FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1881.
THE TEXAS CA'tLP-MEETING.
Brilliant Description by Judge Arriugteu.
The following article was -written by the
late Judge A. W. Arlington, ei.e et the
ablest anil most eloquent men the Chicago
bar ever had. lie resided a number of
years in Texas.and. stepping en his way
te Chicago in New Yerk, he published the,
article under the nom-dc-plume of Charles
Summerfield in the New Yerk Times. It
se appears in a work entitled " Tales and
Takings," by the late Rev. J. V. Watsen.
Doubtless Mr. W. did net knew the name
te be fictitious. Tiie apostrophe te water
has been declaimed most eloquently by
Jehn B. Gough hundreds of times, and
doubtless the publicjfcnerally think
him the author :
During the last week in September,
1S3C, the first successful camp meeting was
held in Eastern Texas. I employ the oi ei
thet "successful" because several previ
eus failures had apparently tendered efforts
of a like kind per fee ly hopeless. Indeed,
the meridian, at this period, was most
uncongenial te the religious andmerai en-,
terprisc. The country bordering en the
Sabine had been occupied rather than .set
tled by a class of adventurers almost as
wild as the savages whom they had scarce
ly expelled and the beast of prey, which
still disputed their demaius of primeval
forests. Professional gamblers, refugees
from every land, forgers of false coins,
thieves, robbers, and murderers, inter
spersed among the nice of uneducated
hunters and herdsmen, made up the
strange social miscellany, without courts,
or prisons, or churches, or schools, or even
the shadow of civil .tutherity or subordi
nation ; a sort of unprincipled pandemo
nium, where fierce passion sat enthroned
waving its bloody sceptre, the bowie-knife !
Let no one accuse me of exaggeration for
the sake of dramatic effect. I am spc.ik
ing new of Shelby county, the home of
the lynchers, the terrible lecaie, where
ten years later, forty persons wcra pois
oned te death at a marriage supper.
It will be obvious that in such a com
munity very few would be disposed te
patronize camp-mcctings ; and, accoul acceul
ingly, a dozen different trials at various
times had ncer collected a hundred
hearets en any single occasion. But even
these were net allowed te worship in
peace ; uniformly, the firt day or night
a band of armed desperadoes, headed by
the notorious Watt Fecman, chief judge
atid executioner of Shelby lynchers, broke
in the altar and scattered the mourners,
or ascended the pulpit and threatened the
pieachers te a gratuitous robe of tar and
feathers. Hence all prudent evangelists
seen learned te shun the left bank of the
Sabine, as if it had been infested by a
cohort of demons ; and two whole years
elapsed without any new attempt te erect
the cress in se peiileus'a field.
At length, however, an advertisement
appeared premising another effort in be
half of .the gospel. The notice was unique
a perfect backwoods curiosity, both a.s te
its tenor and mode of publication. Let
tne give it verbatim ct literatim :
" Jtarbecue Camp-Mcctlng.
"Thcie will be a camp-mcellng, te com
mence the Iat Monday of this month, at tin;
Ieuble t-prlng Greve, heir Peter "ri'iteuS, in
the County et Shelby.
"The exercise-, will open with a splt'iuli'l
barbecue. The preparations are being U!a.e
te suit nil tast."-" : there will ben geed bar
becue, better liquor-, and the best of tJepel.
" Sept. 1, !":. Paul 1kte:,',
' 31'ssienury, M. E. C."
This sigular document was nailed te the
deer of every public house at.d grocery ; it
was attached te the largest trees at the in
tersections of ail ci oss-reads and principal
trails ; and even the wandering hunters
themselves found it in remote dells of the
mountains, miles away from the smoke of
a human habitation.
At first many icgardcil the matter as a
hoax, played by some wicked wag, in ridi
cule of popular credulity. But this hypo
thesis was negatived by the statements of
Peter Brinsen. propiieter of the ' Deuble
Spring Greve,'' who informed all in
quirers that "he had been employed and
paid by n stranger calling himself a
Methodist missionary te provide an ample
barbecue at the period and place adver
tised. "But the liquor, the belter liquor ; are
you te furnish the liquor, tee ?' was the
invariable question of each visitor.
"The missionary said he would attend
te that himself," said Brinsen.
He must be a precious original,"' was
the genera! rejoinder ; a preposition which
most of them afterwatd had ti oppor
tunity te verify experimentally.
I need hardly add that an intense ex
citement resulted. iThe rumor took wings
and fiew en the wind, turned te a storm,
a storm of exaggeration, every echo in
creased in its sound, till nothing else
could be heard but the " Barbecue Uamp
meeting." It became the focus of thought,
the staple of dreams. And thus the un
known preacher had insured one thing in
advance : A congregation embracing the
entire population of the country, which
was likely the sole purpose of his strata
gem. I was traveling in that pat t of '1 exas at
the time, and my imagination being in
Uamcd by the common curiosity, I took
some trouble and attended. But, al
though my eyes witnessed the extraordi
nary scene, I may well despair of the un
dertaking te paint it ; the pen of Hemer
or the pencil of Hogarth wctc alone ade
quate te the sublimity and burlesque of
such a complicated task. I may only
sketch the angular outlines.
