Mr. Chairman, gentlemen of the Con-J

venuou anu r euow-uiuzens :?x or tue
eighth time in succession have I had j
P the proud gratification to receive the :
! nomination of the people of this dls-,
trict for Congress. To say that 1 am j
grateful and proud of it would be to !
tell the simple truth. To be chosen so j
often as representative from this his- i
torical county, to serve longer than any j
other congressman in this State, a dis- j

Fhis distinguished successors, says a
great deal either for me or for tlie people
of this district, or for both. I nm
not vain enough to take this display j
of regard as evidence of any ability in j
me, but because you have faith in mc.
I You know that I will serve you to the
best of my ability, and under no cir?"
cumstances betray your trust.
"What adds to this gratification is that
I have been ehoscn during most trying
times. We have just come out of a
war. We have been plundered ever
since we -were conquered, but all conquered
people must suffer. Unfortunately
we have an unfortunate race in '
our midst, whom our enemies have
> sought to raise to our standard, or
rather level us to theirs. I am sorry to !
say you are a conquered people, and
your enemies are trying to see how far <

tribute to the conquerer and survive, j:
The harder trie agricultural class
works, the more self denial they practice,
the poorer they get. The reason
of it is the higher taxes you must pay i
to go out in pensions. High taxes
don't impoverish a people provided (
they are spent among the people who
_ pay"them, but when they are paid out ,
to another people the one who receives \
grows richer. 60 as Ireland is impoverished
to enrich England you are (
v being: impoverished to enrich the '
North, but the taxes they pay they get ,
back in appropriations and pensions. '
You pay between forty and fifty millions
a year taxes simply because you
were on the wrong side. Your chil- 1
dren must continue to pav these taxes
J j -i-.-ij " V-.'il I
? ana your grauu uuiiureu. eiouri uic
sub-treasury nor any other ae>ice can <
stop it. There is too much taxation :
and too little money in circulation to 1
^ meet the taxes. You ought to do all
you can to have an income tax to the 1
^-~T!ch men of the North. The East 1
owns the West and South. They own
all the rail roads. There are 34' char- i
tered roads in South Carolina and the ]
citizens of the State do*not own a ma|
jority of the stock in any and the ]
l all rrn one wav. 1
By the time you meet the interest on i
your debts and pay your taxes and I
fixed charges there" is not enough ;
money left to bring fair prices on your l
products. You want an income* tax, I
and you want to abolish the tax on! i
whiskey and tobacco. I do not mean j
to have free whiskey and tobacco, (1 i
see one friend shake his head over s
there) but to get rid of the horde of
official vermin who go around and ,
smell your bottles and nose around ?
your tobacco and who as much as say, j
fielp yourseii, 11 you aare. L,ai me |;
State and the counties and cities get |,
the benefit of the whiskey and tobacco j tax.
(
I am sorry 1 can not go into a long ; (
speech on the sub-treasury and give : j
you something better than that bill, c
You ought to issue more money. If J
you do not the Xorth will own you
body and soul. They own the West too, ,
but the West is more bitter against the i \
f South than the North is. They put a J
tax on Southern cotton seed oil so;
that it will be fit for nothing but ma- !
nure. Where were your Western sub- i ]
treasury friends when Congress taxed j t
^ vrr.-ir prttton nil* tchpr, it. 3f;0 I }
J wv** y ? ,
l per cent, on your cotton ties; when that!
infamous force bill was passed, and
L when the West refused to vote for free
L silver.
K It is sickening to see the South talk
A about forming a political alliance with
W the West. It is not worth while to go
T ~ - into details about the sub-treasury.
(Ones of go on; tell us all about it.) " j
Well, I will tell you about it.
? Mr. Tillman then recited the provisions
of the bill. Continuing he
said: ; (
It is paternalism and protection run ; (
mad. It is a proposition to let the gov-j 1
eminent take care of your crop and j s
after a while teil you how to run it.
k JfopQptcn :!;nd Cofieton would not get'
|p a ware house.
A Voire?But does not ths bill pro-:
vide that two or three countirs may!'
combine and pet a ware house*?
Mr.Tillman?Yes, but it stipulates!,
that yon must, carry your produce to ^
the nearest ware house. ;'
McCtme is the originator of that bill, j \
Llle is a reformed Republican, who fail- j;
at dentistry in Indiana, floated about-'
California for a while, and finally went i
down to Texas, where he manipulated
Alliance money.
I Is there anv justice in taxing other1
Industries to build warehouse : or the;
products of the farmers. The Alliance: ;
professes equal justice to all and special j'
fevors to none. I* that aint special!;
Ivor what is it?
Two Republicans framed that bill,
here is no Democracy in it. It is a
Fridge to carry the Democratic party ;
bver, horse, foot and dragoon, to the :;
Republican party. It provides for the j
