THE 8 TORY OF A SCAR.
A REMINISCENCE OF THE PKMINOI.E WAR IN
FLORIDA AN OFFICER'S NARRATIVE.
In a oitj-, recently, on business, having to
wait an Mler arnon a party of business men
In the office of the gentleman with whom I
had to do, everj moment seeming to stretch
its slow length along to an hour, thesitHation
non t fIm(i mvself anions the sliinninff.
The day was a "scorcher." Wilted and
t,,!,,,.! Kter.n..(l into a rostiirnnt of an in-
j viting appearance, and took a seat by a table
j at a retired part of the room. While I was
, waiting for the refreshment I had ordered a
man entered who drew my attention.
Above the medium height, slightly built,
but evidently all nerve and muscle, he ap
peared about fifty years of age, though I af
terward learned he was seventy. Smartly
dressed, with diamond studs in his shirt f 1 out
and an elaborate display of gold chain fes
tooned across his vest, he had a blending of
the dandy, the business man and the sailor.
The other tables being all oc upied, he
came to that by which I sat. It may have
been the pniticular notice took of him that
decidi'd his choice, for I acknowledge I am
given to the impertinence of regarding close- :
ly, if not staring, at strangers who interest
me.
My companion of the moment observing
this, remarked :
"Yon are admiring my beauty spot."
He had a scar on his face, extending along
the check to th mouth.
"An hoiiorable wound pot in the late wai?"
I replied, slightly blushing for my impolite
ness. "Xo," he answered ; "I've carried it more
man tony years.
"Toll Inu't have been a mere boy then.'
"One of Tom Collins' boys ; more"
I smiled equivocally, as the only answer I
could make to a saying familiar to sailors,
but unfit for print.
"You seem to be an idler and curious."
Here he drew out his watch a massive gold
article and opening tlie case with a touch of
the thumb, glanced at the dial. "I have a
few minutes to spare, and I'll tell you how
I got it" referring to the scar.
"It happened in Florida, during the Semi
nole war. I was with a party sent by the
Navy department to explore the east coast
o advance of the troops. Bayou, lagoon, a '
I i iei, lucre were iioue el anv size, irnm .r.
! Marj-'s to Key West that we did not scour.
! We had ascended one of those livers as fat j
j as we could go, and were returning, when j
i we came In sight of an o'd squaw on a pony 1
, coursing the bank. The instant she was dis-
j covered our commanding officer sent a party !
in chase, then signalled for tlie whole com- '
! manil, quite a fleet of .ig'.it heals, to close at
; a certain point of the shore.
I "We had with us a man who acted as ho'h ;
! scout ami into; prefer. lie was one of those
. queer chaps one occasionally meets drifting
! aliout alono in out-of-the-way places ; as fine
; a Irxiking fellow as you could wish to see.
! Like most men who live alone, he was no i
t
chatterer, lie let his ej cs supply the place i
of his tongue; and they weie wonderfully I
eloquent. They promptly ami plainly told I
v li-utenant commanding that their owner
'"""Kin i , " ohm iii.iii-
j nuiver, notwithstanding the place where we
! landed was an open pine barren ; the pines
! growing out of white sand that would yield
j nothing else except fleas, plenty of them.
"The squ.iw w.w taken. Indeed, she
' dMn't :m:ii any of her driving gear in the ,
a; cnipt t, get away.. Accustomed to his
! m.'.n, the I'eufenant. eonsu't -d the scout's
eves. Tlioy said '.she's a spy and decoy."
And she acted the f.nt to pei fection. It
was only when the rope was around her
neck and thrown over tlie branch of a yminc .
pine lh.it she would speak. A mile or so dis
tant as a paity of about a hundred Indians
with a lot of cattle and slaves they'd stolen
from the planters. This was the old woman's
story.
'The eyes, again consulted, said. 'Don't
believe her.' Hut the i frieiT, naturally head
strong, wouldn't listen. lie had more whis
key aboard than was pond for hini. and a
Southerner, death on catching rur.awnys.
These must have pone into his brain with the
whiskey, and completely turned bis head.
; For lie was a pallant and loyil officer, and
would not else have pone beyond his instruc
tions, which strictly forbade Lis seeking an
eneaeenient with the enemy,
j "When the scout saw that the lieutenant
j was deteimiiifd on the adventure, he pro
j posed to po alone in advance, to reconnoitre,
j But the lieutenant would not permit him,
i apprehensive that the Indians would take
alarm and escape with the neproos. Draw
! inp us up in line like so many marines, life
stepped to the front, and with the air of
! Csesar, made us a speech, in which be remin

