LIFE AMONG THE INDIANS.

written for the Floridian in 18.9 while the
writer now Editor of the Schley County News,
was among thetn.l
MODE OF BURIAL
I arose early one morning and canter
ed of across the prairie in search of game.
A ride of three miles brought me to a
swampy hammock; anchoring my pony
to grass, I entered the swamp and
found it contained the mortal remains,
of their “sleeping warriors.” No cold
and silent grave was there; no marble
shait in its icy silence to vbivouac o’er
the dead;” no costly sarcophagus to burst
asunder when Gabriel's trumpet shall
sound. What a consoling thought to
those whose lives are shadowed with a
fear of being buried before life is extinct.
The “sleeping” brave “lies high and dry”
about two feet from the ground. A pen
is made of heavy logs and floored about
two feet from the ground with the same
material; the deceased is wrapped tightiy
in his blanket, if he has one, or other
piece of cloth, and laid on the floor; his
trusty rifle is laid by his side, a bottle of
“sofka” and other eatables are placed
ready for use “when he needs them; his
’pots, spoons and all his worldly effect
are placed at his feet and the pen built
over them and made perfectly strong
and secure, so that the wolves may howl
and panthers crouch around in vain.
The noble red man sleeps quietly on; and
\vhen*the last trump shall sound he has
nothing to do but to jump up, kick down
the old log pen, eat his “sofka,’’shoulder
his trusty rifle, and skin out for the
happy hunting grounds. There are no
evidences of these wooden tombs having
been visited by disconsolate* widows or
weeping friends. No two of them are
in sight of each other, hut scattered
about at random over theswamp. I left
the dead Indians and hurried back t< »
iind the live ones still sleeping and my
absence . undiscovered, , . tnongh “old So,

SEMINOLE CIVIl JZATION.

they have novr. about reached the point
the white man’s illustrious fore-parents
were when they broke out of the Garden
of Eden, to go on a hunting excursion,
and a few more hundred years of this
onward march will And them sufficient
cy civilized to establish '‘Freedn a 1
Bank’s,” discuss “ Women's Eights” and
j deliver temperance lectures from the
head of a whisky barrel. They don't
propose to be impeded in their progress,
either, by the “stupid pale-face,” who is
always trying to force his God and gov
ernment upon them, and if the whites
ever succeed in convincing these “S<>
lons of the forests,” that our civilization
is superior to theirs, they will have to
first resort to the plan of catching and
caging them—just as the Government
did the Oheyenes, Arrapsihces and other
tribes at St. Augustine, though there is
at present no excuse for measures cf this
kind. All the Seminoles ask is to he “let
alone” where they are, and if I was Un
cle Sam’s legal adviser I would say let
'em rip. They are peacable now and will
remain so if not provoked to extreme
measures by dishonest and meddlesome
white men. Not long since a white man
living on the Caloosahatchee river,
drove off and killed 14 logs belonging
to them; they are highly incensed at this
outrage, and are making some very se
I vere threats of revenge, if the hogs are
j not paid for in one month. It is true
that they have occasionally appropria
ted to their own use a beef belonging to
the whites, hut all the cattle in this
