I read this little paragraph and ray mind went back sixyears. 1 knew John Uritsben, and I also knew his twin brother Joseph. I wassjfaniiliur with tho details of the action that placed John Brisben in a felon's cell, and now when tho sad affair is brought back to mind so vividly I must write it out, for nover before have 1 met, in prose or poetry, in real life or iu romance, a eroater hero than plain, matter-of-fact John Brisben. The Brisbens catue of good stock. I think tho great-grandfather of my hero emigrated to Kentucky when Kenton's Station, between the present City of Maysvillo and the historic, old Town of Washington, was the principal Fettle mcnt on the "dark ami bloody ground." He came from 1'pper Pennsylvania and locntod about five miles from the Ohio river, on Limestone Creek. lie was an industrious, strong-limbed, lion-hearted old fellow, and in a few years his sur roundings were of the most comfortable description. One of his sons, Kdwin Rrisben, once represented Kentucky in the Federal Congress. I think he was the grandfather of John and Joseph Brisben. Their father's name was Sam rjel, and ho died whon they were little children, leaving his widow an excellent bluo-graas farm awl a. snug little fortune in blocks, bonds aud mortgage. , Tho widow remained a widow until her death. Mrs. s Samuel Brisl n was a good woman. aud who idolized her twin boy. Liko most twins, the brothers resembled each otherln a striking man ner, and even intimate acquaintances could not tell them HparU But although tho physical resemblance was ao strong there was great dissimilarity iu the dis positions of the twins. Joseph Brisben was surlv and morose, sometimes cun ning ami revengeful. He was withal & druamer and an enthusiast; a man well learned in books, a brilliant, frothy talker when he chose to be sociable (which waeMom), a splendid horse man, and a most excellent shot. John Brisbeu, on the contrary, was cheerful and bright, honorable and forgiving. Ho was a man of high moral principle, Intensely tiraetical and methodical, cared little for books, and, although ho said but little, was a splendid com panion, lie was a poor horseman, and i don't think he ever shot a gun in his life. Ho saw nothing of tho poetry of life, tind as for sport, ho enjoyed him- olf only when hard at work, lie loved Ills brother, and when they were boys together suffered punishment many times, and uncomplainingly, that "Jodie" might go scot free. j lis life was therefore ono constant sacrifice, but the object of this loving adoration made but shabby returns tor this unself ish devotion. They were 2(1 years old when their mother died very suddenly, Joseph made a great pretense of grief, and was so hysterical at the gravu that he had to bo led uwny. John, on tho contrary, never demou nt mil ve, took tho great alllietion with Ids cusiomai'v coolness. Ho n:iid but little, and shed no tears. Tho properly left to tho boys was con siderable. The day they were '1 years old the trustees met and made settle ment. There was the blue-grass farm valued at t.V),(.HKi, and $1uo,mm) in well Invested securities which could bo turn- .1 1 . t .1 t . . en iniu money. joscpn (icmamietl a division. "You can tuko tho farm, Jack." he said. "I was never cut out for a farm er, (llvo luelfro.tHK) in money for my snare. So this sort of 11 division was made. John continued on at the homestead, working in his plain, methodical way, and slowly adding to his sliaro of tho money what he could ralso out of the profits of tho farm. Joseph, with his newly-acipilred wealth, set up an es tablishment at tho nearest town and bo tan a life of pleasure, nleasuro of tho grosser sort. His brother gavo hlru no aovicii, lor no Know 11 was useless. alosepn speiii lis money with great THE DAILY prodigality and before ho knew it, ho was a beggar. In tho meantime John's $25,000 bad doubled itself, One day Joseph camo to him with a full confes ion of his pecuniary troubles: "Jack,", ho said, "I am not only a beggar, but I an. heavily in debt, llelo mo out liko a good fellow, and I will settle down anubegin lifo in soberonru cst. With my capacity for business 1 can soon make money enough to repay you. I havo sown my wild oats, and with a littlo help I can soon recover all ' that 4 havo squandered so foolish ly." For an answer John Brisben placed his namo to an order for tho $2o,0(t() ho bad earned so laboriously. "Will that bo onough, Jodie P" ho ask ed, "booause I have us much more, which you can havo if it is necessary." "This will bo sufficient, old fellow," was the reply. "In two years 1 will pay It