THE BAILOR'S OHESi;. A I.Klir.NI) OFTWOOl.ll N0UTI1 Or UNO- i.ANI) FAMILIES. Tho coast of Durham, in tlio North of England, ia, abrupt mid oraiy.

Iletidon Mow, ns it was called, was ono ot theso farm louses, and ptood about half n milo from, tho coast on rising ground not far from tho town of Durham. Thiity years nco it was fast fallintr into decay, and probably by this tftno, is in ruins'. A hundred and fifty years ago a fine old liqusu occupied tho site, tho dwelling of tho lfetulon fa mil v. Tho llendons had been wealthv. but freo livintr nnd habits of unthrifL had greatly reduced their revenues.' in liil I Luthbcit lluudou oaino into! possession of the property when hd at tained his majority. IIu Had a sister1 IJarbarn, but lour' vcars youimer than himself, and a brother Uulp'li, 12 years, of agv.i Their father, during the last ten years ot Ins life, during which ho was n widower, had lived a lifo of riot. and the education which his famiiyirc-, ceived at homo was not such as was likely to boar good, fruit. Tjio father's1 associatra had been men of looso morals and unbridled passions, and to some of' them crimo vjna not uufatnlliar. Lat terly thu elder Ilundon had added to i Ins income by cnuauini; cvtenslvfclv in coutraoaml trade, tlio locality and con- struction of his dwelling beint; pecu liarly favorable to suoh a calling. Cutb bert had been duly indoctrinated info the art oi smuggling' and disposing of tho plunder, and when his father died ho was thoroughly competent to coif- tinue the business. Taking his younger brother into his confidence, he found him active tind intelligent boyond his years. As to Isarbara, sho was a cqihely, well-spoken girl, and had picked up a little educa tion at a boarding, school at. Durham, where she had resided, with a feliuht intermission of holidays, for a few years. :t the time when ,ttiis narrative uo- gins she was peimanctitly residing uat home. During the latter pait bf 1730, few cargoes of smuggled goods had been successfully landed, ahd'thoJfinances,f the Ilundon family were, getting low. Toward tho closo of January, 1731, thcro was a three days' calc, and many coasters were ashore. Ilendon and his brother, aided by two men in their employ, had been active in gatheiing in from the wreeks whatever was ,ot value, but this was comparatively tri lling. On the night of January 29th they received intelligence that u large ves sel was off the coast near Durham, and likely to come ii&hore. In fact, thu signal gnns of distress could bo heard at intervals between tho blast. Cuthbert and ltilph hastened to the scene, just in time to see the vessel driven over tho breakers and dashed upon tho shore. Seores of fishermen and others were on tlio spot, some to render help, but more to secure what thoy could that was valuable. Cuthbert and Ralph carried off' be tween them a largo trunk, and convoy ed it in safety to tho Mow. It con tained little 'of value, however, and, angry and disappointed, Cuthbert re turned to tho beach, followed by Ralph. An hour later Ralph appeared at the house, and refusing tho tood ottered by his sister, lay down on the coach in tho largo kitchen, and apparently slept. After a time Cuthbert returned, and seemed to bo in excellent spirits. Send ing Ins sister ott to bed, nnd reassuring himself that Ralph slept, ho sat down before tlio fire and ate heartily, drink- ng treely ol Hollands, and then smok ng. Ifavini; finished his pipe, he drew from his pocket a huge leathern belt, and squatting before tho fire, which furnished the only light in thu room, ho examined the contents of what was oyidputly a largo purse. First sitisfy- ing himself that he was unobserved, ho emptied upon tho rug a pilo of golden coin, which ho scrutinized closely, and then returned to tho belt. Ralph raised his head slightly from tho coach nnd watched his brother. Tho coin being returned to its place, Cuth bert put the belt in his pocket, and, after gulping down more liquor, pulled off his boots, put more logs on tho fire, wrapped, hjmself in a hugo blanket and lay down in front of tlio fire. ; Net' 'iay it was ascertained that only five persons on board tho vessel at tho.tirrfo she was driven ashore were saved.- IJeforo this, however, a boat witli seven persons on board had loft tbo vessel, but it was considered doubt ful-whether tho boat could live in such a sea. Among thoso rescued wero a man who called himself John Rans- com, and his daughter S.