Indians IN Flor. da.

There are to-day within the borders of
Florida about 250 warriors, and, including
women and children, 500 Indians In all,
divided up into four towns or lodges, over
all of whom Young Tiger Tail is the chief.
He is about thirty years OF age. One OF
the Indian towns is in Polk County, on the
west side of the Kissimme River, near Lake
Pierce. These Indians live almost entirely
on the natural resources of the country, such
as deer, turkey, bear, and fish; they make
from the bud of the cabbage palmetto and
bamboo brier root, which they reduce 10 a
pulp by boiling, what may be considered a
substitute for bread, and it is very nutrl-
tious and palatable. They also have small
patches of sweet potatoes, sugar cane; and
corn, but do not rely on the latter produc-
tions. They raise no cattle, but have a
good stock of hogs and ponies on the
range. They dress in. primitive style
FLAPS and gowns), and refuse to civilize,
but are perfectly harmless. Notwilhstand
ing they live almost entirely without shelter.
sickness is almost unknown among them,
and they live TO ripe old age. Another
town is on Fisheating Creek, near Lake
Okeechobee AT this place the council
meet annually to make laws and punish
crime, and at which meeting Tin June)they
have their ''green-corn dance" Another
town is found on the opposite side of the
Klssimme, at what is known as '.Alpa-
tioka." Another is near Shackleford, ,on the
Everglades, west side, fifty miles below
the Gallo sahateh;e River. Another town
on the east coast near the Mama River.
Over each of these four towns at the annual
or ''green corn dance, chief is elected or
appointed who reigns supreme for the COM
| ing year. The chief thus selected yearly
| is tho man who has killed the most bears
during the year, this being the qualif1ca-
ton necessary for the candidate. There
are no people who punish more severely
for either adultery or fornication, by cut
ting the ears and nose of the man or lash
ing publicly the female. To this grand
council the criminals from all the towns
are brought, tried, and punished. Slavery
still exists in Florida, aud the shareholders
are the Seminole Indians, who still hold
several, and would like to purchase more,

sam Houston.


Bowyer Miller, man OF admirable char
aotor and education, whey he had con-
cluded his legal studies decided to estab-
hsh himself in Tennessee. 1t was soon at
ter the war Of 1Sl2-lsl4, and in visiting
the circuit judges TO obtain their certificate
of professional qualification, he fell in with
Sam Houston, fresh from the campaigns OF
Alabama and elsewhere in the gulf States,
In which he had accompanied General
Jackson and who had determined to adopt
the profession of law. The young men
were at once confidential, and HoustOR
frankly avowed his own educational def
ciencies and limited opportunity of qualify
ing himself, occupied AS he had been for the
few years preceding the eXcitements OF the
war.
MILLER, said he, 81 shall tell the judges
that they needn't expect much learning
from me. We shall be examined at the
same time. Ii question of difficulty is
asked don't be bashful; answer it. Leave
those that are easy to me. ana not at all
jealous"
Miller, who was well-qualifed, was
amused, and promised TO do anything in
his power TO aid him:
Arriving at the residence of the first
judge, this agreement was kept up. Hous-
ton invariably introduced the examination
by narrative of something connected
with the war, and with jocular admission
of his own difficulties in pursuing his legal
theories. A question having been asked
upon the abstruse common law doctrine of
executory DEGREES and contingent remind
ers, MIR. Miller modestly repeated the ex-
position of his authorities, and the judge
amplified the reply with remarks upon the
channel of judicial decisions.
We are not to suppose that the exami-
nations were very technical CT strict. AT
succeeding examination, however, Hous-
ton in reply to question upon the same
subject took up the reply and repeated the
information that he had acquired, and
when they called on the last judge Hou-
ston observed that the two preceding ex.
alninatlons must have been satisfactory,
and Judge White gave his signature and
made the young man stay all night
Within two years from that time Hou-
ston had been elected esther as State OF
District Attorney, while Miller, disceur-
aged at the prospect of his professional
success, returned to Virginia.
