UNISHING A DESPERADO. Scene on the Mexican Frontier. After the triumph of the American arms on the field of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, the victorious force hurried across the Rio Grande, and occupied the Mexican town of Matamoras. But, unfortunately, these were not the only invaders, for, marching with the valiant soldiery, or following rapidly in their rear, came another host, of small merchants, of desperadves, of gamblers, and every variety of reckless adventurers, including swarms of aa- saasins and thieves. Among the numerous blers, were three brothers by the name of Allen. Their art and dexterity, backed in each emergency by the bowie-knife and revolver, soon rendered them notorious, and promised. in a brief period to bresk every bank in the vicinity. At that time there was a brilliant saloon kept open for public amusement and private profit, by one Fernando Rosa, a wealthy bo avaricious Spaniard. The dealer at the monte-table was tris daughter, Maria, a young girl possessed of that beauty which so often distinguishes the females of her nation. and, notwithstanding her unfavorable and doubtful situation as a princi- pal in the genteel gambling ho she bore a tair fame for virtue as well as intelligence. Sho detested the position, and filled it oniy from the compulsion of paren authority, and presided over the cards in all the evolutions of fickle for- tune with the utmost honesty of conduct. As might be logically inferred. such various and evident attractions combined to render the es- tablishment a place of general resort for the eftte of the army, and all the most accomplished conuoiseurs of chance ; and to insure the ex- clusion of the plebeian class, the rule had been fixed that the lowest bet on the board must amount toa hundred dollars. It was in the month of May, when the three brothers Allen, having swept the counters of all the inferior banks of Matamoras, with their pockets full of gold and heavy sums of paper, entered the saloon of Fernando Kosa, deter- mined to close it by fair or fuul means. The partment was crowded with lieutenants, and =— who had lost large sums of money that night With that rude elbowing impetuosity. which, more than anything else. marks the soul of the thorough-bred ruffian, the brothers made their way to the monte-table. Nearly every body fell back from the board to a safe distance, and left the contest alone to the three fraternal gam- blers. Even the dealer turned pale at their ap- ero and her fingers quivered as she shuf- jed the painted cards. There was astanger who maintained his stand, without as much as glancing at the intruders, and continued to play. He was a tall, rather slender-shaped man, some fifty years of age. His dress was black, and displayed a strong contrast with the gay collars, rich ruffles, an barbaric ornaments of the Allens. The latter, at the outsst. staked a thousand dollars each on the queen of hearts, and loet, while the stranger, having deposited alike sum on the ace of spades, proved to be the winner. “ That trick was foul swindling!” exclaimed the eldest. At the same time the two other brothers used insulting language. The gaze of the spectators was turned to the stranger, whose eyes flashed angrily as he de- manded in a tranquil but distinct voice, though little louder than a whisper: “Gentiemen, do you intend to accuse the lady of unfair dealing. or me of profiting by her partiality?’’ “Who are you, that bandy words with us, the boys of Arkansas’”’ said one of the Allens. ~ My name is Thomas Jefferson Duga swered the other. ‘I am from the State of Virginia, the proverbial chivalry of whose sons is never falsified by any act of mine.”’ “Do you mean this to be a threat?” cried one of the brothers. ~ You may receive ft as suoh, if you feel go | disposed.” replied Dugan, without betraying any emotion. *- I intend to convey the idea that | when I am insulted, or my rights are outraged. I am ready to demand, or exact that satistac- tion claimed by gentlemen throughout the world.”* ~ You will fight’”’ cried the elder brother, in astonishment.” ~ All three, if necessary!’ was the cool re- sponse “ Wait till we break this cheat ofa bank, and you shall be accommodated to your heart's content’ said the eldest Allen. with a frown. Again the young girl, with quivering fingers, | threw down the four leading cards; again the | the brothers risked their money. and this time | on the king of clubs; but the luck still ran against them, and they lost, while the stranger won bis bet of fifteen hundred on the queen of diamonds ~- The she rogue has played us false, and we take the table’ vociferated the Allens, #*pringing to their feet, and drawing their bowie- knives to execute their menace by force of arms. B at quicker than their motion was the action | of Dugan; for, stepping backward, he covered the beads of the two boldest desperadoes with a pistol in each hand, and shouted: “ Villains * stir a muscle if you dare '”’ At this moment the bystanders interposed, and au arrangement was effected for an inter- viewof bonur between Dugan and the eldest brother. The partios, attended by a swarm of excited apectators, met in the morning on the | bask of the Rio Grande, opposite the site where the city of Brownsville now stands, and were placed in position by their respective seconds. Allen, firing be the word was given, missed. Dugan then exclaimed: “ Assassin and swindler! I will not kill you, for you are not fit to die; but I will cripple your elbow for life.”’ and his bullet shattered the other’s arm at the precise point indicated. The remaining Allens shrunk from a similar earnestly proffered ordeal. Siuce then the victor has been a resident of the Rio Grande, and has engaged in s dozen other encounters, but always with the same wonlerful heroism and forbearance 2+ Sreaxce Evrects ov Verpi’s Mcsic.—At tle last performance of the Frencts version ratore in Paris, there was, says one of Papers, an aceideut at once lame ordinary.

