 This constant immunity course ended to cast a sort of glamour over
 he deeds of the brigands, and 1t was all .scribed tO their own preternaturai Icuteness. But had the James brothers undertaken to settle in a civilized re-
 ion, We venture to say that they coulf lOt have escaped capture week. TheS -eally owed their freedom from arrest to he impenetrable obstacles which the N mpathies of their neighbOrs defended ueiT hiding-places with. They were originally suerrIllas, belonging to Quau- relfs ban and IL Is highly probable nat some of their border friends be- leved to the last that they were still arring on the war of the rebellion. theIr raids have been m.Ist audacIOus. Luey have robbed at least a dozen ,duks and several express trans, and ueir plunder must have aggregated sev-
 ral hundred thousand dollars during he last ten or fifteen years. Both the IrOthers were cruel aSd pItIless mur- gerers, and both have long a. O forfeited
 Il right to consideration. They were Il fact literally hOstes humani generis, nd deserved death fifty times over for ueiT many assassInatlOns and butcher es. Yet, for all this, We cannot envy ne feelings of the man who obtained he opportunity to kill Jesse James by winning his confidence, and who Tepaid hIs trust by deliberate assassination. The presumption however, Is, that the ,iayer belongs to the community which
 
 James brOthers,and that his feelings are ,y no means sensitive. He has been look ing mainly to the rewards offered tor tho 'dptUre of Jesse James, dead or alive, md which it Is said aggregate one huud- ed thousand dollars. If We divide these igures by five We shall perhaps be near 'r the truth; but considering the fact hat Frank James and the rest of tbse sdng still live, We should think even he highest reward mentioned all too small to Ompensate Ford for the terrible risks ie VII have to encounter before he can put hmselt beyond the vengeance of the Urmi liable band whose chief he has shot town.
 CAREER OF THE OUTLAW.
 Jesse James was born in Clay county, Missouri, m 1S45. He was the son of Rev Dr James. He had little education, When under l6 years of age he joined 9uantrell's band of guerrlllas, and par ,clpated m the butchery at Centraha md tbe Sacklng and burning of Lawrence NansUs. He was also connected with several other events of the war of a like ,ature. IT, 1866 he made his first rob iery, which was the Bank of Liberty fn 1887 he robbed the Russellville, Kentucky idnk, and in 1868 the Huntingdon. Vir- inIa, Bank. During 1866 and 1888 he NdS connected Wltn two stage rODDerleS u Texas Frank James and Jesse, in 1869, robbed the Gallatin, Missouri, Bank .ud killed the cashier. In 1872 he rcb- Ied tbe Kansas City Fair office in broad daylight of S10,0OO.
 In 1873 the S-. Genevieve Bank was 'Obbed, and h. 1874 the Muncle (Kansasl sank. In the latter year he robbed 'tage at Hot Springs, and also parti- Ipated Tn hls first train robbery on he Iron Mountain Railroad. In 1876 he Mness0ta Bank was robbed at NOrthiield, Minn., the cashier killed and hree of Jesse'S gang. The Glendale rob ,ery occurred in 1869. The Winston md Blue Cut train rObberies took place dst year. Since the officers have been n pursuit of the desperadO he has been Ided in all his exploits by gang of hs 'wn neiGhbOrhoOd. It Is estimated that Iis rohberles amount to nearly S10O,O0C. Nothing In the appearance of James emains indicated the desperata haracser of the man, or the many ilOOdy scenes in which he had been an ctor. An inspection of the body evealed two large bullet holes on the Ight side of the breast within three nches of the nipple, bullet wound in he leg and the absence of the middle inger If the left hand.-SacramentOR Re ord Union.
