A TALE OP THE TEXAS BORDER
EMI=3
Settlers along the of the War
lopa River, in Texas, had been Worked
to a pitch bordering on frenzy. For a
long time the Camanche Indicts had
been committing depredations of. a fear
ful character. and it. was now evident
that an open warfare must ensue. The
savages must be exterminated, or nearly
so; else the white Man would be driven
•om his home, or butchered upon its
threshold.
A. settlement of some thirty cabins had
been formed upe9 time Warlopa ; and
for its protection, and the safety of its
inhabitants in case of an attack, a blocks
house had been erected, on the bank of
the river. It was a 1;h-ring building,
surrounded by a high stockade, and from
within, a handful of .men could defend
themselves against hundreds of,their
saimge foes. It was well suplied with
provisions and ammunition, several large
hogsheads containing water were placed
within reach, in case an attacking party
would resort to fire..
111=1
The settlers were anticipatiLic l al at
tack .that very night, and Wolfe,- now
busily engaged in moving, the women
and children and such articles of house
hold goods that could be carried without
the use of teams. Scarcely had the set
tlers with their families secured them
selves within their stronghold, when a
will cry was raised, and the white men
gathered around. the remains of one of
their neighbors who had just been
brought in from a distant field: . The
body had been so horribly mutilated
that it was scarcely recognizable ; but it
was discovered to be that of George-
Maloy, a gentleman highly esteemed by
all. He had left home but few hour:
before to look after his cattle, and this
was all that remained to tell the story of
his butchery.
Revenge was pictured upon every face,
and each claspedligiiter the rifle it held.
Then the shout burst forth, "death to
the red devils—,death to Camanches
"Death and extermination to the ac
cursed Camanches !" repeated Colonel
John Pool. "But we must act with
prudence, boys. They are strong ;at
present we are weak. We must all re
main in the block house to-night, but I
expect the boys who are coming to join we
from the Valley will be here by daylight,
if not before. Wo can coma them at
least, three hundred with brave hCarts
and steady nerves. We will march into
the very heart of the enemy's country,
'and with rifle„ knife and fire teach those
red devils a lesson they will never/ for
get."
milecheee followed this brief ad
dress, but the sound was given back by
the wild shrieks of women and children.

