THE OLD RANGER'S LECED
OF TIIE SCIOTA.
BT HEBRON BELL.
Nature's great rolnme lay open bfore me,
and I vat regiling my intellectual appetite
with brilliant gems, written by the Creator. I
was seated in his cathedral ; the primeval for
est that stood in lofty grandeur, undesecrated
by the woodman's axe. Indian summer bad
wrapped its hazy atmosphere around the vari
ed scenes of Central Ohio, a season of the year
jnost fitted for masting, for ideal imaginations
To league with the favored nine, and cull the
fairest flowers that bloom in the garden of
posey. Poetry was written on the leaves that
ernicd to fall "before the autumnal
TPS to bo heard In the sparkling
nrby, that flowed towards the
lover a rime at tue loot 01 the
1 1 was seated. And sweeter
brer heard from the deep toned
louiand voices united in the
lea of the city, was the music
rom the tiny throats cf a thousand
jrs of the grove. And there was
breeze that swept gently by, waf-
lbling leaf from its lofty borne, far
fough tbe air, and anon dropping it
vpon the gilding stream, where it'aailed like a
miniature bark upon the river of lite.
II y rifle, ready loaded, lay unheeded by my
side, while the squirrels jumped from branch
to branch above me, regardless of danger ; and
; well they might be, for their gambols were un
s noticed ; "while my mind was occupied in the
- glad ripple of the rushing waters, and in the
unceasing songs of the birds. The shadows
; of the surrounding trees were already growing
. long. A solitary crow lit upon a dead tree
;. near me, but no sooner had he folded his wings,
than by natural instinct, be became aware of
Lis proximity to danger, and giving a loud
'caw,' he was again upon the wing. Bousing
from my reverie, I watched him until he had
disappeared beyond the neighboring forest
and then with careless purpose, I commenced
kicking about the leaves that covered the brow
of the hill ; my foot struck something which
sent forth a dull sound, which so excited my
curosity, that I cleared the gathered rubbish
of years, and found a rifle barrel half buried in
the earth. Upon a more careful examination
of the ground, I found tho breech-plate and
remnants of the lock. I was busily engaged
in examining each article, and noticing the
inroads that rust and exposure had made upon
it, when I was aroused by the rustle of leaves;
turning in the direction from which the sound
proceeded, I beheld an old veteran known far
and wide, as "Old Ranger." His true name,
no one of my acquaintance knew. When the
eldest inhabitants settled upon the banks of
the Darby, he held undisputed sway through
out the heavy forests, and wild barrens. His
head was white with the frosts of many winters,
and his form was bent with age, yet bis eye
sight was so good that he could aim a rifle bet
ter than half the boasted shots in the surroun
ding country. I could have wished for no
person more likely to unravel the mystery that
nveloped the rifle barrel. I saluted the old
man cordially, and desired him to rest awhile.
"I have a mystery here my friend, here is
a rifle barrel that I foUnd just now upon this
bank and I desire to know if you are acquain
ted with its history," said I.
"Indeed," he replied, and his eyes sparkled,
while old memories seemed to send the life
blood in a swifter current through his veins,
lie took tbe rust eaten barrel from my hand,
and giving It a careful examination, contin
ued; You could not have hit upon a better per
son to explain it than Old Roger."
"Then I am lucky and should like to hear
the story."
"You shall hear it," he answered, 'for it can
soon be told.'
"It is fifty yean since I first trailed deer
along the banks of the Darby. Early one fall
a man named George Gardner fell in with me,
and after a few days we agreed to camp dur
ing the winter. Some three mijes above on
the creek, we built a rough cabin as a protec
tion against the weather, the wild beasts and
the savages. One pleasant afternoon in this
same month, we started out to take a range
throughout the woods, for the double purpose
f getting a fresh supply of venison, and hunt
ing for a salt lick .that we supposed to exist
somewhere between onr cabin and the union
f two creeks. Several hour were spent in
bad T--
wate
aisif
t Pv
ri, le
m
awayy
the examination of the banks as far aa this,
without any success, and then we thought we
would strike out into the woods, and try our
luck at game. We struck what is now called
the lower end of Bigot's prairie, just as a small
party of Indians crossed the upper end. As
soon aa we saw them, we put back under cover
of tbe trees, but their sharp eyes detected us,
and then began a tight race. Certain death
would be our doom if caught, and onr chance
of escape against such odds waa but slight.
