BERLIN, April 20.-A sensation has
been caused on the Bourse by report
that Herr Jaeder, chief cashier of the
great banking house of the Rothschilds
at Frankfort is defaulter for over 1,O00,-
600 marks. Some time ago he was missed
from his post, and as time elapsed and
he dld not appear, a partial eXamin
alton OF his books was made. This re-
suited in the declaration that he was an
abSconder. The examination of the
books is not yet concluded. The exact
amount OF the detalcation is not known.
No denial, however, was made of the
statement that the stealings reached
100000 marks. 1t is said Jaeder has d
greater part of the stolen money III his
possession, and under an assumed name
is endeavoring to reach foreign country,
probably the United States.

ment OF Kansas OF which no settler
speaks with pride. 1 refer, of
course, to the pro-slavery and free
state war, in which for causes, to
me perfectly justifable, took an
active part. Causes that led to
this state of affairs were briefly
these: Kansas was settling up
with preponderance of free state
emigrants, who, as a matter of
course, were opposed to the extern
sion of any more slave territory,
while settlers from Missouri and
other slave states were just as de-
termined that it should be admit
ted as a slave state. The first diff
Guilty took place near the Missouri
line. A band of ruflians led on by
one BID of Georgia captured
body of twelve unoffending citizens
at place called the Post, stood
them up in line and shot eleven
of them to death, without judge or
jury.
Well, as"may be supposed, this
called for revenge from the aboli-
tionists-then trouble commenced
in earnest. Old John Brown
whose soul is still marching on
soon had body of rank abolition
lists ready to go through thick and
thin to clean out the -slaveryites,
while another party formed of set
tiers in the territory. This latter
party was the celebrated Jayhawk-
ers, of which | was member. A
settler whom we all loved and hon.
ored was our leader, namely, l.
Montgomery. Of all the best men
l have known, next to the immor-
tai Lincoln, he was the most hon
est and unselfsh; brave as lion,
honest as Old Abe, tender as a
woman, none really knew him but
to love him. The reader will
naturally ask, if he was all this,
why did he go around with band
of men plundering and horse steal
ing, and also, why did l, who pro-
fessed to be an honest man, join
such a party. Well. thereby hangs
tale, which l will try unfold.
Montgomery came from an east
ern state, poor man, and took up
piece of land to make it his
future home He had a dearly
beloved wife, but no children. He
was a strong free state advocate
and was not afraid to let his poll
tics be known; hence, as natural,
he was sdon a marked man. One
night his cabin was surrounded;
there was knock at the door and
he was commanded to come out
and show himself, which he would
have done had not his wife begged
him not to, as he would surely be
killed. He told them to leave him
in peace, that he did not want to
take any part in the difficulties.
They fired sixteen shots through
his cabin door, and then rode off.
Luckily none of the balls did any
serious damage. This was rough
beginning, but still worse was to
follow.
Not long afterward he had to
leave home to get q supply of
breadstuff. He instructed his wife
how to use the Sharp's rifle in case
of defense, and giving strict orders
to keep the door barred, at night,
he got into his wagon, and, az he
afterward said, left with some mis-
givings az to her safety. Every
thing passed quietly the first day
and night of his absence. In the
evening of the second day a dozen
rough men rode up to the door and

CHAPTER vi,

a''u olilcultles L passed through In
helping to free fair Kansas of her
marauders, will have but little to
say. Some might say that in call
ing them marauders, l use a strong
word, bu. the facts will bear me
out in it, for when band of mon

provocation, murder inoffensive cit

name is too strong to nse in con-
domination. do not excuse all the
deeds of the Jayhawkers, far from
it, for in band of men there are
always some hot-headed ones that,
despite orders, will go to extremes.
But | do say, our men were never
guilty of cold-blooded murder,
nor ever robbed poor family of
their supplies. What we did do,
was to warn them to leave the
country, and if they didn't 20 we
helped them out. When those con-
cerned in murders were caught we
gave them fair trial, and if found
gullty-well, they didn't do any
more harm after we were done with
them. | was with them near a
year, then getting tired of soldier
ing, left the band and went up
north into the territory of Ne
braska.
All the remuneration I received
for my services was one of nv
horses that l succeeded in recap
turlng-and SO ended my Kansas
career
found employment at the town
OF Brownsville, which was then a
new place and fast building up. l
had been here but few months
when | again started westward and
the cause of my going was this: A
man named Glow had a contract
of freighting supplies out to Fl.
Union in the edge of New Mexico,
tor the use of company Of troops
stationed there to protect settlers
and emigrants. There were six
teen heavily-loaded wagons drawn
| ny oxen. got berth as one of
the drivers. We left Brownville
on the 9th day Of June, 1885,, all
in good spirits. Little we wot of
what was in store for some of US,
but will not anticipate.
We had been on out the road
some three weeks when we
met party of friendly Indians,
who informed our boss that they
had seen the war party of Conan
ches on ahead and for US to keep a
good lookout for them, or we
would be killed or captur ed. This
news put US on our guard, and we
took every precaution against
surprise. But after several days,
seeing no Indians or signs of any
we grew more careless and slack in
our guard. A fatal omission !! The
last day of our drive-I we'll re-
member 1.-THE sun rose in a beau
tiful clear sky, not a cloud to dim
the horizon. We were within three
miles of the fort. 1t was about 8
o'clock n. m, we were in rough,
uneven part of the country, conse-
quently the fort was not in sight.
| was driving the rear team in the
TRAN; behind me came poor Wen
dell. He had been i'll for couple
of days and the boss had kindly
given him his one horse buggy to
ride in, which always brought up
the rear. Suddenly fearful war
whoop sounded on the morning air
and Immediately discharge of
firearms and arrows was poured
into our crew. I turned to look
and there, right upon US were about
three hundred painted savages. I
saw escape or resistance was USE
less. | had not been hurt, but