in the wildest confusion and fright, run
ning in all directions to escape a fur
that the settlers had - not yet seen ; hu
it was understood at once that the tia
ages were at their hellish work.
Look well to - your vreapons,6ls,
ancelie ready for any emergency," said
Colonel Pool, as lie cocked his rifle.
"We may have hot work soon,sfollow
me."
h it
The flying yv men were net and toes
tkined.— TIMy statCd that the savages
had,got wit ni the stockade unobsei'ved,
while the settlers were viewing the re
mainS of Maloy, and were preparing to
burn the.,stUck . house. That this vas
true hecamo apparent, for the flames
wore 'now sot to leap up; encircling the
main building within the stockelle.
"Forward, mop 1" • cried the Colonel;
And in a few moments the settlers had
reached the hurning mass. It was found
ithpossiblo to save it, so completely was
the stronghold enveloped in the devour
ing element. .
But now a neiv horror presented it
self; - Upon the , very top of the middle
building a female form was seen clinging
to the flagstaff. The flames leaping
around- . her.,, She glanced down,-on a
soothing, furnace beneath her, and made
a movement as if to make a fetirful leap,
to the earthy but she paused; that would
be `'curtain death.
_The distance, - Was
-some forty feet, and.all within the stook-,
ade was a glowing mass; whore -,brush
wood bad been heaped by the savages to
faeilitate the burning: Almost., every
one,of those hardy men hold their breath
in agony of suspense ;••but'ii few voices
exclamed : "My 'God, It Lonnie
Moore I" • •
• Wo must .speak in detail or Jennie.
Sho,was the daughter of 014 o 4 the set
tlers ; pho was a 'little "wild•and roman
lb), but high-toned and. generous.,;. In
(lced, some of her acts of 'kindness had
won the regard of , number of Lapan
Jedinne, who. Joined the pale foes, in
consequence, becoming their fast friends.
Several of them were now present;" and
they, nlmost worshipped the maiden.
Their admiration was equal to :thei r
affOion ; for, Jennie could ride the wild;
est colt,r.handle her bridle skillfully, or
drive a canoe equal to a Comanche.
Sho l vhs as fearless as a warrior; yet ten
der and sympathetic as a maiden could
be.. _
' Wrirlopa, a Comanche chief, had seen
her, and becoming enamored with her
beauty, had sworn to capture her .and.
make her his wife. A.t, those threats the
girl laughed, for they did not trouble
her in the least. Not so with her par
ents ; for they felt an, anxiety lest -War
lopa should attenipt carry out his
threat.
During the afternoon of this eventful
day Jennie had left the lower aparmenta
of the stock house and ascended to the
roof. Hero she remained, gazing on the
magnificent prospect spread out before
her. Being fatigued with her labor she
hall accomplished during the forenoon
in assisting the settlers to prepare for the
attack, she fell asleep. After a.timushe
was aroused by shouts. Shea sprang to
her feat and listened, for below she
heard voices. Looking down she saw a
half a dozen °flint dusky fiends at work
within the stockade, and then the flames
leaped around the building. She was
within the circle of the fire.
Quickly , she descended the ladder, and
reaching the lower apartment, she found
herself 'Confronted by a huge savage,
who saw her face in the glare, and rec
ognlzingrber, he exclaimed :
"Ah, Good 1 me take you to the chief,
and get much reward."
As the Indian attempted to seize her
she sprang up the ladder again.
The Indian quickly followed. She
reached the roof, and as the Indian at
tempted to pass through the roof she
plunged a dagger in his heart, and he
fell back will! a yen. -
Her situation was now a dangerous
one. The flames were leaping around
her, and the apartment below was dense
with smoke. Nothing daunted, she
once more descended the ladder. But
upon reachirig the lower rooms she fell
senseless from stlflocation.
When Colonel John Pool discovered
he situation of Jennie he exclaimed :