Iuicuuuii 01 warniuuse uui, j
the constitution says federal oflieers;
must be appointed and not clected, and ;
you know whom the Republicans willj;
appoint. It says there shall be an clec-11
tlon to decide "where the warehouses 1
shall be built. It will be a federal elec-;
lion, not a State election. The negroes :'
would vote, and whites would divide.!
Would not. Th?t. :i nice state of
I affairs V Then there would be lots of
stealing and embezzling; cotton would
disappear, and there \vo<ud be litiga- ]
tion. Some of you might take ;i litt le j
too much whiskey and get into tights; I
you would be on Vederai ground. All
\vould nave to be tried in the UniU-d j
States court. You could not bring!
... :..4 . . i- ~ 'in. ; .
ri/uein into your own courts, i uwt*
no more chance for that bill to pass
than there is to pass a bill to build a
tower to the moon.
There were only two congressmen
who were avowed supporters of the:
sub-treasury bill. They had their papers
as lawyers annulled," *iut the Alliance
thought they were too enthusiastic,
and did not nominate 'them for
another term.
The most stupid thing to 1110 in the
whole bill is that i>u per cent, advanced j
on products in the early part of the
year and at the latter end of the year
the money is burned. What you need
Is more money, all the time to keep
prices up and keep them steady.
The bill was gotten up by a com
mittee of three?a dreamer, a speculator
and a scurvy politician?who wanted
to provide a popular scheme for
broken down politicians. Senator
Vance introduced it into the Senate by
IT/v nV\Anf if fnr
ic^uvsw XXU v><ia s:icuu a wuv iu av.
four months, and at the end of which
time he denounced it. In the meantime
though the Alliance papers and
tramp orators cried it aloud that Senator
Vance endorsed it. and what Senator
Vance endorses is right. Mr.
Ileraphlli has whipped it out in his
district. In Georgia all the strong;
politicians went back in spite of it.
Two of them did not seek another
term. Major Barnes was not defeated
on account of it, but on account of the
prejudice of country against the city.
I seek to protect the Alliance, to keep
politicians from prostituting it. Stand
by the Alliance and vote for Alliancemen
and measures, but not as a secret
body.
It is time I should close, though I
have not said one-tenth part that could
be said against this preposterous hum- j
bug.
If the West is being robbed by the;
East they will come to us. At the Xo- j
vember elections we will see whether i
the West is inclined to unite with us.!
Don't be in too great a hurry. We
were in a hurry in ?60, but we have j
been repenting it ever since. Wait and
see if the West will come to us.
Put an income tax on the wealth of
the East. There are four reasons why I
have no use for the sub-treasury billit
is a crude, impracticable, Republican,
unconstitutional measure.
Livingstone, jPoik, Alcuune ana two
or three others were put upon the legislative
committee at the St. Louis
meeting to suggest the outline of the
measure, but McCune and Waddill
ilrafted it. The five cents you send up
there will go. They must pretend to
be doing something to c-arn those big
salaries they are getting.
Mr. Thomas Whittle, in the audience,
objected to Mr. Tillman's attacks on
McCune et al. lie said he was going
to vote for him, but he did not think it
fair to run those men down.
Mr. Tillman?I admire your pluck.
Mr. Whittle?I admire yours.
Mr. Tillman?xnen it is mutual admiration.
Mr. Tillman continued his discussion
the sub-treasury. Distillers he said
furnished their own warehouses, the
government furnished the watchmen j
and the guagers odIv.
All". >V UitbiC cm: kuuiuo i
3hould have the same advantages.
.dr. Tillman?Can two wrongs make j
\ right V
Mr. Whittle?Then remedy that.
Mr. Tillman?That's what I've been
trying to do.
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
At this juncture there was a little
?xcitererent created. Captain Markert
irose tc ask Mr. Tillman to explain
low the Federal officers would handle ;
the farmers' cotton and jokingly renarked
about Mr. Whittle's interruptions.
Mr. Whittle took offence and said
;hat he was a native born South Caroinian
and Captain Markert was not.
lr. Alex "White, who knew Captain
larkert's war record to be as good as
hat of any native born South Carolinian
and better than even some of the
tate's own sons retorted that Captain j
larkert had heard the whistle of more j
ullets around him than did Mr, Whit- j
:le. The latter resented the remark
md there was considerable confusion
for a few minutes, but quiet soon was
restored and Mr. Tillman concluded his
speech.
The great, just Good, he said, is tern- j
pering the wind to the shorn lamb, j
the production of cotton is not keep-}
ng pace with its manufacture. The j
South raised One provision crop last j
rear and a few more will bring the j
West to its knees. It will have to burn I
;orn for fuel again and it will be,a drug
)n the market, bringing no price. Then
;he West will come to "the South and
>eek an alliance to Taise the moneyed
srmrMaonr" of thf?
Mr. Tillman closeu with a strong appeal
never to submit to negro dorninaiion.

