"ALL AMONG THE BARLEY.” It seems so short a time Since dull December‘s sun Set o‘er these hedges wet with rime, And furrows purple dun, Since empty fields were dark and drear Beneath ye waning of ye year. Green corn, how fast you grew! Spring sun, how bright you shone! Deep wondering heart, how soon you knew What secret was your own! Soft winds, how sweet your serenades Rang through ye ripening barley blades! Oh, what a golden glow Fills all these fields tO-night! The while with eager steps I go In yellow western light. Herewhere ye barley lies in swath, On either side ye stubble path. Along the seaward slope I take the olde way; A little tender new rn hope Sprang in my heart today. Who knows? To—morrow I may bring New carols to my harvesting! ‘ -—M. C. Gillington. TWO SCOUTS REVENGED. From Fort Abraham Lincoln to Fort Sully, . both on the upper Missouri river, is a bee line of 160 miles, but the distance as a rider has to make it is fully 200. It is on record that the first dispatch passing between those posts was carried in my pocket, and that at a time when hostile Indians al- most besieged both forts. It was on this ride, and about forty miles above Sully, that a strange incident occurred. From Fort Union to Yankton, a. distance of 600 miles, the Missouri runs along a chain of moun- tains on the east, while on the west side there is scarcely a hill to be found. While the route down the east bank is naturally more difficult, it is also more sheltered, and that was the route I took on the occasion I refer- red to. While there were plenty of Indians in the mountains and mountain valleys, there were more of them on the plains, and my journey was considered such a forlorn hope that wagers were made at Fort Lincoln that I would never be heard of again. I had a mustang which had traveled over more of the country than any man living, and in all matters pertaining to frontier life he was as well posted as four men out of five. Armed with a Winchester and revolver, and rather proud to have been the one selected out of five scouts to make the trip, I left Fort Lincoln just at dusk one evening in July and proceeded five miles down the river before crossing over. A reconnoissance in force a day or two before had driven the hostiles back, but I might count on finding them within seven or eight miles. I had scarcely forded the river, when a mule, which had evidently been in hiding in a thicket near by, came forward with a low whinny and ap- peared greatly pleased to see us. A brief in- spection proved that ne belonged to a scout named Abner Johnson, who had been dis- patched from Fort Lincoln to Fort Ransome, 150 miles to the east, ten or twelve days be fore. The saddle was in place, blanket, coffee pot and other articles secured as usual, and the bridle was intact. I was satisfied that Johnson had been shot from the saddle. Nothing could have induced the mule to run away from him while alive. The animal, as I figured it, was making for the fort and was about fording the stream when the noise of our passage alarmed him and he hid himself to see whether it was friend or enemy. I sought to drive him into the water and on his way, but he was determined to accompany me, and, after finding him obstinate, Islipped the iron bit out of his mouth, that he might snatch at the grass, and rode off, with him a close follower. Between the river and the foothills there was a level varying in width from 50 to 500 feet. This was grown to grass. Along the bank of the stream, with hardly a break for miles and miles, was a line of trees and bushes. The foothills were covered with scrub growth, and between them and the base of the range there was fair traveling and good cover. At every mile or two there were breaks in the foothills by which one could a turn in from the level. I did not intend to % travel far that night, the main object being _ to get beyond the hostile lines and take an 1, early start next morning. Up to the time of ' crossing the river my mustang‘s feet had been muffled with oat sacks, so that he could leave _ no trail. There had been no rain for two or three weeks, and no living Indian could have i. traced me. Once across the stream I removed ,_ the bags. I should leave a plain trail, but 1 must thereafter trust to luck and my own ; sagacity. It was a. starlight night, and as ] z», rode forward I routed up a deer or other 5 wild game every fifty rods. This satisfied , 3 me that no Indians were near, and I contin- ued my ride until midnight. By this time I was at least twenty miles below the fort, and . I went into camp to wait for daylight. GO- 1 ing into camp consisted Of unsaddling the two animals, roiling myself in a blanket and I plumping down at the roots of a cottonwood. I was asleep in five minutes, and when I opened my eyes it was daylight. The animals were close at hand, and each . had his nose in the air and was scenting likea dog. I was hardly on my feet before I smelled g fire. There was a light breeze blowing up the valley, and the camp fire was below me, or in the direction I proposed to go. I moved into the belt of timber and began to crawl forward for an observation, and after going about a quarter of a mile I saw the smoke. I waited five minutes before advancing nearer, but seeing no movement I crept forward. I saw the body of a. white man lying on the ground under the trees. I knew it was by the dress, and now, thinking I had come upon a gov- ernment scout or some white hunter, I rose , up and advanced into the camp. No man ver made a more appalling discovery. It vas the body of Abner Johnson, dead and i l orribly mutilated, and between him and the g iver, a distance of twenty feet, lay the dead oodles of nine Indian warriors. While a _lance sufficed to prove that they were dead, I t took me some time to satisfy myself as to he cause. I finally found a stone bottle, I aolding about two quarts, which I remem- . -red to have seen in J ohnson’s possession. 