MAYFIELD,” ■ Deputy Collector. soon afters tohfe cabin. ,.r 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.

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.
