A closer acquaintance showed them

had 'come to the United States hut
recently, his home having been, for
nearly all his life in Cuba.
His wife whom he • addressed as
"darling Aletea," was the daughter
of one of New Orlesues wealth lest res
idents.
Castanos was immensly rich, as
wasevidenced by the costliness and
elegance of his dress and the liberali
ty of his dealings with all about film.
At one of the card tables there
sat four men, lazily engaged in play
ing, when one well known as the
most noted gambler on the river,
who had several times killed his man,
proposed that the Spaniard be invit
ed to join them.
The companions of Bill Henry, the
gambler, thinking they saw an op
portunity to fleece one who was not,
probably up to all their games, read
ily consented, and soon the young
Spaniard was seated in earnest play
with his four companions, while his
beautiful wife, in the ladies, cabin,
delighted the circle about her with
her sweet voile.
I watched the playing with deep
interest, as did a number of others
who saw that a game of unusual in
terest was being played.
At first the four suffered Castanos
to win, which he easily did, for he
was a good player.
Soon, however, he lost and then
again; and he seemed to be conscious
that he was being cheated.
He said nothing, hdwever, al
though I could see that his taco grew
a shade paler and a determined look
settled about his mouth.
At last a hand was dealt which the
bettipg.ran high. All the players
seerzie3 to have become excited, and
Castanos lost his usual caution.
The stakes began to count up, and
amounted to fifteen thousand dollars,
when Castanos doubled them.
The excitement now became intense,
and we crowded about the table in
breathless silence.
The game proceeded, and Castanos
had already taken two tricks, when
one of his opponents threw on the
thurth thick the ace of hearts.
"How is this?" exclaimed Casta
:nos, springing up, and throwing
down an ace of hearts from his hand.
"there's %Milani)? here," and cooly
Eiweeping the stakes into his pocket,

AVith a volley of oaths, the fbur

the-four cowards attacked him.

taking the money from his pocket,

drew from his breast a pistol, which
he' iresented at the head of one of the
taillants.
That before he could fire, however,
the weapon fell from his nerviest;

thud, back to the floor a corpse.

In itorror we gazed upon that scene,

falling upon th e body, she gave vent
to hitter cries, calling upon her Ro•
doiro to come back, and , covering

Suddenly she sprang to her feet,
and demanded who the murderers
of her husband were.
On having them pointed out to
her, she turned to them, and raising
her eyft- to Heaven, she sai "Heavenly Father hea fme now,
for .I do solemnly swear that I shall

sho turned to go; but when her
eyes again fell upon the! body of her
hutiband her eye rolled/ laid glared,
waive piercing shriek she rushed
from the cabin, and plunged into
the dark waters of the ,river.
Her clothes buoyed: her up, how
ever and before a boat could be low
erect, she Boated into an eddy, which
carried her around close to the shore,
when, still shrieking in her insanity,
she worked her way, to the shore,
add climbing up the hank, was soon
loft to sight in the woods.
At the nest wood station the four
blacklegs left the boat, much to the
relief of t i ne rest of the ngers.
At New Orleans the y of Casts
nos was delivered to his b,mily, but
all search for the insane wife proved
futile.
She was nowhere to be found, and
at last it came to be believed that
abe bad perished in the swamp.
About a year after the tragedPl
was, in the course ofmy business,
called to a little town about sixty
five miles up the river, and when I
arrived there, I found the whole
town in a state of great excitement
over a mysterious murder which
had just been committed in , the
place.
George Harrison, a merchant of
the town. so they told me, had on
the previous evening, left his store
at about ten o'clock for his home,
and this morning had been found
in the street dead.
There was no clue to thermurderer;
and what was the most mysterious
thing of it all was that no marks of
violence:could be discovered on the
toodyiencept a small puncture of the
Skin on the left temple, around which
the flesh was slightly discolered.
The whole affair was a nine days'
wonder for the people of the ptaee.
Before I left the place I went and
•aw the body of the murdered man,
Which I Instantly recognized as one
Of the four who robbed and murder
ed Rodolfo Castanos some months
before.
I Instantly felt that he had met
his just reward, but did not for a ems
ment connect his death with the oc
currence of the steamboat tragedy.
Some three or four months after
this I read one day in a city paper
the following :
MYSTERIOUS MURDEII.—II will
be remembered by out readers that
on the 20th of September last a mys
terious traeedy was enacted at —,
the victim being George Harrisdn,
esq.. a respected citizen of the place,
Those who are liimillar with the cir
cumstances, know that the murder
seemed to have been committed with
some sharp slender, instrument like
aneedle driven into the forehead. It
becomes our painful duty this morn
ing to record the perpetration of an
other cowardly rnarcier in the same
manner, and most likely by the same
turarious and 'singular assassin.