3 It had contained whisky, but was now empty. i he posture of the bodies was proof that -very warrior had died of poison, but I did I iot know until a month that Johnson fixed ,, up the dose before leaving Fort Ransome on 'j- his return. He seemed to have a presentimeni ‘ that he would be captured, and he bought two quarts of whisky and dosed it with ,. trychnine, knowing that it would surely re- engo him. Johnson had evidently been driven out of. ' I is direct course. As I saw by scouting over , he ground he was well in the lead of his nine " cursuers when a chance shot from a. rifle truck him in the right hip and tumbled him rom his saddle. His mule had gone on and he Indians had gone into camp to torture he wounded man. They had cut off his left our, gashedvhis cheeks, severed three or four . - , and inflicted other cruelties when the I ison which they had imbibed in the whisky .-gan to work. There must have beena high Ild time among them for half an hour,during which interval the prisoner probably bled to oath. Johnson’s eyes were wide open, and _ the eyes of the dead can reflect anything : surely reflected exultation. The ponies f the Indians were in a grassy dell aquartor f amile away, and each was hobbled. It .1 NORWALK seemed an awful wicked thing to do, butI approached each one in turn and drove my knife to his heart. Then I gathered up sad- dles and blankets and lariats and flung them into the river. I took the rifles, tomahawks, knives, wampum, and headdresses of the nine warriors and made up a load for the mule, and after covering J ohnson’s body with brush and stones to keep it from vultures, I went forward on my journey, which was completed without a further incident worth mentioning. A couple of years later I was transferred to Fort Davis, in the Guadulupe mountains of Texas, and in the Apache country. A com- mission was sent to the east to locate a post on the Rio Pecos river, and as the country was full of hostiles the party was made pretty strong. There were six scouts, thirty private soldiers, three or four Ofiicers and some seven or eight prospectors and hunters and trappers who wanted to get sight of that country. The distance from the fort to the river is about sixty miles, and all open country, and we were accompanied by two wagons and an ambulance. While we did nOt number over fifty all told, each man was heavily armed and well mounted, and 500 Indians would have hesitated to attack us in the Open. All the scouts were paired off, and the name of , my partner was Calvin. He was a rough and rugged man of 50, and most of his life had been spent in the Indian country. He had had a dozen of close calls, and the scars he could show in proof counted up a. dozen or more. I did not know until we had started on the march that he had prepared any trick against the Indians, who would be sure to menace us, but at our first camp he showed me a canteen of whisky, which he said was poisoned. He had about half a pound of smoking tobacco in a bag, and poison had been mixed with this. While the rest of us hated Indians as bad as Calvin did, no one else had prepared any such weapons. Indeed it was not looked upon as exactly honorable in a white man. . -, We reached the Rio Pecos, opposite Cor- poral’s Peak of the Castile mountains without being annoyed by the Apaches, although we saw numbers of their scouts and had no doubt that a considerable force was hanging on our flanks. We made our camp in a defensive spot, and, after a rest, small parties scouted up and down the river to examine the lay of the country. On the third day Calvin and myself, accompanied by a corporal and two private soldiers, rode up the Pecos about ten miles, crossed over and started to come down on the other side. The ground was more broken on the north side, and we had hardly turned to go down stream when we found the redskins more numerous and far bolder. The soldiers had seven-shooter carbines and Ca1- , yin and I had Winchesters, and we felt no alarm even when we knew the Indians to number fully one hundred. An ambush was the only thing to be dreaded, and we got into one in spite of our vigilance. Two miles be- low where we crossed the river the ground came very rough and was cut up into gullies. This extended from the river back as far as we could see, and we could not flank it. We could have crossed the river here, but our or- ders were to come down on the north bank. Every man knew that if the Indians meant to attack they would do it here, and the first notice would be a volley from one of the blind ravines. In this emergency we strung out