JEFFERSON DAVIS AND HIS WIFE Uttcle George Green’s Story of How Young Lieutenant Won His Bride. From the Chicot]- Tribune. When the Jesuit missionaries carried the little Itoats across th . divide at Portage at floated them again on the clear water of tl Wisconsin river, they had for their aim ti establishment of new missions in the vallt of the Mississippi. Father Hennepin foun no place on the upper Mississippi so advat tageous for th. founding of a mission tt where the Wisconsin river flows into tht Mississippi, and there, with the aid of tie friendly Wiunebagoes. he established a plac/ of worship. In 182t> Fort Crawford was os tahlished at this point by the GovenimeiP and Col. Zachary Taylor was placed moor inand. The ruins of Fort Crawford a 1 situated on a rise of ground just south! Prairie tin Cbien. There are vet a few n't in 'Wisconsin who remember President 13 - lor and liis garrison at the fort, ns wpias the pompous Jeff Davis, then a young oper in subordinate cohinmml. Uncle Ore > as he is known here, is one of the few iff 1 of that sort left. He said to-day: “I am sorry that the old flagstaff lt the fort has been cut down. That seeir*f to be the only thing that never change, for it stood there just the same as it used 0 when young Jeff Davis pulled the tars and Stripes to its very top, anil -food and watched the flag as the wind wafiht in its folds. But that was many ye. s a g°, and there have been many changes Did! know Jeff Davis t Well, I should >'vays rather (. ’;k of hint as I knew hint *on. He was a dashing young officer, ino'jod to he over bearing in his ways, never signing to look at those he thought beneat him in social position or rank* He was a gallant lover, and it w as no wondr that the beauti ful daughter of Col. Taylor fell in love with him here. S was a romantic young creature, as 1 renimbor her, and was the one bright and refiuig influence thrown around the rough eaip life. o,_yes. she worshipped young Day*. But her father, grim old warrior that e was, could not tol erate Jeff Davis, and <Jien he saw that his daughter was CDntinßlly unhappy unless in the company of th young officer, he de termined on separathg them, and accord ingly sent his dauyter to a convent in Baton Rouge. His dislike of Davis grew into a perfect hat in, and much unpleasant ness was the result. “In a few days aier the departure of the daughter Davis printed him with a docu ment which requirt his signature. It was an order from Gen. Wayne granting a fur lough to Davis. Tp wary old Cologel saw through the ruse ira moment, and at first refused to sign theirdar, but oould not well persist in this insukrdination or he would be guilty of contend. The order had come from his superior oleer, and he must sign it, and, with a black sowl on his face, he af fixed his signature 5 the official document. Jeff was now free Ir thirty days and he lost no time i hastening to Baton Rouge to join his weetheart. Col. Taylor was a man of grat determination, as he afterward showed in the Mexican war and in the Presidentia chair He dispatched his swiftest ntessengrs to bring his daughter home by a eircuitois route, and thus thwart the young officer wio was hurrying to meet her. The girl wa brought back to the parental roof, and, after spending a greater part of his furlong! in St. Louis, Davis re turned to Fort Crawford. Old Col. Taylor could fight the Irians, and would rather have met a whde tribe that contend with the domestic troubles that now assailed him. He had bait a log house just out side the stock ide, and here his fail daughter strained her beautiful eyes as she watched the surface of the river for the coming of her lover. After the return of Davis to Tort Crawford the coldness which hitherO existed between him and Col Taylor gtiw more frigid. The young woman pined avay in the seclusion of the log hut, and the young officer bided the time when he miglt take his intended from her father’s roof stealthily and in the night. The father totlw the character of the man he had to <feil with, and watched bis daughter closely Now, it has been dis puted that Jeff Dans took this young wo man from her tatb-r’s house in the night, but I ant ready totell what I know- and stand by it. “You see it hajpened this way: My name is George Green, and I am 80 years old if I live until next November. It was about 1834, or neat- thet time, when I, with a num ber of others, writ up the Mississippi river on a steamer tJ visit the Falls of St. An thony. We hft the steamer where St. Paul now is, <nd went over to the falls, re maining so lng that when we returned the boat xvasgoie. Nothing remained for us to do, but to buy a largo canoe from the In dians, which we did, and floated down the river