A CURIOUS ADVENTURE,
BY AUOUSTUS CO:%ISTOCK
Lieutenant Greenville, a young man
belonging' toan Illinois regiMent left
his camp one morning to enjoy a ram
ble among the bills and valleys of the
"Blue. Ridge."
He had intended to go back before
sun-down, but unfortunately, ho lost
his way, and when - the twilight shad
ows began to close around him, he
was still unable to form any idea of
his true position; and, believing that
a search in the darkness would only
add to his confusion, he decided to go
no further. 7ACcordingly, after re
freshing himself with a few dropsOr
tWcontents of his canteen, he stretch
ed himself upon the ground, drew forth
his meerschaum, lighted it, and gave
himself up to reflectionS of a pleasing
nature. But he had not indulged his
reverie -longer than a few minutes,
when it was suddenly interrupted by
the sound of a horse's hoofs approach
ing along the path near which he was
seated..
"Only one," he muttered, springing
to his feet. "If he's an , enemy ho
shall find me prepared." •
And as' ho spoke heoelied his ro:
volver. The noise drew nearer every
moment, and he was soon enabled to
make out the outlines of horse and
rider.
"Who comes there ?" he shouted
The cavalryman halted, but did not
answer, and the Lieutenant repeated
his question. •
Still there came no reply. In tact
the :liorSeman- seemed to . hesitate
whether tO - Jtdvance or retreat, but
at length he decided upon the latter
course, and galloped rapidly away.—
The peculiar accent of Greenville's
voice, had evidently convinced him
that he was not a friend.
must be watchful," muttered the
young man as he restated himself
upon a grassy slope. "If that fellow
was an enemy, itis.probable that he'll
pay me a visit during the night with
some of his' comlianions."
Ile carefully examined his revolver,
then relighted his pipe, and continued
his reverie.
The sweet faces of the home fireside
—one of which, a gentle face, with
large brown eyes, and bright tresses
of the same hno, was dearer to him
than the rest—flitted again and again
through the chambers of his mind, as
ho reclined upon his side, looking up
at the stars and the moon, which were
now in the slay.
At length,- in spite of his efforts to
the contrary, a drowsy feeling stole
over him, his pipe fell from his mouth,
and.in a short time he dropped into-a
deep slumber.
'How long ho slept ho know not, but
when ho awoke it was still night, and
his garments were thoroughly satu
rated with dew. There was a strange
feeling of numbness in his arms, and
ho was unable to stretch them out.—