"My God ! There is but little hope,
but I must save her or perish with her."
Wantoni, one of the - „Lapan Indians,
at tins juncture dashed forward and held
the Colonel' from rushing into thO burn
ing mass, exclaimed as he did so.
" Wantobi's life is nothing; Colonel's
everything. .He must lead his white
brother against the enemy. If she can
be saved, I save,—l, go."
Wantoni dashed forward. It was
with difficulty that the Colonel was, re
strained from- following; bnt he - felt - the
usefulness of the effort on his part, so ho
remained a watcher.
The Indian darted into the hurtling
mass, and was lost to view. He was
severely burned, but he succeeded in
reaching the lower apartment. It was
quite light, and he saw the form of the
maiden stretched on the ground. He
caught her in his arms, but - he well
knew that it would be almost certain
death to return the way lie came. But
his phuis were formed in an instant.
Into the ditch ho plunged, and crawled
forward with his precious burden, tak
ing cae&to r keepher head above water.
Onward he struggled, and soon he
passed the stockade, and reached the
river. He was now quite deep in the
water, but he quickly rose to the sur
face, only to find himself in close proxi
mity to a canoe containing a Camanche.
Ho was discovered, and a tomahawk
buried deep into his brain, he sank back
'ead.' Jennie was lifted into the canoe,
but she was still unconscious. "8 he was
quickly borne to the other side of the
river, and then handed over to Warlopa,
who detailed two of his warriors to
guard her.
When the ,watchers saw that Wantoni
did not return, they gave up all as lost,
believing that he had 'perished 'in the
flames together with Jennie.
But it was now time to prepare fur
self-defence, for the river was now filled
with canoes. The savages were advanc
ing to give them battle. Ono of the
largest dwellings was selected, and here
the defenders took their., stand. The
fight soon began, and charge after charge
was made by the Camanches, but with- -
out avail. Alany of ,their warriors had
fallen beneath_ the unerring -rifles of the
avengers. This maddened the'foe, and
they resolved to use fire. Soon wary
cabin was in flames, save that occupied
by the defenders. The sight was
mournful ono tcrall but the savages, who
danced around in devilish glee.
Presently a terrible volley was, opened
upon the redskins. It came frinn the
woods close at hand. The besieged
kiiewbat asSistanec had, arrived; - and
fhey darted from the cabin, while wa
cheer burst from their, lips. It was
answered by a terrible sho'ut ; and now
the unseen party appeared.
The savages had already taken to flight,
leaving l'i, - Ufgo number of killed behind
them. They plunged into the river, and
gained the opposite bank as best they
could, not even 'pausing there, but push
ing rapidly towards their stronghold in
the mountain.
• - - • .....
Those who had so timihy arrived Wore
weary with their long march, and:re
quired a few hours rest. But it was
decided to follow up the Citnianclies
witlaut necessarydelay.
,Daylight came,
and a search was made among the ruins
of the block house. The charred re
mains of an Indian were found,. but it
was decided that it ,was not Wontoni.
Nothing could be discovered of Jennie . .
Soon after the body of the friendly
Indian .was found,,:and the manner of '
• his death was plain. Hero, was a
mystery.
At ten o'clock that day . over three
hundred well•armed determined avengers
sot out for the camp of Warlopri. They
calculated; from the distance, that they
would be able to reach it by dark the
second evening._ "No quarter to the
accursed Cainanclies" was the watch
word. They, „felt confident of success.
The friendly LaPans acted .as guides.
Whop 'Jennie Moore found herself
really a captive, ,she' : did not give away
to
~g rief as most maidens would havel
dope, On On contrary, , sho was very
cheerful,. and : often she buret out hi a
song, Making the mountains

