Uncle George Green's Story of the
Way the Young Lieutenant Won
Ills llride.
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
Did I know Jeff Davis ? Well I
should always think of him then. He
was a dashing young oflicer, as I knew
him, inclined to be overbearing in his
ways, never deigning to 1 iok at those
he thought beneath him ir. social posi
tion or rank. He was a gallant lover,
and it was no wonder that the beauti
ful daughter of Col. Taylor fell in love
with him here. She was a romantic
young creature, as I remember her, and
was the one blight and refining Influ
ence thrown around the rough camp
life. O, yes, she worshipped young
Davis. But her father, grim old war
rior that he was, could not tolerate
Jeff Davis, and when he saw that his
daughter was continually unhappy un
less in the company of the young of
ficer, he determined on separating them,
and accordingly sent his daughter from
Fort Crawford, Wis., where he was
stationed, to a convent In Baton Rouge.
His dislike of Davis grew into a posi
tive hatred, and much unpleasantness
was the result.
"lu a few days after the departure
of the daughter, Davis presented him
with a document which required his
signature. It was an order from Gen.
Wayne granting a furlough to Davis.
The wary old Col. saw through the ruse
in a moment, and he at first refused to
sign the order, but could not well per
sist in this insubordination or he would
be guilty of contempt. The order had
come from his superior officer, and le
must sign it, and with a black scowl on
his face, he affixed his signature to tl e
official document. Jeff wa3 now free
for thirty days, and he lost no time in
hastening to Baton Rouge to join his
sweetheart. Col. Taylor was a tuan of
great determination, as he arterward
snowed in the Mexicau war aud in the
Presidential chair. ITe despatched his
swiftest messengers to bring his dang
ter borne by a circuitous route and thus
thwart the young officer who was hur
ryir.g to meet her. The girl was brought
backto the parental roof,and,aftei s,*nd
log the greater part of his furlough iu
St. Louis, Davis returned to Fort
Crawford. Old Captain Taylor cjuld
fight the Indians, and would rather
haye m<-t a whole tribe than contend
with the domestic troubles thai
assailed him. lie had built a log house
just on side the stockade, and here his
fair daughter strained her beautiful
she watched the surface of the
river tor the coming of her lover. Af
ter the return of D.tvis to Fort Craw
ford the coldness which hitherto ex
s'sted between himself and Col. Taylor
grew more frigid. The young woman
pined awny in the seclusion of the loi
but, and the young oflicer bided his
time when he might take Lis intended
from her father's roof stealthily, and in
the night. The father knew the charac
ter of the man he had to deal with, and
watched his daughter closely. Now, it
has been disputed that Jeff Davis took
his young woman from her father's
house in the night, but I am ready to
tell what I know and stand by it."
"You see it happened this way : My
name is George Green, and I am 8)
yea<-s old if I live until next November.
It was ab< ut IV3J,1 V 3J, or near that time
when I. with a number of otheis, ueut
up the Mississippi River on a steamer
to visit the Falls of Si* Anthony. We
left the steamer where St. Paul now is
and went over to the Falls, remaining
so long that when we returned the boat
was gone. Nothing remained for us to
do but to buy a large canne from the
Indians, which we did, and flia.ed
down the river to Fort Crawford. At
that time there was a slough separating
the few houses which constiluted the
village from the trading post aud the
fort ou the bank of the river. I thought
I might make some money by using the
eanoe as a ferry boat across this slough,
and I bought out the interest of my
partners. I accordingly established my
ferry, and Jeff Davis was one of my pa
trons. I did not like his pompous ways
for wtien he paid his passage lie always
threw the money iuto my hand as
though be was throw in? money to a
beggar. One day he come to me and
asked me if 1 could safely row two per
sons across the river, and I replied ihat
I could. Shortly after he came again
and seemed to be somewhat excited as
he asked me to be on hand that evening
with-my canoe. He was more gracious
in his manner, and gave me some money
as a guarantee of good faith. I did not
know that I was to be a paity to an
elopement or I might have objected to
doing a wrong action against Col. Tay
lor, for whom I had the highest regard.
It came out however, that I was at the
slough after the sun went down, and
waited patiently for the young officer.
