The Daring Iiifc ami Trajclf? llcnlli ?>f Col. Jame? Buwiet.Crockiat, Travis &?d Other HeroesM'h?ft'll in the ""T General Butchery. There has lately boon going lli" rounds of the press, a paragraph to the eflfcct that ono of the curiosities exhibited at the New Orleans Imposition wan a knife which litul once belonged to Colonel James Bowie, who was one of tho noted characters of the Southwes*. during the first' qu?i*or of the preset!' century. As a duelist and gambler he was without u peer. lie was the inventor of u knife which bears his nam-* and which he used with terrible effect in many of his ferocious encounters. On one occasion, having been cbal longed, he stipulated that the figh" should take place at midnight in a dark. enod room. The combaiunts entered . and the door was locked, the seconds and surgeons remained on the outside. With painful interests they listened for tho Hght to begin. All was silent saw the Rounds of fl?<>t mnvinv lifnnllli'il ? over the floor and an occasional tuo?n as of some one in pain. In n few minutes one of the men was heard to Ml, anil n voice from within cried out "come ill." Upon entering the room, the attendants found Howie lying in a pool of blood, almost cut to pieces, but still breathing. He recovered. The otli-?r tuimi died in a few hours. Another time he fought his oppotivn' florfiSR A Intr nnnli urifh ?n ?? !?? ?:"?1 GJ V?W" " ,V'1 M" Wl 1,1 UCM to his back. An before, the terrible knife was the weapon used. Howie was badly cut abont the licnd an<t body, llis antagonist was killed on the spot. Col. Bowie was a very sinol! man, b?s weight at no time exceeded 110 pounds*. When not excited he was as gentle and as tender heaited as a woman. He invariably took the side of the weak against the strong. Entering a strge coach one day, he found that the only other occupants were a man and a woman. Colonel Bowie drew a newspaper from his pocket and began to re?d. The other male passenger lighted n cigar and began smoking it. In a few minutes tho lady requested the gentleman to stop smoking, saying it made her head ache. The man paid no attention to the request. Colonel Bowiv, who had observed what had taken place, folded up his paper and replaced it :u his pocket. He then drew a murden-us looking knife from its sheath at his side* and addressing liis male compamor, said: "I am Colonel James Howie. You may know me. You have heard the lady's request. I will give you five minutes to throw that cigar out of the "window. If vou don't do it. you must take the consequences.'' The name was enough. The fellow surrendered unconditionally. The cigar disappeared through the window and the uian through the door, glad to .getaway from bo dangerous co.npanv .jvith a whole skin. Colonel Bowie's death was as heroic ras his life had been lawless and daring. When the war of Texas independence broke out he joined the patriots and became one of their ablest leaders. Retreating with 18o men before an overwhelming force of Mexicans, commanded by General Santa Anna, he made hi* way to San Antonio de Bexer, and took up a position behind the walls of the Alamo, a fort of considerable strength, and which cammnnded the city. The Mexicans 5.<X>0 strong, laid siege to the place, constructed batteries, and began to ply away against the fort, whiK* masses of infantry rushed forward to Hcalti the wall. Many a daring feat was performed by Bowie and his men. who. surrounded on all sides, neither thought of capitulating or asking for quarter in onv Such was the extent of the fort llmt it required the incessant vigilance of all the besieged at the different poin'.s of attack. The day of the night on which the Alamo fell was one of incessant lighting. The night was dark and the exhausted patriots sought to obtain a few hours sleep. ,4The Mexicans are upon the wall !" were the sturtling words which causcd every Texan to ^pring to his feet and grasp his riflv. 4'he enemy were either pitched from the wall or put to death hy the Howie knife or bayonet. At last the Mexicans rushed forward and surrounded the paAn ??11 ' * * ' u,u? mi niuvn, UIIU Ctll llll'lll t(> 4?<jccs. Not n man escaped. On the night of the attack, Colonel ^lowie was confined to his room by sickness. When the Mexicans broke over the wall, some of them rushed to his apartment. He was up in time to take his stand at the door, and with hi* Jcrriblo knife he for some time kept tinrfnemy at bay. When his mighiy arm grew tired with the work of death, he fell upon the henps of the slain which he had piled up around him, and was instantly hacked and stabbed to death. Colonel Bowie's second in command at the massacre, of the Alamo, was Col-" onel David Crockett, many of whose quaint sayings are household words in mis country. Ait a hunter and backwoodsman he had no equal. He served one term in Congross* and was a candidate for re-election, but was defeated. Jle then emigrated to Texas and joined the patriotic army. Ho escaped from the massacre of Colonel Fannin's com *. - . / '*- . ~\y .V - ' * . ''V '7 . " mand, and reported to Colonel ltowio for