. .
This circumstance surprised-him, but
he soon discovered the cause. Both
wrists were tightly fastened together
by pieces of strong cord.
What did it mean.?
. .
He raised himself, upon his elbow,
and beheld a black horse •a few paces
in front of him; quietly •clipping the
gras near the path. to' this'horse he
perceived lie was attached by a rope,.
one end of which was faStened about
the animal's neck, and the other
around his (Greenville's) breast, di-:
rectly beneath his armpits..
"Aye, aye.!" cried a musical voice
upon his left, "I stole a march upon
you when you were asleep, and I have
you tliero all right; sound and safeaS
a top. I made you fast to my horse
so as to make sure of you while I took
a nap, and I preceiVe that we've both
waked up at the same tiine. It's time
we were on the' move, So you'd better
get up and follow me, as you can do
no better."
Upon hearing these words the Lieu
tenant sprang to his feet; but he had
barely time , to, get •a glimpse of the
rebel cavalryman, who was now ad
vancing toward him, when, evidently
alarmed by the sudden jerk upon the
rope, the .horse uttered a Wild neigh,
reared upon his hind logs, and then
dashed off with the speed of a whirl
wind, dragging the unfortunate cttli p r ,
after'"
The situation of the young man was
truly a fearful ono.; for, unablo to ob
tain his knife to sever the cord that
bound him, ho was entirely at, the mer
cy of the maddened -.host.
Far behind him, he could hear the
voice of the rebel as the latter vainly
strove with his shouts to stop the head
long career of his steed, and the
bruised and bleeding Lieutenant was
fast' losing all consciousness, when the
report of a carbine rang upon his ear,
and the animal fell sideways to the
earth, struggling in the agonies of
death:
In a few minutes his struggles ceas
ed, he became perfectly still, and as
the_ Lieutenant, who had now partly
raised himself from the ground, caught
the glassy lustre of his uptui'ned eyes,
he knew that the poor beast was dead.
The rebel seen arrived upon the
spot, and severing the cords which
were fastened about his wrists as well
as the ropo which bound him to the
horse - ; he assisted him to his feet.
"flow fares it comrade?" he in
quired, altor he had forced the neck of
a flask of brandy between the young
man's lips. "How dd you feel?"
"I am better, thank ,you," replied;.
Greenville, "not injured very badly
I think. A little weak, it is true, but
I'll soon get over that,"
"I am glad to hear it," responded
the other in his musical; flute •like
tones.: "I ,might have fired sooner,
-but I hesitated, fearing that-my bullet
might strike you instead of my horse."
''llere is pint' revolver," he added,
placing the weapon in the young offs=
ear's hand; "and there," he continued,
pointing to a path upon the right,-"is
the direction to your camp - . You look
surprised," be pursued, as the :Liey
tenantsurveYed his fine features with
much interest, "but I would have you
.know that although 'Kentucky Bill'
had intended to make you his prison•
er, he would scorn to do so now, to
take advantage of a man in your situ
ation. Adieu I"
And before the Lieutenant could ut•
ter a word, the speaker had disappear
ed from his sight around the angle
formed by'a steep rock.
• We have merely to add that Green
ville succeeded in reaching his camp
in a very short time, and that he
learned a few days afterward, from a
rebel prisoner, that the chivalrous
"Kentucky Bill," whom ho bad en
.countered in the night alluded to, was
none other than the celebrated female
spy, Belle Boyd, disguised iu the uni
form worn by the—rebel cavalry !

speech at Valparaiso, Illinois, said :
"The friends of slavery contend it is a

Adventure with a Boa Constrictor.
Captain Spoke, the celebrated trav
eler, gives the following graphic ac
count of an adVenture with a boa con•
strictor '
At the earliest possible moment after
our camp had been pitched, a hunt
was set' afoot, and Captain Grant,
, mySelf, and some attendants were soon
milting our way, to

Were no animals there when we arriv

wore, therefore, obliged to wait the
coming of some more palatable game.
Our patience, however, was severely
taxed; and after a long delay, we
were aboUt to "bag" a hippopotamus,
'when one of, our 'attendants, perched
in a tree, about half a mile distant,
_began waving his blanket. This a vas
a signal that game was approaching.
We immediately drew into cover, and
awaited the eorning'Of the latter.
We were not delayed long, for pros
. ontly a, long column of animals, from
the eloPliant to the• hoodoo, appeared
in view, trotting at a good pace to the
river. Their flanks were soon pro.

