sTony OF A N.BNTUCZY BANDIT
Writing from Bowl ing Green,Kentucky,
a correspondent of the Louisville Journal,
who was bresent at a trial before a refer
ence in the former place, gives the follow
ing personal reminiscence of a witness
named Davis, who, in the course of the
suit, was required to tell the story.
Davis, formerly traveling as an
agent of a tobacco house in New Orleans.
was once obliged to spend a night at a
tavern at Dipping Springs, about 15 miles
north of Bowling Green, and, while there,
was so impudent as to make a vain-glori
ous exhibition of the goodly sum of money
in Ins wallet.
LoUnging about the place at the time
were a number of persons peculiar• to the
time and that part of the country—men of
good address and fine appearance, who,
without labor or apparent resources, lived
upon the fat of the land, and withheld
their past histories even from their - most
intimate associates.
Among these was a man of really noble
mein named Potter, whose manners were
those of a courtier and his whole life a ro
mantic mystery. Upon leaving the tavern
in the morning, Mr. Davis took a motmt
ain road leading from the Springs, and,
when about two miles on his way, dis
mounted from his horse to bathe his head
in a rill beside the road.
Holding his steed by the bridal, and
stooping low to refresh himself from the
heat of the day, he was startled by the
sharp crack of a rifle, and springing to his
feet, beheld Potter running towards him
fzoia ,a buqh with gun still smoking.
'What did you lire at?" asked the aston
ished commercial traveler, noticing a cu
rious look of disappointment on the flush
ed face of the other. "At a turkey," an
swered Potter, adding in a measured ac
cents, "and, for the lirst time in my life,
I've missed my mark,"
Mr. Davis, scarcely knowing what to
make of it all, then remounted and rode
onward. Scarcely, however. was he be
yond sight of the lonely sportsmen then
his horse staggered strangely: and upon
making an examination, the rider was
amazed to find the beast's breast covered
with blood. The shot from the rifle had
wounded the animal; and then, for the
first time, the traveler realized that Mr.
Potter's shooting had hot failed so much,
after all.
Leading the wounded horse, lie presently
reached Mammoth Cave, where a field
muster was going on, and where he in
formed the Colonel in command of his
recent adventure. This Colonel and two
or three soldiers went back with him to
the place of the firing, and, of course, did
not find Potter there. The Colonel, how
ever. upon finding the prints of a rifle
stock and a man's knees in the sod be
hind a rock, placed Davis in the place
where he stood when hearing the shot,
and then perceived that there was a thick
dogwood bush through which the bullet
❑rust have passed on its way to the mark.
Upon examination it was found that
certain twigs of the bush had been cut by
a bullet at about a level with a man's
cheek, as he stood upright, and hence the
induction that Potter had fired at Davis
immediately after the latter's dismount
ing. and that- Davis had only escaped
death by happening to stoop at the very
moment when the rifle was fired. Thus
did lie escape, and thus did the bullet
reach the horse that he was holding by
the bridle. Potter was subsequently ar
rested as'a bandit by the militia, but
evaded trial by agreeing to' leave the
country.
"Three years after," said Mr. Davis
"1 was going over the same road, and on
the same business, and having obtained a
very early start from the Springs one
morning, I met, beside the siunerill where
hadformerly passed, tliesameman again.
I saw at first glance - that he' knew me,
and almost expected :mother shot from
his rifle; but he let me pass as though I
had been a ghost; and, looking back from
the top of a hill, I saw him plunge into
the wood, with his weapon'on his shoulder,
That was the last ever seen of Potter in
Kentucky, and rumor said that he com
mitted suicide somewhere in the depths of
the forest. Whether that was true or
otherwise, the man was a profound mys
tery to all who knew him in life, and prob
ably supported himself by exacting toil
from travelers on the mountain 'roads.

DOG DRIVING IN ALASEA
My team comprised three dogs. The
leader was a fine black dog named Ikkee,
who had a magnificent bushy 'tail, which
was always erect and curly. The next
one was a black and white, and called Se
waska, a hard worker and of amiable dis
position. NeX.t the slid was old Karnak,
my favorite, and the - ugliest dog in the
brigade. his tail, poorly furnished with
hair, was usually between his legs : his
ears were short, and scored with the
marks of many battles. His face was
stolid and exhibited emotion only when
feeding time came, or when some other
dog ventured too near or lagged behind.
His body was large, and his legs were
like pillars ; his color was white, with
dirty spots. Altogether we looked a good
deal like a lean pig. But how he would
pull !
A description can give but a faint idea of
dog-driving. It is an art in itself. The
nature of dogs is cross gained. and they
frequently do the wrong thing with ap
parently the best intentions. Each has a
peculiar look and character. Some are
irreclaimably lazy, others enjoy hard work
unless pushed too far ; some are greedy
and snappish, others good humored and
decorous. All are very practical, show
ing affection only for the man who feeds
them, and for him only as long as he feeds
them. Hence the voyager should always
feed his own team himself. They dislike
the whip, not only when in use, but in the
abstract. They will always destroy one
if they can get at it. The whip is made
with a short handle, a very long lash,
braided of leather or sealskin, and usually
loaded with sheet lead or bullets in the
EMI
As we walk behind the sled, which or
dinarily travels four miles an hour, we
have an excellent opportunity of studying
dogs. One habit appears to be ingrained
in their nature. • It exhibits itself at street
corners in cities, and at every bush, stamp
or lump of ice which they pass on the road.
When traveling rapidly, some dogs will
Stop twenty times an hour to examine
any bush or twig which attracts los atten
tion. Ha leader, it checks the whole team:
if not, he usually entangles himself in the
harness, and jumps frantically to release
himself as he hears the well known crack
Of the whip about his ears. If a log collies
in the way, and the driver is not ready
with his help in urging the sled over it,
down they all drop on their haunches,
wagging their tails, and looking around
with a pleased expression, or uttering a
entimental howl. With a crack of the
N'vhip, and a shout for Kamuk to stir him
self, their reveries are broken, and we go
on. 6 oing down hill, the whip and lungs
are again called into requisition, to keep
the dogs out of the way of the descending
sled.
It is said that no man can drive dogs
),..ithollt swearing. I think it is in a
Measure true. At all events he must have
a ready store of energetic expletives to
keep them on the qui vicc. In Russian
America we always used the indignant
epithets, which, as we did not understand
them, were hardly sinfal. If - theie is a
tree near the trail, the clogs invariably
try to pass it on different sides, until
checked by the harness; they constantly
exhibit such idiosyncrasies, and it was
lucky for Job that lie was not set to dog
driving;
if lie had been, I fear that his
posthumous reputation would have suf
fered.