heutllnS all before them,
they ordered her to give them all
the money she had. She told
them her husband had taken all
the money they had to purchase
breadstuff. They called her liar,
knocked her down, and then COM
mitted a crime my pen refuses to
name. Leaving her half dead, they
ransacked the house, took every
thing of value they could carry off;
broke their cook stove to pieces,
ripped open the feathsr-bed., scat
tering the contents over the house,
then the brave fellows took their
departure.
The husband soon after arrived
to find his dear partner more dead
than alive, and when he learned
the full extent of his injuries, he
registered a solemn vow to take up
arms and never re st while the das-
tardly villains remained in fair
Kansas.
Now, reader, do you blame him?
Well, | don't. At the time 1
Joined the band there were about
forty members, bold, determined
men. All of them had suffered
more or less at the hands of the
opposing party. My reason for
joining the Jayhawkers was briefly
this: To avenge myself on the
dastardly robbers who had taken
my all.
One day was engaged in build
Ing stable for my horses, when
my dog gave the alarm of the
approach of about thirty armed
men, all mounted on fine horses.
They rode up and the leader asked
me what l was doing; I informed
him that l was building a stable.
"Well," said he, "you may as well
quit, for we want your horses also
all the money have" 1 asked the
reason for this proceeding. Reason
enough {! you abolitionist
We are going to clean out all your
kind"
l told them | had taken no part
on either side, nor did intend to-;
that they ought not to take my
team; | would leave the country to
them: and as to money, | had but
little, but would give them all
had. At this they raised bolster
Gus laugh.
"You think you're --- smart,
don't you. Take the horses, boys!"
he called to his men, land saddle
too, if he has one, him." I
saw that it was useless to remon-
strate. They took my noble horses
that | loved almost as well as l
did my life, and that did not salts
fly them; they took all my money
and provisions, set fire to my cabin,
and having done this valiant deed
departed. I managed to sxtin-
guish the fire before it had gained
much Roadway, as l had a few
things l wished to preserve that
had escaped the notice of the
thieves.
l Shutdown and thought the mat
ter over. "Wsll. Phil, old boy,
you've got into another nice predic.
ament; you're we'll named Downs,
for you've more downs than ups.
But there was no use crying for
spilled milk. There were but two
courses for me to follow-one was
to pocket my loss and trudge out
of the country on foot to Il more
congenial cline; the other was to
join the Jayhawkers and try to get

STUDY OF MUSIC.
Women Said to BE Not Comparable To
Men.

Men.
Prom the Lancet.
There is no room for the contention that as
compared with the boy the girl has not had fair
play; that opportunities for cuitivating the art
have in her case been few; in his case many.
The reverse is the truth II there is q branch
Of education in which girls have been schooled
to the neglect Of every other it is precisely that
of music.
1t is among the primary subjects to which she
is put and among the very last she Is allowed to
leave OF. Not one hour Q day, but many hours
out of the twen.y-four, are consumed by her at
the piano, to say nothing Of other instruments,
while singing lessons are usually given in sup
piement to these. It might have been thought
that II practice gives perfection woman would
have excelied her male counterpart not only as
an executant, but a. q composer. But what are
the facts?
In instrumental performance she cannot for
moment compare with him, while as to COM
position she Is nowhere. The repertory Of
music from the dawu Of the art to the present
day owes simply nothing to her. Considering
the time she has spent over it, her failure to
evolve new harmonies or even new melodies u
one OF the most extraordinary enignas In the
history of the fine arts.
1t has been remarked, but never explained,
by such accomplished esthetic writer's a. LADY
Eastlake in her celebrated essay on Music, 70
and by such keen psychological snalysts as Mr..
G. Fl. Lewes in his Life Of Goethe" 1t Is, In
