THE WILD INDIANS.
BY D. BAILEY FREEMAN.
Yes, I ('.in tell about it now. It was so
loug ago ; but I’ll never be forgiven if they
reao it! It’s a terrible fearful story, ami
makes me shake to think of it.
We had been taking a little pleasure
‘ trip, Mary and I, untied the boat and
floated down the stream. Let the cur
rent drift us whither it would, never the
idea coming in those thoughtless heads of
ours, where should we anchor, or how the
way back be made.
Little good did our frail wrists with the
unwieldy oars, when we would return.
The tide was ngaimt us, and while hands
and slender fingers learned for the lirst
time their utter uselessness to do battle in
the world, all their beauty would wegladly
have changed for a lithe of the Etrength
the Maker meant should be theirs. Tired
and blistered, they soon dropped, ami fate
carried us still further, while dormant in
genuity awoke within our anxious minds.,
“ They would miss us, our friends, bui
look anywhere save on the river, or be
neath the river,” murmured Mary bitterly.
“ Oh, no, not. so bad. Here is Kobinson
Crusoe island right before us, and now to
be cast ashore.”
Hut another fear save drowning mad
my cheeks paler than the while ones be
side me. Wo were away oft' from home,
visiting in a wild Western country, and
only yesterday a fearful message, “ Indians
are lurking near!” had made trembling
hearts through all the village, for deadly
war was declared, and the savage merci
less.
We were drilling ashore, a breeze had
set in, and there might he lidls further
down, so we caught at some spreading
branches, stepped on the hank, and sat on
the soft grass.
“ h?lay here, Mollie, faint-heart,” said I,
presently; “see what yon can find for the
homeless wanderers, while I do some re-
connoitering.”
I crept softly up a high slope, then down
again in a hurry, lor my worst fears were
realized. Six dark forms were lounging
in the shade on the other side. Mollie met
me pale and breathless.
“By George, they’re lying,” with con
fused exclamations to the effect that they’d
been here the night liefore.
With a mighty effort I gamed fhe
clothes ! ’ A rough guffaw followed, and
a rhorna of “ Why, don’t you know ns ?
It s us ! ’ and we were astounded by the
- ... . . - ....... , discovery that our brave gentlemen

“ Oh, Elizabeth Anna Montro°e,” she
gasped, “Hush! Keep still—don’t say a
word. What do you suppose I’ve found ?
Don’t open your mouth ; they may be right
here in the trees—no there ain’t any—well,
under the ground somewhere. I’ve found
a tent and blankets, and coals of fire, and
they’re Indians! I knew the smell in a
minute.”
But you never saw alive Indian in your
life!”
“ Don’t you suppose I know, Katie Mon
trose? Let's go and drown ourselves this
minute. Oh, what will Charlie say ? and
the boats floated down stream.”
“ Gracious l’ctep! it has?—there, Mollie,
what did you go and make me use that
word for ? There is a whole tribe of In
dians on the other side—at least I counted
six—but there’s no need of making our
selves ridiculous. You’re shaking down
all your back hair!”
1 know that was the only way to bring
her to her sensoB. When a woman gets
excited her hair don’t stand upon end, but
the hair pins do, and about two dozen
were dancing a jig out of Mollie’s head.
Kor three minutes they occupied her
distracted hands, and we sat down to con
sider. A little while ol despair and repin
ing, when such horrid thoughts came in
our minds. “ Would you rather he roasted
or boiled ?” Mollie whispered once, then
all the courage of pioneer women rushed
in our hearts, and we resolved that wo
man’s wit should yet save us.
A brilliant idea struck me. If some In
dians were on the island, what more likely
tliau others should wander over?
“ Let’s disguise ourselves as squaws!”
“ Ob, glorious! That’s it cried Mollie,
dancing.
“They’ll never know the difference;
they’re so horrid dark, I know they can’t
tell each other apart.. 1 did see one once
at a museum, Lizzie, and we’ll use the
blankets. Come quick!”
Oh, but we did it nicely. Mixed coal
with scarlet berries, and got a beautiful
reddish tint. Mollie’s hair was long and
dark, so did splendidly, but mine had to
be tucked up in a little bunch, powdered
with coal dust, and wound with a red
scarf before’t would pass.
“They’ll never notice. Indian men are
as green as white ones, 1 presume, and
can’t tell one fashion from another—but
it’s good your eyes are black, Liz !”
