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. $2.50 A YEAR 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.