Komance of aCurl.
Chicago, Sept. 24.?About thirty i
rears ago Captain James H. Miller, of j
:ne tniteci states volunteers, sat uelind
Jennie James, a pretty miss of
eighteen, at a camp meeting. Jennie
lad bewitchingly long curls which the
Captain could not refrain from pulling,
from the shock of that pull his feelings
lever recovered. The two became in:imately
acquainted, and when the Cap;ain
was ordered to Virginia with his
egiment he took away the heart and a
ring of Jennie's. Since then .Jennie,
:ired of waiting, has married three times.
Fite Captain has also married, but the
ufatuation of the curls always remained
with him. and the other day, when he
iifd, he left Jennie 803.000. Jennie was
found to-day in squalid rooms with a
squalling baby, she was overjoyed
svheii the news'was broken to her.

Johnston, the mind reader, opened a
iiilicult combination safe in the presence
)f many well-known people at a hotel
iere recently under remarkable circum-!

Xhe proprietors and book-keep?r

thought of the combination. With out

at dusk as Win. ('armhers, a wealthy
farmer, was driving to his ho:ne at
Nolensville. a suburb of Nashville, accompanied
by a young colored boy,
they were attacked and terribly beaten
and Caruthers was robbed by four unknown
men. Caruthers died to-day of
iiis injuries. The boy is still alive, but
is in a precarious condition. None of
tne robbers ha" been seen since the
attack, although they were noticed by
several parties loitering about the locality
in shady corners. The neighbors

tal as it was unprecedented. It was ;
after 1 o'clock to-day before enough Ke-1
publicans put in an appearance to make !
up a quorum. |
The Democrats remained out of the j
hall and consequently there was no one j
to demand a roll-call but Mr. OTerrall, j
and his request had no aval) with 16G j
hot-heaued partisans. As soon as the |
j
presence of a quorum was announced i
Langston was voted in by a viva voce j
i vote. The greatest contusion prevailed
I in the meantime, as the galleries were
crowded with negroes enthusiastic for
Langston. The Republican members i
were equally wild and uncontrollable,
and the yelling and stamping of feet 1
was terrific when Speaker Reed declared
Langston entitled to a seat as He- .
presentative from the 4th Virginia <
district. j
Amid shouts and applause Langston i
I was sworn in. The Republicans then | [
shouted wildly to the committee on j ^
elections to cau up uienexi* ease, wuieu j j
was the Miller-Elliott contest. There 11
was no debate and the reading: of the j!
committee resolutions was even omit- j!
ted, so desperate was the majority and j
so eager were they for Democratic 11
scalps. : j
Mr. O Ferrall and several Republicans
protested against such summary j
proceedings, but Speaker Reed heeded
them not, and without permitting1 a di- '
vision declared Torn Miller a Rep re- 1
sentative of the 7th Congressional dis- 1

