Am laclMil thm ( re«k War.
A terrible bit of news was carried
from mouth to uiouth through the region
that IA LOW Alabama at the beginning
of September, 1813. The country wti
al that time in the midst of the aecond
war with Great Britain, and for a long
time the Rritish agents had been trying
to persusde tha Creeks—a powerful na
tion ot half-civilised but very war-like
Indiaus who litcd in Alabama—to join
in the wsr and destroy the white settle
ments ia the Southwest.
For tome time the Creeks hesitated,
and it was unoertain what they would
do. But during tha summer of 1813
they broke out in hostility, and on the
30th of Augutt their great leader,
eatherford, or tha lied Kagle, as they
called him, stormed Fort Mima, the
strongest fort in the Southwost. He
took the fort by turprise, with a thou
sand warriors behind lata, aud after five
honra of terriblo fighting destroyed it,
killing above five hundred man, women
and children.
This was the news that startled the
settlers in tho region where the Alaba
ma and l'ombigbee rivers come togeth
er. It was certain, after suoh a massa
cre is that, that the Indians meant to
destroy the settlements, aud kill all the
white people without mercy.
Iu order to protoct themselves and
their faalilita the aettlers built rude
forte by aetling timber* endwise in the
ground, and the people hurried to these
places for safety. Leaving their homes
to be burned, their crops to be destroy
ed, and their eattln to be killed or car
ried off by the Indiana, tho aettlera
hastily got together whatever food they
eould, and took their families into tho
nearest forts.
One of the amalleat of theae atoekade
forte was called Sinquefield. It atood
in what it now oalled Clarke county,
Ala., and, at that region waa very thin
ly eeilled, there were not enough mon
to make a atrong force for the defenae
of tha fort, liut the brave farmera and
buntert thought they could hold the
place, and so they took their familiea
there aa quickly at they could.
Two families, numbering aeventean
poraons, found it was not eaay to go to
the Sinqnefield on the 2d of September,
and ao, aa they were pretty aure that
thare were no Indians in their neigh
borhood, they made up their tuindt to
atay one more sight at a bouse a few
milea from the fort. That night they
were attacked, and all but five of them
were killed. Thoae who got away car
ried tha news of what had happened to
the fart, and a party waa tout out to
bring in the bodies.
The neit day all the people in Fort
Sinquefield wont out to bury their dead
friends in a valley at some little dis
tance from the fort, and, strange aa it
may seeui, they took no arms with them,
llelieving that there were no Indians
near the place, they left the gates of
the fortress open, and went out in a
body without their guns.
As a matter of fact there waa a large
body of Indians not only near them,
but Actually looking at them all the
titaa. The celebrated Prophet Francis
was in command, and in bia sly way he
kapt aa near the fort as possible to look
for a good chance to attack it. Making
bia men lie down aad erawl like snakes,
he had reached a point only a few hun
dred yards from the atookade without
alarming tha people; and now while
they stood around the gravea of their
friends without arms to defend them
selves, a boat of their aavage enemies
lay looking at them from the grass and
bushes on the hill.
Aa soon aa he HW the right moment
bad come, Franeia sprang up with a
Mvage war-cry, and at tho head of hia
warriors made a dash at the gat«a. Ha
bad teen that the men outside were
unaimed, and hie plan waa to ge*. to the
gttea before they could reaeb them, and
thua get all the people of the place at
hi* merey in an opea field without arms
to fight with.
DANBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1883.
Tb« fort people were quick to tee
what hit pnrpoaa ni, and the men hur
ried forward with all their might, hop
ta« to reach the fort before the savages
cjuld get there. By runmug at the
top of their speed they did this, and
cloaed the gate in time to keep the In
dian* out. liut to their horror thrfy
then saw that their wives and children
were shut out too. Unable to rua so
fast as the men had done, the women
and children had fallon behind, aud
now the Indiana were between them and
the gates !
Seeing that he bad misled his chance
of getting possession of the fort, Fran
cis turned upon the women and children
with savage delight in tha thought of
butchering thc.se helpless creatures in
sight of their husbauds, fathers, and
brothors.
It was a moment of terror. There
were not half euuugh of whito tnen in
the fort to master HO large a force of
Indiana, and if there had been it was
easj to see that by the time they could
get their riflet and go to the rescue it
would be tuo late.
