THE KENTUCKY MOUNTAINS.

Representative Taulbee, of Kentucky, : Rather more thau an hour was consumed
comes from the mountain district of that M 1 making the transfer from the cars to
'* ’ ' the Wagons, and after the latter had been
started off and had gotten half a mile away,
Lieut. John B. Cole, one of tlie officers of
the guard, rode up to me with a pine box,
which may have held $2000 or $3000 in gold,
on the pommel of his satklle. He had re
in a,ned after the others had left and
ferreting about in a car which we
thought tve had thoroughly searched, had
discovered this box stuck in a corner and
closely covered up with a piece of sacking.
On the next day Uenerui Breckinridge di
rected me to increase the guard to 200 men
and take charge of it in person. I sug
gested that Instead of composing it en
tirely of men from my brigade it should
be constituted of details from all live. 1
thought this the best plan to allay any
little feeling of jealousy that might' arise,
and insure a more perfect vigilance, as 1
felt persuaded thnt these details would all
carefully watch each other. My sugges
tion was adopted. Nearly the entire guard
was kept constantly on duty, day and
night, and a majority of thc whole escort
was generally about the wagons at every
halt, closely inspecting the guard.
At the Savannah river Mr. Davis ordered
that the silver coin, amounting to one huu-
j j - d dollars,
,, . . discharge
the arrears of pay due them. The quarter-
state. and ho lives In the region described
in Charles Egbert Craddock's novels
There are 16,000 square miles of territory
in his district. It comprises twenty comi
ties, and it has one of the most curious
populations in the world. I talked to-day
with Mr. Taulbee about it. Said he: “The
district is very well described by Charles
Egbert Craddock, and the dialect is very
much like that she puts in her stories
though I have never seen tiie language in
print before. The population is the pro
duct of the frontiersmen of several states.
The first settlements in Kentucky were
along the Ohio river and in the
valleys of the Kentucky rivers. As the
country became more settled civilization
• drove such of those of the early settlers
who liked hunting and frontier life up
ward into the mountains. It was the same
with Virginia and Tennessee. These
huntsmen and frontiersmen married and
intermarried, and they have now become
a separate people like unto no other in the
world. They have been away from the
civilization of the railroad, the telegraph
and the daily newspaper, and they liave
grown into a language and customs of their
own. They aro a very patriotic people,
and during the late war, if you will look
at the records in the war department, you
will find that my congressional district
furnished five union regiments. They are
very simple in their tastes, and it does not
take much in my country to make a man
wealthy. If he lias $2600 lie is considered
well to do. If he has $10,000 he is rich.”
“Tell me how the people live.”
“There are very few towns, about two
only to the county; and these will average
about 300 inhabitants each.
“The ordinary house is a log one, con
sisting of two rooms, with boards shaved
smooth with a draw knife, or split, nailed
over the cracks between the logs. One of
the rooms is used for a sleeping room, the
other is the living room, dining room,
kitchen and parlor all in one, in which the
family stay during the day time. There is
but one sleeping room for a whole family,
and when they have, guests visiting them
these turn In and sleep in the same room.
There are a number of beds used, and a
stranger always gets the best bed. They
are very modest with it all. They turn
their backs as if they are np, while the
others of the family are undressing, or if
they are in bed they will cover up their
heads until you have completed your
nightly toilet. It is tlie custom, you know,
and I think our people are noted for their
large proportion of virtuous women. Vir
tue is as much respected in the mountains
as anywhere else in thc world, and though
these women and men will undress to
gether and sleep in the same room, they
will be horrified at the exhibition ofdeqpl-
lette dresses seen at one of your receptions
here, and would run away with
shame from an exhibition of the
modern ballet. These mountaineers are
very hospitable. They entertain you and
give you the best they have, and if you
offer to pay they will refuse and say, they
-do not make their money that way. The
little money they do make comes from
farming. They do not often grow wealthy
and they seem to be very well satisfied
with their life. You have heard of the
feuds of these mountaineers. I have near
ly a half score of murder cases to defend in
one county on account of them. I Know
a place where two families have been
fighting each other for a generation, and
where the different families of the two
tribes never go out to work except in
squads, and always carry Winchester rifles
with them.”
“Is the country improving?”
“Well, yes, somewhat, but civilization
-comes slowly in the mountains. We have
not the best facilities for education, and
though the people want their children ed
ucated .they use native teachers, and they
do not push matters like you do in the
north. This district is made up of both re
publicans and democrats, and the last rep
resentative was republican. The people
are interested in politics, and the cam
paigning has to be done almost altogether
by public speakers.”
DAVID DAVIS’ WILL.
The Second Wife Deprived of Iloser by an Ante-
X initial Agreement.
A Bloomington, 111., special says: The
will of the late David Davis was ottered for
probate to-day and sent to Washington for
verinfcation of the signatures. It was
made March 8th, 1883, just prior to Mr.
Davis’ second marriage. It is very vol
uminous and full of details. The execu
tors are Mr. Davis’ only son, Geo. Perrin
Davis; his son-in-law, Henry S. Swayne, { the