Throwing aside every encumbrance except our
rifles and hunting-knives, we started down the
creek. With loud yells they followed closely
upon our trails.
"For nearly two miles we kept the same dis
tance ahead, then taking advantage of a gravel
shore, and a high bluS we crossed the stream
and started up again on the opposite side.
Their yells grew fainter and finally ceased al
together, when we pursued our way more leis
urely, and again crossed tbe creek, at the riffle
just below what is now called Ford's eddy.
We thought we had evaded the savages, and
stopping a few moments to rest, we listened
attentively, but heard nothing.
"We had intended to camp out when we left
our cabin, but our race put a different notion
into our heads, and we started for borne on a
well beaten track, that ran along the bank of
the creek. Gardner was leading the way ; jnst
as he reached this point, he paused as though
he had heard something ; a rifle cracked, and
the next instant I saw a big Indian step from
behind a tree. Throwing down his rifle, he
approached mc with his tomahawk raised above
his head, a deafening whoop rang through the
woods. Quick as lightening I put my rifle to
my shoulder and sent a ball through his brain
Knowing that no time was to be lost, I started
at full speed to the next riffle above here,
where I crossed the stream again. In less than
an hour I was in my cabin. My eyes did not
shut that night ; and my thoughts were any
thing but pleasant. I was perhaps the only
paIo face' within a circuit of fifty miles or
more, and at times I could see the glaring eyes
of poor Gardner set in death just aa they ap
peared when he fell. The next morning I pro
ceeded carefully to this spot, and found his
body down there at the verge of the water with
his scalp gone. At the foot of yonder tree I
dug a grave and buried him. Expecting that
the Indians had taken his rifle for a prize I did
not look for it. They must have overlooked
it, foe his initials are yet visible upon this
barrel."
It was growing dark in the woods as I par
ted with "Old Ranger," and so deep an im
pression had his story made upon my mind,
that when I beard two cross limbs shriek as
the rising wind moved them, I actually turned
expecting to see a bugh Indian step from be
hind a distant oak, and level a rifle at my
heart. Sly home, however, was soon reached,
and the rifle barrel was added to my stock of
curiosities, while its sad and fearful history
was uppermost in my mind for months after
ward. Genius of ike West.
Gen. S. Houston on Fierce. In a recent
speech made by the hero of San Jacinto, at j
Austin, he paid his respects to President
Fierce in the following terms : j
"I charge Mr. Pierce with having trifled
with the best interests of the country. He has
produced a degree of disarrangement in the
political elements of it, which was unknown to
any former period. The old Jackson Democ
racy stood upon principles. They were con- I
servative, and adhered to the Constitution and
tbe Union. It would seem an attempt had
been made to engraft upon them others that
were alica in principle, and could not be relied
on without a portion of the 'loaves and fishes,'
whilst the capital of patronage waa expended
in bounties to enlist new recruits, to raiso force
sufficient to secure him victory in another
Presidential campaign. Not relying upon
principle he has had recourse to expedience,
and finds himself at this time in the most de
plorable condition that has been known to any
former President-
"His enemies have reason to rejoice at his
situation. It is my country that sustains the
blow, and no matter whether it results from
his incompetency, or from a misfortune inci
dent to the times, or a want of capacity on his
part to govern the country, I must deplore its
unfortunate condition."
Gov. Wise Insane. The Charleston, Vir
ginia, Advocate says that it had its fears as to
the sanity of Gov. Wise, and wished that its
apprehensions had been wrong, but that this
painful affliction to his family and to the State
Is too true for jest. The Advocate continues :
"We do not know whether the friends of Mr.
Wise will obtain a commission de lunatico in
quirendo, and turn over the government to Lt.
Gov. McComas, or keep the unfortunate Gov
ernor under private surveillance, and let his
personal and political friends exercise the ex
ecutive function? for him. The difficulty is a
serious one, and we hope that no steps will be
taken without mature reflection."
"Bahney, where have you been ?" "To
widow Mulhoney's ball, and an illigant time
wo had of it, four fights in fifteen minutes, and
knock-downs with the watchmen that left but
one whole nose in the house, and that belong
ed to tbe tea kettle. Bedad, the likes were
never to be seen since we waked ould Donally."

CROMWELL.
