ALIVE OR DEAD I Thr JLa?t Stubborn and Dentil of the Terror ?f ?fce iuiiuui Territory. A corresponds ut writing from Eufania, Indian Territory, says: "Killed while resibt?ug arrest," is the return to be made by Sun-thlar-pee, of Uteehee town, Captain of the Creek light horse, in the chase of Bill Posey, one of the most notorious and reckless of the gang of Texas, Indian Territory and Kansas desperadoes, horse and cattle thieves, that have infested this country for years. Teas of thousands of dollars' worth of stock have been stolen from Texas, driven north through the Territory, alwnysuuder charge of some outlaw along the route, and driven by hidden and unused trails through a country so sparsely settled that often days elapsed without a human being in sight to identify either the stock or the thieves. Picking up cattle feeding , on the range belonging to Indians, their droves were always increasing, until the loss to the citizens of the Creek nation became unbearable. Among this band Bill Posey, an es-; ^ i n il m * t capeu convict irom tne lexas penitentiary, was a skilled, daring and influential leader. A Spanish Mexican, with a claim to Indian blood in his veins, Posey made his headquarters on Cane creek. Polecat j and Arkansas rivers, drifting back andj forth as occasion required, always armed to the teeth. With a long Spanish knife and three six-shooting revolvers in his belt, and a double-barreled Henry rifle , loaded with buckshot, he was the terror ' of the road. For several years he had been a member of the gang in Texas. No less than twenty-nine criminal indict-1 meats had been found against him in various counties in Texas. . He had j wealthy and influential relatives in Limestone and other counties, who had man- j aged to screen him until about four years ago, when he was arrested, tried and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. He had served out twenty months of his sentence, but so turbulent had he I been that he had inspired a feeling of terror even among the prison officials. Bucking, gagging, flogging or showerin^ failed tr> snhdne him and he was rmt in the chain gang and set to work on the i streets under charge of guards. While working one day with a twelve-pound ball attached to his leg he struck down ! one of the guards with a stone, snatched his gun, and "stood off" four of the guard. He called on the prison authorities, with oaths, to come out and rearrest him, and he would kill them all. Holding all the officials at bay, he slowly retreated toward some horses feeding near. Getting the horse between himself and the guard, he coolly picked up the ball, slung it over the horse, mounted, and rode over to his father's house, where he ? secured his own gun, revolver and a good j horse, and crossed the line into the In- j dian Territory. While at his temporary home on Cane | creek, two deputy United States marshals attempted his arrest. He assented, ! and asked them into the house to dinner . before starting for Fort Smith. With | their revolvers pointing at his head, he coolly walked into the house with them, ; placed chairs, and ordered dinner quick j for three, and went about making. preparations for the start. Suddenly he i reached under his low couch, brought out his six-shooter,sent one ball through the thigh of one deputy and another -v through the eye of the other, and drove them from the house. He ordered them to throw up their hands and down their arms, and then coolly asked for the writ. This he destroyed. Then he compelled the officers to go in and partake of the 1 J * XI J 1.1 1.1. mem prepareu xur mem, auu iei wjclu j go back to report their failure. Between Muscokee and Okmnlkee he ' built a block-house, surrounded himself with a set of desperadoes, and bade de- j fiance to all the marshals of Texas or the Territory. Here for fifteen months 1 he had been on the scout. During the day ! he never for a moment laid down his arms. He slept always with his belt of arms on the bed before him and the sixteen-shooting Henry rifle in his hands. A fresh horse was always sad-1 died near the door, and no man was ever permitted to approach him unless he was covered with the inevitable rifle. His i reckless brtfvado led him to mingle with | crowds of men, visiting stores, whenever supplies were needed, or taking a seat in church among the worshipers, 1 armed,and teking care to keep the saints always to the front. Recently the governor of Texas made a