THE BUSHRANGERS. My story hae one great merit : it is Inte. A simple narration, therefore, of the following authentic events in oon ■ action with two notorious Australian bushrangers, Peureon and Ruiherford, My be read with some interest. The scoundrels had a short and not very brilliant career, but the details which I learned from eye-witnesses, the facta that came out in the polioe court, where I had the painful duty to ait as one of the committing magistrate* in the ease of one of them, and the aubneqaent awful fate of the other, together make ' ®P • reoord of crime not unworthy of reproduction; and should this story reach the eyee of any of thoee who were ooooernod in it, they will pardon me for adhering ao scrupulously to the bare facta and incidents that I have not even suppressed their name*. During the terrible drought in De cember, 1868, of which Australian " squatters " will have a lively but bitter recollection, ao great were my straits, that I had directed two of my oVenmerJ James McNall and Harry Zouch, to brand and prepare some twenty thou ■and sheep " for the road," to travel in March of grass and water, now getting veryeoaroe in my own country. The drafting-yards were at " Con's Hut," an out-station about seventy mile* from Fort Bourke. Half a mile up the War- S rive* from this place was a bush ic house, kept by one William iw, fifteen mifes farther my Belelie bead station. For many miles no other human habitation broke the dreary monotony of what ia termed in Australia "The Bush," but what in reality oon torts of a succession of bare and parched plains, interseoted at long intervals by ■wow belts of timber or occasional ptae ridge*. Suddenly the men were disturbed in their work, m they after wmd told me, by the sound of several iboii fired tliaoit HI ID nlUmeottnl T in the direction of the public boose. To catch their hobMed horses, aaddle than, and gallop off to see " what was op at Billy Bhaarerti" was the work of s very few Now what did happen "atShearer's" I will describe by giving, as near as jsamonr will serve me, the sohetaooe of Ms tvidaooe at the trial. Ha stated ttiat abont noon on this December day he was standing behind bis oonnter in • iall room about ten feet msnaKSrksrsa W> mounted polite, MoMuu. . trooper of the Queensland foroe, end their bleak boy, the native " tracker," rode up, end having alighted, inquired if anything had been heard of two bushrangers, Pearmon and Bntherford, adding that thev were wanted abont a lato " ntioking-np " case in which they had been oonoerned, and bad been tracked to that locality. Hhearer knew Rutherford from his haviug been bat s few months previously one of the station bands, and was able to inform the polioe that this outlaw, at any rate, had not yet pat in en appearance; the polioe most have missed them in the bash and gone ahead of them. The sergeant had iust sat down on a small form on the left front of the bar, placing his rifle within reach against tbo counter—the other constable was stand ing beside him—when two men rode op, hitched their horses to the vcranaa posts in front of the inn, and without warning the foremost—Bntherford— entered the room, and oovering Hhearer with his revolver, nttered the formula so much dreaded at the time in Aus tralia, " Bail np I"—the doorway at the same time being occupied by the other man, Pearson, also revolver in hand. Finding themselves in snob olose prox imity to the polioe was no donbt a most unexpected surprise, bat Sergeant Mo- Cabe s challenge "to surrender " had no other effeot than to oanse Bntherford to wheel half ronnd, alter his aim, and fire, McOabe, as it appeared, rooeiving the ball as he was in the act of leaning forward, and though without time to bring bis rifle to the shoulder, discharg ing it in that attitude at Pearson in the doorway. The scene of oonfusion was indescribable—the small room was dense with smoke—six shots, it is believed, having been exchanged in almost as many seconds at such terribly close quarters. The bushrangers rushed for the horses, which had broken away in the melee, caught them, and decamped; but Pear son was seen to drop bis revolver and to be staggering, and, as was subsequently discovered, was shot through tho wrist and the shoulder. McCabe was down, mortally wounded, and the first care seems to have been for him, a circum stance which explains the almost unmo lested escape of the bushrangers. It was at this juncture that the over seers, McNall and Zouch, came noon the scene, and, without further delay, armed themselves with poor McOabe's rifle and revolver, and, aooompanied by the unhurt trooper and his native boy, went in pursuit Following the tracks, they reached tho head station, Belaile, where they learned that Pearson and his mate had been before them, had helped themselves to two of my best horses, abandoning their own, and, leaving