some day* latter, Sam was
_ on the floor of hia cabin playing with
His child while his wife was getting supper.
The wife, busy with her cooking, asked Long
to go an adjacent spring and bring some wa
ter, a request which he promptly complied
with; leaving his gun in the house, a some
what unusual course with him. He reached
the spring and was just stooping to fill the
pail that he carried, when he was borne
down by a sudden attack from behind, boand
securely, and dragged some yards into the
woods. When he reeognized his assailant
he knew what to expect. He had fallen in
to the hands of the Reddett gang, and the
leader was about to ‘ get even with him.*
Long was stripped and bound to the tree
fay order of the Captain. A supply of hick-
ory switches were obtained, and then the
Captain took one of them and began the
whipping, announcing' with an oath that no
mab could beat him or hia men at shooting
and stay in the country. The sufferings of
the victim were terrible. The flesh was cut
from his back in strips bv the blosfs. and
when the leader of the ruffians had gratified
his rage, others of the band continued the
punishment. But one man among the num
ber showed any mercy, and hfe assertion that
Long had been punished enough was re
ceived with derision.
Finally the hunter fainted under the pain,
and the ruffians, having satisfied their
grudge, departed, leaving the object of their
spite still bound to the tree.
In this position he was found by his wife,
who bad becomed alarmed for his safety, and
who, searching for him had been attracted to
the spot by a faint moaning. She assisted
him to reach the cabin, which he did with
difficulty, and then nursed him faithfully to
recovery. It was weeks before he was well
enough to nqove about.
. Scarcely had Long recovered from his
wounds when the cabin was found deserted,
and the members of the Rsddett band, boas
ted openly of what they had done. At
the same time they became bolder than ever
in the commission of crime, always hunting
or traveling together in a company of between
twenty aud thirty and defying attack from
any quarter.
One day as they were engaged on a hunt
a member of the band became separated from
the rest in the excitement of the chase. He
was found lying dead, shot in the lett eye.

It wonld be paradoxical to say that great
men are great eaters, and-that the capacity
of the stomach is at good- a criterion by
which to jadge of mental strength and
ability as the size of the head. Yet a study
of the lives of great men oes-fkr .towards
robbing the paradox of its wonder and giv
ing itjan air of snbstantial reality. The good
Socrates, wisest among men, waa a perfect
Dr. Johnson in th. matter of appetite; and
had a Boswell instead of a Plato described
hiB peculiarities and given ns the rainutia
oflus life, we wonld have been made folly
aware of this. Demosthenes was a man ot
imgntar appatite. He could do with a
very moderate quantity of food when study*
ing; but be craved good living for all that,
and never felled to eat like a gourmand on
any occasion that be foond bunadf reclin
ing before a good substantial meal. Alex
ander, who was a perfect prototype of Nn-
Joleon in rise, appearance and manner, waa
nvariably a glutton when snrrounded by
an abundance of food and wine ; and in
this particular, too, he did not differ mnch
from the “little Corporal,” as shall be
shown in the coarse of this article. Iso
crates, the Cicero of Greece- in personal
appearance, as well as in the round and so
norous rhetorical periods that distinguish
ed his speaking and writing, was an extra
ordinary eater. He fairly loved ail sorts
of good edibicsand has "wont to dispose
[nantities of them three or fonr
times a day. Pericles was a hearty eater.
Aicibiades loved plenty of good food hard
ly less than women and wine, which is
saying a great deal. - - ■
Cicero was a persistent follower of the
Epiouriiui philosophy, and none enjoyed
good living better than he, or could ' eat
more heartily. He had an insuperable dis
like 4 for all kinds of hardship and danger,
and was always delighted in the comforts
of home and a will-filled table. The Ro
man Emperors numbered among them
many a noble glntton. Heliogabalus loved
to sap on the tongues of . peacocks and
nightingales, and fed his Hons on pheasants
and parrots. His majesty would also of
ten give a zest to the pleasures of the ta
ble by assembling companies of guests who
were nil fat or all lean, or all tall or all
bald or all gouty. The truth of that story
that Nero enriched his soups by dissolving
diamonds in them may be safely left for
chemists to decide. There can be no doubt
that Caesar loved the pleasures of the table
and was himself a genial host. On one oc
casion, when dining ont. if we may believe
Suetonius, some very rancid oil was served