requisition on the chief of the I Creek nation for Bill Posey's arrest and ' return to the Texas officials. Chief; Ward Coachman placed the necessary papers at once in the hands of Captain j Sun-thlar-pee of (Jtechee town, with orders to bring in " Bill Posey, alive or dead." The captain learned that Posey had visited Okmulkee and had a wounded finger amputated, and had gone toward the Arkansas river. All that i night with a posse of two picked men the captain followed on his trail, and on the next evening they came up with him near Concharte town, on Polecat creek, driving some stray horses. He was well mounted as usual, and disdained to run from three Indians. The captain ordered hiifi" to surrender and throw up his hands. Posey reached for his ever-present rifle, but his lost finger was in the way, and before he could bring it to bear a load of buckshot went through his right arm, breaking it above the elbow. As it dropped limp at his side he dropped the rifle, drew his revolver with the left, and emptied two of the chambers, and then another mass of buckshot broke his left arm. Spurring ins weil-traiuea horse, he charged full speed at the captain, knocking him and his horse over the bluff to the creek below. Posey then wheeled upon the posse, who stood their ground, firing at him with their revolvers. The ortlers to take "him dead or alive must be obeyed. The fight was now at close quarters. Riddled with bullets and shot, the flesh torn from his hips, both arms broken, he continued the fight, trying to ride down the officers. Captain Sun-thlar-pee had again joined his posse, this time on foot. A wellaimed shot from his revolver tore off Posey's nose. It seemed impossible to kill him. Still he refused to surrender. Then the last bullet from the captain's revolver struck him in the chin, breaking his jaw, and went crashing up through his brains. He fell dead from his horse. So admirably hath God disposed of the ways of man that even the sight of vice in others is like a warning arrow shot for us to take heed. We should correct our own faults by seeing how uncomely they appear in others. Who will not abhor a choleric passion, and a saucy pride in himself, that sees how ridiculous and contemptible they render those who are infested with them. Man is nothing but insincerity, falsehood and hypocrisy, both in regard to himself and ;n regard to others. He does not wish that lie shall he fold the truth, lie chooses saying it to others; and all these moods, so inconsistent with justice aud reason, have their roots in .his heart. A PLUCKY WOMAN'S FEAT. After Two Jleu Jumped She Stops n Hunnway Team. On the stage route between Ellenv lie and Summitville, N. Y.t is a long, steep hi; < known as Build's Hill. As the stage continuing Mrs. Jane Hollingsworth and two small children, William Brum and James Low, the driver, had just begun the descent of the hill one day recently, the pole slipped through the neck-yoke and the stage ran heavily agaiust the horses' heels. They at once started at a furious rate down the hill. The driver dropped the reins and jumped from the stage to the roadside. Brum, who occupied the seat with Low, sprang out at the same time. Mis. Hollingsworth and her two children occupied the rear seat in the stage, and there Was no possible way for her to escape from it, if she had thought it wise to do so. Seeing herself and children left to their fate by the man ?lia rfotarminptl to make a desnerate effort to save their lives, if possible; although, with the team plunging madly ; down the steep declivity, without icstraint or guidance of a driver, and the coach swaying from side to side threatening momentarily to be capsized down the high bank on the lawn side, the chances for escape from death seemed slim indeed. Mrs. Holling8worth clambered over the three high-backed seats between her and the driver's box, first quietiug her children, who were screaming in terror, with the assurance that she would save them. Reaching the driver's seat she was compelled to climb over the dash-board to the tongue of the coach, between the two frantic horses, to gain possession of the reins, which had apparently been flung over the horses' backs by the terror-stricken driver. Mr. H. Tallmai!, of Middletown, who was driving up the hill, saw the stage team dashing over toward him, just as Mrs. Hollingsworth had secured the lines and was climbing back to the driver's seat. Tallman says she was as pale