Eben VOL. IX. + 1g WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, MAY 25, 1857. THE BRONTE FAMILY. The London Literary Journal, in a notice of Mrs. Gaskell’s new volume, gives the following sketch of the Bronte family, its history, its sur- roundings, and all the personages of which it was composed : The fathor, the Rev. Patrick Bronte, was, and is, the incumbent of Haworth, a parish which, as we have said, lies in the wildest ah of the Yorkshire hills. The picture which Mrs. Gaskell draws of the population of the West Riding is not a veryadmirableone. Dis- tinguished rather for the foytiter than the sua- viter ave and have been Mr. Cobden’s late constituents. She gives them credit indeed for *‘ strong sagacity’’ and “strong and deep affection;’” but then “ their accost is curt, there is little display of any of the amenities of life among this wild, rough population.”” The are * sleuth hounds in pursuit of money.’”’ It is amaxim among them—* Keep a stone in thy pocket seven year; turn it, keep it seven year longer, that it may be ever ready to thy band when thine enemy draws near.”’ So isolated are they, that all persons not be- longing to that Las of the country are termed * foreigners.’’ rs. Gaskell lays ve deep coloring upon the picture by more anecdotes of their lawless proceedings, of their treatment of their ministers of religion of their up and down fights, their“ pawsing,” *‘ gouging” and biting. than we care to quote. Suffice it to observe that the character of the West Riding man has been powerfully drawn from the life, by Emily Bronte herself, in ‘‘ Wuthering Heights,”’ and by Anne, in * The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”’ For the present we are interested in this analysis spite giyteenbted only because it was among such scenes, and such personges, that the three Brontes who were destined to become celebra- ted derived that force of character which some have called unfeminine. But, ere we proceed, let us devote a few words to describing the personnel of this cer- tainly not ordinary family. And first the aged father. He is the only one of them all who is now alive: he, the oak, alone survives, whilst his tender saplings and his clinging beauty- iving vine that wound so fondly round his bark ave all been laid low by the storm. So we would speak gently of this widowed old man and respect hisgreatdeselation. Mrs. Gaskell, however, gives no very amiable picture of him ashe was in his younger days. An Irishman from the county Down, very tall, and gifted with great physical strength; a stern man, how- ever, and morose at that; when angry he would not scold, or vent his displeasure in a common way, but would fire pistols out of the back door and smash the furniture to pieces. He would eat alone and walk alone. Such a Puritan was he that, when he happened to get hold of a smart silk dress which some one had presented to his wife, he cut it into shreds with his own hands; and again, when he saw some pretty boots ying before the fire, in anticipation ot his children’s return from a wet walk, he threw the comfortable vanities behind the fire. To the last, indeed, (according to Mra. Gas- kell,) he seems to have preserved unlovely corners in his heart; for, when Charlotte was left alone to him, and a good loving man came to claim her for his wife, this stern old man, though he knew that her life had been one lon sacrifice to duty, and how much she deserv: one gleam of sunshine to warm and revive her heart, turned a deaf ear to the request, pretened to have a bad opinion of matrimony, and would only be prevailed upon toconsent when it was understood that the young couple were to con- tinue to takecare of him. Surely something of old Tarveydrop in this. And even when the wedding-morning arrived, and all washopeand |B joyousness, Mr. Bronte suddenly threw every- thing into disorder and gloom by “ announcing his intention of not going to the church.”’ Of Maria Bronte, the mother, we have less in- formation; she died in 1321, after giving birth to the youngest child, Anne. She was the daughter of a Mr. Branwell, a merchant of Penzance, and seems to have been a frail-bodied little personage, elegant, clear-spirited, very meek and submissive to the Rev. pious, and a. good manager. Tho latter she needed to be, for with their large family and limited means, it must have been hard work to provide. The eldest child of this extraordinary couple was a daughter, Maria, who died in her twelfth year; then another daughter, Elizabeth, who died in her eleventh; then two more daughters, Charlotte and Emily Jane; then a son, Patrick Branwell; and finally, Anne. The three youn- ger daughters, Charlotte, Emily, Janeand Anne are those whom the world kuows of—are Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Such were the Brontes. A Swaxe Tace. ys the lawyer: “Animals sometimes very nearly approach reason in their cunning.” “T got interested in the study of serpants down in Arkansas, where I Spent the most of last year. I don’t know why, but I was con- Stantly watehing them and testing their sagaci- ty, by placing them innew situations, and sur- rounding them with novel expedients. Of all kinds [ experimented most with rattlesnakes and copperheads. “One afternoon I seated myself on a little knoll in the woods to smoke and read—for I always had book or newspaper with me—and had been enjoying myself for some time, when L espied a copperhead making for a hole within ten feet of where I sat. Of course I threw down my book and cigar, and proceeded to try a new experiment. As soon as I stired the rascal made a rush for the hole; but I caught his tail as he got nearly in and jerked him some twenty feet backward. He threw himself into a coil in no time, and waited for me to pitch in. But I concluded not to let him try his hole again. After a while he started for it, stopping when I stirred to coil himself up; but as I fet pretty quiet he recovered confidence and again went in. Again I jerked him out. No sooner did he hit the ground than he made a grand rush for the hole in a straightline for my legs! But that didn’t work, for I got out of the way, and gave him another flirt! This time he lay atill awhile, a) aring to reflect on the course to be taken. ter a time he tried it again, though rather slowly After getting his head a little way in, he stopped and wiggled his tail, as if on purpose for me to grab it. Idid so; and quicker than a flash he drew his head out and came within about a quarter of an inch of striking me in the face. However, I jerked him quite a distance, and resvlyed to look out next time. Well, he tried the same game again, but it wouldn’t work—I was too quick for him. This time he lay in a coil half an hour, with- out stirring. At last, however, he tried it once He advanced to within five feet of the hole very slowly, cviled again, and then, by heavens! got the start of me by one of the cu- test tricks you ever heard of. “ How was it?’’ we all exclaimed, in one breath. * Why, said the narrator, sinking his voice to the acme of solemnity, and looking as honest and as sober as a man could look, “ why he just turned his head toward my hand, and went down that hole tail first !”’ +008 INTERESTIYG To Gas ConstmeRs —A case of con able interest to gas consumers was re- cently tried in Paterson, N.J.,byajury. Aman named Brady applied for yas to the company.and receiving @ promise to be supplied, went to con- siderable expense in fitting up ipes, apparatus, &c. He was then informed that fe coaid aot have the gas tillthe unpaid bill of a previous tenant wax paid. which he refused to do, and proceeded to light his premises with other means, and was put lo great inconvenience andexpense.

The piny have entered an appeal, and | s:nted to supply the gas, notwithstanding the fact that the bill in question still remains unpaid. pet SR owannas ues Siete a Tre Pracve or Women .—The Shah of Persia, when he was told that a workman had fallea from a lidder, called * Who is she who ts she 7”? “+ Please your Majesty, "tis a he’? “ Nonsense !’’ sald the Shah, “ there’s neveran accident without a woman; who is she ?”?