At that moment the hero of this
| bit of hisiory came upon the scene.—
i This was a young uian named lsaao 11 a
-1 den. He was a notable huntsman, who
kept a famous pact of hounds—brutes,
| thoroughly trained to run dowu and
I seii# any living thing that thoir master
; chose to chaso. The young man had
been out in search of atray cattle, and
just at the moment when matters were
at their wortt, ha rode up to the fort,
followed by hit sixty hounds.
Isaac lladeu had a cool head and' a
very daring spirit. He was in the habit
of taking in a situation at a glance, de
ciding quickly what was to be done,
and then doing it at any risk that might
ba necessary. Aa soon as hn saw how
the womon and children were placed,
,he cried out to his dogs, and at the
head of the bellowing pack, charged
upon the flank of the Indians. The
dogs did their work with a spirit equal
to their mauler's. for each to seize a
rod warrior and drag liiin to the earth
was the work of a moment, and the
whole body of savages was soon in con
fusion. For a time they bad all thoy
could do to defend themselves against
the ualooked-for aasault of the fiSrco
animals, and before they eould beat off
the doga the min of tho fort camo out
and joined in the attack, so that the
women and children bad time to tsako
their way inside the gates, ouly one of
them, a Mrs. l'hillips, having been
killed.
The men, of course, had to follow
the women clotely, as thoy were too
weak in numbers to riak a battle out
side. If they had done so, the Indians
would have overcome them quickly, and
then the fort and everybody in it would
bavo been at their meroy, so they hur
ried into the fort aa soon as the women
were aafe.
llat the hero who had saved the peo
ple by his quiokness and courage was
left outside, and not only ao, but the
tavagea were between him and the fort.
He bad eharged entirely through the
war party, and was now beyond their
line, alone, and with no chance of help
fretn any quarter.
Hit hope of saving himaelf was vory
small, indoed ; but he had savad al'
those helpless women and children, and
ht was a brave eDougb fellow to dio
willingly for such a purposo aa that if
ba must. But brave man do not givo
up easily, and young Uaden did not
mean to die without a last effort to lave
himself.
Blowing a loud blast upon his liunt-
I horn to call bis remaining dogs around
| him, ho drew bis pistols—ono is each
j hand—aud plunged spurs into bis his
horse's flanks. la spite of the nuiu-
I bars against him, he broke through the
mass of savages, but the gallant horse
that bore him fell dead as he cleared
the Indian ranks. Iladen had fired
both his pistols, and had no time to
load them again. lie was practically
unarmed now, and the distanoe he sti 11
bad to go before reaching the fates was
considerable. Ilia chance of escape
seemed smaller than ever, but be quick
ly sprang from tbe saddle, and ran with
all his might, hotly pursued, and under
a terrific fire from the rifles of tho sav
ages. The gate was held a little way
open for him to pass, and when he en
tered the fort hia nearest pursuers were
so close at bu heals that thore was bare
ly time for tb* men to shut tho gate in
tbeii (aees.

fellow wu Dot hurl in any way. FIT*

A Ventriloquist'* Trick*
[Omaha Ueo.)
For some time past there have been
strange doings at the jid| which have
given the impression tlnTfie place must
be Imuatcd. Every (ML nights some
prisoner would hear bis okie called by
some one outside of the jail, aud, going
to the nearest window, would in the
darkness carry on a convocation with
some friend or relative, who failed to
materialize, however. A short time ago
a man was put in jail for assaulting bis
hrotLsr-iu-law wit' r «cd cutting
hit throat badly, IK . «cane one calling
him at the window. He got out of his
bunk, and, fooling his way to the win
dow, asked the name of tho visitor.—
Tho name was given, and proved to be
that of au Irish friend who had taken
this way to hold a littlo chat with him.