to Fcrt Crawford. At that time there was a slough separating the few houses which constituted the village from the trading post and the fort on the bunk of the river. I thought I might make some money by using the canoe as a ferryboat across this slough, and bought out the interest of my partners. I accordingly established my ferry, and Jeff Davis was one of my patrons. I did not like his pompous ways, for when he paid his passage he always threw the money into my hand as though tie was throwing money to a beggar. One day he came to me and asked me it' I could safely row two persons across the river, and I re plied that I could. Shortly .after he came again and seemed to lie somewhat excited as lie asked me to he on hand that, evening with my oanoe. He was more gracious in his manner and gave me some money as a guar antee of good faith. I did not know then that 1 was to lie a frtv to an elopement, or I might have objected to doing a wrong against Col. Taylor, for whom I had the highest regard. It came about, however, that I was at the slough after the sun went down, and waited patiently for the young officer. “I had waited some hours when I beard footsteps, and turning, I saw Jeff Davis and Col. Taylor’s daughter hurrying toward me. Not a word was spoken as he lifted her tenderly to a seat in the canoe, and I followed, taking up my paddle. We went down the slough to where it joined the river. Tho young woman began to cry softly as we swept into the stream, and Jeff drew her head over on his shoulder as he spoke to her in a soothing voice. Across tiio river we drifted, and the sound of my Paddle could not be heard a furlong away. Not a loud word was spoken in that silent voyage, and I was at a loss to understand the whole affair. We kept on across the river, and every few moments 1 took occasion to glance around to see how my passengers were getting along. The girl hail cessed her crying, and by the way she rested her head on the bosom of the 3'oung Lieutenant, I somehow became con vinced that she was not altogether unhappy. We landed on the opposite shore below the island, and 1 waited with some interest to what would happon next. Presently I saw three men emerge from the thick under brush some distance from the river bank, and Jeff Davis put, some money in my haml and told me to return. 1 learned afterward that one of these three men who came up on the river bonk was a priest, but I never found out who the others were, and neither did I ascertain the name of tho priest. Before I had reached the place in llio slough where I inooi-ed my canoe I heard the noise of n river steamer coining down from St. Paul. Bho halted lielow tho island in the middle of the stream, for 1 distinctly heard the engines reverse ana knew that, Jeff Davis mid Ins bride were about, to puss down the Missis sippi to theHouCh. The next day 1 watched closely for a glimpse of Col. Taylor, hut the old soldier Was too circumspect in his actions to betray auv anxiety. I was informed that, Davis took the young woman from an Upper window in the log cabin, and with the assistance of the chaplain was enabled to get, her beyond the picket linen unobserved, there was no doubt that the chaplain was on the other side of the river to witness the marriage, and that he conveyed to Col. Taylor the news of the elopement. “I was away from Fort Crawford for some Uiuo after this ephkvie, and heard no more about it It is, however, a matter of history that Col. Taylor was never wholly reconciled to the marriage. It is state.! that after the battle of Buena Vista, Taylor visited Jefferson Davis as he lay wounded in his tent, and extended his hand to him, al though there was no further reconciliation. Davis had undoubtedly won the battle with the Mississippi Rifles, and Taylor could not fail to recognize such gallantry. Time and time again! have heard this story of mine calle l falsehood, but it is and I am ready to stand by it.” (SIEGE OF CONNOR’S CASTLE. Nr. Connor Finally Gets to His Wife by Means of a Tight-Rope. From the yew York World. Boston, Sept. 11.