"I had waited some time when I
beard footsteps, and turniug, I eaw
Jeff Dayis and Col. Taylor's daughter
hurrying toward me. Not a word was
spoken as he lifted her tenderly to a
seat in the canoe, and I followed taking
up my paddle. VVe went down the
slough to where it joined tho river.
The young woman tegn to cry softly as
we swept into the stream,and Jeff diew
her head over on hie shoulder as he
spoke to her in a soothing voice. A
cross the river we drifted, and the
sound of my paddle could not be heard
a furlough away. Not a loud woid was
spoken in that silent voyage, and I was
at a loss to understand the whole af
fair. We kept onacroßs the rivei, and
every few moments I glanced around to
see bow my passengers were getting a
long. The girl bad ceaßed her crying,
and bj the way she rested her head on
the bosom of the young Lieutenant I
somehow becameconvinced that she was
not altogether unhappy. We landed on
the opposite shore below the island,and
I waited with some interest to see
what would happen next. Presently I
saw three men emerge from the thick
under-brush some distance from the
river bank, and Jeff Davis put some
money in my band and told me 10 re
turn. I learned afterward that one of
these three men who came up on the
river bank waa a priest but I never
found out . who the otheia were, and
neither did I ascertain the name of the
priest. Before 1 had readied the place
in the slough where I moored my
canoe I heard the noise of a river
steamer coming down from St. Paul.
She halted below the island in the mid
dle of the stream, for 1 distinctly
heard the engines reverse and knew
that JelT Dayls and his bride wt re a
bout to pass down the Mississippi to
the South. The next day, I watched
closely for a glimpse oi Col. Taylor,
but J lie old soldier was too circumspect
in bis actions to Intruy any anxiety. 1
was informed that Davis took the
young woman from an upper story
window l n the log cabin, an d
with the assistance of the chaplain was
enabled to get her beyond the picket
lines unobserved. There was no doubt
that the chaplain was on the other side
of the river to witness the marriage,
and that he conveyed to Col.
Taylor the news of the elopement."
"1 was away from Fort Crawford
for some time after this episode, and
heard no more about it. It is however
a matter of history that Col. Taylor
was never wholly reconciled to the
marriage. It is stated that after the
battle of Buena Vista Taylor visited
Jeff Davis as ho lay wounded in his
tent, and extern]°d his hand to him al
though there was no further recon
ciliation. Davis had undoubtedly won
the battle with the Mississippi Rifles,
and Taylor could not fail to recognize
such gallantry. Time and time again
: I have heard this story of mine called
| a falsehood, but it is true, and 1 am
ready to stand by it."
TIIE COMING CAT.
I'assy to Take Her Rightful Place by
a Fashionable Freak.
Fashion has long been favorable to
dogs. Cats are now coming forward,
some charming belles at Luclion
thought this season of using the Pyre
uean cat—which is a pretty creature,
and not so wild as it looks—as a survei
moi, jeune homme. The notion sprang
l up in this way ; A beauty down there
| was given, in one of her excursions, a
lovely cat. But, as her arms were lad
en with mountain flowers, how carry
it ? A peasant suggested cutting a
hole at one of the ends of a hand-basket
for needle-work, just large enough for
the cat's neck to be held in without
strangulation when the lid was fastened
on. As the basket was padded and
lined with satin, and bedizened with
fringe and ribbons, pussy did not ob
ject to being a prisoner therein, and to
being placed on the lady's bustle as a
pack. There was no other means of
( carrying the feline unless there. So the
basket was fittd up with a string to
| tie on to the waste, and so borne into
Luclion. The arrangement was daring,
I original and piquant. It found imitu
| tors, and in a few days there were not
1 Pyrenean cats enough for the ladies'
bustles. Fashion even dared to invade
the saifctuary at Lourdes with a moun
. tain torn or tabby on tle dorm! hump.
A fashion prophet tells me that next
winter the back part of the muff will
contain a pouch in which a cat is to lie.
A contrivance of this sort was hit upon
by Mile. Schneider for her black-and
tan terrier, which regarded the inside
of the muff as a prison and wanted to
look about when keeping the hands of
its mistress warm. The Dnciiesse do
Bauffremont then took up the arrange
ment and used to carry about as many
puppies as she could lit into the pouch.