back." Ho went back to town, drew his money, paid bis debts, sold some of his horses and discharged several of his servants. Twonty thousand dollars was left out of tho loan, lie invested this in business, aud for a while seemed to have really reformed. John was en couraged to say: "Jodie will come out all right. Ho is smarter than 1, and in live years will bo worth more money than I could make in a life-timo." In less than three years Joseph Bris bon's affairs were in tho hands of his creditors, and a sheriff's oiliccr closed out his business. Again he turned to his brother for help and sympathy. "I own that 1 managed a trille care lessly," lie said by way of explanation. "Experience is a dear teacher, urn! tho lesson I havo learned I shall never for get. If you come to my assistance now I can soon recover myself." Once more John Brisben placed his name to a check payable to the order of nis brother, and Joseph entered into business again. In two years he was a oankrupt. "I shall ncVer succeed in business, Jack," he said. "Help mo out of this trouble and I will live with you on the farm. 1 shall succeed as a fanner." It took all of John Brisben's hoard to pay bis brother's debts, but ho made no complaint, uttered no reproach. Ho said: "I hnl glad you are coming back to the farm, Jodie. You need do no work, and we will be very happy to gether." So Joseph took up his residence at tho arnt, and remembering his brother's words, devoted his time principally to hunting, fishing and riding about tho country. In the meantime John Bris ben hall fallen in love, and tho daugh ter of a neighboring fanner, Compton by name,' was lu's promised wife. Be ing a man of strict honor himself and having full confidence in his brother, he did not object when Joseph began to pay his atlianced very marked attention. "I am glad he likes her," he thought. "I am so busy on the farm that I havo littlo time for pleasure, and Alice is so fond of amusement" One night Joseph came to him just as tho shailows of evening were beginning to fall. Thero was a triumphant ring in his voice when he spoke. "Jack, old boy," he said, holding out his band, "congratulate me. I think that from to-day I can date tho begin ning of a new life Alice Compton has promised to be my wife." He was too much cngrossod with his now happiness to see the effect of this announcement as portrayed on Joint's face.. He did not notice how the strong man's hand trombled in his own. "Is this true?" faltered John at last. "Whv, of course it is. Are you not glad. We love each other and shall be very happy." "'We love each other, and shall lie very happy!' " repeated John mechan ically, anil all tho sunshine of his life sunk behindjthe heavy clouds of despair. "Yes, Jodie, I am glad, and 1 wish you long years of happiness." He turned away aud staggered, rather than walked, to his own room. He did not stir all night. Once a deep, sob bing groan struggled to his lips, and the moonbeams struggling through the window fell full upon Tiis face, and sur prised two great tears stealing down his pale chocks. Ho brushed away this evidence of weakness and sorrow, and when tho morrow came, no one looking Into his calm, serene eyes would have guessod how hard was the battle that had been fought and won in that lonely chamber. They wore married, and the man re jected bytho brido and supplanted by tho groom was the first to congratulate the newly-married pair. , A vacant house on the farm was fitted up for their reception and John Brisben's 'money paid for tho furnishing. "Hereafter, Jodie," ho said, "we will divide tho profits of the farm. I don't need much, and you shall havo tho larger share." Ten years passed awav. and John Brisben, an old man before his time, still worked from dawn till dark that his brother might play the gentleman and keep in comfort tho lartre fami v which tho years had drawn around him. It had beou necessary to mort'iairo tho .111 . 