We doffed part of our rig, bid it, and
east off head gear, behind a rock, then
wrapped ourselves in blankets, put on a
melancholy air, and gazed steadfastly at
the water. Not quite understanding
squaw character, concluded to be as fero
cious and non-committal as possible.
Presently a tall savage came sauntering
along, jumped back with the horrible ex
elamation, “ Bv jingo!” learned from some
profane trader, then rushed back to his
companions. They all came over, greatly
excited, advancing frantically, exercising
some very approved modern steps. Mary s
dark eyes grew large, and her savage
month puckered lor an unmistakable
whimper, but slopped and straightened
when they came tearing down on us.
“Ugh! ugh!” cried the foremost.
“ Who be ? Where from ?”
“Ugh! oh! ah! ngb!” growled I.
“ Over there. Your tribe!”
“ Um, um, ugh ! We no b’long to Injuns
there. What they do ?”
“Uh, ah, ugh, um, um, um !” muttered
Mary. “Kill white man!”
“Oh, ah, eh, ugh ! any more here?”
“ No; we stop here—lose boat,” then
with a sudden burst of Indian eloquence,
using the only word 1 knew, meaning
“ get out,” Pueachee!”
They all started.
« UVb, ugh, oh, ah, oh, um,” said one.
44 V?e uioiits forslay-um, no understan’
your tribe language—speak Ingleece!”
“ Want go back. Give boat, kill you
and tell chief’less you do; ugh, ugh, ugh!”
They held a consultation with anxious
glances iu our direction. It was all dear
now.
“ We are doing splendidly,” chuckled
Mollie, “ Don’t you see, there are t w o
tribes, enemies, yon know, and they think
we belong to the foe.”
“ Yes, but there must be more on the
lslaud, and here’s only two of us. V> hy
don’t they kill us or chuck us off some
where i”
“No, these are all there are here, and
they thiuk some of our tribe will be after
us, so daren’t either hurt or let us stav
here. That must be the way, so let’s keep
up Awful Savage, and we’re*safe. I mean
to turn actress, when we get out of this
scrape. I always knew I had a mission
for something. Do hide your hands,
Mollie, they’re horrid small for au Indian.”
Back they came.
“ Ugh 1” said the tallest. “ T our tribe
come here often ?”
“Yes, said I,gruffly, “every night.”
iie'Folks 1 Um! Gracious, um, oh, ah,
coming lure to-night?” “Yes; to eat
’em. Ugl< !*’
“Oh!*al«! eh! Think some more,” and
off they went.
“Mollie,” I whispered, “I believe we j
are not so far from home after all. You
know how the river winds. I think if we
can make them carry us over to that point,
bv "oing across lots, we’ll get to Uncle
(xeorge s.
“ That’s so. I can see the smoke now.”
“Nonsense, It’s a flock of birds. But
we’ll try.”
“ Ugh, ah, uh,” said a small, big-nosed
Indian, “ which way.your tribe?”
“ Over there,” said Mollie, with a nod
to some black woods in the distance.
“ Ah ! me carry you halfway, you not
tell to we get back ?”
“ All right; to that point, um, um, um.”
“ Who go?” said Big Nose.
“ Yon, Bill ?”
“ No, he ; this one do squaw, ladies ?’
“ Oh, ah, ugli! No ; I stay to pick up.”
“ Um, um ! dis one take you nice, In
juns.”
“No, ugh! Knock you sky high yon
don’t look out, old fellow. I sick.”
None seemed to think our company de
sirable, yet we must have one, and the
smaller the better, so I nodded.
“ Ugh, ah, ugh, Big Nose, go or we
stay.”
“ Yes,” said all. “He go. He nice.”
He didn’t seem to feel very nice, though,
as he led the way.
How we did wish to be taller, as straight
and stern we marched, with trailing blan
kets, past the Indians, who edged back at
our approach
Couldn’t resist trying my power once
more, so jumped with a “ Pueachee” at
the tall, ugly one, who tumbled over in
fright, and the last I saw of him as w r e
turned the corner was a pair of boots in
the air.
“ Queer they wear boots,” whispered I
to Mollie.
“ To keep their feet warm, probably.
Live Injuns don’t wear moccasins ; stop
whispering, and do take long steps.
Stride so.
And she marched on with a majestic
air that inspired our guide with respect
ful awe.
We were rowed in solemn silence up
the river to a level space a short distance
from the forest. There were no adieux.
Big Nose pushed off from the shore, and
the savages watched from the Island. We
could not resist giving a tremendous
“ whoop!”
