But we were both young ut tliat time, and fuk'ta, at leuft. has jtreatly improved. It was early in the "70s fifteen years apj that 1 found myself on a Missouri river steauiliuatleavingUuiahaand head ed up stream. I was not altogether clear as to where I waspoing, bat I had ail idea that I would stay by the boat as loiirf a my money held out, which would not lie very long. I hnited at least to reach Ihikola. Not tliat I had any ar ticular n-asou fur going to Ihikota more than to Texas ; but on the otiier hand, had Texas been as near I should certain ly have been as apt to have gone, there. About all I knew or any one else, for that matter concerning Dakota was tiiat j Yankton, in the extreme southeastern i part, was the capital, and that there was j a little settlement in tb:it region, a little ' more in the northeastern corner, w ith j jierhaj a very ew scattering settlers j along the rivers clsew here and a number i of forts, each with a few United States trooiia. Tile reasfjn that I came to think I was going t J explore the west was tiiat sever- I al weeks bclore I had run away from home willi that determination not a very good reason, but the only one I had. My reason for running away from home was even less obvious. But I was away and too proud to go back though Milw- j and apeared rather nervous and in con quent evenu rclu.-e-l mv stock of pri.le I siderahle of a hurry. I thought nothing several hundred percent if I mav lie I of this, however, as nearly everybody ulloe.l to put it somewhat atroiulr. I was almost beginning to consider myself a man. though I have since looked buck at the time calmly, and could notreuiem- j l-r that anybo.ly else ever acted as if he considered me anything more tlian a boy. t in the occasion of which I write the Isjat 44 adie Bolton " plowed lier way up the thick, muddy waters of the Missouri. The mate swore at the deck hands as oc casion required, the pilot swore at the river, the engineer swore at the fireman and pilot by turns, and the captain occa sionally apn.-ared and swore at things in general. Being of an inquiring turn of mind. I explored the lower deck and got into conversation with oue of the crew. From him I learned that Buck Hawkins was onboard. I had heard of Buck Hawkins I as the most dangerous man in that part j of the countrv. He staid no the river in the neigh borh.d of Yankton m.t of j the time, but I understoo.1 from my in formant had been down to St. Louis on some sort of business and was returning to Yankton. I felt anxious to see him as sn as I found he was on board. The man told me I could doubtless do so if I would take the trouble to hunt up the I sir, as heand some friends were indulg--ing in a wker game in that immediate vicinity. I soon found the place, and to my whispered injury a spectator informed me w hich of the four gathered around the card ta!4e was Hawkins. I was some what surprised, as he did not l-s-k as I had picture. him. He was small, not j over five feet seven or eight inches, and evidently weighed leas than 150 poun-ls. He had brown hair and gray eyes, and although his lace showed determination and fon-e, there was nothing of the reck less desjx'rado which I knew he had the reputation of being. I watched the game for some time. I learned that the cither three were all profi-ssional gamblers and that Haw kins w as losing. The room was full of spectators, as it seemed Jo possess interest for every one on the boat. Eve ry one expected trouble. There were great stacks of chips and money on the table, and Haw kins and the gambler op jsile hiiu each had a heavy six-shooter lying on the table in front of him, while the others had similar weajions in their Its. Every one knew that the gam- k-rs were not playiui? a a-puire game, and that it was only a question of time ! when they got all of Haw kins' money. That was the time trouble was expected. He had been drinking heavily ,ao! should he detft them tlutding it known he would not hesitate to shoot them all nnless they shot him firsL All the afternoon I remained close by the table watching the game Intently. I ha I become almost as much interested as thin player. Haw kins' tuucey wa slow ly but surely going. Once when Haw kins was dealing he happened to touch a pile of ids chips and they rolled off on the floor. Instantly I sprang and gather ed tliem up and placed tbeui 00 the ta ble. He just glanced at tne and said 44 Thank you," and was deep ir the game again. A lew minutes later there was a jack pot. Hawkins and the gambler went in. They raised each other nn'.il there were several thousand dollars in it. At last tltt-y laid down their bands. Hawkins had four kings, but the gambler hand the four aces, and reached for the money and chips. 