THE BRIGAND CHIEF,
BY fRASKLlX S. BENEDICT.
CHAPTER I.
Hast (lone the deed? Shikspeibk.
T was midnight in Genoa one of
those summer nights which are only to be
found in that soft summer country. "The
moon poured her full radiance down" up
on the city. The streets were deserted,
yave by the hordes of robbers which night
ly infested it, and when some lonely pas-,
conger went hurrying through, fearing to
linger, yet afraid to proceed, lest the next j
moment he might be caught in the net of.
the bandits. Suddenly a shrill shriek !
pierced the stilness of the night, from a
-youth pursued by the robbers. A pistol
shot was heard, one convulsive leap, and
a fall. The hot blood spirted fuil in the
faces of the brigands, but they minded it
Siot, and eagerly began to strip him of his
ornaments, to tear off his cloak of crim
son velvet, to snatch from him his purse,
through which the yellow gold was glit
tering, and the broad budge of honor on
vhich the name of Buvendano shone like
a tar fallen from the clear, blue heavens,
diving him another stab, they left him,
(as they supposed, dead,) to seek a place
of concealment. An hour passed bv; the
vounr man awoke from the death-like
fwoon into which he had fallen, and stag
rercd to his home.
Beautiful as an houri, the wonder of
(Jenoa, was the Lady Inez de Caslro.-
Shc was an orphan; but her beauty and
wealth procured her the respect of all
the world. Many suitors had the proud
beauty, but sh turned coldly from them
all, though report said she smiled upon
the Count Buvendano. To-day she sat
pensively by her dressing-table, her head
resting upon her hand, while with the
other she carelessly twisted the jetty ring
lets of her hair. Her eyes were filled
"with tears, which ever and anon rolled
down her pearly cheek and dropped into
her lap. What! was the proud beauty
weeping? she whose smile could bring
joy to so many noble hearts, and whose
haughty words and scorn fid looks could
wring the same hearts with agony? But
it was so. News had reached her that
the Count Buvendano had been wounded
in an encounter with the brigands, and
lier young heart was filled with aony at
the thought that he might die he the
-chosen of her young heart. At this mo
ment a note was handed to her, which re
moved all her fears. But let ns leave her
lo read it, and return to the robbers.
After leaving the Count stretched upon
the ground, they had returned to their
cave, a lew miles from the city. It was
hollowed out of a lock partly by nature
and partly by art, and was fitted up by
these 'cut-throats in a style of barbaric
magnificence. At the farther . end was a
scat, raised-higher than the floor: it was
the couch of the Chief. lie now occu
pied it; but, rising as they entered, he
exclaimed "What success?" They re
plied not, but by laying the spoils' before
him. He gazed with delight upon the
gold spread hefore him and the diamond
crest on which glittered the name of Bu
vendano. A fierce gleam of exultation
hot from his eyes as he said
"Pedro, did you kill the young dog?"
"We did."
"Ay," added another, "there was not a
Walh in his worthless carcass when we
left him."
. " T is well," he muttered "Revenge
IS SWEET.
CHAPTER II.
Jo love is like the first Iovc.-Axciext Bvllah.
"No love is like the first love," for we
r.ererlove again. We may deceive our
stlvcs with the thought, that we do, but
Iri the next the "castle in the air" which
"we had formed ; has fallen to the ground;
. for in our first love are concentrated all
the better feelings of our nature. Thus
it was with Inez: she loved madly, devo
tedly, and not in vain. We left her just
opening'a letter, which, after reading she
kissed again and again, and placing it in
her bosom, she arose and rang the bell.
The nnid appeared. .
Dress me quickly, my good Eliza,
and prepare for a walk. I am weary of
the "house,1' he cried. "
She obeyed, and they were soon threa
diuir the thronged streets of Genoa.
The bandits having finished their meal,
their leader called one to him.
"Gonzalvo," he exclaimed, "select four
of our most trusty men arm yourselves
to ihe teeth and follow mc!"
