The wonderful |irovideneo tlmt saved old Coin lleuiper from lh veiigenueu ol' tin' fonutcliA lixlin i s iliiet-ii or sixteen years ago has been discussed in many a western fort and around many a hunter's euuip lire. That his adventures ware true in every jiar lieular can Ist vouched for hy a dogen liv ing persons to-day, though old Tom himself W!U wiped out a doxen years ago. Ho was a scout, hunter and guide, and lie took a party >i amateur hunters and spoilsmen from Santa Fe down the Canadian river in to Texas and the land of the ('omaele-s. The party ll uuils-reil twenty-two men, some of them ls-ing English tourists, and tliey were undisturbed for t\yo weeks after gif ting ilown to what is called the great elbow of the Canadian. Then Indian signs be came very fresh, and one morning old Tom started out on a scout. Two oilier old hun ters with the party remained in uamp. The Canadian runs alongside of a moun tain range for several hundred miles, and this range is broken with many small val leys and creeks. Tom went to the east us he left camp, keeping ls-twcetl tip' foot hijls and the river. He was on foot ami alert, hut alter a walk of an hour he discovert*! no signs, and had to conclude that the In dians had approached from the other direc tion. Just as ho wag <;ii t|ie |sJut (>' lUfU: ing hack ho found a spring <•( jco cold war ter, and had to lie down on his stomach to reach it and satisfy his thirst. Ho was th inking when rump thing alighted on his hack. He first thought it was a panther, hut the r.ext instant he saw the logging of a red skin and knew that he was a prisoner. When pulled to his feet he found himself ill tlie presence of three Comanche*, who were out after game, Hi* great 'surprise seeine-l to please theiu tmiipuisely, but they oflbron him no violence whatever. Ho was tlrst disarmed, Ids hands then th-d ln-hlnd his back, ami the Indians gave him to under stand that he was to accompany them to their village. While there was no Indian war at that time, the savages were hostile to any and all white men who invaded their domain, aud old Tout swiftly realized that he was in a had sora|e. He could sjM-ult and understood the Comanche dialect with perf-*ct ease, lmt this fact he kept to him self. As they moved away one of Ids cap tors said : "He is an old hunter, and we shall have a good time burning him. He is probably the leader of the party below." "We weut out after deer and raptured a white man," laughed the one addressed. "Keep your eye on htm, for in* is evidently as brave us a liear and as strong as a horse." The prisoner was conducted about three inih-s up the river and a mile to tin- cast, at which point a Comanche village was loca ted. It was in a valley alsjut three miles long and wide, and contained sixty or sev enty lodges. Nearly all the warriors of the >iU>4(L> were awav watching the white par ty, hut as soon as the prlirmer Uu village a messenger w as dispatched to bring tlietij HI. Before noon all had returned,and there was great rejoicing over the capture of the hunter. The head chief of the tribe was expected at the camp on the morrow, and it was decided not to do anything xvitli tlie prisoner until his arrival. Tom was shoved into a lodge and three warriors placed on guard over him. While they evidently feared liiiu they at the same time wanted to keep him frcsli and strong fur the "fun" next day, and they therefore gave Idm plenty to eat and drink and did not even tie Ids hands, lie realized what was Sn store for him if be could not make hisescajH-, but any attempt to take French leave with three warriors on guard would have been Ids death. Every live or six minutes one of them lookixl iuto the hsige, and until a late hour of the night the whole jHipulace were on the move and helping to keep watch. All thoughts of attacking the party below were given up for the time le ing, and every one hskHl forward for a tine entertainment on the morrow. Tom heard the tiend discussing in what ways they should torture him. One of the guards said that lie had seen aw hite man hung un to a limb with a slick thrust through the bones of his leg, as the farmer hangs up a slaughtered hog, and that he lived for half a day. One wanted to skin him alive, an other believed in a slow lire, and almost ev ery one who cainc up had a suggestion to make. It was concluded that he would die game, and that liis equal had not been cap tured for vears. "Seeing there was no cliance of escape just then," said Old Tom, "I made up my mind there was no use fretting over tlie case, and I took things easy. 1 ate hearti ly, and alumt 10 o'clock at night turned in and slept like a brick until after day light. I intended to take advantage of the very first opening, and 1 knew that would not come before I was led out in the morn ing. Where they set out to have a regular holiday over a prisoner, running the gaunt let is always tlie first thing in order, and it offers the only opportunity to liolt." It was nine o'clock next morning before the big chief and his staff arrived, and an hour later the prisoner was brought out. Tho warriors had arranged themselves in two lines, and were armed with clubs and switches. Old Tom was Liken to the head of the lines, and a warrior who could speak a little English made him understand that lie was to run to the foot of the line and re turn, and that if he ran fast and strong ho would he set at liberty on his return. This was all stuff", of course,hut it is always giv en out to every prisoner to encourage him. The chief called out to the men not to hit the prisoner too hard, and ail was ready for the start. Tom intended to wheel square about and make a run for tlie river. There was not one sliance in a thousand