The old, old story, Billy,
Of pleasures that end in tears—
The froth that foams for an hour,
The drugs that are tasted for years.
Last night, as I sat here and pondered
On the end of my evil ways,
There arose like a phantom before me
The vision of my boyhood days.
I thought of my old "home, BUiy.
Ot the school house that stood on the hill,
Of the brook that flowed through the
meadow,
I can e’en hear its music still.
Again I thought of my mother.
Of the mother who taught me to pray,
Whose love was a precious treasure,
That I heedlessly cast away.
I saw again in my visions
The fresh lipped, careless boy
To whom the future was boundless,
And the past but a mighty toy.
I thought of all this as I sat here—
Of my ruined and wasted life—
And the pangs ot remorse were bitter—
They pierced my heart like a knife. •
It takes some courage, Billy,
To laugh in the face of fate,
When the yearning ambitions af manhood
Are blasted at twenty-eight.

PERVERSION OF THE 8G&1FTUHEB.
BY JOHN F.-SAHUR.
NO. 3.
Daniel, a man greatly beloved,
who purposed in hi* heart not to de-
file himself by partaking ol the por-
tion of the king’s meat, spake to
Melzer, the prince who had charge
of the men who were to study and
thus gain knowledge in all the
sciences of the Chaldeans, in refer-
ence to giving them pulse—a vege-
king’s dainties. And at the end of
the three years set apart for their
course of study, when they stood be-
fore King Nebuchadnezzar, there
was upu^ found so wise as Daniel
and his three companions; they were
pronounced ten times wiser than all
the magicians and astrologers of his
realm.
Daniel was carried into captivity
in the first year of Nebuchadnezzar.

The farmers of Grayson county

The Galveston Record says that
Johnson Caughey suicided at Corsi-

‘Fowler's Solution of Arnica.”
That’s a new solution—one we nev-
er, heard of. We suppose the Record
meant “Fowler’s Solution of Ar-
senic.”
Last week at a party in Cooke
county, a young man named Gaines
was killed by the accidental dis-
charge of a six-shooter in the hands
of a young man named Woods.
Woods should be sent tb the peni-
tentiary for negligent homicide. It
was a violation of law to have in his
possession the pistol.

An exchange says, Thomas Scott
narrowly escaped being killed in
Midland, O., a tew days since by
Mr. Pierson's black stallion, known
as the “man-eater.” The horse
threw Scott down and was gnawing
him when Charles Oscar’s bulldog
Syke came to the rescue, and getting
hold of the horses’* nostrils, com-
pelled him to release his hold. The
dog saved the man life, and a hand-
some collar is to be purchased by
several persons for the dog.
A mad cow ran through the
streets at Waco the other day and
besides scaring the people into
hysterics caught an old farmer on
her horns and threw him across the
street. It was said to be one of
the most frightful cow-astrophes ever
witnessed in a city. The cow was
kmed by the police. Guess she was
mad because the people set down on
free-grass.
The other g ening a fellow went
into the drug store of Nagle & Wal-
lace. He was full to overflowing,
and could scarcely stand erect. He
said : “Gentlemen—hie—can’t you
give a—a—poor man ten or five
cents to buy a supper with ?” No
one responded. He staggered
around and then asked: “Then
would you be kind enough to give a
poor man a dose of strychnia to ease
him and quiet his troubles?” Dr.
Wallace fixed him up a dose of
“bogus pizen” and he went away-
don’t know whether he is dead or
not.
structors, yet in the second year of
Nebuchadnezzar the things we are
about to consider took place. How,
then, can we reconcile his being
called upon to take part in public
work, in the second year, when for
three years he waa under instructors ?
In this mannei:, for two years Ne-
buchadnezzar reigned conjointly
with his father, Nabopollassar. From
this point the Jews reckoned, while
the Chaldeans reckoned from the
time he commenced to reign alone
on the deajh of his father; hence,
the events we are to consider took
place in the fourth year of his reign
according to Jewish reckoning,
which would be the year following
that which completed Daniel’s
studies.