Such a scatteration ! Tumbling and roll
ing in their haste, all disappeared in utter
disregard of poor Big Nose, frantically
crying, and pulling with all his might
away from the foe he expected after him
A short hurried walk brought us home.
’Twas twilight, and wo got in the house,
changed our apparel, and washed our
dusky faces without arousing any one.
Then went down, exhausted and trem
bling, yet self-exultant, to tell our tale.
Now, uncle George had not lived West
long, but., as with all the rest of our good
men, the East had grown too small to
hold him, and away lie went. His wife
was strongly opposed to this Western
scheme, yet dutifully followed by his side
with a mournful “ I expected it all the
time,” at each new discomfort.
Uncle George left his two sons in col
lege, but they, Mollie and I, my brother,
her brother, and two other young gen
tlemen, wei e here for the first time on a
visit.
We assembled the household together
—uncle George, aunt Jane, Hannah, and
the hired man ; then such a time! Mollie
wanted to tell, and I knew I could best, so
’twas “ a whole tribe of Indians!” “ blan
kets !” “ Big Nose the chief!” “ no, tall
ugly one!” “ squaws,” &c., interrupted by
aunt Jane s “ I expected it all the time;”
Hannah’s “ Good Lor !” and *f Do speak
plainer, girls ; Indians you say ? Are they
near?” from uncle.
All of a sudden a terrific scream from
Hannah, “The Injuns are coming!”
Sure enough, six dark forms leaping and
running toward the house. The tall chief
brandishing two hoop skirts, Big Nose
holding way oil' from himself.
“ Hair! screamed aunt Jane, “ oh they’ve
scalped some one already.”
“ No, keep still,” whispered Mollie,
“ ’tis my switch ; they’ve found our rig,
and know we played them false, so they’ve
tracked us. Oh, what shall we do !”
’Twas a desperate situation. No neigh
bors within hailing distance, the young
men oil'on a hunting excursion, and house
frail.
Uncle George bolted doors and win
dows, then pale and firm. Put hastened
after his gun.
Soon w r e heard them shaking, knocking
at the doors. We all gathered around
uncle, who seized the poker and listened
intently.
There was no door in the sitting-room,
hence w r e could distinguish no w r ords ex
cepting “Open door,” “kill,” “burn,”
“ eat,” “ skeletou’s hair!” during which
our wearing apparel was waved impress
ively.
“ Oh,” groaned uncle George, “if I had
only made those doors of oak.”
“ I expected it all the time,” sobbed
auntie from under the table.
“ Let them conn?,” cried Hannah, flour
ishing a clothes stick; “ they’ll have a
taste of this, I reckon.”
Pat was hunting his gun.
“ The holy Vargin protict ye,” he cried,
“ and presarve ye to his life I’ll come me-
self when I find me gun.”
A terrific assault against the shutters
made us hold our breath,
“ Come up stairs,” said uncle ; “ come
up stairs, We may protect ourselves bet
ter there.”
Aunt Jane grasped her bible, and we
all followed.
Peeping lrom the windows we could
see dark forms and nodding plumes. A
council of war they held, then made a si
multaneous rush at the door.
“ They’re tweaking in,” cried Hannah ;
“ We’re done for now, but take this, you
rascals!” hurling out. her clothes stick.
“ Oh, it there is any law in the
land ” said uncle George, “ you indi
viduals shall be exterminated—though
I’ve always held that, as a race, you were
capable of civilization.” .
“ The gospel may do them good,” re- tlie black vail, ani
marked aunt, sarcastically tossing the hi- lor llie w,lite
ble at their heads.
“ Pueachee! pueachee!” I shouted.
“ Oh, may the saints preserve ye ! I’m
afther me gun !” came from the attic.
“ Now let us be resigned,” said uncle ;
“the good Lord’s will be done.”
“ I expected it all the time,” groaned
auntie.
The door burst open from below, and
up they came.
“ I’m a dead man !” screamed Hannah.
“ But I’ll die game !” shouted nuele, for
getting his resignation, and flooring the
I first. Two seized and held him, the rest
| threw themselves in chairs, told us not to
act ridiculously, as there was something
serious to consider, and, throwing aside
blankets, disclosed some familiar apparel.
“ Oh,” cried Mollie, “Big Nose has
killed dear Charlie ! See, he’s got on his
.I
-r-i
exclaimed uncle, severely,
explain yourselves. This is no joke!”
