that wild region?
That he might lose no time, he sent
his family on with the train, retain
ing a riding horse, with which he
intended to follow In a few days; and
while he accumulated gold and silv
er, Mrs. 'Wilder and hor , children
traveled on towards the Rocky
Mountains.
A week —ten days—two weeks
passed, and Wilder did not overtake
them.
But at last his two hired men, Mai
nly and gears, came along on horse
back, say i lig that Wittier would come
up the next day; and then pushed on
ahead of the train with singular
haste.
Abram Wilder NMI never seen
again.
Five years finessed. In the sum
mer of 1554 the mining post of For
est Hill in Placer county, Californ
ia, had its population augmented by
the arrival of a new family consist
ing of a woman, a boy of twelve and
a daughter of eightyears.
The woman, who had a pale, wea
ry looking face, was Mrs. \Vifder,
and she had toiled hard for those chil
dren during the List five years. She
had spent most of this time in Sacra
mento, where she had done washing
and all sorts of hard work; hut suf
fering from agile, she had resolved to
go up into the mountains.
I ler boy, tieOrge, was particularly
in favor of this, declaring that he
would dig gold and make them all
rich.
On the second evening after their
arrival at Forest Hill a good natured
miner mine strolling by their tent
and wens t e d Mrs. Wilder. who, f 1.4 it
was very warm, sat outside.
"(bust evening, ma'am," he said,
politely.
She returned his greeting court
eously.
"I is late now," said he, "to offer
my assistance. I would have come
round and helped you to put up your
tent, if I had known you were alone
with those children: - Is'nt your hus
band living, ma'am ?"
"No _he is dead."
And a shade erossetl her pale face,
as she recalled the Platte river and
the prairies.
Then she recounted the whole pain
ful history, telling how she had wor
ked in Sacramento, saying that she
was willing to wash for the miners,
and that her boy was determined 'to
dig for gold.
"I hope you'll get along well,
ma'am," said the good natured fel
low; "and your boy shall have every
show. Washing* is hard work, but
if you want to do such work for a
while, till ) 7 hur hoy strikes it rich,
you will find plenty to do, and every
man in camp will pay you well."
"Thank you," said the woman, de
lighted at the 'prospect. "I am very
willing to do the work. I feel BO
much better up here already. I
should have died if I had stayed in
Sacramento."
, "It's an unhealthy place, I know,"
paid he, "but it will be renovated in
time. By the way, you needn't be
frightened, but I must tell you that
thieve+ prowl about our camp.
They've - been going it for some time
and we can't catch them."
Mrs. \Vllderwas somewhat start
led.
"Oh. don't be scared!" said- he.
"They're not dangerous. They are
the sneaking kind. They only pick
up things slyly, and get out of the
camp as soon as possible. - They've
been seen, but always escaped. Joe.
Harris saw them one nightlast week
and say& they're Indians. It won't
be good for them it they're caught."
"What would be done with them?"
"Oh, they'd be himg, of course!
We folks hate stealing; and it's the
only thing any one -has ever been
hone for at Forest Hill."
' "Would they come into our tent?'
asked Mrs. Wilder.
"Oh, no! They Might reach in at
the door, or under the canvass to see
what they could carry off , but they
are Mighty sly.",
"If they come here, mother." put
n the little boy, "1 1 11 kill them with
he ax."
"What could you do, George?
they're big men you know."
"l'd fight them, anyhow," he said
bravely.
"Good my boy!" said the miner.
You'll be the right kind of a man
whpn you grow up. But of muse
you'r's not - very strong yet. If the
"robbers trouhle you just yell. That
wiaild do more good than your ax.
It %could rouse the camp; and if you
should be the means of getting them
cx►ught, I'd raise a collection of five
httrdred dollars for you before the
breath should be fairly out of their
bodies."
The ruiner stood talking with the
Wilders till the sun had set—then
he sauntered on.
"1r I can do anything fur you or
the ; children." !=a1(1 he at parting,
"let flue know. My name is Tom
Co(k. I live in that cabin over there,
just next to the one with the sign of
'Choke Liquors.' . There is a mess of
us—six."
Mrs - . Wilder thanked him, and
when'he had walked away ithe took
- fer hanakerehief\ tmd wiped away
F Orn9 tears that were gathering in her
eyes. -The kind voice of that blunt,
'honest man had touched some ten
der chord in her heart, and she wept
—she knew net why.
It was far, far in the night. The
moon had not risen till eleven, and
it was now away up in the bright
sky, so that it could look down Into
the brightest canon. The 'Wliders
had lain awake for hours talking
about the robbers, which seemed to
have made an unusual impression ou
them, but at last dozed off into uncon
scious rest, and the whole camp was
wrapped in sleep.
The children slept soundly. but
Mrs. Wilder was restless, and awoke
fronuently from half feverish dreams.
When I relate the singular circum
stances that occurred before the morn

