Select Story. Tin! STOEY OF A COUPE. Every one in Paris knows Darley, the livery stable keeper, lliseslablishmeiitis now half a century old, and ho furnishes the Faubourg St. Germain with all tho earrigesthey hire. Many of the upper ten have their homes in the country, and never take their hoists to Paris. There fore, Monsieur do Merisi, immediately after his arrival, went to see Darley to engage a coupe After tho usual salutations, tho follow ing dialogue began : "Well, Datley, I want a handsome coupe, with one" horso ; now how much will it bo 1" 'What will tho amount of work be, sir?" "Oh, not very much. I never want it before o in tho afternoon. I pay a few visi(s,and takca drive in the park. In the evening I want it to take mo to the theatio or home from the club." Darley reflectively scratched his head. " Well.how much a month do you want for it?" "Hum lot me see. For a new coupe and a good horse in May, tho busiest month .r0 francs is cheap." "What! from ." o'clock to midnight or 1 o'clock in tho morning '?" "You must remember that during tho remainder of tho tiino I can't use either the coupo or tho horse." "Well, let us say 700 francs ; that's handsome pay for so little vtoik " "All light," grumbled Darley. "Santo place, I suppose." "Ves." "Well, I'll send it around to-nior row." An hour later Dai ley received, with tlio utmost respect, an impoitaiit custo mer, Mme. do Delroy. " Well, iiiiidamo.wliat can I do for yon? Carriage, oh 1 Well, let mo recommend a landau in that madamo's toilet can bo seen to tho best advantage." "No.sir; as you sec, I am yet in inourn ing,aud came to Paris only to settle some affairs." "Hut madame will pardon mo if I say that in a coupo her beauty " "No, Monsieur Darley, I am a widow, and I live retired I want a carriage only for my shopping and such things; a coupo with one horse.elegantly lined, but dark. How much will it bo per month?" "That depends upon tho work." "Oh, it will not bo much. At 0 o'clock I will drive to mass ; after breakfast I shall havo a call to make and shopping to do; at !1 o'clock I shall drive homo. This is all, for I never go out in tho evening." "Well, inadame.diiringMay, our busi ness month, tho price is 700 francs a. month." "Too much, I think. It seems to hip that COO francs" "Conuynadunie,! have something that will just suit you; something very ele gant but quiet-, lined with silk " "ion tempt me. Well, be it so. bend it around to-morrow morning." And so it huniioncd that M. do Merisi and Mine, do Helroy had the same coupo by tno iiioutii, The gentleman found this out very soon. Ono day he saw in one of tho coupo pockets a notebook with gray cnnmeled cover nnd gold border, in which were several cards. On tho back of some of iheso were memoranda, s.ucli as calls to bo made impiessions, rellections, etc. Uu examined a card aud read on ono side: Madami: nv; Uni.uor. On the other side, in n delicate, femin ine, handwriting, wcrn these penciled lines : After Mass to tho Sisters. Then to tho Mission for thy Poor. At half.past lii, my lawyer. Then to tho cemetery. Then to St. Thomas' Church. At 2 o'clock to see grandmamma. At 8 o'clock, Julius. Now I feel that he is inino. Tho coupo htoi)ted at tho club, "Shu must bo a saint," thought lUeriai; "but who is this Julius?" Ho replaced thu notebook -where lit had found it, and, alighting aid to tho ooaciiman : "borne ono loft n notebook in the coupe. Co!!sequently,somotnu must have used it. Tho coachman'B confusion showed Merisi that bo was'jiot mistaken. Tho sniio of Mine, do Helroy wanfnot un known to to liltn, but lie Imd lived bo long nwity from runs tli.it ho cotildn t ro ini'tnber who film wns. And room ii Ih milcix'd the club room ho sought for In iommtinii, "Do llass'iiio.'" said ho. "do von know n Mine, do lSelrov?" " us, mulled the trentloiiinti. "shn tlmi. wnslittluDeSt..Sao!ine. Poor Helrov died lust year, and she is plunged in grief. It was n great loss.' "Who? Uelroyt" "No; his wife who is charming, but is always invisible, Society sees her no more." Merisi now waited nii.xlously for an other lind in tho coupe. I5ut, alasl for a whole week neither notebook nor any thing else was forgotten. Hut the little "saint." who spent her time so piouslv. occupied his mind incessantly. So he said ono evening to tho coachman : "I have discovered that my coupe is also used by Mine, do llelroy." Do not deny it ; I am sure. Now, I am curious to see this lady. Tell 1110 where 1 might do so." ( "Well, sir, every morning nl nine, o'clock I lake her lo mass at tho Church of S't. rhillippe." Next morning M. de Merisi was puno ttml, and saw his saint al. her devotions It seemed to him that nuver before had ho seen such a lovely face. Sho was still in mourning. Sho wore a small bonnet of black tulle, which framed her lovely blonde hair; a lout' veil of black gauzo hung down on tho train of her dress, which wns of dead black silk.tiim ined with black surah. In her black gloved hands were a missal full of saints' pictures ami illuminated texts, Merisi paid little attention to the mass. "Ab, thought he, "if I had known mere was on earl 1 1 sueli n woman beautiful, young, modest nnd sliunniii society on i i would have adored Her How gracefully she makes the sign of the cross. She is a little saint. Hut that Julius who the deuce can ho be'.' 