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. THE DEVIL-WORSHIPERS. ■ Strange Religion of the Wild Kurd3 Who Dwell in Mesopotamia. ■ Not far from Mosul in Mesopotamia there ■ ftr< a few Kurdish villages where one finds ■ ti’ iihcr mosque nor minaret, synagogue nor ■ nicilrash, church nor meeting house*. Mos ■ lema—saving an occasional government ■ oili ’.a]—arc rarely seen there, travelers not ■®* all. Ordinarily, saysa writer in St. James ■ Giueflc,there is nothing in the appearance of ■ these places or tho people to attract the at ■ tention of wayfarers,' apart from toe white ■ dresses of the women and the vests of the ■ ■nen.

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. LAWN TENNIS.