44 1 reckon that was all fair, parson?" said Hawkins, as be looked across the ta ble at his opponent. " Ye bet it was, Buck ; ye know I nev er play no other way," replied the gambler, show ing at-Rie signs of nervoos- Dc. I'm glad of it," said Hawkins, picking up his revolver and holding it carelessly, 44 ye all know what I'd do if I thought it wasn't." 44 Shoot, of course, Buck, tiiat would be all right but it's sniar', ye can bet on it" 44 A U right," and Ha kins arose' from the table and went out, I saw nothing more of him that night. Tlie next day be approached me on deck and talked a few minute. He omer SOMERSET, PA., frnerwil that I had ran away from hwue and aJvuvd me to return, faying that it was no country for boys. I could acarcely conwive, a he gave me thin advioe, which I knew to be kkh1, that he bad without doubt killed a dozen men per hapH more. But it was a fiurL Hawkins left the bout at Sioux City and I went on to Yankton. The next five or ix weeks I sjient in the Tteinity of that pUtce working on various farms. I did not p-t very hih wajreji, bat I ntan agel to make my livinit. A tier some time 1 hired out to a man who was driving some stock np the river to the Yankton Indian asreney. There were some two or three hundred head, and there were sev eral men along with them. To niuke this trip I had invested in a pony. We arrived at the agency after several days, ami finding that my services would no louder lie required, I started to return on my pony. 1 was opoite Niobrara, Xeb. and luw k some four or live miiea from the river, when I met two men on bnrse- ! buck, each leailinji a string of live or six horses. Sjme of the ones which were In-ing led were wild, and were giving the men considerable trouble. They hailed me and after, as 1 thought, asking an un-ncci-sKiry lot of iuestions ixuuvrning uis I was. where I came Ironi. and where I was going, one of them said to i me: j 44 I'm sheriff dom n in Ncwbrasky, an' ! my jioilner here is dep'ty. We've got soute lus-nes what was stole that we're ta- j kin' back. They dont lead very well j and I'll give you $" to go with us this af- j tc-rnoon and to-morrer and help us , out. . " All right," I said. 44 Where are you P'"1 " ' going to cross . ow n att'hoatean creek." I should think there were a tar bet- ter "That's the Ijest cnwin round here we know this country like a book." I no information was wanted from ie. no I no more and went along with them. I soon saw they were re- markaoly well acxiuaiiiUsl a ith the coun- try, u1 appeared, to rather avoi-l wnai few roads and trails there were than oth erwise. We soon struck Chouteau creek and started down it, frequently crossing from one side to the other. I noticed that the men were lioth heavily armed, went armed, olficcrs esp.'.'ially, and it j was likely they wanted to make the crossing that night, and possibly they k-are.1 th it the thie.es might attempt to recover tne siock. e passe. i inrougn several groves of large Cottonwood trees, and then turned up the river. 44 lo you mind riding all night?" asked the slieriu". 44 No," I replied. 44 1'il make it a couple o' dollars extra. We want to cross up here an' get 'cross the p'int of the reservation an', over to Bed Bird, on the Niobrara, 'fore we stop." 4- Go ahead ; I'll stay with you." A little later I heard the sound of hoofs behind us. This gave me no uneasiness, but the moment it struck the ears of mv companions tney ux.k tneir vt mcnesiers fr"!" where they were fastened on the '1,4 n'' to lock back intently, moment later a dozen horsmen came around the point of a bluff at full s-eed Seven! of the party fire.! at us. My coin- panions returned the shots and dashed away, leaving the horses they were lead- j ing. I had no doubt that the thieves j from whom thev had recovered the hor ses were in pursuit, so followed as fast as I could. We were in an open place n-ar the river and headed for some cotton woods aliout a quarter of a mile distant. Our horses were on the run and though when I glanced back I saw that our pur suers were gaining on us, still we could easily have reached the timber ahead of them had not