???Black Bart/.' tvho stopped stages dozens of
tim<s in northern California???operating with
the utmost audacity, and leaving specimens of
his own rhymes on the emptied mail bags and
treasure boxes, or even sending amusing let
ters to the local journals???was a most original
genius, well educated, intelligent, possessing
hut one fault???tho stage stopping propensity.
Jlut criminals fully as interesting in their ex
ploits as ???Black Bart,' or even as Joaquin
IIurictla and Tiburcio Vasques, tho Spanish-
Mexican outlaws, have only a local notoriety.
Tales of their mi ventures, yet told in pionoers'
cabins, have never yet reached pcrmanenco
In printed form, except in tho merest frag
ments.
The first of theso questionable heroes was
???Bbeet-lron Ja*ck," an audacious brigand,
whoto real name is invoivod in obscurity. Fif
teen years ago he was a terror to several coun
ties of northern California. lie was well edu
cated, handsome, tall, tho ion of a minister,
all accounts agreed, and his name bad been
gained by the immunity from bullet.wounds
that ho appeared to possess. Men did not
hesitate to declare that they bod soon good
???hots fire poiut-blank at his breast and inlss
him squarely. Ho became known as tho most
expert horse thief in tho region, an innumer
able exploits of his are related in Shasta and
Tehenia counties. On ono occasion ho threw
his pursuers ofl his track, assumed a disguise,
met the sheriffs party, delighted them wi th
his songs and stories, put up with thorn at a
little village inn, and during tho night escaped
With the best three hoi ses in the parly, after
having turned tho others loose in tho woods,
and leaving a saucy and funny letter of thanks
ending with sn apt Latin quotation for tho
sheriff, whose wrath was of suoh an abiding
aort tliut brief would hnvo been Jack's life-
lease had be been overhauled.
Sheet-Iron Jock, with a inoro bagntolln of
twenty or so warants hanging over his head,
???urc ventured into Itcd Bin If, quite a large
town on tho Brrrumiuito river, whoso broad,
rapid and blufi-weilfd current sweeps in u
aemi-circlo past. J(e had a world of disguises,
but on this occasion he was recognised in the
main street and pursued by an armed and ex-
eited crowd of citizens. lie ran into a stable,
cut a horse loose und rode for tho river, witii

jumped in,swum his horse operand escaped.
He fired a few shots himself, but uudor tho
eircuinttances is not to bo blamed for devoting
his best energies to locomotion.
One of tiie most characteristic feats of this
fellow was performed at a mountain ball, iu a
log cabin. Young people had assembled from
many miles distant, some of them coming a
Stf???i journor. The ball had hardly begun
when a tall, black-haired, well dressed, baud-
???oinn stranger appeared and excited much
comment. A particularly hand mine young
girl waa taken out on the floor by her partner,
and suddenly tho strangor stepped up, and
with great polileuess requested tue gentleman
to tesTgn the lady In his favor, llo whispered
his name iu the young mau's ear, paid a com
pliment to tbe youug lady, took her forth and
led the dance. Tho word wont around that
Sheet-Iron Jack had come there to dance with
all the pretty girls| that ho had sevoral re
volvers, never missed a shut, and probably
bud friends hid within call. Tho long and
the short of it was that tho thirty young men
R resent were terrorized, and, ono alter another,
>e handsome brigand danced with tho pret
tiest maidens iu tbo room. Thou he ImweJ t0
tho excited assembly, stood in the d??*trway a
qecoud, said mockingly that it ??ras a pity tho
men were not as brs*o si the ladies woro
handsome???and disappeared in the darkness.
H tor Its of hi* liberality are still told in tho
mountains* Many a poor follow, hungry ami
ftHtfiMY, trudging along tho roadside, heard
the rattle of hoofs as a man on horseback ap
proached, ass halted, questioned sharply,
Snug a $6 or $10 or $???-'0 piece with tho Injunc
tion to ???drink no whisky, and don???t boliovo
all the hard storica you hear about Sheet-Iron
Jack."
Tho following incideut waa told to the writer
by one of tho principal actors therein, a num
ber of yrors ago. It waa a bright August day,
and a young Herman was riding along tho
mountain paths of tho northern const range.
Suddenly nis horse, a fine and valuable nui-
ttiul, began to show lauicurss, nud iu an hour
waa ut:ubl* to more thau hobble forward at
???nail's pace. The youth, Ignorant regarding
the of horse flesh, was in despair, lie
bud invested $160 in the creature, nud liner
waa he to proceed ou his way* A mild-voiced,
benevolent old man of farinor-Iiko appear-
anvr, but in reality tho shrewdest horse trader
in the mountains, overtook him nt this iunct-
ate, won his confidence, examined the nurse,
and pronounced it a case of ???founder."
: *An' it'll take a year lor him to git well, au'
be won't be the same boss agin, nother."
???Wli-t shall 1 do?" cried the sorrowing
German.
After a long talk tho shrewd trader offered
tbe German $30 for tho horse, saying that ho
abeuhi turn him out in a pasture a tnito dis
tant, and leave him there for a year or two.
Ignorant, bewildered, the German consented,
took the nieuey, delivered over the limping
boric, took his saddle and bags, and started
to walk to tho nearest stage station. Mean
while, the sharper waited till his dupe was
out of sight, then took a pair of smith's
pinchers from his saddle-bags, and in five
suinutes had wrenched oil* all four of the now
alec I shoes from the horse's hoofs. In half
an hour tbe animal was ablo to walk easily.
??????Thar, 1 tho't so," the now ownor mut
tered. ???The inlnit I seed them now shoes I
knowrd some fool had tight-shod him. That
boss is worth $300 at least. Lord 1 1 wish as
1 could find Mi'h a fool every day."
Tbe poor Gorman plodded slowly on his
toilsome way for several milee, when a man
rode out of the bushes and demanded, ???Whore
in the devil was his horso f ??? lle told tho story
briefly and with rising suspicions that it had
two sides. The man listened attentively,
broke into merry fits of laughter, sittiug side-
wise on bis great browu horse, with one kuoe
thrown over the saddle, pulled his mustache
reflectively???it was Sheet-Iron Jack, lie be
gan to ask questions shout the aged and be
nevolent stranger. Finally he said:
???You???ve been swindled shamefully, and as
this is my beat, 1 suppose I must???help yon
out. You just walk in those bushes till you
rome to a camp. There's bread and dried
b??ef plenty. Then you lie down and go to
sleep."
An hour later he overhauled the new owner
??f i he hnree, and at pistol point recovered the
orter bev back thet $34 I paid the
tool Dutchman." '
???My honest sir, that goes for my fees as
???onnselor in this case. Now I think of it, it is
???eandalously small; turn out your pockets."
Ard be took $440 from thetrembling aad con
quered sharper, enjoyed his despair a mo
ment, tossed bock half of it and rode off.
Tbs young German was roused a little later
???Here's your burse arid
was shot dead In a quarrel a few years later.???

