The Last Iniian Battle of Old Kentucky. The ability of the renegade Simon j Grtrty combined the warlike tribes be yond the Ohio in an expedition which . ii ii vr . lie ably, conimanaeu. ino name was uure abhorred or dreaded than his. He was the incarnation of cruelty. He was one of the four-sons of a drunken" reprobate who wandered into the ex treme west of -Pennsylvania, and was there murdered by some companion wretch. He was adopted the Senecas, and except for a brief period when in the emplov of Lord Dunmore on the frontier, he lived with them in the Shawneee. At one time he and Kenton were brother scouts, and the rem 'in brance of it induced him, in a caprice of mercy, to save his old comrade from the stake to which he was already bound. But the weakness was never repeated- He advised and witnessed the burning of Col. Crawford, and laughed heartily at the wretched suf ferer's prayer that his torments might be ended by a bullet. He was a slave to drink and when under its influence it is said "he had no compassion in his heart." Girty profoundly and sin cerely hated the white man, and lost no chance of displaying his animosity. Assembling more than six hundred picked warriors of the Shawnees and neighboring tribes at the old Indian town of Chillicothe, he moved rapidly and secretly, crossing the Ohio where Cincinnati is now built, and pushing toward the settlement in the Bluegrass. Silently, on an August night, Girty with six hundred Indians, surrounded the station. Within it there was ac- tivit y and preparation, for the nienjed.to retrieve the error, and how Trigg to start at early dawn to relieve aad Todd and scores of others, the Captain John Holder's little fort, across j jest men ef the country, fell, has often the Kentucky, which was reported as j h3Pn told How Nethcriand held the threatened; but no one dreamed that : ford single-hand, and rallied 1 he routed Girty was near.

" c J t tunatelv a vollev checked them before it was too late to regain tne stocliade. Elija Craig was their eommander, and from his experience of Indian tactics he guessed the force and plan of the enemy, and foresaw the seige that he was to repel. Fortunately, there was provisions and ammunition, but from improvidence the enclosure did not takein the spring of water upon which the garrison must rely. ' Calling all the women together, he explained that the Indians were cbn- eealed, as he believed, in force about the spring. But he thought that the ambuscade would not be developed until an attack by a smalller party on the other side 01 the stockade, intended to divert the pioneer's attention should be m ide. and' he asked the women to volunteer to fetch water from the spring, before the gjind attack com menced a supply of which w;is indis pensable. It was naturally Objected bv the a-amen that the men oiurht to cro. but ------ ; o ry Craig reasoned that the women irnxl'v s ent to the spring with their buckets, s nd rarel the men; that the one wonbl be regarded by the Indians as a proof that their ambuscade and plan of attack was not while the oilier would bring attack in open ground. The crisis was urgent, the peril great; hut the women speedily reached their conclusion. Thirty or forty women and girls went ; out through the western gate, each ; carrying her pail or backet and endeav i oriug by laughter or song to disguise : rtilf Pe t every heaving i bosom. Across the open place, and I past the side of the cane brake they I passed on to the bubbling spring .that burst out from the foot of the knoll j Their faces betrayed no fear, their ; manner showed no agitation, their walk j was not quickened, though they felt sure that the rifles of five hundred ! savages bore upon them, and that no I one would survive a signal of attack. 1 he buckets were dipped - ono after another in-the spnngHnil 1o.ded with ! i i ' the. precious burden the brave women returned toward the front. It was j not until the thick cairt was again assed, and the bushes and tall weeds eft behind, that their composure was disturbed. then safe trom the toma hawk and .the knife of the savages and well Sfithin the protecting range of the rifles of their husband -and fathers and hastened with trembling limbs to- i ward the open gate, spilling in their safe : ty part of the .treasure they had carried j so steadily through danger, and burst ing into tears of agitation and pride i gratitude. INot a gun was h red at I them, nor did an Indian move, though the little company passed within twenty yards of five hundred. Craig had exactly guessed his enemy's plan and forecast his action. It was the boldest of bold risks, but it was confi dentially proposed and perfectly car ried through. Men often wondered afterward what would have become of Craig had the Indians fired upon the women, or rushed out and captured them; but Craig's good-natured reply w;is that his good sense and the wom en's courage made the exploit a safe adventure. As the flight opened, the little gar rison of forty men held out stoutly against suh odds, two brave fellows. Bell antVI Tomlison, mounted their horses to carry the news to other sta tions and bring up help. The gate was suddenly swung open and they d;ished at the topmost speed into the e 't o.., t.-.i:.. i. 1 were through and bevond. and into the ei v i.iee ui uie iiiuiai: iauh.s, ami 1 cover of the waving corn that hid ! lnsule or outside of the walls, is pro them from the aid of their astonished vided Wlt three or more trained hounds, foe. Soon Todd and the men from sometimes bloodhounds, hut more or Lexington came hurrying up. and dinanly common aeer hounds, for they the news went on to Boone, and from ! ary hardier and stand the work for him to Trigg at Harrodsburg. and still further on to Logan. Never had there been such a general uprising. The word flew from settlement to settle- mpnt fn:if ovprv ficrlifiinr m;in Wiis needed. .The resixinse was instant and unanimous. The litttle garrison mean while was sorely pressed, but activity and courage availed them. The women moulded bullets and cut "patching" and care 1 for the wounded and dying as they fell. The very children caught the inspiration of their parents cour age, and ran from place to place with gourds full of water to extinguish the Barnes that the fire arrows lighted. An infant, destined to be the slayer of the renowed Teemnseh. and to become a Senator ajid Vice President of the republic, slept peacefully in the cradle in care of a little sifter, whose fidelity to that tender duty still left her tinio to carry ammunition to the men. It was indeed a gallant fight. The arrival of Boone and Todd caused Girty to-draw off his force and retr a toward- the Ohio; :ind then followed the pursuit that ended in the battle of the Blue Licks and the death of so many of Kentucky's best men. The pursuers felt sure of a victory over the repulsed Indians, and insisted upon a rapid march and a fight. The prudence of Boone and the cool judg ment of Todd were overborne by the rash and insubordinate courage of Mc gary, who rushed into the ford carry ing with him the excited and shouting j hunter-sofiliers.