Mr. O'f errall wa3 the only Democrat 1
in the chamber this morning during ?
the delivery of the prayer. The clerk ,
immediately began the call of the roil j
on the approval of Friday's Journal. j
The clerk having called the roll, an- j.
nounced the pairs and recapitulated the; j
list of those voting.
The Speaker hesitated before he announced
the result, there being but two !
lacking of a quorum.
Mr. O'Ferrall demanded that the rc- j -
auiL uc auuvuiitcu.
In order to delay the announcement, t
Republican after Republican rose and f
requested to know how he was record- ?
ed. 1
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, inquired how t
the gertlrman from Virginia (O'Fer- j
rail) tad v.?ted. i
Mi-. O'Fcrrall replied that he had!,
never voted to perpetrate larceny, and j
he did not propose to do so in this case. 1
Mr. Ail*:, of Michigan : "The gentle- J
men doth protest too much. The gentle- 1
men has evidently stolen the whole of '
the other side." c

gentleman from Virginia (OTeriall)
when he was seated by the Democratic j
House, considered it larceny. t
Mr. O'Ferrall retorted that keeping |(
him out of his seat had been larceny, I;
and that the Democratic Congress had ;
vindicated him.
Mr. Taylor : "The only evidence that j1
you had the right to the seat was that;J
you were seated by a majority vote." i
Mr. O'Ferrall: "It would be well to J .
remember the course of the Represen-!;
tatives of the last Congress when for days
and weeks they refrained from <
voting in the contested case of Sullivan 1
vs. Felton." 1
Mr. Allen, of Michigan : "Why did '
you not count us?"
The vote was then announced to be? | 1
yeas 155, nays 1?do quorum, and a call '
of the Iiouse was ordered.
Just as the clerk began to call the (
roll, Mr. Sweeny, of Iowa, one of the <
absentees, entered and was received by
nis colleagues witn appiauss. Miorny
afterwards, Mr. Mudd, of Maryland,
made his appearance and received a reception
of mingled applause and hisses, j
jburing the roll-call the camera was I
again brought into requisition and!
photographers again reproduced the ar-;
ray of empty Democratic seats.
One hundred and sixty-four members
responded to the call and without any
announcement of the result, further j
proceedings were dispensed with, and ,
the vote again recurred on approving
Friday's Journal. '
While this roll-call was in progress :
nnnlii!<o hisws wrre rnvnn when ;
Mr. Miilikon entered the hall. Tor a :
time Mr. Oheadle, of Indiana, who is
opposed to Langston's claims, joined
the absentees. lie located himself on <
a lounge in the lobby, declining to 1
enter the chaml>er. I3nt the requests ;
and supplications of his party asso- ;
ciates proved too strong, and upon this !
vote he recorded his name in the affirm- :
ative. The vote resulted?yeas- 100,
nays nothing?the cierk noting a 1

i JNot withstanding the protests of Mr. j
O'Ferrall, the Speaker directed the read- ,
ing cf Saturday's Journal.
Mr. OTerrall demanded a division nr.
its approval, and while the Republicans
were being counted he retired to
the cloak room amid victorious shouts
from the Republicans and expressions;
of regret at his desertion.
As soon as Mr. OTerrall was out of j
; the hall, Mr. Hanger, asked unanimous j
consent to dispense with a division, j
! and there being no Democrat present!
i to object, it was so ordered, amid laugh- i
er and applause. Then Mr. OTerrall !
1 returned, but tlie Journal had been an- j
jproved.
Monday's .Journal was approved with-!
j out objection.
i The question fiiea recurred on the j
; tirst of the majority resolutions to un-!