1' loin this moment Monsieur do McrNi hung upon her steps. lie saw her every morning nt the church of Si. Phillippo, anil lonowe,; Her coupe in another o.ie Her route was neailv alwavs the same Jo her grandmother's, to the parish pi'ie?.ls, to the bisters nt Charily, to her lawyers olliee, aud a long slay al a house on the Hottlevard St. Michel. At last De Merisi came lo tho conelii sion that he was a fool. He was oceu pled with Mine, do Helrov to such a de gree that he neglected for her sake the affairs for which ho had come to Paris. There was only one thintr to bo done to ask permission to bo presented to her and lo pay his addresses to her. Ills state of mind was becoming intolerable bo one day, at the club, he said to M. do Villepeite, who was nicknamed the "Elite Dnectory "Do you know tho Helroy family, Villo- perlel "Very well, indeed; but there s not many left only the grandmother and daughter-in-law." "Could you- present me?" "Hum not easily; the grand mother is 80 years old; the young widow is nearly always in tho country and lives very re tired since the death of her husband." "Come, now, as a great favor to me." "Well, I'll see." "Hut at once, because I'm going to go away." "Well, I'll go to-morrow and see the grandmother." "Arc you acquainted with tho young widow, too?" "Known her ever since she was born, my dear boy; u handsome, distinguished and graceful woman." "And she is hum hum never been any scandal about her, has there." Villeporto arose with such precipita tion that ho ovei turned his cliair. "What do you meant" ho roared. "Mine, do Helroy! Why, not a whisper has been heard " Outwardly ili.-comlittcd, but inwardly rejoicing, Merisi aliased himself before his indignant friend, and finally succeed ed in making his peace. The next morning ho again followed tho charming widow, who spent her time as usual. Tho stay which she made at tho Houlevaid St. Michel, however, seemed a little longer than usual. And it seemed to him when she came nut thai her toilet was a little disarranged. Her hair was dishevelled, her hat awry, and her collar iumpled. Hut after sonio moments of jealous rage, tho answer of Monsieur do Villeperto came to his mind tud he quickly repented ot his distrust. The t'raudmolher had been very amia ble, and had given Monsieur do Villo- peitu pei mission to present his friend. This was soon done and Monsieur de Merisi fell deeper in lovo than before, if it were possible. The old lady befriend ed him, too. Ho was her partner at the card table, and used to rend to her news papers and tho newest of novels. He was a clever lellow, was Dr. idensi. Hut ho was a suspicious fellow,too,and ho had retained tho coupe, hoping again to find thu nolo which had so deeply in terested him. "Julius" stuck in his memory.

The Career of a Itamlit. Tho steamer City of New Orleans ar rived in Now York on tho morning of July 12th, having on board Ouiseppe Esposito, alias ltada..o, a noted Italian brigand, who escaped from his native country somo years ago, and has since been living in New Orleans, where lie wns reecntlv captured ntthe instance ol tholtalian Consul, lie is charged with i terrible catalogue of crimes. He was chief of a band of robbers who infested tho island of Sicily and especially the neighborhood of Palermo, robbing, mur dering and holding captured travelers tor ransom. When the carriage passed from the wharf out of the gate into West street, such cries i.s "The infernal bandit!" "Sco the murdeieri" "He ought to bo hung without a trial!" came from a crowd of 'longshoremen who were waiting for admission to begin unloading tho steamer. The prisoner was in tho custody of Detective James Moonoy and an assistant, who were sent to New Or leans by the Italian Chargo d' Affaires to arrest Esposito. They had a warrant for his apprehension from Secretary of State Blame. Tho brigand hasadaik, piercing eye, jet black cmly hair, beard, and mousjielic. regular featu.es, anil is what might bo called a handsome man. His height is live feet seven inches and weight one hundred and folly pounds. Ho had on litis morning a pepper-and-salt coloied suit well worn, a blue check muslin shirt ami it soiled and broken Panama hat. lie looked like the aver age street vender of fruit. There is noth ing in his appearance to indicate that he is a man of brutal passions, whose bands have been iked in human blood, ami who, as the leader of a baud of banditti, created terror throughout a large part of Italy. a CAur.m: or ckimi:. The accounts of Esposito's career as a bandit are somewhat conflicting, but they agree in the main facts. For about iifteen years preceding the year 1878 noted band of robbeis infested the island of Sicily and especially the neighborhood of Palermo, robbing, murdering aud holding captured travelers for ransom. Tho band was for yeais known as I.e