The Catholic World for August. At thfe remote periott which we des cribed the fur trade of Detroit was irarqense ; and the Indians, aided and encouraged br the facilities for reach ing there, Carrie in great numbets to sell the products of their hOnting ex jjeditions. There were representatives from the various tribes Iroquois, Pptavratamies, Illinois, Miamis, and a fiost of others. M. Jaqiles Dti Perron Baby was at that time Indian super intendent at Detroit. This was an extremely important and responsible position at that period. M. Baby had realized a handsome fortune there in a few year3. Almost all the land on which the Detroit of to-day stands was then owned by him and a Mr. Macomb, the father of Gen. Macomb, who commanded a portion of the American troops during the war of 1812. At the close of this war, the entire property of M. Baby was conT fiscated in consequence of his political opinions, which were declared in favor of Cartada versus the United States. His fine mansion stoott in the center of the fori, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Having luxurious tastes, he embellished it with all the require ments of refined and cultivated life. The garden was on raised ground, surrounded by a sodded terrace ; the house stood in the center, half con cealed by a dense foliage of Inaple, pear, and acacia tfee'S, wfcicli waved their branches coaxingly over its roof. A number of birds, Sometimes hidden in the branches, sometimes flying thro' he air, crossing, ptirsuing each other, describing a thousand bewildering cir cles, abandoned themselves to joyous song, while the little ramoneur Com plaining on the chimney-top, mingled his shrill, harsh cry with their melo dious voices. It was evening. The last rays of the setting sun colored with rose and saffron tints the tops of the forests. The heat had been in tense throughout the" d&jrJ The even ing breeze, coquetting among the roses, dahlias, and flowering eglan tine, refreshed exhausted nature defi ciously, and perfumed the air with the most intosieatrng fragrance. Tea wrs about being served in the garden, and the table was most invitingly covered with tempting viands and lovelv flow ers. The superintendent and Bis fafri ify were seated around ; a young offi cer who had been several months in Detroit had been invited to join the family party. Two colored servants waited most assiduously at the repast. "What a charming evening !" said the officer he was a handsome young man, with light hair, noble aijd ex pressive features, a fid rather a high forehead. There was a proud, intel ligent expression in his bright eyes, and yet at times something vague and dreamy.- 'Truly," he continued, "1 have never seen anything in Italy niore delightful than this; such a cli mate, and sucn ravfsn'.g seery, site u fine effects of light and shade ! Look Cbimney-swalk)-- WHOM THE TRUTH MAKES FREE; AND Alt there along the horizdn, and at those fleecy clouds which float through the azure sky; they resemble a superb scarf friDged with purple and gold." "It is indeed a magnificent evening,'? replied the superintendent, "We really enjoy a very fine climate in this sec tion of countrv. I have never seen I anywhere a clearer sky or more trans parent atmosphere, and nature so grand ; but, against all of this, we are deprived of nearly all the luxuries and comforts of the1 old country, to say nothing of the constant dangers to which we are exposed from the Indi ans ; for we are on the utmost' limits of civilisation. You, who have just left the civilized shores of Europe, can scarcely form any idea of the cruelty of these barbarians. ' Life is indeed very severe iii this new country.." "Yes," said his wife, whose fine physiognomy indicated her great force of character; "it is only a few j-ears ago that I was obliged to do sentinel duty, and stand at the entrance of the fort with a shot-gun in my hand, while the men were oqcupied in cultivating the fields around it."' The Conversation was here interrupt ed by one of the servants, who came to s.vy that a stranger was waiting to 6ee the superintendent and his wife. They all arose from the tea-table. "You look very sad this evening, mademoiselle," 6aid the officer, ad dressing a young girl of sixteen or eighteen years of age, and who, from a strong resemblance, could be easily recognized as the daughter of M. Baby. "What can have happened to cause such a shadow to fall on your fair brow ; while all are smiling around you, your heart seems full of sorrow ? Jt is almost impossible that any one could contemplate this lovely scene, and not experience a feeling of interior peace. Nothing so completely bewil ders me like an evening of this kind. This graceful hannonj- of light and shade is for rrie full of a mysterious intoxication." "Alas J" said the voting girl, "a few days ago I too could have enjoyed this scene ; but to-day, as it were, every object is covered" with a funeral pall. This beautiful sky, these green fields, the flowers and fruit, these Ver million1 roses, which charm your sight, all make me shudder. I see blood everywhere." "My God !" cried lie" 6'fficer, "what misfortune can have happened to you?" "Qh I only a few hours ago, I wit nessed such a distressing scope that it is impossible to imagine it. I can not obliterate it from my mind or dis tract my thoughts in the least ffom the shocking spectacle'. But I ought not to distress you by this sorrowful recital. I had rather let you enjoy tranquility these hours thataffofd you so much