a shot from the party be hind hit tlie deputy sheriff. He fell tor ward and struck the ground heavily, w h ile his horse dashed away. The sher iff stopped and retnrned to him, while a ball w histled so uncomfortably close to my own ears that I concluded to do tlie same. Our pursuers came up and sur rounded us. It was growing quite dark by this time, and I could not well make out their ft-atures, though I thought they looked more like farmers than horse thieves. In a moment my suspicions were confirmed. "I reckon we've got ye this time," said one of the party, 44 an' ye bet well show ye what this 'ere vigilance committee considers good for horse thieves!" The wounded man was taken up and place-1 on horseback, two men were de tailed to guard each one of us and we started back. I tried to explain my con nection with the others but was silenced by the gruff voice of the leader, who as Mired me that I would have a chance to explain things at the triaL This relieved uie somewhat, as I had no doubt that I could easily prove my innocence. We nsle till about midnight, w hen 'We came :o a sural! cluster of house called Miner eral Springs. V.'e drew np before long log house, w hich proved to be a sal. -on and h itel combined. The bar-room was litupaud there were a number of men iusidu and hirses tied outside. They gave a ' loud cheer when they saw tlie prisoners, aud there was a great deal of hurried conversation. We were taken inside and placed under guard. Twenty or thirty men gathered in the mora when a man said : 44 Well, boys, we've brought 'em in, an' we got the bosses. I reckon we'd better try the wen an' fix everything ap to night. The t-lH-erman wiil please come for'ard." A man elbowed bis way through the crowd and took his seat on a box behind a card table. It was Buck Hawkins. I felt still easier, as I bad no doubt he would recognize me and set me at liberty. Tbe trial was very infomal, and the other two were quickly 'disposed of. They claimed that they had found the horses cached further up tin creek aad never stole them.' It was admitted that per haps they had found them hidden, but it was charged that some others of the gang put tliem there. 44 Besides," said one man, " g'pose they did find 'em cach ed what bw'netw tliry got tryin' to run 'euioutthe country?" ' " "That's it," said Hawkins, whe judi cial vifln.l instantly grasjied the import ant point, "they hadn't nobusiness at all, an' I reckon we'd better hang 'em fer luck." set ESTAJBL.ISHKD 18.27. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1887. This was assented to w ith a yell and Hawkins started to get np. I saw that I had been included with the others and that I must iTowd in my defense. I ac cordingly aiked them to hold on and told my story. When I had finished a short, thick-set man shoved his big hands a little deeper Into his pockets, and said : " " Gentlemen, I want to remark I've heered that air stry occasionally before this!" This was greeted by a loud laugh and everybody agreed to it. " But see here, Iiaw kiim," I said, my heart beginning to sink, You know me " you've seen me before." "Oh, I reckon I seed ye once,' he re plied, without looking at me. Then you know that I'm not a horse thief "Can't say that I do. 1 saw ye on a steamboat a couple of months ago, but horse thieves can ride on steam boats. Like ucar'.y everything else this was agreed to with loud applause. I saw that my chances were growing desperate, ami used every argument in my power to convince them that I was innocent The men I had fallen in w ith put in their ten ti ninny in my Is-half, but to no elfi-ct. Xhev were esxvially anxious to see me hang after one of the committee closely scrutinized me and identified me as Ine Rilling, one of the leader of the .ing. jie l,,ks young but he's a hard oue," explained the man. So it was settled tluit I should hang with the others. All seeiissd to be in favor of carrying out the sentence immediate!