Then came the question on the scat;
ing of Langston, and it was carried on

! Mr. Ilaugen then escorted Langston
j to the bar of the House, while the Ke;
publican side and the galleries broke
i out into loud applause and cheers,
which were redoubled as the Speaker j
administered the oath. j
Then came a chorus from the Rf-j
publican side : "Call up another case." j
And in response to the chorus Mr. j1
PiOWf-11. of Illinois, called up the South j
Carolina case of Miller against Elliott, j
Mr. Overran raised a question 011
consideration, and on a viva voce vote!
the Speaker stated that the House had i
determined to consider the election J
case.
Mr. O'Ferrall made a point that there i
was no quorum present.
The Speaker declined to entertain
the point, stating that the last vote had
shown a quorum, and that since then
several Dwmecrats had entered the hall. 1
The previous question was ordered, ]
and despite the protest from Mr. Kerr, ;
of Iowa, that some reason for its adoption
should be given, the resolutions
unseating Elliott and seating Miller 1
were agreed to without division.
COTTON MERCHANTS EXCITED. <
A Movement which Threaten* Serious j j
Consequences. I ;
Xi:\v York, Sept. 24.?The Comrner- j ^
cial Bulletin of tins city says advices from j t
Birmingham. Ala., slate that the | (
Farmers'' Alliance in Alabama are hold- ,
ing meetings and binding members, by
resolutions and written agreements, not "
to sel their cotton crop until the price *
has been forced up to a price satisfactory 1
tn Jlif> Alli'irwc T!i(> nipmliprs vnocTilr I
~ v
enter into these agreements, believing t
tiiev can hold the bulk of the cotton crop j
until the price can be forced up to 12 cents
or higher.
If this arrange ment is carried out it 1
means ruin to thousands of merchants '<
and many bankers in the Shouth. Xinety t
per cent, of the cotton crop is sold when t
it is planted, and the crop is grown on .
credit. The farmer owes the merchant,
the merchant owes the banker and bank- *
sr in many cases owes his Eastern cor- *
respondent. The merchant's notes to '
the banker fall due from Oetobcr 15 to c
November 1, and the banker's paper in r
New York is due a lille later. If the e
'armer does not sell his cotton he can- ^
:iot pay his merchant and the latter can- "
lot pay the banker. r
it has just been announced, as com- I
us from hi^h Alliance authority, that \
igeiuts of the Order have made arrange- a
nents wmin European capitalists to act- ']
ranee the farmers $32 per bale on all I
olion stored in the ware house. This 0
vould enable the farmers to pay the bulk 0
)1 the money he owes his meehant and h
prevent anything like a panic, but it is b
loubtiful if any such airangement has (j
jeen made. But even if he fails to make
m arrangement to borrow money on his v
vare house receipts, the farmers, at least c
.he Alliance farmer, proposes to hold o
lis cotton anyway and let the merchant
ind banker squirm. The farmer says y
hat when he was the helpless worm 1:
,he merchant and banker combined to "
;rush him without nicrcy. aad now he ?
las the power he will not grieve over ^
-heir sufferings.
iUercnaats and bankers in all the j r
owns and cities o' the cotton State i t
ranklv admit that the situation looks 11
serious, but they .still hope lor the best. [ c
Where the merchant holds a mortgage on 1
.he crops he will attempt to force the de- j c
ivory of the cotton at the time speccfied j a
n his mortgage, but the farmer has sever- 1
il cards in his sleeve he can play if uecessary,
and delay delivery several weeks.
Lie can harvest his crop late, his gin ,
nav break down, or other accidents t
lappen that will prevent his getting his

BLOODY CONFLICT WITH ITALIANS.

;omes from Louisa, Ky., that on Twelve c
1'cle Creek, near Wayne Court House, <1
Va., Friday, a terrible light occurred ?
between the SIi^rifT's posse and a gang ;
)f Italian railroad laborers, in which L
5cY."ral Italians were killed and a nurn
>er wounded. t
Some weeks ago a contractor on the
Norfolk and "Western Railroad named I
[\fOgh went -sway leaving numerous t
creditors. among the number being a 1
lumber of Italians. Several clays ago a 1
K'vv pnntmftnr took possession of flip C
ibandoned works and put a number of
.a borers to work in a cut formerly c
vorked by Italians. The* Italians re- rJ
'used to allow any one to work until t
hey had received their pay lor work t
lone under Keogh and proceeded to I
sust the new laborers. r
Three times the new laborers were t
un out of the cut by Italians, who used fl
stones, clubs, knives aiul pistols. Tiie
contractor then applied to the court for c
protection and was furnished a posse of *
ibout a dozen men headed by the Sheriff s
)i' Wayne Court House. On Friday the \
Sheriff made an attempt to arrest the s
Italians, who fiercely resisted, and a
combat resulted with forty or more c
Italians on one side with, stones, kiiiv#s c
md revolvers, and the Sheriff's men on I
:he other. j $
The Italians fought from behind i '
irees,stones and whatever would shield i t
i man's body. Firing became sreneral t
iiid lasted some minutes. wnen i,ne
smoke cf battle cleared away, several s
Italians were found in the hist throes c
if death and several more were wound- r

