 Colonel J. T. Chidester, proprietor and operator of stage line from Fort Worth to Fort Yuma, in Arizona territory, was a jolly kind of chap, whole-souled, and full of vim and fun. Coming up from Fort Worth to Dallas, he told how he made fortune by betting on General Zach Taylors election to the presidency. Said he: "I bet everything had, money, house and home, farm, pasture land, stock, wagons, harness, clothes, and everything you could think of. As long as had credit bet it. Then one day bet my hat, coat, vest, pantaloons and shoes, and 1 was five miles from home at that But was sure Taylor would be elected. bet on his election {; on his election by different msjorities {; on his living to be elected, and had side bets of all sorts and shapes. In those days used to drive round-this was in
 Mississippi-with band of music and six-pounder cannon, and tell you we had rousing times and stirring speeches
 But my man got elected, as l. knew he would, and calculated when figured it up-for had a clerk to keep track of my bets-that had won eighty thousand dollars in gold. l collected all of the bets too. One man didn't like to give up mule he had bet-it was the only mule he had-and so l took his mule and gave him another and better one and to-day he writes me every month and says what good fellow am. And when l knew ] had won kept open house fora week and invited the whole county. Il had charcoal made by the thousand bushels, and oxen cooked whole in trenches. don't know how long. decorated every post, flag. pole, chimney, lightning-rod, and tree-top in that vicinity with the American flag, and when the flags gave out sent for more.

man, he could not stop drinking now, and so, in moment, he threw away the last chance he will probably ever have to brace up, too weak to resist the hellish temptation that is dragging so many to the grave, and to-day he is wandering the streets of Chicago, figuring as to which garment of ours he will pawn next for drink, going lower every day, until he viii find a grave in the potter's field. In his delirium we wonder if he ever thinks of the wife and two little girls in Canada, who wrote "papa" such touch ing letters while he was here, expressing such gladness that he had secured em- ployment and was so warmly clothed. Or does the demon drink blot out mem- ories of home and all its hallowed associa- lions2 If it does, what is drink good for, and why is it drank2 If the good Lord will take our protege by the collar and jerk some sense into him, and all appe- tite for liquor out of him, we will stand the wear and tear on the clothes But does ii pay to lay aw Ike nights trying to think of some way to reform such hope. less cases?

He was pursued At last, breathless, worn out so he could run no further, he halted and turned. 1 give his own words to me of what then occurred:

 The two men crawled on through the swamp and go. down by daylight to San. abel island, swimming across the narrow channel to its sandy shore. The next day we ran in there for water in the Otsego and found Harney and his soldier almost stark naked on the beach, both hungry and thirsty, but thankful for life
 And this is known in Florida war history as the Massacre on the Caloosa- hatchie." The reason of the surprise was, that there was temporary truce between the Indians and whites, and feeling no danger, the sentinels were few and care less. After that Harney planned and car. red out a raid on the Everglades in which twenty-seven buck Indians were killed or captured-and all of them hung as soon as in our hands. We captured about thirty squAws and children, who were held as prisoners till sent west. I was on the raid. In it the late General Ord was shot through the shoulder. He was then second lieutenant in the Third artillery. General Sherman, now retired, was third lieutenant in the same regi- ment at the time.

HARNEY'S RACE FOR LIFE.
Ned Buntline, in New York World.

Ned Buntline, in New York World. The Woyids mention of the veteran General Harney, and his recent marriage was read by me with interest. Foul years hard service with him in the Florida war and nearly two in Mexico closely associated with him most of the time, give me a right to knowledge oi him as he was.
 In 1858, when was a midshipman, acting lieutenant on board the United States schooner Otsego, on the Florida coast, he was lieutenant-colonel of the Second United States Dragons, under Colonel Twiggs. It was the only cavalry regiment in the war, and Phil Kearney, Charles May and Billy Fulton, the father of Chandos Fulton, prominent now in your city, were then in the regiment. could fill your columns for weeks with incidents of gallantry in wich this regi- ment, the old Third Artillery and the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Infantry were prominent.
 But to come back to Harney. He looked every inch soldier, end he stood six feet three inches in his boots. He was not handsome. He vas stalwart, manly, ever impetuous in word and action. He and Twiggs swore races. Twiggs generally came out first best" General Harney, though retired, is the oldest general in the army. could give you a hundred stirring incidents of his fighting life, but will close with only one, which the general will vouch for as true.
 In I83o he had post with two com papies of the Second Dragons on the Caloosahatchie river about ten or fifteen miles above its mouth. It enters the Gulf of Mexico at Sanabel Island. The men were mostly in tents. There was a small stockade, suffers store and a temporary store-house in the encamp- ment.
 In the middle of hot night-I forget the precise date-the Seminoles, numbe.. ing three or four hundred, under Arpiaka, the Fish Eater, and Billy Bowlegs, sur prised the post Colonel Hamey, in con- sequence of the heat and mosquitoes, had taken his blanket and left his quarters to sleep on knoll on the river bank, where the cool breeze swept over the water. This alone saved his life. He was awak- ened in the dead of night by the yeils of the Indians, the firing of guns and the shrieks of his dying men. The houses and tents were fired, the soldiers killed before they could offer resistance-in short, it was . massacre of the soldiers not an Indian killed in tho whole affair.
 Harney, in his shirt and drawers with out a weapon, could only run for life. Capture would be death by the crnelest torture. He ran down the rivsr, through a dense swamp, the Indian yells filling the night air and believing them close ca
