INGENIOUS DEVICE OF A
HIGHLAND SOLDIER.
Iu the year 1760, several• soldiers of a British
regiment, at that time stationed in this country
—a regimentcommonly known as "Montgomery's
Highlander's"—were taken in an amb...sh one
day, and fell into the hands of the Indians, in
the . Cherokee country, where the regiment had
been sent to chastise that tribe for certain depre
dations and cruelties they bad been committing.
One after anther of these unfortunate poor fel
lows was put to death, with all the prolonged tor
ture and barbarous cruelty which the savages in
to whose hands they had fallen could devise.—
Allan Macpherson, one of their number, having
witnessed the miserable fate, of send -a1 of his
comrades, and seeing the Indiana preparing to
give himself b is. -tanumay.t,4fell.upon. ti.! liow•
ing scheme, Ao, disappoint the 'earages,and. de
prive them of their anticipated gratification in his
torture. He are the Indians to understand, by
.soree signs, that he had something of greet im
portance to communicate to them before he should
be pat to death. An interpreter was procured,
and through lath Macpherson inforthed them that
he was in posseselon of a chain) of the 'greatest
valtie, and now that le was about to die, he did
not wish to leave tba world Ivithout imparting
this secret to those who were to - remain in it. He
informed them that the knowledge he was to com
municate to them would render their warriors in
vulnerable and their tribe invincible.
Haring thus excited their curiosity to a high
degree, be proceeded to tell them 'bet the secret
he would impart was, that a certain medicine, in
the preparation of which he would instruct them,
it' they spared his ties for a few minutes, would,
when applied to the skin on any part of the body,
render it impervious to the stroke of the sharpest
weapOn, in the bands of the strongest man. This
extraordinary medicine, he said, consisted of a
compound of certain herbs which grew in their
Woods; and if" they would , allori him to•go, with
a guard over him, to the nearest wood to collect
the proper pants, he would prepare the medi
cine, and also instruct" them in ita•preparation.-;•"
He also told them that be would immediately put
the effiettey.of this irvaluable secret to the most
satisfactory test upon himself. lie would prove
to them, he said, th:.t by rubbing his neck with
this wonderful preparation, he .would defy the
strongest and most expert warrior among them
to pierce his akin, eves with the sharpest toma
hawk. •
This story readily worked upon the supersti
tious credulity of the tndians, and in their eager I
desire to chillb the valuable secret, the request of
the Highlander was instantly complied with.—
Macpherson set off to the woods under a strong
escort, and soon returned with such plena as he
chose to pick up . Having boiled the herbs, he
rubbed his neck with the decoction, and laying
his heed upon a log `of wood; he desired the
strongest man amongst them to strike at his neck,
with his tomahawk with all his might. He as
cured them that the blow Would not make the,
smallest impression. A warrior of immense,
strength was selected tor the experiment; and,
aiming a.blow 'witii all his'inight,_the Indian cut, i
with such force that,lslaephersou's head flew off
to the distance of several yards. The Cherokees
stood gazing ateach other -in .silent amazement
at their own -credulity, but ttieY 'admired the in
genuity,and address with which their prisoner
had escaped the lingering death of torture which _
they had prepared - for him ; and, instead of being,
enraged at this escape of their victim out. of their
clutches, it iE recorded that they wore so pleased
with the cleverness of the stratagem, that they
refrained from inflicting further erueltiee upon
the remaining prisoners. Ji

AN HOUR IN THE DEAD LET
TER OFFICE:
A female correspondent of tau :Illustrated gives
the following aceotht 'of a visit to the Dead Let.
ter Office at Washington:,:
We bad been fortunate enough to procure the
crime to this plate through special favor and in
fluence, although, as a gime* thing, no viiitort
are admitted. It was at large, light roorn,„with
two or three desks, at which were seated aged of
&ors in silent occupatioh among literal' drips of
letters. The walls wore linedonrevery side with
huge mail sacks which te44 been returned full 'of
unclaimed epistles, from ifyrlads of . post offices";
there might have been fiftg or a hundred of these
Backe, and each probably: contained thousands on
thousands of letters! .