Darnel was able to dissolve doubts
and dreams, and make known to the
king visions aud the interpretation
thereof, and as the king dreamed
dreams, he called in the wise men
to show the king’s matter. The
Chaldeans answered before the king
and said, tell us the dream and we
will make known the interpretation;
but as the thing had gone from the
king, he desired that they should
show both the dream and the inter-
pretation thereof; if not they should
be cut in pieces. And when the de-
cree went forth to slay the wise men
of Babylon, Daniel said to the cap
tain of the king's guard, “why is the
decree so hasty from the king?” and
he went in to see the king, and de-
sired that he would give him time
and he would shew the king the
dream, and with it the interpreta-
tion. And, when he and his com-
panions called upon Gpd, the thing
was revealed to'Daniel in a night
vision. Then Arioch brought in
Daniel before the king, and Daniel
answered before the king and said:
. . . “Thou, O King, sawest and be-
hold a great image.This great image,
whose brightness was excellent stood
before thee, the form thereof was
terrible. This image’s head was of
fine gold, his breast and his arms of
srlver, his belly and his thighs of
brass, his legs of iron, and his feet
part of iron and part of clay.”
Here we have a representation of
the four great universal kingdoms of
the world, their rise and fall. This
head of gold is a symbol of the
kingdom of Babylon, which was
founded by Belesis. B. C. ^47- This
ruler is called in secular history, Na-
bonassar, and in the Scriptures, Ba-
ladan. This head of gold, or Ba-
bylon, became a subject of prophecy,
B. C. 677, when, by the capture of
Mannasseh, King of Judah, it be-
came connected with the people of
God. It was superseded by Media
and Persia, symbolized by the breast
and arms of silver, B. C. 538 One
arm representing Media, the other
Persia, both the Medies and Per-
sians. At the taking of Babylon,
B. C. 538, Cyrus, from courtesy to
his uncle Darias, assigned to him the
first place in the kingdom. But two
years afterward, B. C. 536, his un-
cle died, and in the same year his
father, Cambyses, king of Persia,
died, and by these events Cyrus was
left sole monarch of the empire.
He was followed by ten other
rulers, whose reigns varied from
seven months to thirty-six years each.
The last of these, Darias Codom-
annus, was displaced by Alexander
on the field of Arbela, B. C. 33**
Thus, the third kingdom, Grecia,
symbolized *by the sides of brass,
superseded Media and Persia. The
fourth kingdom, Rome, represented
by the legs of iron and the feet and
toes part of iron and part of potter’/
clay, conquered Grecia, B. C. 161.
Next is brought to view the greatest,
the everlasting kingdom, represented
by the stone cut out of the moun-
tain without hands, which smote the
image upon its feet; then was the
iron, the brass, the silver, and the
gold broken to pieces together and
became like the chaff of the sum-
mer threshing floors, and the wind
carried them away; and the stone,
which smote the image, became a
great mountain and filled the whole
earth. We are told by the ministers
of the age that this stone, which be-
came a great mountain, arid filled
the whole earth, is religion. I fail
to see any such idea, but it certainly
has reference to the kingdom of God
being set up on this earth. Next,
we will consider the interpretation
of the dream.

me, and the laws I explained to
them, than any “faith** they had
ever exercised in Christianity!* At
that time no one had heard of the
terms for winch I found a use, as I
proceeded with my investigations.
And, hence, when I commenced my
scientific lectures I was often remind
ed how difficult it was to enable my
audiences to understand the terms of
lf-hood, self-growth, self healing,
volution and evolution! Arid,
when they saw surgical operations
performed, on my public platform,
without any consciousness of pain,
they often attributed what they saw
to some outside “will,” as in “re-
vivals,” and the Christian ideas of
the “holy ghost.” And has not
humanity itself been |fow ist learn
ing that it is, in fact, controlled by
its own ideas ; true or false, as they
may have been ?
