T|icy didn't cal) l(im Tout, or
Jack, or Harry,'but always spoko
of him as Josoph’s brother. And
it was just as singular that they
didn’t call him i Joe instead of
Joseph, when speaking of tho
■nan.
Tho two had a wagon in tho
band dragging itself towards the
Black Hills day by day anil mile
by mile. They messed by them
selves, scarcely spoke to eacli other,
and their lives and actions were a
sort of mystery to the rest, who
were a jolly set, drinking, carous
ing, fighting and playing cards,
and wishing for a brush, with the
Indians. Some said that Joseph
wns a fugitive from’justice, and
that he wouldn’t fratei'ni^o With
them for fear of betraying himself
when interrogated. Othors thought
he fell too proud te mix in their
society, and between the two
theories lie had nearly all the men
thinking ill of hid) before tho wag
on train was four days travel from
Cheyenne.
"He keeps bis brother hidden
away in the wagon as if a little
sunshine would kill him,” growled
one of a dozen gold hunters', sit

“I don’t purtend to he an'angel,
but'I know manhCt’s as well as the
next. I beliotc that man Joseph

“That's the game, Jack! Go in,
old lellow. ’Ball for the man from
Texas I” yelled the gold-huntcrsTis
they sprang to their feet,
“Come right along and boo the
fun." continued the Texan, as lie
led the way to Joseph’s wagon.
Tho vehicle formed one ill the
circle, and at a small fire near the
hind wheels sat Joseph and his
brother eating their frugal supper.
As tho meu came near, tho boy
sprang up and climbed into the
covered wagon, while Josoph slow
ly rose up and looked at them anx-
jointly and in<|tiiringly.
“See here, Mr. Joseph, what’s
your other name ?” began tho Tex
an, as be halted before the lone
man. “We have come to tho con
clusion that you and that booby
brother of yours don’t like our
style. Are we kerccl ?”
“I have nothing against any of
you ” quietly replied Joseph.
“The journey thus fur lias been
very pleasant and agreeable to
IIS.”
“But you hang off—you don’t
speak to ns,” persisted Jack.
“I am sorry if I have incurred
any man’s ill will. 1 feel friendly
towards you all.”
“Oh, you do, eh ?” sneered the

j “Well it’s my opinion that you
are a sneak.’'
Joseph’s face turned white, and
the mnn saw a dangerous gleam in
liis eyes. Ho seemed about to
speak or make some movement,
when a soft voice from the wagon
called out:
“Joseph! Joseph!”

taiu passed by Joseph's wagon on
purpose to say.
“If there are any cowards in this
train they needn’t travel with us
anv farther.”
It was a cruel thrust. Joseph
was harnessing his horse, and his
brother wns stowing away tho
cooking utensils.
The strange man's face grew
white again, and his band went for
his revolver, but just then a voice
called out:
“Don't mind him, Joseph, well
go on alone.”
The train moved on without them,
some of tho gold-hunters joking
snd taunting, and others fearful
that the two woAld bo butchered
by the Indians before the day was
over. When the, whito topped
wagons got so fur away that they
'looked no larger than his band, Jo
soph moved along the trail, his face
stern nnd so busy with thoughts
that ho did not hear tho consoling
words:
“Never mind, Joseph, wo arc
trying to do right.”
That night when the wagon
train of the gold hunters went in
to camp, they oould not see the
lone wagon, though, many, of the
men. ashamed of their conduct,
looked long and earnestly for it.
They had seen the Indians afar oir,
and know that the fred dovlls
would -pounce down upon a single
team ns soonria tlioy sighted it.
Darkness came; midnight came,
and the sentinel beard nothing but
the stamping of the horses nnd the
howls of coyotes. At two o’clock
tho report of rifles and the yells of
Indians floated ap through the lit
tle valley, and-the camp wns arous
ed in a moment.
“The devils have jumped on Jo
seph and his brother,” -whispered
ono of tho men, os he stood on
a knoll and bent bin bead to
listen.
“Good 'miff! Cowards have
no business ont Imre,” growled the
Texan.
The first apeaker wheeled,struck
the ruflian a sledge-hammer blow in
tho face, nnd thou running for the
’horses, cried out:
“Como on! Como nnl A doz
en of us can bo spared for the
rescue.”
Sixteen men swept down the val
ley like tlie wind. Tim firing nnd
yelling continued, the mnn who
bad been called a coward was mak
ing a heroic tight.
In leu minutes they came down
on the lone camp, made light ns
day by tlie burning wagon. Kilty
feet Iroin the bonfire and hemmed
in by a circle of dancing, leaping,
howling savages, was Joseph’s dead
body.
The gold-hunters licit)d the popl
l>op! popl of tho boy’s revolver as
they hurst in view, and tile next mo
ment they were charging down on
,thc demons, using rifle nnd revol
ver witli terrible elfcct. In two
minutes not a living Indian was to
be seen. Joseph’s brother stood
over tho dead body, turning him
over witli his hand. The men
cheered wildly us they looked
arouiid, but tlie boy looked up in
their faces without exultation, sits-
prise or gladness.
There were three dead Indians
beside tlie wagon, killed where the
fight commenced, and tho corpses
in front of Joseph's brother num
bered more than the victims of the
sixteen men.
Is Joseph badly hurt V’ asked
one of the men, as he halted his
horse beside the boy.
“He is dead 1" whispered the
white-faced defender.
“Is he ? God forgive me for
the part I took last night.”
“You called himacownrd !”cried
Joseph’s brother, “and you are to
blame for this ! Was he a coward?

THE SECESSION OF GEOBGIA.
What Albert Unu. Secretary ef the
Confederate Coagreie, lias to Bay
Oeab'i Interview.
Said I “Mr. Lamar, is it nottruo
that the secession of Georgia was
accomplished by making Herschel
V. Johnson drank, when be was
carrying the convention at Milledge
vilie, called to consider secession,
overjto tlie union side?”
“Yes,” said Mr. Albert Lamar;
“and I mixed tho drink of brandy
which settled Mr. Johnson. Cobb’s
brother and Toombs were privy to
it, and I was the scctetary of the
convention at MiUedgevillo which
passed the secession ordinance.
The people of Georgia were very
much disinclined to disunion. We
on the other side were too much
committed to it to fail without be
ing individually mined. We had
already made our political record
for it, and if tho union side pre
vailed we were gone politically in'
Georgia. Herschel V. Johnson
had been the candidate for vice-
president on the tickd with Doug
las. He woe the most powerful
speaker in our state when he could
get fully enlisted nnd stirred up.
He made a speech that day in Jan
uary, 1861, before the Milledge-
vilie convention, which was the no
blest effort of bit life. We felt the
temple of our creation falling
around our heads. It became nec
essary to break up the lino of that
tremendous speech, and we pro
posed an adjournment, conceding
that Johnson should go on after
dinnur. It was then resolved to
give him a dram that would break
his command over bis topic. There
was some old brandy at thn hotel,
and I made a toddy of It without
water, very palnlable, very tremen
dous. He drank it, and when wo
met again he could not go on. His
memory was weak, and bis words
ran together, the convention got to
laughing at l^jm, nnd Toombs car
ried it by storm.”
Thus wns tlie noble cause ofdis-
union thrice nobly achieved by re
fusing to let the* voice of reason
be heard.
