BIG SWAMP ADVENTURES. •
Ufa on the Grant Marsh with’ Uaer.
Genre, Alligators and Desolation.
Tie prairie land which covers a con ;
siderable portion of the Oltefenokee
swamp is a very remarkable formation,
and is, I am told, peculiar to this swamp.
It is open land, entirely free from tira-
iier, and stretching away as far.as the
eye can reach tn every, direction. It haa
moat of the characteristics of a hnge in
land sea except the waves. Interspersed
here and there in this huge prairie are
small patches of high, dry ground of
variable sizeund heavily timbered, called
cow houses, i um unable to ascertain
the propriety of this name, nnless it* be
that the cattle, deer and other animals
seek these places for shelter and to get
out ot ilie water.
. The Nurture of these prairies is cov
ered with a deposit of decayed vege
tation that lias been accumulating for
centuries, and is called muck. This
varies in thickness from four to ten
feet, with water beneath, and below the
water sand. This singular formation
gives to the swamp its name of Trem
bling Earth, it will support the weight
of the average man if he keeps moving
onward, but if lie pauses an instant he
commences to sink, und may go through
to his waist or over his head. At every
step the water oozes up4round the feet,
while the muck will tremble and quiver
for yards around.
There is something grand and even
sublime to the visitor in the silent vast
ness of this prairio formation. It
stretches awgy before the eye in every
direction until only limited by the hori
zon, its perfect stillness only broken by
the occasional bellow of some huge alli
gator or the far distant scream of some
unknown bird. Here und there can be
seen the track left behind by some hunt
er, where possibly years ago he had
laboriously poled liis canoe along in pur
suit of game, the puth'ns distinct und
fresh now as if only made yesterday.
All around lisli of endless species and
sizes can l>o seen swimming and darting
about, while not infrequently the eye
may fall upon some immense alligator
or snake sunning himself upon the sur
face of tho muck and water, or slowly
sinking out of sight as soon as he is dis
covered. This description conveys a
slight, but at best a very imperfect, idea
of the prairie land of this swamp.
Upon the island where we are at pres
ent encamped are living two families,
with the aged father, named Cheshire,
The old gentleman is nearly SO years
of age. ami has spent thirty-odd years
of his lil'o here in this tqiot. fie is a
wonderful fisherman and i .leed calls
himself the king of the swamps, tc
whicli position ho says he was duly ap
pointed und commissioned by Dr. Little,
tho state geologist. The two sons of Mr.
Cheshire hnvo their families here. The
men attempt to cultivate small crops,
but spend most of their time hunting.
Their revenue is almost wholly derived
from the salo of hides, alligators, deet
and bear. The quantities of these that
they destroy and many of their stories
of hunting adventures are almost in
credible.
Think of a hunter shooting down font
deer with a rifle, one after another, and
without moving from one spot. In sev
eral of the lakes that are thickly inter
spersed throughout this prairie the alli
gators ore so numerous and fierce that
they will attack a man in a boat as sooz
as be appe-ts among them, and shooting
them by nig at, which is the way they
are commonly killed, is sometimes at
tended with no little danger.
The entire armament of tho Cheshire
family consists of one’ ten-gaugo, ten-
pound, double baneled Remington shot
gun and two Winchester rifies, one 88-
caliber and one 32. Also a small yellow
pine bow and a few cane arrows. The
latter are used in shooting fish, and I
feel safe in affirming that the dexterity
with which these men uso their rude
bow and arrows would put to shame the
average Atlanta marksman with his rifle.
In passing over the prairie one of the
Cheshire* will suddenly stop, poise hie
little bow and send bis Uttle arrow fly
ing into the water—ordinarily into a
spot where you or 1 would see nothing,
but the way in whicli that arrow will
dance about for tho next minute or twe
will cod ,'inco yon not only that there if
an object on the other end of it, but
that there, is an object of some size, too.

•The Divine Sa-nh anil Her Trunl;».'
Lady readers may be interested in
knowing something of the trunks of
Sarah Bernhardt., which the other day,
to tho ntimlier of forty-eight, interfered
with the traffic /it Angers station and
paralyzed nearly the whole of the rail
way staff there. Madame admits thut
she had forty-eight tranks with her. ex
clusive of packages great and small.
Twenty of her trunks are made of wood,
about four feet high, each divided into
three compartments and tilled with her
most valuable dresses. Fourteen were
made of wicker work, also in three com
portments, some of the heavier being
subdivided into two, three, or four
spaces, filled with petticoats, linen, boots
and robes of small value. Three special
trunks are set apart for hats, arranged
on pegs in sncli a way as to prevent
them from 'being shaken or crushed.
The tragedienne’s "kit" in all weighed
between two and three tons—Pall Mall
Uazotto.
The Voluble Agent.
