Indeed, I have told it ta John so many times, that he savs he hopes I will tell it to a ??j>\nii>athUing public." and then l>e done with It." That is just what I mean to do. Ten year- ago, last December, I was travel ing fro? Chester to Durham in an old-fash ioned, dilapidated stage-eeaeh. There were ten other passengers in the coach, one, an eld erly lady dressed in the -Quaker garb, and the other, a'young country-gtrl, who was evidently t ami liar 'with the route, as she seemed unite at home and pai<l no attention to anybody. The driver was a little wizened up old man, who would be of no sort of use to us, I remember of thinking, should anything happen, and a? the train bad been several hours late, it was begin ning to get tiusk when we left Chester, and 1 had yet a ride ??f fifteen miles before me. 1 learned, on inquiry, tor I began to be rather frightened at the prospect ot such a ride in the night, that both passengers were going through to Durham, which relieved me. somewhat. 44 Are you timid about traveling alone?" I venturof to ask the old lady, after we had rode a mile or so in silence. '? Heaven has taken care of me thus far, and I have nothing to fear that I know of," she an swered quietly. "Ob, I said, not knowing exactly whit to s,i\. There is no danger on this road," the young woman broke in with. 41 I have lived in these parts all my life." ?' I am thankful," 1 said, breathing mire freely, 4 but it is growing very dark. 1 wish we were at Durham." " But we sha'nt be, this three hours, for we never go ofi a walk up these hills;" and the young woman laughed. " \\ e are in woods, aren't we? ' The young woman shaded her eyes with her hands-lthe coach was lighted with half of a tallow candle?and looked out. " Yes; we are in Satan's kingdom." '? Mercy on us! 1 hope not yet," I said. " I wouldn't use those words, my dear," the old lady mild y advised. 44 If we ever get into daylight, or town-light again, I shall be very caref ul of my words and my journey, too. Oh!" The last" exclamation was wrung from me by a sudden lurch which the coach made, sending us nearly off our seats. " This"is dreadful! Why don't they fix the roads here?" 44 They do once in a while, but they won't stay fixed in Satan's kingdom." " What do you mean?" 1 asked, laughing in spite of myse'if. 14 That is the name of these hills just through here." 44 There was never a more appropriate one, the old gentleman himself would say," 1 said, i the candle bobbed over and went out. The driver reached back and lighted it, as if it wa> no unusual occurrence, and we rode for, 1 should thiiiK, another mile in silence, when, suddenly, a voice which seemed to spring out ot the darkness ju*t beside us. said the oue word, "Hall!" And halt we did with such a ven geance that the old lady and I rapped head, and bonnet.? together without apology. As tor nie, I was so scared that i thought either 1 must have heard Gabriel's trump, or > I that I was ii another world than this. To bo i | actually and really attacked by highwaymen was what I, in my'wildest moments, liad never never l?elieved could happen to iue. Hut here we were, in these awful woods, and the still more awful darkness, inside "Satan's king dom," with perhaps a dozen men that meant tu plunder and murder us, and leave nobody to tell the tale! At any rate, there was one man, and 1 heard him say, 44 How many passengers?" as 1 was stuffing a hundred-dollar bill inside mv dress and drove under my corset; for I had my senses about me enough to know that I must not lose that unless I was murdered. 44 Take everything, but don't hurt a poor oW man," was the next we heard. There is a keg of mackerel under the seat, and a new gown foi Matildy, but, < * Lordy, you don't want that, ami two bunches?" '? Shut your mouth, you old fool! We wanl the mails and the money. <io to h?with youi ma< kerel and your gowns!" The old lady" had not said a word thus far.? indeed, none of us had, only 1 had been prayiny as hard as I coald, " I?on't let them hurt us, I dear Jesus! Let me get back to John again," but now she spoke. " Take my satchel, my dear. 1 know thai voice.'* Then she opened the door of the stage. ?' Robert! Robert Kelly!" 44 Whom h? knows me'here?" '? Robert," she said, "fetch the light. I wish to look into thy face once more." I pinched myself to see if I was awake, oi dreaming. 