-illiu. IIo ap peared to bo a rough, hearty man, who raado light of tho calamity, and said ho was' satisfied to loso what ho had lost, since his daughter's lifo and his own wore saved,, and ho had managed to bring away with him all his money and somo jowols. Tho .daughter was a large, wcll-mado woman of about 23, with black eyes, abundant black hair, and a bold, handsome face. Hondoti scon made this mail's' acquaintance, and tlio two were niiiCh together. "I Lavo lived lor ten years, ' ho Baid, "in Calcutta, and havo mado nionoy ; not tmi oh, but sufficient to start some thing tiiat will pay. My idea is to go to London and start an inn down among tho shipping, I havo a large acquaintance among tho best of the captains and sailors hailing from the Thames, and I can mako a good thing out of it. : .' ' "What do you thjuk of my joining von I" Uuthbert asked. "I havo n little money, and wo might do well. My sister and brother can get along very welt hero lor a while, and 1 can help them, It need be.' Rau8com caught at this, and arraugo-; mcnts wero soon mado. isarbara o posed tno scheme tor a time, tmuiaipn entreated her to let Cuthbert go, as surlng her that with tlm littlo thoy hail they could get along. Then ho iiiadej a communication to uer which luaucj her shudder and grow pale, and almost) faint i and nfter this sho exchanged fow words with hur older brother, ,nml n in duo course. Cuthbert, R.Hiot'Om nnd Sftllio, sailed in a coaster for the Thames. - . A few weeks nfter this thero catno to Durham a young sailor, who gave liU uamu ns Hugh Hlnok. lie was a bright, liniidfomp lellpw, nnd announced Unit io was .ono of tho crewflf a wrecked vessel, who had escaped in the boati Black found, liw way to tho scene of the wreck, and inato no secret of thrj fact that lip, had conio to seo whether anyfh'nib had been Been of hlsBija'-ehest, on which ho appeared lo set groat, v'oW uq. N6no' knew 'ftt'iyf.Jiiiig' of it. At tho slierecstton of ' s6md iJhe. BlA'ck! .'isited tho 5t0W.-wheftt ho found Ralpli nVwbrlc building a pigsty. i no boy was struck with tho hand omo voutifr sailor, and entered frcelv! into conversation with hint. AVhcn ho learned that ho was, ono, of tho survi vors 6f th6. wreck, his, interest was Itj-i creased, nfid, taking iu'tn into tlio big, kitchen, ho introduced him to Barbara, who was busy at tho ohurn. Room would fail to civo all tho de tails,, and so; it must euflico to'say-tlmb tho young sailor waB heartily woloomod,, and stayed ithcro that night, occupying n bed with Rnlplv whom. ho fascl-, nnted with tales tof tho !ea' nnd distant climes. Next day Ulnck disclosed to Ralph that tho Jbject of his visit was to dis co ver,' iif i possible, someitfiioos ofihisj missing ohest. Tho blood niched to tho boy's fnco, for ho hail no doubt that the trunlc.which ho. had helped! his brother to carry to tho house! from the beach belontrod to the vounct sailor. Despite, his. ,carly training, Ralph was naturally a truthful and honorable boy. 'nnd ho hesitated but a motrifcntim disclosing tli6' fact that such a chest as' the Bailor described was then In the hotisc. 1 ' 'My brother' ho said', "Wah engagfHl, in Btmiggling1,. 'ami1 had' secrol' places where ho stowed coods. The trunk is th'cVe, but I'm afraid it' Is empty. 'What is worso I fear my brother has tho keyS." ' ' Kalph, however, had a hatinv thoticrlit. nnd liu, added, quickly : "It'rf iiist possible ho didu t take the koye. I'll search' whero ho ijsod to hide them, and bo back in a minutq." ' With that he' rati off alid shortly re turned with the keys. Going into the byer, or c'ow-hb'ise, in the rear ot ihb dwelling, tho sailor nccompaiiyhig him. Kalph lighted a lantern. Then, lifting tho lid of 'a'corif bin, h'dsaidT "Tho-.bottom of this bin, lifts tip, and below.are siairs leading to the'cellar of tho old pastle. Lay hold qf tlio, nail in the far corner and pull.", TJie sailor did so, and tho bottom came away, revealing a flight of steps. Ralph climbed into tlio bjn, (followed by JSlack, and they "descended .the steps into a vault, ' Selecting a key, Ralph applied it to tho lock, of a door in oue, corner, aud.in a moment thoy were iusido a spacious cellar. On the floor lay soores of empty barrels, pack ages, boxes' and lumber of all kinds, and among them the chest. Tho sailor was iu high spiiits, though ho found it empty. "Never mind tho duds,'' ho said ; "there is something more important than all." With this, ho turned the chest on end, took out his knife and applied it to a screw in the bottom. Then he removed