object, fired:: McColtshot a fine young

At this juncture, however, occurred
an unexpected adventure that finished
our sport, at least for that day. I had
sprang forward, immediately after
firing, in order to obtain a fair shot at
a huge elephant that I wanted to bring
down on account of his immense tusks.
I got the desired aim and pulled_ the
trigger of my second barrel. At the
moment of my doing so a wild cry of
Marin, uttered by one of the blacks,
called my attention. Glancing around,
my eye chanced to range up into the
foliage of the tree beneath which Cap •
taro Grant and myself had lain for
several hours previous. My feelings
may possibly be imagi ned,as I beheld an
enormous boa constictor, whose hide
ous head and neck, projecting some
distance into view, showing that he
was about to make it fatal spring.—
His direction was certainly toward me;
and as ho flashed froth, his position
like a thunderbolt, I gave myself up,
for ere aid could. reach me, fold after
fold of the monster would have crush
ed. my strong frame into a quivering
pulp. I fell semingly, caught in a
whirlwind of "dust, and a strange in
delicribable scuffle' ensued. In the
midst of this terrible strife, I suddenly
„
.became conscious of the presence of
a second victiml_ and even after the
time that has elapsed since then; I
still recollect with what vividness the
thought shot across my mind, that this
second victim was Captain Grant., my
noble companion. At last being thus
whirled about for several seconds, each
second seeming'interminable, there ettL
sued a lull, a btilliu3s6 as of death, and
I opened my oyes, expecting to look
upon those unexplored landscapes
which are seen only in the country be
yond the tomb. Instead of that, I
saw Captain Grant leveling his rifle
towards Me, while, standing beside
and behind him, where the blacks, in
every conceivable attitude of the most
intense . suspense.
In a moment I comprehend all.—
The huge serpent. bad struck a young
buffalo cow, between which and him
I had unluckily placed myself at the
moment of firing upon the elephant.
A most singular good fortune had at
tended me, however, for, instead of be-
ing crushed into a mangled mass with
the unfortunate cow, my left forearm
had only been caught in between the
buffalo's body and a single fold of the
boa constrictor, The limb laid just
in front of the shoulder, at the root of
the neck, and thus had a soft ked of
flesh, into which it was jammed, us it
were, by the immense pressure of the
serpent's body, that was liko iron in
hardness. As I saw Grant_about to
shoot, a terror took possession of me,
for, if he refrained, I Might possibly
escape, after the bat released his folds
from the dead cow. But, should he
fire and strike the reptile, it would in
its convulsions crush or drag me to
pieces. Even as the idea came to me,
beheld Grant pause. He appeared
to comprehend all. He could see how
I was situated ; that I was still living,
and that my delivery depended on the
will of the constrictor. We could see
every lind on each other's face, so
close were we, and I would have
shouted, or spoken, or whispered at
,him, had I dared. But the boa's head
was reared within a few feet of mine,
'and the wink of an eyelid would per
haps settle my doom, so I stared; star
ed like a dead man, at Grant and the
blacks.
Presently the serpent began very gra
dually to relax his folds, and after re

crushed buffalo quivered, he unwound
one fold entirely.- Then be paused. The

held me prisoner; and as I felt it little,
by lttle, little by littld unclasping, my
heart _stood still with hope and fear,
Perhaps upon being freed the benuin

might fall from, the cushion-like bed
in which it lay. And such a mishap
might bring the spare fold around my
neck or chest,lind then farewell to the
sources of the Nile. Oh ! how hardly,
how desperately I- struggled to com
mand myself! I glanced at Grant,
and saw him handling his rifle anxous 7:
ly. I glanced at the ncgrocs, and
saw them still gazing, as though petri
fied with astonishment. I glanced at
the serpent's loathsome head, and saw
its deadly eyes, watching for the least
sign of life in its prey. Now, then, the
reptile loosened its fold on my arm a
hair's breadth, and now, a little'more,
until half an inch of space seperated
my arm and its mottled skin. I could
have whipped out my , hand, but dared
not take the risk. Atoms of time drag
ged themselves into ages, and a minute
seemed eternity itself ? Tho second
fold was removed entirely, and the
next one was easing. Should I dash
away now, or wait aThibre favorable
moment ? I decided upon the former,
and, with lightning speed, I bounded
away toward Grant, the crack of who
piece I heard at the same instant.—
For the first time in my life, I was
thoroughly overcome, and sinking
down I remained in a semi-unconscious
ness state of several minutes.
When I fully recovered, Grant and
the overjoyed nogroes held me up, and
pointed out the boa,who was still %with-
ing in his death agonies. I shuddered as-