1 *hs certainly awake, but what was coming next? " I have a great mind to scream." the youny woman whispered. "I am sure there is a buns* not tar from here. We shall all be niurdcrctl surely." The man came to the stage-door and held u|> his lantern. "JdyGodI You here?" ?? Ah, Robert, how many times hast thou broken thy promise to me? 1 will give thee money?" 44 And I will, too," I said, nervously clutch ing a $10 bill and handing it out, while I swal lowed a great lump of something in my throat. "Take it, and promise me once more that thou will strive to be honest." " 1 never can be; but keep your money. You and all around you are safe,""the man said. 44 Oh, Robert! Robert! Mattie and I will lojk tor thee in Heaven at last. Don't forget that." 41 Drive on. old man," the robber said with a queer tremble in his voice, and the old man drove on with:? 44 <Set up! oh, good Lordy, get up! get up!" We went into Durham in short meter, the driver being so frightened that he forgot whether it was up hill or down, and h\s passen gers, or two of them at least, being no fright ened that they would uothave miuded had tliev been jolted to a jellv, as long as they reached some place in safety. It seems the old lady, who was every Inch a saint, had long been connected with" mission schools in the city, and "Robert" had been one ot her charge; and, besides that, she had taken a blind sister of his into her own home, thus earning an eternal debt of gratitude from him. That was all that saved us, and that was a nar row escaj>e, I think, for my part. 1 have often wondered what had become of both the old lady and the highwayman, but 1 never ex|?ect to know. I need not 'say that the stage route between Chester and Durham has never been traveled since by me; though I be lieve the old vehicle still runs, but it is under the management of a young driver. Now, I will leave it to any reasonable wo man. if my story is not worth the telling, and if it was not quite" an adventure for an utiadven turous woman, in spite of John, but I must say that lie looked i?kiLer pale when I related it to him the first time, through whether it was over me or the *10 I have not as yet been able to discover.?Spring/field Republican. ? ? ? ? ??????

Tae series of hjrrib'e ^nrders of which this family has been gait y i ( exceeds in extent an i atrocitv th) cruuih , which these bloody men expiated with their I j Irfe*, for their <levillsh work has continued un i discovered throjgh an unknown period, ati t to murder they added sickening mutilation. Tae ! house occupied by the Benders, in and around which the evidence of these fearful murders has been discovered, is situated on the Osage Mis sion road, about two miles from Cherryvale, in , Labette couuty, Kan., a suort distance from the south line or the state. The house is on an open prairie, and was kept as a way-side tar :ro; it is about 14 by JO feet, and contains two apart ments. In the rear is a garden of about twj acres. During the past year a number of per sons have disappeared in" a remarkable manner, and all traces ol'them have been lost. In minv cases a thorough saar.-h for the mifS'nr ones i made, but all exertions and inquiries of j friends were fruitless. The first disappearance that attracted public attention was that of an old man and his grand daughter, who left Cherry vale about three months ago in a two-horse wagon to go to Fort Scott, but never reached that place. All in quiries tailed to elicit a clew to the cause of their disappearance, until about the beginning ot March, Dr. William H. York, brother of : State Senator ^ ork, recognized the team and I wagon at Fort Scott. Dr. York ascertained that the wagon had been purchased at the fort troiu some person who came from Cherry vale and he resolved to ferret out the mysterv. For this purpose he left the fort on March9, and went in the direction of Cherryvale; but he, in a like manner, disappeared,and all after-search tor him by his brother and a host of friends was fruitless, notwithstanding the fact that a large reward was ottered for anv intelligence of his tute. The search, however, for Dr. York led to the finding of the bodies of the old m in and child in the ravine near Drum creek, with their throats cut from ear to ear. Further search at this time resulted in the discovery of a wagon wedged in between two trfes, the horses havin ' been unable to liberate it, and from the half starved coudition of these animals it is sup posed