flnHar* l»i VOL. XIX. I TERRIBLE MOMENT. Yes, terible, for such, indeed, it was! I shall never forget it, even if I should live to lie a rhundred years old! Many weighty events pass from the memory, .'but certainly not the moment which brings a Mian to the very brink of the grave, and in 'Which ho finds himself face to face with a 'horrible death. I had lived for nearly five years in Australia, Where I had massed quite a handsome fortune, When suddenly a longing for home took pos session of me, doubtless intensified by the fact that my affianced bride was about to sail for Europe, and I could not endure the thought that the wide ocean was to roll between us. So I resolved to accompany her and our marriage was to be celebrated in our native land. May Brodstoue was the daughter of a wealthy farmer, and the most beautiful and attractive maiden for miles around. Before I knew her, she had been, perhaps, a wee bit coquettish—a fact which was destined to cost ■sne dear. Among her admirers was a certain Albert ■StreiTcr. With his dark complexion, his black hair and eyes,he belonged to that class of people who feel everything most keenly, and never forget an injury. lie worshipped the very .ground May trod upon, and I fear she did not always resist the temptation to flirt witli him, although she assure d me, (ami I could not doubt it for a moment), that she had never "given him any real encouragement. About this time, I appeared on the scene, and from the first moment of meeting, we felt (that fate had destined us for each other. She jlmmediate’y turned her back upon all her for iiner admirers, became as staid and quiet as an tlndia-rubber tree in a calm day, and finally [whispered the little “yes” which was to seal tny happiness forever. Old Mr. Brodstone was satisfied with his daughter's choice,ami, ,;H there seemed to be no obstacle to our union, the engagement was an •nonneed at once I chanced to bo present When Albert Streffer first herd the news. With compressed lips and contracted brews, ho glared, first at May and then at myself, un fil I felt that he would gladly have annihila ted me, bad it been possible. Without tittering a word, he turned and went away. Misconduct impressed me most unph-iisantly, mid .'lay confe-sod to me later that she involuntarily .shuddered when she ijnet his look of bitter hatred. From this time, idilimigh business often .brought him to our neighborhood, we saw Strefter but seldom: yet this man cast a ishadow over ail our happiness, and we were not at all sorry when we found ourselves on iboard tbe ship whi h was to boor v.s toiiii 3>ome.

Suddenly, however, a tremendous eddy seized me. I was thrown violently backward, whirled round and round as if in' a vortex then T knew nothing more! When I recoved consciousness I was in one of the boats, and May Brodstone was bending over me. *«»»«* At daybreak all the boats which had been separated in the darkness was called together, and the list of the pasicngers and crew was read by the captain. As soon as it was discov ered that 1 was missing, they rowed back to look for mo, but no one was able to under stand why I had not taken advantage of the boats. By this time the sea was quite calm so that nothing interfered with their search. Prose inly they perceived a dark object,and ap proaching it, discovered me clinging in desper ation to the wreck, laughing ami shouting like a madman. I remained in this condition for sometime after 1 had been drawn into the boat. Gradually, however, I became quieter, al though I lay in dilirimn for more than twenty four hours. As soon as my mind was again entirely clear, I related my adventures, v. liich filled all my hearers, and especially May Brodstone, with horror. “Now. I understand!” exclaimed the cap tain. “Tiic rascal! Our boats lost, each other in the darkness. In the morning, they all came together again except the one which contained Albert Streii'er and some of the worst characters among the crew. Either he steered the boat in another direction, to escape the punishment which might await him, or lie must liave bribed the sailors to desert us!” Whether the captain .1 supposition was cor rect, I cannot say, for never, trom that time to this, have I heard anything of Albert Streffer. The very same day wo who nidked up by an English steamer and land iin England, with out further accident or adventure. May and I proceeded at once to Germany, where we were married and established our home. My little wife would not hear of again crossing the ocean, since it was as impossible for her'as for i myself to forget the most terrible moment of my life. A SHOT ANDATHRUST.

