CKSON OF CHICAGO.

B:m;Ee Wiped Out the Entire Family of , Hunnn Wolves in Florida. I bed been employed by the great Improynrnent & Beclaim Company of Mobile to explore and map certain lands in Florida lyirnr well down on the edge of the great Cypress Swamp- The company had pnxchased nearly 1,000.001 wares ol wild land in tbejocation I liave mentioned, and it was ' Mriavftry"Iwr some one to visit it and walk over most of tho ground before it could be pot in (he m:,rket.iB the manner contemplated, land beif on the gsnond three weeks, having two men with me, when the adventure happened which I am about to folate. - One morning the three of ns left our camp beside one of the lakes on tho Upper - St. John'sor ajbrostp, intending to return by evening. While I made notes and kept thelopofrraphythe men noted the varieties of woods, natrrre of the soil, and other details of interest, On three different occasions we had encountered white men in ther dense and lonely' forest, and knew from their looks and surroundings that they were renegades .from civilization. Twice we had stumbled over rode camps occupied by negroes, and they were a tough-looking lot. We had traveled a distance of perhaps three miles-when I was stung on the back Voft'the kand by an insect rtwenjblujg a hornet, although much larger. In fifteen initiate the pain brought me to a halt, and my hand was swollen like a puff-ball. After a consultation it was decided that I should return to camp, and the men would push on by compass and cover a certain ana, and come in toward night.' Before I . had covered the distance to camp, I was near twreaming oat with pain, and my arm was puffing up with the poison. There was a remedy in the medicine chest, but it was a full hoar before the pain was relieved. Then I began to feel sleepy, and I bunked down and was soon fast asleep. At about noon, after a nap of two horns, I was awakened by (he sound of human voice. "Say, yon!" I opened my eyes to find a white renegade standing over me, holding one uf my revolvers in his hand. "Git up!" I ,set up. Allonr goods .in camp had boon packed up and taken away. The man who confronted me was the wickedestlooking fellow we had yet met in the swamps. His hair and whiskers were SO long and unkempt that little of his face except bis ugly black eyes and yellow teeth could be seen. His clothing was part oloth and part skins, and it was plain that he had avoided civilization for years. Git up and come," he growled. "Who are you and what do you want?" I diaauiided as I reached my feet. "Walk!" he commanded, pointing to the west. At that moment a third actor appeared. Ji was a woman tall, gaunt, f eroctous,and dressed hi the same nondescript costume as the roan. She eame out of the jungle to

the west, and as soon as near

to make her words understood she said:

"If he won't move, down him and tie his hands and feet. We can tote two sich as

Bhe had the other revolver in her hand, and I noticed that both had hunting-knives. 'Twas unarmed, still weak from the effects of the poisonous sting, and entirely within their power. The woman struck into the jungles, I followed, and the man brought up the rear. After a walk of about a quarter of a mile we reached'the be.nk8 of the lake. Tied to a bee by s rawhide rope was a floating cabin. The foundation was a rough-made sow, and the upper works, as they may be termed, consisted of a long, narrow, and stoutty-raade hut of logs. There was a ehimneyofmud and sticks; from which smoke issued, and two persons were on the bank to receive us. One was a boy of 12 or 13, and the other a girl two or three years older. They looked more like wild animals than human beings, and talked in a language so strange that I could not understand a word. "Gpahead," said the man, as I halted on the bank; and I followed the woman aboart of the scow and into the cabin. It was a house in which there was but one room, with the hides of cattle thrown over the wild Southern moss for beds. There was no stoves, but a sort of fireplace made of stones, with two or three iron kettles on the hearth as kitchen furniture. All our camp equipage had been removed to the cabin, and my Winchester rifle stood in the comer. As this was then a avw arm I did not believe they knew how to use it, but my revolvers were Coifs old patent, and loaded with powder and used percusBsDB capo. "Sot thar," said the woman, as she pointed to a eomer. - I went over end sat down on abed. It was not the comer in which my rifle stood, bat the weapon was not more than ten feet away. The woman then said something to the children in their own mongrel dialect, and both of tbm sat down facing me, and oaly three or four feet away. Tha mas

m m w rope, seaad job

poles, and presently the boat slowly moved down the lake to the north. The lake appeared to be about three miles wide by five long, and was shut in by the dentte forest. The views I had through the open door and the chinks between the logs showed me that tike craft was kept near the shore. While the people seemed in no great hurry to get dawn the lake, they kept the scow reaving at a fair pace until .we were about three miles from the place where we had embarked. A landing was then made in

the mouth of a creek, and the scow was1

entirely hidden from sight of any one on the lake,. Huntera -and tourists, and even small pleasure-steamers, came up. from the main river as far as this lake. It was midafternoon when the boat was made fast. The pant and- swelling had now entirely departed from my hand and arm and the helpless feeling which had come over -me when first captured had given war to a determination to help myself oat of the scrape. , If I could get hold of jnj ride I ? would be a match fothe 'whoMFfour of them. I counted them as four, because the boy and girl had hunting-knives and would surely take part in any scrimmage brought on. Their looks and actions proved this. They maintained their places directly in front of me and their eves never left me for a second. They