were following her, they might hear her
and reCognize her ;voice...
When it was over the ahief said :
" White Bird sings-well—she must be
come my wife."
" When do you propose to do me that
honor ?"
-
"To-night." • ,
" To-night !" she repeated, With tIH
shudder, as she v7,ed around.,
The chief seemed to • divine her•
thought, and continued : "Yes, to-night
you rest in Warlopa's arms. You can
not escape, and your frowns will not
avail. lam a great chief. My. lodge is
black With scalps of the pale face ; my
hands are red With their - blood. ,The
pale maiden's chief, is dead. I killed
him. Ile is gone to the hunting grounds.
Palo face maiden see him no more."
"Did you kill Colonel Pool?" she
asked, her eyes flashing fire.
"Ough •
"And my father and mother?" .
•" All fell beneath the hatchet of the
red man. Your valley is laid bare. In
the ashes.of your , home lay that you
love. Where stood the Pale faces of
yesterday is now smouldering ashes of
their homes. Palo maiden's friends are
gone. She will see them no more.
For soniO time Jennie rerimined silent
and 'several tear drops fell from her oyes.
„put she became suddenly cheerful again
and said : "Well, if I•have lost all, I
suppose I may as well be content to live
-a-wild-Kai-and I have no doubt but that
I can find muolt enjoyment. I think I
shall make a capital Indian wife. You
don't know what I can do. Why,
venture to say I can heat you with a rifle
now."
" Ough "I
"Don't you believe inn I"' she cried
" Well, we will see. Take your weapon
and split yonder saplipgwith We bullet."
The chief tired, but missed hiS mark.
Jennie laughed derisively, and ex
claimed :
"Nosy load and let - me try.'
The ijfie n•as charqd and handed her
A largo number of warriors - were
watching her She raised the weapon to
her .stroulder, and "aimed toward the
sapling
No one dreamed of her intentions.
She hesitated a moment, and while still
retaining her position, hissed through
her teeth.
" Chief, your lodge is bNck with the
scalps of the pale feces, your hands are
_redWith their blood. You killed the pale'
face chief, my father, mother and lover.
Now receive your reward."
Quick as thought she changed the
direction of her rifle, and fired. liyarlopa
uttered a howl and fell back dead. The
heroic maiden had shot him through
the heart.
_Fo.r..fi time the savages did not utter,a
sound—they appeared to be stricken
dumb with surprise. But soon tiny re
covered, and, the most fiendish yells burst
forth. It seemed that she would be in
stantly torn to pieces, but an Indian in
terposed and 'Fiavei her. She was lashed
to a tree, and brushwood heaped around
her: She felt that there - was no hope,
and she resolved to meet death without
exhibiting any weakness.
The sun was low in the west. • The
avengers had pushed forward with ,all
possible . speed, and had arrived within
half a mile of the caniti. It had boon
decided to delay the attack until mid.
night.
A guide was sent alleaii to reconnoitre.
Ho stealthily approached. the camp, and
at a glance saw what had transpired.
Ho was satisfied, what thB result would
be, so ho hastened back and informed
his friends.
An advance was immediately ordered,
and it was not long before three hupdrecl
rifles were leveled in deadly aim at the
hearts of the Gallia nclies, while They were
still unconscious of danger. Then came
the volley, followed by a charge, deadly
in ite results. The Tudians attempted re
sistance, but it With a feeble one, and
brief. Many of their number escaped by
flight, but the dead covered the ground
in every direction.
That lelison and • the one received at
the settlement were indeed salutary ones,
and the Comanches (lid not spec venture
to molest the white man again.
The joy of .Tennie was great when she
found that her parents and he• lover were
still alive ; and the joy they experienced
'at the recovery of their treasure was no
less than her own. -

