THE “WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1884,—TWELVE PAGES. TRAVEL AND AD VENTURE half pounds of bluck broad, hnlf baked and THRILLING EXPLOITS AND PIC- TURES Of STRANGE LANDS. Cvxthia Pabkbe’b Lint,—A few days ago, *ay» a Fort Worth, Texas correspondent, there appeared In one of the city papers an adver tisement saying that a Comanche chief living near Fort Sill wanted.to obtain a photograph of his mother, Cynthia Ann Parker* and ask ing as a special favor that any one knowing where such a portrait could be had would com municatc with him. A. F. Corning, of Mc Lennan couuty, saw the advertisement, and at once wrote to she newspajicr in question that he could furnish the picture. Jle hap]»eiied to know that an old daguerreotype of the woman was in existence in Waco, and, taking this to an artist, he had several copies made, one of which whs sept to the chief. Cyuthia Ann Parker was the heroine of one of the most touching romances of the Texas border. Her parents and grandparents were among the pioneers of the state. Her grand father, Colonel Parker, after whom Parker couuty was named, was a noted man in his day. The Parkers lived on an exposed Iron tier, and though formidable in Indian warfare, they were frequent sufferers from raids by savages. About the year 1B40, when the Co manche* swept over that part ot the state, the Parkers lost nearly all their property, and eventually some of them were killed, and Cynthia, then nine years of age, was taken prisoner. Many efforts were made to rescue her-, but all without avail. Several times parties of brave men iuvoded the camp of the redskins and searched for the child, and, on nt least two occasions, lives were lost in tho ef fort to return her to her family. Every device was resorted to to gain information of her. Sometimes for mouths it would be believed that she had been killed, but finally a vague, story would gain circulation to the effect that a white girl had been seen with & roving band, and search would be renewed. When Cynthia was taken captive the savages placed her in charge of their women, and the child, finding that she was to bo well treated, soon came to enjoy the wild life which she led, and to look upon the Indians as her natural friends. When her clothing whs worn out she adopted the savage costume. She learned their tunlly, having become a sturdy woman, joined them on some of their raids. Ton years after her capture found her the wife of the war chief of the tribe, apparently as contented with her lot as any of the other women who. were her constant associates. Some years after her marriage, when the Comanchcs ware at peace with th’e setters, a party of white men entered their camp one day r.ml found the missing girl, now grown out of their recollection almost. Two or three chil dren played about her knee, looking much like the other youthful aborigines, save that they were neater in appearance and much more carefully watched by their mother. When they questioned her they found that she had olmost forgotten her native tongue, and it was with the utmost difficulty she could make them understand. She inquired After her relatives, nn/1 asked many questions aboutthe white peo ple generally; but In reply to a suggestion that she should accompany them to her former, home she said she was hnppily mar ried, had a good husband and nice children, and could not leuve them. She had made their home her home, and no other place on earth would be other than n prison to her. They left her very much cost down, and on re turning to the settlements spread her story far and wide. For a time the interest in her .case was re vived, and many old settlers who knew her father and grandfather threatened to make war on the Comnnchcs and take her away from them. Nothing could convince these old settlers that Cynthia would stay with the In dians of her own free will, and it was only after the most emphatic protests by tho men who had see n her in her savage home that her would-be deliverers abandoned the idea of tnkiug her by force. She was finally recap tured most unexpectedly. Bciue out with n war party of the Cornnnches in the fall of 1858, she was cut off from the braves in some man ner by Gcueral L.'S. Hons, of Waco, and taken prisoner in company with several other wo men. At first no one recognized her, but after hardly palatable, and a bowl of soup, with a small quantity of meat. Morning and evening a cup of. tea u allowed, I