How to Prepare a Raw
Englishman;
BY R. R. RODDY,
AUTHOR OF THE BANDIT
OF THE ALLEG1IEKHS,
THE MANIAC'S RIDE,
ATIIANASE THE
AYENGEItj
AC.
Long years tgo, wbco Pl'pryU'Kjy
wcot "oldiering" t least once a
year, roaster-day mibt truly have
been called the "Anicricaa carnival."
All able-bodied citizens between
pightecn and forty-five year., net
member, of Miiforrncd coropany,
generally called volunteer, were en
rolled in tie "oorn-ttalk niclifcby,"
Tbe annual parude of that redoubt
j.'!e budy was a mad festival, v. Let;
pypg the greatest and widest becan.e
for tue noDiiiJ at froiio;j;v as tlie
most mitcbievous boys. Tbe penal
ty for not answering at roll call was
a fin of a dollar or t, aud even tbe
busiest preferred to turn out for an
hour or so, and fcave Borne Fpyrt, rath
er than pay the fine. A dollar in
tbofcrl dV8 Who uiucli IqT'Sct scm
than it in now, tboogh only w irib
100 cents. Towards tbe close of tbis
debatable custom it became commcn
all tbrougb tbe Mate, to elect as
captain of militia tbe person least
fitted for tbe office, and least able to
enforce any of bis orders or wisbes,
At tbe same time, tbe more incongru
ous tbp ttrcss'ttsfeunitd, tfoe more be
coming it was bcld to be, aud tbe
more popular tbe wearer. "Armed
and equipped as ibe law directs," was
among ibe biaiely and official phrases
uad lu orderiuic a parade. Tbis was
liberally construed to mean every
thmj, unibreiliis, pilcbfoiks, flails,
coru.fctulss, and in ono instance we
reiiienibcr teeing a "bold soldier bov"
gravely marching in tbe ranks with a
ifoodly lt'U''ih of stove-pipe on bis
bbouldcr.
Tbe military knowledge of the
officers might have been fathomed
nhboot Hue or plummet, when we as
sure tbe Herald readers that me of
thcui, in our own knowledge, being
haunted w ith an indistinct notion ot
"markiDx time," a dim remembrance
of seriuir the volunteers do some
ibinsr like it, iriavely command
ed bis company to "show leet,"
aud gave them an example by bold
iuj out first ope and then tbe other
ot a goodly sized pair, cf rougb-gbod
undt-rsundings.
Another illustrious commander, oi
the honor of w hose acquaintance we
could boast in early youib, but not at
the time referred to, was elected to
the honorable but onerous command
of a company of mullen stalk rangers,
and as was not uuusuul, w as exceed
ingly proud of the honor.
Ii was not customary to have mu
sic for tbe mililia, tbe volunteers gen
erally claiming it. On this occasion,
however, tbe lull drum corps was on
baud and beaded tbe company. The
captain was so charmed with tbe mu
sic, so t laied with bis honors, that be
could not keep away Irom the side ol
the drums, where be marched witb a
surpassing dignity and grace. Every
few rods he would wave bis sword,
the music would cease fcr an instant,
aud be would bellow out bis com
mands in thunder tones. The com
mands il is safe to say were noi found
in "fccott a 1 uci'cs," tue antnonty ol
that day.
In marching through the street tbe
captain of course displayed ail bis
military skill and daring, aud w hen iu
the cvuier of the tov. u be w aved bis
word, wheeled around to give an
important command he bad studied
out; tbe music ceased, the, captain
gave a toriiuu ol tiiscommaud belorc
he discovered be bad no followers.
They, in passing an alley had quieily
bled off ami -d it-appeared while tbe
captain was listeuiug to the mnrtial
strains.
Poor fellow ! Ii nearly broke bis
heart, and no perauaj-ious could iu-(
dure hint to take the field ftgain. j

Somerset bad, as usual, at that

population. Among the young men

madcaps as the Country could pro

consumed tbe midnight oil in batch
ing mischievous plots, in ibe execu

ger or trouble were spared to make
them iuccestful. Muster-day was to
them a nerfect God-scud. They spec
morjlbs in planning and anticipating
sport before, and w ere sure to have
abundant subjects for discussion, for
wetks after. . ; .
Some days before the general mus
ter of 13 ", one of the w ild blades of
Somerset received a letter from one
of, tbe Johnstown boys, wilh whom
ibev always maintained a close alli
ance, iuforming bim that they had a
"raw Englishman" there, whom they
w isbed to induce to visit Somerset.
Tl.at he was haughty,' overbearing,
conceited, and never ppoke except to
sneer at and depreciate everything
American. This important missive
wns discussed in full conclave, and

me. The only w ay 1 can account for
it is that they are meditating some

At tbis point in tbe conversation
another conspirator entered with an
air of depression that attracted im
mediate attention. . , .
"Have any of tbe scouts returned ?"
anxiously ctked the oue who acted
as -chief spokesman. The other
mournfully nodded his bead and in
a sepulchral tone replied:
"Oner" - , ;
With a deep feigh and subdued
and anxious voice the spokesman
asked:
"What docs be say ? Any hope ?"
"A war party of Cbew'-winks,
were at the mile tree, and be thinks
tbey had a good many scalps, al