pleasure." "Continue, contiiliie," exclaimed he. "Relate to me this tragic story. Hap piness is often so selfish, but we should always have our sympathies ready for the sorrows of others;" The young girl then continued : "Day before j-esterday evening, a party of Indians half intoxicated came into the fort to see my father; the3' brought with them a yonng girl, whom they had captured several days before. Oh ! if you1 c'onld only have seen the losspnir on her oountena I. Poor child, her clothes were in rags, her hair hung in tangled masses, and her face was all scratched and bleeding. She did not titter a complaint, nor did she weep ; but stood with fixed eyes, mute and immovable as a statue. We might have believed her dead but for a slight trembling of the lips that betrayed the life that was not visible'. It was fearful sight. I have never seen any thing like it. Great misfortunes are like Severe wounds; they dr up our tears as terrible and sudden wounds arrest the blood in our veins. Com passionating her distressed situation, my sister aiid myself made her come in and stay in our roorfi through the night; bttt we did not deceive our selves with the slightest hope that anything could be done for her rescue, for we knew too well the characters of these savages. Nevertheless, we tried to sustain her with a little hope that sxrmetbtfi'g might possibly lie done. Perhaps our father cotjld succeed in inducing the IndlAhs to let her go. t last she gradually recovered from her state of stupor, and told hs her sad, sad story." "I have lived for some time," said she, "near Fort Wayne with my mar ried sister. One iorimg, while her husband was at work in the field, sev eral Indians suddenly entered our house. 'Where is your husband?' thev inquired roughly of my sister. 'He is at Fort Wayne,' she replied, frightened by their sinister aspect; I and they went out again, t till of anxiety, we loHowpd tnem wtm our eves for some time. 'O my God ! sis ter,' exclaimed I, trembling, 'I am so frightened", so terrified. Let us fly ; these savasres appear to me to be med itating some" dreadful act. 1 ain con vinced that they will return.' With out paying any attention to my words, she continued to watch them as they went off in the defection of Fort Fact - ARE SLAVES BESIDE.'' Wayne. The road which thev foot lay only a short distahee from the place where her husband was oiiietiv at work, not hiving the slightest idea of the danger that threatened him. Fortunately a clump of trees hid him from their sight We began to breathe' more freely, for they had now gone beyond the field ; but suddenly one of them happened to turn around. 'Thev have discovered him ! they have dis covered him !' shrieked my sister, al most fainting with terror. "And teallv they had all stopped, and were look ing in the direction where Joseph was stooping down, gathering tip" the branches of a tree which he had jiist cut down. He had no suspicion of danger. The Indians, concealed by the trees, were now only a short dis tance off. Suddenly we heard the re pdi t of a gun, and Joseph fell to the grotinci; Believing him dead, they advaiiced boldly; but the ball had only grazpd his head, and lie was stunned for a moment. He quickly recovered himself, and, making a breastwork of the branches of the felled tree', seized his gun, and in an instant two of the hi were stretched stiff corpses on the ground- The others, alarmed, made a precipitate retreat toward the edge of the woods, and then a quick firing commenced on both sides. Joseph was a fine marksman ; at each shot he disabled an eritray. Three had al ready fallen. We awaited, in agony of apprdhensidh, the result of the mor tal combat, which would not have been doubtful had it been only an ordinary enemy that the savages had to contend with. But Joseph was a formidable adversary. He fired rapidly, reload ing his gun with the most perfect coolness, while the balls were whistling around him. Placing the muzzle of his gun between the branches, he made the sign of the cross on his breast at the moment of taking aim ; then, pull ing the trigger, we counted another Indian less.' Every time I saw a new victim fall, I could riot repress a trem or of delight. Joseph's unerring ball had just struck a fourth enemy. We began to hope, when we discovered one of the savages creeping along on the ground behind him. No serpent could have advanced with more cun ning or address. Witbotlt shaking a pebble or disturbing a leaf, he ap proached slowly ; at one time conceal ing himself behind a little knoll, then under a thicket of brambles, only ex posing himself when he saw Joseph busy taking aim. Finally he arrived within two steps of him without being seen. Then, stopping, he waited until Joseph had reloaded his gun. With out suspecting the danger oelilfid him, he raised his gun to his shoulder to take aim ; then we saw him lower it quickly and look around. He had heard a slight noise in the bushes near hiiri. He raised his head and listened an instant, then leaned toward the right, and then toward the left, with: out perceiving anything ; for the sav age was lying flat on the ground be hind a pile of branches. Feeling entirely reassured, he again raised his gun to take aim. At the same mo ment, the Indian, with an infernal smile, raised himself from the earth, and, just as Joseph was preparing to immolate another eifenTy.he braiidished his knife. A last shot ws heart!, si last Indian fell ; but Joseph had also fallen, struck to the heart by tfre