And thus it was, as I have said,
while 1 was yet a Methodist revival
minister, that I made this discovery
of this inherent law of self-induc-
tion, that reigns supreme in every
human mind; and of which my
readers shall have a true account, if
my life be continued long enough to
finish what I have begun. And
what I discovered any theologian
might discover if he had the brains
for it, and the ample opportunities
for it, that I had. And let the cler-
gymen, that disputes what I have
here stated, prove to me that, when
upon his knees to what his prayers
are made, outside of his own brains
and his own ideas. Manifestly,
were mental science clearly under-
stood, we could not be so often de-
ceived, by our own mental processes.
And yet, what investigation can be
so important as that which brings to
us a knowledge of our own mental
constitutions, and the vital forces, by
which we are governed ? Whereas,
in youth, our minds are too often
drilled with ideas of things, that the
mind has no capacity for knowing.
And the few thoughts that I shall
give you, are the result of my own
investigations, continued, now for
more than half a century; and in a
field where few have, as yet, labor-
ed. And it is a noteworthy fact,
that the theologians, as a class, are
fearfully ignorant of ohsychology,
upon which all their success depends.
Ideas, true or false, govern the whole
world of thi.iking minds. And they
are so ignorant of this supreme fact;
in humanity, that they do not per-
ceive that they preach their own
ideas, and to their own ideas pray
and sing their psalms of joy. The
human mind is not measured and
weighed as we measure and weigh
the human body, from which the
mind is evolved. The yardstick,
the carpenter’s rule, the scales of the
chemist are not for ideas, nor human
character. Nor is the disposition,
altered by “faith” in unlmdwn
factors. Nor has the Christian
“faith” any power outside of the
mind, exercising it, any more than
love, hope, or joy has.
And to show you what ample op-
portunities I had for investigation,
you must bear in mind that when I
made this discovery my “converts,”
who were to become the “stars in
crown of rejoicing,” were in all the
cities where I afterward gave my
scientific lectures. And it was these
and other Christians upon whom my
first psychological tests were made.
They had faith and confidence
enough in me, by which they invest-
ed me with power, to render them
insensible to pain, while surgical
operations were performed upon
them, when tumors were removed,
molars drawn, and the thigh ampu-
tated. And by these experiments,
performed in public, and witnessed
by uncounted thousands all over
these United States, I proved, un-
mistakably, that faith is a power only
in the organism by which it is exer-
cised ; and exciting this law of self-
hood and self-induction, it induces
the same results, irrespective of
“God” ora myth! And I could
give the names ot popish and prot-
estant Christians, including clergy-
men and dignitaries of the church,
to whom in my public lectures on
this subject, I have rendered, as they
themselves have declared, more as-
sistance than they ever obtained by
earnest “petitions” to the holy
ghost.
Nay, more. I prove the truthful-
ness of the foregoing statements by
the Bihle account of what Jesus,
himself, (unwittingly) said. I say
unwittingly, because, if he did say,
aa in Math. 6:28: “According to
your faith, be It unto you,” he cer-
tainly contradicted his own claims,
And you extend your knowledge to
the cure of a thieving disposition,
find the removal of “the «i«thtf H#if
minks'* on children when bom. I regular amt
never meddled with any one’s Chris-
tian ideas, Roman or Protestant.
And all these marvelous things, have
I done for a few, and we are told
that it is only the “few that are
saved.”
And while I think and speak of
Christians as good people,they man-
ifest no charity for me. And their
feelings are hurt, when I show them
that Christianity * heals no wounds
that itself had not previously made!
The first idea I ever had that I was
an “enemy to God,” I was told so by
a Methodist minister.. And no
Methodist of the present day will
undertake to tel! me, when and
where Jesus ever rendered a sailor,
forty years of age, wholly uncon-
scious of pain while his thigh was
amputated! Nor will any Chris-
tian, popish or protestant, undertake
to show me how we are to escape
the evils that we do not outgrow ?