The voice could not be mistakeu, aud
tho prisoner hid no suspiciou of there
being anything mysterious about the
matter or anything wrong. The visitor
in bidding biin good-bye told biui that
he had left some tobacco for hiui with
tue jailor. In the mean time Jailer
Schotz, hearing tbo voices, staid outside
to see who was there, and, though ho
could hear the talk, could discover no
one. The next day tho prisoner insist
ed on tho jailer giving him the tobacco
which his friend had left for him, aud
was quite iudiguaut when told that his
friend had left none. The same sort of
an occurrence was repeated with other
prisoners. The colored boy who was
lately imprisoned tor stealing a watch
was called for tbe other night by soino
one outside, and on going to the wiudow
held quite a conversation with a colored
friend of his, in which he talked over
his case quite freely, but Jailer Schotz
could not discover any one. The color
ed boy next day was equally earnest in
demanding the package of suioking
tobaoco bis friend had loft with the jail
er, but of course :hc jailer had no such
par kago. In nono of these cases could
Jailer Schotz discover that ftp one hail
been around tho outside of the jail.
The puzzling matter his now bocn
straightened out and ita mystery solved.
Tho young man, Fred Hill, confined in
jail on charge of being a confidence
man, seems to be at tho bottom of tho
whale affair and the cause of the mani
festations. He is a remarkable mimic,
and only needs to hear a man's voice
once to be able to duplicate it. He is
also a good deal of a ventriloquist, and
these two features of hit own vocal abil
ity, aided by the peculiar construction
of tho jail, and the looation of his cell,
have enabled him at night to throw hit
voice outside, so that :t appears to pris
oners on the south tide of the jail as if
thero were some one at tho window call
ing them. Ho had used his ventrilo
quism for much amusement, aud, by
learning tho prisonor'i name and tome
thing of hia history by tho prisoners
mingling in the day tim*,hat been inform
ed for a midnight chat with them, im
personating some friend or relative.—
To add to hit enjoyment he has invari
ably added the "tobacoo" postscript at
the tlose of the conversation, thus cau
sing the prisoners to bother Jailer
Schotz by insisting on having what their
friends had left for them.
A Curious Calculation.
Did you ever think, asked a Paris
paper, how many male and female an
cestors were required into
tho world ? first, it was necessary that
yon should have a father and mother—
that makes two human beings. Each
of these must have father and mother—
that makes six humau beings. And to
wo lrust go back for forty generations,
which brings us only to the time of Je
sus Christ. The calculation thus re
sulting shows tffat 13!),*245,017,498,-
-444,970 births must have taken place
in order to bring you into the world—
you who read these liucs. But reineiu
bor we are only taking tho case of your
self—one human being—and there are
billioua of human beings in the world
with the same history, and we have ouly
carried back the calculation to the time
of Christ. How monstrous the calcu
lation becomes if wo carry it back six
thousand years ! Ilow ghastly it be
comes if we push it back two hundred
and fifty thousand years, which l)e-
Mortillet aud others give as the age of
the human raoe ! Just count genera
tions to a century, or thirty to every
thousand yean, and reckon up the his
tory of one individual. Imagine the
number of births necessary to bring in
to existence one member of the sevon
thousand, five hundredth generation '

In those Cood Old Days.
After the late civil war had been go
ing on for six or eight months and ev
erybody was going for a Government
contract and riches, President Lincoln
was one day approached by a little old
man, who introduced himself as the pro
prietor of a second band clothing store
juat star tod in Washington.
"Well, do you want a colonel's com
mission!" asked old Abo.
"Not abust now. I pelievo I like a
Government coutraek."
"Oats or hay!"
"Oh, no! I keepa some second-hand
clothing."
"And what sort of a contract can you
take!"
"Vhcll, I doan' exactly make dot out i
myself, but 1 sells members of Congress
sheapcr goats und wests und bauts dan
any odder dealer in der peesncss. I like
you to pass toiue law to make 'em puv

HEART-KENPIMI. —The Fayetteville
Observer says that a Mr. Knight, of
Chatham county, has beeu recently
bereft of his whole family of six chil
dren by such a strango und fearful trag
edy, or rather by a succession of trage- !
dies, as makes "truth stranger than ,
fiction." Three of tbo children wore
taken with dipbtboria, and diod shortly i
after iu quick succession Just after
their death two of the remaining three
children "were playing in the yard, the
mother beiug inside tho liouso with the
youngest. A scream outsido caused
her to rush forth, to find that a rattle
snake had bitten both the children, who
wcro even thou in the agonioa of death—
and the crowning horror came upou the
diltractod mother when she discovered
that a large pot of boiling soap bad

A Mounter Spider.
