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.

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 HAVE ON HAND A COMPLETE STOCK j Texan, feeling that lie was losing I ground. 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!” GROCERIES!! -I’l ItEST AM) 1IEST- 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? Look here! and thorc 1 and there I Joseph is dead 1 You arc his raur- they stood around tlie grave: . . . “We hope the Lord won’t !av it up against hs.” ' , ^ 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. Yet I lin'd in my hand another sign of repentance and regret lor iL <in. lace. The Texan noticed it, and slapping Joseph’s face, he blurted ‘"'“"S*™ S |....
