Returned from Indian Captivi
ty- A Startling Tale by
a Young Boy.
On the evening of I be 26th of May,
there arrived in Sherman, Texas, a lad
about fifteen years old, who from his
general appearance and starved look,
pave indications of having suffered
terribly from hunger and cruelty.
This boy’s conduct and general for
lorn, starved look attracted the atten
tion of several gentlemen who were
sitting in front of the Southern Hotel
and one of them interrogated him iu
relation to who he was, where from,
etc. The boy at once told his story,
which was reduced to writing, and is
as follows:
In the spring, two years ago, ray
father and mother (maiden name Miss
Johnson) with her children, six sous,
myself included, named and aged as
follows: John McDaniel, aged 22;
Frank, aged 21; Charley, aged 19;
Samuel and William, twins, aged 10;
and myself, aged thirteen years;
with my sisters, Maud, aged 22,
and Sarah, aged 17, started from Ar
kade pliia, C ark county, Aikansas
my father was a keelboat owner at Ar
kadelpbia, and was in comfortable
circumstances when he started—with
two wagons, one a three-horse team
and the other a two horse team, with
household furniture, clothing ami pro
visions, to emigrate to Texas. \\ e
traveled by wagon through Washing
ton, Hempstead county, Aik., and by
way of Fulton, thence through Mc-
Kinney county, Texas. When within
five miles east of Jacksboro, Jack
county, Texas, I was walking ahead of
the wagons, when I called to father:
“Look at the Indians! Here they
come!” My father jumped trom the
said: “Right here vvib I
die 1”
My father and sister Sarah both
had two six-shooters each, and they
fought desperately. My father killed
four Indians aud wounded several
oihers. My sister Sarah wounded
seven Indians.
All were soon killed of my family.
They were all scalped, the wagons cut
-to pieces and burned up, the horses
stolen, and all the provisions, apparel,
plunder, etc., destroyed. At the com
mencement of the fil ing I was cut oft
from the train, aud 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 reach
ed their c rap in the Wichita moun
tains. I was then taken from the
horse and bound with a log chain to
a plum tree, in front of the chief’s
camp. I was kept tied to this tree
for one year; was Ud generally with
raw meat, and was at times forced to
eat the parts of entrals of the beef
and herses that were killed, and was
choked until I did eat.
After the arrest of Santauta and
Big Tree, I was released from the
chain, and was allowed to wander
around the camps, closely watched.
I stole a five dollar gold-piece from
the pocket-book of tbe chief, and
Imbed oue of his squaws, with that
money, to get. me an old hat, shirt
aud paints, and made my escape that
night. I have walked a’l the way
from the Wichita Mountains; been
one week and a half on the road;
have not had to eat until
this evening for four days.
The Camanches have five thousand
warrors with them, and have made
treaties with other tribes in this set
tlement. Where I was confined they
had about fifteen hundred families.
John William McDaniel.
Ilis general appearance, his famili
arity with the habits and conduct of
the Camanches, his knowledge of
their language, etc., would satis’v
any one that his story is correct. He
was cross-questioned by numerous
parties, and all pronounced his story
true. He is now in Sherman, Texas.
Denison ( Texas) N ws.
smart ci*y billiardist picked
up a countryman and induced him to
play a game of billiards —one hund
red points. The city boy took the
cue and ran the game out without a
sti p. The countryman cpiietly laid
down his cue and started for the door.
Said the billiardist, ‘ Here, comeback
and pay for this game.” “What
game?” said country. “Why, the
game we just played.” “We?# said
the countryman; “we? I haiut played
no billiards as I knows of. I guess
inisttr, see’ii as you played the game
alone, you’d better pay for it alone ! ’
Whereat the countryman walked out
and the smart city boy cogitated.
m A little boy in St. Cloud, si few
days a<ro, undertook to see if he could
lift him cif by hanging on a mule’s
tail, xie found out all abi ut, and the
doctors think the skin on his fore
head will eventually grow up, but will
' leave a bad 6car.