as death, but clutched the lines firmly as the stage dashed by his wagon. He says he ex- J pected to see the coach hurled over the bank at the turn in the road below, but the courageous woman by most miracu- j lous strength succeeded in pulling the horses close along the base of the hill on ' the upper side and rounaeti me curve 111 safety. Taliman and others who had witnessed the thrilling scene, hurried j after the flying stage. They came in sight of it, and saw the horses pulled I skillfully against the hill by Mrs. Hoi- ! lingsworth, until the fury of their career ! was broken, and then were adroitly \ turned off at a level place in the road | and brought up against a fence, where, j after several ineffectual plunges to free themselves from the obstacle, they came to a standstill When the men came up the brave woman was still holding the lines, but was unconscious. Where the j lines had been wrapped about her hands they had almost buried themselves beneath the flesh, and blood streamed from the ugly gashes they made. The chil- { dren were still crouching in terror in one corner of the coach, locked in each others arms. There was not a scratch on the horses, not a break in the harness, nor the slightest injury done to the coach. Mrs. Hollingsworth was at once taken to the nearest house and given the best of care. She soon recovered, and in J an hour or so had the strength and ; uerve to proceed on her journey in the i same coach and behind the same horses j with which she had had so terrible an experience. She says she never expected ! to see her children again when she left j them to attempt tne control oi ine ream. ( Her bravery and prowess made lier a heroine, and the crowd that had been drawn to the scene gave her three hearty cheers when the stage finally drove on with her and her children. Mrs. Hollingsworth is about thirty years old, and of a slight frame. The Feeling When Under Fire. An English writer says: As a contribution toward explaining how one feels in going under fire for the first time, I may here record a personal experience at Ears, which, though I be- ( lieve common enough under similar cir- ! cumstauces, is perhaps not familiar to j non-combatant readers. This was my j first exposure to either musketry or i cannon shot, and "I am free to confess" j that, although in excellent health and [ well mounted and armed, as the moment j of actual conflict approached I felt a I growing sense of fear as much beyond j the power of my will as the involuntary muscles, and which, as it culminated just before the first shot was fired, became positively physical in its intensity.. A '^complex counter-feeling of half shame, half pride, kept me, however, from attempting escape, even if this had been practicable, through tho serried battalions behind. But hardly a half dozen shots had been exchanged before this emotion of terror abated as involuntarily as it had arisen, and in less than a quarter of an hour it was replaced by an exhilaration and sense of positive enjoyment which more than once during the day carried me through the thick of the melee with! absolutely unruffled I uerve. Afterward, before Sebastopol, a | friend who still carries glorious scars of Alina and Inkermann, told me that at Sobraon, where he had received his own baptism of fire, he had passed through much the same process of sensation, and that he knew it to be, as I have said, common enough in the experience of others. Mere animal courage, therefore, after all, would seem to have less to do with the moral of those who feel it than is generally supposed. Remembered Kindness. The Baleigh (N. C.) News tells the , following gratifying story : In one "of ; the hotly ^contested tights in Virginia, j during the war, a Federal officer fell I 1-j * i. ?r 4.1,^ WOUIlllCU. Ill iruilb U1 lliu vurnt uv?uw breastworks. While lying there wounded and crying piteously for water, a Confelerate soldier (James Moore, of Burke county, N. C.) declared his inteu; iion of supplying him with drink. The ; bullets were flying thick from both sides, and Moore's friends endeavored to dissuade him from such a hazardous enterErise. Despite remonstrance and danger, owever, Moore leaped the breastwoik, canteen in hand, reached his wounded ' enemy, and gave him drink. The TT^/Wnl rm^Ar a sense of gratitude for the timely service, took out his gold watch and offered it to his benefactor, but it was refused. The officer then asked the name the