The reason of it was given in simple words in after years: L'-He save! my soul, and I felt that I J must save his lif '." It was the last great Indian battle on Kentucky soil, Girty retired with numberless scalp3 to the Scioto towns, and for weeks there was savage revel and joy throughout the tribes.

Catching Convicts with Bloodhounds. A Huntsville (Texas) correspondent of the St. Louis G I oU-Democrat writes: Every gang of convicts in the State, which they are trained much better than the blooded stock. It is simply surprising to see how perfect these brutes are trained, and how well they understand their business. The hounds j of the Huntsville penitentiary are kept outside the prison wall 1 at what is known as the State farm. "And these are the brutes we read so much about?" I remarked tothesuper- "Yes, they are the famous blood hounds that is, as much bloodhounds as you will find in Texas. They are simply deer or fox hounds trained to hunt men." "Do you keep them shut up all the time?" "Yc3 we do that to make them fierce and to keep them away from the con victs. They would make it lively for the boys if they had their freedom." ''Is there much difficulty, in properly training bloodhounds?" - "We do not consider it difficult, but on the contrary. I believe the guards consider it sport. It will only require a few minutes to show you how it is done.'' A convict or a "trusty" was sent down through a large held, with in structions to climb the fence and make a detour through the timber of a couple of miles, coming out in just the opposite direction from whence he s i.- i. timing to the farm through a small stream, which he was compelled to wade. It required some tw ,. ji- i s 1 him to make the trip, and when he was seen to emerge from the timber on the other side, and it was certain he could get back in safety, the hounds were turned loose. They were shown the trail, and they started over the hV.ds, through marshes, over fence and" other obstructions with I . , n . . , 1 ,. the speed ot a deer. In tiie meantime the "trusty'1 had returned, and was di rected to climb a tree some 390 yards distant from where vye were standing. He did not require a second bidding, for the yelp of the hounds could already be heard in the distance. boon they appeared at the edge of the timber and sprang over the fence without stopping. . m ... n 1 he trail was not lost tor an instant. When the stream was reached they crossed it with a bound, and in a few moments more they were under the tree, yelping at the convict, who sat in its branches looking down at the brutes, and smiling at the fact that this was simply a training run and not a reality.

A traveller on horseback, who had been all day in the chilling rain, stopped late in the night at a siuhII stone house, situated on the top of a bleak knob.

"May I get off my horse and come 111 9" "Ef yer come iu I reckon yer'll have to git often yer horse.'1 ,. "Well, in case I come in, what must 1 do with my horse?" "Leave him outside, I reckon." "Haven't you got any shelter for vour stock?" " "No." "Doesn't the bad weather ncarlv kill them?" "No." 'How do you account for that?" "Ain't got no stock." "Haven t yon got as much as asmoke house to give shelter to my horse?" "Got no smoke house. All Ihe smoke we want we git in here." "Suppose 1 lead him through this gate and turn him loose in the lot?"' "All ritfht." Th3 traveller turned his horse loose and eutered the house. The host rak ed the chunks together, and soon a bright blaze sprang up in the great tire place. He did not stop at this at tempt to make his guest comfortable, but brought him a "hunk" of corn bread and the broiled foot of a hog. "I am deeply thankful to you." "Not et tail." "I suppose there is room in the lot for my horse to walk around and keep warm ?" "Oh yas." "I am gl id that I wasn't compelled to tie him, fearing that he mijjht break loose and go back, sixteen miles, to the place from which 1 started this morn ing. I have lost my road, but doubt less known well enough where he is. He is a valuable animal. So you say he's got plenty of room?" "Oh, yas." "How many acres are there in the lot?" -Don't know."'