I held their knives as if they expected an

attempt to escape, and meant to thrust and cut if I tried it. While the boat was moving there was no show for me. A score of alligators, some of monstrous size, followed ns in procession, and I had but to look out upon the lake to realize that it was alive with these fierce reptiles. One who jumped or fell overboard would be seised 'as soon as he struck the water. Not a word was addressed to me until the boat had been tied up. Then the man eame in, took a single-barreled rifle from under the other bed, and, after a few hurried words with the woman outside, jumped ashore and disappeared. When he had gone the women entered, lighted a pipe, and, sending the boy outside to watch, she sat down in his place with the cocked revolver on her lap. She had a face which betrayed the mind of a beast. "Well, what are you going to do with me?" I asked after a while. "Seed you to the alligators," she replied. "Where has your husband eonu?" "To kill the other two men." "What do you want to murder us for? We have in no way injured yon." "We was whipped and drav out of the settlements, and we want revenge," she growled, "But we had nothing to do with it," I protested, in a firm tone. "Can't help that. Yon come poachingpn our claim," she answered. "But well go away." . '"I guess you won't. We never tetany one git away and tell on us!" , i said nothing further, but i by no means looked upon myself as a dead man. If worst come to worst I would give them a fight. I could not move then, with knife and bullet ' ready for me, and deemed it wiser to settle back sndjiide mj.tuna.v The man had been gone about half an hour when the faint report or a rifle came to ns through the trees. The woman had been listening for it, and as it came she gave a start and cried out: "There goes one of 'em." "Who?" I asked. "One of your partners. San has dropped him for sure. There was such a fiendish, blood-thirsty look on her face that I was appalled, and the same expression, to. a certain degree, rested on the faces of tile children. lake dogs, they licked (heir chops in anticipation of a bloody feast. In about half an- hour the man appeared. He had a bundle of clothing in one hand and two rifles and a revolver in the other. "Git one?" the woman asked, as he eame aboard the ungainly craft.' "Yes." "Didn't git the both?" "No. The other got away . I'll git him to-nwrrow,he replied. "Git much?" "lots." He had in his hand the suit of clothes, rifle, and revolver belonging to one of my men George Sheen, of Mobile. There were blood stains on the clothing, and as he unrolled the bundle I saw a bullet hole in the vest. He had killed the man and then stripped him stark naked. Yes, he had boots, socks, hat, collar, everything. Tho other man was Eobert Jackson, of Chicago, who had worked with me for years. He had not "got" him. Why? Jackson was well armed and a brave man. If he had been present at the shooting of Sheen he would not have run away. Sheen had an old-fashioned rifle; Jackson had a Winchester. He woujd in turn have killed the outlaw. The two men must have been separated and the outlaw must have ambushed Sheen. Leaving the children to watch me, the man and woman now cast the scow loose and poled her out about 300 feet from the shore. The sun. was getting well down, and our side of the lake was in a deep shadow. When the scow had been anchored by a stone, the pair inspected the personalfproperty and counted the money taken from the victim. The outlaw then washed the blood from his hands. When they entered the cabin orhonsethe woman produced some cold meat and hoecake and threw hunks to each one, including myself. It was only after the provisions had disappeared, I eating mine with the rest, that the man addressed me: "See yere, stranger," he said, "what brought you up yere?" "Looking over lands," I replied. "Urn! Who be you?" I told him. "Didn't count on serin' Black Dan, I reckon?" he sneered. "Ho." "Which is unfortunate for yon. I've killed every land-hunter who ever sot f ol on my claim, and I'll keep killin', sure," "We didn't come hereto disturb or annoy you,' I said. j "It's jist the Bame thing. I'm down on the hull human race fur the way I've been used, and I'll kilt whenever I kin git the chance. I've dror.pedone of you're fellere. Tomorrer I'll drop the other, and then take keer of yon. Git over thar andlay down." "Over thar" was in the corner, and entirely out of the reach of my Winchester. When I bunked down in the corner the gun was removed, entirely, and the family lay down in such a way as to hem me in. For the first three or four hoars they were like eats, starting Up at the slightest move, but toward midnight I was satisfied that all were asleep. I could not reach the firearms without stepping over ike bodies, and they knew that any effort on my part to loosen a log would arouse them. About midnight, after a long and cautious aQrt,Iiatnp, ItwM a starlight sight,

and, as there was no door to the cabin, could seo out. I was fully deteimiuod to make an effort to escape, but when X cams to canvass the chances I had to abandon the idea. Tho alligators were constantly about us, often rearing up to paw at the logs, and unless I could get hold of the firearms and begin the fight I should be