"Ilow rapidly you dispoee of them I" said I,
watching the speed with 'whiab the-clerk! - tore
open the epistles, glanckg aver them to - tee tbat
no drafts, checks, of atht.iitkvtant documents
were enclosed, andeen4hrearthem mpon . an Ws
taeitse heap of opened lettint at ttrelr-feet. , - •
‘.'lt's all in Lnbit, ran'atir," said the gentleman
nenrestme. "We are. accustomed to open a cer
tain number daily, and.tothose who do not un
derstand tbe expedition and accuracy; with which
we work, it would seem, indeed, almost incredi
ble."
As he spoke, a tiny gold ring rolled from the
folds of a rose. tinted letter, whose pages were
evidently written over by-a delicate female hand.
"A oh i.d's ring," he said, taking it up; "would
you like to look at it, ma'am 2" _-
1 tonic it in my hand—it was a fairy circlet of
virgin gold, with the words - "Mary to E. V." en
graved within—and I wandered who the Mary
was, and whether the little "B. V." who never
received the tiny gift, was dead or living."
Meanwhile, the clerk had been taking a rapid
note of thb signature, direetiOn, etc-.
"What will you do with it'?" I inquired, re
turning the ring to his cure:
, lire lay all such things aside, In case they
should be called fur."
"And are they often redeemed?"
"Not often—not once in a liundred instances,"
be replied, taking a I ittle , gold dollar &bin beneath
the seal of another letter, and laying it carefully
under the desk.:
We stood in silence, regarding'the pile of open
ed letters, which was grOwing higher with every
moment. It was a strange medley of styles and
handwriting. 'Some 'were inscribed cn huge
sheets of foolscap, in a manner that conveyed the
impression to your mind that the writer must
have grasped his pen with both hands, and gone .
at the paper as he would dig a spade into the
earth, and folded with a glorious disregard to all
geometrical precision,; others again were daintily
written on colored tissue paper, and seine were
in that easy, Bowing hand, that bespeaks energy
and refinement of character in the calligrapher.
"Oh, howl' should like to rend these lettorsl"
said I, involuntarily.
The of smiled. "This is what the la
dies say. It would be almost impossible to pre
servo our charge from the cariosity of the:female
sex, if, fortunately our rules did net protect tts
from many visitors."
"But do you never , read them?
"Never, u*.s4 they-perm very important, or
contain inclosures of amount. It is all we eau
do to,koep up with the arrival of. the dead.mails
now.- If we were to stop , to read one letter in a
hundred, we should be lamentably behind hand ;
besides the privacy of these letters is a point of
honor with us. Wo have no more right to read
them here, when unnecessary, than to pry into
any other personal secrets."
lime one of the Clerks leaned over and handed
our companion a tiny package.
"From one of the letters," he said, "t thought
the lady might feel interested in it."
It was a single curl of golden hair tied.with tt
bit of pink ribbon, and wrapped in a little piece
of paper on which Was written "Baby's hair."
1 knew the history of, that letter in an instant,
though I bad never looked on its folds, I could
sce the fair young mother parting the sunny,
tresses from the infant head, and plaeing it, with
half a smile and half a tear. within the closely
written page that was to glad the heart of the far
away husband. And lie never received the letter.
Perhaps he died under the mighty shadow of the
Sierra Nevada ; perhaps the turf of some Missis.
sippi valley'laty close on his puleeleas heart,while
she, the faithful wife, was growing more sad, less
hopeful with every day that brought nc *hewer.
tug word.
"Baby's heir I" I could not bekr that the bright
curl should be thrown carelessly among the host
oflottersl it seemed like desecration.
"Alloy I keep this little .loek?"
"Certainly, if you like:"
And. k placed it carefully in my retieule, with
tender hand. I knoir . not whercv the sorrowing
young mother's heart is breaking; day by day,
but certain .1 am that there is an invisible bond
of sympathy between bar soul and mine, clasped
by a lock of curling, silky 4 - 01d—mbaby's hair:"
It would be in vain to attempt to chronicle the
numerous inelosures which dropped fp:MI-the va
rious letters which were opened during the short
space of time we stood there. Bits of rainbow
colored silk sent for "patterns," tiny muslin col
lars, newspaper paragraPhs, hank bills; gold,
cards, coarsely written messages from little ones
at home, whose hands were 'go ided. by mother `or
sister, so that the absent flutter, cousin, or broth.
er might have a little letter, and innumerable
other affecting relics.