one's, from tho name of its chief. Leone was dually, however, pursued so hotly by the Italian authorities that ho was lorced to take reliigo in Algena, wlieio it is said ho was killed in a drunken brawl. Esposito was born in Palermo, and at an early ago ran away and loineil tins band Leone liked him and in tune made him his lieutenant. When Leone lied, Espo sito became tho head of the band, aud in i little timu gained almost as bad a noto riety as l.eono himselt. lite charges against Esposito are: First, with being a member of an outlawed band; second, with having extorted by violence 2.r0,000 lire; third, exlmtiou through violence of 10,000 lire; fouith, premeditated murder; hlth, extortion by violence ot 8,000 lire sixth, a seoond murder, with premedita tion; seventh, another extortion with vi olenco of IIO.OOO lire. In the latter caso thu victim died, after a release, through Ins mimics. In tho eighth place, hspo sito is charged with tho sei.uro and mu tilation of an English curate, tho Hov. ,Iohn l'orester Hose. J heso aro only some of tho charges, lor l'.spositos ca reer was a most daring one. (JUTTIMI Ol t' A CI.KKOV.MAN S HAI1S. When the clergyman was captured, he wns taken into the mountain fastness anil Esposito in the nicnntimu wrote a letter to bis wile, who was in London, to the effect that if shu did not ransom him for the sum of JI.VUOO they would torture him to death. Mrs. JUosu consulted thu authorities and they advised her not to pay tho money. Holoro sho sent an an swer the brigands wrote n second letter to tho distracted wile, threatening that H sho did not forward thu money by re turn mail they would cut off ono of her husband scars and send it to her. Iler friends tried to cheer her aud laughed at such a threat, blio wrote, relusiiig to pay tho ransom, when tho brigands car ried out tho horrible threat, and tno tmrci letter sho received enclosed tho right ear of the unfortunate clergyman. Thesamo letter also contained a threat that if tho money was not now sent a llko package would bo sent to her containing her bus baud's left car. Soon after tho wife re ceived her husband's left ear and u lotter telling her that his noso would bo sent next and other parts ol his body would follow. I lion receipt ot this letter idrs. Hose fell seriously ill nnd her friends, by great cilorls, at last raised the money. which was forwarded, whereupon the clergyman was released and returned to Kiiglntid, having sullered thu loss ol ins ears only. When Mr. Hose related his grievance to the homo authorities, the English government nt onoo took the matter up, assuming such a position that the Italian uovernmeitt sent out a strong military force and thoroughly searched the mountain icireats ot tho brigands, In theso rahls. wl 'oh weio pursued with vigor, many of (lie bandits were killed and a laro number captured. Anion tho prisoners was Esposito.

The oil obtained from thee nakes, by frying out tho fat, is said lo possess wonderful medicinal virtue. Ho was necompanird by n sagacious dog that was considered agootl snake-hunter. lie had not been in the vallev very long before tho dog camo on a whole nest of attlesnakes iut on the edge ol it big wheat ll-'ld.

Night camo on and tho snake had not been captured. As it was such a largo ono bo disliked to give it up and camp ing on the summit of tho mountain ho remained there all night. Early next morning the dog was put on the trail and tho pursuit was begun again. The snake as soon discovered, bill it crawled later than its pursuer could run and seemed to bo making lor the river. Down the north side of Bald Eagle it moved with accelerated motion and descending a ra- ino made lor the river. I ho dog in the meantime following tho trail closely.kept Mr. ood advised where it was. "Of ill the snakes that I ever heard of," said Mr. Wood, "this was tho most re markable and I determined tocaptnre it." s it ncared some open ground at the foot of the mountain ho thought ho could overtake and dispatch it, but he was mistaken. Occasionally he caught a glimpse of it as it moved ahead rapidly, but could not come up with it. On reaching thu bank of the river it. slid down quickly and taking tho water com menced swimming for the other shore. This was moro than ho had bargained for. Some tuno was lost before ho could get a boat to take himself and dog over tho river, and tho snake had got a good start. lhe trail was found again near the oil works, and it was evident that this sagacious rattler was making for the hills. Tho pursuit was continued, and late in tho afternoon ho and his dog canieup with the reptile in tho Hlooming Grove settleipent,about three nulos north of Williamsport. It was evident that its strength was failing,and as it was iu the act of crawling through tho fence ho struck it with his club and broke iis back. The work of dispatching it did not occupy a .liinuto, and this peculiar snake at last lay dead at, tho feet of its pursuers tno man ami uog. ji mcas- men seven icet in longiu.anu ns tan was inorneii wiiu seventeen rauies una a -I 1 ll.ii . bulion.