Nor, that we do not grow from
within:
1
Our own, Humanity, grows from within!
And when, to manhood, thus matured,
It outgrows all its sufferings and sin,
And its future good is secured I

SKETCHES BY THE WAY.
BY HRS. M. J, BAHLER.
NO. 6.
At half past four the fourth morn-
ing of our trip—by Denison tim»—
twenty minutes past one Arizona
time, we reach Yuma on the famed
Colorado river where we stop thir-
ty minutes. Here is located the
State Penitentiary. The great
stone building, looking somber and
lonely, seems much in keeping With
the great banks of reddish looking
clay on every side. It is so -cold
that with winter cloaks we can hard-
ly keep warm, and when our new
brakeman takes a peep into the
stove as though meditating starting
a fire we inwardly hope he will
carry out the design he seems ma-
turing. And now we have crossed
Colorado and seen its turbid waters
and the great irregular clay bluffs
which form its hanks, we go to our
rest to awaken at half past five, and
find we are epeeding away across a
desert of white sand, which literally
lies in little wavelets just like those
you see on a quiet lake. The
mountain ranges still bound our
path on either side, but oh, so bar-
ren, they look like frozen sand, and
probably no human foot has ever
mounted their smooth, slippery sides.
The sand beneath the ties fairly
jumps and dances as our train ,flies
over the ground, and it is so pure
that it glistens in the sunlight as
though diamonds of minatqre she
were strewn around. The car plat-
forms are loaded with sand, the
window sills are covered with it,
and surely we have reason to be
thankful there is no wind blowing
to hurl it into our eyes. This is the
Colorado, or Yuma, desert- After
a ride of two hours the scene chan-
ges somewhat; the sand is full of
boulders, from the size of a?hen’ s egg
to that of a bushel basket. Imagine
the picture please, the narrow val-
ley bordered by continuous chains
of mountains of sand, the ground
of pure white sand, strewed thickly,
so thickly that you could hardly
walk among them, with these smooth
round, or oblong stones and boul-
ders, and here and there glimpses
of pure silvery little stream
of water winding about, and mur-
muring softly to the pretty stones
which lie shining in its bed. Then
comes another change, the fine
white sand is gone, and a coarse
sand in its place. And this is filled
with pebbles and boulders, and here
even the mountains themselves
seem as th^igh nothing but great
heaps ot the smooth stones and
boulders I have mentioned, all hav-
ing the appearance of having been
washed by the rolling waters of the
ocean for years. At “Seven Palms”
we see some pretty palm trees, and
the largest cactus we have yet seen.
It is of immense diameter, if I may
be permitted to apply such a word
to a cactus.
Half past eight, Banning. Here
we saw snow on the mountains,
and are told there is snow lying
among these peaks die year round.
Two or three gentlemen come on
hoard here, our first way passengers
for a long time; they tell us that
eighteen days ago there was snow
to a depth of several feet on the
lower ranges. Near here, for the
first time for three days, we see a
real farm, cultivated, and looking
home like with comfortable build-
‘ings, pretty trees and gardens, and
great straw stacks indicating an
abundant harvest garnered.
Here the mountains are covered
with a pretty growth of green moss
for several miles, At Eleaso we

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Thirty-six Days in Session and 151 In
diotmanta Pwantad.
All the Officers of the County Found
Competent and Faithfully Dis-
charging their Duties.
The Finanoo* of the Ooonty Found to be
in a Favorable Condition.
To the Hoh. Richard JfaltSie,
Judge of the Fifthtecnth Judi-
cial District, Grayson County,
Texas.
The grand jury has been in session
thirty-six days, and have found 151
true bills. There has been an unu-
sual amount of business before the
grand jury this session and we have
been compelled to summond a large
number of witnesses.
We have examined the county jail
and find it well kept in every re-
spect The prisoners are well fed
and express themselves satisfied with
their treatment. Mr. Callahan, the
jailer, deserves eredit for the care
and management of the jail and pris-
oners.