—Mrs. Connor and her five children, who have been besieged in their Mount Vernon street home by the five evietors who are watching night and day to put them out, scored a point to-day by get li ng her husband into the house. It is two weeks to-day since the constables surrounded the house and Mrs. Connor locked the doors mi them. In all that time neither she nor the children have stirred out of their rooms, and Mr. Connor, who was unfortunately out when the (-victors arrived, had not got nearer to his family than the sidewalk. Mr. Connor had been cudgelling his brains to think up some way to get to ins family and yet avoid the watchful constables. He went into the back room of the family next door and tightened up the clothesline that inns out to a post in the yard. Mrs. Connor reached out of her back window'and did the same with her clothesline. The faithful husband then borrowed an ironing board and laid it ujxui the two clotheslines and cautiously crawled on his belly to the win dow of his own room, where his delighted wife threw her arms about him and pulled him into the house. The children danced up and down in delight, and the constable in the hall pounded on the door to try and allay their happiness While Mr. Connor was at the front window smiling at the dis concerted aviators and holding converse with his neighbors gathered uixmt, a tlre mau from Engine 10 passed along and sug gested that a ladder would be a good means of exit and entrance. Being a friend of the imprisoned man, he said that if Connor would come along to the engine house he thought he could scare up a ladder that would fix him up. The idea struck Connor as excellent, and he crawled across the iron ing-board, and in half an hour was back to the bouse with the ladder. Mrs. Connor opened the front, window and her husband was with her once more, and the ladder was pulled up after him. During the forenoon the water supply, which has been turned off, became exhaust ed, and the children’s faces began to show the shortage in this direction. It suddenly occurred to Mr. Connor that he might make connection with his neighbor’s water pipe by means of a rubber hose. The ladder was carefully adjusted once more, and after a visit to the engine house he trudged back with a coil of pipe under his arm. The water supply is now abundant. CAUSED BY A CHILD’S REMARK. The reason for the trouble which is caus ing such crowds on Mount Vernon avenue and so much inconvenience to the Connor family is a small family row. Mr. Connor has lived in his present apartments for twenty years, and has become greatly at tached to tho house. He rented the whole place, lived on the second floor and sub-let the first floor to a family named Lane. Some time ago Lane’s little girls said to Connor’s little girl: •’We’re going to Ireland this winter. Why don’t you and your family go some where, too?” Now it happened that Lane owed the Connors two months’ rent and showed no disposition to pay up, and the Connor girl knew it. She replied: “If my family owed two months’ rent and only lived in three rooms I think I wpuld rather stay at home.” This unpleasant remark reached Lane’s ears and a coolness resulted between the two families. Lane thought it would tie very pleasant to be landlord himself and hold t he whip over the Connors. He went to the owner of the house and offered SIOO more for the lease of the house and got it in his name. Armed with this lease Lane returned and notified Connor to get out. Connor could not hear to leax'e the old home and he refused. Lane went to his lawyer and was told to get some constables and put the ob jectionable family out. This he aid, hut the Connor little girl happened to see the would be evietors crawling into the house through the coal chute. She ran up stairs and bolted the door. The evietors then began a council of war, and the head man said he had been authorized by the new tenant, Mr. Lane, to remove the goods .of the Connor family without delay. He advised unconditional surrender, promising not to be hard on the victims. He even promised to let the whole affair rest until after dinner. This sugges tion, however, was ignored by Mrs. Connor. In fact, she declined all negotiations. Then a picket line was thrown out around the bouse, and good care was taken that if the attacking party did not get in it should be equally certain that the besieged did not get out. Night came on, and the crowd of specta tors dispersed. The besiegers prepared to camp on tho pavement unless they wore successful. Since then it has been a dull monotony for the plucky Mrs. Connor. She and her family of live children, which in cludes a ti- weeks-old baby, have spent most of the time looking out of tho window and watching the crowd that idled about. She knew that so long as the door was locked she was safe. TAKING IN PROVISIONS. In tlie last two weeks the staple articles of diet have been getting low, and early this morning, liefore the locked-out husband put in an appearance, she laid in a goodly store of provision. The oil can was lowered and filled by a neighbor, who also hung on a piece of ice to the rope. Then a basket was let down and a steak and mutton-chop put in it, with a beef-bone lor soup. While this load was making its aseent one of the neighbors’ boys amused himself and occupied the Connor children at the other window by tossing up carrots, beets, tur