moned two victims to their final ae
count. The greatest excitement pre
vails in —, and a large reward is
offered by the authorities for the ap
prehension and conviction of the
murderer. It is to be hoped that
the author of these dastardly assas
sinations may be speedily brought to
justice.
I recognized this fresh victim as
another ot those who had been en
, gaged in the steamboat tragedy of
the year before, and now,for the first
time, a suspicion crossed my mind
as to the identity of the murderer,
and yet, when I reflected how gentle
and pure a creature A letea Castanos
was It did not seem possible that' she
should have titusc carried out the
terms of that oatteshe made over the
dead body ot her husband, nor was it
at all likely, that she ever came out
of that swattip into which she had
disappeared on that memorable
night.
But I communicated my suspic
ions to the proper authorities, and a
diligent search Was made for the un
happy woman, but without success.
In a short time the excitement
caused by. these murders had, in a
great measure died out, one day it
was redoubled by the report that a
third man had fallen a victim—had
fallen under the ghost-like assamin.
This time the unfortunate man
was Paul Iteignolds, a merchant up
the ri vex., who had been stricken down
while passing through one of the prin
cipal streets of New Orleans In the
evening.
When I read his name I Instantly
recognized him as another victim of
Aletea Castanos, whom 1 was more
fully pursuaded was the silent assas
sin, for Reignokis, too, was one of
the murderers of the unfortunate
Spaniard.
Renewed search was made for the
miserable Metes, but. without inte
nse.
In June, 15.59, Just about a year of
ter the murder of the Spaniard,' was
again on one of the river boats, on
my way to some of the upper towns.
As usual the card-tables were sur- ,
rounded by players deeply engaged
In their sport; and. among these was
Bill Henry, whom I have before in
troduced to the reader.
His opponent was a man of singu
lar beauty, with a slight, effeminate
form, and an easy grace, that was
sure to attract attention.
The fwo players were seemingly
purely passing away the time, for
thye played aireleetly, while some of
the bystanders were engaged in chat
i
fing Bill in reference to the traged I
of the year before and the fate will
seemed to hang over all the part
ipants. - .ls.
, .
"Yee see. Bill," said one of the
fellows a brutal overseer of some
plantation, "yer the last one lett now,
and yer tarn comes next."
Bill's face assumed a paler hue,
and his hand shook nervously, but
he replied with a low,forced laugh—
"No danger, Jack; I'm gocsl r a
half dozen Spanish dogs yet. "
During this conversation the you
had remained quiet; but I had no
ticed the face grow ashen pale, the
eyes to sparkle and the hands to
twitch. 1
Scarcely were the brutal words out
of the gambler's mouth. however,
before the young man sprang up,
and drawing from his breast a slendor
sharp pointed ineentment like an
awl, tipped with some deadly pois
on; i.e plunged it into the gambler's
temple to the brain.
The latter, without a groan, fell
dead upon the flour, and before we
could prevent; the youth had drawn
a pistol and shot himself thrombi
the lunge. ,
,sing caught him as he was falling,
him upon one of thesolus in
the ladies' cabin, I tore open his vest
and, shirt, that I might stanch his
wound, when I discovered theyouth
wal a woman!
She smiled calmly and peaceful
lysis she low that I had discovered
her mecret, and said, in a voice husky
with the death-rattle in her throat:
"..Yes, I have kept my vow. You
saw my husband murdered, and
heard my oath to avenge his death.
I have done it, and now, Itodolfo! 1
am, coming! Dear Ito-"
She sank pack, her eyes closed,
there was one gasp, and Alketea
Castauos was dead! Terribly had
she kept her vow.
TIRE COIN ELM.
Notes Crow the Diary or s Detee-
thre.
During the year 1647 the West was
flooded with counterfeit coin. It was
Be well manufacthred that it passed
readily. The evil at length become
sogreat that the United States au
thorities requested that a skillful de
tective might be used to ferret out
ti* nest of miners. I was fixed upon
to,perforut that duty.
I had nothing to guide me. The
fatt, however that Chicago was the
city where ?he eoonterfelt coin was
moat abundant led me to believe that
,the Manufactory was somewhere in
a4e its limits. I proceeded, there
fte, to that metropolis of the west,
tuid spent Ave weeks in the city with
-001 gaining the slightest clue to the
counterfeiters.
I began to grow discouraged, and
really thought I should have to re
turn home without having achieved
any result. One day I reeeiveda let
ter from my wife requesting a remit,
lance of money. as she was out of
funds. I went to a bank and asked
for a draft, at the same time-handing
a sum of money to pay for it, in
Which were eeveral half dellars. The
clerk dashed 'three of them back to
we r v Y lag. "Counterfeit !"
" hat!" said f, ".you don't mean
to tell me these half dollarsare coun
terfeit?"