cow ardly fiend. The wretch then pro ceeded to scalp him, after which he plundered him of his clothes, in which he arrayed himself. Paralyzed with horror and fright, we thought no longer of Saving our selves. My sister, in her despair, pressed her baby to her heart, and threw herself at the foot of a crvrcifix, which she seized ifi her hands, and mutelv covered it with tears and kiss es, while I, too, utterly overcome, threw myself on my knee beside her, and mingled riiy tears and prayers with hers. Poor mother! she did not tremble for herselt, but for her child- that dear little angel, whom she so adoTcd. It was indeed a beautiful babe, scarcely eighteen months old, and had already begun to lisp 'Mam- ma '0, my God I' cried my sister between her sobs, if I must die, I will ingly give up my life; but save, oh 1 save ray chtld I' Then', embracing' it, and bathing it in her tears, she clasped it to her heart, and . sank to the floof hisensible. Although more dead than alive myself, I tiled to sustain her, and had" her in my arms, when Jo seph's mijrderer entered, followed by his cruel companions. Without utter inir a word, he advanced toward us, and violently snatched the child from its mof-w. She had not heard them enter the room, but, when they tore the child away from her, she shitd4sr ed and suddenly recovered her con sciousness. The savages, exasperated at having lost seven of their comrades, now only thought of blood ffnd A'en geance. The assassin of Joseph, hold ing the child at arm's length, looked at it with the diabolical expression of a serpent charming his victim before striking him. It was an angel in the grasp of a demon. The monster smiled Satan alone could have laugh ed as he did. The baby, as if to sup plicate his pity, smiled also, with that angelic expression of innocence that would have moved the most hardened and obdurate of hearts. But he, seiz ing it br the leg. whirled it round for an instant, and then oh ! horror ! dashed its head against the heavy edge of the stove, lis brains spattered over its mother's facie. Like a t.er she sprar.g at the murderer of her child. Maternal love gave her super human strength, and, seizing him by the throat, she buried her fingers in his flesh. He tottered, his face turned black, and he fell heavily to' the floor, suffocated by the strength of her des perate grasp. She would have un doubtedly strangled him, had not an other savage at that initaht struck her a blow on the head with his hatch et. My poor sistejrj her dCfith was indeed a cruel one, but her agony only lasted a moment her troubles are ended, and she is now in heaven. But I what will become of nie ? Ton see the condition I ani in. O mV God, my God ! have pity on me." Arid the voting girl, wringing her hands in despair, threw herself sob bing into rriy arras, pressed me to her heart, and implored me not to abandon her into' the hands of these brutal sav ages. But, bh i what is more heart breaking than to witness misfortune without the power of alleviating it I We spent the night in weepihg and trying to encourage her, but I odhld not help ' feeling at the time' that jt was cruel to inspire her with a confi dence that I had not ; for I knew these savages too well. I knew that the monsters never abandoned their victims. The next day', my father tried in every way to conciliate them, and the'h iritere'eded in txihalf of the ydung capftlve. ife offered a large ransom for her, hut in vain ; nothing would tempt them. The effects bi the liquor had not ehtlrcly worii dff, and they were sullen and obstinate. My father used in turn praj-ers and threats to move them ; but neither presents, prayers, nor threats could rescue her from their merciless hands. The wretched girl threw herself at their feet, and embracing their knees, besought them to listen to her suppli cations ; but the monsters only replied to her entreaties y bursts of laugh ter ; and, in spite of her prayers, and sobs, and supplications, they carped her off with them-" A fact. She was never heard of after wards. Better than Whisky. "Bill Arp" writes: "Gentlemen, there is one thing about drinking. I almost wish every man was a reformed drunkard. No man who hasn't drank liquor fctidws what a luxury cold water is. I have got up in the night in cold weather after I had been spreeing around, and gone to the well burning up with thirst, feeling like the gallows and the grave and the infernal regions we're too good foi me, and when I took up the bucket in rny hands, and with my elbows trembling like I had the shaking ague, put the water to my lips, it was the most delicious, satisfying, Inxtfrlotrs draft that ever went down riij throat. "I have stood there find drank nntil I could drink ho more, and gone back to lietl thanking God fof the pure inno- ing myself from my inmost for ever touching the accursed whisk-. In my torture of mind and body I have made vows and promises, and broken them' within a day. Brrt if you want to know the luxury of cold water, get drunk and keep at it until yon get on fire, and then try a bucket full at the well in the middle of the night. You won't j want a gourd full you'll feel like the bucket ain't big enough, and when yon begin to drink an earthquake couldn't stop you. I know a hundred men who will swear to the truth of what I say; btft you see it's a King thej don't mean to talk about; it s too humiliating. 7 As item has been going the rounds of the papers saying that buckwheat cakes were unknown until the sixteenth eenturj'.