A space had been cleared away immedi
ately around the magnificent; "Deuble
Spring," which boiled up with sufficient
force te turn a mill-wheel, in the very
ccntic of the evergreen grove. Here a
pulpit had been raised, and before it was
the inseparable altar for mourners. Be
yond these at a distance of fifty paces, a
succession of plank tables extended in the
form of a great circle, or the perimeter of
apolygen, completely enclosing the area
about the spring. An odoriferous stream
of the most delicious saver diffused itself
through the air. This was from the pits
of the adjacent prairie, where the fifty
slaves of Peter Brinsen were engaged in
cooking the premised barbecue.
The grove itself was literally alive,
teeming, swarming, running ever with
strange figures . in human shape, men,
women and children. All Shelby county
was there. The hunters had come, rifle in
hand, and deas barking at their heels; the
rogues, refugees and gamblcrs,with pistols
in their belts and big knives peeping from
their shirt besoms, while .here, and there
might be seen a sprinkling of well-dressed
planters with their wives and daughters.
The tumult was deafening, a tornado of
babbling tongues, talking shouting qu-ir-reling.betting
and cursing for amusement.
Suddenly a cry arose, "Colonel Watt
Feeman ; Hurrah for Colonel Watt Foe Fee
man !" ami the crowd parted ribt and
left 'te let the lien lyncher pass.
I turned te the advancing lead-star of
all eyes,and shuddered inveluutarily at the
satanic countenance that met my "lance
and yet the features were net only youth
ful, but eminently handsome; thchidcous thchidceus
ness lay in the leek of savage fire ; fere
cieus, murderous. It was in the reddish
yellow eye balls, with arrewy pupils that
seemed te flash jets of lurid flame ; in the
thin sneering lips with their everlasting
icy smile. As te the rest, Jte was a tall,
athletic, powerful man. His train, a
dozen armed desperadoes, followed him.
r eeman spoke in a voice, sharp, pierc
ing as the point of a dagger : "Eh, Brin Brin
eon, where is the new missionary ? We
want te give him a plumed coat."'
"He has net yet arrived," replied the
planter.
"Well, I suppose we must wait for him;
but put the barbecue en the beards ; I am
as hungry as a starved wolf."
"I cannot till the missionary comes;
the barbecue is his property."'
A fearful light blazed in Feeman's eyes
as he took three steps toward Brinsen,
and fairly shouted, "Fetch me the meat
instantly, or I'll fill your own stomach
with a dinner of lead and steel.
This was the ultimatum of one whose
authority was the only law, and the plan
ter "obeyed without a murmur. The smok
ing viands were arranged en the table bv
a f-core of slaves, and the thretig prepared
te commence the sumptuous meal, when
a voice pealed from the pulpit, loud as the
blast of a trumpet in battle. "Stay, gen
tiemeu and ladies, till the giver of the bar
becue asks Ged's blessing !"
Every ear stilted, every eye was direct
cd te the speaker, and a whisperless si
lence ensued, for all alike were struck by
Iiis remarkable appearance. He was
almost a giant in stature, though scarcely
twenty years of age. His hair, datk as
the raven's wing, flowed down his im
mense shoulders in masses of natural
ringiuis mere beautiful than any ever
wreathed' at oil ml the jeweled brew of a
queen by the labeled achievements of
human art ; his eyes, black as midnight,
beamed like Btars ever a fac j ai pale as Pa
rian marble, cilm, passionless, spiritual,
and wearing a singular, indefinable ex
pression, such as might have been shed by
the light of a dream from paradise, or the
luminous shadow of an angel's wing. The
heterogeneous crowd, hunters, gamblers,
homicides, gazed in mute nstenishment.
The missionary prayed, but it sounded
like no ether prayer ever addressed te the
throne of the Almighty. It contained no
encomiums en the splendor of the Divine
attributes ; no petitions in the lone of
commands; no orisons for distant places,
times or objects ; no implied 'instruction
as te the administration of the govern
ment of thfe universe. It related exclu
sively te the present people and the pres
ent hour ; it was the cry of the naked soul
and that soul was a beggar for the bread
and water of heavenly life.
lie ceased, and net till then did I be
come conscious of wecpiiig. I looked
around thieugh my tears and saw a hun
dred faces wet as with rain.
" New, my friends, partake of Ged's
gifts at the table, and then come and sit
down and listen te His gospel."
It would be impossible te describe the
sweet tone of kindness in which thest.
simple words were uttered, that made him
en the instant fiOO friends. One heart,
however, in the assembly, was maddened
by the cvideuces of the preacher's wonder
ful powers. Cel. Watt Feeman exclaimed
in a sneering voice : ,: Mr. Paul Denten,
your reverence lias lied. Yeu premised
us net enlv a geed barbecue, but better
liqu.ir. Where is your liquor :'"
"There !'' answered the missionary in
tones of thunder, and pointing I113 motion
less linger at the Deuble Spring, gushing
up'in two strong columns, with a sound
lii:c a shout of joy from the b;sem of the
earth. "There V he repeated, with a leek
terrible as lightning, while his enemy ac
tual lyticmblcd at his feet : "there is the
liquor which Ged, the Eternal, brcw.5 for
all his children !