They obeyed, and threaded their wav
through the woods and underbrush, till
they reached the city. Here was the ob
ject of their search.
"Here," said the Chief, "is she for
whom I sought: seize her, bear her to
tnc cave, but let the woman fo!"
Springing from their hiding-place, they
surrounded Inez. Gonzalvo seized her,
and placing his brawny hand over her
mouth to smother her screams, fled with
her to the cave. The others, after bind
ing the woman -'hand and fool," followed.
Her cries soon brought people to her as
sistance; but before she could relate the
cause of the disaster, the robbers were
safe and the idol of Genoa was gone.
When Inez awoke from the swoon into
which she had , fallen, she found herself
an inmate of the bandit's de;u With a
slight err, she fell, fainting, into the arms
of'thc robber, which were extended to
receive her. Motioning his fellows away,
he threw a silken robe over his armor, so
that the sight of it might not terrify her.
When hc recovered, gazing wildly a
round, she exclaimed .
"How came I here, and who are you?"
"Peace, lady, and you shall know. I
am the Robber Chief."
At that dread name, a strange fear came
to her heart, and she trembled, she scarce
knew why. The Chief sank on his
knee before her, and taking her hand,
would have spoken,but indignantly snatch
ing it from his grasp, she exclaimed
"Base-born caitiff, release me, and dare
not touch even the hem of the robe of a
high-born and spotless maiden in your
polluted grasp!"
"Lady," and the head of the Brigand
Chief sank upon Ins knee, and tears, the
first he had shed for long years before,
gushed from his eyes "Lady, I am not
base-born. Listen, and pity me, if you
can. 1 am a woman!"
Inez started back; horror and amaze
ment were depicted on her countenance
as she jrazed upon the erring one; but as
she looked, the turban and mask fell off,
and the long ringlets fell around a neck
as fair as ivory, and the blue veins stood
out on the marble-like forehead, and
wreathing her hand amongst the silken
ringlets, she began her tale.
CHAP PER III.
Patient yourself, maJame, and pardon me. '
Titus AsinoMrVR.
"I am of Russian birth, lady. My eyes
first opened in that cold clime. Ye may
wonder that such passions as I possess
could belong to an inhabitant of that
dreary land. My father was of the no
blest of the Russian nobility: you may
have heard the name and may not. He
was the Count Marjanque. My mother
died in my infancy. Had she lived, I
might have been spared this life of rapine
and murder. But it is useless to deplore
it now; 't is too late. I had a sister a
soft and gentle girl. Melhinks I sec her
now,- with her locks of waving gold.
Her eyes were blue as Italy's skies, with
a soft and gentle expression which re
minded one when they looked into them
oi childhood's hours when all was hap
piness, and we thought our life would be
as free from cate as it was then, and the
world seemed to our gaze delightful.
But I wander from my story. I loved
her only as a sister can; I watched over
her youth with a mother's care. A beau
tiful picture did we make as wc wandered
over 'hill and dale,' my arms around her
waist, her golden hair entwined with my
dark curls, our lips pressed together.
Ariists came from afar to sketch the por
trait of the Russian sisters. We had
many suitors, for our wealth and beauty
attracted universal attention.' There was
one who I thought loved me for mvself
alone. Alas! how fatally was I deceived!
News was brought me that my lover was
false; but I believed it not. My wailing
maid, true to mc, brought mc the tale of
guilt nav, more, conducted mc to the
spot of meeting. There I saw them, his
hand in hers, their lips pressed together,
her head resting upon his bosom. I was ;
sttipified; I could not sperk; but my
heart seemed silently breaking. At last
I found words to speak, but my voice was
1 oarse and sharp, and scarce sounded like
the sweet voice of Adelaide Marjanque.
Ellen,' said I, 'is it thus you repay my
love, my kind care?' As I proceeded,
my Russian blood boiled, and hurling the
fiercest curses on the heads of Ellen and
Buvendano, I left them."
"Buvendano! Oh, God!" shrieked the
Lady Inez.
"Ay, lady, the Count Buvendano! 'T
was he!"