‘_'l. do."
"Are you certain?'
'• Perfectly certain. They are re
markably well executed but deficient
in,welight. See for yourself."
And he placed one of them In the
balance against a genuine half-dollar,
and the latter drew up the former.
"Thls is the held counterfeit coin I
ever saw in my life," -- 11 exclaimed.
examing them closely. Is all the
counterfeit money in circulation here
of the same character as this?"
" 0 dear, no ;" the clerk replied.
"It is not nearly so well done. These
are the work of the famous Now
York counterfeiter, Ned Willett.
know them well, for I have handled
a great many in my time. Here is
some of the money that is circulating
here," he added, taking some half
dollars' from the drawer. "You see
That the milling is riot so well done
as Ned Willett's, although this is
pretty good, too."
I compared the two, and found that
he was right. I supplied the place
of the counterfeits with good coin,
and returned the former to my pock
et. 4 1 few days after this I received
information which caused me to
make a journey to a small village
about thirty miles from Chicago. I
arrived there at night, and took up
quarters at the only tavern In the
place. It was a wretched dwelling,
and kept by an old man and woman,
the surliest couple I think it was ov
er my lot to meet. In answer as to
whether I could have a lodging there
that night I noticed that the host
gave a peculiar look at his wife, and
atter some whispering I was inform
ed, in the most ungracious manner
possible, I could have a bed.
I.haye fneutl in the course of
thy , life Wet to .put upvlth'
wretched accomumxiationsool. did
notallow. my .equanimity temper :
to be destroyed by the niiierable
sleeping apartment into which I was
ushered after I had finished my re.
past.
The chamber was °fantail size, and
certainly well ventilated, for I could
see the stars through7the roof. The
bed wassimply a bag — of straw thrown
in one corner of the room. without
sheet or covering of any kind. This
last fact, however, was not of much
consequence, as It wag summer and
oppressively hot.
I stood more than an hour gazing
out of the opening which served for
a window. Whore me wa-4 an im
mense prairie, the , limits of which I
could not see. The tavern in which
I had taken up my abode appeared
toile isolated from all other dwel
lings; and, save the croak of the tree
frog and the hum of the locust, not a
sound reached my ear. It was a
beautiful moonlight night, so bright
that I could read the smallest print.
At last I began to grow weary.
and, throwing myself on my pallet,
I was soon asleep. Ho* long I slept
I know not, but I was awakened by
a dull sound, which resembled some
hammering in the distance. I sup
pose it was the peculiarity of the
sound which awoke me, for it was
not loud, but conveyed to me the
idea of some one striking iron with a '
muffled hammer. I rase from my
bed and went to the window. The
moon was now in the western hori
zon, by which fact I knew it must
be near morning. The sound I have
before referred to reached more dia.
tinctry than when in the back part
of the chamber. It appeared tocome
from some out houses which were
situated a huidred yards from the
house.
Now I am naturally of an inquiring
mind, and this sound. occurring as it
did in the middle of the night,piqued
my curiosity, and I felt an irreorei-
Ide desire to go out and discover
therause of it. The desire, as the
sowed continued, grew upon me
with neth intensity that I resolved to
gratify it 44 any price.
I put on coy boots, the only article
of attire I had discarded, cautiously
opened the door of my chamber, and
noiselessly desmatied the rickety stair
case. A few steps brought me into
the lower aptirtmbnt., Which I found
entirely deserted. asTept quietly to
the Window. , and, unfastening it
without making the-saddest noise,
was soon in the moonlight.
Not a soul VMS vistlale; but the
sound I have mentioned osew much
more distinct as t approttebed the
nlace whence it pmeeeded. At length
I found myself before a long, low
building, through the crevices of
which I could pereeive a lurid glare
Diming. I stooped dove and peeped
through the keyhole, and to my ox.
treme surprise, 1 saw baif-tk-dotea
men. with their sleeves up and coats
off, performing a variety of oeempa
tirms. Some were working at a forge,
others were superintending the cast
ing of molds, and some were engag
ed in milling coin. In 'a moment
the whole truth burst upon me. Here
was the gang of counterfeiters I was
in wombat and the landlord and his
wife evidently belonged to the same
band. for in,one corner I saw them
employed—the man polishing off
some half-dollar pieces. and the wo
man was packing . the finished col n
Into rolls.
h. and W 2
I had aeen enougl4 about
to return to my apartment, when I
suddenly felt a heavy hand placed
oo my shoulder, and turning my
-head around to my horror I found
myself in the grasp of as ill-looking
acoundral as ever escaped the
low'.
' , what are you doing here. my
good fellow?" he exclaimed, giving
me a shake.,

