infernal villain, you."
About two months after th*so rnffliftw
had disappeared, th# whole eouacty wii
startled by the nows that a largo CQ**pi»y
ot Kentuckians had beon robbeJLh.y a iiand
of robbers upoa the Nashville fmee. Short*
ly after, three gentlomen, a fstber and hi#
two sons, started fa> Kenttcky, and when
tdiey had got pretty well into the wilder
ness they, too, woro met and robbed of ev o
erything they had. This excitaj the eomo
munity to the highest pitch of-indignation.
They besought Gov. Claibourne to bring
the power ot tho Government to bear and
arrest the robbers, 110 accordingly offered
a large reward for them, dead or alive.
Great was the merriment made by Ma
son—that was the bandit’s name—and his
men when they read the Governor’s proc-*
lamation. They laughed at and ridiculed
it. Iluw long he could have defied the au
thorities no one knows, if there had not
been treachery in the band. The old ad
age that there is honor among thieves did
not hold good in this case. One night they
were sitting around their blaaing onsnp
fires. Thev had just made a successful
raid upon the settlements, and Mason was
distributing the booty. Little Harp crept
up behind him and buried a tomahawk in
his dead. Mason fell dead and his guilty
soul was ushered into the presence of his
Maker. The conspirators then chopped off
his head and brought it to Washington, the
seat of Government, and claimed the re
ward. When it was noised about that the
great robber, Mason, was killed, and that
liis head was in Washington for indentifi
cation, all the people in the settlement far
and near flocked to see it. there was no
mistaking those ghastly grim features, with
the terrible scar. The men who had done
the deed were hailed at first as public ben>
efactors, ter they had rid the world of a
monster.
Now, although the Governor had prom
ised a large reward, yet unfortunately when
he called for the money it was found that
the treasury was empty (this seems to beat
chronic complaint with my dear old State.)
Os course the captors of Mason J were de
layed in getting their pay. This led to the
detection of the conspirators, and it so hap
pened that the old gentleman and his two
sons, who had been robbed, were among
the number who came to. look at the rob»
ber’s head. The moment they laid their
eyes on Little llarp they exchanged glana
ces. The father slipped out, and iu a lit
tle while appeared with an officer. Rais
ing his voice and pointing his finger at Lit«
tie Harp, he said, “I charge you, sir, as be*
ing one of Mason’s band of rebbers." Little
Harp was seized, and his accomplice also.
This was almost as startling to the crowd as
was the sight of Mason’s head.
At that time there was a little town in Jef
ferson county, near the Ohabley’c fork of
Cole Creek, named Greenville, in honor of
Gen. Nathaniel Green. The original site
was bought from the estate of Odom, was
afterward added to form the estates of Abis
jah Hunt and Ferdinand Claiborne, and
following named men were its trustees :
D. W. Baazeale, H. Downs, A. Ellis, R.
Mcßay, and Robert Cox.
This little town, which has since passed
into the “things that were," was then the
country seat; thither Little Harp was con°
veyed, and was regularly tried and convics
ted. lie was hung, and the band ot Ma
son being deprived of its leader and its some
skillful lieutenant, dispersed, and was nev
er afterward heard ot.
All of you have, no doubt, heard of Robt
in Ilood, of Sherwood Forrest, but I doubt
whether many of you ever heard hefor- of
this Knight ot the "Cave in the Rock."—
This bold, bad mao had once held high car
nival in a hollow cave that lies in the bank
of the Ohio river.
The only approach to it was by boats.—
In this cave Mason and his men, in that
then sparsely settled region, could hold at
bay any officers of the law that could be
sent against them. As population increas
ed around him, his situation became more
precarious, and he fied with his band to
the South. Here he hovers on the borders
of the Indian nation, and would attack
wherever booty was to be found. Power
erful in frame, always on the alert, he
swept from one of the Territories to the oth->
er with amazing rapidity. If his compans
ions had not proved treacherous in all prob
ability he could have bid a haughty defi
ance to our Government for a long time,
but by a law of Providence the wicked are
often turned to destruction by the vipers
they nourish.
Tl>o story of “Little Harp" has already
be6n written in a little book called “Hall’s
Legends of the West." It seerm that there
were two brothfcr.s of that name who we're
the most daring that evturuifested
-Kentucky. They Were called, bylway of
distinction Big Harp and Little Iftrp, on
account of tho difference in their size.—
The people of Kentucky had become ex
asperated at their outrages, and determined
to hunt them to the death. The pursuit
was carried on with the patience of the slot
hound, until at last they were overtakin.
Big Harp was pursued by a gigardyc Ken
tuckia i; they had a running fight for hours
on horseback, until at last Harp’s horse
fell; then came a hand-to-hand fight. It
wajia struggle between these
two vYestern giants, but at last Jlarp fell
mortally wounded. He died, his head was
severed from his body, and was stuck on
a pole in the cross-roads in Kentucky, and
the spot was for a long time called the
“Harp’s Head." While the bigger broths
6r was being thus hotly pursued, the little
Harp escaped and came down and joined
Mason’s band.

