The Old Bender Farm.

The surroundings of the old
Bender place have changed SO
since 1874 that one who was fa-
Iniliar with the faiIa and honse-
hold premises then would not
recognize them now.r Instead
!. of being situated atthe intersec-
ltion of two highways, the place
where the murderers lived is now
near a remote country road.
THE mainYroad is nearly a mile
distant from he site of the
house. Bender entered 100 a.
cres of land. He broke part of
it. He set out few apple trees
near the house. After the FAM
lily took their departure the farm
lay idle till days and months be-
came years. Then a man nam
ed ST Yeazel took possession of
it and has since operated part
oft. A tract of about ten acres
comprising the old yard has new
er been touched by the point of
the plow since the day when the
fugitives last titled it. Yhere it
HES, oyergrown with rank grass
and weeds, but surrounded by
fields of grain. On account of
its uncultivated state the land
looks as if a visitation had been
sent upon it. Superstitious peo-i
pie will not go in that vicinity
after dark. Colored people who
live about Cheryvale tell fright
ful stories about the neglected
spot and do not like to pass it
even in daylight. 1t is notice.
able fact that no darkeys live
anywhere in2the Bender neigh
borhood.s In this case it seems
as though the theory of thosel
who believe that noxious plants
are 4 vegetable form of evil isl
verified. The site of the stablel
is slightly elevated above the
prairie. On this spot there isl
so thick a growth the great
stalks seem to radiate out from
the top and sides of the eleva-
tion till there is not room
enough for a snake to crawl be-
tween the stems. Where the
dwelling stood the weeds and
sunfowers are not so thick. |
They grow around a great hole
that was once the death cavity,
into which victims We're put |
through the trap door in the
floor. The writer dismomted
from his buggy, and pushing [
aside the weeds, they we're as
large ..as fcornstalks, made his
way to the edge of the hole.
The place makes me feel shaky.l
The words of the poet, e"I'bose
poisoned fields with rank luxu-
rance crowned, where the dark
scorpion gathers death around,' /
camevividlyto thewriter mind.
Into the hole the sides have cav
ed. The cavity is still about |
five feet deep and seven feet wide. I
Its mouth, once rectangular, has
now by reason of its caving, be-
come nearly circular. In the
yard south of the house and sta
bIes are three gaping holes, from
which bodies have been dug. T

It was dinner time in a select
boarding house when the new
boarder arrived. He was ven-

sllvery hair, and his face BEAM

joined the table the landlady
said: "Would you ask a bless

How a Husband Was Lost.
I Boston Post.l


When the late Lafayette S.
Foster was ayoung and rising
lawyer he wooed and was en-
gagged to a young lady whose
family enjoyed a larger social
prominence than his own. The
weddng-day had been fixed and
the couple were talking over the
prospective tour, as a part of
which young Foster proposed
that they should spend a few
days with his parents who re-
sided in a town some distance
away. The lady rather reluc-
tantly consented, but said: 81
will go this time, but in the fI=
tire you must not expect my
visits to your parents to be very
frequent. You must remember
that our associations have been
very different Surprisedgan and
shocked by this cold-blooded de-
probation Of the father and
mother whom he loved and hon
ored, the young man paced
the floor, the sport of seeth-
ing and conflicting emotions,
Finally, taking his hat, he turned
to the lady and said: II am glad
| have found you out in time; you
may go to the devil" The ro-
bHke mightnot have been choice
in style, but was earnest in spir-
it. Thenceforth their ways lay
apart, and She was not the
gamer.

SHE WON TIE WAGER.
Clever Ruse 30 Secure Money for

[San Francisco Buile,in.l

San Francisco Bulletin
But here comes one of my fa-
Ivorites. Isn't she fipe-looking?
No? Well, listen while l tell
you her story, and learn why /
like her looks. Some years ago
a man who had more money than
reputation, advertised that he
would give $1,000 to any respec-
table white woman who would
walk unveiled from the Adams
House entrance down Wash
ington street with him, at an
hour when all the fashionables
were promenading. For years
that offer remained untakcn, for
his reputation was such that no
respectable woman would be
seen with him, and the adver-
tisement said "that none others
need apply" Finally, the wo-
man who has just passed agreed
to his terms, and to join him at
the appointed place and time.
When the hour arrived MIR. -
was on hand. Soon q carriage
drove up with the lady. It had
been 1loised abroad that the of
fer had been taken up, and quite
"a crowd had gathered to see him
pay his $1,000. He helped her
Ialight, offered her his arm, walk
ed a few steps with her, when
she removed her veil at his re-
quest and revealed to his gaze a
face as black as night. "You
have deceived me, he said; "this
is not fair" "1m not a negro"
she replied, and to prove it she
pulled off her gloves and showed
"a pair Of hands as white as yours
are this moment, The man turn
ed to the carriage, ,paid her 1000
and she drove off, leaving him
to the laughter and boots Of the
bystanders. 1t turned out af-
tcrward that the girl was very
poor, and that she had magnifi-
cent voice that she could not
cultivate for want of money, and
that was the way she overcame
the obstacle. She went to Eu-
rope and studied five years and
has returned one of our most
brilliant singers, You can tell
from her proud bearing and re-
fined appearance that she is just
| the sort of woman TO do such a
thing with dignity, and come out
none the worse for it either.