few severe bruises. About twenty j v
Italians were arrested and taken to the ! I

inaiiider escaped in the woods. The j

San Francisco, Sept. 20.?In a re- 1
sent number of the Examiner of this t
2ity Dr. J. S. Davis, an extensive ex- r
plorer says he has just returned from c
in expedition into the interior of Yu- ^
jatan and Concpeache, during which he
net with an awful and unusual ad- j t
venture. The story in the Doctor's s
>wn words is as follows:
In the latter part of May last I went ?
o Central America from San Francisco r
the reques^f* the Munich Society jr
'or Prehistor-Inal T?f>R#?arr*.h nf which I
>m a member, to investigate the anient
ruins which cover that country, I
tvitb a view of obtaining, if possible. "r
ioine clue to tho period to which they *
)e!ong. I got the clue I sought for E
prom some hieroglyphics among the u
3onqucstador ruins, which, according v
;o my theory, are about 8,000 years old, c
jut, ot course, absolute proof is not t
tvailable. I had as a guide a most v
ntelligent half-breed, Manuel Brsero,
ind he informed me that, according to j "
,he traditions of his Indian progenitors, t
,here were some ru'ns of still greater 1;
mtiquity 110 miles to the Northward, I;
iear the liio Seca. Indeed, he said, j
h.it this dry baslQ was once the bed of r
i river that had been turned from its j h
:ouras by the inhabitants of these same u
; Q
uins. Thinking that I might possibly j ind
some corroboration for my theory j e
imong these earlier relics of the lost < f'
ace, i started to find them, accom-!
>anied by my faithful guide. It was' n
ery hard traveling through the jungles ! c
in,'] U'P ri'iPiJp harnlv fifteen niileo ? At>v I
?he difficulties were rnultipled by the j "
normous number of snakes and poison- j
us insects that infest this section. We!
List one of our pack mules through a j
lite or a sting of some sort on the third i
ay.
On. the afternoon of the fourth day j
;c camped in a little opening, clear ex- j &
ept for grass. This was soon burned t,
ff. We
had just finished supper, and I;Z(
/as siiung ai ine d:jsg or a tree; sinok- j n.
ng my pipe when an enormous taran-1 gj
ula came out of the grass into the! rf
1 eared circle. lie was positively the \
argest specimen I had ever seen" and P
,s the slanting rays of the sun caught j a
lira, I noticed a curious,dull,indefinite js
eddish line down his back. I regretted j
hat i had not the means to preserve it, {'
rut Manuel settled my regrets by!
:rushing H with a billet" of wood. It is.'
lad haf-;._ coaled moving when an- i (j
>ther and equally" large ohe appeared ; r
it the other end of the burned patch.;
did not fear them much, as I wore j 1 <
icavv leather leggings, reaching to ray j t(
iips. ! c;
'We have made a bad camp, Manuel." i a
said, "there seems to be many taran-! h
I"
"One place Is about as another," he
nswered in Spanish. "They usually e:
;o by twos." * s;
lie appeared more troubled, however, rt
han his careless answer seemed to in- si
[icate, and while I killed the second un- u
veleome visitor he began to poke P
iround Jn the grass with a long branch, p
le uncovered more of the great spi- 1
lers and killed them. When he turned u
iround there were fully half a dozen a
f them in the cleared space. They si
astened on the dead ones and seemed p
o suck their blood. 11
"We must get out of this." screamed
he Indian. [J
At this moment our remaining mule
tegan to struggle and kick. He soon
iroke his picket rope and disappeared,
"hen 1 became aware of a ste dy rust- ?
injj in the grass. More tarantulas 11
ame out.
"I have heard of it from the Indians,"
iried my guide. 4iIt is the devil*3 army. a:
[hey say that the people who lived in ?
he dead cities were killed by them, and "
hat no one can live there. 'They come s<
>v thousands, like red ants, and" leave ^
ibthing alive where they pass. I 1C
bought it was a squaw story. "We
oust fiEfht. them with fire."
He seized a Ham in g brand from the
amp-fire, and yelled to me to do like- a
vise. He tried to fire the grass on all
ides of us. but where tho trees grew it e,
vas too rank and wet, and the fires we yi
tarted would not go.
Meanwhile the snitofnl snlders be-!
lams more and more numerous. I a
i iishecl at least one of them every step ^
. took. Many of them bit at my legring-s,
and hung there by their fangs. ^
iVe turned our fire-brands to crushing
