KENTUCKY PIONEBB LIFE.
Interesting Incidents of Early Days in
the “Dark end Bloody Ground.'’
From Harper's M< yaztne fvr June.
Tlie dangers which iioone and his com
panions i the fields came to
the very do ore Of thati cabins, and con
stantly menadHtheh- BunUies. Indiatts
iurked singly orln par ties to seise a prisoner
or take a scalp whenever an incautious
-white should give the opportunity. Frpquetft
combats (ana each combat ended, as a rule,
in the death of one or both of those on
engaged) had habituated the men to danger.
It was later thatfthey felt the danger of their
wives and children, ...
Late on a Sunday afternoon in July, 1776,
ithrec young girls veutproi from the enclos
ure of Boonesborougn to amuse them
selves with a caiwe upon -the river that
flowed by the fort. Insensibly they drifted
twith the lazy current, and before they were
aware of their danger were seized by five
warriors. . Their resistance was useless,
{though they wielded the paddles with des
peration. Their canoe was drawn ashore,
tod they were hurried off in rapid retreat
tow ard the Shawnee towns in Ohio. Their
Bcreams were heard at the fort, and the
, cause well guessed. Two of the girls wore
Betsey and Frances, daughter of Col. Rich
ard Callaway, the other was Jemima,
daughter of Boone. The fathers were ab
leentt but soon returned to hear the evil
[news and arrange the pursuit. Callaway
(assembled a mounted party, and was away
through the woods to head off the Indians, u
[possible, before they might reach and cross
toe Ohio, or before the fatigue of their rapid
march should so overcome the poor girls as
to cause their captors to tomahawk them,
and so disencumber their flight.
■ .TV/ O
I Boone started directly on the trail
■ through the thickets and canebrakes. His j
■jmle was never to ride if he could possibly
■walk. All his journeys and hunts, escapes
■ and pursuits, were on foot. His little party
■ numbered eight, and the anxiety of a
■father’s heart qulcked its leader, and found
Ia ready response in the breasts of tines
■young men, the lovers of the girls.
■ Betsey Callaway, the oldest of the girls,
■ marked the trail, as the Indians hurried,
■them along, by breaking twigs and bending'
■ bushes, and when threatened with the tom
■ ahawk if she persisted, tore small bits from
■ her dress, and dropped them to guide tho
■.pursuers. Where the ground was soft
■ enough to receive an impression, they
■ would press a footprint. The flight was in
■ the best Indian method; the Indians
■ marched some yards apart through the
■ bushes and cane, compelling their cap
■ tives to do the same. When a creek was
■ crossed they waded in its water to a distant
■point, where the march would Ire re
■eumod. By all the caution and skill of their
■training tho Indians endeavored to obscure
■the trail and perplex the pursuers.
■ The nightfall of the fist day stopped the
■pursuit of Boone before he had gone tar; but
■he had fixed the direction the Indians were
■taking, and at early dawn was following
■them. The chase was continued with all the
■speed that could be made for thirty miles.
■Again darkness conipelled a halt, and again
Hat crack of day on Tuesday the pursuit was
■renewed. It was not long before a light
■film of smoke that rose in the distance
where the Indians were cooking a
■breakfast of buffalo meat. The pursuers
■cautiously approached, fearing lest the In-
Hdians might slay their captives and escape.
■Col. John Floyd, who was one of the party
■ (himself afterward killed by Indians), thus
■described the attack and the rescue, in a
■letter written the next Sunday to the Lieu
■teuant of Fincastle, Col. William Preston:
|H “Our study had been how to get the pris
■onei-s without giving the Indians time to
■murder them alter they discovered us. Four
B*>f us fired, and all of us rushed on them;
which they' were prevented from carry-
Hlug anything away except, one shotgun
■without ammunition. Col. Boone and my
had each a pretty fair shot and they be
■itn to move off. I am well convinced I
one through the body. The one he
dropped his gun; mine had none. The
■place was covered with thick cane, and be-
Hing so much elated ou recovering the three
■poor little heart-broken girls, we were pre
■vented from making any further search.
■We sent the Indians off almost naked, some
■ without their moccasins, and none of them
■ with so much as a knife or tomahawk. After
■tin-girls came to themselves sufficiently to
■ speak, they told us there were five Indians,
■ four Shawanese and one Cherokee; they
■could speak good English, and said they
■should go to the Shawanese towns. The
■ war-club we got was like those 1 have seen
■of that nation, and several words of their
■ languages, which the girls retained, were
■ blown to be Shawanese.”
■ The return with the rescued girls was the
■ occasion for great rejoicing. To crown their
■ satisfaction, tho young lovers had proved
■ ttn-ir prowess, and under the eye of the
■greatest of all woodsmen had shown their
■ skill and courage. They had fairly won the
■ pits they loved. Two weeks later a general
■ summons went throughout the little settle-.