"Where do all these letters go when they, have
,
been opened and examined" Are they burned?"
"Igo; that was formerly the custom, however.
We used to' Make greet bonfires of them, but
aside from the. fact that bite' of written pipers
would always' escape from the flames, thtis -de
stroying all privacy in the letters, it was found
that' Many people made it a busines,s to seek
among the ashes for the gold, jewels; dollers,ete.,
which Often escape our notice here, and go out in
the opened letters. now they arli all kat to
paper mill and- re-manufactured as Writing' pa.
per."
We passed into another room, where were Ma
ny mementoes or the gdod old days before the
laws 'of `pre=paying; postage" went into effect.—
There . Were two or three' huge stones_which had
been sent for "a joke," involving an immense
amount alpoitagis to be paid by some' •tinfOrtn
nate, who luckily never received 'the Ponderous
packages-4 gigantic rag baby, said-to bave been

WILLIAM TELL OUTDONE.
A weaver of Speyer, in Germany, recently Per
formed an exploit, which casts ... . elm. ; dexterity of
our Travis or Suydom completely in the Ando.—
Ile was the father of a fine boy, en affectionate
husband, and known as the best ride shot in the
district; but let
.a man be a saint, and chance to
excel in some one thing,-and he is sure to have
enemies without number. Ono day while the
weaver sat smoking in the har-rootn of a email
inn, come of those mean characters approached
him and commenced bantering him upon his ac
curacy of aim. At first he treated their remarks
as mere jokes; but their pertinacity at . ,length
overcame his good humor, and in a towering po
llen he-started for home, determined to give un
deniable proof of his superiority, or,perie.ll in the
attempt. According be called hisr-little boy, a
lad of twelve years old, informed him that he had
"a charmed rifle ball,". and could not fail to strike
any mark, at the mile tirne ordered him to_ place
any ordinaty,eized liotatee upon his bead, and
stand sit the Foot at a long alley, while he shot it
off. The child fully imbued with' the supersti
tion inculcated by the :stories he heard, did not
he'sitate to obey the commend;ard the marksman
tired, cutting the vegetable in two pieces and
leaving 'him without a 'scratch. overyjoyed at
`the success Of his experiment, the weaver return
ed to the inn and related his exploit; but the
company taunted him for proof, professing to ba
ilees thee he was cheating them. Nothing dattn
ted, ho took them to his house, and re-calling the
boy made him stand as before. Again the child
took his position, and it being nearly 'dark held
a lantern While his father fixed the dangerous sleet.
A second time the potatoe was cloven, while the
boy stood unscathed. Ills envious friends ap
plauded of oeuvre; bat authorities hearing of the
matter, caused the weaver to be arrested and
brought before them. They severely reprimand
ed him ler the heartless dead, and, deelared that
if he ever retievved the experiatent they would
shut him ni in a mad-house: lie desCribed his
feelings during the eec,ond way as exciting and
agonizing - in thirextreme ; but he was determin
ed to succeed, even at the risk of killing- his
child.
BURSTS OF ELOQUENCE.

GREAT MARYLAND BLACK-
CAT. CASE.
"If you meet a black oat, s him to the tail."
This tremendous case is now pending before a
judicial tribunal of the State of Maryland, and
presents 'many remarkable features of the' trig& u
hp and apeoulative - capacity of the defendant in
the ease. For the bou fit, of the legal •profession
and gentle Men generally' ho may wish to enter
a new field of SpeClllStiOli, 14111 give 'a short his
tory of ihe ease as r heard it'.
ga me f e w years ago,a,geutlemen of Maryland
conceived the idea , that tin 4 1Moieuse fortuue could
'be' retailed by the rearing, Of black cats fir the
sake of their skies. The Principal:oh:staid° to the
plan was lnipessihility 47 Veriiin . g — the
together, and plevenethern from wandering, off,
as their activity assisted:by the penetrating quali
ties of their claws wouldtinable them to defy any
cocksure; and at last, tiger ranch thinking, the
idtlesilggested itself to'his Mind that water was
the only barrier-thsecallt would not pass. Being.