-. Here Hawkins rose and said : "tieiitlenien, it wouldn't be a fair shake fer the other boys wait till mornin' 'till they come in to help. Besides, the may bring in some more of tlie gang, an' we can string 'em all up t-ther." This was agreed to as readily as every- thing else, and w e were taken to an emp- j ty log house a little distance from the rest, and three men detailed to guard us. We were each given blanket, and I wrapsl mine about me and sank down in a corner w ith the most terrible feeling I had ever experienced. My past life came before me vividly and my mother, and the home I had so recently left with out cause rose up before me aixl caused me more bitter anguish than it seemed I could endure. My companions, harden- ed br a desiierate life and perham bv former hair-breadth escapes, conversed in j uut si,.,.e tj,e publh-ation of the Malr' whispers for some time, and took it j vote, my mail has be;n loaded with let very coolly. After some time the leader j tern and marked papers referring to the said: (subject. Even before that, a paper in the 44 Young feller, I reckon ye got to dance 1 South had been persistently advocating on air long w ith us.' Whether I replied or not I do not re member, but he continued : 44 I'm mighty sorry we got ye into it, but we 'lowed we'd get 'way all right. Ef they swing ye. ies' keep up and show T yer sand. They say ve're a horse thief ; act as if ye was one. A feller can't die but once." And with this philosophical reflection he rolled himself in his blanket, and heand his companion were soon asleep. I tossed and rolled in the corner, en able to sleep, and, I might dmost sny, una. ile to keep awake. I f.-lt dazed and stupiu. It must have been 3 o'clock when I I was startled bv thed.wr openina and one f the guards stepping in. He came over ' to mv corner and told me to come out, I j did so, and as I stepped through the di sir I saw a man on horseback, and another horse saddled and bridled. "There's your hoss," said the man as he leaned down from the saddle, and I reeognizsd his voice as that of Hawkins, "(let on, and I'd show you out o' this." At first I could hardly comprehend him. The prosjs-ct of deliverance and that by the judge w ho sentenced me fairly overiiowered nie. He warned uie to be quick, and I scrambled on my jH-ny and nsle awav by Hawkins' side, none of the guar-Is offering any resistance. We nsle for some distan.-e in silence. Then Hawkins said : 44 There's a loose biard in tiie floor, an' they'll think ye got ont there. I can't go with yo very tar, but I reckon ye can get away. Keep north o' Yankton, an' don't show yerself to anyliody if ye can help it. Skip lown into Ioway,an' then , turn to Chicago and eud my days there go home an' stay there." t in the practice of my prolessiou. c"l'II do that," I replied, "if I get aw ay." j "I am now -U." hecontinued reflective- " That's all right this is no country 1 lyt " and come of a long lived ancestry, for boys.

IMibiki Hrll. ROBERT T. LINCOLN. The Ex-War Secretary Talks Freely About His Position In 1883-Wouldnt be Vice President, Toj.kho, 0., August 30. The IiU1r, of this city, in its issue to morrow will give the report of a lengthy interview had by one of its represent Uives with ex-Sec re tary of War Robert T. Lincoln. The in terview was sought in continuation of the canvas made by the BUuU a few weeks ago, which showed that Mr. Linootd was the favorite tar Vice l'resiient of the large majority of those who responded. Mr. Lincoln received bis visitors in his office in Chicago. His appearance is thus described : Mr. Lincoln is a man ap proaching six feet in height, of splendid physique, ami weighing probably 200 pounds; a cheery, pleasant face, especial ly when in conversation, framed by brown hair and beard ; genial and cour-h-ous in manner, with a touch of that Ifitlntml') characteristic of his father; and a!bg.'tlH-r the sort ot man it is pleas ant to meet. In the plain, easy-fitting summer suit which he wore, it was hard to determine from his personal appear ance what his occupation might be. He certainly doe not wear the professional air of the old school lawyer, and to the eye of a stranger, as Mr. Lincoln jiasses along the street, he would probably lie classed as a business man pcrha(is one of the jovial spirits of the Chicago Board of Trade. Kiil LII XoT Att EIT SEIONU PLACE. To the qutvtion as to wliat he thought of the great preference exprew-id for him self as a Vice Presidential candidate on the Id-publican National ticket next year, he replied: 44 1 simply could not aceej-t the nomi nation to the Vice Presidency. To tke any ntfiee at all would be a great sacri fice ot my business interests here in Chi cago; and the Vice Prosidencv is no an offi, of such importance that I could af- fi-rd to think of such a 'hing. I most cer tainly should not accept the nomination for the Vice Presidency, were it tendered -.vhich I have no reason