man who had braved such danger to succor him; the name was given, and Moore returned unhurt to his position behind the em bankmeut. They saw nothing more of each other. Moore was subsequently wounded and lost a limb in one of the | engagements in Virginia, and returned ; to his home in Burke county. A few days ago he received a communication from the Federal soldier to whom he had ' given the "cup of cold water" on the j occasion alluded to, announcing that he 1 had settled on him the sum of $1U,000, j to be paid in four equal annual installj meuts of ?2,500 each. Investigation has , established the fact that there i? no | mistake or deception in the matter* FROM CARD TABLE TO PULPIT. The Kefornird <?niublrr and the Drbiicrnte I-iIV lie Ltd?IIowIIc Was (diverted. The interest in the Sea ClitF (Long Island) revival meetings was gri atlv increased by the arrival on the grounds of Mr. C. P. Partington, wh >, although still a young man, was for years one of the most notorious gamblers in the West. One year ago this month he was converted by Mrs. Van Cott, in Davenport, Iowa, and since that time he has been a most earnest worker in the cause of Christianity. The ftory of his life, could it be published in full, would be a thrilling romance. He is about thirty years of age, and was born in Bradford, j Pa. When eight years old he was sent to boarding school at Owego. Here , he was inducted by his schoolmates into the mysteries of small games of chance. One of his first experiences in these was j to lose his jack-knife. Determined toi make good his loss, he persevered in his j petty gambling until he was the posses- j sor of twelve jack-knives. At the age of fourteen he was sent to Waverley, N. J.,; to school, and here he conducted his: gambling operations on a larger scale. He soon made the acquaintance of profooci/vnol nrnmKlprs Jllld XVftS bv One of I them taken to Pittsburgh, and there was introduced to the fraternity, and initiated into all of their secrets. Joining himself to one of the most skillful of these, i he traveled "West with him, and, being 1 young and apparently innocent, acted most successfully as stool-pigeon for his companion. They sought the far West, and became noted* in Omaha, Julesburg, i Cheyenne, and the various termini of j the Union Pacific railroad, -then in pro- j cess of construction. In these placesi Mr. Buffington traveled under Hie aliases of Butler, Morton. Schuyler and Elwell, by some of which names he is still well I remembered by many of his victims. During his wild life.he met with the i most desperate adventures, and was at one time shot in the head in a Julesburg dance house, and abandoned for dead. t His partner was killed in a drunken brawl, and he, having amassed a considerable amount of money, decided to go East. ; He returned to his mother's home in ' Susquehanna, Pa., and began the study i of law. Being terribly dissipated, and ! eruramner in every kind of wickedness, i he soon found himself compelled to quit j town, which he did at night, going to Cleveland. Here he spent a night in a saloon in which he was drugged and robbed. Finding himself in a lumber yard, next morning, he swore never to to touch another drop of liquor, an oath which he has kept. To recover his lost fortunes, he again put into practice his old gambling tricks. To carry these out the more successfully he became a traveling agent for a sewing machine j company. He operated extensively in Iowa, and was well known in '71 in Des Moines as Harry Dunlap, the son of a Baltimore banker. Sunday, the third of June, last year, he spent with a companion in a German beer garden across the river, and on their return in the evening they intended to visit the German theater, out instead of so doing strolled, out of curiosity, into the Methodist church, where Mrs. Van Cott was conducting a revival meeting. While listening to her Mr. Buffington, or Knapp, as he was then known, suddenly realized the horrible wickedness of the life he was leading, and, moved by an impulse, stepped to the front, confessed his crimes, and declared that from that time forth he would devote his life to God. He has for the past year been successfully conducting revival meetings in the West. He thinks that he will ultimately join the ministry. He is a thorough gentleman, well educated, and of pre- j possessing appearance. Fashion Notes. There is a revival of pipings. ic tlio narracf mnih JL Lit/ \JIUiOCIlUC ID II11V ..

