A .STAGE-MtlVEIl'S STORY.
Fourteen years ago I drove from
Dahbury to Littleton, a distance of
forty-two miles, and as 1 had to await
the arrival of two or three coaehcrs,
and I did not start until after dinner, I
very often had a good distance to drive
after dark. It was in the dead of win
ter, and the season had been a rough
one. A great deal of snow had fallen,
and the drifts were plenty and deep.
The mail that I carried was not due at
Littleton, bv contract, until one o'clock
in the morning, butthat winter the Post
master was obliged to .sit up a little la
ter than that hour for me.
One day in January, when I drove up
with my mail at Danbury, the Postmas
ter called me into his ollice.
Tele," said he, with an important,
serious look, "there's some pretty heay
money packaged in that bag," and he
pointed to it as he spoke, lie said the
money was from Boston to some land
agents near the Canada line. Then he
:uked me if I had any passengers who
wore going through to Littleton? I told
him 1 did not know. "But suppose I
have not." savs I.
"Why." said he, "the agent of the
lower route came in to-day, and he
.said that there wero two .suspicions
characters on the stage that came in
last night, and he suspects that thev
have an eye on this mail, so it will stand
you in hand to be a little careful this
evening."
He said the agent had described one
of them as a short, thick set fellow,
about forty years of age, with long
hair, ami a thiek, heavy clump of
beard under his chin, but none on the
side, of his faee. J did not know any
thing about the other. I told him I
guessed there wasn't much danger.
"Oh, no, not if you have got pas
sengers all the way through, but I only
told you this so that you might look
out for 3"ottr mail, ami also look out
sharp when .you change horses."
1 answered that I should do so, and
then took the bag under my arm and
left the ollice. 1 stowed the maifaway
tinder my seat a little more carefully
than usual, placing it so I could keep
my feet against it, but beyond that I
did not feel any concern. It was past
one when we started, and I had four
passenger:;, two of whom rode only to
my first stopping place. I reached
(iowan's Mills at dark, when we
stopped for supper, and where 1113'
other two passengers concluded to stop
for the night.
About six o'clock in the evening 1
left iiowans Mills alone, having two
horses and a pung.
I had seventeen miles to go, and a
hard seventeen it was, too. The night
was quite clear but the wind was sharp
and cold, the loose snow flying in every
direction, while the drifts were deep and
closely packed. It was slow, tedious
work, and my horses soon became leg
weary ami restive. At the distance of
m.v miles I came to a little settlement
called Bull's Corner, where I took
fresh horse. I'd been two hours
going that distance. As I w:is going
to start a man came up and asked If j
was ;oing through to Littleton. 1 told
him I should go through if tho thing
could possibly be done. He said he w:is
anxious to go, and :is he had no bag
gage, I told him to jump iu. and make
himself as comfortable as possible. I
was gathering up tho lines when the
hostler came up and asked me if I
knew that one of 1113' horses had cut him-
oli badlv. 1 jumped out and found
that one of the animals had got a deep
cork ou the ofTfoot. I gavo such direc
tions as I considered necessary, and was
about to turn away when the hostler
remarked that he thought that I came
alone. I told him L did.
"Then where didougct that passcn-
ger
r said he.
"He just got in," I answered.
" (lot in from where?"
"I don't know."
'Well,
now,
said
the hostler.
"" that's kind of curious. There ain't
been no such man at the house, and I
know there ain't been none at aiiy of
the neighbor's."
" Let's have a look at his face," said
I. "We can get that much at ain
rate. Do 3011 go back with me, and
when I get into tho pung just hold
3our lantern so that the light will shine
into his face."
Ho did as I wished, and. as I stepped
inly the pung, I got a fair view of
such portions of my passenger's face
as were not muffled up. I saw a short,
thick frame, full, hard features, and I
could almost see that there was a heavy
ljeard under the chin. I thought of
the man whom the Postmaster had de
scribed to me; but I did not think seri
ously upon it until I had started. Per
haps I had gone half a mile when I
noticed the mail bag wasn't in its place
under im feet.
"Hello!" says I, holding up ny
liorses a little, " wherc's my mail?"
My passenger sat on a seat behind
me, and I turned toward him.
"Here is a bag of some kind that
slipped back under ny- feet," he said,
giving it a kick, as though he would
shove it forward.
Justatthis moment my horseslumber
cd into a deep snow drift, and 1 was
forced to get out and tread down the
snow in front of them, and lead them
through it.
This took me all of fifteen minutes;
en 1 got m again I pulled the
I ba0" forward and got ray feet upon
jt. As I was doing this I saw the man
taking something from his lap, beneath
the buffalo, and put it into his breast
pocket. This I- thought was a pistol.
1 Jiad caught a gleam of a barrel in the
.tarlight, aid when I had time to re
ject I knew I could not be mistaken.
About this time I began to think
-nniewhat seriously. From what 1 had
Vc .Cittl and seen, I soon made up mv
' 1 fcftttbe individual behind me not only
' "",-Bted to rob me of my mail, but was
V,ared to rob me of mv life. If I re-

