FLORlDA's OLDEST .INHABITANT.

Sailing back, we were treated to
the sight of an alligator fifteen feet
long, summing himself on hammock of
yellow grass, The wrinkle under
meath his lower jaw gave him good
humored look, and he seemed actual
ly TO smile at the bullets around him.
The alligator is by no meanss trihing
enemy; and the Floridian tells strange
stories of the creature's strength,
fleetness, and strategy. An alligator
hunter in Jacksonville gave me an
idea OF these characteristics, some,
what after the following fashion:
''The gaiter, sir, is ez quick ez light
min, and ez nasty. He kin outswim
a deer, and he hez dun it, TOO; he
swims more'n two thirds out O. water.
and when he ketches you, sir, he jest
wabbles you right over n'hundred
times. or mo-, sir ez quick ez the
wind; and you're dead in no time, sir
when n dog sees one he allus begins
TO yelp, sir for a gaiter is mighty fond
of a dog and a Niger, sir. Nobody
can't ttll how old them old fellows Is.
sir; l reckon nigh on to hundred
years, them biggest ones. Thar some
old devils in the lagoons You see of
the ST. Johns; they lie thar very
quiet, but it would be good tussle
il one of you was out thar in a small
boat, sir. They won't always fight;
sometimes they run away very meek;
the best way to kill'om Is to put a
ball in the eye, sir; thar's no use in
wasting shot on a CATERS hide.
When The boys wants sport, sir, they
git long green pole, and sharpen
i; N they fnd a CATERS hole in the
marsh, and put the pole down it, then
The 'gaiter he snaps at IL, n hangs on
TO It, n the boys get together, N pull
Him out, n put rope aroun his neck,
And set him to fghLin' with another
gaiter. 0 Lord reckon 'twould
make yo har curl to see the tails hy.'

Cheesman and 80 or 40 of his men,
who were quartered in the neighbor-
hood. But the rising glory Of Guam
trell drew them over into Kansas
again, where McWaters found con-
genial work in the sacking and burn
ing of Lawrence.
Quantreil afterward carried his
free hooters into Arkansas; and there
they fell out among themselves over

Anderson drew away from Quantrell,

THE SCENE

When his devoted wife and two pret-
ty children were torn away from him,
and he was ironed for the peniten-
tiary, was such as the hardest hearts
could not contemplate, and the Off
GERS of the court shed tears. Nc
Waters himself broke down; and the
spirits of his many CORY victims must
have tortured his memory like "the
worm that never dies, and the voice
of condemnation thundered in his
ears, "The way of the transgressor
is hard"

AT THE PISTOL 8 MOUTH,

Drove the guards into the cage, lock-
ed them in, and escaped on horses
which had been placed outside by
friends.
In the Indian nation the men sep
arated in bad blood; and McWaters,
for whom large reward was offered,
was again caught at Hays City, Kan
sas. But while the Sheriffs posse
was making the prison safe for him,
he executed the old maneuvre, and
suddenly shut six Of them inside,
while he escaped on the Sheriff s
horse.
He then made his way northward
among the Blackfoot Indians, and
shot one Of them dead over q bottle
Of Whiskey, and has bis blankets yet
with the bullet holes, he running the
gauntlet Of the whole tribe.

A FAIR HEROINE
named Jennie MaY6eld.

At the close of the war we find
McWaters keeping a saloon in Platte
City, where he shot q man, and his
friend, John Taylor, was shot by the
police. He then escaped to st. Joe,
which was seething with desperadoes
from all parts, where his other
friend, Fletch Taylor was shot dead
by the police, and McWaters, in re-
turn shot the policeman.
By the aid Of confederates, he got
out of Missouri and came to Wyo-
ming, in this county, where roman
tic attachment sprung up between
him and a beautiful young lady, who
was to have married his friend, Fletch
Taylor, and he was the groomsmar,
and they were on their way up when
the afray took place in ST. Joe,
which ended the career Of Fletch
Taylor. Miss Susie Davis welded
McWaters, and, through thick and
thin, has idolized her husband
the one bright picture In TINS MARIA
tive.
Two years ago McWaters shot DR..
Wolfe dead in a row in Wyoming;
and soon after, his brother-in-law,
Woodson, who is a cousin Of Cover
nor Woodson, of Missouri, shot Bar
low dead. and is now serving term
in the penitentiary for it. McWa-
ters was cleared. But about a year
afterward John Crook and he shot
and killed an innocent man in Dold's
saloon, iD this city. They were
caught and shut up in an iron cage,
where it seemed they were safe
for trial. But one evening, when
the guards were shifting them, they

little town of Sparta, in Baker coun-
ty, Oregon, where he visited a rela-
tiSe, and had
A FAMOUS NEEDLE-GUN,
With which he murdered man
named Geo. Weed, with whom he
had a quarrel in a gambling-house.
The man had gone off some distance,
but had on q soldiers blue coat, and
McWaters could not resist the temp
tation of letting fly q charge at his
brass buttons, shooting him in the
back, and escaping to Sacramento
city, with a new reward of 81 900
offered for his arrest.
But all this time Sheriff Fabar, of
Nebraska City, who smarted for his
official honors, had detectives on his
track, and Tom Upper, who once
lived here in the Seymour House
with McWaters, spotted his lurking
places, and he was suddenly
PINIoNED BY THE oFE1cERs OF THE LAW,
And brought back to Nebraska City.
The result has been told. He has
a dozen scars on his person and bull
let-holes in his body, and a dozen
times has escaped from prison; and
his rolicking stories would fill a book.
He is thoroughly educated in deeds
of violence, and never talks about
anything else with relish but "get-
ting the drop" on some one. He
rides like Comanche, and is as cool
aud willy as Modoc Jack. His clear,
steel eye never glows except with the
excitement of an affray, He has a
fine figure, and might have been a
gentleman-Aubrey or a Kit Carson.
But man who always goes around
with pistols to hunt up a fight is no
longer desirable in Nebraska society,
and Judge CAN'T has the praise of
all parties in banishing him to a liv-
ing grave. q ~

Career OF the Murderer of George Weed,
Of Sparta, Oregon.