■ ments to attend the first wedding ever sol
■ emuized on Kentucky soil. Hamuel Hen
■ a i-m and Betsey Callaway were married
■in the presence of an approved company
■ that celebrated the event with dancing anil
■feasting. Tho formal license from tho
■ county court was not waited for, as the
■ court house of Fincastle, of which county
■ Kentucky was part, was distant more than
■ 606 miles. The ceremony consisted of the
■ contract with witnesses, and religious vows
■ administered by Boone’s brother, who was
■an occasional preacher of the persuasion
■ popularly known as Hardshell Baptists.
■ Lances Callaway became within a year the
■ wile of the gnllunt Capt. John Holder, after
■w ml greatly distinguished in the pioneer
■ annals; and Boone’s daughter married the
■ sou of his friend Callaway.

Tha Blue Hen’s Chickens.
Prom the Arkansaw Traveler.
“WaU, fttr mercy’s sake, look tliar, pap,”
said a woman, dressed in faded calico and
Thaculfellow stopped and the woman
pointed at a lot of colored eggs which had
boen left over from Easter, and which the
Socer had temptingly arranged in front of
? store. qM
“Look tharythe teaman repeated, point
ing at the eggs.
“TheyareS new wrinkle on my ho’n,”
said the old fellow', taking up one of the
eggs and examining it. ‘ f These here,” he
added, addressing the grocer who an-
Eroaclied, “muster bean laid by one uv the
lue hen’s chickens.”,
“They aro direct descendants from tho old
blue hen sure enough" the grocer replied,
who showed an accommodating woakness to
tell a lie, either through courtesy or with an
eye to business.
“You don’t say so.”
“Yes, sir, and I bought them for Mr.
Garland, who sent me word some time ago
to tot him a few if I possibly could.”
“Wall, Gus ought to know what good
chickens air.”
“He undoubtedly does.”
“Wall, I’ve heard about the old blue hen’s
chickens all my life, but this is the fust time
I ever seed any uv the aigs.”
“They are not very plentiful now,” said
tho grocer. “In fact, they are bought up
by the agents of monopolies and sent North
for the use of rich railroad men.”
“The chickens, I reckon, lay over the
common run of fowls.”
“As much, sir, as day lays over night.”
“What special advantage have they got?”
“Well, they lay three times a day, for one
thing.”
“Now. look here, you don’t mean that.”
“I reckon he do, pap,” the woman de
clared. “I know in reason that he do, fur
Aunt Caroline Welsh that had some in
Noth Kliny, told me jest befo’ she died that
they wuz the outlayenist things she ever
seed, an’ says she:
“ ‘Everline, Ido b’lieve that the aigs is
fresher than the aigs uv these here common
chickens.’ ”
“She was right,” said the grocer. “Mr.
Garland tells me that the eggs will keep for
years without spoiling, but,” he added,
laughingly, “if he don’t mind he will find
that they don’t keep so well after all, for if
he doesn’t come at ter them pretty soon I’ll sell
them. A business man can’t afford to let
his money lie idle, you know.”
“That’s a fact,” toe farmer replied.
“Now, whut mout they be wuth?”
“Well, I hardly know. Where do you
liver’
“On Saline river, about two days’ ride
from here.”
“Do you come to town very often?”
“Fust time I wuz ever here.”
“I thought that if you came to town very
often I might engage you to bring me a lot
of the chickens when they hatch. Tell you
' what I’ll do. I’ll let you have all six of them
foi* (iOc." *
“Ain’t that a putty heavy price?”
“Oh, no, pap,” said the woman. “Jest
think uv chickens that lay aigs—fresh ones
at that —three times a day.”
“All right,” said the old fellow, hauling
out the toe of an old sock and shaking a few
dimes from it; “I’ll take ’em. Shore they’ll
hatch?”
“Hatch! Why you can cover them up
with an old straw hat and they’ll hatch.
Much oblige. Well, eall again.”
When the grocer went back into the
store, he slapped himself, laughed uproari
ously and then said:
“It may be wrong to cheat this way, but
I don’t believe that we are called npon to
have sympathy for such ignorant people;
and, besides, honest old farmer as he looks,
he’d cheat me in a minute if he could*’’
Several weeks later an old fellow drove
up to a grocery store and asked a man who
came out to the curbstone if he wanted to
buy any guinea chickens.
“Fresh as they ken be an’ already cleaned,”
said tho old fellow.
“What do you ask for them?”
“Well, I don’t know what thevair wuth.
You see the air mighty big ones,”
“Yes, I see. How many have you got?”
“Fifteen."
“There is not much sale for guineas.”
“They oughter be wuth 10c. a piece,
oughtent they?’
The grocer, with shrewd hesitancy, re
plied:
“I don’t know. Well, drive round to the
back door and put them out.”
Immediately after receiving his money
the old fellow'droye down town, and, with a
woman who seenit-d to be his wife, was
standing on a street corner, when the
grocer who had bought the guineas rushed
up and exclaimed:
“You are a lying old wolf, that’s what you
are!”
“Whut’s the matter?”
“You sold me a lot of buzzards, you old
wretch, and I’m going to have you arrested
if you don’t give me back my money. One
of my best customers bought one and then,
discovering what it was, struck me over the
head with it and then left tho store.”
“Why, pap, that was too bad, wasn’t it?”
said the woman.
“I recognize you, now,” said the grocer,
stepping back.