such wishes was only a
n --' , -.
I quickly gave it up, and
to consider what 1 had better do
under existing circumstances. I wasn't
long in making up my mind upon a few
essential points. First, the man be
hind me was a villain; second, he had
cut open the mail bag and robbed it of
some valuable matterhe must have
known the money letters 13' their size
and shape; third," he meant to leave the
stage on the first opportunity; and
fourthly, he was prepared to shoot ma
if I attempted to arrest or detain him.
I revolved these things in ray mind,
and pretty soon thought of a course to
pursue. I knew that to get my hands
safely upon the rascal I must take him
wholly unawares, and this I could not
do while he w:is behind me, for his
eyes were upon me all the time, so I
must resort 10 .stratagem. Only a little
distance ahead was a house, anil rn old
farmer named Longce lived there; and
directly before it a huge snow bank
stretched across the road, through
which a track had been cleared with
shovels.
As we approached tho cot I saw a
light in the front room, as I felt confi
dent I should, for the old man gcneral
I3' sat up until the stage went by. I
drove on, and when nearly opp'osite
the dwelling, stood up, as I had fre
quently done when approaching diffi
cult places. I saw the snow bank
ahead, and could distinguish the deep
cut which had been shoveled through
it. 1 urged 1113' horses to a good speed,
and when near the bank forced them
into it. One of the runners mounted
the edge of the bank, after which the
other ran into the cut, thus throwing
the. sleigh over about as quick as though
lightning had struck it. My passenger
had not calculated on any "such move
ment, and wasn't jreparcd for it; but
I had calculated and was prepared.
He rolled out in the deep snow with a
heavy buffalo robe about him. while I
alighted directly on the top of him. I
punched his head iu the snow and sung
out for old Longce. I did not have to
call a second time, for the farmer had
come to the window to see me pass, and
:is soon as he saw 1113' sleigh overturned
he had lighted his lantern and hurried
out.
" What's to pay?" asked the old man,
as he came up.
" Lead the horses into the track, and
then come here," I said.
As I spoke I partially loosened my
hold upon the villain's throat, and he
drew a pistol from his bosom; but I saw
it iu good season and jammed his head
into the snow again, and I got it away
from him.
By this time Longee had led the
horses out and came back, and I ex
plained the matter to him iu as few
words as possible.
Wo hauled the rascal out into the
road, and, upon examination, wo found
about twent3' packages of letters which
he had stolen from the mail bag and
stowed away in his pockets.
He swore, threatened and prayed, but
we paid no attention to his blame.
Longce. got sonio stout cord, and
when we had securely bound the villain
we tumbled into the pung. 1 then
asked tho old man if lie would accom
pany mo to Littleton, and he said, " OJ
course 1 will."
So he got his overcoat and mufilcr,
ami ere long we started on.
I reached the end of 1113' route with
1113' mail all safe, though not as snug as
it might have been, ami 1113' mail bags
a little worse for the trick that had been
played on them. However, the mail
roblier was secure, and within a week
he was identified by some officer from
Concord as an old offender, and I am
rather inclined to the opinion that he is
in the Slate prison at tite present time.
At any rate he was there the last time I
heard of him.
That is the only time I ever had am
mail trouble, and I think that, under
all tho circumstances, I came out of it
pretty well.

