Jiuinorous Jlrpartmrnt. No Safe Place. When M. Trent decided to buy a home In the south In which he and his family could spend the spring months, during which they had fotind New England winds and weather to be trying, he took a journey of investigation. Mr. Trent was accustomed to be 1 treated as If his society was eml- ' nently desirable, and it was, therefore. with a friendly and engaging smile 1 that he addressed a melancholy per-1" son who was lounging on the piazza 11 I r of the hotel at his first southern v stopping place. "I'm thinking of buying a place ^ down here," said Mr. Trent, in a * half-confidential tone. "Now, what " part of the coutry would you par- a ticularly recommend? The landlord 8 tells me you've lived south for many 1 years." "Yes, I've lived south a long spell," * admitted the melancholy man, c "though I was raised north, and I'm ? willing to say right here and now ^ that you couldn't find a more favor- e able nor a lovelier spot In this whole f state, sir, than this very town. I have lived here for five years, and if I'd had anything like a fair show I j shoulri have enjoyed every minute s of the time." i "You haven't had a fair show?" r asked the New Bnglander. t "No," said the melancholy one: "This r is a lovely spot, and if I'd had a v fair show I'd have enjoyed It; but ^ the first year I had fever and ague, v and the next year I was bit by a * shark, and the third year I had an 1 awful fight with a snake, that shook c up my nerves, and last year?" "I doubt if I should like this lo- ^ callty," said the New Englander, I briskly. c The melancholy man looked at c him with a mild astonishment. a "Why, you know It's pretty dan- * gerous living anywhere, stranger," * he said slowly. "If that's what * you're thinking about."?Youth's c Companion. c Rough on the Horse. While General Butler was stationed * outside of Petersburg the following Incident is said to have occurred: Shortly before noon a soldier informed the general that his favorite " horse had been killed by falling into a ravine. Butler directed an Irishman to where the horse lay, and ordered him to bring back the skin. "What, dead?" asked Pat, with a ? look of surprise. "What's that to you? Do as I bid you, and ask no questions," returned the general. The Irishman wen1: about his business, and toward night returned. As he entered camp Butler exclaimed: "Well, Pat, where have you been all 1 this time?" "Skinning yer horse, yer honor." "Does it take half a day to perform such an operation?" growled the gen- 1 eral. "No, your honor; but then, yer see. it tuck about two hours to ketch the critter." "Catch him!" roared the general. 1 "Was he alive!" "Yes, yer honor: and yer don't s'poee I could skin him 'live, do ( yer?" * "Skin him alive? What! did you 1 kin mm : "To be sure I did. You said I must obey orders without asking any questions." General Butler eyed his servant with such a malicious look that Pat thought he meditated skinning an Irishman in revenge for the death of hts horse.?Chicago Inter-Ocean. Swbet-Faced Susan.?Day was trembling on the edge of night. The sun had dropped behind the hills and splashed the sky with red. For two hours Susan and Henry had been talking. Gentle reader do you know what . they were talking about? No? Suffice it to say, whatever it was, an amicable conclusion had been reached. Susan was sweetfacM and tender, and the amethystine tints of the evening touched her face softly and the fading light < threw a halo about her head. Yet she . was no spring chicken. But what , odds? I Henry had passed all the years of j his bachelorhood in a boarding house, , and couldn't have told spring chicken . from old hen tc save half his salary. , He folded her to his throbbing bo- ( som and then slowly unfolded her. "We shall be so happy," he whisper- ( ed. { "Yes. Henry." was her murmured ( response, "and so harmonious. What- < ever you say I shall believe, now, , henceforth and forever." "I can never be such a husband as i you deserve, Susan," he almost sighed. ( "No, Henry," she cried, "I suppose . not; but at my time of life I can't ] afford to be too particular. Come in j and have some suDDer." t And Henry went in. 1 Wasn't Certain of Her Name.?She was from Seattle. After inscribing her name on a hotel register she asked the clerk if any mail had come addressed to her. The name she wrote on the register was simply "Mrs, T. Brown, Seattle." "I don't suppose by any chance that this is intended for you, is it?" ( inquired the clerk, handing her a letter addressed, "Mrs. T. B. Browne." , "Yes, that is mine," said the demure guest. "I recognize the handwriting." t "But the name is spelled differently." pointed out the cautious clerk. "You spell your name 'B-r-o-w-n,' and the name on the letter has a , final 'e.' " She got all fussed up about it and t blushed radiantly. "You see," she explained. "I am not quite sure how he spells it." "Who?" , "My husband.

