THE SOUTHERN WORLD, NOVEMBER 16,1882. an idea or two. The little girls were never satisfied unless their rag dollies were dressed in war paint and feathers, and their play houses were filled with warriors and squaws. “In July, after a most delightful visit, we started home. When we readied Indian Springs—then a fashionable resort—we found that Ohillie Mackintosh, the son of the good chief, Mackintosh, who was killed by hos tile Indians for his amity to the whites, was putting up at the hotel. He was returning from Washington where lie had been to con fer with the Government concerning the lands. Chillie rode in a close carriage,' driven by a white man, and had with him his two wives, a white woman and a squaw. The white wife was terribly jealous of the poor Indian woman, and treated her with great unkindness. “After leaving the Springs, we came to a beautiful cornfield owned by an Indian. Your grandfather offered to buy some roast ing ears but the Indian refused to sell them. That evening when we reached the 'stand,’ the landlord told us the Indians were going to have their green-corn dance in the neigh borhood that night. This explained the In dian’s unwillingness to part with his corn; he would never consent to have it gathered before the dance came off. “The green-corn dance is a kind of relig ious ceremony, and corresponds to the Jew ish Feast of Ingathering, though there seemed to be very little religion about the 'big Injuns’ who lay half drunk against the logs, in an open space in the woods where we found them the next moruing. “One of the most amusing sights was a large Indian with a tremendous bunch of feathers on his head, and painted in a fan tastic manner, who, sealed by a young squaw on a log, was fanning her with a turkey-tail fan in the most sentimental style. “The next ‘stand’ was kept by the chief Black Hawk. Your grandfather asked me if I would not like to see an Indian princess; so we called upon the chief's family. They were just preparing for their green-corn dance, and the chiefs daughter, an intelli gent, good-looking girl, was makiug a calico dress—a white ground with great red figures all through it—to Wear upon the qccasion. She did not quit her sewing when we en- tered, but worked on as industriously and awkwardly as possible; for the poor girl was sewing without a thimble. I sent Mary, my id, for hers, and taught the young Indian girl the use of it. Her delight and gratitude for the little gift were unbounded. The squaws and children gathered round to see the wonder, and such trying on, such smiles of approbation as that thimble received, 1 am sure no other thimble has ever been treated to since they were invented. Quite often after that your grandfather would buy succotash, a mixture of green corn and snap beans, and sofky, a kind of fermented horn- iny, from the Indians; but I let him enjoy them all by himself, for I must confess I could never eat Indian mixtures.’’ My grandmother remembers having been in Montgomery in 1835, when the Cberokees passed through that city on their way west of the Mississippi. Many of the chiefs and warriors of the tribe were in chains, and the look of sullen endurance and suffering on the faces of this exiled people was extremely touching. It is true the United States had paid them $5,262,251, but the Government sbemed to act upon the principle of pay and humiliate, .too. I was once acquainted with a Swede who had been adopted by the Osage Indians. He was u friend of John Boss, the celebrated chief of tho Cherokees, and gave me his name in the .Cherokee language—it was written nounced, Koh-weh-s-koh Swamp Sparrow. His fcewmross, was named Te-tah-te, 77icli means Spoon. My informant was himself called by the Cherokees, Te-kaw wha-lees-ky, which signifies, The man who writes orders for flour. John Howard Payne, author of “Home, Sweet Home,” was a warm, personal friend of John Ross, who will be remembered os the celebrated chief of the Cherokees. At the time the Cherokees were removed from their homes in Georgia to their present possessions west of the Mississippi river, Payne was spending a few weeks in Georgia with Ross, who was occupying a miserable cabin, hav ing been forcibly ejected from his former .home. A number of prominent Cherokees were in prison, and that portion of Georgia in which the tribe was located, was scoured by armed squads of the Georgia militia, who had or ders to arrest alt who refused to leave the country. While Ross and Payne were seated before -.the fire in the hut, the door was suddenly burst open and six or eight militia men sprang into the room. Ross’s wife was seated on a trunk containing many valuable papers and a small amount of money, and at the unexpected intrusion she sprang up and screamed wildly. Ross spoke to her in the Cherokee language, telling her to be seated, she would save the contents of the trunk, and as she thus sat down again, the intrud ers told Ross that he and Payne were under arrest and must prepare to accompany the squad to Milledgeville, where they were to be imprisoned. The soldiers lost no time in taking their prisoners awuy. Ross was per mitted to ride his own horse, while Payne was mounted on one led by a soldier. As tlie little party left the hovel, rain began falling and continued until every man was drenched thoroughly. The journey lasted all night. Toward midnight, Payne's escort, in order to keep himself awake, began humming “Home, home, sweet, sweet home,” when Payne remarked: “Little did I expect to hear that song un der such circumstances and at such a time. Do you know the author?” “No," said the soldier. “Do you?" “Yes," answered Payne; “I composed it.’* "The devil you did. You can tell that to some fellows, but not to me. Look here, you made that song you say; if you did— and I know you didn’t—you can say it all without stopping. It has something in it about pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in and reel it off, and if you can’t I’ll bounce you from your horse and lead you instead of it.” The threat was answered by Payne, who repeated the song in a slow, subdued tone, and then sang it, making the old woods ring with the tender melody and pathos of the words. It touched the heart of the rough soldier, who was not only captivated but convinced, and who said that the composer of such a song should never go to prison if he could Help it. And when the party reached Milledgeville they were, atter a pre liminary examination, discharged, much to their surprise. Payne insisted it was be cause the leader of the squad had been under the magnetic influence of Ross’s conversa tion, and Ross insisted that they had been saved from insult and imprisonment by the power of "Home, Sweet Home," sung as only those who feel can sing it. The friendship existing between Ross and Payne endured until the grave closed over the mortal remains of the latter. reHDiuMruiiYAnuto TH»r.Hoasm Ftvwwouia sura irr compuxion ro> un, MLuiirsBLQOMOrYoimi SsSomnr SECRET junct to betuty lady appears hatd-wms.

Take two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of milk, one even teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the milk ; hot water nmy be used instead of milk, if it is thought ad visable; use flour enough to make a soft dough, roll thin and bake in a quick oven. Potato balls are very nice for breakfast. Boil them, and while still warm mash them until there are no lumps left; then mix but ter, pepper, salt, a little chopped parsley, and one or more raw eggs; beat these to gether thorpugbly, then mould in balls, dip in beaten eggs and then in flour, and fry in butter. A delicious stuffing for any fowl, but espe cially for the delicately-flavored chicken, or any of the small fowls, is made by taking about two dozen oysters; chop them very fine, and mix them with two cups of fine bread crumbs, or powdered crackers. A full ounce of butter is required. A tablespoon- ful of chopped parsley, a little grated lemon peel, plenty of salt and black pepper, a sus picion of cayenne pepper; mix these thoroughly; that is half the secret of success in cooking, to have the ingredients which compose a dish so blended that it is impos sible to tell precisely of what it is composed. This stuffing should be moistened with a lit tle of the oyster liquor, and the beaten yolk of one egg.
