Darien, you know, Is exclusively a
timber market, and during the f»n
and winter months the drift of timber
is immense; sometimes averaging fifty
rafts a day. Afc such times, the town
is literally crowded with raft Lanflg,

Panicular attention given to file collec- , ,
hon of claims in Hbuaton and adjoining oE mea among them. After a
comities. drift of several days, exposed to the
inclemency of the wentlier, when they
arrive in port and receive their wages
a.goodly number get on a ‘bender,’ 1
lasting some of them several days, or
until all their hard earned, wages find
its way into tl»« pockets of sharpers,
■or the city treasury.
Among the latter class was Uriah
Hepworth, from Montgomery conntv.
He generally proceeded to get drunk
as soon as he arrived at Darien, and
remained so as long as he-stayed. He
was a harmless old fellow when drank,
and a clever man when sober, so that
the city authorities were more lenient
with him than the majority of offend
ers. He was so constituted that he
could get drunk aud remain at the
same temperature for a week—always
going in a kind of daze all the time.
All the whiskey in town wo old not
get him down, while one drink a day
would keep him in the same torpid
state.
At the time I speak of Uriah had
been on an unusually long spree, and
the boys who had been in the habit- of
having sport with him, had become
tired of him, and thinking too much
of him to see him go to- prison, deter
mined to scare him off, and had al
ready matured a plan to do so, when,
as I passed a certain store one day
from dinner, one of the boys beck
oned me in.
Now, it was known that Uriah
thought a great deal of me, for I had
stood by him iu more than one scrape,
and he had every confidence in me.—
The boys thought I coaid hcl < them
out,, and made me acquainted with
their modus operandi. It was thought
by them necessary that Uiai.h should
have at least one friend (?), and I
readily agreed to personate that
friend.
They were to get up a sham fight,
itL which Uriah was to be roughly
handled, bat not hurt All being
ready, a couple of the'rirtfefiffif began
an altercation, which soon culminated
general riot apparently, into
which Uriah was nnwittinglv drawn.
Knives and sticks were flourished
nronnd, men were knocked down on
both sides—Uriah heing floored sever
al times—until at last one of the crowd
making a desperate lick with his knife
at Uriah’s th'oat dexterously pinched
hinAvhile another from behind ponred
alittle bottie of red ink over his head.
The blood (?) flowed fieely, which
seemed to frighten the combatants,
who with one accord turned their at
tention to convincing Uriah that he
was badly cut He, seeing the blood,
was easily convicted that he was a
dead man, fell upon bis back and
bowled for a doctor to stop the flow of
blood.
When Uriah was well nigh fright
ened to death, a doctor arrived, and
with, much gravity proceeded to ex
amine the wounds; finding none, he
informed Uriah that he was ike vic
tim of a hoax, and advised him to go
home before lie was ent up into saus
age meat or cat fish bait
Uriah: waxed exeeding wroth at this
and was in for a head skinning or ex
terminating the whole party, with the
exception of the doctor and myself,
whom he regarded as his friends.
However, I succeeded in molifying
him, and suggested that he take them
by detail. I advised him to begin by
challenging Captain Smith, who emp
tied theinkoni him. This he did, and
of course the challenge was accepted
without delgy.
I was. to act as Uriah's best friend,
and drew aside with Cap. ’s second- to
arrange the preliminaries. It was- ar
ranged that they should fight with
single barreled, guns (of which there
was a supply fn the store) afc twenty
paces, with a handfnL or two of buck
shot in. each gun, and powder enough
to fcul at each, end of the gun. We
loaded in. the presence of the antago
nists, with as much solemnity as pos
sible, alltime talking about the crim
inality and fatality of dueling: We
spoke of coffins, shrouds, grave-stones,
and such like ghostly subjects, until I
noticed that Uriah was in an agony of

the code of honor, take his place. j
“Shook him full in the breast, and j
you will get meat,” I beard Cap.’s
second say..
‘Jest listen! they are going to mur
der me in cold blood,” said Uriah.
“No Uriah,” said I, “You have the
same chance as Cap. Besides, Cap
cannot hit the broad! side of a. bam,
and is a coward to boot; so, upon* the
whole, you have all tne ehanches in
your favor. Shoot him in the
paunch.”
Eventually we got him in position,
placed guns in their hands, and gave