" lben, gentlemen, we must pre-

could reply, the door was. thrown

In explanation of these fearful yelU

chance of adding to tbe terrors of their

Shortly after supper a great light
arose out on the hill near tbe Uugus
farm, aud as it spread and brighten

the flame. Tbo initiated at . once
discovered tbey were a lot of tbe
"Milford Riflemen," a company uni
formed in bunting shirts and drilled
as ranarers and scouts. Their dress,

evil fortune led him into their clutches.
After assurances in abundance that
there was not tbe slightest danger
and that so favorable an opportunity
of peeing the savage war-dancc
might never occur to him, be con

was one to deeply impress all who as

and bad even its efrVu oa these God

cockney shuddered and turned pa!e
aa the Vild figures could for a brief
time be seen struggling together and
then separating to yell and dance
more w ildly,
"P-oor creature! oh, If we could
only belp you !"
Tbp dandy tremlling asked what
the speaker meant, and w as told tbey
bad just been scalping some poor
white manor woman whom they had
captured and were torturing at that
tire.

bad never come. "Good God! Hits

Tbey all felt In honor bound to
provide for bis Eafety aud tbe only
cour.-e open would be to flee across
the mountains to Berlin, or on to
Cumberland, wberp bp would bo safe.
It was decided be sbould go that n-ay
and a couple of tbe conspirators wbo
lived at Berlin, and were going borne
that night iu the coach, Tolunteered
to accompany bim that far on tbe
journey. He was very grateful, but
did not w isb to take tbem into dan
ger, One of tbem said bis company
and arms Vers at the blockhouse
and be would be obliged to go some
time soon.
As it was near coach time, they
mournfully accompanied bim to it,
and solemnly bade him adieu. Hop
ing after the campaign was over and
peace made with tbe leading tribes
he would return, whea tbey would
cire bim all tbp information about
Indian customa, treatment of prison
ers, treaties etc., he could wisb.
He said, "It might 'appen you know,
but he feared be would hardly have
time." Some contended he was onjy
half cooked and ought to be kept a
few days longer. Others thought he
would be "done brown" in Cumber
land if be presented the letters of in
troduction they furnished bim, and
that it would be too much trouble to
keep up the delu-iion any longer.
That the whole party would have
to repent in "sack-coats and ashes"
for tbe lies tbey bad told and acted
during his stay. One declared he
would freely undergo a still severer
penance if he could only be in Cum
berland and hear his thrilling ac
counts of Indian outrages.
Of course the night ride to Berlin
was entirely taken up with blood
curdling stones of massacres, tor
tures, escapes from the savages, etc.
The dandy's nerves were so com
pletely shaken that be imagined
every moving shade or object on the
route was a lurking savage, and every
noise was their war cry.

The power of tbis railroad is no
secret. , It consists iu learning what

forgetting nothing that was good in
the former ones. Once or twice there
has beep, a Rioverceot to divide more
earnings or split the stock a little
ihiauer, but tbo absolutism and the
old fashioned sagacity of Garrett
have prevented tbis going through.
: His motto has been. "Economy in

restrict dividends for the sake of tbe

If you happen to notice that your

down tbe rod aud gire him a peeling.
These shoes were purchased only tea
months ago, and tbonyh too have
wora out two pairs of U,ts during
tbat time, the boy has no businesa to
be so bard oa sboea. By giving him
a sound thrashing you "will prevent
the shoes from wearing out.
When you want your boy to goon
an errand you should state it and
add:
"Now go as quick as yoa en. as J
if yoa are gone over five mtontei, I'll

Nine miles from Frankfort, oa tfce
road to Lexington, stands one oi tbe
finest richest farms ia Kentucky, that
owned by Mr. Alexander. Oa this
superb stock farm we saw 300
blooded horses, ranging in rank from
old "Lexington," the monarch of the
turf, to tbe kittenish and frisky year
ling. Here alo Mr. Alexander ba
collected $100,000 worth of tattl
comprising some of the finest Mock
in the world, and pcepiog iato tbe
enclosure wher3 the costly ettb
were kept, we saw on diminutive
heifer worth $27,000 and a variety of
foreign creatures whose value seemed
almost fabulous. On this farm are
bred the majirity of fine trotting
and running hrses which appear ia
our parks during the raciDg season
Mr. Alexander's estate which is ad
mirably stocked with fine farroboases,
barns and -tables, and which is more
like a ducal manor than tbe ordinary
American farm, extends orer 3,250
acres. Near by iaold John Harper's
modest farm of 2,000 acres. Tbe
roads, the stone walls, and the fine
lawns covered with masnive shade
trees, make a scries of delightful pici
ures. The annual sale of borses on

We paid respectful visit to old

mightier equine family. He is now
quite Mind, a veteran of twenty-twr,
afflicted witb goiter, and stood gazing
in the direction from which our
voices came, a melancholy wreck of
hit former greatness. Tbe princes of

ty as to charge incontinently upon
the fence where we were seated, and
the artist has depicted the result in a
spirited sketch. The negro men who
manage these erratic brutes undergo