rected by supernatural agencies; nor
do- I assert that they were not. I
*lmply tell the story.
It was between three and four
o'clock when Mrs. Wilder seemed to
.fall into a deeper slumber than she
had enjoyed that night. But it was
not free from dreams. Thus far she
had dreamed only of the mysterious
- robbers of which Tom Cookliiid told
her ; now her visions wandered away
back over years. Again she was on
the Platte river; again she saw her
husband—so distinctly—building his
ferry ; again she bid him good-Ve,

saw her husband lying in it, with a

With a scream that must have
wakened every sleeper at Forest Hill,
Mrs. Wilder started up from her rude
couch, now fully awake. and In the
dim light she saw a shadowy figure
standing a few feet from her, with a
hand still pointing at the earth, for
it was the same figure she had seen
In her dream. It stoodperfeetly mo

with a clatter inside the tent, as
though It had actually dropped
through the canvass.
"What's the matter, mother?" ask
ed George, springing up and seizing
his six.
At the same time his little sister
cried out in her terror :
"Oh, it's the robbers! They'll kill
us!" and she added a wail to the gen
eral confusion.
Hush, child !" said Mrs. 'Wilder,
who trembled so that sheeould hard
ly speak ; "they've gone away."
"Oh, they'll come back—l know
they will !'
George had hurried on his chithes,
and he rushed boldly out of the tent,
with his weapon, uttering a loud
shout.
Miners bounded from their tents
and cabins on all .sides, and hurried
to the scene. One or two of them
caught sight of two Indians making
off into the woods.
Mrs. Wilder struck a light with
tremulous hands, and hastily attired
herself.
"What's the matter? Is that you
sonny asked the first miner, hur
rying up.
It was Torn Cook.
"Yes, sir," replied George. "'no
robbers have been here. Mother
heard them, and I heard them run
ning away."
Mrs. Wilder came out.
"Were they here, Mrs. Wiltkr ?"
he asked, for he had learned her name
in the evening. fa
" Oh—yes—some one was," she an
swered breathlessly. " l've had—
Atli r► terrible dream."
" flay be you only imagined it,
then?" suggested Tom Cook ; while
the miners were hurrying up in all
directions.
" No she didn't," said George, ea
gerly. "I heard them!"
" \'ou bet she didn't !" exefaimed
one ul the miners excitedly. for he
had caught the hurried conversation
as he came up. " I saw them golie
for the woods; and theyr'e darnid
sneakin' Indians; I'd swear it!"
The crowd and the excitement in-
Tom Copk was standing where he
could peer Into the tent, and he no
ticed that there was a rent In one
side.
" What's that, Mrs. Wilder?" he
risked, as he stepped to the door and
pointed to the aperture.
Mrs. Wilder looked.
"Why, it's been cut!" she said, as
tonished.
Cook went round on the outside,
with a number of others, and exam
ined the point of interest. Yes, the
canvas had been ripped with a knife.
By this time the whole camp had
gathered around the tent of the Wit
ders, and as they learned the partic
ulars, loud imprecations were invok
ed on the unknown robbers. All was
hubbub and confusion.
Suddenly a scream was heard in the
tent. A rush was made (pr the door.
Had one of the robbersconcealed him
self within, and had Mrs. Wilderjust
discovered him? If so, Heaven help
him.
No, thew , stood Mrs. Wilder, gaz
ing with a terrified air at something
she had picked up near where the
rent had been made—and now, with
a shudder, she let it fall again at her
feet.
"What is it? What's the matter?"
was asked ; and Torn Cook, followed
by others, waived ceremony and en
tered the tent, while George with his
ax was without. answering the hur
ried queries of new-comers.
"Oh, Lord of . Heaven !" exclaimed
Mrs. Wilder, '• my murdered hus
band has been here this night! I shall
soon go to him I know!•lt's a warn