in single file, the corporal leading, Calvin next, I third, and the two privates making fourth and fifth. We had not advanced forty rode into the “bad ground,” and had not caught sight of so much as an Indian’s feather, when we received a volley from twenty-five In- dians in a. gulch. They were only 200 feet away, and one would have thought every man of us would have been riddled. On the contrary, however, the last three of us were untouched, and not one of our horses was hit. The corporal and Calvin were both wounded and their horses killed. Simuls taneously with the volley a hundred or more Indians exhibited themselves in front and on our left, shouting and firing. In such an emergency every man acts for himself. The three of us wheeled and retreated as fast as our frightened horses could run, all the time under fire. But as soon as we had cleared the “bad ground” we took shelter in a small grove on the edgeof the stream and prepared for defense. We were charged by sixty or seventy warriors on foot, who perhaps im~ agined us badly frightened, but we pegged away at them so swadily that they broke and took to Cover, leaving six dead menin plain view. This was at 10 o‘clock in the morning, and we did not get another glimpse of an Indian until 4 in the afternoon, when I climbed on. of the trees and saw a. body of them making Off to the mountain. I than made I. scout of the neighborhood, and soon ascertained what had occurred Both Calvin and the corporal had been put to the torture, but they had been amply revenged. The six we had killed lay where they fell, as our fire commanded the spot. We found, in a sort of pocket, covered with bushes and limbs, eleven other dead, every one of whom had died of poison. One was Chief White Bird, a noted warrior, and the others were veteran warriors of his band. The bottle was empty, and the tobac- co bag had been turned wrong side out. Three or four years afterward I met an Apache who was present on that occasion, and he said that White Bird and his chosen few drank the whisky and than smoked their pipes while the others were making the prin- oners ready for torture. The corporal died before they could make ready, and when the warriors began to die of the poison Calvin was soon dispatched by a blow of a torus- hawk. The bodies were badly mutilated, but it was mostly after death. The band lost seventeen to our two, and was so dis~ heartened that it retreated and went into mourning for weeks—New York Sun. He Was an Odd Genius. Professor F. V. Hayden was the founder of the system which developed into the geo- logical survey of the United States. He was a man of great genius and a renowned scholar, but erratic and peculiar. It was not uncommon for strangers to follow him for several blocks, their atten- tion arrested by his bowed figure as he almost ran for a. few stops—then suddenly stopped, with his gray, sharp eyes fixed on the pave— ment—then ran again as if a sudden thought had struck him; then they would inquire. “Who can that poor insane man be?” While Professor Hayden was exploring the land of the Sioux Indians some years ago he once, in his enthusiastic passion for geological research, wandered away from his party; he had loaded himself down with large speci~ mens of mineral, and while tramping slowly along in his absent minded way the Indians captured him. They whooped and yelled at their prize at first, but upon seeing all the “rocks and worthless stones” which the poor man was staggering under, and his composed, abstracted manner, they decided that he was “afflicted with a foolish mind.” They took him without protest on his part, which only confirmed their fears; and after a few hours’ was led to the nearest point of civilization and “turned loose" lest the Great Spirit should punish them for any “harm done the foolish or simple minded.” ,He was daring, fearless and reckless in dan- ger; a most distinguished scientific man, and much beloved by the young men of his sur- vey.——-Pittsburg Dispatch. captivity the old scientist with “his rocks’l’, W GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21889 "PEPPERMINT CULTURE. A BRANCH OF AGRICULTURE PECU- LIAR TO A NEW YORK COUNTY. Raising the Plant as a. Regular Crop—It Pays from $50 to 8100 Per Acre—How the Discovery Made by a. Yankee Ped- dler Has Been Worked Upon. Fifty years agoa Yankee peddler named Burnett included in his rounds the northwest- ern counties of New York. He was from Massachusetts, and, besides carrying the usual stock of goods that the peddlers of that day found a ready and profitable sale for, was always looking out for a speculation or bar- gain in anything in which he could see the promise of a dollar’s profit. On one of his trips into Wayne county he discovered a plant growing wild here and there, which he recognized as peppermint. This was quite common in some parts of Massachusetts, and the farmers there added a few dollars an- nually to their returns by distilling and sell- ing its oil. a plant that grew nearly everywhere, but peppermint had at that time been found nowhere else in the country outside of Massa- setts. Burnett had dealt to some extent in the peppermint oil of Massachusetts, and found it profitable goods, so he went to gath- ering the wild peppermint cf Wayne