replied, endeavoring to retain my
corn meg re.
"Well, perhaps you will just take a
stroll inside, will you?" returned the
ruffian, pushing open the door, and
dragging me In alter him.
All the inmates of the barn imme
diately stopped work and rushed to
ward us when they saw me.
"Why, what's all this?" they ex
claimed.

•'lle's a traveler that came to the
tavern last night and asked for a
lodging; the last I saw of him he
was safe in bed," said the landlord.
The men withdrew to a corner of
the apartment, leaving one to keep
guard over me. I sown
saw they
were in earnest ("consul tation,and were
evidently debating some Important
question.
The man keeping guard over me
said nothing, but scowled flereely.
I had not said a single word during
all the time I bad been in the barn. 1
was aware that whatever I might
say would in all probability do more
harm than good, and it has always
been a maxim of mine to hold my
tongue when in doubt. At last the
consultation seemed to be ended, for
the blackest of the party mine for
ward and without any introduction
exclaimed:

must die!"
I did hot move a muscle or utter a
word.
You have found out our secret and
dead men tell no tales."
I was silent.
"We will give you ten minute to
say your prayers, and also allow you
the privilege of being shot or hung."
Suddenly an Idea struck me. 1 re
membered something that might
save ms life. I burst into a violent
fit of laughter ; in fact It was hysteri
eal,hut they did not know it : they
looked at one another in amazement.
"Well, he takes it mighty cool,
anyhow." said one.
"Suppose he don't think we are in
(*meat," said another.
"Come, stranger you had better
say your prayers," said the man who
had first spoken, "time
Sly only reply was a fit of laughter
More violent than at first.
• "The man's mad," they exclaimed.
•'Or drunk," said some.
"Well, boys," cried I speaking for
the first time, "this is the besV joke
have ever seen. What, hang a
pay"
"A pal—you a pal?"
"I ain't nothing else," was my el
egant rejoinder.
"Did you ever hear of Ned Willett?
I replied."
"You may be certain of that. Ain't
he the head of our profession?"
M=lMW:=ll
"You Ned Willett?" they all ex
claimed.
"You may bet your life on that,"
I exclaimed, swaggering up to the
corner where I had seen the old wo-
man counting and packing the coun
terfeit half dollars,
Fortune favored me. None of t
men present had ever seen Ned Wil
lett, although his reputation was
known to them, and my swaggering,
insolent manner had somewhat
thrown them off their guard; yet I
could plainly see that their doubts
were not all removed_
"And you call these things well
done, do you?" I asked taking up a
roll of money. "Well, all I have to
say is that if you cant do better than
this, you had better shut up shop,

A Fair flit.
About the time the temperance re
formation began, a well-disp - ozed
farmer told his hired man. that he
thought of trying to do his work
without rum, and asked him how
much he should hikve to give him to
do without it. The •tztan told him
that he might give hiu3 what he
pleased.
"Well," said the farmer, "I will
give you a,sheep if you do without."
The oldest son then asked him if
he would give him a sheep if he
would do without 70W,
"Yes," 43aid the father, "You shale
have a sheep if you will do without,"
The youngest son then asked if he
would do the mine by him,
"Yes, Chandler," was the reply,
"ypu shall have a sheep too, if you
will do without rum."
Prftently Chandler asked, "Father
hadn't you better take a sheep too?"
This was a homf question; the father
had hardly tho ght that he could do
without the "good creature" but. th is
appeal was not to be disregarded.
The result was, that rum was at once
banished from the premises.