Scarcely knowing whether to con
skier - the woman sane or not, Tom
Cook advanced and picked up the
object that lay at her feet.

the mountain.

He scrutinized it moreclasely, and
then said :
" Yes. I'd swear to it. I borrowed
that knife two weeks ago, and return
ed it to its owner."
A pause ensued. The miners looked
at each other a moment, as If hesita
ting to ask the momentous qUe4ion.
At length ToM UK& asked it.
"Who?"
"A man at Bear-dap. But mind.
I don't say he's been here at any bad
tricks. His name's Mainly !"
"What !" exclaimed Mrs. Wilder
starting as though she had trodden
on a serpent. " Mallity ? Where—
where is he?"
"At Bear• Gap."
"Do you know him, ma'am?" ask
ed Tom Cook.
"He is one of the very men I told
you of last evening, Mr. Cook. One
that I always thought murdered my
husband! I know it now, and this
knife is his condemnation."
Thereupon she briefly related her
story to Tirrell, and others who had
heard it before.
"Cain it be that this man has been
coming all the way from Bear-Gap,
week after week, to rob us?" asked
Tom Cook.
" But. how about the Indians ?"
aqked another.
" They may have been disguised.
Who could the other he, Tin - ell."
"Don't know, unless it is his bunky.
Another man and he live together in
a cabin at Bear-Gap."
" Who :s the other?" asked Mrs.
Ni Ider.
"Sears is his name."
" Oh, Heaven!" exclaimed Mr.
Wilder, "the very names! They are
two men who murdered and robbed
my poor husband on the plains, and
that is the wa3t this knife came here.
Oh, shall they eseape,unpunished ?"
"No! no! not by a jug full! Not i
they're in Bear-(ap or in Califor
nia," was shouted on all sides.
" Let's track them home,—hunt
them down! Who's ready?"
The wildest excitement prevailed.

them in
the ground, - half dead with remorse
and terror, as they recognized her.
"Yes, yes!" she exclaimed wildly,
" I know you, Sears—Mallity—you
killed my husband ! You know it !
May you meet with the mercy he
received at,your foul hands!"
Her voice was raised almost to a
scream, and she waved her hands in
an excited way, as invoking the ven
geance of heaven.
Yea, the vision from the plains—
the ghilliof the murdered man that
had come into the mountains, and
carried the dreaming widow back to
the Platte river—that had roused her
from her slumber with a shriek that
startled the marauders while in the
act of cutting their way into the tent,
causing them to drop the tell-tale
knife—was the means of hunting
down the camp-robbers, and their
days were numbered.
A search it their quarters at Bear-
Gap had disclosed a considerable
quantity of gold dust which they had
evidently stolen, for-they had never
been known to dig much; but worse
than all. snugly rolled up and packed
at the bottom of a sack that was filled
with other things, were two complete
Indian outfits—featbers, belts, long,
black hair, and materials for staining
the face. Disguised as Indians, the
two villirms—Sears and Mallity, the
murderers of Abram Wilder—had
been robbing the various camps in
that vicinity for months.
Before sunset that evening they
eon fes.-ged all—including the murder
of Wilder—and the gathering shad
ows of night frowned on two silent
figures that were dangling hideously
from the boughs of a tree. Mrs. Wil
der was avenged! But she spoke
prophetically when shesaid her loved
companion had called her. She sick
ened and diedi within two months
from that night, and left her children
in the mountAin, while she crossed
the dark river to meet him with
whom she had parted on the banks
of the Platte.