We have examined the different
offices and found them in good or-
der and the incumbents well qualifi-
ed for the places they fill.
We find on Nov. ist, 1884, there
was cash balance in the Treasury
the sum of $21,634.27 exclusive of
school fund, and on Nov. ist, 1SS1,
there was a cash balance on hand of
the same fund, $6,367.62 and that
the collections from all sources will
be $5,800, about $t ,300of which will
be road and bridge fund, which we
believe should not be diverted from
that purpose.
There are outstanding against the
county debts to the amount of about
$8,000, and a bond of $10,000. The
first item must be paid at once, but
the bond runs until next August. If
the bond is paid during the year, the
county we believe will not have a
sufficient amount to run till the next
collection of taxes. We make these
statements with no intention to re-
flect on any one, but that the people
of the county may have some idea
as to the ability of the Commission-
er’s court to make further improve-
ments. We believe if the $13,000 of
road tax is used in a proper manner,
much improvement in our roads may
be made.
From a careful examination of the
county jail we believe it is not suffi-
cient for the number of prisoners.
We cannot see how the cells can be
warmed, and yet it is cruel to keep
human beings there suffering from
cold. We also believe the county
should furnish the jailer with arms
sufficient to defend themselves in
case of an attempt to rescue or take
prisoners from jail. We therefore
recommend that the county commis-
sioners furnish for the jail 12 Win-
chester rifles to be used by the guards
if necessary.
From the exposed and unsafe con-
dition of the court house, and the
records, the loss of which would be
irreparable, we believe something
should be done for the protection of
the records and papers, either by a
vault or safes for the different offices,
but in any event something should
be done for the safety of the re-
cords.
We wish to express our thanks
for courtesies extended us by the
honorable court, and to commend
the sheriff and his deputies for their
promptness in executing process is-
sued by us. We have been greatly
aided by county attorney Randell in
our labor, and we wish to bear tes-
timony to his efficiency as a prosecu-
tor. We cannot leave out our' bail-
iff R. P. Hopson, who has been all
we could ask.
J. B. Bemusdaffer,
Zac Farmer, Foreman.
District Clerk.
Filed November 29th, 1884.
Last week a citizen of this city
who had lived here five years, de-
serted his wife and children and
went to parts unknown. The Even-
ing Journal says his wife takes her
desertion much to heart but that she
should “consider it a God-send to
get rid of such a miscreant.” It is
easy enough to write such advice,
but a deserted wife can never put it
in practice. The faithful wife can
never give up the father of her chil-
dren without an aching of the heart.
Such would be diametrically oppo-
site to her feminine nature—that
clinging, trusting confidence that
makes women so sacred to the esti-
mation of all true men. The de-
serted wife cannot hush up her grief
by the reflection that her husband
has been untrue. She will see in
her neglected children the image of
their cruel father and her heart will
bleed afresh. Still, we cinnot im-
agine a baser heart than the. one
which closes out the affection of a
wife and children.
It was In the tall ol ’7S that the writer
visited the Indian country in the role of a
sportsman. Never shall we forget the Im-
pressions of that trip. We were passing
through the country of the Chickasaws
and Choctaws. It was a beautiful alter-
nation of fertile prairies and groves just
the hues of autumn, while
hfjstajh them nestled the log house
of the Indian farmer. The fields bespoke
^ the exuberant fertility of the soil. The
gr MIllEijr., rrialac stood rustling In the wind, ripe and
dry; it* shining yellow ears thrust out be-
the gaping hnsfcs. Rabins and
lekbM. How about the tences, and now
and then we heard the plaintive notes of
the quail. The woods that border the
Bayou soon rose before us, and we enters
ed the tract* of bushes which form their
outskifts- We had passed the same road
osefc <jfetore, the spring previous, but its
aspects were now totally changed. Tall
grass grow by the roadside in place O#
tenHer shoots, just peeping front the warm
and oozy soil. The viq^s were laden with
purple wild.grapes, and the slender twigs
of the swamp maple, t.tsseflcd with their
clusters of small red dow ers, stow hung
out a gorgeous display of leaves stained
by the frost with burning crimson. On
every side we saw tokens ot maturity and
decay, where all before had been fresh
with opening life.