endured my suffer ings for two and a half years. Then I com pletely bro|te down, and the doctor of the dis trict declared that I was unfit for work. The rest of my sentence was remitted, and I was immediately assigned to my place in the colony. It was in one of the primitive forests of the north, where wolves, bears and reindeer dwell. In 1881, toward tho end of May, I re solved with four companions, to escape, with out money or weapons, and with only a knife and teakettle. We took tho direction toward the Caspian sea, through forests and an almost impassable country. We had no shoes on our feet, and kept ourselves alive on fish, game and mushrooms. In the Tau*kii\n country wo separated, and, with only one companion, Marsilli Muraiunoff, I went on. I soon lost him, and then pursued my journey alone. At length I arrived at A*trabad and Teheran, in Persia, where I received assistance. My hair had grown over my shoulders, my beard ex tended to my chest, I had neither shirt nor shoes, and my face was sunburnt almost to a black color. An English telegraph operator took charge of me. He had me washed and f ave me clean clothing. I next-svent through urkey and thence to Switzerland, where I was arrested and kept in prison for four months. Aguin I was arrested in Hesse Darm stadt, and serv. <1 n term of five months. I then resolved to find peace in England or the United States. I met Mr. Bradlaugh in Lon don, and at his request remained at his house for four days. Through his kindness I re ceived menus enough to take me to the United States. I arrived in New York in January last, ond have been in Cincinnati a few days only, I want to go to C'hiongo, where I under stand a great many Hussions reside/' Grvrx vr ron Dkad.—Muncie, Indiana, is agitated by the return of Thomas Walling NEWS J)F GEORGIA.

Then the story was circulated that she was Crnthia Parker, tra ditions of whose fate still existed, and her brothers and venerable grandfather were sent for. The brothers looked at her long and earnestly, but could not remember her. The old man, however, identified her as the stolen girl, ond she finally admitted that he was right. There wo* great joy over her recovery on the pert of her relatives ond their friends, but not so with her. She vainly tried to es cape, and passed many hours in tears.

He expressed great joy when the picture was placed in bis hands. Russia* Cetritv.—Alexander Seminoff is the name of a highly educated ltusinu who has been living in Cincinnati a short time. He has attracted the attention of scholars, and gives the following account of his adventures: “My pseudonym is Charles Frank. My Hussion name is Alexander Seminal!’. In 1878 T was one of the editors of a secret nihilist from Wentuerby, Oregon, to a wife whom he left thirty-five years ago, and whom ho finds a widow after having been twice married dur ing his absence. Filly year* ago George Shafer, who come from Pennsylvania, was a well to do farmer in Muncie. Joseph Walling, a prosperous tanner, lived just outside of tire thon village of Munceytown, n cluster of log cabins and little houses, with u log court liou-e. Susannah Shafer, a daughter of the farmer, was* just growing into womanhood and young Thompson Walling, the tanner* ■on, became enamored of her, and before f parents knew the truth, they were pledged each other. On April 1, 1841, they were mar ried, and among the guests were a youth and maiden, friends of the bride and groom, now Mr. Volney Wilson and wife. The union was happy. Three children were born to Walling and his wife, one of whom died, leaving a boy and girl. When the gold fever of 1849 broke nut young Walling became a victim, and, with $500 loan ed to him by his friend Volney Wilson, he left for California with Arch Hanul(on,Theo. Burt, Stephen Hamilton and son, Henry Wynor, James Hussy, Dr. Hathaway, Charles Me- Glaughlin, (the railroad king, lately shot by his employe In Ran Francisco,) Samuel Martin and others, now prominent citizens of Muncie. The mines of California and Idaho weio suc cessively tried, and one by ono the jmrty re- turned, save Walling, McGlaughlin and ltussy the latter of whom, with a man named Wood, from this county, met his death at tho hands of the Iudian*. Time passed, and letters from Walling came less and less frequent. In 1852 a letter containing n draft for $500 was receiv ed by Mrs. Walling. She never heard from him after that, and his silence was accepted a proof that ho was