nips and potatoes. The rope came down once more and fished up a quart of milk, and then a pound of butter made a safe journey. The basket was tied to the rope and sugar, flour and a package of tea were carefully drawn up and stowed away. The evietors stood around and helped tie the things on and seemed to enjoy the fun. They are getting $8 a day, and the longer the siege lasts the better it is for them. When Mr. Connor finally arrived and made his appearance in the houseovertho ironing board no was surprised at the store that had boen laid in. He decided to remain in the house and dispense with the rope elevator and take the things up in future over the ladder. The Baby Beaver’s Dam. From the Lewiston Journal. “I know of a naturalist down in Eastern Maine,” said a well-known Maine college professor, yesterday, who wouldn’t be con vinced that beavers could build dams till he saw it done with his own eyes. He is an awful incredulous fellow any way. I bought a baby beaver of a hunter who tra|is them, one day, and scut him to my sceptical friend, lie grew greatly attached to the little fel low and kept, him in the house, but he often wrote me that his leaver didn’t show any projienslty at all for dam building. One Monday, washing day, his wife sat. a leaky pail lull of water on the kitchen floor. Tho beaver was in the kitchen, he was only n baby then, too, and lie saw the water oozing out of a crack iti tho nail. He scampered out into the yard, and brought in a chip and begun building hia dam. Tho natural ist was summoned. He watched the little fellow, thunderstruck. Huid he, ‘Leave that itail there, wife, till doomsday, if need lie, and let’s see what the little fellow will do!’ The heaver kept at it four weeks, until he had built a solid dam clean around the pail. My naturalist friend I* quite a Is-e ver man to-dY. 1 hey aay, you know, that way dowu East there is a heaver dam that $20(1,001) couldn't build the like of it. Oh! men don’t know everything The wasp knew bow to make papor before we (La. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1887. FRIGHTFUL EXECUTION. The Awful Death of tho Ling-Chi De scribed by an Eye-Witness. Canton Letter Sew York Truth. China has always been famed for its tor tures, of which the pulling out of nails, tieating on the face with a stiff piece of leather till the features are indistinguish able, suspending by the thumbs and toes, or starving to death in a cage, are among the mildest. Many, of course, are quite unfit for public description, and the “Ling Chi” is possibly not the least abominable and re volting. It is, moreover, only inflicted in very heinous cases, such as the murder of a blood relation. The condemned man in this instance poisoned his sister. The execution was fixed to take place at 10 o’clock, and by 0:80 we had arrived at the scene of action—a sort of narrow lane, about, eighty yards long, formed by two rows of pottery sheds, mid terminating at one end by a pair of massive wooden stairs, at the other by a high whitewashed wall—a t ul-de sai \ A huge wooden cross was erected close under this wall. Having taken up our station on one of the roofs, at a distance of about fifty feet from the cross, we had not long to wait before the Mandarin—the official deputed to super intend the carrying out the sentence —ar- rives!. He was preceded by about a dozen soldiers armed with rattan canes, which they laid about them pretty freely to clear the way for the coming procession of sedan chairs. An interval of aboir, ten minutes, and an increasing hubbub and movement of the crowd at the gateway heralded tho approach of the condemned man, who pres ently brought in in a large basket, carried by two coollies, his arms and logs being flrmlv bound. A strip of wood, covered with Chinese characters indicating the punish ment aliout to be inflicted, was stuck into his clothing at the back of his nock. He was young, apparently about 30 years of age. It is said that the friends of prisoners sometimes bribe the jailers to drug them before these terrible executions. If so, this had obviously not been done in the present instance, for the condemned man seemed in perfect possession of his senses, and had a wild, defiant look on his face, which he car l’ied to the las”. Arrived at tho foot of the cross the basket was set down ami its in mate assisted out. He was then (with the exception of a waist-cloth) stripped naked and placed against the cross. Tho process of pinioning took an inter minable time, and the poor wretch was very roughly handled. I could see the perspira tion pouring down: bis face as the fierce sun beat upon his unprotected head and should ers. He was bound to the cross with thin bamboo strips around