BY WALLACB P. REED. For The Constitution. John Wilson staggered back and looked at the black slip of paper in his hand. His face was very pale, and his slight frame trembled in every fibre. The other members of the society, not. more than a dozen in all, had all drawn white slips from the hat. They looked intensely relieved, ami gazed at At ilson anxiously and doubtfully. Wilson wiped the cold perspiration from his brow and straightened himself to his full height. “I am the youngest man among you,” ho. said, “and it seems strange that chance has selected me for a work requiring almost super human courage and nerve. But you may trust me. I will be true to my oath if I have to die for it “AA r e do not doubt yon,” replied the presi dent of the society: “but you must expect to bo watched. Every anarchist is bound to boa spy upon his comrades and is pledged to kill a traitor wherever ho may bo found. So, my brother, while we trust you, the safety of the order will compel us to shadow you until you complete your task.” “AVhcn the hour arrives,” answered Wilgpn, “you will find that you are not mistaken in your man.” One by one the anarchists took the young man by the hand and assured him of their con fidence and support. Then the meeting adjourned, and the members of the society dis pel.sed. V, ilson had been an active anarchist for six months, and his zeal and ability had caused him to be made a member of the executive committee. Little by little ho had involved himself in the plots of his comrades until there I was no retreat for him, and lie had no choice but to go deeper into the business. At the meeting of the executive committee which had resulted in the drawing of a black slip of payer by Wilson the anarchists had de cided to take a dosg rate step. The most obnoxious man in the eyes of the laboring men in the great metro’ dis was Bullion, the million lire. AVheu work was hard to got and wages declined, everybody said that Bnllicp was at tlie bottom of it. Whenever a body of strikers failed to secure higher wages it wtii because Bullion's r. .noy and power enabled him to i nt-h every combination. The grasping monopoli t controlled bit. .uess and labor, and the police, the courts and the legislature wore supposed to be his willing tools, fi'i oa, issin.'tion of Bulli-n was quietly di . v, >,.d by the ex - stive committee at sev eral moet.ngs, Finally the meniLcirs drbw . ..

After hr- ■ ' •■■; over ti.e matl-r for an hour : or more the puzzled coiiapiiqfor burned tho not-and at.-.mpted to forgot all about it. AVben 1:0 met somoof l:i, > .mradcs that night he dared not mcnti'.n ti.e mysterious ! menage. Dm',ildy it was a trick to test him. I It would be prudent to await farther devclop mmts. Tho next morning when Wilson started to ! drcsv he saw s .metlfing white on the floor. It was a letter that had evidently liecn shoved ’ under the door. A. ith one bound he seized it i cud tore it . n. He rec',. nized tho familiar back hand with a shudder, as ho read tiic foi j lowing: “You v.IU tll In your design. It you are wino I you will h ave at once.” ! The anarchist was now completely bewll- I dered and not a little alarmed. After rh i troy -1 lug the p .).• r ho paid a vi-.lt to the pre blent of | t.no executive crimmltloo. The details of tfio ! removal of Bullion were discu s d, but not a | word wot: aid that threw any light upon tho ; | anonymous letArs. In the morning Wihon found another warn- | ing ]• tt‘ r under Ids door, and the next day tho I po„: an left ono. By this time the wretched ; man was driven almost crazy. In three days I lie was tocommit the crime. Ho began to feel ; certain that he was discovered. Tho conduct o' his friends had convinced hliu that they lia*l nothing to do v. ith the strange messages. At la-.t the night before the fatal day arrived, i and Wihon shut himself up In his room, the , victim of the most dreadful thoughts imagina- ! . ble. I About midnight he was awakened by a , slight shock. He rubbed his'eyos and found that he had been asleep at his writing table. 11 is pen had broken in his hand and this had disturbed his sleep. “Have I been writing in my sleep?” said Wilson. There was no doubt about it. Ho still held the broken pen, mid something was written on the paper before him. Ho read these lines: “There is yet time for you to be saved. Abandon your murderous ” His pen had failed him just at this point. But the writing was in a. back hand! Tho man now thoroughly awake stared at tho paper in astonishment. Then ho opened a box of writing paper and examined it. Il was of tho same size and quality used by tho author of tho mysterious letters! “I see it all now!” groaned Wilson. “This wicked enterprise has so unhinged mv mind that I have night after night in my sleep left my bed to write these letters to myself. In iny sleep I have mailed some of them ar.d others I have laid just inside tho door. Surely, tho band of God is in this!” Bat he could not see his way out of the trouble. If ho disappointed the anarchists they would kill him. "It is all right,” l.e muttered. “I'll nut take Bullion's life. I know what I’ll do.” Day had dawned and ho realized that ho would have to act promptly. Ho w’eut to his mirror, and opening his razor, ho took off his collar. “Ono stroke,” ho said, “and it will ho over.” Just then ho heard a newsboy crying .some thing in tho street. Ho paused to listen. “All about Bullion’s death!” the boy shouted. AYilson dropped the razor and rushed down into tin? street in his shirt sleeves. He bought a paper and, in a half fainting condition, read tho startling bead lines. Tho great millionaire monopolist was dead. A stroke of paralysis had carried him off in tho night! AVilson crawled back to his room and falling on his knees burst into a flood of tears. It was some time before he could compose himself, but after aw hile lie made his toilet and visited tin’ headquart! r ; of the aiiarcbl ' (. “It Is not year f;,m!t,“ s. id the piTridont of the executive committee pleasantly. “M’e all know tliat you would have done your duty. AVell, wo must pick out another victim, and you shall do the killing.” Wilson thanked him with a shudder, and retired. That night he disappeared from tho city, and from that day to this his feilow-anarchii 11 have never heard from him, nor have they any . clew to his wlieroabonts.