to think it will lie." The susgpstiiiu w made that there really seemed more likelihood of his re :iving the nomination for the Presiden cy than for the eerr,nd pwition on the ticket, and his views were solicited as to the contingency. HIS VIEWS nS THK 1-RESIIiENl V. m " I do not think so." said Mr. Lincoln. I me a a Presidential candidate. There is also a gentleman down in Western Penn sylvania w ho has been doing the same thing; and now there are others kind enough to publish pleasant articles about me. But while I am gratified by the kind tone of their references to myself, as an indejiendent xuatter, I greatly regret the use of my name in connection with any public ollice whatever. I say to you sincerely that if there were any way pos sible by w hich I could stop that sort of thing entirely and forever I should lie happy. I have written to several per sons authors of such articles, to say so, j lut they go right along regardless of my protests. It seems to lie diificult for the average American to understand that it ;s possible for any one not to d.lre the presidencv ; but I must certainly do not." CAKES OP OFFICIAL LIFE. A shadow passed over Mr. Limt-ln's usually pleasant pace as he went on : "I have seen too much of the wear ami tear of official life to ever have a desire to re entur it. Though I was a boy w hen my fathers became Pn-sident, I can well re memlier the tremendous burden he was called upon to bear. True, the conduct of the war made the cares of office then infinitely more exacting : but I have seen enough of Uie inside of Washington offi cial life to have lost all desire for it. Tlie Presidential office is but a gilded prison. The cares and worry outweigh, to my mind, the honor which surrounds the r sition. AH official life U infinitely wearisome. I had my till of it w hile a member of Mr. Arthur's Cabinet, and I uiade up my mind at that time, when my ollicial term was completed, I should re- leave in the unpleasant position, to use no stronger word, of a retired President. There is a fascination about public office, especially one of high dignity, which I can understand, but the more faarinating the position, the more disagreeable is tbe inevitable defeat which retires one to private life. I have seen many men to whom it came after their aptitude for the ordinary affairs of life liad passed away, as well as their apportunitics, while their nee.is remained in full force ; and I long ago resolved Uiat I would never, if I could help it, 1 in such a position. I went to Washington, in IStel, with reluctance, and was glad to come away. Mr. Lincoln went on to say he had called on tsenator Logan in l.H4 and as- ured the Senator he w as not a candidate for tie Presidency. He also, in passing, referred in strung terms to the necessity fsr coast defenses. He alsodeelared him self a thorough protectionist and express ed the belief that the protection policy is growing in favor. From this the conver sation turned to the silent colored vote in the South, upon which Mr. Lincoln Urns expressed himself. THE SOt Til EKS PROBLEM. " Trie re is a general denial that there is intimidation or fraud in the South, on the part of the greater portion of tbe iH-mncratic press. There is perhaps no bulldozing, no Ku-Klux outrages, no shot gun practice upon negro voters; but this is tiecause the lattjr understand that Uiey are not to exercise the right of sufferage, and dare not attempt it. If they did, there would be tpjubte, an-1 a recurrence of the shot-gun and bull-whip regime. I have talked with Southern gentlemen who freely admitted tiiat this is the actual state of things, bat they excuse them- j seres by declaring that the men who hold property will not allow themselves to be niled, br ignorant colored officials, -i Pi FPU', r They ab admit, that these practically disfranchised citiwns are represented in Congress by men elected solely by white vote, and that it is unfair to the rest of the States; but they throw the burden back upon the Republican party, on the plea that it enacted the legislation giving citizenship and the ballot to the freed mau. There is much race prejudice still existing in the South, and these people will not submit to be ruled by a class of voters whom they retrstrd as utterly in ferior. The SHither problem is a n t difficult one, and the proce-w of solution through education and enlightenment very slow. There is a feeling, too. that to allow