his ankles and above the knees, and round the waist; his wrists were secured to the arms of the cross, and his head kept fast by two or three turns of the bamboo strip across the eyes and in the mouth, the last acting as a very efficient gag. The executioner now made his appear ance, carrying, wrapped in a pieeeof ragged cloth, a bundloof swords and knives, which, with the utmost coolness and precision, lie laid upon the ground under the very nose of his victim. He then seized a knife, a ter rible broad bladed weapon, about ten inches long, and bared his arms to the elbow. All was non ready. An inquiring look toward the Mandarin (who still sat in his sedan im mediately under us), an affirmative nod from that official and the work of butchery commenced. Two deep cuts over each eye and temple deliberately executed liognn the operation— gnshei which turned great pieces of flesh over and left the bone ex]iosed —then a cut down each cheek and a deeper one over each shoulder and under each armpit severing the tendons and arteries, and deluging the place with blood. Circular cuts to the none in each upper arm and foreman followed, and then, stepping back to get more scope, the human devil who acted as executioner hacked off the right hand with one blow. A large piece of flesh was then cut (or rather dug. out of each thigh and from over each knee, and the flesh torn off both knee caps. The calves of both legs were then cut off. The executioner then desisted for a few moments, and, wiping his hands with a cloth, contemplated his handiwork with evident satisfaction, very much as a skill ful surgeon would do after a successful operation. I should mention that the cuts I have described were not given quickly-, but the knife drawn deliberately through the flesh, occupying at least twenty or thirty seconds each time. Another and smaller knife was now se lected, and driven into the hilt under the right breast bone, tho executioner working it about, while his assistants fanned his wretched victim with a large palm leaf fan, for the double purpose of keeping off the flies, which had already assembled in large numbers, and hiding the hideous contor tions of the dying man’s features, for he was not yet dead, as I could see by the working and twitching of tho fingers of his remaining hand. Ten or twelve seconds more of this diabolical torture and he was cut down from the cross to fall, inert and helpless, on his knees and face. One assistant now heid back his arms, while a second held out his pigtail at full length before him. Changing his knife for a big, heavy-looking sword, about five inches broad at the cutting point, and which he held in both bands, the executioner stepped back a pace, aud, measuring his dis tance, with one clean stroke, which I heard, as well as saw, severed the head from the body at a blow. The conp-de-grac* given, the Mandarin disappeared, the gates were thrown open, and the crowd poured in to witness the final cutting up of the body. The whole operation from its commence ment probably occupied five minutes, but it seemed like a good hour to me. Old Peter’s Old Friends. From the Nashville American. An affecting incident occurred in the court house at Greenville, S. C., a few days ago, and was an illustration of the depth of feeling that can exist lietween master and slave. The case of Peter Herbert was called, and the negro who answered to that name went into the prisoner’s dock to an gwer to the charge of retailing liquor with out license. He was old and infirm, and os he stood he represented a negro of the old regime, of whom so few are left. A frag ment of gray hair was combed straight above his dark-furrowed brow, and he gave iionor to the occasion by amiving himself in his broadcloth suit that hu master had danced in a half century ago. When the witnesses for the government hud lioen examined tho venerable ex- Gov. Bonham, of Kouth Carolina, went on the Htund and testified to the good character of the defendant. Tull and erect, with eves still glowing with the fire of eloquence, this grant! old specimen of a Southern gentle man stood and asserted the honor of the ne gro who for forty years had boen Ms trusted slave and friend, and although over 70 years old. anti enfeebled wit h recent illness, he had made a journey of over 100 miios for the purpose of defending faithful old Peter in the hour of his need. The incident was rendered more touching when Adjt. Gen. Bonham, Peter's “young master,” appeared as his attorney, performing the service as a pure gratuity to the old man. The case oiided in an acquittal, and tears of grati tude streamed down the face of Peter as he expressed bis thanks toold master, and to young Mass Milledge. Skinny Men.