"Net in the simmering hlill, ever r.ek-
ing (ires, choked with poisonous gases, I
and surrounded with the stench of sicken-'
ing odors and rank corruption, doth your i
Father in Heaven piepaic tue prcciem
essence of life, pure cold water. But in
the green glade and grassy dell, where the
red deer wanders and the ehild loves te
play, there Ged himself brews t ; and
down, low down in the deepest valleys,
where the fountains murmur and the rills '
sing, and high upon the mountain tops, i
where the naked giatiite glitters like geld !
in the .sun, wheie the storm cloud breeds i
and the thunder storms ciash ; and away,
far out en the wide, wide sea, where the
hurricane howls music and big waves rear
the chorus, 'sweeping the march of Ged,'
there he brews it, that beverage of life,
health-giving watc
" And everywhere it is a thing of
bea'tty : gleaming in the dew-drop ;
.singing in the summer rain : shining in
th- ice-gem, till the trees seem turned te
liui jewels; spreading a golden veil
ever the setting sun, or a white gauze j
around the midnight moon ; sporting in
the cilaraet ; sleeping in the glacier ;
dancing in the hail shower : folding bright ;
snow-cm tains softly above the wintry
weild, and weaving the many-colored iris,
that seraph's zone of the sky, whose warp
is lite rain of earth, whose woof is the
sjnheam of heaven, all checkered o'er
with celestial llewcrs, by the
in.stie hand of interaction, still
always it is beautiful, that blessed
cold water. Xe poison bubbles en its
brink : its foam brings net madness and
murder; no bleed stains its liqjtid glass :
pale widows and starving orphans weep
net burning tears in its clear depths ; no I
drunkard's shrieking gliest lrem tile grave
curses it, in words of despair ! Speak out.
my friends, would you exe'i-jnge it for the
demon's dviefc, alcohol '.'''
A sheet illk" the re.tr of the tempest
answered, '-Ne !" " Ne !"
Critics need ncer trll me again that
back-woodmen ate deal te the divine voice
bf.elequcnce ; for I saw at that moment
the missionary held the hearts of the mul
titude, as it were, in tiie hollow of his
hand ; and the popular feeling ran in a
current se irresistible that even the duelist,
Watt Feeman, dared net venture another
interruption during the meeting.
Ihave just reviewed m rcper' et that
singular speech in the foregoing sketch ;
but, alas ! I discover that I have utterly
failed te convey the full impression, as
my tcasen and imagination teceived it.
The language, te be sure, is there ; that I
never could forget ;but it lacks the spirit,
the iencs of unutterable pathos, the ca
deuce of mournful music alternating with
the crashes of ten iblc power ; it lacks the
gesticulation, new graceful as the play of
a golden willow in the wind, and anon
vielentas the motion of a mountain pine
in the hurricane ; it lacks that pale face,
wrapped in its dreams of the spirit land,
and these unfathomable eyes Hashing a
light such as never beamed from sun or
stars, the mighty soul that seemed te dif
fuse itself among the hearers as a uew
less stream of electricity, penetrating the
bra:n like some secret iirc, melting all
hearts, mastering evolutions.
The camp meeting continued, and a re
vival attended it such as never before, or
siucc, was witnessed in the forests et
Texas. But, unfortunately, en the Last
day of the exercises, news arrived en the
ground that a neighboring fanner had
been murdered and his wife and children
carried away prisoners by the Iiniims.
The young missionary sprang into the
pulpit and proposed the immediate orga
nization of a company te pursue the sav
ages. The suggestion being adopted, the
mover himself was elected te lead the
party. After several days of hard riding
they overtook the barbarous enemy of the
grand prairie. The missionary charged
foremost te his troops, and, having per
formed prodigies of- bravery, fell, net by
the hand of an Indian, but by a shot from
one of his own horsemen.
I need scarcely name the assassieu ; the
reader will have anticipated me the in
carnate fiend Cel. Watt Foemen, chief
hangman of the Shelby lynchers and ten
years later a master cook at the poisoned
wedding.
Such is the only fragment of the biogra
phy of a wounded genius, the sole twink
ling ray of a dazzling luminary, that rose
and set in the wilderncss, a tern leaf from
Paul Denten's book of life. Peace te his
ashes. He sleeps well in that lene isle of
evergreens, surrounded by the evergreen
sea of the prairie. Nature's beloved seu
inherits her ceusistcnt tomb, that last pos
session, the inalienable fee simple of all
time.
Il the gentlemen wlio-e lips pressed the
lady's snowy brew and thus caught a severe
cold had but u-ed Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup, no
doctor bill would have been necessary.
