THE SOUTHERN WORLD, NOVEMBER 16,1882.
an idea or two. The little girls were never
satisfied unless their rag dollies were dressed
in war paint and feathers, and their play
houses were filled with warriors and squaws.
“In July, after a most delightful visit, we
started home. When we readied Indian
Springs—then a fashionable resort—we found
that Ohillie Mackintosh, the son of the good
chief, Mackintosh, who was killed by hos
tile Indians for his amity to the whites, was
putting up at the hotel. He was returning
from Washington where lie had been to con
fer with the Government concerning the
lands. Chillie rode in a close carriage,'
driven by a white man, and had with him
his two wives, a white woman and a squaw.
The white wife was terribly jealous of the
poor Indian woman, and treated her with
great unkindness.
“After leaving the Springs, we came to a
beautiful cornfield owned by an Indian.
Your grandfather offered to buy some roast
ing ears but the Indian refused to sell them.
That evening when we reached the 'stand,’
the landlord told us the Indians were going
to have their green-corn dance in the neigh
borhood that night. This explained the In
dian’s unwillingness to part with his corn;
he would never consent to have it gathered
before the dance came off.
“The green-corn dance is a kind of relig
ious ceremony, and corresponds to the Jew
ish Feast of Ingathering, though there
seemed to be very little religion about the
'big Injuns’ who lay half drunk against the
logs, in an open space in the woods where we
found them the next moruing.
“One of the most amusing sights was a
large Indian with a tremendous bunch of
feathers on his head, and painted in a fan
tastic manner, who, sealed by a young squaw
on a log, was fanning her with a turkey-tail
fan in the most sentimental style.
“The next ‘stand’ was kept by the chief
Black Hawk. Your grandfather asked me
if I would not like to see an Indian princess;
so we called upon the chief's family. They
were just preparing for their green-corn
dance, and the chiefs daughter, an intelli
gent, good-looking girl, was makiug a calico
dress—a white ground with great red figures
all through it—to Wear upon the qccasion.
She did not quit her sewing when we en-
tered, but worked on as industriously and
awkwardly as possible; for the poor girl was
sewing without a thimble. I sent Mary, my
id, for hers, and taught the young Indian
girl the use of it. Her delight and gratitude
for the little gift were unbounded. The
squaws and children gathered round to see
the wonder, and such trying on, such smiles
of approbation as that thimble received, 1
am sure no other thimble has ever been
treated to since they were invented. Quite
often after that your grandfather would buy
succotash, a mixture of green corn and snap
beans, and sofky, a kind of fermented horn-
iny, from the Indians; but I let him enjoy
them all by himself, for I must confess I
could never eat Indian mixtures.’’
My grandmother remembers having been
in Montgomery in 1835, when the Cberokees
passed through that city on their way west
of the Mississippi. Many of the chiefs and
warriors of the tribe were in chains, and the
look of sullen endurance and suffering on
the faces of this exiled people was extremely
touching. It is true the United States had
paid them $5,262,251, but the Government
sbemed to act upon the principle of pay and
humiliate, .too.
I was once acquainted with a Swede who
had been adopted by the Osage Indians. He
was u friend of John Boss, the celebrated
chief of tho Cherokees, and gave me his name
in the .Cherokee language—it was written
nounced, Koh-weh-s-koh
Swamp Sparrow. His
fcewmross, was named Te-tah-te,
77icli means Spoon. My informant was
himself called by the Cherokees, Te-kaw
wha-lees-ky, which signifies, The man who
writes orders for flour.
John Howard Payne, author of “Home,
Sweet Home,” was a warm, personal friend
of John Ross, who will be remembered os the
celebrated chief of the Cherokees. At the
time the Cherokees were removed from their
homes in Georgia to their present possessions
west of the Mississippi river, Payne was
spending a few weeks in Georgia with Ross,
who was occupying a miserable cabin, hav
ing been forcibly ejected from his former
.home.
A number of prominent Cherokees were in
prison, and that portion of Georgia in which
the tribe was located, was scoured by armed
squads of the Georgia militia, who had or
ders to arrest alt who refused to leave the
country.
While Ross and Payne were seated before
-.the fire in the hut, the door was suddenly
burst open and six or eight militia men
sprang into the room. Ross’s wife was
seated on a trunk containing many valuable
papers and a small amount of money, and at
the unexpected intrusion she sprang up and
screamed wildly. Ross spoke to her in the
Cherokee language, telling her to be seated,
she would save the contents of the trunk,
and as she thus sat down again, the intrud
ers told Ross that he and Payne were under
arrest and must prepare to accompany the
squad to Milledgeville, where they were to
be imprisoned. The soldiers lost no time in
taking their prisoners awuy. Ross was per
mitted to ride his own horse, while Payne
was mounted on one led by a soldier. As
tlie little party left the hovel, rain began
falling and continued until every man was
drenched thoroughly. The journey lasted
all night. Toward midnight, Payne's escort,
in order to keep himself awake, began
humming “Home, home, sweet, sweet
home,” when Payne remarked:
“Little did I expect to hear that song un
der such circumstances and at such a time.
Do you know the author?”
“No," said the soldier. “Do you?"
“Yes," answered Payne; “I composed it.’*
"The devil you did. You can tell that to
some fellows, but not to me. Look here,
you made that song you say; if you did—
and I know you didn’t—you can say it all
without stopping. It has something in it
about pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in
and reel it off, and if you can’t I’ll bounce
you from your horse and lead you instead of
it.”
The threat was answered by Payne, who
repeated the song in a slow, subdued tone,
and then sang it, making the old woods ring
with the tender melody and pathos of the
words. It touched the heart of the rough
soldier, who was not only captivated but
convinced, and who said that the composer
of such a song should never go to prison if
he could Help it. And when the party
reached Milledgeville they were, atter a pre
liminary examination, discharged, much to
their surprise. Payne insisted it was be
cause the leader of the squad had been under
the magnetic influence of Ross’s conversa
tion, and Ross insisted that they had been
saved from insult and imprisonment by the
power of "Home, Sweet Home," sung as
only those who feel can sing it.
The friendship existing between Ross and
Payne endured until the grave closed over
the mortal remains of the latter.

YOU
For the Cook.
Take two cups of sugar, one cup of butter,
one cup of milk, one even teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in the milk ; hot water nmy
be used instead of milk, if it is thought ad
visable; use flour enough to make a soft
dough, roll thin and bake in a quick oven.
Potato balls are very nice for breakfast.
Boil them, and while still warm mash them
until there are no lumps left; then mix but
ter, pepper, salt, a little chopped parsley,
and one or more raw eggs; beat these to
gether thorpugbly, then mould in balls, dip
in beaten eggs and then in flour, and fry in
butter.
A delicious stuffing for any fowl, but espe
cially for the delicately-flavored chicken, or
any of the small fowls, is made by taking
about two dozen oysters; chop them very
fine, and mix them with two cups of fine
bread crumbs, or powdered crackers. A full
ounce of butter is required. A tablespoon-
ful of chopped parsley, a little grated lemon
peel, plenty of salt and black pepper, a sus
picion of cayenne pepper; mix these
thoroughly; that is half the secret of success
in cooking, to have the ingredients which
compose a dish so blended that it is impos
sible to tell precisely of what it is composed.
This stuffing should be moistened with a lit
tle of the oyster liquor, and the beaten yolk
of one egg.