The most delightful of the seasons in
this latitude is the last of fall, and the be-
ginning-of the winter months. Our party
has been in camp nearly a fortnight and
the weather has been a succession of
pleasant days, warm, tranquil and bright,
and the most glorious and starry nights
that ever looked down from above. Our
party consists of four persons, Mr. Sum-
mers, who came here from Philadelphia,
Mr. Fisher of Denison, the writer, and an
excellent camp cook, Alf Statuin. We
left Denison at the height of the presi-
dential election; then the skies looked
bright for Blaine, but Joe Laurence, who
came into camp yesterday, from Caddo,
states that Cleveland has carried New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, which virtually settles the question.
It is hardly admissnble for a Republican to
discuss politic^ in a Democratic paper, so
we will proceed with our narrative of
camp life.
Our hunt came near terminating at
Red River. Owing to the shallow water
the ferry boat was unable to approach so
as to make a dry landing. Our wagon
was heavily-loaded. While leaving the
boat, the horses plunged into the water,
breaking the double-trees and throwing
the driver several feet into the ai,r, giving
him a plunge bath. In a moment the
wagon sunk to the hubs in the treacherous
quick sand, and the water poured into the
wagon bed, wetting our provisions. Sum-
mers put his hands in his pockets and
whistled, Fisher looked gloomy, while
your correspondent did the swearing for
the whole outfit. We were detained at the
river for nearly two hours, and were
obliged’ to unload the wagon in water
knee deep. One of the ferrymen bor-
rowed a pair of double-trees, and after
some of the hardest work ever performed,
the wagon was dragged from the quick-
sand to dry land—and then we all took a
drjnk (excepting Summers, who is a mem-
bifr of the Baptist church) . Emerging
frbm the quick sand and mud-holes, we
pursued our way in the checkered sun-
shine and shadow of the woods, until we
reached the prairies. The fire had lately
swept over them, and the green grass in
many places was sprouting from the soil;
cattle were feeding. Pausing on a high
point of the prairie, I called the attention
of my companions to the beauty of the
surrounding country. But the scenery
needed no foreign aid. Nature had done
enough for it; arid the alternation of
rich green prairie and groves, that stood
in clusters, or lined the banks ot the n
rnerous little streams, had all the soft and
polished beauty that had been for cen-
turies under the hand of man.
Leaving the prairie we descended to the
long stretch of woods1 that skirt the slug-
gish stream known as the Allen Bayou.
The Bayou is the ^dividing line between
the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations. It
is about twenty-five tniles in length, the
head waters are near the railroad and
flows into Red River. At the time of
writing, it is nearly dry, with only here
and thyre a pool which supply men and
cattle with water. -: Crossing the Bayou
we travel through the timber until the
Sassafras is reached, a stream similar in
character to the Bayriu. The accident at
Red River had detained the party so long
that the objective point of the day’s
journey was the log cabin of Joseph
Bozarth, a veteran backwoodsman, who
has killed more deer, wild turkey and
varmints than any man in this section of
country. Almost in sight of Bazarth's
cabin, the wagon stuck in a mud hole,
and.we were compelled a second time to
unload. It was quite dark when we
reached the cabin. • The voices of the
whippoowills had succeeded the whistle
of the quails. I have neglected to men-
tion the presence of two canine compan-
ions, Mr. Tobias Porter’s black and tan,
Bounce, and a bird dog, Fannie, the
property of Mr. Fisher. No where in the
world are dogs so companionable as in
camp. It seemed as if a new and happy
existence had been opened up to Bounce.