that they must have been thus held (or several days Ihe marks of bullets and bloo t upon the wagon indicated that a conflict had taken place; aiid it was surmised that wliile th-' owners ot the wngon were being murdered th * horses doubtless became alarmed, and mile their escape, finally getting fastened in th; manner described. Who these persons were, has not yet been tound out. While making the search for Dr. York, the house ot the Banders, a family who bore a pretty bad reputation, was visited by several parties; but to all the answer was returned that no one had seen the missing man. The persist ence with which these inquiries were made, and the constant advertising through the papers of Kans;is ot the strange disappearance of I)r. iork, doubtless caused some alarm in the minds of the Bender family, although noouu ha?l any definite information which traced the disappearance to their agency. About a fort night ago, a man riding from the prairie noticed that no smoke was to l>e seen issuing Irom the chimney of Bender's hou*e; that the doors and windows were closed, and not a sign ol lite was visible. This did not particularly* excite his curiosity until he noticed in the lot a call which had apparently died ol starvation. 1 his excited his suspicion, and he galloped over to Cherryvale with the n?w?. The town soon ? H?1' ami jt wafi then remembered that William Bender had about April 24 sold a watch, some clothing, two mules, and soim other property. All then became impressed with the idea that the Bender family hid, from some good cause, taken a hasty leave of their residence, and a party went out from Cherry vale to make some inquiries. On arriving at the place, the out-house or stable whs tirst examined, and next the larger room of the cabin. Everything was exactly as the Benders hud left them, aikI there whs ii'ith nig to indicate murder or foul play. F.ven in t'ie rear room there was nothing suspicious at tins prat glance: but on removing one of the two beds, a slight depression in the floor led to tlie discovery ol a trap-door upou hinges, liaising this trap, a well, about six feet deep and five teet wide, was uncovered; and, upon descending ,n.? ground was found to be saturated aith thick, letid blood, which stuck to the tnigers ol those who had Ween groping about at the bottom ot the well. The horror excited bv this discovery may well be imagined, and the

clew to many of the mysterious disappearances was thought to be iu:ar. The soft ground at the Itottom ot the well was bored with rods, but nothing rewarded the search of the nowexeit >d party. There was no doubt that murder had been committed, and that the bleeding bodies had been thrust into this well;??ut what had alter ward been done with them wan yet a mysterv, It was then suggested that the garden "siijuid be examined, and all set to work boring the ground with rods. I* or an hour the scarch w*n fruitless; but at the end of that time the point touched something. Shovels were called lor, and the ground opened, when tlia body ol a man, face downward, was found There was no colttn, ami a torn and discolored shirt was all that ?vered the body. With care eeKains.^e,r.e disinterred, for a portion of the tlesh had fallen trom the lower limbs; b it when the body was laid on its back, to the .?^0r%? . 1 I,r?*ent> it was found to be that of l>r. * ork. Although very much nwolleii. the lace was pertect enough for identification, a-id a wound at the back of the bead plainly indica ted the cause of death. The skull had been driven into the brain with a blow from somj weapon like a hammer, and in the house were found two shoemaker's hammers. Tae news of this discovery was speedily conveyed to Senator iork, who soon visited the scene with a cofli i roam ^ to deport the remains, which ha readily identified asthoseof his missing brother a doubt*7 10 kUCe I,r0Ti,1tftac matter beyond The discovery, instead of satisfying t:ic searchers, only whetted their auxietv, and the rod was again put in requisition. In a short time six more graves were discovered, live con taining singlei corpses, and one an old man and a little girl. Some of the bodies were beyond P i0"/. ! others had enough of humanity lett to admit ot identification. It was evident violence an Vth" tbe Tlctim,sof the murderer's Bfn?i? ffm!i was no doubt but that the Bender family had committed the butchery doubtless tor the sake or plunder.