cliimlil irm l.v III. oiiiiin i,f ll.i cl..-ui M-
ded us of cur duty to the povernnient. th
should pain by the capture if the slaves. lie
then pave the command to advance.
"lie stalking on before, leading the van,
we rnsed the bap-en at an angle of forty
five with the river, going about half a mile,
when we come to a bog, or stream of black
mud, so soft that we sank knee deep at every
step. I had advanced ten yards, perhaps,
when 1 was startled by the report of a bun
dled titles, mingled v'th which was the hiss
of a storm of bullets, followed hy that horri
fying yell in which savage men, be they Eng
lish or Anglo-Saxon, give vent to rage. I
confess that mv heart never before, nnr iias
I it since, beat as it did at that moment ; and
I i s4(0,. n-llollv da7ed
j "I soon cooled down, however, and Crawl-
j ed, snake-fashion, to the head of the palm,
where I could look through the tuft of stalks
to the direction whence came the firing on
j the enemy's side. I could see none of the
j foe excepting one of those blacks the lieu-
I tenant was after. Tall, rather slim, and as
i
j straight as an arrow, l.e was entirely naked,
except for a white cloth wrapped aliout his
tnighs and the lower part of the stomach.
A sprinkling of gray in the close krots that
covered Ids small, round head (remarkably
well shaped, the head, for one of his race)
showed he was advanced In years. . He was,
novet thelcss.as lithe and active in movements
as a young, well-trained athlete. His posi
tion was fai to the right of wherel lay, the line
of vision, making an acute angle with that
of the hammock in wlvch he stood behind the
tree which concealed him from oor lads more
directly In rN front. Whll thw reds ve-neri
ineessaiitly, like fiends, the black did a ter
rible execution in a grim and Mnistersilt:nce.
I remarked thpt his white teeth, however,
were as eloquent as our scout's eyes.
'I d'-n't pretend that I was so cool as to
mnke those observation at my leisure. The
fact is I waln a sweat, thinking how I could
escape from my perilous situation. At such
limes one sees and Is iinpre? sed by much,
though he seems to notice but few particulars.
1 could have been behind that palm but a
very few minutes, yet more passed through j
mv noddle than I could relate in hours. To
return to the black warrior he had just dis
charged his piece, and was reloading it.
when, drawing my rifle forward, as I lay at j
length, and taking n siglit with the muzzle
between the Ftalks, I let drive.
"I saw my in.m drop his rifle and leap.
The next moment my screen of stalk-crackling
as if attacked by fire, was shattered al
most into dust by rifle balls, one of which
struck me in tlie face, happily without touch
ing a lKne. Xo knife could have made a
e'eaner wound. I scarcely felt it at the time,
though it has left the ugly scar you se.
The moment 1 drew the fire I sprang to my
feet and ran for shelter into the hammock
where our lads were.
"Until that day I had but a poor opinion
of the blacks as fighters. They were not ad-
luitted into the army at that period, only as j
servants and teamsters, but were taken into i
the navy. Our statesmen, it would appear, I
ha vc alwa ys thouebt that any kind of mater-:
ial is good enough to make a sailor of. We
had several with us. One a bright mulatto, j
was a favorite with all in the command into i
which, by his good-natured saKies and con-
stint cheerfulness, he had often put heart ,
when we had been disposed to g've way un- j
der the hardships and privations eons-qucnt
to 'the service we were in. Upon this occa
sion he conducted himself under fire as gal
lantly as it is jxissible to any of whatever
color, nation or tank.
"Ou;- lieutenant had by '.his time discover
ed that he had caught a Tartar, and must
abandon tlie prize. lie had no doubt made
up his mind to die on the field rather than
escape to disgrace. However, ordering the
bugler to sound '.so-io-e ti petit" he stepped
to full view of those yelling red devils, as
coolly as if at a parade muster on board ship.
It would have been a miracle if he had es
caped that storm of bullets. When he fell,
Sam, the mulatto, and one or two others ran
to his assitaiice. Rut the brave fellows
never reached 1 1 i in.