doubt that such of these traditions as
are not wholly spurious are in the most
essential parts "improved" by the
Spanish chroniclers and priests, who
were not unaccustomed to draw upon
their imaginations for their facts. As
a sequel to the llood-uiyths we come

more or less frivolous theories
which arc put forward in later times
without the excuse of being warped by
a religious purpose. The Celtic theory
issupporteduponcharacteristicgrounds.
It is based ujion the idea that our old
friend, the elsh Prince. Madoc, son of
Owen (fwynedd, established his co!on
in Mexico, and the proof of this start
ling assertion is threefold: " First, the
Mexicans believed that their ancestors
came from a be.tutiful cjuutty afar olf,
inhabited by white people; secondly,
they adored the crois; and, thirdly1,
several Welsh names are found in
Mexico." In further corroboration,
various stories are told which are .sup
posed to point to existing traces of the
Welsh colony.
Hut all tiicrc theories of the origin
of American races from an Isr.iclitish
stock, or from a Kymrie or a Gaelic,
may be safely dismissed us tho fruits of
misguided enthusiasm and perverted
ingenuity. There remain, then, three
hypotheses, each of which has its
strenuous advocates tiamebj: First,
that the American races arc autoci
tliunic, and this was held In Agasiz, in
accordance with his doctrine of mul
tiple centers of creation; second, that
they are of one blood with the races
inhabiting the Eastern continent, from
whom they were separated 13' the sub
sidence of the interveningjand; thin!,
that they represent a migration from
Asia by way of Hehring Strait or
across the Pacific iu lower latitudes.
Either of the first two In'potheacs,
could it be proved, would harnioni.e
many apparently conflicting circum
stances connected with Mexican civili
zation. At the same time it would
give to that civilization the peculiar in
terest which must attach to an inde
pendent development, presenting a
curious and suggestive parallel to that
with which we are familiar. True, there
are striking resemblances between the
architectural styles of American and
of several Old World countries, and
slight, but scemingb real, though iu
fact fortuitous, points of affinity in
language, while a consensus of tradi
tions shows an aboriginal knowledge of
certain countries be3ond the sea in
habited by "white faces." Hut this is
not overwhelming evidence against
either the Atlantis or the autochthonic
theory, and is as nothing, indeed, com
pared with the proof that can bo ad
duced against anv of the other
theories. It is difficult to sa3' whether
we may expect much new light to be
thrown on this phase of tho subject
from future investigation; but Ave can
rest assured that a nearer approach
will be made to tho truth on the ac
quisition of fuller and clearer knowl
edge, Marriage Fees in Russia.
1
If we may judge from an anecdote in
the Smolcnsker Hole, there are parts of
the Russian Empire in which it is no
easy matter to get married, owing to
the autocratic wilfullness of the Russian
clergy. A schoolmaster in the district
of Jueknow was engaged to wed tho
daughter of a landowner iu the neigh
borhood, whose wealth was not at all
proportionate to his acres. The bride
groom, bride and the parents of the lat
ter called on the priest of the laity's
village, in order to settle the amount
of the wedding fee. The clergyman
fixed it at twenty-five roubles. Cnhap
pity, the bride's father was determined
to make a show more in accordance
with his ancestral dignity than with his
impoverished condition, and invited all
his kinsfolk and acquaintances from far
and near to attend the ceremony. The
result was that the procession to the
church included no fewer than eleven
carriages, all full of wedding guests.
When the priest saw this magnificent
preparation', he hurried to the bride
groom, and informed him that the fee
for a marriage of such pretentions
would not be twenty-live but one hun
dred roubles. When the man pleaded
his poverty as a schoolmaster, the pas
tor replied b3 pointing to the signs of
of his father-in-law's wealth. The wed
diug party held a consultation, and, in
dignant at the priest's conduct, re
solved that the whole procession
should drive oft to the next village.
The priest outwitted them, however;
his messenger arrived at his brother
cleric's door long before the lumbering
coaches, so that when the3' reached the
church, and asked the price of the
sacerdotal function, the parish priest
was ieady with the repty, " one hun
dred roubles." The procession started
again for a further village, but the
messenger had been there before them;
the priest of the place could not marry
them for less than one hundred roubles.
The experienced a similar discomfit
ure," according to the reports, at no
less than four village churches, and it
was only after a long drive across the
country that they succeeded in finding
a "little father," who readily consent
ed to bestow the sacramental benediction
of matrimony for the fee which the
ladj-'8 own pastor had.originally asked.