1. d oiu nomesieau, 10 raise money to iiav 1 Joseph's gambling debts, for of late years ho had played heavily and had invariably lost lino day it was in tho summer of Ift77 a fnrrrful finnL' ll-uu l,r.titit..,l ..ft ono of the flunks at the shire town, by Joseph lirishon, and the money for which it called was unhesitatingly paid over to him. Ho was under the in fluence of liquor at tho time, and deep ly interested in a game of cards for high stakes, which was in progress. The check was for $2,000, I think. Before daylight tho next morning Joseph Bris ben nan lost every dollar ot It. io drown his chairrin ho became beastly drunk, and whilu iu this condition an olllcer arrived and apprehended him for forgery aud uttering a forged cheek. Tho prisoner was confined in jail, and word of his disgrace was sent to John Brisben. Tho latter read the message, and a mist eamn over his eyes. He groaned audibly, and but for a strong effort of tho will would havo fallen to the floor, ho weakened was be by tho shock. "Mm must not know it," ho said to hlmsejr, and ho made instant pretiaru- tions to visit his brother. When ho ranched the Jail ho was admitted to tho coll or tho wretched criminal. The brothers remained together for several hours. What passed during tho In CAIRO BULLETIN: THUUSDAY MOUN1M), AUGUST 2, 1888. terview will never bo known. When John Brisben emerged from tho jail ho went stralghtto the magistrate who hail issued tho warrant for tho apprehension of Josoph Brisben. ' 'Squire," he said, la his slow, hes itating way. "You havo made a mis take.'7 "In what way, Mr. Brisbon?" asked tho magistrate, who hud 'a high regard for his visitor. "You have caused tho arrest of an in nocent man." "But" began tho magistrate. "Issue an order for my brother's in stant release. Ho is innocent of the in tent to do wrong. I am tho guilty man. I forged tho name of Charles Ellison to tho check which ho uttered. Ho did uot know that it was a forgery." "You!" cried tho astounded magis trate. You a forger impossible?" "Nothing is impossible in these days," said the white-haired old man sternly. "I alone am guilty. My brother is in nocent." So stoutly did ho aver that ho was tho forger that tho magistrate reluctantly issued a warrant for his arrest, ami at the samo time wrote an order to tho jail er for tho release of Joseph Brisben. "My constable will be in soon," said tho magistrate, but tho old hero picked up both tho papers. "I will not trouble him," he said; "I will execute both papers." And ho did. Handing the jailer both papers, he explained their meaning thus: "They have made a mistake, ft is I who am to be your prisoner. My brother is innocent." Accordingly Joseph Brisben was re leased and returned to tho farm. John remained at tho jail a prisoner. When the extraordinary affair became known, several prominent citizens offered to go on the accused man's bond, but ho would not accept their kind offices. At the trial he plead guilty ' and was sen tenced to fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor in tho penitentiary. Joseph came to see him before he was removed to Frankfort, but their interview was a private one. Joseph Brisben remained at the farm, but ho was a changed man. From tho day of his release from jail down to the time of his death, he was never known to touch a card, and a drop of liquor never passed his lips. Last April ho died, and his confession duly sworn to before a justice of the peace, was made public after his burial. In substance it was this: That he was guilty of tho for gery for which bis heroic brother was suffering a long imprisonment. It was my brothers wish, not mine," reads the document. "He insisted that ho who had no ties of blood rr marri.igo could better suffer the punishment and the disgrace than I who had dependent upon me a large familv." Noble John Brisben!

The parlor car was crowded with passengers. At a small station a woman in showy attire entered and demanded a whole section. It was not to bo had. and the conduc tor, brakeman, porter and cook, who seemed to Vie impressed with ttie new passenger's importance, were all pain fully exercised to know whore to put tier." Tlie eaii.-e of ull tbis commotion was very blonde, very large, very rich ly clothed and very swell. When it seemed impossible to get a whole sec tion, or even half a one, she turned to the young ladies and said: Will you consent to take the upper berth of your section and let me have the lower?" ".Sorry we can't oblige you," replied one of the pink-cheeked fairies; "but really we prefer to keep the lower berth ourselves. ' Then ttie big blonde straightened her self up, threw ineffable contempt and importaueo into her pale eyes and said: 'T'orliaps you don't know who I am?" "Nowe don't," replied the Terro lloiite girl, in a tone or serene indiffer ence. 'i will tell you," said the woman of silk and jewels. "I am Mrs. Colonel Hunlevy Wickersham." (Dunlevy Wiekersham is known all along that end of tlie road as tho bonanza man buliels of money, so much that he needs nothing more.) "Are you, indeed?"' replied the Hoos ier maiden. "IVrhaps you doix't know who 1 am?" Mine. Bonanza's face said that she didn't, and also that sho had some cu-rio.-itv. "Weil, I am Mrs. General (Jnint."