Princesse Isabeau de Beauvals Craon
used to remind uie of a maternal kan
garoo. Her muff had the pocket in
front and a parcel of pups'lieads of var
ious breeds peeped from out the own
ing at the top.
The cat is not a pet for the A lie des
Acacias, because it won't suffer nself
to be led and would not in a crowd fol
low its mistress oi answer to her call.
Although fond of luxury and matching
with refinements of llie most elegant
bondeur, there is no more independent
creature in existence. It won't suffer
itself to be treated with rough familiar
ity, to le muzzled or constrained in any
way. Though it enjoys being rubbed
gently with the grain of its fur, it does
not think itself honored by the atten.
tion of any human being. It is a car
pet animal and fond of silken cloth,
when not pursuing mice and such smell
game, or engaged in housetop adven
tures. Indeed the cat is most in its
place in soft and lieautiful surround
ings, and revels in p'ush upholstery—
which, by the bye, is going out. One
does not tremble if it walks on a table
laden with precious knick-knacks. It
steps so gingerly, and is so much the
master of its movements, that china,
you inay be sure,will neverfall where the
domesticated feline passes. Whatever
possesses servants to say "the cat did
it," when they themselves break glass
and delf, I can't make out.
MEDICAL VALUE OF WINES.— As a
general rule the use.' of 'wine is not
necessaiy for young persons in good
health, breathing country air and not
exposed to over work. /s, however,
life advances and Recirculation be
comes languid, natural red wine used
in moderation, becomes an essential
article and in many cases absolutely
necessary, but it must be the pure pro
duct of the granes. Ai d even in the
Eastern States the physician meets
large numbers of town people,especially
women, who cannot digest the food and
drinks suited to out-door laboring peo
ple. In such cases they resort to the
beverage of tea which gives rise to a
distressing dyspepsia. The wines pro
duced in New Jersey, especially the
Burgundy and the Port Grape Wines
from Alfred Speer's Vineyards, at
Passaic, are the more reliable and the
most sought after by physicians and
those who have traveled abroad and
know what wines are.
ALFRED SPEER, Passaic, N. J.
DEAR SIR:—I have used your Soci
alite Claret and your Port Wine in my
practice with great satisfaction.
Very truly yours, WM. R. CHILDS.

A LUCKY DISCOVERY.
'And so Miss Dorinda Beam is dead
an' buried ?'
'Yes, an'hain't left no will—that's
tho wust of it.'
Mrs. Grimes stopped churning to
listen to the news brought by Neighbor
llockins.
'You don't say !'
'lt's so,' declared Neighbor llockins,
emphatically.
'Benly Bittersweet won't get nothin'
after all, then,' observed Mrs. Grimes,
lifting the churn-lid to see if the butter
was coming.
'Not a stivtr. An' her alius brought
up to think slie'il git it all.'
°7Vs too bad. 1 reckon Peter Fogg
an' his woman'll come in fur the prop
pit) , then ?'
'Course they will, belli' they're the
highest of kin. All the kin-folks she
lied, I reckin, fur her an' Beuly wasn't
no ways related.'
'1 shouldn't think MIES Dorindy'd
sleep quit t in her grave, with them
Foggs a-haudling of her things. She
hated 'em like pizon while she was u
live,' remarked Mrs. Grimes.
'She hadn't ort to put off makiu' her
will, then. But that's alius the way
folks keep a-puttin'off an' a-puttiu' off,
a-thinkin' they're goin' to live forever,
an'then all at once they're gone Tore
they know it. An' then it's too Uttt.
Miss Dorimly died awful suddint, they
say— appellexy or the like. I dunno
what 11 uley is a-goin'to do, I'm sure.'
And indeed poor Hegjali herself
scarcely knew what she was going to
do.
'Everything hero will be yours, Beu
lah, when I'm dead and gone,' Miss
Dorinda had often declared. 'That
miserly Peter Fogg an' his stingy wife
won't get a stick nor a stone of what
belongs to me ! I kin tell him, if he is
oiy nephew.'
And now Miss Dorinda was dead and
gone, sure enough, and now Peter Fogg
and his 'stingy wife' were the heirs at
law.
The place had been thoroughly
searched for a will, but none could be
found, and lawyer Green, who attended
to all Miss Porida's affairs declared
that he had not been called upon to
make any will; and so poor Hen lab was
left penniless and alone in the great
world.
