Fle |was a true Texan, almost by birth ; had ‘shared the fortunes of the young republic ‘since the days of Austin; and was never ‘more happy than while engaged in the border warfare, that, with slight inter- ‘vals, had been carried on against ‘either Mexican or Indian foemen, ever | Since the lone-star had spread its banner jto the breeze. No raw recruit was | Wheatley ; though young he was what | Texans term an “‘old Iudian fighter ”—a ‘real “ Texan ranger.”

Holingsworth was not a Texan, but a Tenessean, though Texas had been for |some years his adopted home. It was not the first time he had crossed the Rio Grande. He had been one of the unfor- tunate Mier expedition—a survivor of that decimated band—afterwards carried in chains to Mexico, and there compelled to work breast deep in the mud of the 'great zancas that traversd the streets, \Such experience might account for the serious, somewhat stern expression that \habiteally rested upon his countenance, and gave him the character of a ‘ dark, saturnine man.” I have said incident- ally that never saw him smile—never. He spoke seldom, and, as a general thing, only on matters of duty; but at times, when he fancied himself alone, I have heard him mutter threats, while }a convulsive twitching of the muscles, jand a mechanical clenching of the fingers accompanied his words, as though he stood in the presence of some deadly foe! I had more than once ob- served these frenzied outbursts, without knowing aught of their cause. Harding Holingsworth—such was his full name was a man with whom no one would have desired to take the liberty of asking an explanation of his conduct. His courage and war-prowess were well

nown among the Texans; but it is idle to add this, since otherwise he could not have stood among them in the capacity of a leader. Men like them, who have the election of their own officers, do not trust their lives to the guidance of either stripling or coward.

Wheatly and I were talking the matter over as we rede along, and endeavoring to account for the strange behavior of Holingsworth. We had both concluded that the affair had arisen from some old enmity—perhaps connected with the Mier expedition—when accidentally I men- tioned the Mexican’s name. Up to this moment the Texan lieu- tenant had not seen Ijurra — having been busy with the cattle upon the other side of the hill—nor had the name been pronounced in his hearing.

*¢ Tjurra !” he exclaimed, with a start, reining up and turning to me with an in- quiring look.

‘¢ Tjurra.’”’

“* Rafael Ijurra, do you think ?”

‘* Yes, Rafael—that’s the name.”

‘‘ A tall, dark fellow, moustached and whiskered ?—not ill looking ?”

‘* Yes; he might answer that descrip- tion,” I replied.

‘If it be the same Rafael Ijurra that used to live at Sau Antonio, there’s more than one Texan would like to raise his hair. The same—it must be— there’s no two of the name; taint likely—no.”

‘* What do you know of him?”

‘‘ Know ?—that he’s about the most precious scoundrel in all Texas or Mexico either,and that’ssayingagood deal. Rafael

Ijurra? ’Tishe, by thunder! It ean be nobody else ; and Holingsworth Ha!

now I think of it, it’s just the man; and Harding Holingsworth, of all men living, has good reasons to remember him.”

‘* How? Explain !”

The Texan paused for a moment, as if to collect his scattered memories, and then proceeded to detail what he knew of Rafael Ijurra. His account, without the expletives and emphatic ejaculations which adorned it, was substantially as follows.

Rafael Ijurra was by birth a Texan of Mexican race. He had formerly pos- sessed a hacienda near San Autonio de Bexar, with other considerable property, all of which he had spent at play or otherwise dissipated, so that he had sunk to the status of a professional gambler. Up to the date of the Mier expedition he had passed off as a citizen of Texas, under. the new regime, aud pretended much patriotic

knowledge of the country—of which he was a native—gave weight to hiscoun- sel. It afterwards proved that"his free adyice was intended for the benefit of the enemy with whom he was insecret cor- respondence. TO BE CONTINUED, 2) ut ve DAewonp CORRESPONDENCE, = eae tate anal ns ere

To the Editor ef the Exdtniner.