the road, hail struck out due west across the bush. This occasioned some surprise, as Bntherford, who knew the ground, must have been aware that such a route, if persisted in, would necessitate seventy miles without water, and that, too, with a wounded comrade. Occasionally across the wide plains tho fugitives were sighted, riding leisurely along, little suspecting bow closely they were followed; and our men had to check their pace, as their tactics were to keep them in ignorance of pursuit, with the hope of being able to taae them by a night surprise, when, as was nat urally expected, they would "go into camp." NoNall has described to me how, on one oocasion, where the plains were smaller and the clumps of timber more frequent, they were able to get within rifle-shot, and be was sorely tempted to show them a* little consider ation aa they had shown tho poor ser geant, and fire; but Zouch, who, before be came to my employment, had been a sub-inspector of police, and had had much experience in bunting down bush ranger*, was bent on taking tbem alive, and would not risk the chance of a long shot. These cooler counsels prevailed, and they steadily and stealthily followed on. They were doomed to disappoint ment in the end; for, almost incredible aa it may seem, with a wounded man to endnru such neat and fatigue, theee hardy desperadoes made no halt. As night came on our men, on the other hand, were obliged to camp, aa they could no longer follow the hoofmarks of the fugitives horses without risk of los ing them altogether. Ho soon, however, as the moon waa up they were again on their tracks, and followed them till soon after daylight, when, worn ant with thirst and fatigue, they reached Mr. Vinoent Dowling'a Tantabnlla station, on the Cnttabnrra river. Here they were mortified to find that the bnahrang era had again been too qnick for them, had run the station horses into the yard, helped themselves to fresh ones, and were away with some hours' elear start. It was then decided to abandon the pur suit. There were at that time few sta tions further west, and sooner or later starvation would compel the runaways to return to inhabited parts. The troop ers were left to watch and endeavor to Sck np farther information, while Me al] and Zouch had reluctantly to retnrn and look to their station dntiaa. • • • * At the time when bnehranging waa rife in Australia there were part* of the country where, amour a certain class of small farmer* and publicans, sympathy was shown for bushrangers, and what the polioe had to enconnter before thev ultimately succeeded in ex tirpating the evil was the greet difficul ty In getting reliable information of the movements of these marauders, who on the other hand were themselves kept posted in the movements of their pur suers, and the " office " being given, were harbored or assisted to escape by secret allies, who seemed above suspi cion. In the far,interior, where we Inet sight of Pearson and Bntherford, this was fortunately not the case; here they wonld find no " onver " either from the nature of the country or the disposition of the inhabitants. They could not hold out long outside the occupied oounhry, and when forced to retnrn, Bulatkm was en scattered and eympa ers none, that hopes of escape were sUgbt. Added to tliia, the excellent police force of the colony was on tbe elert and bonier patrols active end vigilant Notwithstanding, for upward of a mouth there was DO sign; till one day Psaraoo was sighted on foot in a range of hill* near Fort Bourke. He was easily captured, *nd, when brought before the bench, waa haggard and worn out with fatigue. This unfortunate man was of oom paratively gentle birth, had been a medical atadeat in England, and being aenlout to the colon/ to seek hia for tune, had, aa ia too often the oaae where a young fellow ia ahipped off without friends, intereat or capital, loat canto, got among diaaolute companion*, until, attracted by what weak-minded bo/a would think a daahing life, hod oome by rapid atepa to thin terrible depth of crime. The oaae waa simple—hia only core seemed to be to clear himself of the actual murder of McCabe. Tbe law, however, oould tako no cognizance of thia—whether he fired the shot or aot he was equally guilty of the murder. He waa oemmitted, tried and sentenced to be hanged. (Subsequently hia sen tence waa commuted to imprisonment for life, and when I last heard of him he was still an inmate of Darliughurst jail. An extraordinary statement of bis was that on leaving the publio house, he had to bo helped on to hia horse in an almost fainting oondition, and yet held up through that exhausting escape; that a day later, by hia directions, his mate ex tracted the ball from hia shoulder with his knife; and yet when taken, though weak and ill, no trace of wounds save the scars remained. He had parted from Rutherford, as