Ax Old-Time Traokdv.???A correspondent,
who is traveling about in Virginia, has found
among the numerous moss-grown old tomb
stones in the graveyard of Williamsburg
which bears tiro following inscription:
Bscred to tbe Memory of
Hamh Hemphill,
Who died at the age ot twenty-five, slain
with her two iufsnt daughters, by
her own husband.
Shews* fair to look upon, pure a* snow, and be
loved tv all who knew her. Divine
Providence alone knows why she
bad to perish so miserably.
This epitaph, some of the words of which
hardly legible any longer, is tho only record
left of one oi the most terrible tragedies that
ever took place in tho old dominion.
It won iu 17U8 that John Hemphill, a young
man who said he was from HantaCruz, in the
W est Indies, arrived at Williamsburg, and set
tled there as a tobacco planter, lie liu I plenty
of money, and w-as able to nurcliHso l,00u acres
ot the finest soil within a snort distance of the
old (own.
Being apparently a gentleman in every
sense of the word, Mr. Heinphili was admitted
to the best society in his new home, and a year
istcr was morried to Harah Jones, a beautiful
heiress, tho wedding festivities being celebrat
ed with extraordinary pomp and spieml'
the course of time two daughters were ba
the young couple, and everybody predicted a
long career of cloudless happiness for thor
Alas! How terribly those bright antieipatjoi
were (o be disappointed. It was on CbrMtin
eve,1H>I,that a strange looking inun, iu a Huit
oi military uniform, appeared ot tho house of
Mr. Hemphill, who was iu Richmond nt tho
lime. Mrs. Hemphill received the stranger '
the parlor.
???In* you speck French, Madame?" ho said
loin r in very broken Knglish.
Hho replied in the affirmative. ???
???Then. Mode me, please send yourtwonurso
girls with the children out of tho room.???
Hho did so. and looked interrogatively at her
visitor. The latter hesitated a moment. The
he said in a tone of deep emotion:
???1???oor lady, I hnvo terrible tidings for you.??? 1
???Heavens!" she cried, turning very pale,
???My husband???"
???Your husband is an infamous villain."
???Hirl" she exclaimed, indignantly.
???He has bnsely deceived you. Ho is nn
caiicd galley sluve, a thief and n murderer l 1
Hho uttered a heartrending scream.
???Do you tell mo the truth?" she gasped.
???lie In n Hpnuish thief, and was sunt to tho
galleys of Barcelona for lifo. Ho made his
ereape from thence and fled to Cuba, where ho
robbed ami murdered a rich planter. I nin
here (o toko him to Cuba, where tho scaffold
'awaits him."
The a filleted Indy had become strangely
calm.
???Hir," she said to tho stranger, ???before you
???rrest him, will you permit mo to hold a
private interview with???with???"
???Jlis truo name is Jnan Cclirio. If you will
h t mo remain in an adjoining room until ho
returns from Richmond, where ho has gorio, 1
in der-timd, you may see him privately."
Half an hour inter Ccfirio, alia: Hemphill,
mndt his niqienrunco. His wife briefly told
* v< rytiling. He flow into a terrible rage,
hot her through tho hourt nud rushod out
of the room to the nursery, whe re ho stabbed
his two little daughters.
The next moment the Cuban officer who had
rushed after him, grappled with him, and sun-
ended after a dospornto struggle iu suaekliug
him.
The news of this horriblo tragedy sproad
like wild fire through tho town, and iu loss
than twenty minutes a largo coucourso of peo
ple had authored in front of Hemphill alias
Ct firm's bouse. Vociferous threots to lynch
tbo murderer wero made, and tho deputy
sberifls, who were promptly on hand to nrroit
him, hud tho utmost difficulty in tiiking him
to jail, where ho was chained to the floor,'
having threatened to commit suioida. The
villain waa hung on fM 17th of May, 1803.