The difference of opinion entertained by
such distinguished writers as Hume, Claren
don, Carlyle, Macauley and Gnizot as to the
character of Cromwell, is hardly greater than
as to the cause of the melancholy which over
shadowed the latter part of his life. Was it
remorse for the execution of the Kingf Was
it dread of assassination ? Was it grief for
the loss of his favorite daughter T Was it the
disappointment of his hope of founding a dy
nasty 7 To all these questions we have now to
add another i Was it fever and ague ? One
person at least, we think he must be a physi
cian, suggests this physical solution of the rid
dle. He says
"Cromwell died of intermittent fever or a
gue ; next to the plague, one of the most vir
ulent scourges of England in the olden time.
Bishop Burnet tells us, it destroyed and weak
ened so many in one season, that part of the
harvest was lost, from the lack of men or wo
men able to gather tho crop. Assuming the
epidemic form, it periodically ravaged Lon
don, until the surrounding marshes, MoorfieMs,
Wapping, and Lambeth, were drained ; since
then, the disease has almost totally disappear
ed from tbe metropolis. Cromwell's father
died of the "cruel ague" himself, when his
son was a young man ; his mother, brothers,
sisters and servants were grievously afflicted
by it; and his first appearance in public life
was to oppose the crown commissioners, who,
with reams of parchment and rolls of red tape,
attempted to obstruct the drainage of the un
healthy fens surrounding his native town of
Huntingdon.
"A well-known psychological fact, connect
ed with the baneful effcets of marsh malaria,
is supposed to throw considerable light on the
less understood peculiarities of Cromwell's
character. Hypochondriasis, like ague, is fre
quently caused by atmospheric influence in
the form of malaria, and the peculiar debility
produced by both these diseases, predisposes
the human frame to subsequent attacks. So
the gloomy shadow of an apparently perverted
religious fervor, that ever enveloped the great
man, waa probably occasioned by hia youthful
residence in the marshes of Huntingdonshire.
Tbe predisposition to ague accompanied Crom
well through life, to the last scene of all. Af
ter the battle of Dunbar, he bad a severe at
tack, and the subsequent exposure during an
unusually inclement winter, nearly proved fa
tal. In March of the following year, be
"thought he should have died," but recovered
till May, when, utterly prostrated, he returned
to Edinburgh, where he became so much
worse that at one time his army really believed
be was dead. In June he was so f ir recovered
aa to be able to go out in a coach, but relapsed,
and another month went over before he was
restored to health.
"About seven years afterwards, the Protec
tor, worn and harrassed in body and mind,
watched by tbe death-bed of his favorite daugh
ter, Mrs.Claypole. For a fortnight, she scarce
ly left the chamber, till at last her excrucia
ting sufferings were terminated by her death.
Intense grief for thia amiable woman, proba
bly not unmixed with feelings of remorse, ac
ting on an already enfeebled and predisposed
system, brought on a return of the ague a
last attack of tbe life-long, insidious enemy,
ao often repulsed, but now to conquer ; and in
the memorable tempest of 1658, in tbe turmoil
of the conflicting elements, Cromwell died.
As Waller, in the inflated style of the period,
tells us :
Nature herself took notice of his death,
And, sighing, swelled the sea with such a breath,
That to remotest shores her billows rolled
The approaching fate of their great ruler told.
"It is an interesting fact connected with the
last illness of this remarkable man. that pre
judice prevented bis physicians from adminis
tering to mm mat invaluable medicine, the
Jesuits' or Peruvian bark. The drug had been
introduced into England about three years be
fore ; but, one Underwood, a London alder
man, having died after taking it, a strong Pro
testant prejudice arose azainst ita dm. Ercn
so late as the great no-popery processions that
took place in London after the discovery of
the pretended Meal-tub Plnt in irto k..t nr
Jesuits' bark was carried In mnoh- .i
ignominiously burned with the none',
Nor waa it till the commencement of the eigh
teenth century, that by the atrennoua exertions
of Sir Hans Slcane, that this truly excellent
medicine became popular."
One other extract from the same writer ia
instructive aa ebowiag the revolutions which
time enects in public opinion. The moat de
voted admirer of the "blessed martyr" at the
present day could hardly read it without a feel
ing of sbame". It suggests, too, another his
torical mystery though of less importance.