He would play and chase the birds over
the prairies, and nose around our blank-
ets in the morning to have us get up. He
would not permit a hog or cow to ap-
proach the camp, and was jealous of the
presence of a visiting dog, and would
play a terrible game of bluff to drive
them out of camp. One day Mr. Sum-

to consideration, we have the beat equip- ,
ped camp that was ever pitched In this en-
tire country—this fc the verdict of numer-
ous visitors. Our commissary is complete
and our cook, Alt, L a jewel. We have
named our camp ‘‘Camp Summers,” as a
mark of respect to our companion who
traveled nearly two thousand mile* to
participate in this hunt. It was first in-
sisted that we name it “Camp Wildcat,"
as Mr. Fisher has killed two, and will
bring their scalps home os a proof of his
prowess. Game is abundant. We have
been in camp nine days, and two dew,
eight wild turkeys, over one hundred
squirrels, one coon, two wild cats sued
numerous ducks have haps killed. The
first dav in camp the writer killed a buck
—his first deer. Mr. Fisher has shot six
turkeys, while Mr. Summers contents him-
>elt w ith smaller game. Old hunter* ex-
press surprise at our luck. Two miles
further down the Bayou there is a party
ot gentlemen from Von JUstywe. They
have two large covered wagons, two bug-
gies, a number of saddle horses and a
pack of hounds. The party number eight,
including a cook and assistant. They
struck camp the day previous to our com-
ing. They have been unfortunate, killing
only one deer. The/ break camp to-
morrow (Monday the 17th) Mtd wIU go
on the Canadian, to remain until Christ-
mas. They are a splendid, Jolty lot of
gentlemen sportsmen, and we wish them
good luck. Dumas, the leader, says that
he will have “meat,” If he remains In the
woods all winter. We admire his grit.
It seems good to be In the woods once
more. One who has In former years lived
much In the]woods, torips a stronger at-
tachment for that life, than a man ever
forms for any other. The affection which
we have for the companion* of our soli-
tude is very strong. It is the same prin-
ciple in which prisoners have loved toad*
and spiders, or even inanimate object*.
Hence, when I find myself In the woods,
the old sights and sound* come back with
such force that I cannot tear myself away.
But for these annual excursion* that I
make to thp woods, I would have been
dead and forgotten, but by the few, long
ago. The first night in camp I could not
sleep. It Is so with most men. I left the
tent and sat down on a log by the Bayou.
It was pleasant and warm; at the distance
of a few yards the tent was visible, and
nothing could be seen but the obscure
figures ot the horses, deeply breathing,
and restlessly starting as they slept, or
still slow ly champing the gram. Far oft,
beyond the black outline of the woods,
there was a ruddy light, gradually increas-
ing, like the glow of a conflagration, un-
til at length the broad disk of the moon,
blood-red, and vastly magnified by the
vapors, rose slowly upon the darkness.
There was something impressive and
awful In the place and in the hour. To
me there is a pathetic stillness In the
woods at night. Outside of the ring of
the light of our camp the wood* were
black. There is a tremendous impression
ot isolation and lonesomeness in the situ-
ation. The woods never seemed *0 vast
and mysterious. The trees are gigantic.
There are noises that we do not under-
stand—mysterious winds passing over-
head and rumbling in the great galleries,
tree trunks grinding against each other,
and undefinable stirs and uneasiness. The
shapes ot thqse who pass into the dim-
ness are outlined in monstrous propor-
tions. Everything is strange, spectral,
fascinating. The individual who Is tied
to Ids business and never goes into the
woods, misses sights gnd experiences
which can never come to him elsewhere.
We have been expecting company from
Denison. Henry Speaks, who spent one
afternoon in camp, reported Mr. Tibbs
leaving for our camp over one week ago.
mers and the writer, with Bounce at our
heels, w-ript out on the prairie and got in-
to a fiock^of chickens and fired several
shots. Bounce put his tail between his
legs and “lit out” for the woods at a
Maud S. gait. It was evidently the first
time that he had ever heard a volley of
guns. He has been seen several times,
but will permit no one to approach him.