Our readers will remember the &C.
count, published last fall, of the cold.
'blooded murder of an esteemed
young man named George Weed, al
the village Of Sparta, in Baker coun.
ty, and the escape of the assassinj
who was captured in California and
taken to Nebraska to answer fol-
crimes committed by him before his
coming to Oregon, The murderers
name is VIM. McWaters, and his
career is briefly told in the following
letter to the Chicago Times:
NEBRAsKA Cry, Dec. "a Our
District Court has just adjourned,
and the notorious desperate, VIM.
McWaters, has just been sentehced
to twenty-one years at hard labor in
the Lincoln Penitentiary, and the
ponderous gates have hidden the
criminal from the world in which he
regarded human life no more than a
sportsman does a prairie chicken.
He was young in years, but gTadu-
ated early among the bush-whackers
of Missouri, and is known from Ne
braska to Oregon as the terrible Nc

Just such characters as figure in dime
novels and fill up the measure of
glory in saloon literature. His his
tory will be written and go down to
posterity with that of John A. Muir
rill and other disturbers of society,
and the long night of prison penance
will only throw a deeper interest
around his fate.
William McWaters was born in
Platte county, Missouri, the year
after the great flood, 1874. His
mother was Kentucky woman Of
superior character. But we know
nothing of his early days till at the
moulding age Of twelve years he fol-
lowed the pro-slavery raiders over
into Kansas and
LEARNED TO LOVE BLOOD,
And hate the abolitionists at Osa-
watomia and other skirmishes. In
these pursuits he was kind of free
rover for two years.
Soon after the rebellion broke out
he Joined a company of the boys who
burnt the Platte bridge and precip-
itated Hannibal and St. Joe railroad
train into an awful chasm, killing
many of the passengers, because
Federal soldiers we're among them.
Then he enlisted with Jim Giddins'
band, and fought under General
Price for six months. On coming
back home to Bee Creek, he found
the family residence burnt, his faith
er and brother killed by the militia,
and the rest Of the family driven off
in Punishment. So he associated
himself with Bill Anderson, John and
Fletch Taylor, and other desperate
bushwhackers, and resolved to sacri-

the Chancellor retorted that he also want
ed to cry "Pfuil" but was prevented by
good manners. Herr Windhorst's replv
in substance was that the Prince, by Civ
ing a cue to his papers to attack all Ultra
montanes, had brought DR.. J6rg's assault
upon himself.
On the 9Th inst. Prince. Bismarck de-
Tended the abolition of the post of Envoy
to the Vatican, by alleging that the war
of 1870 had been brought on by the Pope
and the J%esuits, who overbore Napoleon
III when he was hesitating-as if Napo-
leon had been fdae-and that the Papal
Nuncio at Munich in 1869, Mo~nsignore
Meglia, had said to the Wurtemburg En-
voy there that "the Church was free only
in America, and perhaps England and Bel
GUM, but hat elsewhere her chance of
regaining her rightful position rested on
revolution" This statement, in itself of
little importance, as it has repeatedly been
made by Protestants, is, according to the
Soir, denied by Monsignore Meglia, who
is now in Paris but according to the Uni
gers, a much better authority, Monsignore
Meglia has made, and will make, no reply.
AS Herr Varnb1Ier, then Premier 10 Wur-
temburg, aud a man Of the highest char
acter, states that the remark was sent to
him by his agent in Munich, it probably
was made, but it is difficult to see why it
so bitterly offends Prince Bismarck. Every
body has always known that the Vatican
cares nothing about forms Of govern ment,
and would, especially since the fall of the
Temporal Power, just is soon rely on demo-
%cracies as on Princes. To foment revolution
and to wish we'll to revolution ere two
entirely different matters.
--O-
The French Assembly is about, it is
stated, to adjourn on the 10th inst. for TWEEN
ty-one days. The reasons assigned for this
unusual delay of business are that. Paris
ian tradesmen want to get quietly through
their traffic on New Years Day, and that
many of the Government Bills arc not
quite ready, but the real reason is prob
ably a wish to gain time for combinations
which may make it possible for the AS
sembly to act. At present the Left Centre
has split into two fractions of nearly equal
strength, one inclining towards the Left
and dissolution, and the other towards the
Right Centre and NJ. Ernest Picard's pro-
ject of dissolution by thirds.
1t was supposed last week that Marshal
Serrano was on his way to the North with
a large army, and that the Carlists were
in straits, an idea confirmed by a letter
from the Bishop of Urgel abandoning the
Carlist cause, but the Marshal has not
gone. He has remained in Madrid raising
money, while General Iona has marched
from St. Sebastian upon Oyarzunn. and has
been defeated and forced to retire. The
reports of a coming AIfonsist movement
have been rife all the week, but Serrano
seems not to be in the plot, and it can
hardly be announced until the Carlists
have been beaten in some battle. There
is talk of a " transaction " to be effected
by bribing Carlist Generals, but there has
been talk of that for'months. and the end
seems to be as far off as ever.