dead. In fuel, his father 1 estate at his death was administered as though young Walling was dead. His wife obtained a divorce, ana in 1802 married Horatio F. Wil coxon, who was killed in a taw mill in 18«fl A year later she married Jeremiah Vouch, who died two year® ago. Then she lived with her son near Muncie. Volney Wilton alone never shared tho belief that Thompson Walling was dead. For years he ftpeiit all his leisure time writing letters of Inquiry to out of the way places on tho Pacific count. One day in February Inst tho deputy postftifirter at Wcnthorby. Oregon, saw a letter postmarked Muncie, I ml,, addressed to the postmaster. Opening it, be found that it woi from his old friend Wilson, inquiring fbr him, He, apsWering, gave tho story of his life and misfortunes. Then he wrote to his wife, do wns sent to Siberia for an unlimited number of years. Nihilism, you may be aware, is spread all over the Russian empire, and the peculiar secrecy of its principles and work ings is mainly owing to the fact that ouly^teii may join together to form a band. Each band often knows nothing whatever shout an other band of ten. Each band works separate ly. We do not know even outside of our band who is a nihilist or who is not. After editing a nihilist paper for two years, I was betrayed to the police by one of my associates, snd was surprised one night in bed snd taken to the prison iu Odessa, after having been cruelly set-urged. After an eight months* examina tion, I was sentenced to three years hard labor in Siberia, ond to exile as a colonist in the ex treme north of the country. “In June, 1876,1 was separated, according to legal form sanctioned by the clerry of Rus sia, from my wife and children, and with head shaved on one aide and twenty-eight pounds of iron attached to me, I was sent with other alleged criminals to the Central prison at Moscow. The journey lasted fourteen months, and during that time tha knout was used freely ,n the prisoners. Our deatination was Nerts- hinsk. and on arriving were assigned to dif ferent gold mines. In the mines 1 worked tailing his sorrows, his efforts to get home, hi* failures, his ill health, and his final conclusion that fate was against him, followed by n re lapse into indifference. Wednesday morning tho city was electrified to sco him on thostroi-i. Before noon his son, now almost a middle aged man, came for him and took him to tho home of his former wife, where to many friends lie detailed his romantic experience, which Is al most beyond belief. Mr*. Vouch, his wife, expressed herself ns ?lad of his return, and the meeting is said to [iave been most afVeeting. It is thought r second wedding will fully reunite theMc Should it occur, Volney \Vllsori and Ids ' wife will again hold the pluce of honor they held almost a half coutury ago. Ilia Ova Das or. Rous *t Both Exns.—One ilay last week John McCouth. of Bethel, Sul livan county, looked out of his front door and saw a big bear walking leisurely by in the road. McCouth** gun was loaded with bird shot. He fired both barrels at the boar, which stopped, looked back at McCouth, and then proceeded on his journey. Then McCouth charged his gun with a double land of lewder and three bullets. The next day a neighbor of McCouth’* saw tho bear tramping around in his rye field. He scut hi* boy out with a dog to drive bruin away. Tho boy set the dog on the bean, and it left the field and started bock toward McCouth’*. The latter waa weed ing in his garden in the afternoon. He heard a peculiar snort, and, looking up, saw tho bc-ur standing a rod or so away in a l*enn patch watching McCouth'* movements. The ramie went into hi* house and brought out his gun. The bear remained pawing about in the beau patch. McCouth fired. Hi* wife wo* looking on from the door. The bear and McCouth both fell, the bear iu its tracks, and the far mer some feet back of where ho had stood. Neither farmer nor bear made any effort to rise. Mr*. McCouth rau out to her husband. Blood was streaming from his nose, and he was unconscious. She brought him to by dashing water in his face. The bear was dead, shot through the?lungs. The rebound of the gun had been so great, owing to the heavy charge, that it had “kicked” McCouth into uncon sciousness and dislocated his shoulder. The bear was thin, but very large. The skin was S ure based by John Layton, a New York rummer, for $9, enough to pay McCouth'* doctor bill.—New York Sun. FORD TO BE PROSECUTED.