It is not certain what part Govern- | r Moore took in the military expeition which resulted in the battle of 'lint river. The probability is that e knew nothing about it until after ; was ended. One of the charges rought against the governor, by a espectable number of the most wor ly inhabitants of the colony, was his ' arbarous treatment of the Indians. ' Whether Governor Moore introduced 1 lto the colony the traffic of Indians ' r not, ore thing is certain, he prac ced it to an extent and in a manner ' nprecedented in the history, it would ' eem, of any of the colonies in Amer- J a. Before his time, Indians captur- J d in war were reduced to slavery, 1 nd in some instances they were sent I ff and sold into bondage. In some 1 istances victorious tribes brought ' hose whom they had captured from ( he enemies, and -sold them to the * olonists for a trifle. Governor ' loore, however, instituted a new 1 ystem of reducing the Indian tribes; 1 r rather, he adopted a plan for se- 1 urlng slaves, different from any 1 eretofore practiced in the colony, ie sent out parties to capture In- 1 ians. The object was to secure slaves or his own use. Tne inaians irom hom he was most solicitous to make aptives and thus reduce them to ondage, were friends of the Span- 1 irds and consequently, the enemies 1 f the English. The Appalachees ere the a'lies of the Spanish and the 'reeks of tr.e English. This being 1 he case, the two tribes were hostile o each other. Governor Moore sent ut a party of his minions under 1 he direction of Anthony Dodsworth nd Robert MacKoone, to capture, or the purpose of making slaves of hem as many Appalachees as they ould. In this vile work, they were sslsted by the Creeks. This band of kidnappers had made heir way on one of their scouting exeditions out of the present limits of he state, when they were apprised f the approach of nine hundred Aplalachees under the direction of the >paniards, to make an attack upon he colony at Charles Town. Such ieing the facts in the case, we are prepared to say that, bad as the Spaniwrc thpv sometimes were not irholly In the wrong-. No one can ensure the Spaniards for defending heir allies. This Indian traffic of Governor Joore is the worse feature of his listory. No palliation can be offered or it. All the best men of the colny, af the time, declared it was "unust and barbarous in itself, and will n all probability draw upon us an ndian war with all the dreadful con[uences of it." The Pretext of a War. The attempted invasion of the colny by the Spaniards and Appaachees, in the early part of 1702, an not be offered as even a pretext or the expedition against St. AugusIne in the latter part of the same ear. Neither can it be said that it ;rew out of the fact that war had ieen declared by the English govrnment against Spain. The fact is, I was an expedition planned by ames Moore and undertaken by him or the sole purpose of plunder. Neither the advancement of the Engish government nor the prosperity of he colony in South Carolina were onsulted. The Spanish of St. Augusine had never, it Is true, respected ,ny treaties of peace entered into beween the home government and that f England; and besides, being the Irst to make an attack upon the colny at Charles Town, and had ever .Cieil me pari or uepreuuiurs upuu he colony and inflamers of the worst tassions of the Indians against it; iut the expedition planned and unlertaken by Governor Moore against it. Augustine, was in no sense a stratgical movement to avenge these rrongs. The impression was made ipon the minds of the assembly that he object of the expedition was to naintain the security of the colony, t had been discovered that St. Au;ustine was in such a condition as o render it probable that it could be aken with comparative ease. Tricky and