A Sailor’s Story.
Four years ago (writes an Ameri
can sailor) I left the port of Boston,
the master of a tine ship, bound for
China. I was worth ten thousand
dollars, and was the husband of a
young and handsome wife, whom I
had married but six months belore.
When I left her, I promised to return
to her in less tbau a twelvemonth. I
took alliny money with me saveenough
to support my wife in my absence, for
the purpose of trading when in China
on my own account. For a long time
we were favored with prosperous
winds; but when in the China seas a
teirible storm came upon us, so that
in a short time I saw the vessel must
be lost, for we were drifting on the
rocks of an unknown shore, I order
ed the men to provide each for him
self in thejjest possible manner, and
forget the ship, as it was an impossi
bility to save her. We struck—a sea
threw me upon the rocks senseless,
and the next would have carried me
back into a watery grave, had not one
of the sailors dragged me further up
the rocks. There were only four of
us alive, and when morning came, we
found that we were on a small unin
habited island, with nothing to eat
but the wild fruit common to that por
tion of the earth.
I will not distress yon bv an ac
count of our sufferirngs there; suffice
it to say that we remained sixty days
before we could make ourselves kuowu
to any ship. We were taken into
Canton, and there I had to beg; for
my money was at the bottom of the
sea, and I had not taken the precau
tion to have it insured. It was nearly
a year before I found a chance to
come home, and thou I, a Captain,
was obliged to ship as,a common sail
or. It was two years from the time
I left America that I landed in Bos
ton. I was walking iu a hurried man
ner up one of its streets, when I met
my brother-in-law. He could not
speak nor move, but he grasped my
liana, and the tears gushe l from his
eyes.
“Is my wife alive?” I asked. He
said nothing. Then I wished that I
had perisffed with my ship, fori tho’t
my wife was dead, but he very soon
said, “She is alive.’’ It was my turn
to cry for joy. He ciung to me and
said, “Your funeral sermon has been
preached, for we have thought you
dead for a long time.” He said that
my wife was living in our little cot
tage in the interior of the State. It
was then three o’clock in the after
noon, aud I took a train that would
carry me within twenty-five miles of
my wife. Upon leaving the cars, I
hired a boy, though it was night, to
drive me home.
It was about five o’clock in tbe
morning when that sweet little cot
tage of mine appeared in sight. It
was a warm moonlight night, aud I
remember how like heaven it looked
to me. I got out of tbe carriage and
went to the window of the room
where the servant girl slept., and gent
ly knocked. She opened the window
and asked “Who was there?” “Sa
rah do you not know me?” said I.
She screamed with fright, for she
thought me a ghost, but I told her to
unfasten the door, and let me in, for
I wished to see my wife. She let me
in and gave me a light, and I went up
stairs to my wife’s room. She lay
sleeping quietly. Upon her bosom
lav our child, whom I had never seen.
She was as beautiful as when I left
tier, but I could see a mournful ex
pression upon her face. Pm haps she
was dreaming of me. I gazed for a
long time; I did not make any uoise,
for I dare not wake her. At length
I imprinted a soft kiss upon the cheek
of my little child. While doing it, a
tear dropped from my eye and fell
upon her cheek. Her eyes opened as
clearly as though she had not been
s’ecping. 1 saw that she began to be
frightened, and I said, “Mary, it is
your husband !” and she clasped me
about my neck aud fainted. Hut I
cannot describe to you that scene.
She is now the happy wife of a poor
man. lam endeavoring to accumu
late a little property, and then I will
leave the sea forever.
A Word about Marriage. —A physi
cian writes the following sensible ad
vice: “My profession bus thrown me
among women of all classes, and my
experience teach me that Cod never
gave man a greater proof of bis love
than to place woman here with him.