AN EDITOR IN TROUBLE.
A. week or two ago one of nitr report
ers had occasion to•refer to a cortdin wo
man whom we
as a "denizen''
A day or two afterward a Loge man
entered the office, with his brow clothed
with thunder. In his hand he carried a
fearful club, and at his side trotted a
bulldog, whom hunger• had made desper

With-that quick appreciation of the
situation which is creditable to the su
perior intelligence of educated men, the
editors of this paper and proprietors
darted to Or tvindow,.climbed outside,

across the street to watch the bloody

With the fearlessness of conscious in

our legs in two sections of stove pipe to

Tho man with the club approached.
"Are SPZm tile editor?" ho asked, spit

A NIGHT WITH A jIARIAC.
B : 1! A :17 OLIN 0 "BURGEON.
_„
' • The • maniac was a giant. He had
Broken his heavy chains As Samson broke
the withes—bad torn open the door of
the cell—torn the keeper, literally in
pieces—burst open the door—killed the
watchman, with n heavy iron bar he
,Wilenehed from the door 7 and escaped
with his formidable.weapon into the city.
The whole place was aghast at thii news ;
and wo students at the hospital and dis
secting room, who were eounected with
the asylum, had to nerve ourselves to
help.capturfs the escaped wild beast.
I bad gone 'to the dissecting room,.
alone, and was about to commence using
the knife on a subject. There was a
sterol raging, and with a low sob the
wind swelled through the long aisle 'of
forest trees, and flashed with the gath
ered forco of an ocean wave against the
`detid-house. Simultaneously,, a hand
struck the light door, and the yell of a
maniac rang through and through my
brain. _ '
Above the door, through the small
ventilator, the face of the madman and
the murderer peered down r at me.
"Ab, halailiave caught you at last—
here—and alone I have been waiting
for you.. You took Inc once, didn't you!
Ha, ha ! Let me in." •
The coolness of imminent peril brought
my powers to action. I held his eye an
instant ; but it was evident ho was too
wilil.for that; Lis blood. was up, and it
raved with eager ferocity through 'the
room and over the frail walls. With the
light bound of a leopard I gained the
door, and shut the double holt. Agleam
of rage darted from his eye ; but he
" ha I 'Yon think that
will keep me out ?"
He leaped to the ground. In, an in
stant the light was out. . •
" Wait," I cried, "I have a weapon
in my hand keen as a razor. It is poisi ,
oiled 'by the dead body I hart been
working on. Burst the door, and I'll
plunge in in your heart. If it but touch
you, you are a dead man. You may
kill me, but I'll kill you as certain as
there is a Hod."'
The -swarthy giant shook the door
until its hinges creaked and groaned
beneath his hand. Then laughing again
low to himself, nmitercd, "fool, I'll out
wit you yet l" and then stole off in the
daticness. I heard him, for an instant,
pressing against the wall of the build
ing, and it swayed and bent inwards
with the weight, Then silence. The
din of my pulses made thunder in my
ears, as I tried to hear his -Mating tread,
and the sobbing wind rose anew ,with
weird shriek,_ making my efforts fruit
less.
A thousand times ,I heard his low
devilish, murderous laugh, A. thousand
times I felt his brawny strength against
the door, and saw Isis wild faco look
down at me through the gloom ; but still-
Ise did not come. I tried to think he
had abandoned the design, and slunk oil'
discouraged ; bat I knew it was not so—'
I knew he was crouching in sonic corner,
on the watch to spring on me when I
passed.
Could I stay there all night I No cer
tainly not. An. hour more, and Harry
Leigh (my young wife's brother) would
come to see me—come unconscious of
this hanger, until a bloodhound at his
thmat would choice the brave young life
down there forever.
CZ
I listened, in the interv4liii of the now
fitful storm, to hear if lie was breathing
near me.' I waited for the nextlull. It
came—that deep Inkih that follows the
gusty wind. I put Aiy soul in'the sense
of hearing, but- no human shadow or
sound greeted it.
When the storm swelled again, I drew
the bolt, and looked into the night;
black pall bung over the earth and, sky.
I had as good a chance to pass him in
the obscurity as he to catch me. Willi
my knife in my teeth and the massive
thigh bone of a negro to tell him
if I innst, I drew oil nay -shoes, and
stopped Out into the darknesi. A sudden
whirl of the tempest almost took me off
my feet, and a black, dislolved from one
of the chimneys, grazed my head in its
passage, and brelze in half mt •a'e pave

With bated breath, and It step like the
trend of a panther scenting his prey, I
parted the think darkness and turned
my. face towards the hospital. Ile might

in a snlitorranean passage ofthe asylum.

What tr 7 hgic pitfalls might lurk at every

The passage grew narrower. ,We
were, perhilps, under the dory centre of
the building, and.farthest from the out

' the effort exhausted Mc. I ktiew noth

Presently he would run nie down. It
would be a terrible venture, but the ne

the mighty heaving of my spent chest

me.. r heard him come rushing on with
new strength through the blackness,
reach the angle, turn it, striking his
massive body against the jutting stones,
I heard hint spring like an animal on
along the track.. I felt his hot breath
like steam—the fUam of his set jaws
flung across my face—and he stopped.
I felt that ho was feeling for me—that he
was crouching on the stones. I saw the
red of his eyeballs glare up at me through
the darkness. I felt the touch of his icy
flesh on my hand. Lilco lightning he
raised himself, and, throwing his vast
weight against me pinioned me to the
stones. ,And the mad rage of a man at
bay singed upward to my brain. I
, clasped my knife convulsively and seized
him by the throat, resolved to die hard.
It was hair—it was shaggy. The hands
against my chest had .a thick coat of fur.
I clasped him to any breast. It was

brute, as he saw me, and his eyes settled
into a dull, lurid glare, impossible to de
scribe, as he hissed out, "Ha ! this is

Around the blazing gate, in, the clos

shook hands over the gladness of our
reunion and after the Story was over,
and the horror first, and, the laughter
after (at the close of my adventure), and
Derby and King had left, and Harry

hills, there was something very like tears
over the bright blue eyes as lie .pointed
to the grated walls of the mad-house;
and said, "Constance would have gone

