Col John Mel, of Tennessee.

Gel. John Neil was born and raised in
pine tent, on the banks of the Cumberland
river. AT the age Of fifteen he ran away
from his father, and made his way to the
wilderness of Texas, lie there adopted
the profession of arms, which he never
more relinquishcd. He was Captain of
Rangers, Col, of militia, u guardsman to
Mexican traders and general thief catch
er for the SAeriiTs of many countless and
yet bravcr, warmer, more generous
heart, never beat in human bosom.
Shortly after he went to Texas, while at
the Star Hotel in Houston, he got into a
dispute with Seth Allen, noted blacklcg
and duelist Allen was tall meagro ath-
letic fellow, with thin face and hughe mus.
tache. Getting offended at some remark
made by Col. Neil, Allen raised his foot
to kick the Col, when the latter, quick as
thought caught the foot in his right hand,
and then stopping, suddenly thrust his
head between Aliens legs, and fairly rails
ed him on his neck, In that position he
trotted of with the famous duelist, and
tossed him into mud hole, while roars of
laughter proceed from the spectators. An
immediate challenge was the result, Col.
Neil accepted tho challenge, chose rifles Of
the largest size, and fixed the distance at
hundred yards,

ing hero, as he took his stand he is too
poor to make good bacon!"
At the first fire he broke Aliens arm,
and SO the affair ended.
But the greatest feat that ever mortal
man achieved was the escape of Neil from
the Mexicaus at the time of the massacre
of Col. Fannin and his men in 1886. Neil

Fannin and his company as prisoners of
war if they would lay down their arms
This Fannin agreed to, and the arms we're
given up. But Neil did not have conf
dence in the promises of the treacherous
foe so he concealed his pair of revolvers
in his boots, and they remained their un-
discovered The result of Fannin's sur
render is familiar with every reader of his
tory. After they had given up their arms
he and his men were marched out in pa-
toons and shot.
Col, Fannin fell among the first victims,
but not SO the giant Neil. With the order
of the Mexican officer for his men to fire,
Neil stopped almost to the earth, so that
the volley passed entirely over him. Ho
waited not for second thrust his hand
into the leg Of each boot, he arose with a
couple Of six shooters, the deadly revolv-
crs of Aliens patent, and commenced dis
charging them with the rapidity of light
ming, into the thickest Of his foes, his i'm
mence strength enabling him to pull off
both triggers together.
Panic stricken with surprise and fear tho
Mexicans recoiled and opened passage,
through which Neil bounded, with the
spring of panther, and fed away, as if
wings were tied to his heels, while half a
dozen horsemen gave chase, For a while
it seemed doubtful whether the giant Col.
onel would not distance even these, so
much had the perils of the occasion in

A mad yell of grief and rage broke

galloped afterwards in one body, thereby
greatly retarding their progress, so thai
Neil reached before them. He paused moi
a moment, but plunged headlong dowa the
steep bank into the currant, and struck
off for the other shore. The dragoon:

Morning came, and the desolate children
sat on the shore weeping bitterly. At
length they were filled with joy at the sight
of a canoe approaching the island, But
they, soon discovering that it was filled
with Indians, their delight was changed
into terror, and they fled into the woods.
Believing that the savages had murdered
their father and were now come to seek
them, they crouched under bushes, hiding
in breathless fear, like brood of young
partridges'
The Indians having kindled a fire, sat
down around it and began to cook their
morning meal and the eldest child, as
she pcoped from her hiding place, began
to think they had not killed her father
She reflected that they must inevitably
starvo, if left on this lone island while,
on the other hand, there was possibility
Of being kindly treated by the Indisns.--
The cries, too, of her brother and sister,
who had been begging piteously for food,
had pierced her heart and awakened all
her energy. She told the little ones, over
whose feeble minds her fine spirit had &C.
quired au absolute sway, to get up and 60
with her; then taking hand of each, she
fearlossly led them to the Indian camp FIRE.
Fortunately, the savages understood our
language, and as the little girl had ex-
planned to them what had occurred, they
received the deserted children kindly, and
conducted them to the nearest of our
towns, where they were kept by some be.
nevolent people until their own relations
claimed them.

& Real Incident.

In the autumn Of 1923, a man was de-
scending the Ohio river, with three small
children in canoe. He had lost hiswifc,
ard with the emigration spirit of our peo-
pie, was transferring his all to another
country, whore he might again begin the
world.
Arriving toward evening at G small is
land, he landed them for the night. Af-
ter remaining short time, he determined
to visit the opposite shore, for the pur-
pose, probably, of purchasing provisions
and telling his children that he would soon
return to tn en-, he padded off, leaving
them alone Oh the island. Unfortunately,
he met with some loose companions on the
shore who invited him to drink. He be-
came intoxicated, and in attempting to
cross Che river after night, was drowned.
The canoe aoated away, and no one knew
of the catastrophe until the following day,
The poor, deserted children in the
meanwhile wandered about the uninhabit,
ed island straining their little eyes to get
glimpse at their father. Night came,
and they had no fire nor food-no bed to
res: upon, no parent to watch over them.
The weather was extremely cold, and the
elder child, though but eight years of are
remembered that persons who slept in the
cold were sometimes chilled to death, She
continued to wander about, and when the
younger children were worn out with ia
tiguo and drowSiness, and were ready to
drop into slumber, she kept them awake
by telling them amusing and alarming sto
ries At last nature could hold out no Ion
ger, and the little ones, chilled and aching
with cold, threw themselves on the ground
Then the sister sat down, and spreading
out her garments as wide as possible, drew
them into her lap, and endeayored to i'm.