order, 'Everybody shift for himself:' we
made all sail for liie boats. I have been in
several uncomfortable positions since, but
none that I would have been willing to
change for that of beating Tom Cox's tra
eise iuioir:ii ine miin m un iiiu-a; .iriiuiion
after ine like a pack of hounds in full cr-
except that of crosisinp the naked bop with
the red devils dropping us ripiit and left ;
speakir.2 with relation to my own place in
the strappling line of so many of us as pot
back to it.
"It was nothing more than a massacre.
Out of a hundred and thirtj -five we number
ed when we left the boats, we mustered
twenty-two when we reached the post to
which we tnade our way. One poor fellow
came in two dajs after, having traveled
over a hundred miles wi'h a h!! nt bis groin.
It nniy appi-at incredible, but the instinct of
life is wonderfully strong in man."
Here he again glanced at his watch.
"My time's up and I'm glad it is. I always
feel mean when 1 think of that affair ; though
there were more than six hundted warriors,
as was afterward learned ; ambushed in that
hummock, in wait fur a large body of troops
known to have been approaching ; and of
which they doubtless mistook us tor the ad
vance guard ; else it's finite probable I should
not be here to relate the story."
While he was speaking he rose, and, giving
his glass a hasty twirl, to revive its drooping
ec.ntents, he as hastily disposed of these.
Then saluting ine with a polite movement
he left with a quick, buoyant step that would
shame manv a man of thirty.

not a generally known historical fact that ; u. perish from cold, or if I survived the night,
from 1777 to 17S4 the territory now known
ns Tennessee formed a part of North Caro
lina, and that iti 178" the. Tennesseeans be
coming dissatisfied with their government,
organized a State government tinner the
name of ' Franklin," which was maintained
for some years. The f-tate organization
afterwards disbanded, and Territorial Ten
nessee was again annexed to North Carolina.
The following is among the laws passed by
the Iegiflature of the State of Franklin.

A Touching Stout. One rarely meets a
bit of more touching romance than is tound
in the following story, which comes from
Wales :
"Years ago some Welsh miners, in explor
ing an old pit that had lonp lieen closed,
found the Imilv of a young man dressed in a
fashion long out of date. The peculiar ac
tion of the air of the mine had lieen such as
to preserve the liody so perfectly that it ap
lieiired asleep rather than dead. Theniiners
were puzzled at this circumstance ; but no
one in the district had been missed within
their remembrance, and at last it was resolv