Nick u?ed to tell, with great Merriment, an incident of hi* boyhood. To preserve the flavor of the relation, we will re cord in Nick's own language, and onlv regret that we can not accomi>anv It with his inimi table gesticulation. ??My old man." said Nick, "as a general thing, was a pretty steady old gent, hut once and a while he would get oblivious, and wafer was not the cause ot it. I recollect a certain holiday was approaching, and 1 had been skin ning around to get a llttlo money to have a time with on that day: but the fates and pur ses were against me. It was but two day* prior to the anticipated holiday, and I hadn't narv a red. Remember this. boys, when I add thv'on the same afternoon I came into the house, when lo! there on the floor, totally overcome by his libations, lay my resj>ected daddy, and beside him lay sis' shining half dollars which had rolled trom his pocket. Boys. I've been an honest roan all my life, but once when a boy I committed a theft. I hooked one of those half dollars. Thinks I to myself, the old man's been on a jamboree, and won't know how much he spent, and will never miss it. But mark you, the next morning I and my two broth -rs wen' summoned into my father's presence. The old man's face lowered. I thought of the half-dol lar and knew that a storm was brewing. ??Boys," said he, '-last night when I came home 1 had six half dollars. < >ne of 'em's gone. Your mother didn't take it. There's been no one else in the house. Which one of vou took it'.'" We all protested o;ir innocence. ??Boys," said the old man, ?? that half dollar never walked oft', and I'm going to find out which one of you took it." Turning around, he took down from the wall an old tlint-lock blunderbuss. This he deliberately loaded with powder and buckshot in our presence; then fastening it upon the table cocked it, took a seat behind it. holding the string in his hand, and in solemn tones ad dressed u* thusly: * "Boys. I'm going to discover the thief and punish him at the same time. Vou m ist each ot vou blow into the muzzle of that gun. When the guilty one blows, oil' goes his bead. Now then, yon have a chance; will you own up or blow lip'.'" "Ben," said the old man to mvoidest brother, "have you got that half dollar "No, sir." "Take a blow."' Ben did so In safety. "Nick," (eh boys, "I tell you the chills began to crawl down mv back), "got that half dollar?" ?:N'o, sir," said I with a uetiant swagger. "Blow in that gun." I walked up bravely, gave a blow, and? dodged! "Nick said the old man in a voice of tliuiulf r, ?'where is that half-dollar?" He had me. The truth dodged out of in *. S?d I "Out ir the barn, pap." Thirty Yfar* of LltlKntiwn. A ca.se has just been decided in the Supreme Court of New York involving pro|?erty worth nearly a million of dollars, which has been in litigation tor thirty years. Away back in 1S3:? John Mason died, leaving eight children. Some time before his death his son James had otlvnded him by marrying a Miss Wheatly, an actiess, and he" had settled him on a farm on I.ong Island, which was held intrust for him, and his will left him a comparatively small es tate for life, with a remainder to his children. Litigation was begun to set aside this will, and after the exhaustion of nearly every form of litigation the will was finally broken, and.lames Mason was declared entitled to one-eighth of his lather's estate in 1S.">G. The part allotted t > liim included ninety lots near what is now the Central Park, with other real estate. During liis litigations dames J. Iting was his counsel, and his charges were in all some ?MtJ.i.imo. After a settlement of their accounts, Mr. King claim ed and Mr. Mason conveyed to him forty-five of the ninety lots, under what was claimed to be the old agreement. Soon after thi Mr. Ma son, who ?a* then advised by a Mr. Cone, as liis attorney, determined to recover these forty five lots, and accordingly sent a retainer to Mr. Cram, now the defeuJant. to secure his Assist ance. Mr. Cram's fee was to lie a share in the lots contingent on the success of the suit. Fi nally. in order to raise money. Mason sold a one-third interest In the lots to Cram. In |s*i9t Mason died, and his widow institute! suit to re cover the lots from Cram, on the ground that they were obtained without full consideration. Judge Van Burnt