but mind, it mustn't go any further."