That cheer but not inebriate wait o» each,’'
would correspond very well to a calda>par
ty of Roman ladies nineteen centuries ago.
Several calda-urns of bronze have been
found at Pompeii. The principal meal
(culled coma) vrovi pniaa about 1 o^oloat,
and lasted several hours. People, like the
elder Pliny, wlo dined only three hours,
were considered remarkably frugal and
time saving. In Pompeii there are numer
ous paintings of feasts, which give consido
erable information as the bill of fare. In
the centre of the table, for example, is a
large dish containing four peacocks, so ar
ranged as to form a stately dome with their
tails; here and there are lobsters, each
holding something in their claws ; one has
a blue egg, another an oyster, a third a
stuffed rat, a fourth has a lit le basket of
grasshoppers, or some similar appetizing
delicacy. There are also four plates of
fish, several phesants, hares and squrrels,
each holding its head between its paws ;
besides peaches, melons, and other fruits,
a variety of vegetables, fantastic forms of
pastry, and different kinds wine. In order
to equip the table as magnificently as pos
sible, many articles wore provided, not be»
cause they were agreeable to the palate,
but because they added to the splendor and
costliness of the banquett. Dishe3, too,
which would excite in us the most intense
disgust were held in high esteem. A man
is represented as drinking from a cow’s
horn, pierced at the smaller end so as to
allow a thin stream of wine to flow into the
mouth as he holds it up at arm’s length—a
method of imbibing still practiced by the
common people of Southern Italy. Other
cups were fashioned, by tho whimsical ffin
cy of the potter, into the head of a pig, a
ram, a stag, or some other animal; many
of them are of cheap material (clay,) but
all show by their excellent workmanship
that they were made by good artists. One
advantage of such a drinking vessel, in the
eyes of a veteran tippler, would be, that
owing to its peculiar shape, it could not
stand upright, and when once filled, must
he emptied hefbfe it could b® s®fc down
again upon the table. Among the Greeks,
it was not customary to invite women to
diuncr parties, although the Sybarites did
so, and according to Plutarch, used to send
the invitations a year beforehand, in order
to give the ladies ample time to dress for
the occasion. But among the Romans wo®
men were n'd only admitted to banquets,
as is evident from several Pompeiian paint
ings, but, if we may believe what content
porary poets say of them, were also espec
ially pruud of their drinking; and Shaks
peare is true to Roman customs when he
makes Cleopatra boast of such triumphs
over Antony :
“Ere the ninth hour I drank him to his
bed ;
Then put my tires and mantle on him
Whilst I wore his sword Phillipan."
THE SMARTEST GIRL IN MICHIGAN
At Port Oneida, on lake Michigan,
lives, it is said, “the smartest girl in
Michigan.” She is a German, about
seventeen years old, and the oldest
of a family of an even dozen, living
in a little double log cabin on the
shore of the lake. She delights in
out-door life and employment, espec
ially boating and fishing, and for the
last three years has been “master ’ of
a handsome fishing craft and a set of
gill nets. She puts them out early in
April, and continues them till late in
the Fall. She is out every morning
at daylight, and again in tho evening,
except in the roughest weather.—
She takes a younger sister along to
help set and draw nets. She often
brings in a couple of hundred fine
lake trout and whitetish at a haul.—
She dresses thcra, dries oat the oil,
packs and sends them away to mar>
ket. Her August and September
catch amounted to over S3OO. Be
sides her fiishing receipts, she has
taken in over $l7O this season for
berries, picked at odd hours by her.
self and sister. All money goes to
father. Month after month he packs
it away in old sacks and stockings
under his bed; night after night he
guards it with sabre and pistol. •In
all, she is said to have earned him
over $3,000. Os course the old
man is proud of his girl, and tells of
her exploits with the livliest twinkle
of satisfactian. Danger and hard
ships seem unknownjto her. She will
go out in any blow, and come in with
full sails, IJcr white must and blue

OBITUARY.
ROBERT JAMES WALKER.
Hon. Robert J. Walker died at liis
residence, in Washington City, this
'inorningk the 11th instant, at twenty
‘mintftesDMbre eleven o’clock, after a
protracted illness. His age was 68

He was graduated at the University
of Pennsylvania in 1819, commenced
#W*practice of law in Pittsburg in
1821, and became prominent there by
putting the name of Gen. Jackson in
nomination for the Presidency before
it had been suggested in any other
quarter. In 1826 he removed to
*Natchez, Miss., where he soon ac
quired a lucrative practice. He ac
quired a lucrative practice. lie de
feated the celebrated Hen. George
Poindexter for the United Senate in
1835. A debate with Henry Clay,
soon afte;r he took his seat, brought
him into general notice. He was
largely instrumental in bringing about
the acquisition of Texas and Califor>
nia. He was a strong and trusty ad**
viser of John Tyler during that gen
tleman’s administration, and brought
about the nomination of Polk in op
position to Van Buren, because the
latter opposed the annexation of Tex
as. Mr. Walker was Secretary of
the Treasury under Mr. Polk. He
then made a report in favor of free
trade, which was reprinted by the
Rrihsb pfourc*-' of Pmomnns. TTft tp—

must be eminently satisfactory to him.