A reward has been offered for his capture,
and the cow boys have promised to bring
him in. A gloom has settled over the
camp since Bounce left us. After a sweet
night’s repose in a h..y loft, and an ex-
cellent breakfast, we started our wagon for
the prairies, intending to go into camp at
the confluence of Long Creek and the
Bayou. The programme, however, was
changed. The water courses were dry,
and Bozarth predicted a scarcity of
game, so we concluded to proceed to some
point on the Bayou, and establish camp
wKere water was oleritiful.
OUR CAMP
is situated on the Bayou near a pool of
water; a more beautiful and suitable lo-
cation we cannot conceive of. The tent
is pitched north and south on a slight
elevation of ground, which descends
gradually to the Bayou. We are in a
magnificent grove of forest trees that,
tower thirty and forty feet skyward. The
tent is a large one, capable of sleeping on
a “tight squeeze,” twenty people. It was
ordered expressly for the trip byCol. J. D.
Yocum,.the champion wing and trap shot
of Texas. We brought along a bale of
hav which we spread on the ground for
sleeping purposes. With a single blanket
thrown down, (and two donble pair for
covering, we sleep warm and comfortable
in our sylvan home. Hardly second In
As yet he has not “Shown up,” I imagine
that Mr.Tibbs would be a most conegental
camp fellow. He is a man who evidently
lives on the sunny side of life, and trou-
bles himself with none of It* cares. It Is
a safe estimate to make, that not one man
in titty is “hale fellow, well met” In the
woods. Time seems to hang heavy on
their hands, and nothing will satisfy
them, only a return to the struggling
crowd of the city. My companions, Sum-
mers and Fisher, are the best of camp
fellows, but I never expect to sil at the
camp fire with such a glorious party of
“Outers” as Jesse Yocam, Top West,
Jim Leaverton and Owen McCarthy;
men of humor and abundant vivacity,
and will contribute more to the liveliness
of the camp than ail the rest of the hunt-
ing parties that I ever met by “field and
flood.”
A cold, wet, disagreeable “norther" has
prevailed for the past two days, and we
have been prisoners in camp, but have
venison and wild turkey sufficient for a
week. Immense flocks of wild ducks are
coming in with the norther, and we look
forward to splendid sport. We contem-
plate breaking camp for the Eagle Lake
country, but may go to the Sassafras*,
where there are a number of duck pond*.
Mr. Joe Laurence, of Caddo, has spent
several days in camp and has proved a
valuable acquisition. As a hunter he has
but few rivals in this entire section of
country. The woods and prairies have
been his school. To all appearance he is
a white man, his complexion is fair, and
not one in a thousand would suspect the
presence of Indian blood. Mr. Laurence
speak* both the Choctaw and Chickasaw
dialects. He has hunted this country for
the past thirty years. The deer and wild
turkey are a kind of companion to him;
he knows all their peculiarities, and has
studied them as a scholar studies his
books. _ J have never, in the city or in the
wilderness, met a better camp companion
than Mr. Laurence. Yesterday Mr.
Laurence shot a doe at a distance of two
hundred yards, the ball breaking the neck,
the doe falling dead in its tracks. It was
a splendid shot, as the deer was just visi-
ble through the brush. Not one man in
a hundred would have caught sight of the
deer, as it was motionless. Mr. Fisher*
who is a splendid shot and a hunter of
many years experience, has killed eight
wild turkeys, fiv* of the number gobblers.
Wild turkey are more difficult to kill than
any game in the woods.
This communication was written on
the day of the 13th. It is eighteen miles
to the nearest post office. I start to-
morrow for there on horseback to post
this. So, dear readers, if you find any-
thing in my sketch of camp life to inter-
bleak
thing in my sketch ot camp lite to
est you, my ride across the cold,
prairies will not have been in vain.