another screw at tho other end, and the next moment the, false bottom of tho' chest was removed, dis closing a space in which lay several papers and a small case. Theso ho eagerly drew forth, and tho two re turned by tho way they had come. "Say nothing," said thesnilor."Thijso aro invaluable to me, and some day you may bo nono tho worso off for having helped mo to recover fhera." So much remains to be told .that tho story must hasten. After a slay of over tx week at the Mowj Black dopart edj In ten days ho landed from a smack at Wap'pin'g Old Stairs, London. and at tho invitation ot a big, jolly man, whom he thought ho had seen before, he went to a sailor's hotel near by, and this was tho place just bought' tint by Ranscoin and Quthbert Hcii don, tho latter of whom had assumed tho uamu ot I'm (lips, as Ulaelc np-i peared to be well supplied with money,' Unscom, who was nn unmitigatod scoundrel, began to plot to bleed him. Cuthbert was now' the husband ofSal lie, and she was used to inveigle Black. Like most sailors, ho was only too sus ceptible to female blandishments. Tho tact ot ballios being (Juthborts wife was concealed, and all that Black kuow was that she was Rausoom's, daughter. llu Boon discovered that Kanscom ami Sallio had been passengers on tho ves sel of which ho was boatswain, and in fact recognized them, though ho had not seen much of them aboard. Black was induced to marry Sallio, and tho best part of his money was secured by tho conspiiatora. Thou ho was accused by an accomplice of Ranscom's of hav ing stolen Ins watch, and turned him ono morning out ot thu house, llr.s was a fortunate thing for him. l'urehasing a wherry with money which ho had left ou deposit witli tlio owner of tho wrecked vessel, ho plied liis' trado im' tho Thames.

Tho popers whioh ho had bo fortunately rooovorcd in his trtfnk coupled With tho mark ou his arm fully established his identity, nnd his father welcomed him witli unspoak nblo joy nnd affeotion. Twenty-threo ycftifl before, when Sir Thomas was re turning from Indiai with his wifo and child, tho vessel louiidcnm at sea, and wifo and child wore supposed to havo perished. '1 ho boy, then 1 years old, had, howover, boon rcsouod by a sailor, placed in one of the boats to whioh tho crow and pass-oncers had recourse, nnd brought up as tho man's own child. Tho lion had been tattooed on tho child's arm when ho was 2 years old by an old man-of-warsman whom'Sir Thomas had in his employ, and who for his unauthorized act had boon soundly thrashod by tho irate lather. Littlo did he think that this mark would afterward oriable him to recover iis only child. Hugh lSlaok,Or HdwardHrauudspoy, ho was now called, took up his nbodo at Branndspoy Hall with his lather. A year passed, and ho paid a visit to Ilendon Mow. There, to bis consternation, ho met "Cuthbert and tho woman to whonijie had been married. She asicrtcd' her claim to him and ho was helpless.

Barbara was in a dreadful state of excitement. Ralph had disappeared and she had been subjected to cruel treatment. The secret depositories in tho foundations of tho Old buildings word searched, and Ralph was found then; a miserable skeleton. His broth er, 'as a punishment for'glving infor mation to Edward1 Braundspey, had incarcerated him, and had furnished him with sullicit-nt food to keop bod and soul toge'thcr. Proper care was taken of him, and his'slsterj and Cuth- )ert and his wif J woi'o arrested. Subsequently Rilph tnadu' a state ment with respect to the leathern belt already mentioned. On the night of the shipwreck, ho said, after bringing tho trunk to, tho house, he followed his brother on his return to thu beach. An old man, who se6medto bo a foreigner, was struggling up the chits, and, in answer to questious by Uu'tlibert, Said ho had boon saved from tlio wreck, and wanted a place of security. "!' have money," ho said, ""about me; plenty .of money, with which I can re pay you if you will give mo shelter And find me a doctor; for 'my arm is broken." Ralph stood behind a rock and over heard the conversation. IIo saw his brother strike down tho old man with tho butt'end of a pistol and then search his body for th'o money which ho had said he possessed. Ho saw his brother rip tho belt from tho body' and drag it after him until he' reached an old well into which he flung it. itns well Was searched, and tho re mains wero fohnd there. Cuthbert com mitted suicide in Durham Jail. Sallio was cqnvic'ted of bigamy and sent out of tho country.

