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

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

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.

The Truth About St. John. fi
1 lie tri.th iH coming out about St
John which disproves the aspersions so
seilulously cast upon him by the Republicans.
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 ? - ? *

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

Out of the Jaws of Death
The gentleman who outlines his caae below
la a man considerably advanced in life, and ta
noted for hla sterling Integrity. Ills post-oftlce
la Yatesvillo, Upson County, Georrta. The following
la
Mr. John Pearson s Statement.
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.