“You,” said tho old fellow, “an’—but
don’t be in a hurry. “Didn’t know the blue
hen’s chickens when you seed ’em, eh? W’y,
I thought you know’d all about the breed.
Say, whenever you want more, jest let me
know. They lay three times a day, you
know, but I’m sorry that the chickens
ain’t as fresh as the aigs. When you come
out my way, drap in to see me.”
Mrs. Benedict’s Rat Trap.
From the Salem News.
She was engaged, it appeal's, in the do
mestic manufacture of plaster casts of
various kinds. One of her devices was to
mix wheaton flour with her pulverized
plaster of Paris, so that the gluten of the
flour might make the paste loss brittle. Ore
evening she had visitors who rang the bell
just as she was sifting the mixed plant er and
flour for tlie third time by way of mixing
them intimately, as the chemist says. She
had already sot a dish of water at band, in
tending to make ail experimental cast at
once, and when the door bell rang she
hastily removed her apron and went to
welcome her guests, leaving her materials
upon the kitch-n tabic. Her guests stayed
until bedtime, and when they biuto her adieu
Mrs. Benedict went to bed without return
ing to the kitchen.
What happened in the night was this: A
rat made hts way up the legs of the table to
the top, where he was speedily joined by
others. Tho dish of flour and plaster was
easily reached, and the, rats ate freely and
hastily of it, ns it is their custom to do. It
was rather a dry supper, and water being
near each rat turned to drink. The water
drunk first wet the plaster in the rats’
stomachs, and then, in technical phrase,
“apt” it; that is to say, the nla-ter thus mode
into paste instantly grew hard in each rat s
stomach, and put an end to any exercise of
that organ. The nits decided Mr. Mallock s
question, “Is life worth living?”in the nega
tive, without quitting the table. The next
morning thirteen of them lay dead in a
circle around tho water dish.
Tho Universiir of Georgia has conferred
the degree of Doctor of Laws on Mr. F. H.
Underwood, United (States Consul at that
port. The Boston Poet says that the stu
dents gave him the warmest cheering of
the day, and that while the applause was
still going on someone shouted, “Three
cheers for the stars and stripes.”
THE NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 21. 1887.
JOHN BROWN’S RAIDERS.
One of Them Says the Slavery Fanatic
Was Too Impatient.
From the Pittsburg Post.
Rather a strange but interesting story is
narrated by Daniel Clifford, a colored citi
zen of this place. Clifford, who is now
lying sick and does not expect to recover,
made tho following statement to his physi
cian a few days ago:
“ When I was released from the Western
■penitentiary in the spring of 1858 t went to
Canada and enlisted in a company then being
organized by John Brown. After our little
band was organized we proceeded to Mis
souri, where Brown’s son was killed in an
attempt to rescuo oertain slaves who had
been sold and were to be taken to Texas.
In this conflict several of the slave
owners were also killed. After this
we again returned to Canada, where
we remained during the winter. In the
meantime Brown was actively engaged in
reorganizing our company and increasing
our numbers. In the spring Brown returned
to tho United States and left Richard Realf
and myself in charge of our organiza
tion >n Canada. By September, 185 ft, our
company in Canada numbemi about seven
ty-five well equipped men, and we ware pre
pared to make our way in squads of ten
through Pennsylvania into Virginia to meet
Brown and his little array. Brown was to
let us know when and where we should
meet him, and was to have everything ar
ranged for our attack upon Harper’s Fern,-.
The plan was that the negroes were, at the
proper time, to rise up and come to our
assistance. The inhabitants were to be
made prisoners, who were to be exchanged
for slaves, and as the arsenal contained
about 100,000 stand of arms, we could have
equipped enough negroes to have killed
every slave owner in Virginia before the
United States troops could have been ready
to move, >
“We were preparing to start for Virginia
by Oct. 1, but on account of some difficul
ties we were delayed. Brown was a very
passionate, hobheaded man, and as we were
to meet hnn by Oct. 20, but did not, I pre
sume he thought that if the negroes in the
neighborhood would come to his assistance
he could take and hold the arsenal until we
arrived. When the raid proved a failure,
and there was no rising of the negroes, and
Brown was captured, our organization dis
banded for want of a leader, but had
Brown been prudent enough to have waited
until our arrival there is not the slightest
doubt that our scheme would have been a
success.”
Clifford is aboutCO years of age, tall, erect
and almost white. In 1853 he and several
other negroes were tried and convicted in
this county for the murder of Lily Zimmer
man. Clifford, with the rest, was sen
tenced to five years’ imprisonment. Al
though his story is not believed by many,
yet there are many things that go to cor
roborate it. His description of Brown and
many things that occurred while he was in
the West, are accurately told, and the bold
and reckless character as well as the chek
ered life of Clifford go far toward corrobo
rating his story.
The immigration to California the past year
is reported in round numbers at 100,000 people,
mostly in Southern California. The central and
northern sections have been a little slow in ad
vertising their climate and fertile valleys, and
the result is they have got left pretty badly in
the race. They are just beginning to learn how
it is done. The money spent in advertising
Southern California has netted the entire sec
tion 1,000 per cent.