- "We read ' la (he Journal of tht Houst of (Zm
mons, that, on the 8th of December, 1660, it
was "resolved by fhe Lords- and Commons,
assembled in parliament, that the carcasses of
Oliver Cromwell, Henry Ireton-, John Brad
shaw, and Thomas Pride, whether buried in
Westminster Abbey or elsewhere, be with all
expedition taken np and drawn on a hurdle to
Tyburn, and there hanged up rn their coffin
for some time ; and after that, btitied under the
said gallows." In conformity to this resolu
tion, two bodice, said to be those of Cromwell
and Ireton, were taken from graves or vaults
in Westminster Abbey, on Saturday tbe 26th
day of January, 1G61. On the following Mon
day, those two bodies were taken on a cart to
the Red Lion Inn, Hoi born ; and on tbe same
day, another body, said to be Bradshaw's, Was
disinterred, which, the next morning, Tues
day, was also taken to tbe Red Lion. On tbe
following day Wednesday the 30th, the anni
versary of the execution of tbe First Charles
the last indignities were perpetrated on the
three bodies, as we are thus informed by a
newspaper of the period : "To-day, they were
drawn to Tyburn. When these three carcas
ses were at Tyburn, they Were pulled out of
their coffins, and hanged at the several angles
of that triple tree, where they hung till the
sun was set ; after which they were taken down,
their beads cut off, and therr loathsome trunks
thrown into a deep bole, under the gallows."
By another newspaper of the time, we learn
that "the heads were placed upon poles, on the
top of Westminster HalljBradsbaw's being pla
ced in the middle,immediately over that part of
the hall where he bad sat as president at tho
trial of Charles I.; the other beads placed on
cither side."
"The above are all the traces left of this re
volting affair. Why threo bodies Only wero
desecrated, instead of the four decreed by tho
resolution of parliament ; why they were pul
led ont of the coffins, as the newspaper states,
instead of being hanged up in them, as the res
olution specially directed ; why they were ta
ken to the Red Lion at all, ar enigmas impos
sible of solution at the present day. Moreo
ver, it is, to say the least, exceedingly doubt
ful whether any of those desecrated bodies
was the mortal remains of Oliver Cromwell.
Whero he really was buried, is a question that
has never yet, and probably never will be sat
isfactorily answered."
THE WORLD'S BENEFACTOR.
Who, that has had opportunities of reading,
but bas heard of the philanthropist, Howard,
the greatest part of whose life was spent in vis
iting the prisons of Europe, and administer
ing relief to countless numbers of suffering in
mates, and whose name will go down to remo
test time, crowned with the honors which mil
lions yet unborn will bestow upon it 7 In tbe
same category we may place tho name of Miss
Nightingale, the devoted, self-sacrificing he
roine of the Crimea. But while we give due
honors to such names, we should do injustice
to a noble and generous heart, were we, for
one moment, to forget the name of noixowar.
The possessor of an immense fortune, which
would allow him to traverse the world in search
of pleasure, he chooses, instead, to devote his
leisure and his talents to the benefit of his fellow-creatures,
by dispensing among thorn tho
most remarkable remediesever yet compound
ed, and which he himself discovered after
years of unremitting toil and research through
out the vast cabinet of nature. To these re
searches Professor Holloway was first incited
by the enormous amount of suffering from va
rious diseases which he everywhere saw a
round, and tbe sad inefficiency of medical art
to meet and vanquish them ; and Ibe sueces
which has met him at every step yet no great
er than he anticipated a as proved his well-
earned reward. So great, indeed, has become
the popularity of his medicines, even' in the
remotest corners of the earth, that his parent
establishment in London outstrips the largest
in the world ; and their marvellous virtues
have been extolled in almost every language
from pole to pole. W have seen innumera
ble testimonials from persona who have used
these remedies stacks upon stacks in which,
their wonderful powers are extolled in the
highest degree. In a climate so variable aa
ours, the most insidious diseases are likely to
take root before the patient himself is aware
of it, and an immense amount of suffering ia
thereby entailed, in many cases causing death,
in fault of ignorance of the proper remedies,
which, applied in time, would have prevented
the fatal result. In every case of incipient
disease, and even in cases far gone, recourse
to Professor Holloway 'e never-failing reme
dies will save months of painful illness, if not
life itself. We do not overrate the man, nor
his medicines ; but what we are confident of.
we are willing to bear testimony in its favor ;
and as far as our absolute knowledge extend,
covering a space of years, we feel competent
to speak upon tbe subject in the warmest
terras. Therefore, it is our earnest wish that
not a family in the land should be ignorant of
the Professor's remedies, and that they should
always be kept on hand to use in cases ef and
den illness, as they will operate as well as pre
ventives as curatives ; whrte there is no possi
bility or danger to tha system arising frosa
their Use. Brs!e Inttlhgeimr.' , '. j