pes.sscsaidti of an island that appeared to, bo
just suitedAr i tltepytieopk,lns..found all obsta-
Vies tO the suceeSseef tat p removed; '''-and :sot:••
`About organizing the affair,
lie eteplayed an agent; and put out a circular,
in which he stated that he Would give,so much e
head for every Week cat that could be got. This ,
advertisement was circulated though all the coun
ties bordering upon the Chesapeake Bay and all
the negroes got hold of it. In a very short time
all the black eats through these . COUISitiS were
stolen by the nogrees and sold to the agent, tshe
had depots established at different convenient
points: Old ladies missed their favorlie cats, and
Mommod them as dead—but the negroes, incited
by the price offered, spared none. In -this way
one hundred and fifty Mack cats were .colleeted
and transported to the island, and the agent took
up his abode there like anothei Robinson Crimea,
as 'sWporintendent and guardian of the cats.—
Those animals appeared to enjoy thems t elves vest,
ly when first put en the island, . and spent their
time in either playlug 'with each other, or bunt
ing birds or grotieuVraiee; hilt at kat iheir game
failed 'them, and having, other supply of fond,
they 'became hungry and desperate, and: roamed,
about, the !eland in large , bands„y,elling forfood.,
They at last became . datigerons,.and the, agent
wroteempfoyel l s itatainent of these facts,-'
accompanied by"s reqUeit to knoW how he was to
feed them. lle wrote hack to'the agent to act a
couple of rtegroos to catch and mien oysters for
the cats, Which order Was carried out... The cuts,
having 'he a l ternative of oysters or starvation he:
fore them, very naturally chose' the furiner; but,
not being accustomed to such tt , natural food, It
species of cholera broke out ening them, and
ono half died.
This nein/nit - 3. dr&re the Eurvivors mad. and
they eithei committed siticide, or, in a fit of des
peratidn, Instarti to the main land. At any rate,
they disappeared, an d. rere never heard of more.
The agent then *roteagain to his employer to
acquaint him with tie result of ibis. new treat
ment; which neVis was iereViniatiied by the mod
est fisquest for the paymenfuthiswagesLfor this
cat experiment °coupled a space of upwatds of .a,
year. The latter was so indignant at the conduct
of both the agent and the eats:that be flatly re
fused, and the poosequence Of biz rofaCial was a
auit bratzght,4l. - thassgentwto recover-his wagos..—
This su:t haa,bten defended for same two years,
and during its progress I have hecomemcquaint--
.
ed With the fact..
As farna - tlie theory ortlibis7.ialiliition went, it
wee a magnificent idea. The skin of. the•_black
eat is worth in Boston 50 cents. The cat., I ... airt
told, coat the agent juit that sum. It Was atip
posed that they would iircrlt tae exehtly tenfold per
anntlin. tiat yetfr, rininher of cats; 150;
attend. year,. 1,500; third' year, 15,000,; from
which there could be obtained 5,000 temsforsale,
bringing *2;500, and leaving 10,000 stock cataro
rdaining, Which, at the above retie of increase,
would giVe the - iiibrin'ons "mid of 100,000 cats
upon the island, after whieb.79l theau7rplis; over
and above the last . numker, were to he .eaughtin
hovtraps and the:skins, sold to Boston furriers.
This'itock of 100,000 cats Avers to produco 1,00.
000 per annum, and constantly re be
derived from the island would be in -the ne;igh
boyhood of five hundred thousand dollars per an
num
The principal drawback to the enterprise was
the utter inability of the cats to organiSe or band
together for thwprirpose of assisting each other,
and thus facilitating their hunting operations;
so, after deep reflection upon the subject, it was
determined to import a couple of wild eats from
South America,' whose admixture with' hiS eats
would not only odd strength to the body and val
ue to the fur, but Whose executiVequalltics might
be brought to, bear in organizing the original set
tlers into large hunting packs--and them crrable
them to successfully pursue ava squirrels and
ground miee with, which the island abounded—
and„ in- fact,,to teach these unfortunate animals,
who, torn from
,the comfortable wars, of
course, ignorautof the necessity of savage life,
the mysteries of the Chase. Ile readily found a
friend willing to procure hlm.the new eats. I'm
afraid this, friend regarded the whole matter as a
joke, but at any rate,ho was faithful to hisprrim
iee, and as soon 11,fter-his arrival in life Janeiro
as possible, he ed some natives hunting,, who
caught two young tiger cats el. extraordinary fe
rocity, which bo-placed in a cage .anti sh ipped" to