Unscrupulous. The people were greatly incensed t Governor Moore on account of the rianner In which the election of 1701 lad been conducted. In order to lecloud their minds and thus screen lis fraudulent conduct from an inestigation; and at the same time opiressed with debts, and withal of an variolous disposition, his fertile brain levised an expedition against St. Au:ustine. Although the matter was debated n low tones and with closed doors, t was not kept a secret from the ipaniards. They sent to Havana for id, and in the meantime busily employed themselves in removing to the astle all that was valuable In the own. In this stronghold they stored way a sufficient amount of food for our months. The assembly in order to meet the xpenses of the war, levied a tax of wo thousand pounds?about ten housand dollars?on real and peronal estates, and of and from the iroflts ami the revenues of the innaDianls. The ships in the harbor were eized for the purpose of conveying he troops. Port Royal was fixed ipon as the place of general rendezous. An army of twelve thousand nen was collected, one half of whom rere Indians. At first Col. Robert )aniel was made commander-in-chief f the expedition; but for some reason his order was changed, and Governor i loo re was assigned to this post of lonor and Col. Daniel made second n command. Col. Daniel entered into he affair with all his soul and was a < rave man and skillful officer. In September, 1702, the troops asembled at Port Royal, and the final rrangements were made for the rand expedition. Col. Daniel with part of the troops, took the inland oute, whilst Governor Moore, with he remainder, proceeded by sea. i )n his way, Daniel took the two j panish villages, St. John's and St. i lary's. On arriving at St. Augus- I Ine, he boldly attacked the town and ! ook it. This was comparatively an < asy task, for the inhabitants imme- | JTR CAROLINA. = gati and A \ ment to the Close ot the >lUt!011. con mir 7 LATIIAN, I>. X>. the shl] gag hav , son fliately retired to the casle. Governor acc Moore had not as yet arrived; but hlrr coming up the next day, commenced ?,a} without delay, a vigorous seige of the castle. This fort was at that time, Stri perhaps one of the strongest fortlflcations in North America. Oldest American Town. iabi St. Augustine is the oldest town in . Q6V Korth America, having been laid out ^ t>y the Spaniards in the latter part of ^ the year 1565. Consequently at the time of the expedition, it had been built one hundred and thirty-seven t^e, pears. The Spaniards had two objects ^ In fortifying it with some care. The A defending of St. Augustine was equivalent to maintaining their claim to ? Florida: and further the town served , . levi as a kind of light-house to the fleets . passing through the gulf of Mexico and along the coast of Florida. The t ' castle was a square fort constructed of soft stone with four bastions. The curtain was about sixty yards in g length; the parapet nine feet thick: the rampart twenty feet high, case- ^ mented underneath for lodgings and . 16IT arched over. The town itself was ove not fortified. The castle was depended upon almost entirely in case ( of an attack. At the time of which . . lori we are speaking, St. Augustine was a ( kind of military post. In the town a . number of regular troops were sta- q ' tloned by the Spanish government, and the citizens were all registered ern and enrolled as a kind of militia. . They received soldiers' pay and de- cja| pended entirely upon this pay for a agg( support. Most of the inhabitants were mulattoes, and were a lazy, trifling set, who were ready at any time to engage in any plundering ex- th pedltlon that might be gotten up. ro They engaged In no kind of doj trade, nor even in agriculture; but ber whenever the pay granted them by the Spanish government was Inyuffl- w ] cient to meet their wants, they supem plied the deficit by plundering their neighbors. This accounts for the fact nQ that they had no regard for any . treaties which might be entered into jn , between the Spanish and any other jn government. - Before 8t. Augustine. So soon as Governor Moore landed enc his troops he commenced entrench- cor ing himself. The town was wholly sha In his hands; but from the fact that (ja> his artillery was light, he made but ^ little progress in getting possession of by the castle. After