Tlio Wail Robhor> and How He
Was Caught.
Fourteen years ago I drove from
Banbury to Littleton, it distance of for
ty-two miles, nm' uh I had to await the
arrival of two or three coaches, nnd
did not start till after dinner, I very of
ten had a good dintanec to dtivo after
dark. It was in tho dead of wiuter,
and the season had been n rough one.—
A great dual of snow hud fallen, nnd
the drifts wore plenty and deep. The
mail that I carried was not duo at Lit
tleton by contract until ouo o'clock in
tho morning, but that winter tho poet-
master was obliged to ait up a little
Inter than that hour for me.
lino day in January, when I drove
up my mail at Danbury, tho postmaster
called mo into his oDioc.
“ Pete,” Httid lie, with an important,
serious look, "thore’H Borne pretty heavy
money ptiukagon in that ling" and ho
pointed to it a* ho spoko. Ito said tho
money wan from Boston to some land
agents up near Iho Canada line. Then
he naked me if I'd got any passengers
who were going through to Littleton ?
I told him I did not know. "But sup
pose I have not?” says I.
"Why," said ho, “tho agent of the
lower route entno in to day, and ho says
that there was two suspicious t-haruo
lers on the stage that came up last night,
and ho HUspeoU that they have an eye
upon this inuil. so that it will stand in
hands to bo tt little careful.”
lie said tho ngont hud desorihed one
of them as a short, thick not fellow,
about forty years of ago, with longhair,
and a thick, heavy clump of beard un
der his chin, tut none on tho side of his
face. Ho didn’t know anything ubout
tho oilier. 1 told bim J guessed thero
wasnt’t much danger.
"Oh I no, not if you hnvo not passen
gers till tho way through ; but 1 only
told you of this so that you might look
out for vour mul), and also look out
sharp when you change horses.”
1 answered that I should do so, nnd
then took tho bug under my arm nnd
lelt tho oUico. 1 Hi owed tho mail uiidor
my Heat a little more careful than usual,
placing it ho that 1 could keep my feet
against it, but beyond that I did not feel
any concern It was past one whoa wo
started, and I Imd four pnHSonget'H, two
of whom rudo only to my flint stopping
place. I leuched Uowtm’s Mills at
durk, when wo stopped for suppor, and
wltero my other two passengers conclu
ded to stop for tho night.
About six o’clock in lha evening 1
led Cowan's Mills nlono, having two
horses and a pung.
I had seventeen miles to go, nnd hard
soventoen it was, too. Tho night was
quito clear, but Iho wind wns sharp and
cold, tho Iooro snow flying in nil direc
tions, while tho drifts wore deep nnd
closely packet}. It was slow, todiont
work, uml my horses Boon became leg
weary nnd restive. At the distance of
six miles I came to a little settlement
cnllod Bull’s Corner, whoro I took fresh
horses. I'd been two hour* going that
dlstnnco. As 1 wns going to start, n
man enmo to tno nnd asked mo i( I was
going through lo Littleton. I told him
I should gn through if tho tiling oould
possibly bo done. Ho said bo was very
anxious tn go, and ns Ito had no bag-
gage I told him to Jump in and mako
himself as comfortable ns possible. 1
was gathering up my linos, whon tho
hostler canto up und asked moil I know
that one of my horses had cut himself
badly. I lumped out nnd went with
him, nnd found that one of tho animals
pocket. This I thought wns a pistol.—
I had caught tho gleam of a barrel in
tho starlight, nnd when I had time toro-
fleet 1 know 1 could not bo mistaken.
About this titno I began to think
somewhat seriously. From what I had
heard nnd seen, I soon made up my
mind that tho individual behind mo nut
only meant to rob me of my mail, but

I was pondering tho horses plunged in
to another deep snow drift, and I wns
again forced to get out and tread down
tho snow before thorn. I naked my pas
senger if ho would help me, but ho didn't
fool very well, and wouldn't try ; so I
wotked a/I alone, and wns all of nqnnr
ter of an hour getting my teum through
tho drifts.