for him, hut he preferred death by the bullet todeatli by torture. He was even bracing himself for his run when there were shouts of alarm all around liim, and lie saw two Indian hoys coining down the valley on horseback, making signs as they came. Tom was hur ried hack to the lodge, the village was all excitement, and in live minutes fifty war riors were riding up tho valley. Tom figur ed that some of his party were scouting a rouml to leai n his fate, and that they had come into the valley and had been seen by the village sentinels. This, as was after wards ascertained, was tlie correct supposi- Tlie Indians did not return until B o'clock in the afternoon. At about 0 old Tom was brought out again, and this time lie was tied to a stake. For some reasou the red skins had decided to spare him the gauntlet. This was from no feeling of mercy, of course, but their long ride had probably tired them out. "There was no possible show for mo to make a break," said I lie old mail. "I was backed lip to the stout slake, lliy hands a (id fe.-t tied to it hy strips of green hide, and then they wore ready to begin hasinosi. I saw them getting their knives nnd toma hawks ready to throw at me, and In my desperation and despair i railed out at litem speaking tho ilrst words since my capture, i rev iled and cursed them and ilarod thooi to do their worst, and while 1 was speakin;' the suit-chief, who was the head of the vil lage and whose name was S]s>ttcd Horse, threw up his arms ami fell back dead." The chief was no doubt prodisjHtsod to heart disease. He had been in tho saddle for six or seven hours u laboring under a Ueoli excitement all tile tillie, and it lieod. i-d only tho increased excitement brought on hy tin hunter's denunciation to prccipita'o the fatal stroke. That the Imlinnsconsider ed it an act of divine vengeance \va* plain in a moment, It scarcely known that ho was dead before Tom was untied and conducted hack to the lodge, and the village at once went into mourning. "If was two days before they buried him," said Tom, "and meanwhile t was Well L-c.ltod bill closely guarded. Oil tin third day 1 was taken out. again. 1 had heard the mis disscussing the matter from all standpoints. Koine contend**! that I was ail evil spirit, and |f nqt permitted to depart Would work ilium soiim terrible e laiuity, while 0110-l* argued that I must hi' burned and my ashes scattered to tho winds to propitiate the evil one. Tlio who held to the latter opinion were in lie majority. I was not to Is* tortured, hut burned alive." He was tied to the same stake, and the faggots heaped around him, hut just as they were being lighted jit* broke out in (force raileiy again, Hi* words affected the whole crowd, hut he would no doubt hav* perished had not naturo come to ids old. The hush which had fallen upon t'.e village was broken hy a far off'roar, and a moment later a cyclone swept ii'tq lh val ley from the east jig*. * raging Hon.

Eva ry hr'ge was down and many carried away, vv Idle many of the |**ople were lr.rt, and two chil dren killed out right by falling limbs and tl v ing debris. "1 never saw Indians lose their heads as those chaps did," said oh! Torn. UI was left quite alone for. tiiu next quarter of an liur, while those who had esea|M-d unhurt were running about in a childish way. It was just growing dusk when an Indian j*>- ny was led up to the stake hy the head chief in jHTsoii, 1 was cut loose by a warrior, Hftisi upon the pony hy two others, ami told hy the chief that 1 was at lilK-rtv to go. I was too dazed to understand,hut tlu-y gave the horse a slap and avvav we went.

Inside of two hours I was hack at our camp, hut only to And the party gone. They had become alarmed and moved about thirty tnilcs up the stream, where I found them tlie next day." Tom not only li;ul tlie Comanche out At to prove tlie truth of what he said, but tin next year, when tlie chiefs of tlie trjlio held a powwow with a government commission, the entire stotv was told anew by the In dians, and many inquiries were made as to what had become of tlie white man's devil. —New York Sun. TIIK RATTLESNAKE'S EYE. The Horrttdc Malignant Expression Seen by the Microscope. Never seeing a snake charm a bird or an imal, 1 concluded it was a negro sujierstl lion or fancy, devoid of fact. So 1 contin ued to think until a few days ago, when *a farmer friend of mine, living four miles south of Abilene, told me what lie had late ly witnessed. He said he was riding along on a prairie aud saw a prairie dog within a few feet of him which refused to BoanqK-r to liis hole, as prairie dogs usually do when approached hy man ; on the contrary, he sat as if transAxed to the spot, though mak ing a constant nervous, shuddering motion, as if anxious to get away. My friend thought this was strange, ami while consid ering tli*' spectacle he presently saw a large rattlesnake coiled up under some bushes, his head uplifted, about six or seven feet from the dog, which still heeded him not, but looked steadily U|KII tlie snake. He dismounted, took the dog hy tlie head and thrust liiin off when the snake, which had up to that moment remained quiet, imme diately swelled with rage, and began sound ing lis rattles. The prairie dog for some time seemed heuumbed, hardly capable of motion, hut grew better, and tlnally got in to his bole. My friend then killed the rattler. Now, was this a case of charming ? If not, what was it ? My friend, who told me this, is named John Irving MeClure, a farmer, well known to me,a good and ti *hful man. I now give it up that snakes lo indeed charin, or so paralyze birds and little ani mals with terror, vv lien they eateli their eye, that they tiecome helpless and motionless, almost