AN EXC1TIXU ADVENTURE.
Father Maloney, a Catholic missionary,
well known in all parts of Nevada, was
visiting White Tine, recently, and was in
terviewed by a reporter who gained from
him material for a long and interesting nar
rative. We publish one of his adventure,
as well for Its thrilling excitement as to give
an idea of the fatigue and privations will
ingly undergone by the men of whom Father
Maloney, Is a worthy representative
"Recently," said the Reverend Father, "I
tried to cross into Rubv Vallev. iust sixtv
miles from here, to perform a baptism,
There is po house between here and there, j
and I was never before over the same road.
I thought I could make it by having an early
start, as I had ridden on several occasions
during last Summer seventy-five miles per
day, collecting funds for my church. Every
thing being ready, my horse, was shod, etc.,
and I started out at eiif.it o'clock on Monday
morning. Everything 'went merry as a
marriage bell' till I came to the Cherry Creek
summit, where I encountered a heavy snow.
"Nothing discouraged, 1 proceeded on my
way feeling well as 'gay as a lark,' thinking
j that the snow would r.ot In- so deep as I pro
ceeded. Rut instead of getting lighter the
snow liecainc deeper and deeper. Yet I
I
would not return, and was si!l under the
impression that I could make Ruby Valley,
Reside-, I felt half ashamed to return, as
such action might denote cowardice, and
cowardice I cannot tolerate in anyone, much
less in myself. The snow lasted all day, two
feet deep and frozen over on top. which
made it more diffic-lt of travel, as it was not
frozen strong enough to keep the horse up,
which at every step went down knee-dee;,
and with much ado at times to extricate him
self. "At five o'clock in the evening I found
myself ascending the summit between Long
and Ruby Valleys, when I then and there
got into about three feet of snow on the levtl.
Xo road was then recognizable. Even the
sagebrush was not to be seen. The whole
i
region round was covered with thw deep, ;
deep snow, to a depth of three feet on the 1
level, and in the drifts six to ten feet. My i
horse sunk and fell down under me. I '
jumped off and fell down alongside of hint. !
"Imagine my feelings in such a predica- ;
ment ! It was snowing at the time, and the
wind was howling terrifically, such as it is !
wont lo howl in Xevada. All tl.is, coupled j
with the night coming on, and with the dread

myself ex-eijin, I Install hopes of escajie.
The darger, however, seemed to nerve me
up, and in tact it almost made me mad ; so I
ploughed through the snow as best I could.
"Mv horse, which I still held by the reins,
jumped up and followed after, and in half
an hour we found ourselves on comparative
terra (irma, just fifty yards away, on a side
hill, under a wide-spreading pine. We were
still standingontwofeetof snow. The wind
was high and there was a drizzling sleet. I
had matches in my pocket in abundance,
well secured, and thought that it would be a
p-tod idea to light a fire.
"It is very easy to talk about lighting a
fire, but il was not easy tu do so in such a
place and under such adverse circumstances.
I was cold at the time. My hands and cloth
ing were wet. and even the bark which 1
pulled off the pine seemed lo be saturated
. . -.i.i., ...
w.th moisture, and it was impossible for me
to start afire. I tried and tried in vain,
Match after match was ignited, and as often
. ., , . i 0 i
expired without any effect, and so I gave it
up as a bad job.
"And now no fire, no possibility of pro
ceeding any further, and not much prospect
of returning, as I was then thiity-six miles
from home ! My horse was tired, and the
average depth of snow over the thirty six
miles was two feet.
"1 legan to think seriously on what was to
be done ; yet there was no time for thinking
or musing, as something had to be done, and
there were a thousand to one chances of slow
but sure starvation, its six inches more of
snow would keep nie there forever.
"Such were my thoughts, when suddenly
I heard a bark ! It startled ine, and I thought
of St, Bernard's dogs in the mountain fast
ness of Switzerland, which saved the lives
of many hundred snow-bound travellers in
i the Alps.
! "Mv jov was great, and I exclaimed to
mvseif 'What can this be? Surely some
! friendly aid must be near at hand some
j miner's or woodman's cabin must tie close ;
j bv fr j have heard that familiar bark jf i
the favored domestic of the miner or wood-
' man in these isolated and distant regions ;
j or perhaps an Indian wigwam, which wouid j
j afford me covering and shelter for the night, '
"But my cheering hopes werQ soon disst- !
, pated. In vain did I look ar jund ine for the
i smoke and wished-for cabin. No Indian
wigwams or domestic dog greeted my view ;
but, in an instant, like a flash of lightning, I
was surrounded by a pack of coyotes, six in
number, which seemed to dispute with mo
the mastery of the place. But not with any j
motive or evil aforethought did I disturb
their den. 1 had no love or longing for the
I spot, and would have left them aione if they
' hiJ the grace of letting me alone.
"Approaching nie and my horse, they sim
! ultaneously Aet up a yell, which it seemed to
! me penetrated the very nkis. They prowled.
and how led, and snarled, and batked, until :
j it seemed as if the heaven as well as the i
woods were swarming with Infuriated, mad- J
dened, raging, hungry, demon-like coyotes, j
' Ce.iberusat Piuto's gate could not have been j
i more ferocious. Their very eye-balls seemed I
j to start from their soekets ! j
j " 'Good heavens !' 1 exclaimed, 'What !
i am 1 to do now I It was bad enough before, I
I hut it is a thousand times worse now." j