When I got into tho sleigh ngaiu I
began to fool for tho mail bag with my
feet. I found it whoro I hud Toft it; hut
when I nttompted to withdraw my foot
I discovered it had become entangled
in something—I thought it was tho buf
falo, nnd I tried to kick clear ; but tho
more 1 kicked, tho more closely was it
held. I reached down my hand, and
after feeling about it few moments, 1
found that my foot wusin tho mail hog 1
I felt again, nnd found my hand in
among the packages of letters and pa
pers ! I run my fingers over tho edges
of tho opening and beenmo aisured that
tho stout leuthcr had been cut with a
knifo !
Hero was a discovery f I began to
wish that I had taken a lit lie more foto-
thought boloro leaving Danbury ; but
ns I knew that making such wishes was
only a waste of time, I quickly gnvo it
up, and began to consider what l had
best to do under existing circumstnnocs.
I wasn’t long in making tip my mind
upon a few ossontinl points. First tho
niun behind mo was a villain, second,
ho had cut open tho mail bag and rob
bed it of Homo vnluublo matter—be
must hnvo known tho money lottcrs by
their ai/.u nnd shapo ; third, he meant to
leave the stage on the first opportunity,
nnd forthly, lie was prepared to shoot
mu if I attempted to arrest or detain him.
I revolved those things over in my
mind, und pretty soon thought of a
course to pursue. I knew thut to get
my hands safely upon the rascal I must
take him wholly unawares, uud this I
could not do while ho wns behind me,
for his cyos wero upon me all the time
—ho I must resort to strutngom. Only
a little distaneo ahead was a house, nnd
an old furmor named Lougcu lived
thero ; and directly befoio it a huge
snowbank stretched across the road,
through which a track had been cleared
with shovels.
As wo approached tho cut I snw
light m the front room, ns 1 felt confident
1 should, for tho old man generally set
vp until the stngo wont by. I tlrovo o.i,
uud when nearly opposite tho dwelling
stood up ns I had frequently done wlion
upproncuing difficult pl-tces. I saw the
snowbank ahead, and could distinguish
the deep cut which had been shoveled
through it. I urged my horsos to a
good Hpoed, and whon near tho bank
lorced them into it. One of tho runners
mounted tho edge of the bunk, after
which tho other ran into tho cut, tlitiH
throwing the sleigh over ubout as quick
us though lightning hud struck it
My passenger had not calculated on
any such movement, nnd wasn’t pro-
pared for it; but 1 Imd calculated and
was prepared. He rolled out into tho
deep snow with a heavy buflhlo robo
had got n deep cork cut on the off fore around him, wliilo I lighted on my feet

sidcred necessary, a ad was about to his head in the snow and sung out lor
turn away, when tho hostler remarked old Lougoo. I did not have to cull a
thut ho thought I enmo alone. I told second tune, for tho farmer hud come to
him I did. "Then where did you get the window to see mo pass, and assoon
that passenger ?” said ho.
“Ife just got in," I answered.
“Got in from where ?”
"I don’t know.
“Well now,” said the hostler, “Hint's
kind of curious. Thero ain't been no
such man nt tho house, nnd 1 know there
ain’t been none ot any of tho neigh
bors.”
as ho saw my sleigh overturned ho had
lighted his luiitorii mid hurried out.
“What’s to pay asked tho old man,
as he hurried out. *
"Load tho liorncH iuto the truck, and
then como hero,” said 1.

hold upon tho villain's throut, uml ho

Superstitious Sports.
Gunornl A. I.. 8., of Kentucky, per
haps one of tho best card players iu that
Slate, would never play a hand or risk
a dollar if there was a black cat in tho
room. Ex-Governor *B., from ono of
the Western 8tutes, an inveterate gnmo-
stcr, would never sit down to a tnule in
n room where thero was a looking glass.
Some gamblers refuse to play, if, on cn-
toiing the room, the left foot crosses
I ho threshold first, and no persuasion
can induce them to do so until they
loavo ami return with the right foot fore
most. To pul your foot on tho chair of
a player is sure premonition of bad luck.
Some men will never play on Friday.