THE TERTIO-MILLENNIAL CI1KA1' ICXCUItHION ItATKH hVEHV DAY DUR- INU TI1K HL'MMKli. TO BANTA Fl, NEW MEXICO. Suuta Fo, New Mexico, u the oldest city iu the United States. It has reached tire end ot'itstiibt third of a thousand years its tuilio-iuilleniHl penoil. '1 ho Turtle-Millennial Celebration aud Mining aud Indus trial Exposition, which will bo inaugurated there on tho 2d of July and close on tho Jd of August, will bo sit event of k'rout histo rical us well us practical importaueo to the country at large. It is intended to coui- mutnontto tho three hundred and thirty third anniversary of the. Spanish settlement of the place. Til hi EXPOSITION, Which will constitute the practical part of tho celebration, will beau epitome of tho mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock aud yeucrul industrial icsouiccs and capa bilities of the Territory. Those, therefore, who nro interested in either mining, ayri cultuio or stock-raising will have n good op portunity to visit New Mexico this season, as tho low tare will bo a great inducement to make the trip. Tho development of the minis of this vast region has but begun, yet in the past year tho proportionate in crease 10 tho output ot ore was greater than iu auy other State tn territory. New Mex ico's showing at the mining expopitioji held at Denver last season showed, more clearly than anything else, the vastness of its min eral wealth. It has been the general belief heretofore that auriculture in New Mexico would not pay. This is an unfortunate error. At tho exposition will bo teen nimplcs of all soils of fruits and field products which vio with those of prolific Kansas. With irrigation tho soil of the Territory csn be mado to yield immensely, and there is no pursuit more remunerative than that ot larming. Agricultural products, of all kinds, bring high prices upon a ready market, always accibsiblo in the growing mining towns, and thoenst of raising is comparatively small. As a cattle aud sheep country, too, New Mexico, cannot be surpassed. Her valleys and mesas afford fine grazing grounds for countless herds. A3 the cele bration at Santa Fo will be tho means of draw ing a larger number of people into the Territory than usual, owing to the cheap fare, an opportunity will be offered those who may be interested in stock-raising to investigate. THE CELEDKAT10N. Besides the practical, tho Tortio-Millenial will embrace many features the most novel and romantic. Forjnstauce, three days tho ISth, 19th, aud 20th of July will bo devoted to the presentation of historic scenes. These will represent the period which bus transpired since the settlement of the city, each day to represent a century of history Hud progress. The three civili zations will also be represented that which exihted at tho time of tho coming of (he conquerors, that which tho Spaniards brought with them aud that which followed the American occupation of 1840. These representations will be illuotrated by caval cades in costume, indicative of tho several distinctive expeditions into New Mexico and the surrounding territory. There will also lie numerous tableaux, the whole com bining to make one of the most novel and interesting exhibitions ever witnessed in this country. There will, in addition, be various ludiau gatuee, inees and flant.ce by the Pueblos, descendants of the ancient in habitants of the Territory, ambuscades and sham tights by tho Zunis, with exhibitions of their peculiar rites and ceremonies, one of which will be a primitive dance repre senting the gods and heroes of their folk lore mythology; native Mexican games, dances and juggling; oiiginal Aztec dances, in which both Mexicans and Indians will take part; various Mexican sports aud the grsinj fandango; war and other peculiar dances by the Mcsculcro and Jicarilla Apuches; exhibitions by Mexican vacqueros iu throwing the lariat; a . mounted tournament, in cos tumes of three centuries ago; the Sm Domingo and Saudia feasts, ami other peculiar and interesting ceremonies which would take much space aud time to note. iujumj Tim 1 10.