dead. What say the scientists ? And to one who is familiar with the eyes of rattlesnakes, it does not seem unreason able that they should have such power. If you will examine the eye of one when lie is cold in death, you will perceive that it has an extremely malignant and terrible expres sion. When he is alive nnd excited 1 know of nothing in all nature of so dreadful ap pearance as the eye of the rattlesnake. It is enough to strike not only birds and little animals, hut men with nightmare. I have on several occasions examined them closely with strong glasses, and feel with all force what I state, and I will tell you that there are few men on tlie face of the earth who can look iqioii an angered rattlesnake through a good glass—bringing hint ap parently within a foot or two of the eye— and stand it for more than a moment. — Persons who drown kittens and puppies in order to he rid of them, would do well to thus sink tlu-ir little troubles into them selves, instead of hanging them into otlnr people's ears and hearts to dry and to Hot ter.—Pooler oy. Politics are but waves chasing each other, to break in disappointment and run hack into the sea, leaving hero and there good laws that endure as lighthouses for genera tions, hut more generally lining the shore with driftwood which people are forced to climb over or remove.— Pomeroy. Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. TRUTH. The following beautiful illustration of the power of truth, is from the pen of S. 11. liit in itioitil, formerly editor of t e Albany "Stum Register." lit was an eye witness of the seeno in one of the hi,.*her courts of New York : A Utile girl, nine years of age, was offered as witness against a prisoner, who was on trial for a felony com mitted in iter father's house. 'Now, Kntily,' said tho coutu-d for the prisoner, upon ho:* being offered us a witness, 'I desire to know if you ui der>tud ibe nature of an oath V '1 don't know what you mean' was the simple answer. 'T here, your honor,' said the coun sel, addressing the court, 'is anything further accessary to demonstrate the validity of my objection ? This wit ness should bo rejecti d. She does not comprehend the nature uf an oath.' 'Let ua see.' said the judge. 'Come here, my daughter.' Assured by the kind tone ami man lier of the judge, the child Mepped toward him, and looked con fid iigiv up into I ,is face with a calm, clear eve, uud uiih a maum r so an hifi.fi tul frank that it went straight to the heart. Bid you ever tike an oath ?' ii - quired the judge. The little girl ateppid tack with u look of bettor, and the red blood mantled iu n l.lusfi .11 over her (ne'e a* she answered : i 'No, sir.' S 1 e ,h u,ht that he intended to bi qu a it si e • vi r U spheincd. 'i do i ot mean It.u:;' said the judge, who taw her mistake ; I mean were sou ever a witness before ?' 'No, i li ver W!'i iu court before, 1 was the answer. 'He handed l.cr the Bible, open : 'Bo you know thai book, ujv duuglb tor ?' * She looked at it aud answered 'Yes, *ir jit is the Bible.' 'Do you ever read it ?' he asked. 'Yes, sir, every evening.' 'Can you tell tue what the Bible is ?' inquired the judge. It is the word of the great God,' she answered. 'Well, place your hnnd upou this Bible, and listen to what I sav and he repeated slowly and solemuly the oath usually administered to witnes ses. 'Now,' said the judge, 'you hftvo sworn as a witness, will you tell me what will befall you if you do not tell tbe truth ?' 'I shall be sbut up in tbe State prison,' answered the child* 'Anything else 1" asked the judge. 'I shall never go to heaven,' she re plied. 'How* do you know this V asked tbe judge again. The child took tbe Bible and turn ing rapidly to the chapter containing tbe commandments, pointed to the injunction, 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,' '1 learned that before I could read.'" 'Has anyone talked with you about your being a witness here against this man ? inquired the judge. 'Yes, sir,' she replied. 'My moth er beard they wanted me to be a wit ness, and last night she called me to her room and asked mo to tell her the ten commandmeuts, aud then we kneeled down together, and she prayed that I migLt understand bow wicked it was to bear false witness against nty neighbor, and that God would help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it were before Him. Aud when I canto up with my futhcr, she kissed mc and told nte to remember the niuth commandment, and that God would hear every word that I said.' 'Do you believe this ?' asked tbe judge, while a tear glistened in his eye and bislips quivered with emotion* 'Yes, sir,' said the child, with a voice aud manuer that showed her conviction of tbe truth was perfect. 'God bless you, niv child,' said the judge; you have a good mother. Thiswitness is competent, ho contin ued. Were lon trial for my life and innocent of the charge against nte, I would pray to God for such wit nesses as this* Let her be exam ined. Sbo told ber story with tho sim plicity of a child, as she was but there was a directness übout it that carried conviction of its truth to every heart. She was rigidly cross exam ined. The counsel plied her with io definito aud ingenious questioning but she varied front her first siatcmcut in nothing. The truth as spoken bv the little child was sublime. False hood and perjury had proceeded her. The prisoner had entrenched himself in lies Witncssess had falsified facts in his favor and avilhin had manu factured for him a sham defence. But before her testimony it was scattered like chaff* The little child for whom the mother had prayed for strength to lie given to speak tho truth as It was before God, broke the cunning devices of matured witnesses.