orders. He was with the littln army during the retreat to San Antonio, and tc with it entered the Alamo, which be- w enme the grave of the entire command. ff The only persons in the fort who ex- (j caped, were a servant woman and her .? child, which was afterwards adopted by the Republic of Texrfs and educated at .4, tho public cost. That Crockett fell when the Mexicans rushed over, the ? wall is all that is known ; by whom or () how no one whs left to tell, llut the imagination can well picture him hurling whole squadrons from tho wall, or ? heaping up pyramids of the slain when the struggle was most desperate. H Another noted duelist. Colonel Travis, who was admitted to be the best pistol shot in '.he United States, also fell at |, the massacre of tho Alumo. but how he met his fate is unknown. His body , was found under a heap of Mexican lead, showing that ho had lought with a desperate courage until overpowered by ? numbers. Next day the bodies of the j, fallen patriots were collected and reduced to ashes. j: This wholesale butchery sent ? thrill ? o<" horror throughout Texas. (><Mt<>ral Sam Houston issued a stirring call for ? volunteer?. lie took the Held at the w head of a small but gallant army Santa Anno, with a greatly superior ? force, marched against the patriots. Houston retreated to Sun .Jacinto, where M he determined to make a stand. The S1 two armies met, and victory do- ? chired for the Texans. Santa Anna n lost a leg and was taken prisoner. This battle ended the war and secured the n independence of Texas. <'on8il Mack<>y In Jail. ?

General Logan, with the blunt shamelessness that belongs to a politician of such limited sensibility, admits the Republicans were willing to buy the Prohibition candidate. Clarkson, the Iowa mcnibi-r of the Republican National Committee, makes a similar admission* asserting that an attempt was made to induce St. .John to betray his political trust for a money consideration. The facts of the case will in time be established in spite of the falsehoods to which the Republicans' managers resorted in their effort to make it appear that St. .J(>hn offered to sell out, and when the}* are established it will be as ?o ? - ? * im UK- run ill IMMIIIUaV, I It ill III*' managers of the **tJod hiiiI morality party" endeavored by n corrupt influence, In induce him to be try his party, and that the Prohibition candidate reji'cU'd their dishonest proposition with honest scorn. During this controversy that arose after the election on t'le charge made nl that St. John wanted to huckster during ^ the campaign, those who understood the desperate charactor of the Blaine man- n agors and their utter abandonment of 0I everything like principle, were tnoroug- el ly convinced that they had made cor- C rupt offers to the head of the I'rohibi- *' tion ticket, and that when they charged St. John with wanting to 8?U oat they gl weh) lying. 8 J Humorous. % A Slow Boy.?The GermaD school >acher is very poorly paid for his oaris^me work of imparting wisdom > hi-* pupils; if m*ny of his pupil* arc ko ?h;?

In the Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse nntll Fall, when I got to weak that I could not Rnt about. I tried a great many &iiiu.i ui meuicine, diii conumiea lo grow worse. I was notified that I had eonanmptlon, and would probably die. Dr. llolloway finally told mo to try Brewer's Lung Restorer. They sent to Wanfs Store and got a bottle, and I commenced taking !t right ,away After taking two or throe doMA. I began to Improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to pet on my feet again. I am now In excellent health. I am confident that tho Lung Restorer saved my life, and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the Lest Long Remedy ever made, in my opinion. Dr. H. promised me that he would wiite to the manufacturers and tell them of the wonderful cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr.Benj.F.Hearndon: Early in November, IflSl, while sewing on tho machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hdmorrhaees from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever commenced, she could neitlier eat nor ! sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending physician told me that ho thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on iter stomach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. llolloway in consultation. They made a final examination of thn natlnnt anil pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. llolloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort. I went for a bottle, and save her a doso. I f?nnd that she could retain li on her atomaeh, and after about the third dose I beean to notice some Improvement In her condition. I oont inucd tlio medicine regularly, and by the tlmesho lind taken two bottles bIio was able to walk about the house. -Mie Is now In better health than she has enjoyed for several yoars. I believe the Lung ltestor??r savrd hrr life, i Mr. lloarndon's poet-office Is Ynti*vllle. TTpson County, Oa. lie Is a thoroughly reliable man In every particular.