A little incident, in connection with General

he was n colonel hi this army. Calling oiiq
evening at the Imuso of n brother ollicer, who
was away on lenvn of absence, it foil to tho
officer???s near-sighted wife to receive him. It
wus immediately apparent to all present that
ho was not recognised, though ho had pro
tented himself as an old friend, ami tlm colo

tess at not being abjo to present him to tho

???Well, then, am 1 Colonel ??? ???????
???No, Indeed! You could not bo as cross as
lie is If you tried."
Alter naming a few others, the lady in h
turn tried to discover her visitor's identity by
asking him questions, and finally, after going
over a number of names, she asked:
???Is it Colonel Leo?"

A Snake Story.
Cousin John Thrasher corno to ace us tho
other day and made us proud. For it
???mall compliment for n man like him to ride
five miles ou a dirt road in hot weather t-
us honor and show hi3 regard. He dident
???top long, for he is always in a hurry, and so
juet beforo leaving he said he wanted to go
down to the spring and dip up a drink of pure
water. I went down with him aud kept a lit
tle ahead. I stent down off the log that was
close by the spring, and Undo John slept
down just behind me, and ho stept high and
he stept far. and hollered ???snake." Sure
enough I hod stept over tho varmint???a big,
rusty moccasin???and ho mode for a hole in
the rocks and wc lost him. Cousin John dident
get over it for several minutes, and had to set
down nud blow, for ho is awfully afraid of
snakes. It is mighty hard on my wife, for
snakes arc her everlasting horror. If wo kill
one on the premises, she always declares there
is another close by, and if wo kill two she says
there must be a den of them, and so there is
no way to pacify and make her calm and
serene. Carl is gutting to ho a right
smurt chunk of a boy now, aud
hankers after a gun, and *
other doy I told him wo would go hunting
snakes. 1 gave him the email gun and I took
the big one, and wo meandered slowly
along the branch, and sure enough ho spied
that same big mocasin down below the spring
sunning himself on a plank, and I got him a
rest and cocked his gun, and lie took a tremb
ling aim and fired and killed tho boast, ami
be was the proudest boy I think I ever saw.
B???e killed four on that excursion, and now ho
dont want to do anything but hunt snakes and
sw ells up and struts round with his now ! ???
We killed a rattlesnake???s pilot oyer
the field and ten young ones camo crawling
out of her mouth. It is snake time now. This
hot, dry, dusty weather makes them travel
around in search of food, and you can see their
w< rrny, squirmy track ocrors tho road moat
every doy. The books say that snakes that
Icy eggs arc non-veneinous, and those that
give birth to their youug are venomous aad
that none but the latter ever allow their young
to ruu in and run out ot them. But they are
all the fame to me, and I let none escajn if I
ran help it. Our mortal antipathy to snakes
is to my mind ono of tho strongest proofs of
scripture, and it is part of my religion to
???bruise his head" whenever I have a chance.
My wife, Mrs. Arp, loves to go down to tho
spring house and see after the inilk and super-
inti nd the churning, and she is proud of tho
rich cream, and prouder of tho butter, and I
dont wont any or these insidious perambulat
ing reptiles to interfero with nor perfect
serenity. I love tho buttermilk, tho pure cold
buttermilk that sho prepares, for I know it is
nice. Hhe called mo down to tho spring house
yesterday to show mo how much nice yollow
butter she had made at a double churning. Of
course 1 complimented her with gushing and
corious language, and who:i sho told mo to
??? to the house and look on tho pantry shelf
(1 bring her down tho bowl of salt, where
with to sc asm tho butter I went with alacrity
add brought it aud I watched her os she