MANNING BUILDING UP.
SiH-n-liry Whitney Hellpin lie Will Heiunte HU
Hut lei III the 1*11.
Washington, August 6.—Secretary j
Whitney thinks that Mr. Manning will
come back to the cabinet in the fall. When ]
he was in Albany last he saw Mr. Manning -
nnd had a talk with him. Mr. Mainline j
said: “Take a good look and tell me wli t |
you think of me." Mr. Whitney said, i
“You are looking first-rate. Your mind is I
ns elear as it ever was. Yon are almost re
covered physically.”
Mr. Manning then asked him what he
thought about his going back. Mr. Whit
ney said:
“You would be very foolish to go back
if ill so dhing you should e ndanger j’our
health. If you should go back now of
course you would break down again, but 1
would go off and not think anything about
the matter at all. I would dismiss it en
tirely from iny mind, ami then decide the
matter in the fall, and let that decision bo
in accordance with your own feelings. You
cannot hope to strengthen the reputation
which you have already made at tlie head
of t he treasury. You should bear this in
mind when you talk about coming back.”
Mr. Manning said lie did not intend to
give the subject any special consideration
at thc present time, but would take it up
and pass on it next tall. The impression
is, however, that he is improving so rapidly
that lie will feel very much like coming

out the money, and a throng of soldie
surrounded the little cabin whore they
were dividing “the pile” into their respec
tive quotas until early dawn. The sight of
so much money seemed to banish sleep.
My brigade received $32 per capita, officers
and men sharing alike. General Breckin
ridge wus paid that sum and, for the pur
pose. was borne on the roll of the brigade.
On the next day, at Washington, I turned
over the residue of the treasure to Mr. M.
II. Olarko, acting treasurer of the confed
erate states, and experienced a feeling of
great relief.
CARRYING THE MAIL TO CUBA.
A Contrast Between tho Present Servin'
of Many Years Ago.
Capt. Coiemau, achr. Weymouth, plying
between Atlantic City andiN. Y., had been
troubled jvith a cough so that he was un
able to sleep, and was induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consumption.
It not only gave him instant relief, but al
layed the extreme soreness in his breast.
His children were similarly affected and a
single dose had tlie same happy effect. Dr.
King’s New Discovery is now the standard
remedy in the Coleman household and on
board the schooner.

A fast mail service between the United
States and Cuba was begun a iew days ago.
Mail from New York city is whirled to
Jacksonville, Florida, and accross the state
to Tampu by rail, where it is taken on
board an iron steamship and carried direct
to Havana.
This service contrasts in a striking way
with that which was the sole dependence
not many years ago. Men are still living
in St. Augustine who received the mails
for Havana, in that ancient town and
carried thorn in dugout canoes down
the eastern Florida coast, to the
Keys, be.tween the Kefs and the
mum land to Key West, and across
the sixty mile reach of open water

years ago, andiprobably is there still, used
to spin exciting yarns of the experience of
these ventursome mail carriers. Their
canoes were eighteen or twenty feet long
and as wide as could be hewn from a good
sized cypress log. They were sharp at
both ends, and were steered with a paddle
held under the skipper’s arm and pressed
against a stern post. A mast, to which
was laced a spritsail, was stepped in the
forward thwart. There were two men in
the crew, and they were provided with
blankets, a few cooking utensils, a supply
of provisions, and a keg of water. If the
weather was fairly favorable they took on
board the mail bags at St. Augustine, to
which town they had come by schooner
from northern ports, went boldly out over
the St. Augustine bar and turned the
prows of their rude craft southward
a little way outside the breakers. They
cruised down to Mosquito Inlet, opposite
New Smyrna. If in the course of the run
the wind blew, too fresh from an easterly
direction, they turned the boat’s nose to
ward the beach, rode through the surf on
one of the rollers, sprang out and hauled
the canoe up the beach and
away from the reach of the
sea. When the sea subsided—some
times not until after many days of waiting
in camp among the sand dunes—the boat
was launched through the surf, and the tations:
United States mails resumed their south
ward journey. - At Mosquito Inlet in rough
weather the inside passage was taken, thus
avoiding the dangerous bit of sailing
around the point of Cape Canaveral. The
route was down the Hillsborough river, be
tween Mangrove islands, to Mosquito
Lagoon, across a neck of land into either
the Banana river or Indian River la-
: goon, down the river and through
narrows to Jupiter Inlet

transfer from the cars to the wagons. This
was not a very agreeable duty. I repre
sented that if no one knew just wlnit sum
of money was there, it was rather an un
pleasantI responsibility to impose on the
party who was to take charge of it. 1
would have no opportunity to count it, nor
possible means of ascertaining whether
the entire amount was turned over to me.
He responded that all that had been con

attached, the law also extends the special !

States, in the discretion of the postmaster-
general. In some other respects, also, it
makes important changes in the existing |
law, repealing the provision now obliga- ;
tory requiring special delivery offices to be Jani
kept open until midnight, leaving that to , J eD
be regulated by the department. 1
It also authorizes the employment of
clerks and other assistants by the post
masters, as at third and fourth class offices.
Another important change is in the au
thority given the postmaster-general to
contract with individuals or compnies in
large cities for a less sum than 8 per cent,
of the face value of the stamps for the
performance of the special service.