he tarantulas, but they seemed to come y
hicker than we cor,Id drive them off.
"I am bitten," I heard the Indian
cr*?:ira. I passed him my flask. I could ^
io nothing more for him" and. dropping Jx
r.y stick, I started to run. Every step
nfo the grass seemed to bring me into j g,
vorse quarters. 1 tried every direction, i J
mt they seemed everywhere. I noticed ^
hat they were in the bushes and on the }}
rra?s, so high that my laggings would
<ot protect me, and presently I found
nyself back at the cainp. There, at. j
east, they could not reach me without
rlirablng up. The ground was perfect
y black with them. Poor Manuel was
fown on his knees and the great insects
srere all oyer him. He seemed crazy,
md I have no doubt his nunc, vvasneary
gone with terror and the-pain of the -u
rites. n
l could barely keep the tarantulas v
'rom getting above my leggings. Sad- j
Jenly it occurred to me that I might
Ind safety in one of the trees. 1 knew
.hat I would soon be exhausted if I
-oi-v-iiir-.fi/-i ininnnr f he hlnclr honsta f-inrl i 1
that would end it. In a moment I had f
iv arms about a small tree. I crushed t
ihe insects that clung to my legs !
against the bark ns i dragged and c
scrambled up. A dozen feet from the 1
ground there was a branch from which i
ivc had hung sotnp small game I had I
shot. J pulled myself up on to this r
branch and gnt the first moment's rest t
I had had since the tarantulas first ap- ?
peared. I had had ho timo to think be- t
tnrf rhi<< hnt. nnvr I heiran to realize '
what had happened. It seemed more ?
like a nightmare than anything real. 1
I looked and almost fell off my branch 1
at the horrid sight below. My Indian (
was now fairly on the ground." I could 1
not see him for the poisonous things f
that covered him, but the irregular i
black mass wriggled and squirmed ;
like a wounded snake, and I knew he '
was not yet out of his agony. On every i
side were more tarantulas hungrily ]
searching for more victims. Their
crushed fellows were almost torn to ;
pieces so fierce were they in their hun- i
ger. They were all enormous; some of
them were as big as turtles, and when
the sun struck them I could see the red
line that distinguished them from the
ion-gregarious speciesthat arefamili;;r
n oiherp They era ?vleu over onemother
in their desire to find somehiug
into which to sink their fangs,
.'oor Manuel's writhing body was the
objective point of most of them. They
ougat Lierceiy ior a spot 01 nesii where
;hey could strike, and every movement
>f the still living man seemed to make
hem yet more fierce.
It did not take me as long to notice
dl this as it does to describe it, and I
icon saw that I was not yet safe from
he horrible fate that had overtaken
ny guide.
The insects began to crawl up the
;rees, though not in any considerable
lumbers at first. I brushed them
lown with a small branch, aud tho*e
,h?it. u-prp hnrf-. nt all wprc immwHatelv
et upon by their fellows.
My recital of these things may seem
ame, but I have no pen to describe the
iwful horror of it all. There were
ibout two hours o. daylight left me. i
mew this and I wondered what I could
lo in the dark. Then I remembered
eadiug that snakes or centipedes would
lot cross a hair rope, and 1 thought
hat perhaps the same rule might ap)ly
to tarantulas.
The game was swinging from the
iranch by a horsehair riata and it took
ae a very few minutes to cut the rabtits
loose and wind the rope about the
runk just below me. Pretty soon
uore of the big spiders came up. Man
lei was quiet now at last, and tiiQv i
van ted another victim.
My hair rope did some good. They
ould not swarm over il in such numbers
that I could not sweep them back;
rith my branch. Ho-w long 1 stayed
here fighting the insects back I do not
:now.
But the light was fading when I noiced
a commotion among the tarantu33.
At the same time I observed a
minber of blue-black wasps darting
boufc. I recognized them as helongng
to the hymenoptera family, and
eaiized that they were the tarantula
~ C U V 1 J T ~

ninntes the four or five wasps had beome
hundreds, and live minutes later
here was not a tarantula to be seen,
xcept the numerous dead ones at the
act of the tree.
Manuel's body, swollen and diseolord
by the venom of the spiders, stared !
p at me. I waited an hour and then |
amc down.
It took me eight days to roach Neva-1
a and on the way I did not see a sin- j
ie tarantula. " j