HOWCHIQUrmGOTACHEW. Strange Incident in the Frontier Life of a Mail Rider. From the New York World. One of a party of four seated around a table in an up-town case was a sedate-looking gen tleman, small in stature and faultlessly dr« s -d. Extreme neatness was tho fust thing that struck ono in looking nt him, yet there was a suggestion of virility about him that made his careful attiro seem out of place. Ono of the four addressed him familiarly ns “Chiquito.” The name struck another of the party, who then heard it for tho fust lime, as a rather sin gular way of addressing the sedate if not solemn Mr. Smith, and ho said something to that effect. “Oh, that’s what our friend hero and all tho oilier follows used to ( all mo in tho old days when wo were forty-niners in t'alifornia,” said Chiquito. “It is a sort of hybrid {Spanish, y.ou know, and means small; it fitted mo exactly in th os- d.ys. I'm ml of a la;\e pit tlfrn m . , bnt in those da.ys, wiion 1 was a youth under twenty, 1 was not tilled out and was \< ry small, although 1 did carry tha United (States mail • n horsm .tck overa, sire’, l ii of ierty miles, nearly all of it a lonel) nm’.mtiSn riia-t?’ “You mart have iq. ■ ‘..m u er p« t»ph* and strange im ide.uis on those lade , ’ ono of the party remarked. “Not often,” replied Mr. Smith. “Many a time I v ent over the whole distance out and back without meeting a human being. Some time.i, hi'W'vcr, 1 would come aerc.G a stray Indian ami soimdiim .. im et a. v. hit man, who always had a small arsenal strapped about, his u aist ami a pair of pistols in the holsters of liis saddle, it was a rencontre with one of • those gentlemen at iho loneliest spot in tin? lonely mountain r< ad that is almost the only vivid memory 1 have of those days in the long ago.” There was r general do-dre expr ssed to hear of that, incident, and Mr. Smith -continued : “Well, you know, to be a. lorly-nim r in Cali fornia you had to use tobaccoih all forms. 1 don’t know that there was any commdsion about it, legal or moral,!, it everybody did. and young as I was I did wbai everybodj < : o did.

A few days afterward hie identity was established, when he was hanged in the next settlement by a vigilance commit* tee for horse stealing.

Now Haven Special to New York Sun. Away back in tho fifties, when Yale men wort’ still engaged in their rows with their lire laddies, and noton tho best of terms with any of the New Itaven population, occurred that memorable riot, not th" only ono in the anna 19 of Yale --that ended in th-* killing of the Ivadef of the mob by the students. 'J’lio stoey if short, of absorbing interest, and has often been told but it had a sc<pn l, not generaly known, ami as dramatic as tho romances of receuF fiction. During March. 1554, a pretty Irish actrest (Mrs. ilarry Grattan Blunkett) had been win ning th" he its of the students at the old ih» ■'cr that was standing on the corner oi Uh ip(*l ami Church streets. .One night, when <iuii< u crowd of .‘•■oniors worn occupying tho in a row/, ami tr sh jig(hricer had been repeat edly encored by a zoftlous cln<pto of his coun trymen in the back seats.