anything like the circulation of
Ayer's Pills. Throughout these
States; Mexico awl the Central
American republic, down the slopes
of the Andes, and across the pampas
of South America, in negro villages,
amid the fervid wilds of Africa,
throughout the jungles of India, and
the steppes of interior Asia, over the
continent of Australia and the islands
of the Pacific, these Pills are known
and everywhere used as
.family rem
edies; for diseases. With distant na
tions, their wonderful cures attract
more attention than they do at home;
for the sentiment of wonder takes a
far deeper hold on their minds than
the results of a higher scientific, skill

the manufactory showed us how this
enormous demand is made and sus

skill of their composition, is an ex

which at once secures the most per.

combination. The consequence is a
power and certainty in controlling
disease which other remedies never

The details of these black transac
tions are of so dark a hue that even
the plastic whitewashing of Auditor
Ilartranft by our meek and amiable
Christian friend, Deacon White, can
not cover them, nor can the nmst
subtle ingenuity of our erratiefriend
of the Commercial obliterate them.
But we have neither time nor space
to follow the Sun in its elaborate de
tails. Those who can obtain ael'ezi.s
to the columns of that paper will be
richly repaid for their perusal as it
will open their eye. to the depravity
of public men in high places, and the
atssolute necessity for reform. The
Sun says :
"In attempting to trace the pro
ceeds of these operations, by which
the State of Pennsylvania has been
so heavily fleeced since her affairs
fell Into the keeping of these men,
the discovery is made at the outset
that dishonest gains seldom benefit
anybody. The Ring early entered
into some sort of an arrangement
with a young private banker of Phil
adelphia named C. T. Yerkes, Jr . ,
in whom they had reason to repose
trust, possibly because 1w was Willing
to wink at their rasealities, and
share the profits of their plunders
thus placing hini , elf on a footing
with them as robbers of the Com
monwealth. By this arrangement
an indefinite amount of the funds of
the State was placed on deposit in
Yerkes' hands, to be used by him on
speculations fur the benefit of Hart
ran ft and Mackey. They may aim)
have placed some of their stolen
funds in his hands, though I have
thus far I have failed to dismver that
they ever made any considerable pri
vale deposits with him. But, al
though the accounts show that their
stock transactions amounted to mil-
lions of dollars, the margins were as
Yerkes swears, drawn from Alie State
funds in his keeping. T4e ;impu
dence of the fellows wdriStirther
than this. As Conarnissioners of the
Sinking Fund they used that sacred
trust for their advantage, buying up
the bonds of the State at the bust bar
g!ins they could make, paying for
r t-wi with public funds deposited
with Yerkes, and then .e l " ^ " T" -
tal •i ntivaneed price, and poc k eting
the profits. The affidavits of Mr.
Yerkes, printed below, fully establish
this system of fraud.
"Having these ample facilities for
speculation they went in heavily,
and apparently got along swimming
ly until the failure of the Fourth Na
tional Bank of Philadelphia omision
ed a weakness, soon followed by a
temporary collapse of the stock mar
ket, precipitated by the calamitous
fire at Chicago, when all. the public
funds they could muster wereabsorb
ed in margins, and still their poor
broker Yerkes was unable to float
them or himself through. In this
emergency the TreaSurer of the city
of Philadelphia, Joseph F. Marcer,
was appealed to, and Liane to their
aid with a temporary l(atn to Yerkes
or a special deposit, which amounted
to the same thing, of $300,000. This
was a relief, and would probably
have carried theta safely through,
but that Marcer got frightened, and
without notice or warning, burst the
thing completely, and Yerkes went
up, and his books, accounts, and as
sets went into the hands of a receiver
in bankruptcy. Here was a pretty
kettle of fish! Here was the depot
tart' of the State funds a bankrupt
and his office, with all its damaging
records, in the hands of the law.
Chen what a scattering there was
"Ilartranft disappeared in one di
rection. Mackey in another, while
their friends surrounded poor Yerk es
on every hand, beseeching him to
shoulder the responsibility and keep
mum. It was very sr ion seen that
the State funds had been used in
speculations, which is a criminal of
fence in the eyes of the Pennsylvania
statutes. Proceedings were (prompt
ly begun against Yerkes, who was ar
rested and indicted for this misuse of
the public money. and with him the
Philadelphia Treasurer, who had
precipitated the calamity and last
Isis money as well. Yerkes' books,
according to instruction. had been so
kept as to render obscure the part
Ilartranft and Mackey had in the
business, and if he would consent to
keep still they were safe. But if he
ever opened his mouth they were
sure to accompany him to the peni
tentiary. In this trying crisis they
prudently kept out of sight, but kept
their friends constantly about t he ex
ploded banker, begging him to say
nothing. But Yerkes' only defence
and escape from the penitentiary
was. in letting the truth be known,
and he knew it. And so he answer
ed Hartranft's and Ma key's appeals
through their friends, protesting
loudly against going to prison as a
vicarious sufferer for theirs ins. This
they assuretthim by everything goisi
and holy he should not do; that they
would we that he did not suffer if he
would only protect the two fugitives.
He finally promised to assume the
odium and spare them if their friends
would insure him against incareera
tion in the penitentiary- This they
readily agreed to do, and even pro
duced a written promise that in case
of eon v ict ion and sentence het\ erkes) ,
should be pardoned before he could
be put in prison.
On this pledge Yerkes stood his
trial and remained quiet. He was
convicted, of course, and sentenced
to a term of two years and nine
months in the penitentiary.- He took
t all heroically, having faith in the
written pledge which the friends of
Hartranft and Mackey had shown
him. Even when the sheriff came,
to conduct him to prison, he started
off cheerfully, assuring his keepers
-that the Governor's message would
overtake them with his pardon be-"
fore they could reach their gloomy
destination. But no monger over
took them, and poor Yerkes was
turned over to the custody of the
warden of the penitentiary. That
official was so assured by the prison
er's abiding confidence that he would