looked upon the effects of his tre

TILE ORIGIN or DEATII.--A Hotten
tot fable gives the following as the
origin of death: The Moon, it is
said, sent once an Insect to Men, spy
ing. "Go thou to Men, and tell them;
as I die, and dying live, so ye• shall
also die, and dying live." The Insect
started•with the message, but whilst
his way w !! :Le F ertajor k by the
Hare, who asked, "On what errand
art thou bound ?" The Intsuct, answer
ed : "I am sent by the Moon to Men,
to tell them that as she dies, and dying
lives, they also die, and dying live."
The Hare said, "As thou art an awk
wark runner, let me go to take the
message." With these words he ran
off; and When he reached Men, he
said, "I am sent-by the Moon to tell
you, as I die, and dying perish, in the
same manner ye shall also die and
come wholly to an, end." Then the
Hare. returned to the Moon, and told
her what he had said to Mon. The
Moon reproached him angrily, saying,
"llarest thou tell the people a thing
which I have not said V With these
words she. took up a piece of wood
and struck him on the nose. Since
that day the Hare's nose is slit. In
accordance with which story, the old
men of Namaquas will not touch
Hare's flesh to this day.
THE New York correspondent Of,

following :

que'stion has been sat at rest, although

Ertraordinar,y Instances of Memory,
Seneca says of himself, " dint by
the mere efforts of his natural memory
he .was able to repeat two thousand
words upon .orice hearing them, each
.in its order, though they -had no de
pendence or connection upon each
other; after which he mentioned a
friend_ of his, Pontitis Latro; who re
taihed in his memory all the orations
he had over spoken, and never. found
memory fail him, even in a single
word. He also mentions Cyneas, am
bassador to the Romans from King
Pyrrhus, who . in one day so. well
learned tho •ntimes of his inspectors,
that the next day ho saluted-the whole
senate, and all the populace assembled,
each by his name. Pliny says that
Cyrus know every soldier. in his army
by name; and L. Scipio all the people
of RoMe. Herr von Nieublin s the
celebrated Gorman scholar, was once a
clerk in the bank of Copenhagen, in
which capacity he gave proof of the
miraculous power of memory by res
toring, from recollection alone, the
whole contents of a leaf in the bank
ledger which had been lost by fraud or
accident." To these we can add in
stances ae extraordinary as any of
those cited above.--Some - years since,
the late Daniel Webster, during a great
monetary crisis, was invited by the
triereintuts" of Now York io address
them from the steps of the Exchange,
Wall street. The afternoon on which
he spoke was what is called "drizzly"
—wet enough to be uncomfortable
without the shelter of an umbrella.—
It happened that we took up a posy-
Lion beside him. 11. Atree, then re
porter of the Herald, stood on the
north side of the street, and at least
sixty feet from where Mr. Webster
was, with a large crowd intervening.
The oration of Mr.. Webster occupied
full two hours, and was replete with
quotations and. figures. Atree listen
ed attentively to what was said, but
was so circumstanced that it was
iin
possible for him to fake a single note
of the argument.. At the close of the
- lid - are:o7mo ni in ye ..ttery-ret-trrnect-to
the office of the Herald and wrote it
out, depending entirely on his memory
for the entire speech. So exact was
h() in every particular, that when the
speech was published, Mr. Webster
felt himself Constrained to write a note
to the proprietor of the Herald, thank
ing him for the exactness with which
his remarks were reported. We could
name other remarkable instances of
retentiveness on the part of this Atree,
but we think the above instance will
suffice. Mrs. Hemans, the poetess;
was also cudowed with a remarkable
memory- Anted one of the
biographies attached to her works,
that ott--ono. t oocazion, .to..pl Q n,c,n her
brother, she read a, poem which had
just been published, and which she
had , not seen until he placed it in her
hands, entitled "Europe," in which
were upward of two thousand lines.
The reading occupied some three
hours. Without preparation, and at
his request, she immediately repeated
to him, in the presence of the author,
who was, unknown to her, until a sub
sequent introduction made her aware
of the fact, the entire poem without
committing a single verbal error. Sir
Jonah Barrington, in his amusing
''Sketches of 1798," mentions an ex
traordinary instance of memory.—
Briefly, it is , as follows : The great
question of the union of the English
and Irish Parliaments (which was
finally consummated on the first of
May, 1800,) was under debate. A
member from one of the southern
counties of Ireland had prepared a
written speech, cogent in argument,
on the negative side of the question,
and which he was to have delivered
on that night. Very carelessly, how
ever, lie placed it or, the table in the
sleeping room of the hotel' at Which he
stopped; and wont out to fulfil an en•
gagement. During his absence, an
other member from a northern county,
who was strongly in favor of the
union, happened to pass the room in
which was the speech. He entered it,
and supposing that the southern gen
tleman would presently return, sat
down, with the intention of having a
chat, with' him on his return. He
waited half or three quarters of an
hour, bait the opponent of the union
cot appoaring, he carelessly picked up
the exposed manuscript, glanced over
the introductory pages, and presently
became deeply absorbed in its argu
ments. When lel had. concluded the
last sentence on the last page, ho plac
ed the written speech precisely as he'
had found it on the table, and left the
room, carefully closing the door behind
him. At night when the assembled
wisdom of Ireland had convened, the
member from the North early sought
to catch the eye of the Speaker, and
opening his remarks with words:to