Sir,—I- fhotice in the last issue of the weekly an article headed ‘ Inhuman Treatment Aboard an Island Vessel.” Ac- cording to your version of the horrible tale, the captain of that ship, so far as cruelty is concerned, stands without a rival in the annals of history since the time of Nero, and you “have earned for him a reputation which he is in no way deserv- ing; andif he was here now I feel that e would have a word or two to say in his own defence. But as heis not, I shall speak for him, so far as I know—having been aboard the vessel during the voyage. What are the facts of the case? The ‘** Willie” arrived on the 4th November ; and Alberton being the seaman’s port of discharge, the day after they arrived they were all paid off, excepting the steward and the Ouban sailor, who wished to re- aain in the ‘‘ Willie.” This does not seem like if his treatment had been very severe. Her ballast was then discharged by shore- men and dunnaged for a cargo of oats ; and the whole story of his inhuman treatment after he arrived here is a pure fabrication from beginning to the ending. The other part of the voyage I know nothing of. The Cuban states that the first night the vessel lay in port the deck was covered with snow, and that he was compelled to sleep on deck. This is very far from the.truth, as there was no snow until after the vessel began taking in oats; and neither was he compelled to sleep on the deck as he had the forecastle all to himeelf. It has a certified capacity for six seamen, and surely there was room for him. And further, that he only got the scraps and was re- fused a:imission to the galley isin keeping with his other statements, for. I noticed that he was there most of his time, and the food I saw him. get was good enough for any man; and | only trust I shall haveas

good threugh life. Ue and the cook were as great as two pick who, by the way, is as good a cook as lL ever saw

on board a vessel, and has been two years with the same captain. And stillranother, that when he asked for boots or money, the Captain not only refused but struck him, is a falsehood. Instead of that he took a good pair of rubber boots off his own feet and gave them to him, aid also some underclothing, and told him when the ship was ready for sea he would get him what- ever he wanted. He was perfectly con- tented until some of the wharf soothsayers began to charm him with highly-wrought descriptions of ease and comfort beyond

the confines of the ‘‘ Willie,” which visions .of. comfort had never been unfortunate Cuban.

realized by the Instead of those passing being his riends, they have proved to be his worst enemies. Still further, his feet were never frozen on board the ‘‘ Willie;” for after he left her, he went on board. Mr. Foley's barque ‘‘ Parnell” and worked there seven or eight days and then got paid off. It was then he made up his mind te visit the city ; and for two days before he left he could be seen promenading the streets with the very boots on his feet the Captain gave him. He never was put ashore from the vessel. He left of his own free will; and instead of being hauled to the station by a farmer, hs walked there himself, which goes to show very plainly that his fest were not frozen by exposure while on board the ‘‘ Willie.” But in the recital of his wrongs, he forgot tos ate that when put off the tran at a station along the line he got b ind drunk on the money he earned at the *‘ Parnell” ; and lay out all night, and if his feet are frozen, himself and the man who sold him the Bug-juwice are responsible. I could trace this much further, but I think I have said sufficient to convince any unprejudiced mind that the Cubans treatment on board the ‘‘ Willie” has not been so very bad after all; and alll can say is that a gold watch, a diamond ring, and two medals, which Captain Casey carries, as reward for bravery and heroic daring, in saving several shipwrecked crews, goes very much further to prove that he is not #0 haplessly lost to every sense of feeling as this «fortunate Cuban would try to make us believe. Neither would the owner of the ‘* Willie” for one moment allow such species of cruelty to be practised on board one of his vessels; and I think it very wrong that an attempt should be made to blacken the reputation of both captain and owner, on the unsupported testimony of a Spaniard. Hoping you will give insertion to this in the Darty and Weexiy Examiner, I remain, Yours, ete., One Wao Was on Boarp, SS Tur Roberts Company's glycerine,.maga- zine at Kinzua junction, twelve miles from Bradford, Pa., and containing™1,236 pounds of glycerine, exploded with terrifie force. The earth trembled as if shaken by an earth- quake, the shock being distinctly felt in Bradford. The exolosion was mysterious in its origin, combustion being cited as the cause. The forest covering at least three acres in the vicinity was laid low, and houges at Kinzua were nearly shaken from their foundations. No one was injured. It is said to be the only known cause of glycerine exploding{from com- bustion.