Mr. K. D. Todd, private watchman
' at[tho corner of Mother and Calhuun
streets, caught Monday night in that lo
| cality a monitor spider, with a diameter
when spread over four inches. He
1 brought it yesterday iu tbc Sun office.
Prof. Otto Luggcn says it is tbe "My.
goto Ilentiu," an Aoierioan species of
the gigantic bird-spider, and is suppos
ed to bare been brought to Baltimore
in a shipment of bananas from Florida.
As tbc animal is nocturnal in iti habits,
it may be in a locality or wander about
for totuo time without being discovered.
This spider in erroneously called tar
rautnla. It is found throughout all
| the drier portions of tbc Westers or
| South-western States, extending into
1 Mexico, where it is replaced by still lar
ger species. It is considered a very
poisonous animal, though whether truly
so or uot is a poiut still to be demon
strated. Like all spiders, its fang-like
mandibles arc perforated, and a canal
communicates with a bag of poison lo
oated in its base. When they bito the
poison is injected into the wound. From
the tact that its mandibles can not be
separated to any gieat extent, it is ques
tionable whether it even could iuflict a
bite on a human finger. Tbe habit of
this spider is to bide during tbo day in
a closcly-wovcn tube of silk, which is
either suspended between foliage or be
tween stoues on tbc ground.
In the tropical parts of koutb Ameri
ca theso spiders are very abundant in
' houses, where they feed upon various
kinds of domestic insect pests and are
I not dreaded at all. Large aud formi
dable as it appoars, it has a deadly one
| my in a large species of "digger-wasp,"
j wbieb stings aud paralyzes it. The
! "digger-wasp," is tbe so-called "taran
tula-killer." 1 bis wasp, though living
l itself upon nothing but honey, (till needs
animal food for its young. Tbe motber
wasp, after having dug a bole in some
hard aud dry soil to tbe depth of seven
inches, flies about in search of one of
these large spiders. When found it
darts like lightning upon tho spider and
stiugs it. The poison injected into the
spider has the peculiar property of par
alyzing without killing. Tbe helpless
spider is dragged to the prepared nest
and a liquid egg deposited on its soft
parts and the hole closed. Tbc larva:
hatched from the egg feeds upon tbe
still living but defenseless spider until
full grown. If such an egg should not
batch the spider will remain in this bole
for an indefiuito period without dying or
decaying.
Efforts have been made for a long
time by scientists to imitate artificially
a fluid of this peculiar character, with a
view of treatiug Texas cattle as wasps
treat spiders, for transport to Europe.
While in tho paralyzed state and not
needing any food or water, they conld be
placed on ships like sardines, and kill
ed as wanted after their arrival in Eu
rope. It has been shown that such
poison taken internally is perfectly harm
less to the consumers of the meat. The
system of the mediciue kuown as Baum
scheidtisin had its origin in consequence
of Haumschoidt beiug cured of rheuma
tism and paralysis by the sting of a com
mon "digger-wasp."— Baltimore Sun.

Marrjla( • »wl Wire's Staler
The English HOUM of Lord* has agaio
rejected the bill legalising the marriage
of a man to bin dead wife's slater. The
vote was 14U to 145. We hope the day
is not far distant when the old-layfT
concern of "House of Lords" will he
squelched and abolished by the English
peoph. Civilisation and hunaaity teach
es and proves that, where passible and
agreeable, a man shows good sense and
proper regard for his wile's ohildvan by
marrying his deceased wife's sister.
The bitter quarrel wMch occurred la
Fsyettoville Presbytery, tnisState about
iJ6years ago, in regaid to a R«tr. Mr.
McQueen marrying his wife's tutor, will
be remembered by many of our citiseus.
A good, but eccentric, old divine, Her.
Colin Melver of Fayetteville, led the
opposition to sucb marriages, and mueh
bad feeling and bard words occurred,
but we tbiuk Mr. McQueen was dually
justified in marrying his dead wife's sis
ter, though tlie Presbyterians have al
way refused to change their church edicts
against such marriages, but acquiesce
when they occur.
The quarrel between the MeQueen
and anti-McQaeon party was very bit
ter according to our recollection.
It seems to us that if there is any
thing reasonable in this world, it is that
men should ba permitted to marry their
dead wife's sister, where the parties aro
willing to do so and the proper affeotion
prevails. Poor orphan children are of