::OW TO TREAT SLANDER
We once heard a story of two men who
started together one morning for a whole
day's journey. They soon became separa
ted, the one reached his destination be
hind the Western hills, where lie made
himself comfortable at the inn. His only
trouble was concern for his laggard com
panion. lie thought sure some evil must
have befallen him.
Long after dark., his fellow companion
arrived. 'When asked the cause of his
delay, he replied:
1 was obliged to stop at every other
house to whip elf the untaanerly dogs
that barked at ine. Didn't they bark at
you?"
" Yes," replied the other, " but 1 did
not stop to whip them. 1 simply told
them that they were ill-bred curs, and
drove on.''

him saying, with a peculiar and touching
melancholy, `I would rather die. like John

TEE WONDERS OF THE DEEP
Prof. De Vere's fascinating book under
the above title opens with this graphic
sketch of the depths of the ocean, which
reminds one very strongly of Victor
ITugo's "Les Tarvailleurs de la Mer."
The great sea has its mountains and its
deep valleys, with forests of weird, waving
plants on the former and, clown in the
dark dells, masses of dismal debris, wrecks
of vessels and decaying bodies of men
There lies, half covered with a crust of
lime and hideous green slime, an ancient
gun shining in sickly green; here, half
hidden, a quaint box filled with gold that
was picked up amid the snow of the
Peruvian Andes, and scattered over all a
motels - crowd of oddly shaded shells. The
empty skull of an old sea captain has sunk
down close to the broken armor of a huge
turtle, and a deadly harpoon rusts and
rots by the side of the enormous tooth of
a walrus. Still farther down "in the
lower deep of the lowest," lies countless
bales of Indian silks, in which large
schools of fish dwell peacefully now; and
over all, the silent creatures of the ocean
move incessantly to and fro, while mil-
lions of jelly fish throng every wave to
feed the giant whales, and immense hosts
of herring dash frightened through the
waters to escape the voracious shark. *
* * In one place the waters foam and the
waves break without rest or repose
against oddly shaped cliffs, which do not
rise sufficiently high to be seen above;
in another, they wash slowly and sadly
against a wide desert of white sand.
Where lofty mountains rise from the
depth to a height not inferrior to that of
the tallest Alpine summits, and vast for
est of seatong clothe them in brilliant
green the sea circles mournfully all
around in ceaseless windings, while fur-
ther on, where the valley sinks into the
very bowels of the earth, and eternal
darkness covers all with its mysterious
mantle, the waters themselves are hush
ed and apparently motionless, as if awe
struck by the unbroken silence and the
unfathomable night below.
The earth, it has been said, is one vast
graveyard, and man can nowhere put
down his foot without stepping on the re
mains of a brother. This is not less than
true with regard to the ocean. It is an
every hungry grave, in which millions
and millions of once living beings lie
buried, awl new hosts are added from
year to year. It is the stage on which
murder and maddest, conflict are going
on without ceasing. Immeasurable
hatred dwells in those cold, unfeeling
waters and yet for a good purpose, since
it is only through this unceasing destruc
tion and change that life can be maintain
ed in no crowded world that dwell in the
"waters below the earth." The sea has
its lions, its tigers and wolves, as well as
the earth above, its crocodiles and gigan
tic snakes which daily sally forth to seek
their prey and murder whole races; it has
medusae and poypi, which spread their
nets for smaller fry; while whales and
their kindred, swallows millions of min-
ute beings at a single gulp, sword fish and
sea bears hunt the giant of the lower
world, and wretched parasites wait their
opportunity to enter the fatty coats of
monsters. Every thing is hunting, chas
ing and murdering. but there is heard no
merry "Tally He!" no war cry encour
ages the weary combatants; no groan of
pain, no shout of victory ever breaks the
(lead silence. The battles are fought in
dumb passion, and no sound accompanies
the tierce conflict but the splash' of foaming
waters and the last spasmodic effort of
the wounded victim.