The silver polish man is ail artist. He
is numerous njid always theorizes. One
of the latest of the kind was in a Lewis
ton drug store the other day and he was
as usual theorizing, and hit theory was
fearfully and wonderfully made. Said
he: "Silver is porous. You can tell that
it is because it sweats in hot weather.
FUI a silver pitchor with water and the
water comes through on the outside."
So on ad libitum, while the druggist
smiled and said, "If your knowledge of
other subjects is as accurate as that upon
the pores of silver U fa valuable”—
Lewiston Journal.
Appearances Are Deceptive,
The popcorn man who does business
at the corner of Clark and Center streets
met with a ludicrous mishap Sunday
evening, just at the hour when the
streets were crowded with those who
bad spent the afternoon in the park.
This vender of com has occupied this
place for years, and knows in which
direction every car will turn as well
as the switchman who turns the
Lincoln avent e cars np Centre street.
Those who have watched a street car as
it rounds a curve have noticed bow tho
front platform runs ahead, as though
the car was going to continue in the
same direction, and then gives a sudden
lurch and whirls around the curve.
At the comer of Center und Clark the
appearance to those who do not happen
to know the cars is that all north bound
trains continue up Clark street. As the
cars near the corner it is the custom of
this popcorn man to board all the trains
in the endeavor to dispose of his but
tered grain. Sunday evening as tho
north bound grip came thundering tip
Clark street Sir. Popcorn man placed
himself, with his nmis full of merchan
dise, right in the center of the Clark
street track. As the train came nearer
and nearer lie never moved. Ou it came,
and u stranger in the crowd which
throfiged the entrance of the park be-
camo desperate.
Dashing in front of the grip car he
wildly seized the astoujshed popcorn man
by the neck and twirled him to what he
thought a place of safety. Tho popcorn
flew like a million grasshoppers, and tho
old man swore like a trooper. Anybody
who has heard the heartless laugh of a
street crowd can get an idea of the roar
of merriment that went up as the situa
tion dawned upon the bystanders. But
the most amusing thing of the whol^af-
fair was the look of blank rnnuzement of
that well meaning gentleman, as lie lie-
held the front car, with its two trailers,
turn up Lincoln uvenue.—Chicago News.
An Unfinished Shave.
This reminds the writer of an experi
ence in the Arran Islands, on the west
coast of Ireland. He had three weeks’
growth of beard on his fifce, and he
hunted over tho threo islands for a bar
ber, at last finding ono who was willing
i to undertake the job. The Arran barber
had nover shaved a Yankee, and was
overjoyed at tho chance. He was 20
years old, and had been engaged all his
lifo at building stone walls. He sliaqi-
ened his razor on a nibce of smooth flag
stone and seated his victim in a kitchen
chair. One man held the patient's head
and a dozen interested spectators looked
on, for it was an altogether unprece
dented event in the islands. Tho lath
ering was done with a piece of hard
brown soap, which was rnbbed over the
face. Grabbing a handful of hair on
top of the patient’s head the stone wall
builder flourished the razor in tho air
and exclaimed:
“Are ye all ready, sir?”
' “All right,” was the trembling reply.
Down came the razor with a sweep like
that of a scythe. The implement was
evidently as full of teeth as a buzzsaw.
It tore the hair out by the roots. It
raised the victim bolt nprigbt as if $
cannon cracker hod exploded. Tears
gathered in his eyes. His hands clinched
convulsively, and £ rivulot of blood ran
down his cheek. The butcher went to
the window to wipe bis weapon clean.
While standing there he looked np und
exclaimed sympathetically:
•'Share, sir, ye have a face as tindher
as a little baby!”
The shave was concluded threo
later in the city of Galway.—Ne w Turk
Sun.
Dust to Doit.
A thousand years hence—so rays a
member of tho Academy of Sciences—
nearly all the stone buildings now stand
ing in Europe will have crumbled to
dust. So perishable is the material of
which they are constructed that the
process of decay is already evident in
many conspicuous edifices. The same
thing is going on in this country. Neither
marble nor our favorite brown stone can
withstand the action of the elements.
Even the Capitol at Washington is un
dergoing disintegration.
It may not bo important that an ordi
nary dwelling house should last a thou
sand years. For sanitary, reasons it is,
perhaps, just as well that peoplo should
have to build their houses over again
once every two or three centuries. But
it is not agreeable to think that the Cap
itol and all tho great churches in tho
country will linve disappeared by the
year of grace 2890.—Now York Ledger.

Oujected to the Llcker.
Apropos of tho present necessity for
the separation of families by the often
continued absence of the husband on
the road, I know a little anecdote of a
youngster who had seen so littlo of his
father that ho did not know him, and
when, ona Sunday morning, this same
little follow, being obstreperous, was
severely reprimands by his impatient
father, he went howling to his mother
with the wail, “I ain’t goin'to git licked
by that old duffer who spends Sunday
here.”—Toledo Journal.