One year ago Beulah was the prom
ised wife of Richard Barry more, a stal
wart young farmer, who lived with his
mother in the old homestead, with its
green orchaid trees, its meadows of
sweet grass, and its waving fields of
wheat and corn.
But Heulah was young and giddy,and
when the new physician, I)r. Clarence
| Virden, began to pay love-like atten
tions to her, Richard grew jealous, a
quarrel ensued, and a broken engage
ment was the upshot of the matter.
Since that time Pr. Virden had con
tinued his attentions, until Miss Dor
inila's death occurred, and lieulah's
unfortunate position was made public.
Then his visits suddenly ceased, and
he found it convenient to 'pass by on
the other side.'
A week later Mi. Fogg and wife caiue
to take iossession.
He was a hard-featured,miserly man.
anil KIM M dhnrp-noseJ, avaricious wo
man.
'The ole woman had a heap o' plun
der,' remarked Peter, as he went lum
bering through the parlors with his
heavy cowhide boots. 'That pie-anner
won't be here long, though, nor them
picters on the wall !' he declared .eyeing
the articles named with a calculating
gaze. 'I reckiu they'll fetch a right
smart sum o' money at the auction
rooms, an' I'll cart 'em off an' sell 'em.'
'There's a hull trunk full o' the ole
woman's good clo'se,' put In Mrs. Pe
ter, who had been exploring the upier
rooms. 'You mout as well cart them
off an'sell 'em too, Peter. I kan't wear
'em.'
♦Course you kaint,' said Peter,gruffly.
1 'What do you wan't of any more clo'se,
1 anyhow ? Them you've got on your
back is good enough fur anybody.'
Shocked and pained at their coarse
remarks, Beulah went to her o.vn room
to think over her plans for the future.
'You kin stay here if you work fur
your board,' Mrs. Peter bad informed
her, but Beulah had declined tlie offer.
'1 had rather beg my bread from door
to door,' she declared to herself, 'than
to stay with them. But where cu I
go ?'
'lleuly !' called Mrs. Peter's sharp
voice. 'Come down—here's a feller
wants to see you.'
Beulah sprang up with Hushed cheeks
and spaikling eyes.
'Could it—could it be Doctor Vir
den V
She caught her breath, her heart beat
so violently with a sudden hope.
She hurried down with a pink flush,
like the tinted heart of an ocean shell,
staining her cheeks, to meet—Richard
Barry more.
He took her hands in a firm, gentle
clasp.
'Get your things, Beulah. I have
come to take you home with me. Moth
er has a room ready for you, and you
are to live with us.'
'Oh, Richard, I—l don't deserve it 1'
soobed Beulah, remorsefully.
'llush ! Get your things,' oidered
Richard, authoritatively, 'and let nie
carry out your trunk ,* my wagon is at
the door.'
And half-reluctantly, though with a
feeling of relief in her heart, Beulah al
lowed him to lift her into the wagon,
where he had already placed her trunk,
and they drove away.
Peter Fogg was as good as his word,
and before many days he drove into
town with his lumbering farm wagon
filled with his big piano, the handsome
pictures, and Aunt Dorinda'a trunk,
containing her 'best clothes.'
*****
The honeysuckle and maderia vines
clustering about the old Barryraore
farm-house were full of bloom, and the
scented petals of a tall cinnamon rose
bush were dropping lightly on Beulah's
nut-brown curls, as she sat on the
south porch with a basket of yellow
September peaches beside her.
'Dick is so fond of peaches and
cream,' commenced Beulah to berselt,
as she peeled and sliced the ripe, gold
en-hued fruit. 'He shall have them
every day while they last.'
Just then tlio sound of wagon-wheels
was heard in the lane.
•What on alrth is that that Richard's
got in the wauron ?' asked Mrs. Hurry
more, coming out on the porch just us
the wagoti cumo into view. 'Kin you
make out what 'lis, Houly ? Your
eyes are belter'u mine air.'
Hculah shaded her eyes with Iter
hands and looked again,
'lt—it looks like a big box,' she said,
doubtfully.
And so it was a big box, with a pia
no inside of it. There was another lx>x,
also, filled with pictures, and a trunk.
Richard drove up to the door.