wiped out in any effort I made. I think I

slept for an hour or two, and what aroused me I cannot tell. I was still sitting, and as I looked out upon the night I saw a human figure draw itself up on the bows of the boat. I st first supposed it was one of the family, but a moment's observation convinced me to the contrary. The figure moved cautiously, as if desiring its presence unknown, and was a longtime in reaching the door. It then leaned against the logs and made a long survey of the interior, and finally sank out of sight. My. heart was beating like atrip-hammer, and I could not fathom the mystery. Was it an Indian or another out-law? Moving socourjpasly, what object had he in view? Had 1 .once thought of Jackson I should not have dared to hope he had come .to my rescue through that water; and, too, I coul d not have believed he knew of my whereabouts. From the time I first caught sight of the figure to daylight was probably an hour and a half, but it seemed to me as if I lived five years. I had no hopes that the man was a friend, and yet I could not look for a new enemy. Perhaps, after all, it was only one of the refugee negroes, of whom scores were hiding in the swamps, who had mode his way to the scow in hopes to lay hands on provisions or clothing. I kept my eyes on the spot where I had last seen Mm, and, as he did not reappear, I began to feel that he had slipped back into the water, and returned to tho shore. Did you ever watch the coming oi daylight when you folt that with it might come some life or death transaction? Th first signs came from the birds. Then, aiar up the lake, come the cries of water fowl. A fox or some other animal stood on the shore near where we had tied up the night before, and barked in an angry voice. The stars paled and drifted out of sight, and the interior of the cabin began to light up until I oonld distinguish the forms of the sleepers. Where was the strange man friend or enemy? As if in response to my quory he suddenly roseup.stepped noiselessly inside the door, and the next instant a revolver began to crack, and a voice shouted at me: "Keep down, Colonel; hug the floor!" -I rolled over on my face, and I heard yells, screams, and groans. It was all over in thirty seconds, and some one called: "All right, Colonel I've wiped tho varmints out!" I sprang up to find Jackson standing in the center of the cabin, and on ike floor lay outlaw, wife, and children,' all dead. It was as I had argued the day previous. The two men had separated in the woods Sheen to return directly to camp and Jackson to hunt for game for supper. Tile outlaw had ambushed Sheen and killed him, and Jackson had heard the report of the gun and. become suspicious. He bunded to camp to find me gone and a verything taken, and had traced us to the lake. He' found indications to prove that n boat had been used, and he followed the shore of the lake down until he found the scow at anchor. Not one man in a thousand would have shown his nerve. He knew of the alligators, could see a dozen of them moving about, and yet he disrobed, tied his weapons across his head, and swam straight for the Bcow and reached it unmolested. He saw that the only way was to wipe out all the gang, and as soon as daylight would guide his aim he began his work. When we had buried our comrade we made a close search of the floating cabin, and we found indisputable proof of the murder of five or six persons. In an old wooden bucket were two gold and three silver watches, several pocket knives, half a dozen rings, and $825 in gold, silvor, and greenbacks. As none of these articles could be traced back to their owneis, and as vengeance had overtaken the murderers, we felt no hesitation in taking possession of everything for the benefit of Sheen's widow. The last act was to set fire to the scow and push it out into the lake. It was as merciful to consign the bodies to the flames as to see the alligators fight over them. Such human wolves did not deserve burial.

ztxsiifFJSVTioirs, Every one knows how badly mucilage that has been opened for any length of

time, is apt to smell, as well as paste

and glue and other combinations. But everybody does not know that this disagreeable smell may be prevented by dissolving in water a few crystals of carbolic acid, which will be furnished by the chemist, and then adding a few drops of the solution to tho offending preparation. Even the ink which has become unwholesome is purified and put into good condition by this slight addition. An ounce of this solution in a buoket of whitewash will drive away roaches and water bugs, wherever it is used, with most of their congeners, and add infinitely to the cleaning powers of the wash. It is to be remembered, however, that carbolic acid in any form is always io be handled with care, as it is a dangerous plaything. Quite as effective a disinfectant and dflsbroyer of most of our troublesome insects is bromine. A bottle of this, left unstopped in the room, will drive away every .sort of winged vermin. It is said also to be very unpleasant to the creeping things of cracks and crevices; but concerning that we cannot affirm positively. It is quite enough that it drives the mosquito into regions more salubrious to his petship, and causes the fly to feel an exceeding haste to betake himself to other quarters. The oil of pennyroyal, the powder of xodoform and various other pttnfent and ill-smelling contrivances have been tried to these ends with less success than has attended the use of bromine. FAItMH OP THE VILaillMH. A prominet New England farmer predicts that Massachusetts farms, which were tilled with miccess by the Pilgrims and their immediate progeny, are tending toward wildness, and may some day form a proper field for the new settler.