There are more ways than one
to keep a husband home eve-
nings. The wife might put up
a cask of beer in one corner OF
the dining-room, cover the floor
with sand, and hire two OF
three dirty fellows to fill the
room full of smoke from vile
cigars. A woman with any
sort of tact can make homo as
pleasant and cheerful as a beer

WHY ARE THERE ANY UNMARRIED
woMENf

One OF the greatest social problems of
the day is to explain why there are so
many manageable women who never
get married. Some say it is owing to
the excess in numbers of women over
men. in consequence Of which there are
not husbands enough to go round.
This, however, is disproved by statistics.
Take the world through, and the figures
show there are rs many men in it is
women. Men do not marry because il
IS said. they cannog afford il. But the
fact Is, that no man who truly loved 4
Woman everhesi,ated to become engaged
to her and eventually married her be-

ing for woman stronger than languid
admiration. who may be deferred from
assuming what they regard IS 4 burden
in the shape Of wife, unless assured OF
liberal income. but some are not so
calculating, Others, again, attribute
sheesil to woman 5 fas,idiousness. They
expect too much in 4 husband, and
~alle waiting tor an impossible shadow,
let the possible substance slip through
their fingers, This is libel on the sex.
As rule. they are no more fas,idious

husbands and not getting them. They

house tina, he had reason to be grateful
for the prudence of his managing wife.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD.
How It Is To Be Constructed and Which is
To Be the Main Line.
Especial Correspondence OF the Galveston
NeWs1

Especial Correspondence OF the Galveston
News.l
DALLAS. Jan. 4.--The city Ia enthused over
the signing OF the contract for the construe-
tion of the Texas and Pacific Railway from
Its present terminus to Et PasO. The con-
tracing parties are the lexaa In provement
Company and the Texas and Pacific Railway
Company. The road liz to be built by the
former company 75o miles westward, ut o
cost OF $4,000 per mile, to be paid IN first
mortgage bonds upon the part Of the line to
be constructed. The work Is to
be- competed by the fret Of January.
1885. The Texas Improvement Company
will probably build the line westward from
TEL Paso, should the Texas and Pacific find 1t
necessary, at that time, to extend the road
further In order To make connection with the
Southern Pacific. The cash capital OF the
construction company 10 81 100000. divided
into twenty parts. The members of what is
called the Gould syndicate are conspicuous
sell Sage. +. l.. Amea, Ct. M. Pullman and H..
u Scott each hold one share; q. MI. Dodge,
two; CT. Morrisini and G. +. Wolrish0fftr,
three; and IL II thOughtC N. Huntington has
five shares. The Texas Improvement Com
pany was recently organized uuder charter
Of the Connecticut Legislature, for the pur-
pose Of making this CON ract.
When the fist inttmation OF the signing OF
the contract reached Sherman, II WAS believed
that the work OF construction would COM
continental branch OF the Texas and Pacific,
and that that line would be- pushed westward
to III paso. The wording of the contract, ac-
cordng TO a Philadelphia telegram to the
Herald Commercial, fixes "a point thirty miles
west of Fort Worth" as the initial point OF
tho resumption Of work. The confidence of
the friends of the city OF Sherman was, doubt
less, baeed upon the wording OF interviews
with the railroad kings during their soiourn
In st. Louis.
Col Tom Scott was repoI ted by the press OF
that city ms having indicated the Transeont-
mental rs the main line OF the Texas and Pa
ciic, and over which through freight conneo-
tions would be given To st. Louis, via Texar
kama and Denison, aud the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas. and the Iron Mountain and South
ern railways. This was partially confirmed
by the Jny Gould interview, In
which he was represented as having named
"the line running due westwardly from Tex
arkana" as the iiue OF the Texas and Pacific
which would, In time, be extended TO III Paso.
These two circumstances. and the fact that
the Unconstitutional would be- the shortest
line between the points. gave color To the re-
port that work would bs commenced with
Sherman as the base.