Inez heard her not for at the sound of
that name she had sunk fainting on the
ground. Raising her gently, the Coun
tess laid her upon a couch; but it was
long before she recovered. She opened
her eyes, and staring wildly at the wo
man, exclaimed
"Go on you have broken my heart at
last, go on!"
"I will: but say that you will forgive
me.
"I do, Adelaide Marjanque I do."
She went on:
"I left the room, and I determined to
quit Russia. My father was dead, my
sister lost to me, and the last silver link
which bound me to my naive land was
severed and gone. I left my home, my
country, and came to Italy joined this
band of ruffians and made myself their
Chief. There is but one who knows my
sex: that one the faithful Conzalvo. My
sister I tould have pardoned, but she
married him. In a few - months I heard
she was dead. They said it was con-
sumption; but I knew he murdered her.
Hearing you was about to marry him, I
determined to save you. I have done so;
and now farewell! It is but a few miles to
the city. Return. I must see the Count
before I die. 1 hate him, and last night I
would have killed him, had I been able."
CHAPTER IV.
O.ye Gods!
Why do you make us love your goodly gifts
Aud snatch them straight away! Pericles.
. Reader, I have but one more scene lo
present to you, and then my long, and I
tear tedious, story is done. Enter with
me into the house of the Lady Inez.
i There she stands, her face pale from re-
cent excitement, and by her side is the
female Robber Chief. A knock is heard
at the door, and the servant announces the
Count Buvendano. The Russian glided
behind the curtain of the window, while
Inez went forward to meet him. He
would have embraced her, but she "mo
tioned him back, and drawing her proud
form to its fullest height, she said .
"There are but few words to pas3 be
tween us, and then we part forever. The
reason why? There is one here who will
tell. I may not say how well I loved
you; suffice it to say, I love you no lon
ger.' Here, she continued, handing him
a box, "are the presents and letters you
lavished on me so freely. They are
worthless. Farewell!" . ,
He would have spoken, but he could
not. A film came over his eyes, and he
would have fainted; but at this moment
the infuriated Adelaide appeared. Fear
and horror restored him to consciousness.
Starting up, he exclaimed
"Do I sec aright? Can the grave give
up its victim? Adelaide Marjanque, is it
you?"
"It is villain -it is! Didst think that I
would die of a broken heart? Thou little
knowest my nature. I have prayed for
this hour to come when I might see your
face, and confront you in your wicked
ness. , Last night, when you was nearly
killed, you little thought the attack was
planned by Adelaide 'Marjanque. But
now,'' she continued, "go! pollute the
air no longer by your presence. Go!"
He obeyed, and, leaving the house, he
returned to his lodgings. In the morning
he arose an humbled, but a better, man.
He left the city for America, and 'ti3 hoped
that he reformed. Much had he to re
pent of. much to deplore. The Lady
Inez never wedded, and the poor of Ge
noa bless the name of the Lady Inez de
Castro. The Countess died soon after,
for a broken heart was her portion; and
why should she live?
California cannot' now sustain a large
population. Flour, at the latest advices,
was selling at $40 a barrel: Tea, S3 a
pound; Brown Sugar, 50 cents a pound;
and common domestic Cotton, such as is
sold here for sixpence, is there charged at
50 cents a yard.
OTHELLO IN CONGRESS.
OR THE APOSTROPHE SALSAGEIVOROUS.
Most prilent, grave and reverend Rep
resentatives, My very noble and approved porkonians!
That I have gobbled up this greasy sau
sage, It is most true. True, I have bolted it.
And wircJ my chops with an old news
paper. The very stretch and grin of my veracity
Hath this extent no more. Rude are
my jaws,
And little graced with niceties of slobber
ing; For since these gums of mine had seven
years' teeth,
Till now some nine months basted, they
have used .
Their keenest action upon head and pluck;
And little of the whole hog can I squeak
More than pertains to feats of broiled
whisker;
And therefore leanly have I greased mv
grinders
In munching for myself. Yet, by your
patience,
I will a round, unvarnished tail deliver
Of my whole course of pig; what tripes,
what trotters, -.'-.'