county and distilling its oil on his own account. This product he sold about the country, and for several seasons he was the only one who thought it worth while to utilize the pep— permint plant of this locality. SENT TO HAMBURG. At last some of the Wayne and Ontario county farmers woke up to the fact that they might as well make a few dollars themselves out of this wild product of their waste places, and began to transfer the plant from its places of spontaneous growth and cultivate it as a regular crop. The plant did well un- der cultivation, but so little general, import- ' ance was attached to it that not mOre than two or three hundred pounds of oil was dis- tilled in any one year. In fact, forty-five years ago not more than 500 pounds Of pep- permint oil were grown in the whole coun- try, the chief supply of the article coming from China and Japan. ~ . In 1844 H. G. Hotchkiss was keeping a. little country store in the village of Phelps, Onta- rio county. In the course of his dealings with the farmers he had taken peppermint Oil in payment for goods furnished them un- til he had on hand a quantity of the product for which he must receive $1,000 to make him even. He resolved to find a Wider mar- ket for the Oil than it had yet known, and if possible to introduce it as a standard product. He placed his stock of oil in tin cans and took a sample of it to New York. N one of the drug dealers would touch it, declaring that it was not pure. Mr. Hotchkiss returned home. Hamburg, Germany, being a great center for the sale and distribution of essential oils, he concluded to try the peppermint oil of Wayne county in that market. Procuring a sufficient number Of the now old fashioned 21-ounce lip mouthed ink bottles, he removed his oil from the tin cans, satisfied himself by inspection that it was as pure as any pepper- mint Oil then made, and placed it in the bot- tles. He sealed the bottles and put on each one this label: Peppermint oil, from Wayne county, New York, U. S. A. Guaranteed pure by H. G. Hotchkiss. He consigned the oil to a firm in Hamburg, naming the sum he should receive for it if it was accepted. Nothing was heard from it for a long time. Then Mr. Hotchkiss re- ceived a draft for the sum he demanded, with an order for another consignment of pepper- mint oil. That was the actual beginning of an entirely new branch of agriculture, not only in this country, but in the world. Mr. Hotchkiss gave up his other business and Went into the growing and distilling of pep~ permint on an extensive scale, and the Wayne county farmers followed his example to such a. degree that 150,000 pounds of peppermint oil is now distilled from their crop in favor- able seasons. HOW IT IS GROWN. The peppermint crop is not one that re- turns a. fancy profit to the farmer, but if he can get $2 a pound for his 011, below which the price seldom, if ever, goes, he realizes a good return. Twenty-five pounds of oil‘ to the acre is the lowest general average of the crop. It is not an uncommon thing for the oil to command 83 a pound, and the price has been as high as $5. [The cultivation of peppermint is simple, but requires a great deal of labor in keeping it free from weeds. The ubiquitous daisy rears its dainty blossom among the pepper- mint :rows, as much at home as it is in the meadows, and the aesthetic golden rod en- riches the mint borders with its color. But while the daisy and the golden rod may be indispensable in my lady’s corsage, their ex- pressed Oil mingling with the pungent juices of the peppermint do not add to the efilcacy of the latter in curing her baby‘s stomach ache. Another weed, unknown in New York state until the lVayne county farmers began to cultivate peppermint, and which is still unknown outside of the peppermint fields, is a perpetual menace to the purity of the farm- er’s product. This is locally known as rag weed, but it is not the old fashioned rag weed that grows everywhere. It looks something like lettuce, and yields of itself an abundance of bitter and pungent oil. It does not re- quire a great deal of this weed, if distilled with the mint, to diminish greatly the value of a farmer’s crop. No new insect post has followed the cultivation of peppermint; un- like almost every other product Of the farm, insects do not interfere with the growth of mint. Keeping the crop free from all weeds - is the principal care that attends its cultiva- tion. A field of peppermint yields two crops. The sets, or parts of old plants, are planted in April and May, in rows two feet apart. They grow to the height of two feet. Any one who had never seen peppermint growing would suppose it was the common Spearmint of the julep and sauce for lamb. If he press a leaf between his fingers, however, the odor of the oil will at oncerevcal the difference. The gathering of the peppermint begins in August. The plants are cut close to the roots with a scythe or a two fingered cradle. They are cured or wilted in the sun like hay for twelve hours, the Oil being expressed more freely with the plants in that condition than when they are fresh. From the roots the next year‘s crop springs. —Lyons (N. Y.) Letter in New York Sun. , Good Bargain. Very few people are entirely satisfactory in all lights and under all conditions.