speech which he had road during the

that there was a Methodist preacher
once traveling in the summer. There
had been a protracted drought;•. the
earth was parched and dry, and vegi
tation withered. At night our friend
stopped in front of a house which be
longed to a widow lady, and asked
permission to stay all night. The old
lady told him bread WAS scarce, and
that corn was still more scarce,. and
that alio did not know wether she
could spare enough to feed him and
horse. The traveller answered that
ho was a. - minister, and if she, would
allow him to stay all-night ho would
pray for rain Upon this she consent
ed. So that night and next morning
the minister put up long and fervent
prayers for rain, and again went on his
way rejoicing. The night after he left
there came a tremendous storm. The
old lady, getting up in the morning,
found her garden flooded, ,her fences
swept away, her plantation washed
to gullies, while ruin and devastation
stared her in the face. Turning to one.

The author of "Ruined Cities in Af
rica," tells that at Maklobe, there is a'
permanent ecclesiastical 'menagerie,_
containing lions, bears, jackals, cam
els, hyenas,- &e. Here those who.are
in search for the connecting link be
tween man and the brute creation‘can
find specimens Ur - their heart's content.
Those philosophers need no longer_
confine themselves to the monkey
species for the solution of their theo
ry; for at the menagerie of Makloba
they can without any hesitation readl•
ly recognize animals after their own
kind in the dog and in the cat, in the
bear and in the boar also. For this
extramordinary contribution to science
we are indebted to the ilhistrous Aisa;
the founder of the famous African
Moslem sect which goes by his names,
Every member admitted into society
assumes the character of
_some animal,
and that animal he imitates and acts,
at the regular meeangs of this relig
ious body. The freniy, ferocity and
madness exhibited on these occasions
are terrific; but what is surprising - is
that every animal at the assembly
feeds, and that exclusively, Upon the
kind of food for which it is most re=
markable. The leopard and the lion
devour raw meat; the camel eats the
leaves of the cactus, regardless of its
projecting thorn ; and the ostrich
swallows pieces of iron . and coins; I
have never been present at these hon•
rid banquets; but I only repeat ;what
is universally belieyed among all Mos
lems, and what a certain Baron de
Kraft, whom I saw in Africa, and who
was a , member of the fraternity, assur
ed me was perfectly true. All the
snake charmers belong to Able sect,
and in all their extraordinary eihibi
tionst before they even attempt to
touch, a serpent, they invariably invoke
the aid and ..proteetion of their foun

between Campbell , and McLean upon
the subject of genealogy. McLean

had any right to rank with the lite-
Lean's in - antiquity, who, he insisted,
were in existence' as a clan from the
beginning of the world. Campbell
had a little more biblical lore than his
antagonist, and asked him if the clan
of McLean was before the flood ?
"Flood !" what flood ?" said Mc-
Lean.
"The flood, you know, - that drown

family and his flocks, said Campbell.
"Pooh ! you and your floods!" said
McLean,".my clan was afure the flood."
"I have not read in my Bible," said
Campbell, "of the name of McLean
going into Noah's ark."
"Noah's ark !" retorted the other, in
contempt, "who ever heard of a Mc-
Lean that bad not a boat of his own."