What big black puddings and what mighty
sausage
(For such pork feeding I am charged
withal,)
I gormandized in greasy dignity.
Sweet piggy loved me oft delighted
mc,
And piggish was the story of my life,
From year to year, the nibbles, biles and
chumpings!
I greased it through, even from my boy
ish days
To the very moment when you caught
mc at it.
And I can speak of the most slippery
lardings, -
Of moving accidents by skewer and grid
iron, Of hair-breadth 'scapes, enough to singe
your bristles,
When squealing runtcrs f''et 011 Pomt
of fork.
Of perils in smoke-house and dripping
pan, Of being baken in the insolent dough,
In pot-pie slavery. Of my nuzzling
since,
And tit bits in my Congress history,
Wherein of antics vast, and speeches idle,
Fist icuffs, fudge, and fibs whose heads
touch heaven,
'Twas my bad luck to hear: such was
the gammon
Of swaggering cannibals that each other
eat, -
The Anihro-pifjfagi the men whose
tonmies
Are broader than their shoulders mighty
bores.
Yet, still 'he "House affairs" keep me

f H"MI E olject of this establishment is
fl to supply a want greatly felt by re
spectable travellers on our western high
ways by residents, without family, la
ken sick and by patients .from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to this place for relief Irom surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careless and un
faithful nurses; ami been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atten
dance, snd at a rate much below the usu
al charges.
While the care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
it is intended by Dr. Sneer, to give spe
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches of his profession
lie has given a large share of his atten
ion for the last twenty-five years, and
he will continue to devote to them the
experience acquired by a constant prac
tice during that time.
The Hotel for Invalids is notanexper
iment. Its establishment is suggested
not only as necessary to supply an evi
dent want in this city, in the entire ab
sence of any special provision for the
sick, but is warranted also by the success
of similar institirjions at Cincinnati and
.New Orleans the former under the care
of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Strader
the latter under that of Dr. Stone.
The building selected , for the purpose
is situated ' at the ccrner of Federal and

his whole system bore the marks of being

lost the use of the hand.evcry part being
covered with dep, painful, and offensive
Ulcers, and his hand and wrist were as

THE
r
Another New Year!
Amid ihe ever succession of period,
once more has revolved around. How
fraught with food for thought are those
"wiic stones"' in human life! .
Change after Change
how many the changes that a retrospect
of the past 12 months will conjure up to
view!
The Struggling Voor
have in some instances been made happy
by ihe dawn of brighter days; whila
those basking in the
Sunshine of Prosperity
have had to taste the bitter pangs of
want. How ought these vivid lessens
from off life's truthful page to stir up
the hearts of all
to goodly deed,
And thoughts of sympathy!
Death, too, has not been idle; but has
helped to make up the changes of the
past year. And where health once took
up its abode, disease now holds its thral
dom. But how oft is ill health attributed to
Negligence or Prejudice,
which induces the suffering invalid to re
fuse using the rightful remedy w hich his
own peculiar malady calls for. The ex
perience of more than
Ten Thousand Trials
proves the unequalled value of that plea

Benjamin Phelps Dear Sir: I take
great pleasure in communicating to you
what 1 consider an extraordinary cure
effected on my daup liter, about 1 1 years
of age,' by Wis tar's Balsjm of Wild
Cherry. About the first of September
last, my daughter wa3 taken sick, and
attended by several physicians, whose
prescriptions were iueffectual, or seemed
to do no good. She was attended with
a constant cough and pain in the breast.
Her physicians and all who seen her,
came to the conclusion lhat she was in a
confirmed stage of Consumption. I made
no other calculation than for her to die.
But as she commenced taking ihe Balsam
she began lo improve, and continued so
until her health was restored, and is now
entirely well. With a view of benefiting
those who may be similarly afilicted, I
lake pleasure in recommending this med
icine In the confidence of ihe public.
Yours, with respect.