AMERICAN APPLES. llow nml CIii ulint <|nnntlllcs tlioy ko t Abroad. The fanners and fruit-raisers of the United States ought this season to take better care than usual of their apple , ! orchards, as there is a reasonable proba, bilitv that hereafter the European de- j | maud for this fruit will generally obviate i the danger of a surplus in this country, j It appears from a circular recently j issued by a large Liverpool house that i in England the preference for American apples is fully established, and that ever\- season, whether the English crop j is large or small, moderate supplies of ! well-selected Baldwins, Greeciugs, Bussets and other descriptions of soft j apples, will find there a good market, and during a season of scarcity like that I of last year the market can easily take | 12,000 to 15,000 barrels. For a quarter of a century or more past, American apples have found their j way to different parts of Europe, but in | small quantities, and in many cases merely as presents from friends in this ; country. These apples were mostly \ Newtown Pippins, which possess the quality of long keeping with a retention I of their high flavor to the last, and which have been always considerably ! sought after in England as a dessert apple. About 1866-67, some shipments of Baldwins, Spitzenbergs and Greenings were made, and arrived in good order, and each winter thereafter, up to 1873. shinments of these varieties were made, though to a limited extent and with varying success, financially speaking. In the fall of 1873 it was found that the apple crop of Great Britain was almost a. total failure, and, as it happened, the American crop was unusually large, and prices low. The dealers who ventured on shipments were well paid, and the quantity shipped that season was greater than the combined shipments of the ten years previous. From that; time up to last fall shipments were light, as the English crop yielded fairly. Last season, however, it again failed, and as j at the same time the crop in the United States was enormous, an opportunity was afforded to estimate the extreme quantity 1 of apples which the English market could i take from America under the most fa- ' vorable circumstances. The shipments commenced about the I end of October, with a weekly average 1 of 8,000 barrels, which increased to over j 17,000 barrels in the latter part of November. The demand throughout was i such that increased arrivals at Liverpool caused no decline, but on the contrary, j with improved condition and quality, ; prices showed a decided advance, being i 83.25 to 83.371 per barrel for Baldwins in October, and 83.50 to $3.75 at periods in November. In December arrivals increased enormously, heincr 27.525 barrels I in one week, and 28,273 the next, or | 53,797 barrels in fourteen days, and for the whole month the sales in Liverpool alone were over 90,000 barrels. The low'est price during this period was $2.37$ ! for Baldwins, but this was for small lots } of inferior quality; and as the bulk of j sales on the same days were $2.62$ to $3 per barrel, the latter figures more fairly represent quotations. In January receipts varied from 3,000 to 6,000 barrels weekly, and in consequence of the irregular condition of the fruit, prices fluctuated from $2.75 to $4.25 per barrel. Greenings for some time had arrived in miserable order, and it became evident that good apples of this variety had been exhausted, so that ali shipments afterward consisted of Baldwins and Russets. The last arrivals were entirely of the latter, and were in fairly good order, proving these varieties to be the best for holding and shipment. In February and March receipts were larger than were expected, being occasionally over 11,000 barrels, and never less than 6,500 weekly, and the demand was so well maintained that sound Baldwins and Russets always realized $3.50, and at times, when quality and condition were satisfactory, $4.25 to $4.50 per barrel was readily paid. In April the shipments were from 3,000 to 5,000 barrels weeaiy, dui wun mienor couuuiuu at one time declined to $3.25 to $3.50. Toward the close of the season the condition improved, and the quantity being at the smallest point, sales were made at $o to $6.50 per barrel, j The bulk of shipments were made to Liverpool, though London and Glasgow j received considerable fruit direct. From these cities it went into almost every town , in GreatBritian, and "American apples" ' became literally as familiar as "liousei hold words." The total receipts during j the season were as follows: BABKELS. Liverpool 276,52'.) i London 25,065 Glasgow 83,703 Total 385,297 The fruit was all sold at auction on the wharves upon arrival, such being the invariable British, custom, buyers having a strong prejudice against any fruit stored, j The prices, therefore, are governed by the receipts to an extent which would surprise Americans who were unfamiliar | with this method of doing business, and accustomed to consider future supply in figuring the price of an article. Exactly how large will be the English demand : for American apples the coming season i can not. of course yet be determined, but ! thus fur the weather has been very uni favorable for the English crop. ? Boston ; Commercial Bulletin. I tjueer Discipline. It is with reason that the Turkish | officers are often reproached with not being at the head of their ranks, etc., j says a war correspondent, for one often ; meets officers who can neither read nor j write. This would be a very serious inJ convenience in any other army; in Turj key these defects are less thought of, for I a very wide latitude is allowed a soldier who fights, and here the warrior imitates the hunting dog. This initiative is specially remarkable in the outpost service, where there are only small squads, i Thus I saw at Rakovitzn a post of some ninety men commanded by two sergeants 11 who absolutely did nothing; each went : his own way, taking advice of none save i the sun, wliioh told them the time oi ' day. That which strikes the stranger i j most is the absence of respect which ; soldiers show and the cool and pleasanl , manner in which they salute their superiors. The soldier borrows his tobaccc j i of the officer and the officer will take j from the soldier without the slightest > scruple. If by chance a soldier meets f drunken officer in the street, which sometimes happens, he leads him to his quari! ters, managing the matter so adroith . that no one knows anything about it. When campaigning officers and men live the same life. At Kakovitza the military 1 j governor lives side by side with his or) derlies, smokes the same tobacco, dines 5 from the same cuisine, with this differ ence, however, that the officer eats with 1 a fork, while the men dip their tingerf : into every dish.

