SOME UNINTELLIGIBLE OBSERVATIONS.
treme southern states, Georgia and the
Carolinas, as in the New England states.
When people began to talk about the poll
tics Of slavery, and the hardest name the
old Wings and Democrats called each 9TH
er when they exerted themselves in abuse
was ''abolitionist," sought an opinion
from my grandfather about slavery, and
his exact and only words were "Slavery
Is curse, particularly to the white peo-
ple." I am representative Of the Ohio
mingling Of the blood of the north and
south, my fathers people being from
North Carolina, on the Albemarle sound,
and my mothers from Pennsylvania, on
the Susquehanna.
The world got at last to encroaching on
Paddy's Run Some of the young people,
and among them cousins of mine fell
into the dangerous fashion Of cultivating
music Two of my cousins were young
men, both of whom, it might be said, were
lively in disposition. They had right to
be, for they we're sons of departed minis
ter Of the gospel, who had been many years
in bad health and made things solemn.
They resolved to buy fiddle, and did SO,
and sawed on it for awhile to small pur-
pose, but my pretty cousin, their baby
girl sister, who was nearly 16, had a
genius for vio1ins. Her name was Kath-
arine, and it was heavenly to sit by a big
fireplace and hear her play. When she
played, Paddy's Run was an enchanted
valley. Ole Bull was not ''in 1t" with her
at least he did not mako any such I'm
preston on me, long afterward, as she did.
From music the young folks recklessly
proceeded to get up dancing class, and
then there was war. Paddy's Run society
drew the line that separates the sheep and
the goats on dancing, and the worst OF 1t
all was that at ball In Venice, as the
fiddler did not oome-it was slanderously
said he was drunk-my blue Dyed cousin
Katharine played for the dancers, and our
good old grandmother was told OF 1t, and
then there was trouble, and hardly know
what would have happened II benign
aunt had not persuaded grandmother that
1t was not SO bad to play for ones own
friends. I remember she said dancing
might be tolerated among decent people
who knew each other, but it was real
pity katharine played in Venice.
A bout the time the bottom lands were
taken up, there was q rush of southern
immigration, partly caused by the land
lawsuits that disturbed Kentucky titles,
and the hills-seoond choice lands-were
taken by them. As our land was both
hill and bottom, we had concentration,
and the tide water North Carolinians and
Welsh mountainous made an interesting
mixture b4t they did not .ningle rapidly.

A Lost Type.
Oh, for glimpse of natural boy
A boy with freckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid Of grace;
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as lobster when
You give him word Of praise;
A boy who was born with an appetite;
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his "piece" with resounding smack
Who isn't gone on himself:
A Robinson Crusoe" reading boy
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the use of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash. 90
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair.
With hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room to spread.
But he doesn't dub his father told man."
Nor deny his mothers call,
Nor ridicule what his elders say,
Or think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF good old fashioned clay;
God bless him, If he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day.

Philometh vanished from my gaze be-
cause the minister of the Congregational
church In New London consented to teach
an academic school. He was himself a
boy, whose mother was widow, and he
was so handsome and clever some ladies

mother If she would not let him be edu-

she would consent, and she did so And
the ladies were right about the boy. He
had far ringing voice and persuasive
manner and was of many happy distinc-
tions. He was shining example Of a
man whose mind had been improved in
the days of his youth and intensified the
public passion for that sort of thing. His
school became the fresh feature in the life
of our valley, and I was one of his pupils.
He heard me read my first composition

after all did something toward pacifying
the neighborhood about the duty of i'm
proving the mind. The preacher did not
rub things into the mind raw and rough
ly. He got the boys and girls interested,
and there was no trouble about discipline.
He did not talk to them about their con-
founded minds all the while. He was
young and joyous, though he had sor-
rows, and it was worth while to win his
appreciation. But he had his church du-
ties and did not care to interfere with the
district schools. He married one Of the
schoolgirls and moved away to larger
fields. Philcmeth became faraway coun-

The Old Kentucky Hunter Wss . PRISONER
In Their Hands For Months.
Boone frequently took to the field on
set expeditions against the sayages.
Once when he and q party Of other men
were making salt at a lick, they were
surprised and carried off by the Indians.
The old hunter was prisoner with them
for some months, but finally made his
escape and came home through the track
less woods as straight as the wild pigeon
flies He was ever on the watch to ward
off the Indian inroads and to follow the
war parties and try to rescue the pris-
oners. >. gss,S.4 Z u
Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried
off by band of Indians. Boone collected
some friends and followed them steadily
for two days and a night Then they
came to where the Indians had killed a
buffalo calf and were camped. Firing
from little distance, they shot two In
dians, and rushing in rescued the girls.
On another occasion, when Boone had
gone to visit a salt lick with his brother,
the Indians ambushed them and shot the
latter. Boone himself escaped, but the
Indians followed him for three miles by
the aid Of a tracking dog, until Boone
turned, shot the dog and then eluded his
pursuers. In company with Simon Ken
ton and many Of the noted hunters and
wilderness warriors he once and again
took part in perilous expedite into
the Indian country. Twice bands of In
dams, accompanied by French, Tory
and British partisans from Detroit, bear
ing the flag Of Great Britain, attacked
Boonesboro. In each case Boone and his
fellow settlers beat them off with loss. =
At the fatal battle of the Blue Licks,
in which 200 Of the best rihemen Of
Kentucky were beaten with terrible
slaughter by a great force of Indians
from the lakes, Boone commanded the
left wing. Leading his men, rifle in
hand, he pushed back and overthrow
the force against him. But meanwhile
the Indians destroyed the right wing
and center and got in the rear, so that
there was nothing for Boone's men ex-
cept to flee with all speed

WELLINGTON WAS WARNED,
A Design Which Might Have Materially
Affected the Destiny of Europe.

A Design Which Might Have Materially
Affected the Destiny of Europe.
The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily, with one or two of
his staff, from his headquarters at St.
Jean de Luz, and take his stand on the
top Of a wooded sand hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, on the left bank of the
Adour, which commands view of both
banks and the town itself two miles up
stream. This had been noticed by the
French, who had still command of the
river and the opposite shore, and the
jealous sailor aforesaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan Of entrapping
the great English captain by lying in
ambush for him, with a few men,
among the underground on the sand
dune, which happened to be on neutral
ground just outside the line of French
pickets.
General Thouvenot very honorably de-
cined to sanction this tricky proceeding,
but, seeing through his glasses from the
clock tower Of the cathedral in Bayonne
that it was actually being carried out,
Notwithstanding his disapproval, he sent
a mounted orderly, as fast as he could
gallop, down the road on the left bank
of the river (the present site of the AL
lees Marines) past the French pickets,
to warn Wellington Of his danger The
message was just in time. When within
short distance of the ambush, awaiting
him on the narrow little track winding
up the sand dune, he turned his horse
and moved quietly off in another direc-