! Here the Reverend Father stopped, and
seemed to be deeply moved at the reco'.ieo-
..-
! tion of his past precarious position, and when
he recovered himself, continued :
"No, sir; if 1 had the graphic pen of
Dickens or of Goldsmith, I could not truly
paint or represent to you my position or feel
ing at the time. I do not believe I am a
coward. I was never, even when young.
j considered a coward. Yet I felt in much
the same strain of mind as the Latin poet
Virgil experienced when he first pot a view
of the internal regions, and when he ex
claimed. 1 stood amazed ; ray hair stood on
end, and my voice clung to my Jaws. And
could you imagine it. sir ? They did not de.
iortr : and here I am, after all, In (wa
ptntiveiy good strength and spirits alter my
j Robinson Crusoe adveiiture.
But to return to the wnlve. I h.id no
means of defoni-e. I am now sixteen years
'roughing it as Murk Twain would sny,
and I never carried with ni a pistol or re
volvor. I had never till then m y need for
one. The only weapon of defence I had at
the time was a razor; 1 nlway cany my
razor with me when makinga journey of any j
length. This I secured in a l.urrr from n,V !
saddle-bags, and in a moment, as Tom Moore j
woul.1 sav. 'mv sword sncl, a., it w:,s. was
floi,...i t.. i, . . . .... 1
As the savage- brutes
were approaching me I made a ni-h at them i
with my razor, and, with all the gestieula-
tions, shouts and grimaces 1 could put on, I
thoucht to scare them by p.phig their own
savagery. Rut to no purpose. They would
not leave, nor would they approach at a
nearer distance than twelve feet.
"At last I got accustomed to them. I
knew they were hungry, and I was getting
hungry myself. The uoet says that a fellow
feel'ng makes one wondrous kind at least,
we did not molest one another from that on.
"My horse began t plough away once
! again at the snow. The covotes followed
mc for about three miles, and after that I saw
them no more.
"The nielli was dark as Erebus. Not a
i star appeared to throw one cheering my upon
' me. and there was a light, drizzling sleet all
' niolit.
My horse's gait could not ie faster than
two miles an lumr. The tracks made dur
ing the day were now closed by the drifting
and falling snow, and everything snow,
darkness, hunger, wolves made it the most
dreary night I ever experienced. Yet I
! managed to get home tho following morning
! at five o'clock, ln-ing just twenty-one hours
j in the saddle.
"I am now partially restored to my ii'ual
spirits and elasticity of mind, and expect ere
j long to bo aide again to compete with tlie
boys in any feat of jumping, rtcing, or .stone
j throwing.
j "Altogether, however. I looic upon my nar
: row escape from death as a special protection
' of Divine Providence."

"I knew an old farmer there who owned

vastated the wheat fields, and the old coon
u-.ed to c&eli the. birds in nets and thrash
them out on the barn floor. Each bird had
three ounces of wheat in his crop ami it was
a bad yeat for 'Old Thompson' when he
couldn't ship a thousand buslalst.f w heat to

If there had been a few millions more ot the
pigeons he would have cmne pretty near
getting a corner in the Minnesota wheat
crop."

"These are curious yarns, gentlemen, but
I lieiieve them all. 1 had a dog once back in

"Beg pardon, judge ; did you ay the dog

j "Vcs, sir, Cottonwood boards. We always
' kept a dog there to btingthe lun.ler in at

i Everybody now paid the ekeet atten

I "It was this way. Cottonwood iKiards
