more urgently, his brow writhed. and his
dark eye seemed to shoot sparkle Of livit
FIRE He could write with astonishing
correctness and facility, considering hi.
situation and although denied the exqui
site pleasure and priceless advantages o.
the sense Of hearing, nature had given hin
ample compensation. by an eye quick and
lar seeing a. an eagles, and smell keen
and incredible a. that Of q raven. He
could discover objects moving miles away
in the Far of prairie. when others could
perceive nothing but earth and sky; and
the rangers used to declare that he eoult
distinguish the odor Of a dead carcass.
1t vas these qualities which fitted him 40
we'll for a spy. in which capacity he fen-
dered invaluable services to Houston's ar.
my during the war Of Independents. He al
ways went alone, and generally obtained
the inform alton desired. His habits in pri-
vn,e life were equally singular. He could
never be persuaded 10 s!eep under the socf
Of house, or even TO use 4 ten,-cloth.
Wrapped in his blanket. he loved TO lie ou.
10 the open air. under the blue canopy Of
pure ether, and count the stars. or gaze
with ysarning look at the melancholy
moon. When not employed As q spy or
guide, he subsis,ed BY hunting. being often
absent on solitary excursions for weeks
and even months together ir the wider
ness. He was q genuine son Of nature. a
grown NJ child Of the woods and prairie.
~hich he worshiped With sort Of Pagan
alteration. Excluded bv his infrmi,ies
from cordial fellowship wiki his kind. he
made the inanima,e things of,he earth his
friends. and entered by the hearts own ad-
option into brotherhood with The lumins ries
of heaven! Wherever there wss land or
wa,er. barren mouniains.or tangled brakes,
or Wild waving cane there was Deal Smiths
home. and there he was happy bu. in the
streets Of great cities. in all the great tho.
ruughfares Of men, wherever there vas
Aauery or iawning, base cunning or craven
fear, there was Deaf Smith an alien and
an exile.
Strange soul he hath departed on the
long journey. away among those high
brigh, stars which we're his night lamps
and he hath either solved o. ceased to pom