Ready! Aim! Fire!
Uriah’s cap popped, but Cap.’s gun,
having a small squib of powder, made
a report When Uriah found that he
was not hurt, he threw down his gun.
Pshaw!” he said, and started for the
store.
‘Hold on!” said L “You most do
is over again. Never leave an affair
of honor in this way.”
“Squire, PH; be dad fetched if I
shoot again. I’ve showed I’m not
skeered, and I’m satisfied.”
We could not force him to pass an
other shot, and so far from being
ready to leave the town, he insisted
; making up and taking a drink.
The boys then got out a warrant for
liis arrest, charging him with fighting
‘single barreled duel,” anil placed
the same in the hands of a good-na
tured constable, who air sfc d Lim in
the name of the state. He gave bond
and was turned loose.
We thonght be would leave before
night, as he was informed that his
trial wonld take place at that time—
Night coming on and Uriah still in
the city, he was bronght before a moot
court, but which was a buna fide court
to him. A jury of impartial men was
impanneled without difficulty; he was
tried, convicted and sentenced to be
hung on the spot. He was so well
defended, that he had no uneasiness
until a verdict was given-. When the
Court- asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed, he
arose and put up one of the most piti
ful plens I ever listened to. It would
have melted the hearts of any one
else, but that crowd was adamant.-
Tbe Judge, with great .solemnity,
passed sentence, and there was a mis
erable man.
They, carried him ont of town a
piece to a large oak, where the execu
tion was to take place. As was previ
ously arranged, I came suddenly upon
them in the nick of time with a com
pany aud rescued him.
Uriah immediately left for home,
thanking me from his inmost heart.
Now, do yon wonder at my being
engaged in a duel? Remember I was
a boy in those days, and Uriah has
since become a sober man. If we did
use evil means, good resnlted there
from, and I am not sorry for tbe part
I took in the afinir.—Quitman Repor

The Knoxville Chronicle publishes

following is a syopsis:

them, Congress ought to extend them

passage of the bill will be that the
school system will be destroyed, war
and race prejudices, which were being
rapidly obliterated will be revived
with unwonted fury and the present
generation will not live to see so fa

Old People’s Happy Days.
Hr. Stephen Woodward and wife
of Dooly county, celebrated the fifti
eth anniversary of their wedding day
on Wednesday 17th inst, with a din-1
ner at their home, at which were gath
ered their children and their descend
ants. The event we are told, was one
of great enjoyment to this ancient and
estimable couple, who for fifty years
have lived together enjoying henitb
and prosperity, and rearing an honor
able family of sons and daughters.
Mr. Woodward is now iu liis sixty-
eighth year, and is hale and vigorous
for one of his years. He was marrii d

father mid mother, with theifl^Clfii*
dren, six sons, myself included, with
my sister Mandy, aged 22, and Sarah,
aged IT, started from Arkadelphia,
Clarke county, Arkansas, to emigrate
to Texas. When within five rnilec
eastof Jacksboto,. Jack county, Texas,
I was walking ahead of tire wagons,
when I called to father: “Look at the
Indians! Here they come!” My fa
ther jumped^ from the wagon and said
“Right here will I die-”
My father and sister Sarah both
had two six shooters each, and they
fought desperately. My father killed
four Indians and wounded several.—
My sister Sarah wounded several In
dians.
All were soon killed of my family,
they were all scalped, the wagons cut
to pieces and burned, the horses sto
len, and all the provisions, apparel,
plunder, etc,, destroyed. At the
commencement of the firing I was cut
off from the tram, and held up my
hands and surrendered.
The. Indians tied me to the back of
a horse, and in this way I was forced
to lay for four days, until they reached
their camp in tne Wachita mountains.
I was then token from the horse and
tied with a log chain to "a plum tree,
m front of the chief’s camp. I was
kept tied to the tree for one year, was
Zed generally with raw meat, and was
at times forced to eat the entrails of
the beef and horses that were killed,
and was choked until I did eat it.
After the arrest of Santana and Big
Tree I was released from the chain,
and was allowed to wander around the
camp, closely watched. I stole a five
dollar gold piece from the pocket book
of one of the chiefs, iftd bribed one of
big squaws to get me an old bat, shirt
and pants, and mode my escape that
night. I have walked all the wav
from the Washita mountains; been
one week and a half on the road, and
haven’t had anything to eat in four
days.- - - —

Dogs and their Cost.
The St. Louis Globe has been ma
king some calculations from recent
statistics on this question, and sum:
up in reference to the State of Mis
souri as follows:
Our 400,000 dogs furnish one of
the most important economic consid
erations now affecting the; State. In
the first plage they: militate -against
tbe mutton crop annually to the ex
tent of at least §5,000,000; secondly
they cost at on average of 25 cents a
week each. §6,500,000—enough to
run all our common schools and leave
a large stealable surplus; thirdly, thay
Jay annually through hydrophobia,
at least 120 persons, wliieh, §5,000
each—the average price paid by rail
roads for the very poorest of brakes
men—amounts to: tho farther sum of
§690,000. Here is a direct expendi
ture of nearly §7,750,000 for dogs not
to mention the fines, costa and more
remote sentimental damages resulting
from law suits about dog lights and
consequent severance of friendship
between the owners of. the combat
ive curs.. Capitalized, our dogs rep
resent a waste of §80,000;000, and in
vested at compound interest, their
worthlessness would pay ofl^the na
tional debt before 1900. "

Blyden, a very black man, a native of
Cnha,.and now living in Liberia:
He said that they are now fighting
thebattle of civil rights in Liberia—
that by an old law a white man is not
allowed to vote, or hold office, or own
lands, and that a proposition to so
change the law as to the- whites