Mortal Maladies.
The spark that kindles a general
contlagratiou would do but little mis
chief if attended to on its first appear
ance; so it is with Consumption, that
has nearly always been looked upon
as a mortal disease. It never would
become so if heeded at its first ap
proaches. Of the whole catalogue of
diseases, nearly every one of them
can he cured by care and attention.
Dr. Keyser has published a pamphlet
of thirty-two pages, in which he
shOws conclusively the curability of
Pulmonary Consumption by means
of his great Lung Cure, now sold by
most respectable druggists. The
pamphlet will be sent to any address
free of cust,un application, or will be
given to any one at the Doctor's Med
ical odic', lii Liberty street, Pitts
burgh. It contains the main points
of treatment pursued by the Doctor
in his management of Lung and other
Chronic 11i:4eases,- with certificates of
some very ext mord inary cares in this
immediate vicinity.
Thuusauuls of witnesses can testify
to the value of I►r. Keyser's Lung
Cure, not only in the incipient or
forming stages of Lung disease, but
even in long standing chronic cases.
That the mortality of Could be great
ly lessened by early attention and
the use of Dr. Keyses;;s Lung Cure
can hardly be questioned, when we
look at the important cures of per
sons who live under our, immediate
observation,and who walk our streets
daily in good health, rescued through
its virtues.