(CAPTAIN KIDD
A REARM FOR RIDDEN TREASURES
-At the present time it is said that two
expeditions, sustained by considerable
capital, are pursuing the search for _cap
tain Kidd's money, one somewhere in
New England, and the other at Oak
Island, Nova Sc&ia. No one has for
.gotten the huge stuns of nioncy sunk in
a coffer-dam on the North River, a few
yettrs'sYnce in, the search afteriine . of
Kidd's vessels loaded with hold and
yi:r and diamonds; and it is probable,
that, the two expeditions above-named
are math° only seekers. Here and there
along our shot es it is not uncommon to
see ono;. two or three individuals pur
suiug the saute search. On the whole,
it is probable that a
„ great many people.
- really4ielieve, that the treasure Riz, be
found. A few facts, ddiere 7 fore. where
there is so much ratio., may be worth
recalling. ' : _
Doubtless ono of the most terrible
names in the juvenile literattm of. Eng
land and English America, during the
last century and a half, has' boon that
of •William Kidd, t.ho pirate. In the
nursery. legend, in' story and in son - g,
his nettle has stood forth as the boldest
and bloodiest - of buccaneers.
The terror of. the 'ocean, when abroad,
he returned from his successive voyages
td lino oal• coasts with silver and gold,
and to renew with 'the devil a leagno,
cemented with the blood of 'victims idiot
down, whenever fresh returns of the
precious ineto.s.,itSre to•Jio hidden: •Ac.
cording to the superstitions of COnnecti
,cut and Long itt..was owing to
these bloody charms that honest money
diggers have ever experienced so much
difficulty in recovering the barled treas
ures.• Often, indeed, beim the lids of the
iron chest rung beneath the mattock of
the stealthy midnight searcher for gold;
but the caches of .stilpifutous fires, blue
and red, mad the sauber-eyes and chat
tering teeth of legions of demons have
uniformly internosed te frighten the del
'vers' from their• greedy 'clutches._ But
not Withstanding ~the hairrowlng sensa
tions connected, with the name of Kidd,
and hie renown as a pirate, he was'-but
.ono of the last and most inconsiderable
of that race of sea-robbers, who during
Along series of ' years in tho seventeenth
century, 'wore the .admiratioa 011 the
-world for their ipowers; and its .terror
for their crimes. .
In thit latter part of thestrienteentlt
century,, Icidd was in. command •of • a
'merchalt" vessel trading -bet Ween Now
Yorkband - London,ncb,'svas celebrated
foi•fils nautical skit and enterprise.
The' first mention him in authentic
colonial, history occurs iirlool,"in, which
year, the ".Journals of the New York
Assembly" toll us that on the eighteenth
day of April much credit was allowed to
be duo him "for the manygood services
done for the province, in attending with
his vessels." But "hi what,,capacity or
for what object ho thus attended with
his vessels does not appear. It was also,
declared that he ought to be suitably re ,
warded.. Accordingly, on the foUrteenth
of May following, it Was ordered by the
same Assembly "that the sum of £l5O
be paid to Captain Kidd as 'a suitable
acknowledgment for thedmportant bene
fits which the colonies bad received from
his hands." The - -presumption is that'
those services were in some way 'con.
nested with the protection of the colonial
merchant marine front the attacks of the
pirates: - wirto were at times hovering
along the coasts °Ube northern colonies.
Indeed, the harbor of New York was - no
stranger to the, pirate vessels, and the
commerce between them and the "peo
ple of figure" in this city was not
It was no great secret
that the pirates were frequently in the
Sound, and were freely supplied with
provisions by the inhabitants of Long
Island; and , still further, it is well
known in the year 1695 that tho English
freebooters had fitted out their vessels
in the-'very-harbor-of'-New York itself. -
On the arrival of the pirate vessels from
their cruises their goods were openly
sold in the city ; and the conduct of the
colonial governm u thit was such that col
lusion; •jf not direct partnerships, be
tween them and the public authorities
was not
Such Was the condition of affairs when
Robert Livingston, of New York, recom