his enfeebled state was a danger to both, and he had not had the hardihood to attempt to make his way through the oordon formed by tbe vigi lant guardians of the peace. Bat to hia companion he was true as steel, and would give no due to the direction Rutherford bad taken. Tho latter, who was a much more ei pcrienoed bnshman, and in htrooper health, waa siiooesaful in evading his fate for aomn time looser. A* waa after ward ascertained, he had oontrived to elnde the police, and made hia war to the McQuarie river, aome three hundred milea nearer Bidney than the aoene of hia late terrible outrage. He waa a m art young follow, a native Anatralian, though of English parentage, and of good addreea. Arriving in a diatriet where he waa unknown, ho had no diffi culty in getting employment, and waa for aome time engaged breaking-in horaea on a cattle atation, a dnty be waa well able to perform. Had he been oontented to remain at boneat work he might havo long esoap ed detection; bnt it waa not to be. He waa aoon at hia old work, and one day walked into the Pine Ridge hotel, near Canonba, kept by a Frenchman named lieanvaia, and tinoeremonionaly an nonnccd: "I am Rntherford. Bail up." The process waa without excitement, orderly and bnaineea-like, and Beanvaia knew there waa no alternative trot to submit. He pleaded that he was not a rich pnb lican, and begged moderate terms, offer ing any refreshment ho demanded. Rutherford money and nothing else— " that or yonr life." With hia revolver at the head of the unhappy Frenchman, he marched him into the private room was the cash box waa kept, and stood by while hia victim reluctantly and alow ly opened it However, he stood a little too clone, and Heanvais. aa he described it to me, tbonght: " I will not part with my money without a struggle. ' There waa no time for bandying word* or re monstrance. Quick aa thought he threw up hia antagonists revolver arm, and grappled with him in a deadly strag gle. He was a plucky fellow, but the odds were against him. Rutherford waa a yonnger and stronger man, armed, and now desperate. Beanvaia* grasp on the revolver arm prevented Rntherford from getting an opportunity to Are; still the issue could not long be doubtful. At this moment in the unequal com bat Mime good chance caused one of the men to stnmble, and both fell heavily to the ground. There was a lond re port; Rutherford's pistol had gone off in the fall, and Beanvaia, jumping to his feet, fonnd that the wretched ronrderer baa perished by hia own liand, and with out a straggle. I am glad to be able to add that tbia plncky act waa not left unrewarded, the New BonUi Wales government present ing Reauvaia with £IOO for his gallant conduct in having been instrumental in ridding aodiety of thia dangerous and desperate felon.

" It was first described by Bydenhsm in the seventeenth oentury," answered Professor Barker, "as a distinct dis ease. " " Are there great differences in the severity of suoh epidemics ?" " Tory great differences; aome epi demics being mild and aome attended with severe and (longerons oases. But there ore always mild caaes during the moet severe epidemics." " What are the causes of aoarlet fever ?" " Tbe specific cause is infection by a specific poison which is communicated by direct contaot either with tbe exhala tions from the lungs of patients, with their akin, or by meana of oiothing or various snbstanoea with which the patients have oome in oontad. Hoarlet fever is said to have boon communicated by milk, or even by a letter. Taylor, an eminent English writer, reporta the beginning of one epidemic as being in the family of a milkman who delivered milk to twelve families. Of these fami lies six had aoarlet fever as consequence. A certain individual predisposition mast exist, as it is frequently found that one child in a family may take the disease, while other* of the children who have frequently been exposed in tbe same de gree do not get it " Are individuals who have had tbe disease in a mild form more liable to a second attack ?" " I should say not On the contrary, those who have a constitutional predilec tion to the disease are more liable to a second attack. Ordinarily one at tack secures immunity from a second, but there are many exceptions to this. It ia very rare that patients die from a second attack. In fact not more than three or four oases of thia kind have been reported in medical literature." " How long does the poison retain its activity in clothing, furniture, rooms, ele. r* '' This ia very uncertain. There ia conclusive evidence that it haa been re tained in clothing aometimea for months. For example, a lady aaaiated in nnraing the children of a aiater in the oonntry in the month of August. In the follow ing February one of her own children waa attacked with the diaeaae and sub sequently two other*. It waa then fonnd that thia