decided in favor of Mr. Cram on the ground that the fee was contingent on the success of the suit, that Cram had paid the taxes and assessments due on the propertv to save it from sale, and that its value at the tim i of the transfer, though greatly increased since was not so great as to render the transaction a doubtful one. Tlir I'osirt of the Vatican. The Gerarchia Catlotica for 1*73, which has been published at Home, gives some curious sta tistics alout the Cardinals of the Boinan Catho lic Church. The total number of the existing Cardinals is forty-five, but there are twenty seven vacancies. Twenty-one of the Canlina'iS are upward of senty vears of age: the youngest Cardinal is Prince "Lucien Bonaparte, who is forty-five, and was made Cardinal e.t the age ot tortv. Of the other high functionaries ot the Church, including Bisho|?s, Vieats A|K>stolic, and Prefects Apo.-tulic, the total number is H73 (this is inclusive of Monsignor Mermillod.) One hundred and three of these ap|<ointiiient? are vacant. Of the present Cardinals, eight were appointed by Pojk; Gregory XVI., and thirty-seven bv Pius IX. During the long |>on titicate of the fatter, no fewer than ninety-seven Cardinals have died, most of whom were ap pointed by himself. The number of Nuncios and Internuncios of the Holy See at foreign courts is eight?one in Austria^ one in Bavarit, one in Belgium, one in Brazil, one in France, one in Hollaud, one in Potugal, and one iu Switzerland. Besides these, there are three delegates in the South American republics and the West I ndies. The diplomatic corps accredi ted to the Holy See consists of representatives of Austria, Bavaria, Belgium, Brazil, France, Monaco, Peru, Portugal,and San Salvador. It thus appears that though there is a Papal Nun cio at Amsterdam, Holland does not send a dip lomatic representative to the Pope. In a lkctcrk at Boston recently. Dr. Brown Sequard said that there is a secret ?>ower at work in us, outside and above the ordinary brain {towers, as we know and call them, which is not, like them, subject to the will, but to laws of it* own. This was illustrated by the familiar instances of soldiers sleeping on the march and keeping the ranks during sleep, and the less common oues of persons who can play the piano in sleep or compose verses quite superior to such as they are able to produce when the facul ties are all aroused and the will is in action. Sleep suspends the known, but not the secret power of the mind. Perhaps the best instance given of this double action was one which oc curred hi the siieaker's own experience. Dr. Sequard was addressing a class of French stu dents in his and their native tongue, talking very rapidly, and his whole mental power in in tense concentration and exercise upon a sub ject most engrossing both to him and them. He suddenly stopped?so suddenly indeed as to alarm his hearers with the thought that some illness had attacked him?but on recovering himself iu a moment was able to allav their anxiety by announcing that the solution of a very troublesome matter?to which he had for years been addressing himself without suc cess, wholly disconnected with the subject iu hand?had at that strange moment been flashed across his conciousness. Facts like these the lecturer would uot assume to thoroughly accoan for. How Mr. Chase Was Told ok the Assas sination of Prksident Lincoln?On the night of April 14, l*?i5, after the assassination of Lincoln, when Washington was in a frenzy of excitement, and fears were had that others would be killed, the writer, with two other friends of Mr. Chase, hastened to his house to see if all was right. It was then about mid night, and all was quiet there. Admitted to the house, we ascended to Mr. Chase's bedchamber where lie was sound asleep. On knocking, he reached out and opened the door, and the party were admitted, to find him sitting up in bed, with the pleasantest of smiles, ami wondering what was the cause of so unreasonable a visit. By the side of his bed stood a little stand on which burned a small reading lamp, and be side it two volumes which be had evidently been reading before he fell asleep. One was the Bible, another a little French classic. In bis night-dress, and with his great handsome smiling face, ha looked the picture of a simple hearted, great-minded man.