'l've bought you a present, lieukih !'
ho cried 'The piano and pictures
we'll put in tlie parlor, and this trunk
I'll just carry tin to your room.'
And calling Sim, the hired man, they
carried it up at once.
Hculah could only look her thanks,
aud then ran upstairs to hide her tears.
Half an hour later she came dancing
down stairs, laughing ami crying to
geter.
'Oh, Dick ! Oh, Aunt Laura !' she
cried, hysterically. 'There was a will
alter all; and here it is ! It was in the
bosom of Miss Dorlnda's dress, le
--tween Hie [lining und the outside. 1
thought I would hang up the clothes, to
air theui, after being shut up in the
trunk, and just happened to feel this in
the bosom of her silk dress. It was one
she had not worn for a good while.'
It proved to be a genuine will, made
three years ago, in St. Louis, where
Hculah and MissDoriuda had spent a
few weeks one summer.
This accounts for Lawyer Green
having 110 knowledge of it.
Hculah was scon reinstated in her old
home, and l'cter Fogg and his wife, af
ter refunding the money paid for the
piano and other articles, went tick to
their farm, greatly chagrinned at the
unexpected turn of affairs.
'1 wish the pesky trunk had of burnt
up 'fore ever we went an' sold it,'
grumbled l'eter.
In which unavailing wish Mrs. l'eter
coincided with him.
Among the visitors who soon flocked
in to congratulate Hculah on her good
fortune, was Doctor Clarence Yirden ;
but much to his discomfiture he was
informed that 'Miss Uitlersweet was
engaged.'
And so she was, in more senses than
one.
For when the first Ojtober frosts had
crimsoned the trailing ivy- leaves und
turned the sumac and sassafras-leaves
to scarlet and gold, Beulali Hitter
sweet was transformed into Mrs. Rich

141'FFALO HILL ABROAD !
A Lit lie Love Affair—What the Cow
boys Think of It.
The success of "our own" Buffalo
Hill— p. Only—in England is very
gratifying to his thousands of udumers
on this side.
There was more truth than many im
agined in his reply to the inquiry :
"What are you doing in England ?"
' Chiefly playing poker with the
Duchesses."
The English nobility quickly "cot
toned too" Huffalo Hill because they
recognized that he belonged to a higher
order than their own—Nature's nobi'i
ty. Despite his wild life he early man
aged to acquire an education and tlie
jxilish which makes him easy even in
royal society.
His polish is the bitter fruit, it is
said, of a young leve experience. When
a young man on tlie plains,wild, woolly
and unkempt in appearance and char
acter, lie fell in love with a dashing lit
tle school teacher. Full of pluck and
faith in himself, he proposed to her.
She laughed at him and he—collapsed.
After a time he biaced up, bought
somt books, and began to study.
Ilis defeat proved his victory. The
giri was his mascot, aud his successes
are due to her.
Magnificient specimen? of manhood
though they may be "Hill's boys" are
not perfection. Undei date: "Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Co., London, Sep. 19.
1887," D. W. Shoemaker of the Cow
boy Band, writes : "Some weeks ago I
was suffering from great disorder of tlie
liver and kidneys and general prostra
tion. 1 was lorced to quit work and
take my bed. I called in a physician,
who only afforded temporary relief. A
friend induced me to take Warner's
safe cure,which afforded almost instant
relief, and after taking three bottles, "i
find myself in as good health as at any
time in my life."
Two other members of the Wild West
show, Mawe Beardsley, pony express
rider, and Jim Mitchell, a cowboy, add
to.this statement of Shoemaker's, that
in their king experience on the plains,
from change ot water, climate, and
mode of life, and severe riding, they be
came sutijpct to liver and kidney dis
eases,'and they have found a sure rem
edy for these troubles in Warner's snfe
cure. Mawe Beardsley says : "I con
stantly recommend it to my friends."
Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage
and hard sense, and not only controls
all the wild elements that make up the
Wild West show, but controls himself.
His experience as a scout makes him
wary, discreet and shrewd. lie quick
ly learns the best way to secure results,
and, like a true man, lias no prejudices
against anything that proves its merits.
Buffalo Hill is so popular in England
he may come home a "Sir William."
But if not he will probably enjoy him
self quite as well, haying secured a for
tune ample enough for all his wants,
title or no title.