lady had put on a <1 row ing gown ahe haul worn at her winter'* the previoaa Angtiat, and had taken in her lap the first of her own children which waa attacked at the time ahe pnt on thia gown again for the first time. In another case, a ntirwe who had been in attendance on acarlet-fever patienta four montha before aeema to have com municated the diaeaae to a lady whom ahe waa attending who had a young in fant. Another caae waa that of a lady who had moved into a bonne where there bad been wear let fever aome month* before. Three of ber children were attacked with the diaeaae who had not been expoaed to infection from any other nouroe, and no other aaaea were prevailing at the time that oonld be beard of by the lady'a physician. " How noon in the diaeaae developed after infection T " Trouaaean reports a case in which the diaeaae was manifested in twenty-four hours after exposure, and similar cases are reported ; bnt usually the period of development ia from three to ten or twelve days after exposure. This is prob ably due to the difference in the sus ceptibility of the patienta. " At what period of the diaeaae, and how long is it infectious!" " It is infectious throughout ita whole course. It ia believed to be most in tensely so during the period of desqua mation, or when the skin is peeling off; but ao long as there ia any evidence of disturbance of the system from the localisation of the poison in any organ, it is not safe to assume thai the d:> ease ia not communicable." " What ia the comparative suscepti bility to and danger from the disease at different ages?" "The most snaoeptible period of life is from one to fifteen years. Marehisoo. a very high authority, states from the statistics of nearly 150,000 oases that abont sixty four per cent, of deaths from scarlet fever are under five yean, ami nearly ninety per cent under ten yean; ninety-five and a balf per cant under fifteen yean, and only one and three-fourths per cent over twenty-five years. Scarlet fever ia very rare in young infanta. Only one-ninetieth of all the deaths are under one year, and one-fifteenth between one and two yean." " How can scarlet fever be prevented and alleviated ?" "To prevent scarlet fever, complete isolation of the patient* ia absolutely essential, as well ss the prevention of all contact with those in attendance on the diseased persons. It is essential also that the bouse should be thoroughly ventilated, ao that the poison which may eaoapo may be ae diluted ae possi ble. All clothing should be thoroughly disinfected, and even the soiled linen of the tick should not be mingled with that of the other members of the honae bold. The relief ef the patienta pertains to the medical treatment. After the disease ia recovered from, the sick-room should be thoroughly disinfected, aa well ae the bedding, the furniture, the earpeta, and even the walla. It ia found that dry heat to the point of 21$ degrees, kept up for aome hours, effectually de stroys the poison; and thia, perhana. ia aa good a method as any of disinfecting the bedding of those who cannot afford to have It destroyed." Whan the reporter referred to the published statement that the household of the Princess Alice, grand duchess of Darmstadt* were made more susceptible to the contagion of diphtheria by the habit of biasing among ita buaatsa, and, asked Professor Barker whether inhal-j tng the breath of a scarlet fever patient 1 by kissing or otherwise was dangerous and should be avoided, the doctor re plied, "Moat asauredly the disease i. Jfe,. might be communicated by a mother kiaeing her child who hoe either aoarlet fever or diphtheria." "If diphtheria oomplioatee a coee of aoarlet fewer, doee thia neoeaaarily moke the oaae fatal V "It ia a severe complication, but by no meana neoeaaarily fetal, as I've often known caaee to reoover in which both diaeaaea existed. Lat winter a young girl of fourteen bad diphtheria. After the diphtheria waa pslpeblyjiubsidiag the child continued to have a very high temperature, leading to the suspicion that aome other poiaou waa disturbing t e system. Huddenly a very intense form of scarlet fever waa manifested. The child was extremely ill for aeveral days, and then, daring desquamation, the diphtheria again appeared. Bat this young girl perfectly reoovered. Diphtheria, therefore, while causing grave apprehension, should not be re garded as neoeaaarily terminating fatal ly. A child siok with aoarlet fever in a house which ia axpoaerl to sewage gas, or in whiah there is defective plumbing, would be likely to have the disease complicated with diphtheria." "Does the term scarlatina mean a mild form of aoarlet fever t" " No; the two tonne are precisely identical." "Is scarlet fever always a fatal dis ease in women just after confinement?' "It is ndt; but after nonfiement sometimes women are very susceptible to the poison. I have