In 1810 I wns a passenger on the
steamer Star Spangled Banner, from
New Orleans to Louisville. She was
crowdod witli people, and an hour after
leaving Now Orleans found twenty curd
tables drawn out, and tliroo or four score
of passengers deeply absorbed in tho
mystery of “old sledge,” euchre, and
poker. All thut night and tho next day
the gantq wont on. As fortune, howev
er, aoon singled out nnd mude victims
of the poorer and less skilled players, so
tho number gradually decreased until
tho fourth day ont, whon only ono table
wus running. Old Bob Brasher, n ne
gro trader, young Ben Sundford, a
liorso trader, and two planters from La
Fourchc, still kept on. Although they
had played almost incessantly for four
days and nights, yet luck hud favorod
neither party, and they wero within u few
dollars of even. Tho “bucking” had
boon principally between Brasher and
8nnfurd, hut iiorotuforo they bad kept
themselves within tho “gentleman’s lim
it”—five hundred dullurs.
After leuvmg Memphis the gnmo was
renewed, nnd tho bystanders observed
“that a big piny wns on the tapis,” ns
young Bnnford was considerably under
the inilucnco of liquor, und when in thut
condition lie was known to be a heavy
player. Lnto at night the two traders
came together; both had “booking
linmls,” and Louisiana and Kentucky
hank notes almost soon covered tho ta
ble. The margin of five hundred dullurs
had been forgntton, nnd ouc, two, three,
fivo hundred belter I rapidly passed be
tween them. At Inst Brasher loaned
back from the tnblo, unbuttoned his vest,
and took from around his body a belt
filled with gold pieces. Laying it down
upon tho bank notes he cxolained:
Tliroo thousand dollars better 1” Snntl-
f-.ril beenmo speechless; his face turned
doudly pale ; ho called for u glass of
liquor, which ho drank, never unco tak
ing his eyes from the belt of gold. Ho
had exhausted his means in tho furmor
bets; all his money lay upon tho table.
At last a thought struck him.
• “Bon ! hero, sir!” he exclaimed.
“Yes, ntassa,” and bnnford’s body
sor/iiiit, a line, athletic, puro-blood came
to his side.
“Got upon the tnblo sir 1'*
Not during to disobey—os ho knew
well in that moment of frenzy his young
mustor would send n bullet through his
brain did he refuse - the sluvo, trembling
ly, stepped upon tho table, crushing Iho
hank notes and gpld beneath bis feet.
“For the good Lord’s sake, muss Ben,
don’t bet dis nigger off! What will
the old missus say when you go homo 1
Oh, tnysn Ben, please don’t!” groaned
tho boy, but in vain.
“Gull you sir 1’’ shrieked Sundford,
nt tho same timo laying down four
qucoiis and uii nee.
“An invinciblo, sir !” said Brasher,
with a sneer, “four kings nnd an nee.”
And ns Brusher, reached for his bolt of
gold, young Sanford fell to tho floor,
the blood gushed fiom his mouth, noso
and cars. With ono spring tho slave
started from the table, dashed through
tho thin folded door of tho “Social Hull”
out on tho boiler deck, nnd with a half
uttered prayor for tho “old missus,’’ he
throw himself into the daik waters of*
tho Mississippi, nnd was no more.—
Death prevented Brasher from claiming
his spoil. Sundford for weeks lingered
on a sick bod; but ut Inst recovered,
und forever renounced tlm gaming ta
ble. Ho “made good,” however, tho
money-worth of the negro to tho winner.
The Bovaloes on tub I'iiahhei.—
The buffuloes found in the telegraph
polos of tlio overland lino a new source
of delight on the treeless prairie—the '
novelty ot having something to scratch
against. But it was expensive scratch
ing for tho telegraph company; and
thero, indeed, wus the rub, for the Lia
nna shook down miles ot wiro daily. A
bright idea struck somebody to send to
8t. Louis and Chicago for nil tho brad
awls thut could bo purchased, and these
wero driven into the poles with a view
to wound the aniihnls and cheek their,
rubbing propensity. Never was a
greater inistuko The buflulocs wero