They had harder work telling their story
than Mobie and I; every tongue going,
enforcing the tale by gestures that nearly
drove auntie frantic, until they cast off all
their savage gear; “Made 'bilieve In
dians —“ just for the sport, you know ”
—“ to try wild life ’—“ a lot of squaws
came over”—“about two hundred”—
“ the awfulest hideous things ”—(Mollie
pinched me)—“ six feet by seven ”—
“ tried to kill and eat us ”—“ yes, fry ”—
“said a whole tribe waiting to attack the
village to-night ”—“ on the other side of
the river ”—“ Charlie took them away in
a boat ”—“ yes, nobody else dared ”—
“ we were so busy, you know ”—“ they
whooped, and all came out of the woods ”
—“ so far off', we couldn’t count, at least
see”—“ Charlie came back, we got in the
boat, hurried home to lell you ”—“ and
take care of the family ”—then came the
climax: “ they killed and roasted two
girls ”—“ beautiful maidens ”—“ night
before last”—“ we found the remains”—
“ nothing left but skel Hons ”—“ hoop
skirts”—“and back hair”—displaying
the hideous articles.
“ Why, what’s the matter, uncle
George? What’s the matter with all of
you? Boys, I believe we’ve nearly scared
them to death !”
It did look so—the way we shook!
“ Oh, you creatures—you cowards !’
gasped Mollie.
“ Big Nose—Charlie Arnold, I’ll never
forgive you for calling me “ awfulest ug
liest.”
“ What—what—why, what do you
mean ? 1 >on’t be so nonsensical, girls—
we must rouse the village!”
“ Oh, no, catch your squaws,” said I;
“ that will do. Twohundred! Oh, Prank,
what will become of you?”
“ Give me my hair,” cried Mollie, seiz
ing it from a stupid hand. “Oh, you
brave set! two girls scare you to pieces !”
Didn’t we have a jubilee! But they
wouldn’t believe until i brought down the
blankets and the red scarf; then conclu
ded to xvash off* the black.
“ Strange how a fellow’s ey'es deceive
him ! Why I believe you were all scared,
boys, but I!” Aunt Jane went after her
bible, and didn’t say she “ expected it all
the time ” for a week. We found Pat un
der his bed.
“ The holy vargin protect ye, dear In
juns !” he groaned ; I’ve sprain! me back
intirely—ye may have all the rest, but
plase don’t disturb uieself.
When it was discovered he never had a
gun to he “afther” Pat’s bravery was
called in question, but notmuch discussed.
In fact our young gentlemen, who had
been won’t talk very fiercely of their prow
ess, grow wonderfully still, and I think we
girls had the best of it.
I forgot to say “Big Nose” and Mol
lie are married, and have the sweetest
little pappoose!
And I—why—the tallest and ugliest,
you know—lie’s asked me to be his little

Ugh! ah, um—good-by!

On the night of the fiSth, November, 1833—1
believe was the time ot “ the falling stars ”—an
obese old farmer was lying on bis sola, haviog
a negro woman scratching his head, two child
ren picking his ears, two rabblug his hands and
two liis leei, when he was startled by one—who
bad been looking out of the window—exclaim
ing, “ lor, master, something is on fire, see how
the coals arc flying.” Kicking and knocking
away the seven attendants—besetting him like
ants around a dead worm—he went to the door,
and seeing the grand pyrotechnic display, sent
the whole seveu to call Phillips, the overseer,
whom, when he came, be ordered to call the
negroes, and making him select four of the
strongest, he had himself let down bis well,and
telling Phillips to stand at. the mouth to transmit
his orders, proceeded, shouting lrom his lower
deep, “ Phillips, make Tom aud Peter get on
the gin-house, Ham and Boh on the barn, Joe
and Jett on the corn-crib, ami make the
others carry them water.” “Phillips 1” “Sir.”
“Have them fodder-stacks in the gin-house field
caught, yet V” “No, sir.” “Phillips, ain’t the
grass-field, on the Houlb hill, all in a blaze?’
“Not yet, sir; the fire goes out before coming to
the ground.” “Phillips, have a bottle ot that
old peach brandy, in tlie cellar, sent down—ior
hot as it is up there, it is mighty cold down here
—and give the niggers what they want, for it
will all be burnt up before day.” “Phillips, do
you smell any brimstone from the fire ?”
thought, sir, I bail a whitt ot it just now.”—
“Phillips it any ot that fire falls down here aud
should miss me, it will scald me like a hog in a
scalding tub, at least it will parboil the life ou
ot me. Phillips, get pen. ink and paper, (alter
they were brought he proceeded:) Phillips, can
you write on the bench wheretheyset the water-
bucket ?” “Yes, sir!” (After dictating a short
wiil,Phillips said he would have him come up and
sign iu tlie presence ot witnesses, when he pro
ceeded : “Phillips, what is the state of the fire?”