always heard physicians loosely say that under these circumstances the women always die, bnt this I know to be far from the truth. A woman with an infant just born was some years ago brought into one of my words in Be 11 erne hospital. The next day aoarlet fever appeared in her case. I immediately had all the patients in the ward removed and took every precaution to prevent the spread of the disease. This patient, whose system was com pletely broken down by want and ex posure, died within twelve bonrs after the appearance of the eruption. Three other women who were in the word when she was brought in, and who bad rooently l>een a ufined, were attacked with the disease on the third and fourth days after exposure. Two of these re oovered. It is s singular fact that neith er the baby of tbe first w>mnn nor any of the sixty or more in the hospital had the disease. In private practice I have seen few coses of scarlet fever in women who had recently been oonfined, but a majority of these have recovered. Mystery of a Mordered lan. There ia a mywtery abont the life of the mnrdered German, Hcbnlte, of Nor walk, Conn., which, if nnearthed, would probably make a vory iaterenting ntory. In one of the meet quiet and neclnded neighborhood! to be found along the Hound, abont balf way Irotwecn the city of Booth Norwalk and the village of Darien, a atranger appeared nearly two yearn ago and bought a little farm on a cronn road. He hardly examined the property, bnt aaked the price, promptly counted ont $5,000, and took poaaenaion almost at onoe. No one knew anything of bin antecedent*, and he avoided mak ing acqnaintanoea. His next-door neigb bor waid, after the mnrder, that he did not know him by sight. He made fre qnent viaitn to New York, and waa at tended to and from the railroad ntation by a hired man who waa required to walk alwaya ao many paces in front He lived in the plainest manner, and while it waa known that be had money to sup ply hia wants, there waa no suspicion that be waa rich. Huddenly, while on hia way home from the atation, be waa brutally murdered, and then it waa dis covered that, aaide from what money hia murderer* secured, he had $20,000 in caab inaide hia veat lunula the honae a large num. aaid to be $200,000, wan found, and a little cheat deposited bv him in a Norwalk aavinga bank a day or two before hia death waa found to be fnll of French gold coin. Paper* in bin poaaesaion abowed that he owned a very large amount of property in Germany, near Cologne; tbey also indicate that he waa a man of good education, and appar ently of conaiderable prominence. Those who made hia aoquainUnoe way he spoke four languages fluently. It baa also transpired that he wan intend ing removing to Virginia, where be had instructed a New York agent to bny a farm, as be found the New England cli-, mate too severe. A passport among hia papers indicated that be had traveled through Germany. Probably time will unravel the mystery, bnt at present no body known hia history, why be waa in apparent hiding at thia spot, or what motive could have led to the crime, There are no clnea to the murderers, except such aa throw aoapicion cm the 1 man-servant. Hia course at the time ia thought by aome to ahow hia innocence, by other* to indicate a well-acted pari j to hide liia guilt and throw suspicion on other*. All told, the story ia more mysterious, although less tragical, than the horrible killing of poor Mary 8 tan nard in Madlaon. Harifard CbvranL The (tewing Women of New fork. From a small paper, called the Cheri tj/ RecorxL, issued by St. John's guild, one of New York'a leading charitable inatitutiona, we take the following: Few people, except tho actual sufferers, are aware of the many hardships endured by the sewing women of New Tork. The prices paid for work by the manufac turer* are, at the beat, very low. The conditions exacted by them arefreqnent of snob a nature that poor women, ongh honest and industrious, are un able to oomply sith them Thia haa led to a class of middlemen, who being able to comply with the conditions of the manufacturers, obtain the work for them, and then sublet it to poor women at greatly reduced rates. As an instance, the usual rate paid by the manufacturer for a common grade of ah iris ia fifty- five cents par doaen, Many women who ap- Cied to the guild for work laat -winter id beau making the aame shirta at twenty -eight cents per doaan. This waa indeed a great hardship, if not a positive Injustice. The guild d entree to prolan! the sewing women from thia great tax upon their poorly-paid labor, and haa established a sewing department, in which Hia full prion thai is raeatead from the manufacturers ia paid. The manage ment of thia department has been placed in toe hands of a committee of ladies who volunteer their am i loan. *f*v '* ♦ * < i .ammarnm . OffTBICH PARMMf*. N A Ptnltu Wr