Mr. Burdette insists that he over heard a woman lecturing as follows on ! board a tram: "Mow.l II tell you why J I wouldn't go into the restaurant and have a cup of coffee with you while we were waiting for the train. I didn't like the way you asked me. Keep quiet. I have the 'floor. Not half an hour before you said to Mr. Puffer: 'Come let's get a cigar,' and away you went, holding his arm and not giving him a chance to decline. When we met John 0' Howdy on our way to luncheon you said:"'Jnst in time John; come take lunch with us.' And then tonight, when we found the train an hour late, you looked at your watch, turned to me and said in questioning way: 'Would yon like a enp of coffee?' And I did want it; I was tired ;ind a Hltle hnugry. hut I would have fainted before I would accepted such an invi tation. And you went awa a I. tilt but vexed with me and had y ur coffee, bread and butter, by you olf am: didn't enjoy it much. In effect you said to me: 'If you want a cup of cof fee, if you really want it, I will buy it for you.' You are the best husband in the world, but you do as nearly all the best husbands do. Why do v u hn seem to dole things out to your wives when you fairly throw them'to the men you know. Why don't you invito me as heartily as you invite men? Whv didn't you say, -Come, let's get a little coffee and something,' and take me right along with you? You needn't say to a man, 'Would you like me to go and buy you a cigar?'" Then why do you always issue your little invitations to treats in that way to me? Indeed, indeed my dear husband, if men would only act toward their wives as heartily, cordially and frankly as they do toward the men whom they nicety they would find cheerier companions at home than they could at the club." Rejected Suitors. A woman never quite forgets the man who has once loved her. She may not have loved him; she mav. indeed, have given him the "no" instead of the "yes" he hoped for: but t he remembrance that he desired a "yes" always softens herjdustry, because it .'is never idle and never thoughts ot him, and should make him a friend forever. There may he girls who make a jest of discarded suitors; but they are geneially very young, and the wooing has been something that did not betoken much depth of tender ness. Then are mercenary offers, too. that only awaken scorn and hate in the woman wooed for money and not for herself; but really to have touched a man's heart n something not to be for gotten while she lives. Ahvava she retuembe s how his eyes looked .into hers; how. perhaps, he touched bet hand with his; offered her all he could, and how her heart ached when lie went away without that which she could not give him. Perhaps she loves someone else. Some other man is to have all the truth of her soul and al ways will have but she cannot for 'r,-r the one who turned from her ssnd went his way aim came no more. She is glad i when she hears of his succors. gnves when she knows that he has suuerea, ana some da- when she hears that he is married she who would never have married him ts she glad then ? 1 do not know. A woman's hea-tis a very strange thing. I do not believe she knows herself. Glad ? Ahf! but she can never forget. tJx ch uige.

Very .truly, CoUMlTTXroF A RE ANGEMBNTa. About a Mortgage. The editor of the Santa AmxaStand aref, having jnsfsncceeded in paying a mortgage on his ranch in Ornnge tlin.pe, rejoices in the full ownership of "(U acres of as fine land r.s California boasts." His experience with the "dead pledge" now yo happily past mores hun to wise reflections,; follows: "A mortgage is a queer institution, it makes a man rustle and keeps him poor. It is a strong incentive to ac tion, and a wholesome reminder of the Lfieting months and ve-.rs. It is fully ol'.cal in its me.inin.nr ns tb 11 , .. . e? ' as nour-iass anu scythe, that represent deatl v inorigage also represents in- rests. It is tike a bosom friend, because the greater the adversity the closer it sticks to a fellow. It ii like a brave sol dier it never hesitates 'at charges nor fears to close in on the enemv. It im like the sand-bag of thethug--silent in j application, hut-deadly in effect. It is . like the hand of prov idence it spreads I all over creation, and its influence ; is everywhere visible. It is like the grasp of a devil-fish- the longer it holds, the urenter if strength. It will exercise feeble energies and lend ac tivity to a sluggish brain, but no met I ier how hard the debtors work, the ' mortgage works harder still. A mort l gage is a o(i0.l thing to have in the family j;rovided always it is in some ' body else's family. It is like a boil j always a good thing on some other fel- low. It makes one sour, cross, un sociable and miserable, and rarely does him any j;ood. only to exercise him. : In that respect it is equal to Vigor of Lie. or the latest patent medicine. e ve nati our last one as rar as we know ourself. We would rather have the ague than have a mortgage. Adieu, old death pall, a fond udieu." M'-' I .... 1 " 1 i GjdI AU a? t5 tia Wickad. Young man, keep out of debt.