My advice is,—Go, propose to the
most sensible girl yon know. If she
says yes, tell lur how much your in
come is—from what source dtrived
and tell her you will divide the last
dollar with her, and love her with all
your heart in the bargain; and then
keep your ptomse. My word fori*, she
null live within your income, and to
your last hour you will regret that
you did not marry sooner.

How to Make Mischief.
V~
Keep your eyes on your neighbors;
Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be
sure you never knew them to do any
thing very bad, but it might be on
your own account that they have not.
Perhaps if it had not been for your
own kind care, they might have dis
graced' themselves along time ago.
Therefore do not relax any effort to
keep them where they ought to be.
Never mind your own bussiuess, that
will take care of itself. There is a
man passing along, 1m is looking over
the fence—be suspicious of him; per
haps ho contemplates stealing, some
lark night; there is no knowing what
queer fancies he may have got into
his head.
If there are any symptoms of any
one passing out of the path of duty,
tell every one else that you see, and be
particular that you see a many.
It is a good way not to benefit your
self particularly. Do keep something
going, silence is a dreadful thing;
though it is said there was silence iu
Heaven for the space of half an hoar,
don’t let any such thing occur on
earth; it would be too much for this
mundane sphere.
If, after ail your watchful care, yoit
cannot see anything out of the iu
any one, you may be sure it is not be
cause they have not done anything
bad; perhaps iu an unguarded mo
ment you lost sight of them. Throw
out hints that they are not better
than they should be, that you should
not wonder if the people found out
who they were, after a while; then
they may not hold their heads so
high. Keep it going and someone
may take the bird, and help you
along; and there will be music, ana
everything will work to a charm.
Raising Cowr.
Mauy fail by taking too long a time
to grow a cow. We believe in keeping
young animals growing all the time.
With good care and plenty of food, it
is easy to have a heifer paying her
keeping at two years old as to wait
till she is :hree. We claim that noth
ing but a system of starvation and
neglect requires three years to bring
a calf to maturity. Tbe cost of car
rying a heifer through her third year
before calving, we contend,-is nearly
all thrown away. It is no small satis
faction for the owner of a heard of
milch cows to know that they are_all
acquainted, and are on good terms
with each other; that know no other
home, and are perfectly contented to
remain in it. We seldom see cattle
fighting or injuring each other which
have always been together. It is the
strange cow in the yard that sets them
all in a fuiy. If cows can never do
their best at the bail unless they are
quiet and conte .ted, what may be ex
pected of them where they are
changed about from one strange yard
to another? We have known instan
ces of two cows being brought togeth
er at home, —at home they were good
cows, hut in their new quarters they
were almost worthless from constant
fighting for the mastery. If you would
have quiet, peaceable and contented
stock, raise it yourself and handle it
daily from calfhood to maturity, —New
England Farmer.
Better Than Whiskey.
“Bill Arp” writes : Gentlemen,
there is one thin g about drinking. I
almost wish every man was a reformed
drunkard. No man who has ever
drank liquor knows what a luxury
cold water is. I have got up in the
night, after I had been spreeing
around, and gone to the pump burn
ing with thirst, feeling as if the gal
lows, and the grave and infernal re
gions were to good for me, and when
i took up the bucket in my hands,
with my eyebrows trembling like I
had the ague, and put the water to
my lips, it was the m6st delicious
draught that ever went dowu my
throat. I have stood there and drank,
until I could drink no more, and gone
hack to bed thanking God for the
pure and cooling beverage, and cur
sing from the utmost for ever
touching the whiskey. In my tor
ment of mind and body, I have made
von a and promises and broken them
in a day. But if you want to know
the luxury of cold water, get drunk
and keep at it until you are on fire,
and tbeu try the bucketful at the
pump in the night. You wont want
a gourd full—you'll feel like a bucket
full ain’t big enough, and when you
begin to drink an earthquake couldnt
stop you. I know men who will
swear to the truth oi what I say, but
you see it is a thing they don’t like to
talk about; it is too humiliating.