the nrgro his equality of rights' as a citizen will envolve his social equal ity, and there is nothing more repugnant than this to the Southern whites. M" course there wotdd nothing of the sort follow : but this confusion of ideas is not strange, as we had the same tiling here in tlie North during the war, among the ant i-war Iemocracy." COt 1 11 iIVR No PI.KllOKS K THE PKKSI f.KNCY. Afferan interruption the visitor bronght the conversation back to the Presidential ltiestion. Mr. Lincoln went on : 44 I do not think there is anv likelihood I of mv ni-eiving the nomination. The men who make tiie tickets !.! hardly , do so without exacting certain pledge ! and those pledges I would n- give. Ii that Would sjn eud all talk of myseif. j I doubt whetherthere has been, for years a Presidential candidate for whom -er-sonal pledges were not uiiiie, either by himself or by his friends. Perharps it is not true of tjarfield his nomination as peculiar." The JUg-jestion was here made by the reporter that ther-eople would doubtless, have something to say about tlie next Presdctitial nomination, and that, for the first time since 1S.J0, the UepuMican e.,o-f n.uil.1 tm;,I;o Tiilii iri:it Ii in vitbollt. 1 . . , . , - having the uianag-rs take a prounuect part therein. 44 However that may be," resumed Mr. Limxiln, 44 the fact remains that I no' not desire the nomination, and if I coul-1, I would stop all further mention of my name in that connection ; and I hope it will cease." " But suppose the nomination is made. Mr. Lincoln?" 14 That is a hard question to answer." returned he. " But tell me," lie contin ued, turning earnestly U the reporter, " bave 1 iupr.-sssts! you as r.-a, ly mean ing what I have said? I.i von believe nie when I say I have not the Slightest desire to be a candidate for the Presi dency ? " A CEKTV'V .oXTIV'l.EV'l v. 44 Most certalniy," was th emphatic replv. And, in fact, no on- listening to: 1 . 0 - 1 ,- 1 . v . .1 Mr. Lincoln talk couid tail to be con- ' 1 .1 . 1 . .- ,1 , . ,v, 1 vinced that he was stating the exact truth aud tiiat he really has no personal ambi- I tion to be considered in connexion with I th.- nomination. I " Well, then," hecoiitinned, " I w ill say I this: A duty might be impressed uj-n a I man which he could not honorably . avoid." ' " The voice of the people is the voice of ; God." commented the rei-orter. " But I really do n.-t want it." Mr. Lincoln went on, not heeding the inter- j rupti.-n. " My fitness is not to be com- j pared with that of hundreds of other ' good Republicans, and I aai happier in i my present situation than I could j-oss- j ibly be in ollice. I would much rather ! continue my present life than exchange it f for the wear and tear of ollicial station, no matter how exalted. I cannot believe 1 that anv consi lerahle number of those i who will have to decide the matter will be in favor of a man who would, like my self, wish their defeat, in auy effort to nominate him." Our Institutions in Danger. Bv the cl-He of of the present century, and perhaps earlier, there will 1-e nn acre of the public domain upon which corn and wheat can Is? raised without irriga tion, subject to pre-emption or homestead entry within the present limits of the "nited States. Ileal estate w ill in. rease enormously in .alue. t iur surplus jsipu lation, no longer having the fertile area of free land over which to diffuse itself, w ill accuui late in cities. Tlie rich will become richer aud the poor wiil l-cou;e jssirer. The mid-He class will gradually disappear, as the struggle for existence tiecnmes fierce and relentless.

It is already proving itself to be the issue of Am -rican agriculture, not iHilv yielding no profit to the grower, but in taking the life's Wood out of the soil and s-hippiiig it oft in grain. It cannot be oliscrved, even by the common run of larmei-s. that farming in this country is carried on to a ruinous dtsadvantag by reason ot growing low priced and soil exhaustir.g crops, coupled with expensive and perishable rcachinery required to siive and prepare tiiem for market ; and that thex; are the scoiipvs which ops-rate as a perpetual drain on the farmer i income. But. as before said, the charge must come, and come oiiiy ilinmjji the aid of grass, an i 111 growing such animals as will produce tiie highest priced meats, not utily iu the markets of this country but of the world, whether -u tlie hoof, iu carcasses or in ca.sk s.