A Dog That UmlersloDiI.
A coitKEsroNDE.VT writes to the De
troit Free Prcsx: Some 3-ears ago we
were operating a leather store in a
small town iu Wisconsin, and it was
part of our business to buy hides for
shipment East. The hide-house was
situated in rear of the lot and a wheel
barrow was employed to convey them.
This dog. which we named Watch, part
shepherd and Newfoundland, always
carried with the greatest delight the
ke3 which was attached to a piece of
shingle by a string, to the hide-house.
One ihy as Watch pranced gaily down
to the hide-house with the key in his
mouth he met a strange dog. The two
commenced to snarl at each other, and
Watch closed his teeth so tightty into
the piece of shingle that he broke it in
two and lost one piece ami kc3'. When
we got to the hide-house he "came up
and had onty the piece in his mouth.
"Watch," said I, "this won't unlock
the door; where is the key?" Watch
looked up. and when the "words were
repeated and the door shaken, to show
that it could not be opened, he started
off. In a short time he returned with
the other piece of the shingle. He was
again shown the two piece?, put to
gether this time, and made to under
stand that the ke3 was yet missing. It
was getting late and we followed him.
Ho stood a moment, as if rellecting
where he was at the time he met the
dog, and scenting up his tracks, found
the ke3' and brought it to us dangling
from the string between his teeth. It
seems b3 this that he certainly under
stood what we said to him about the
lost kev.
A Handsome Pnlpit.
A brass pulpit has recently been
completed in Philadelphia for St.

Troy, N. Y. It will be erected as a
memorial by William Stone Smith, a

to his deceased wife. The pulpit is
about seven feet high by three feet
square, and is made "entirely of
polished brass, except the lloor. treads
and handrail, which are of solid ma
hogany. The ornamentation consists
of rosettes, intersected with twisted
rods, -after the style of 1750. The

eyes, and noted the club in one hand
and the revolver in the other, and heard
him mention my name and ask the
night clerk what was the number of my
room. I feared that he might feel harshly
toward me, and I barricaded the door
of my room with the lounge, the bed

fore he came banging against it. He
slept in the hall that night, across 1113' j

" Hollering" Is a Ilig Help.
Thev were holding an out-door ward 1
meeting the other night, and a speaker
had just commenced
I to warm up to his
work, when a stranger with all his
worldly "duds" in an old sheep-skm
on his "back, boots gone, hat going and
a ityed-in-the wool tramp air about him,
halted on the outskirfs of the crowd.
The speech soon caught him. and he be
gan to applaud. At the end of every
seutence he clapped his hands and
roared like a fog horn. No matter
whether the speaker " hit 'ffin" or not.
the stranger never failed to come down
with the applause, and lie carried a
good share of ihe crowd with him. Aft
er tne speaker had finished, and while
he wis wiping his heated brow, the
tramp approached him and said:
"That 'ere speech was one of thc
best I ever heard in all ray life."
"Ah? I'm glad it pleased vou."
"Pleased me! Win-, it lifted me
right ofTn nn; feet! I "tell 30U. you're

" Yes, I wish you could."

and that was a great speech, but if yon ,