Now, however, in well appointed sporting country housed, so ciety gives itself up to a succession of moals, which succeed each othbr, with brief intervals for rest, from hiornlng hours till long past dewy eve. Beforo tho ladies indeed, boforo most of tho gentlemen lcavo their beds, dainty littlo services of tea and bread and butter aro carried to them. Sometimes the younger men prefer brandy and soda. Fortified by theso refreshments, tho non-sporting guests come to breakfast nbout ten. Four hot dishes, eyory sort of cold meats that might fitly furnish forth a feast, fruits, cakes, tea, coffee, cocoa, claret on the sideboard, constituto a Satisfac tory breakfast. Tho Important insti tution of luncheon begins nt two. Again tho tablo is Rproad witli many varieties of flesh and fowl, hot and cold proofs of the cook's ability. The la dies gather around tho tea tablo about five, usually showing much apprecia tion of any little surprise in tho way of mnflins, or tea-cakes, provided by' a thoughtful hostess. Then comes dinner, which is served at 8. or half-past, and at which tliO' lloral arrangements nru probably of the! most.elaborato description, tho resOnr-i ces of tho head gardolior having been I taxed to tho utmost, whilo sometimes baskets of flowers from Paris or Nice form the centre of a;groiip. By 10, or half-past, dinner is generally over. Coffeo is brought into tho dining-room, while the gentlemen smoke. It fs whis pered that sonio of tho ladies ' enjoy a post-prandial cigarette. Liquors and tea aro offered during tho evuning, and keep up flagging energies till the la dies ostensibly go t3 bed, after a little money has changed hands at poker ' or loo. Then the serious business of the night begins for tho gentlemen, who dive into the recesses of tho' smoking room, and brews of many kinds aro prepared effervescing waters, whisky, brandy, claret, lemons in profusion must be at hand. As it is in feeding, so it is in dress ing ; thero is tho samo extravagance. Ladles spend more money on their toi lets than their mothers, and far more than their grandmothers did. Many ladies whoso fortunes cannot be con- sidered large spend S3000 a year on iuuii ujnui.li:, una it 13 nnr, unusual ior tho annual expenditure on dress alone to rise to 85000. Sixty guineas is not an uncommon price for one court dress. Notwithstandiucr all this, costumes change with the barometer, and ladies change their dresses threo timus during the evening.

Two Women Hanged. I.IVKS SACItlFICI'.l) IN OltDI'.ll TO OAIN TlIK IS'SUKANCi: J10NCV ON Til KM. Yesterday witnessed the grim clos ing scene of ono of tho most atrocious of modern tragedies. Catharino Flan nagau and Margaret Higglns wero hanged nt Kirkdalo jail for tho mur der of Thomas Higglns. Though only convicted in 0110 out bf thb four cases got up by tho prosecution, there can not bo tho smallest doubt that theso two women wero instrumental in oaus ing tho deaths pt tlirco other persons, and very possibly of many others be sides. Husband and child and friend wero sacrificed without pity and with out compunction by theso terriblo sis ters. 1 hoy appeared to havo died as they lived callous. It has been re peatedly rumored that ono or tho'othor had confessed to tho justice of tho sen tence, but tho Roman Catholic, chap lain states that, though Iliggins was disposed nt the last moment to mako a formal statement, Flannagan always tlio more resoluto of tho two refused todivulgo anything. there is, however, talk ot their hav ing implicated other pcisons in similar crimes to those for which thoy havo Buffered the extreme penalty of tho law. Peoplo of tho evil disposition of theso wretched would bo delighted to see others caught iu tho same toils as themselves, and wo may bo sure would nbt bo very scrupulous in their' Btate meilts.

At a house at the south end of tho city there have beon many exhibitions of materialized spirits of late. Some of those who knew of theso exhibitions were con vinced that thoy were fraudulent, and laid apian for their exposure. Tho utory, as it is told to me, is to the effect that fifteen of our citizens agreed to go to gether to the house and investigate the matter to the bottom. They arranged a plan of operation in advance. The seances are held in a darkened room. Thu materialized Bpiiits issue from a cabinet and move about the circle con versing with those who compose it. The arrangement was that one of the party should seize upon tho spirit, whilo another, who took a seat near the gas-burner, should sti ike a match and turn on the gas at tho signal, when the investigation should proceed, This was strictly carried out. The spirit ap peared in the form of a .sailor. The active party in the circle watched his opportunity, and threw his anus with a muscular grip about the sailor, when the room was suddenly illumined, and bo found himself elas'ping a woman. She fought vigorously to bo free, and dealt her captor n blow which left a mark on his faco. Tho sailor costume came off iu the struggle, and though, the woman retreated, tho parties got posusision of thfc cabinet nnd ennied away the paraphernalia by which this mpositiou hail been carried on.