“Pouring like it was raiuing ten thousands brush-
heaps.” “Can’t come up yet, Phillips.—
Phillips, have you heard Gabriel’s trumpet?”—
“ Not yet.” “ Well, let me know the first toot
you hear, that 1 may have time to pray a little.”
(Phillips proceeded to tell him that there was
no use making a will, no how, lor all hia prop
erty would be burned, and it would be of uo
use.) “ Well, Phillips, I lorgot that.” The
Old Peach having began to operate, gave him
Dutch courage to come up, having first had the
wagon body brought near the well and turned
upside down, under which lie crawled. Phillips
proposed having straw put under the body for
him to lie or, he objiected, “ because it would
take fire too easily.” But, ordering sheepskins
and blankets he gave directions to have himseli
let down agate it the wagon body c ught fire,
and went into his woolen nest under it. The
re-action lrom the warmth aud soothing quali
ties of the emptied bottle, wrapped him, with
his tears, into forgetfulness until the blessed sun,
rising belore the sleeper, blotted out all appear
ance of the falling nre. That will was never
preserved for probate.
Brightening Prospects.- A great change
has come over the feelings of our people, tne
result ol the rains which have recently fallen
upon our parched fields and gardens. From a
dwindling and dying condition, vegetation has
sprung into a new « xistence, and the hearts of
men are cheered with tlie prospect oi “ seed to
the sower and bread to the eater.” Though
the recent rains have not beeu as bountiful as
we desired, the land is put in a good growing
condition, aud for some days, a rapid growth ot
vegetation may lie expected. The gardeners ot
Atlanta have great cause to rejoice over this

the most favorahte seasons tor wheat crops we
have ever seen. A mol spring is considered a

we have lrom different sections ot the State
with regard to this crop are most encouraging.
The grain is rapidly advancing to maturity, and
will soon be ripe lor the harvest. We see lrom
one of our exchanges that one planter near Au

uiarkel. He sold it loj $4 per bushels. So we
may look forward with pleasure at the bright
prospects for bread iu abundance, which lie out,

The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette, referring to the presence In that
city of certain Indian chiefs, says:
The stoical character ol the Indian is well
known. They are trained torepreaaall emotion,
and a grant, or a shrug of the shoulder, ia often
the only indication that they are moved. The
gentleman who has Spotted tail (this, by the
way is not a correct translation of the name of
the Sioux chieftain) and party in charge has
been bent on startling them from their dignified
silence. At Chicago he took them down into the
tunnel through which that city derives its sup
ply ot water irom the lake; but tlie red men only
granted, and ejaculated “ Waugh.” They have
seen all the lions of Washiugton, visited the Cap
itol, called ou the President and General Sher
man, without giving utterance to an exclamation
or affording a single clue to their thoughts.
That they have “thought a heap” is ascertain as
that the sun rises ami sets. The other night the
Indians sent tor this gentleman. Now, thought
he, comes the sensation; l shall know what the
party think ot what they have seen. And this
was the “ talk” that ensued. Haid the Indians:
"You recollect that wagon in which you
brought us down to the railroad ?”
“Yes.”
“It was a hired wagon ?”
“Yes.”
“And hired horses?”
“Yes.”
“Well, when you take us back we want yon
to buy a wagon, and when we get home give us
the horses.”
This was fhe end of the “talk ”
Indeed, the party are not disposed to talk
with any one. They would not talk the other
day vti h Commissioner Parker, of the Indian
Bureau. They came here by invitation ot the
white man, aud fbty oon-ider it is for him to
talk, and lor them to li ten. Would not the in
troduction ot a tew Indians into Congress have
a good eflect ?
It is a curious fact that should these Indians,
on their return, venture to tell their tribe what
they have seen, they would at once lose aM in
fluence ami authority, and would he set dowu
as crazy. This has beeu the case in mauy in
stances Not loDg since the chict ot a tribe in
Arizona was taken to San Francisco, and on his
return told how many pale faces he had seen.
The Indians would not believe him. If there
are so many pale-faces, said they, why don’t
they come to Arizona? The chict was deposed,
and to this day the Indians believe him lo tie
crazy.