the siege had lasted rua about a month, Governor Moore discovered that, with his present ord- wa, nance It would be impossible for him faj{ to get possession of the stronghold. cor With this conviction firmly establish- ^ra ed In his mind he started an agent ph to Jamaica for bombs and heavier har artillery than he had. This agent, an(: for reasons not well known, did not go to Jamaica, but returned, to Ge< Charles Town. It is very provable tjv that the individual sent on this buyi- t;e, ness did not enter fully into the spirit of the governor with respect to Gai the expedition. Oldmlxom says the pe] reason the commander of the sloop, the which was to bring the mortars and re8 bombs from Jamaica, returned to ag( Carolina, was "out of fear of treach- hoi ery." apt Growing impatient. Col. Daniel vol- rj^ unteered to go to Jamaica after the thi: desired ordnance. During his ab- a sence, two small Spanish vessels ap- car peared in sight, and Governor Moore pe| became panic-stricken. One of the hy vessels had twenty-two guns and the beg other sixteen. The valiant Governor err Moore never waited one moment to on] prepare for either further attack or bus defence. He immediately burnt his snips, ana nasienea wnn an pusaiuic speed, to return to Carolina. Sometime after, Col Daniel returned from Y( Jamaica with ordnance and shells, and found to his utter astonishment, that the siege was raised and Govern- 1 or Moore gone. Col. Daniel narrowly -?-1 escaped being captured. Fortunately for him he fell in with Admiral FTP Whetstone, by whom he was convoyed _J_ into Charles Town. Thus ended the military part of the expedition against St. Augustine. The W town was burned, but the inhabitants were not captured; and the reputation of Governor Moore, as a military T man, was not established. He so con- 'ar< ducted himself as to to be charged by many, as imbecile and cowardly. age His retreat was so precipitate at first woi as to resemble a rout. The vessels which had conveyed the troops that were under the command of Col. Re| Daniel were left at St. John's. So soon rea< as the two Spanish ships appeared in sight. Governor Moore made for these with all possible speed, leaving all his artillery and stores to fall Into the hands of the Spaniards. Arratomakaw, king of one of the Indian tribes, ^5? commanded the Indian forces. As ^ soon as he arrived at one of the ves- ^ sels, he determined to rest. Governor Moore was still uneasy, and urged x Arratomakaw to hasten up his J braves and make good his escape. ? The brave chief told him he might go if he saw fit; but as for himself, he * was determined to remain at that E point until his men had arrived. ? Expedition a Failure. ? Very little blood was shed in this ? expedition. Only two men were lost; * but it cost the colony an enormous ? sum of money. No one except Gov ernor Moore derived any advantage ? from the expedition against St. Au- J gustlne. and it cost the colony the ? nn/VM*vt<M?o Clim t\f thlrfv f VlAllUUlul ? dollars, and filled the minds of the m people with bitter animosities. jj The headquarters of Governor ? Moore whilst conducting the siege J was the Roman Catholic church, m This, as is always the case with such churches, was richly furnished. Has- ? ty and precipitate as was the retreat of Moore, he did not neglect to strip ? the church of all its plate. In this consisted his gain. Arriving at ? Charles Town, he felt that he was at J least a richer man than he was when m he left. To some extent he felt that this plate compensated him for his ? inglorious campaign of a few months. During the time Governor Moore jg had gone on his St. Augustine expedl- 4 tion, the assembly was prorogued. 4 Soon after his return it was convened, ? and ways and means devised for pay- J Ing the expenses of the expedition. ^ Strange as it may seem, the people, ^ either because they felt that their ? ?overnor had disgraced them or be se war actually existed between jland and Spain, desired to engage another expedition for the subjuon of St. Augustine, Pensacola other strongholds of the Spanish, 'essel was, by the assembly, offerto Col. Daniel that he might scour coast of Florida. So zealous were members of the assembly, thai imunlcation was held with Adal Whetstone, informing him thai colony would furnish an English ;> with provisions if it would ene in the same work. Col.