Kidd, as a man of integrity and courage.
well acquainted with the pirates and
their places of rendezvous, and as one in
all respects fit to be entrusted 'N'''itlt the
command of a vessel engaged in such
diacultnervice. A ship was'accordingly
procured and equipped, and placed tin.
der the command of Kidd, who sailed
front New York under a regular com
mission, in April, 1696. For a time he
served faithfully ; and on his return from
his first voyage he was received with
public honors and awarded ;mother grant
of £250. But on his next voyage It,
stretched away to the Indian Ocean and
became a pirate himself,' Selecting the
Islandof Madagascar ati 'llls principal
place of rendezvous, and burning his own
ship, after capturing one that suited him
better, his depredations upon commerce'
are represented to have been great.
It is beyond doubt true that Long' Is
land sound contained several of his hid
ing places. "Kidd's Rook" is well
known at Manhasset, upon Long Island,
to this day. Here he is .supposed to
have buried some of his treasures ;,.,and.
many have been the attempts of the
credulous in this ',fiction to find the hid
den gold. There is also no doubt that
he waswont to hide himself 'and his mes•
sel - among those, curious rocks in
Sachem's Head harbor called the Thim
ble Islands. In addition to the "Pirate's
cavern," in this vicinity, therq is upon
one of these rocks, sheltered front the
view of the sound, a beautiful artificial
excavation of an oval form, holding, per
haps, the meastwo of a barrel, called
" Kidd's Puna Bowl." It; 'was here,
according to, the traditions of the neigh
horhooa, that he used to carouse with
his crew. It is a fact beyond controversy
that he was accustomed to anchor his
vessels in Gardner's Bay. On ono men
sion, in the night, he landed upon Gard
der's Island and requested Mrs. Gardner
to proVide a sapper for himself and at
tendants. Knowing his desperate char
acter she dated not refuse ; and fearing
his displeasure she took great pains, es
pecially,in roasting a pig. The pirate
chief was so pleased with tier culinary
success that on going away he presented
her with a cradle blanket of gold cloth.
It was of velvet inwrought with gold,
and very rich. A.small piece of it yet
remains in possession of the lamily. On
another occasion, also, when he lauded
upon. the island. he buried a casket of
gold, silver and precious stories in pre
sence of Mr. Gardner, but under the
most solemn injunction of secrecy.
Repairing soon after this occurrence to
Boston, where' Lord 13ellamout chanced
to be nrthe tim , .; - he Was'sunnnoned
fore his lordship and ordered to give a
report of his proceedings since ho had
Sailed on his second voyage. Refusing,
however, to comply with this demand,
ho was arrested on the third 'of July,
1699, on:the charge of piracy. Ile ap

