(l",-oni fte 1'ltirAlp'~-a Tim;.. ] One N ber most widely known men of >+. time-his nuno boing embalnjqc the heart of an im1 perisball anecdoto--is Captain lartilnr4ott. And yet but little is known of his life. He is the hero of the "coon story." The tradition runs that this story first appeared in a country paper of New York State in about 181G. It was in sub stance as follows: Captain Scott and a party of friends were out hunting. They were scattered through the woods, each hunting separately. One of the party at length came upon a raccoon that was sitting in one of the hi:;hest branches of a very till tree. Hl firei at him and misped. One by one the rest of the party came up alnl fire:.1, each one missing the too remote coon. At length Captain Scott arrive], and was in the act of pulling trigger when the coon looked around the limb and said : "Who are you ?" "1'm Scott." "What Scott ?" "Why Captain Scott." "Are you Ctpt:tin Martin Scott?" "The s-me." "Well, then," Said the cCn, unlitmbering hiuself, "you needn't shoot ; I'll come down." Martin Scott was from his earliest dlays a remarkably fine pistol an:l rilo i >t. Wh1ilo phloing in the field on1e day he receivud a letter, which inclosula imitll his C0111 mission as onsi.: in t'IL Un:te:1 States A: my. Ho h:.d noevat ap plied for this position, mid to tU dLy of his de thi never knew how it came to be tendered to hiin. IIe accepted it, however, and w.1s soon famous throughout th. whole army as the best shot of his (ty. Upon the authority of Colonel R. B. Mar 'y, U. S. A., to whose admirable information I am greatly indehtc l, 1 will give a s.innple of his sh,otin;g. A p1 tying-card, with a :pot :;bjut the size of a dime. was tacked upon a tree seventy-five yrds dist:nt. Captain Scott then took a muzlz.e loading sq'lirrel rifle and proposedl to see how quickly ha c.>:11d loa:l and fire three timos. He began, and in one minute and twenty seconds had loaded andtfired three times. Of course this was very quick work, allowing hardly any time for aiming. The firing was almost instanttneous. When Colonel Marcy went to examine the target he foun. one hole ex.t!y in the centre of the bull's eye. He remaiked, however, th:at the other two shots had missed the t:arget entirely. Captain Scott smiled, called for an axe, split the log and found the three balls inbedded in the single hole. These shots wvere all off-hand. Col<mel Marcy says that lhe hias seen ofilers who v'ouched for the truth of the followving, hav. ing seen Captain Scott do it. He would take two potatoes, and throw ing themi into the air successively would put a pistol-ball through~ both of them as they ".-ossed in the air, one going up and one coming down. A DUEL WITH A DEAD SHOT. The first duel in which Cap tain Scott was engaged was under the following circumstances. He was stationed on the frontier, at a military post of Council B3luff. The officers were, the most of them, fond of a social glass and addicted to card-playing, and they considered a man whIo abstained entirely from like indulgences as wanting in the' proper spirit. Captain Scott never drank a glass of liquor and never pla.yed a game of cards, and while' he was ver y liberal in his intercourt e With his brother officers was exceed ingly parsimonious in his own per-- j sarnal expenses. The officers around him took umbrago at this, and gr'ad ually withdrew from all ntercourse with him, itntil he was abso lutely put into coventry by all saveL three of his associates in-arms. H e submitted for a long time to 'the1 (npults and persecutions, and then held a council gf war with his three friends to determiad as to what W4s best 'to be dosne, They inforned bithsa only two' altei-nativst' tion became known throughout the post. His skill as a marksman and his UndOlibted nerve protected him for a good while, no one caring to needlesssly risk an encounter with him. At longth, however, an officer from a neighboring post, who was a celebrated shot and had brought down his man in some half,dozen duels. was sent for. He cane over ani on his arrival took the first op portunity to insult Captain Scott. The insult was given at mess--table, and a challenge ilmnnediately follow ed. In tolling of the duel afterward, Captain Scott said he went to the ground considerably agitated. Being utterly opposed to dueling he had determined to throw away his fire. Just about that time lie accidentally overheard his antagonist say that he had a very disagreeable job on hand that moruing, viz.: the "shooting of a d-d Yankee." This raised Captain Scott's indignation, and he determiiod from that moment to punish his opponent. When the word was given the men fired to.. gether. Captain Scott received a slight flesh wound and sent a ball whizzing through his opponent's lungs. It is mentioned as a curious faet that this shot saved the man's life. lie had the consumption be foro the duel, and recovered after ward-it being said that the wound he received stopped the course of the diseaso. I hesitate, however, to recommend this as an inevitable cure fur the consumption. It is a remed', however, that is apt to either cure or kill. ALMOST LAUGHED INTO A DUEL. Captain Scott came very near havi!ig another duel on the most ridiculons grounds. He was a great 1)ortainan, and a perfect stickler for all the technicalities of sporting lore. Ho would get into a passion at hearing; any one call a line of goese ".a flock" of geese, or a bevy of qu:;l4 "a brood" of qu.tils. On one occasion he organized a grand hunt. Thme g:ne wvas jackass rabbits. A gre:at in my visiting officers were present, and Scott had taken great prido in having the hunt conducted on the strictest principles. He had rehearsed the home officers and had instructed thomn that when a rabbit rain from cover they should all give the viewaihallo, "Tally-ho 1" Amnon~ the oflicers was a Captain B--.n, who was an inevitable practical jokor. The hounds were unloosened :an,l taken into the wo'ods and soon openou musically. Every man at his post in tiptoe anxiety to catch the flrst glimpse of the expected game. Suddenly, near the stand of (J.ipt B--n, out bounded an cnormous mule with twenty dogs in full cry at her heels. In this criti c:l moment, Captain B--n roared at the top of his voice, "Sally, whoa I Sally, whoa 1 Sally, whoa 1" The ridiculous cry was taken up, and the whole field burst into uncontrollable laughter. Captain Scott was ..vio lently enraged, and it took all the friends of the parties could do to prevent his calling tie -practical joker out. Captain Scott was after4 wvard killed while leading his com~ mnand forward in a most desperate battle of the Mexican wvar.