"The nineteenth century is the age of novels," remarks a literary historian?he might have added with equal truth, " and novel impositions. Studied politeness haB been passed off on us for native refinement, the forms of devotion for its essence, and speculation for science, until we look askance at every new person or thing, and to an assertion of merit, invariably exclaim: "Prove it!" In brief, Satan has made himself so omnipresent, that we look for his cloven foot everywhere?even in a bottle of medicine. Imagine a lady, having a complexion so sallow that you would deny her claims to the Caucasian type if her features did not conform to it, purchasing her first bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery. The one dollar is paid in the verv identical "manner ' in which Mr. Taylor might be expected to purchase a lottery" ticket after his experience with "No. 104,163," with this difference, his doubt would be the result of personal experience, while her's would be founded 011 what a certain practitioner (who has been a whole year trying to correct her refractory liver) has said concerning it At home, she examines the bottle half suspiciously, tastes of its contents carefully, takes the prescribed do6e more carefully, and then proceeds to watch the result i with as much anxiety as a practitioner wonld 1 count the pulse-beat's of a dying man. She ' takes another dose and another, and shows the i bottle to her friends, telling them she " feels better." Her skin loses its bilious tint, her eyes regain their luster, her accustomed energy returns, and the fact that she purchases another bottle is sure witness that she has , found the Golden Medical Discovery to be a reliable remedy for the disease indicated. The lady wisely resolves that in future her estimate of any medicine will be based upon a personal knowledge of its effects, and not upon what Bome p actitioner (who always ma^es long . bills rhyme with pills) may say of it Dr. Pierce ! is in receipt of letters fromhundreds of the largest wholesale and retail druggists iu the United States stating that at the present time ' there is a greater demand for the Goldeu Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets than ever before.

' j O.Y PRESENTATION. : JAMES BUELL, - - PRESIDENT'. I "iTT-n ntT\T TiiJCi QUIY. : j 1877. NEW YORK. 1877: The Sun continues to be the strenuous advocate of i reform and retrenchment, and of the aubstitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and frand in the administration of public affairs. It contends for the government of the i people by the people and for the people, as opposed to j government by frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting of votes, enforced by military violence. It endeavors to supply its readers?/ body now not far from a million of souls?with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts of current events, and employs for this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reporter9 and correspondents. Its reports from Washingi ton, especially, sre full, accurate, and fearless; and it ' > doubtless continues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of ; I those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it endesvors to merit the confidence of the public by dofending the rights of the people against the encroachi menta of unjusttfled power. The price of the Daily Sun is 60 cents a month, or f 90.50 a year, poet-paid; or, with the Sunday edition ' 1 97*70 a year. ' The Sundav edition alone, eight pages, 91*20 a j year, post-paid. 1 The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columns, r is furnished at 91 a ye&r, post-paid. Special Notice.?In order to introduce The Sun more widely to the public, we will send THE WEEKLY edition for the remainder of the year, to Jan. 1,1879, post-paid, for Half a Dollar. Try it.
