From The Naval Reserve Bows
At HattcraS.
HATTERAS, N. c.,
June 2Ist, 1898.

June 2Ist, 1898.
Mr.. EDITORIALS I have
promised my friends at home to
let them hear from me and the
other boys from E. City, I have
to say,in my opinion we are par
ticularly fortunate, in being sta
toned at Hatteras during the
hot months Of summer, On one
side of us, wild old ocean roars
and washes the shores while on
the other side, the placid Pam
lico reposes. Delightful sea bree-
yes fan our brow the live long day
and we enjoy in idle moments the
pleasures of piscatory persuits
which made happy the soul of
famous old "Isaac Walton" We
have here a health-giving cli-
mate. There is no summer resort
in the United States, that can
surpass Hatteras in what nature
has done. The wealth of a NILS
lionaire can give himself no
greater pleasure than one can
have here. There is everything
around us to make us contented
and happy AS for our food, no
one can have any better SO far
as fish and other salt water pro
ducts are concerned. What more
can one want than health and a
ear ,nscience? We may AGA
quir health, and keep 1t after
we get it unless we deliberately
lose it. The people among whom
we have been fortunate to be
art kind, clever, and hospitable.
TAey are good honest North
Carolinians and though all of
them may not be as polished and
refined III conversation as college
graduates, they are people Of
good round sense and mother
wit; and as Patrick Henry used
to say to the Virginia mountain
|eers "nateral part, is worth
more than any book larnin on
yearth." They have the natural
part which many a bookish man
lacketh. Some of the greatest
men in the world were ignorant
of books. Attella with his lords
the great Roman Emperor didn't
know a letter. England's great.
est General, diplomat and hnan'
cier, Marlboro, was ignorant of
books, and could just read and
write. Our own General Morgan
of the Revolutionary war could
neither read or write but he
knew how to lead men and win
victories. The brains were
| made before books and the
| world had great men before LETT
tiers were invented. The people
are naturally bright aud intelli-
gent, and they are good citizens
with good blood in their veins
such as make good soldiers as
we'll as good citizens. All who

Then the woman was tortured to death.

Then the woman was tortured 70 death.
Finally they began upon me- They
tied Goals Of fire upon my head and
left them there until tainted When
1 came to they put on fresh ones.
When I refused to open my mouth
they smashed my upper jaw and knock
ed out my teeth with a hatehet. Then
a squaw grasped my tongue with a
rough pair Of wooden pincers and drag
ged me over the ground in that way,
to the great merrlment OF those who
were looking on. They tied my hands
to a stake, and then, stretching my
body with al their strength, tied my
feet to another. Then the squaws beat
the soles Of my feet until every bone
was broken and the flesh was jelly.
"a big buck thrust dull lance
through my thigh, pinning me 10 the
earth. But, these are only a small por-
ton Of the toTtures they inflicted upon
me while 1 lay there helpless. The
bucks, squaws and boys all joined in
shooting arrows into me, and at last,
when they must have thought could
not endure much more, they tied me
on an ant mount, to be eaten by the
large red ants. Horrible as the other
tortures had been, this was the worst
OF them all. My breast is still one big
running sore where the ants gnawed
my flesh. 1t has never healed.
my tOrtures lasted three days, and
every hour Of that time seemed an eter-
nifty. If had not been an unusually
strong aud healthy young man, I could
not have lived through it. Before that
time l scarcely knew what sickness
was, bat ever since have suffered from
their work. / still carry in my head
the bullet / received in the battle. Buff
f,lo Bill aud his cowboys rescued me
from the Indians at the end Of three
days aud took me where my wounds
could be dressed"

A prize Of $50, offered by the Charles
ton News and Courier for the hest half
dozen smoke cured hams made in
South Carolina from hogs born at,
November l, 1895, was awarded to
hams cured by the following recipe -
80 100 pounds Of meat, use four quarts
salt, four pounds brown sugar and three
ounces saltpetre. The ingredients to be
well mixed, the salt having been beat
en- fine. When the meat is cold rub in
two thirds of the mixture and pack the
meat in eask. The next day rub in
the remaining third, and put the meat
again into the cask, reversing the pieces
from top TO bottom. Let them remain
three weeks, reversing the pieces once
week. At the end Of two weeks pour
of the liquor in the eask, boil aud skim
ill clear, and when cool pour IL over
the meat again. At the end Of three
weeks wash the meat in hot water,
wipe dry and smoke it three weeks,
after which bag and hang it up" Those
who cure their own hams might do
well to preserve this recipe, bat We
would suggest that the length Of time
for remaining in the brine and that re-
quired for the smoking might vary
little according to the size Of the hams,
as the small ham or shoulder would be
cured a little quicker than the large
ham, Something might also depend
upon the taste of those who intended
TO eat it, as some want but little salt,
and Others but little smoke. But the
recipe is good one as it il.

The Shynsss of Grant.

Gen. Grant neither Overestimated
nor dis.rusted himself. He was mod
est, aud incliaed to claim less than his
due, but ne was also sclfreliant and per-
sistent. An anee lote related by Mrs.
Sherwood in her "Epistle to Posterity"
sets forth his disposition to accord to
Others their due and to claim little for
himself save the virtue of getting
there" says the Chicago Record.
Mrs. Sherwood told him on one occa-
sion that an English officer who had
been present at the dinner given him
by the duke Of Wellington in the Wa
terlOO chamber had told her in Lon
don that he thought him a very learned
soldier.
"Well, I am not, said Grant, "I had
neither the genius OF Sherman, nor the
learning Of Lee or Macpherson. only
meant to get there
In 1865, just after the close Of the
war, Gen. Grant visited West Point,
his cid alma mater, accompanied by
Mrs. Grant.
"We were in the library" writes
Mrs. Sherwood ''the examination was
going on, and Prof. Bartlett left the
room, coming back with Grant on his
arm. The professors rose to receive
him. think poor Gen. Grant nearly
sank through the fl jOr he WINGED as

A Team of American Eagles.

Some curious propositions relating to
dying machines, writes a Washington
correspondent, have lately been receiv-
ed by the esignal corps Of the army, in
which the use Of birds is recommended
as a means Of propulsion. One Of the
propositions suggests that a team Of
American eagles be yOked together,
while a maa sits comfortably in a pat
ent chair and guides their flight. The
eagles will be either refined and driven
Ike two horses, or else, if this plan
fails, the inventor thinks he can steer
himself and the birds 10y some sort Of a
rudder run out astern.
This same inventor also proposes that
storks be used. The man in this case
drives his team Of twelve full-grown
stOrks, six abreast. illustration rep
reseuts the inventor comfortably seated
in balloon holding the reins on his
feathered team and guiding them at
his will.