THE TEACHING OF EXPERIENCE
•
• Maine prohibited bylaw the sale of
'AlcohOlic beverages nearly twenty years
ago—her first . Prohibitory Act baying
been . passed iiiffiniMary, 1852. It was
repealed two or three years afterward,
but reenacted the next year, and..bas
over since held its place on the ;statute
book, though Our Ciyil War induced
great laxity iri its execution and a very
general audacity in its violation. About
three thousand places at length . existed
~where liquor was more or lose openly. Sold
despite Its inhibitions, which are sub
stantially these :
" 1. The sale of all intoxicating liquior,
distilled or fermented, is prohibited, Save
by single sworn agents for medicinal
purposes. 2. Where liquOrs are found,
they are seized and confiscafed ; and
wherever they are suspected to be kept,.
Officers may procure a warrant and serireh
the premises. 3. Keeping intoxicating
liquors with intent to sell, is violation of
the law. 4. For proof of having , sold
one glass, the tine is $2O, and a bend' of
$l,OOO not to offend 5. For a
'second offence, the penalty is increased
to flue and imprisonment, 60 days; or
more. 6. The seller is held responsible
for all damages, losses, expense,' of sick. :
ness,.injuries, &c., caused by his liquor.
And, 7. Property owners, who know
ingly rent any building for this illegal'
traffic, are hold liable."
cTho Waf being ended, the Legislature
soon proceeded (March 1, 18070 to en-
force Prohibition by creating a State
constabulary expressly to suppress liquor
selling. Here is the gist of the instruc
tions given by-the chief Constable to his
district deputies
"Immediately after receiving your
commission, proceed to learh who aro en.:
gaged in the unlawful' sale of Intoxica
ting liquors within 'your jurisdiction.
Call. upon them personally, and kindly
ask them to abandon the liquor traflic at
once. Make a record of each person's
name, his place of business, and his an
swer to your request, reporting the same
to me.
"After notice has lama given to a
violator of the law, and the e4ttee, is not
heeded, then visit ,the offender with the
whole strength of the law, in eve r ry form
possible ; for much of your success will
depend upon the energy with which this
in done."
This procedure caused two-thilds of
the three thousand liquor sellers to
abandon the , business. The rest have
been under discipline over since. Still,
liquor selling is not wholly suppressed,
any more thom gambling or adultery is
by the legal prohibition of these vices
under the laws of this and other States.
Gov. Chamberlain, in his message . for
870, says :
'" The laws against intoxicating li
quors are as well executed and obeyed as
the laws against profanity, theft, nn
chastity, ormurder."
To the same effeit,
...Gov. Perham, in
his message last January, says :
" . " . later yoare; .. of. discussion, Maine
adopted thePolty of prohibition, and
the present law, whore it iienferced,
se far as I can judge, as effective in the
suppression.of the traffic as are other
criminal lasVs against the crimes they
are intended to prevent. In a majority
of our counties, the law appears to be
well executed, with. very favorable re
sults."
In Maine, the total collections -of
Federal internal revenue arum distilled
and fermented liquors is $97,805 per an
num. ,In New Jersey, it is $593,025.
Like. contrasts between Statest which
prohibit and those which do not, are
general.
Rev. Ovid Miner, who bas been trav
ersing the State as an observer, and
from ,whose.'"eport we condense the
above, says':'
"Notwithstanding the - present in
crease in certain towns of illegal selling
—the principle of prohibition is practi
cally and thoroughly maintained in the
tura' districts and *small .villages, ern
bracing three-fourths of the whole popu
lation of the Sate. Scores of gentlemen
assured me that this is undeniable. And
although first-class hotels and fashion
able drinking houses are seldom ar
raingcd, still there is not a week, nor
scarcely a day, in the cities where liquor
is supposed to run freest,,that violators
of the law are not arrested and fined.
This is notorious.
"The Sheriff of Cumberland county
informed me (as substantially did othor
ofllcial.o_that._`.tho,_enforecraentmf-tho z ,
Liquor Law had undoubtedly reformed
and saved many."Phat, during and
since the war liquor bad rim more 4eely,
and that young men of the cities were '
falling into WOVAC habits oT tippling.
'But,' he added is mt. so in. the coun
try.' iitt the least doubt but
the law is of great valve to the whole
State; nor that prohibition is the
tled-policy of thei4plo„Thera4ill
a waking up, too, ere long, to its thOrough
enforcement. '
" The Yortland City Marshal informed
me that ' three-fourths and more of the
liquor-selling wits in low Irish tenements
and cellars, and that nearly all arrests
by the were foreigners.' Al 4
though houses patronized by the rielr
and fashionable undoubtedly moll liquors •
in more or leas concealed ways,. and :IVO'
winked out of sight, yet violations of the
law were being constantly reported and
punished.' "rho law is admirable
,to
repress, and I do ant knotv how we could
live here without it, Formerly there
were public -disturbances and fightings
nearly every Sabbath. Now, Sabbaths
in Portland aro quiet as a country Nil.
lade.' It is evident'thaf. suppressing
the liquor traffic- greatly diminishes and
drives out of sight the social evil. There
is not . one oion-knozon house! of
in the city.'" , , •
These facts are surely. desoiving of. ,
general and dispassionate consideration.'
