THE DOUBLE DANGER.
Among the early geulem ot Wood
stock, a beautiful town in the Green
Moan tain St Ate, was man by the
name of Silas Sloer, who liad left bis
early home near the s j i, and folio

In the wildfrtet", wla're he erected
cabin, and tutn commenced an on
slaught t'pon the gian t of the forest
that reared their Luna in stately
grandeur about Lira, but gave way
beneath his relentless strokes, and
in a couple of Tears he had quite an
open space encircling his cabin. Dur
ing this time he had lived alone, bat
when the second autumn came anoth

old home by the ses, and when he

inree years came and went, and
the clearing had greatly enlarged its
Doracrs, aunouea no aim but his own
labored within its bounds. The trees
that at first came close up to the
cabin, bad now retreated to a respect
able distance, and the ground they
had once occupied was now usurped
by flourishing crops that cheered the
settler and encouraged him to still
greater exertions.
The three years spent in the forest
by the young conple had been those
of pesce and contentment. A son
was born to them at the commence
ment of the second 3 far of their mar
ried life, and who was, at the time
the adventure e are about to relate
transpired, nearly two years of age.
ana as bright a little lellow as ever
cheered the hearts of parents, whose
very li'e seemed bound up in their
child.
I ne nearest neighbors of the Sloey s
were more than three miles away.
through tbe forest, so it was seldom
thev taw others than themselves. The
settler was too much occupied with
his work to pay mucn attention to
making visits, and the distance was so
great that it was not safe for his wife
togoalcne, as the forests swaimed
ith wild beasts, which rendered the
night hideous with their cries. Bears
and panthers abounded, but the
wolves most to be dreaded and proved
tbe greatest annoyance; for olten
they would gather around the cabin
early dusk and keep up their hor
rid cries until tbe early gray of dawn
sent them bowling into the dim aisles
the forest and up the dark ravines
among the mountains, where shadows
almost like those of night lurked
through the day.
One day, late in October, business
called the settler to the nearest settle
ment of importance in that section,
which chanced to be some eight
miles distant ; and he set out early
the morning, telling his wife she
should not look for him before night
fall, as it was very uncertain what
time te wonld be able to accomplish
business, and it might be that he
wonld not be home till late in the
night; but come he would before he
slept, unless some unseen event inter
posed t) prevent. Heading over his
child that was sleeping in tbe bed, he
kiesed it, and then, having bestowed
the same mark of affection upon his
wife, he bade her to be careful not to
stir from the cabio or to allow the
child to wander from her eight, for
fear that some harm might come to
them from the wild beasts. With
this caution, which she promised
readily to observe, he threw his rifle
over his shoulder and tooK his way
across the clearing, and his wife
watched him from the doorway until
the forest thicket hid him from her
sight.
TIse morning bad given promise ot
beautiful day, which a? sarsnee was
well kept until a little past meridian,
when the wind changed to the east
ward, and dark clouds began to ob
scure the sky to the south and west,
giving strong indications that a storm
was nigh at hand. Busy with her
work and tbe care of her boy, Mrs.
Sloey did not notice the approaching
storm until near nightfall, when the
sudden darkness that teemed all at
once to throw a deep gloom about
the cabin reminded her that the.night
and storm were close at hand, and
going to the doorway she gazed anx
iously toward that point in the forest
whence she expected to get the first
sight of her husband.
Although her gaze was long and
earnest, it was not rewarded by a
glimpse cf her husband ; then with a
glance at the dark clouds that seemed
cover the little clearing as if with
hnge pall, she tiied to calculate how
long it would be before the rain would j
begin to fall, and to guess the dis
tance her husband might be away,
and the chance he had of reaching
home before the storm.
Standing in the doorway the gloom
seemed to deepen every moment,
sighing dismally in tbe forest disd
away, leaving everything almost as
still as death.
The kettle singing on fie hearth
recalled her to the tact that she had
commenced preparing supper, and
turning away from the door, she ap
proached the rude stone fire-place,
and after paying due attention to
what was cooking there she ap
proached the bed upon which her boy
was sleeping, and found the air ot
the last deepening night appeared to
strike him where he lay. Not caring
close the door, as she wished to
catch the first sound of her husband's
footsteps on his return, she bethought
herself of a quilt that was in the loft,
which she could spread upon the bed
without disturbing the little son.
Listening for a moment, to make
sure no footsteps were approaching,
she ascended the rude ladder, and felt
her way along in tbe darkness the loit
was unprovided with windows to the
spot where she supposed the object of
her search to be lying, but it was not
there. Either she or her husband had
moved it, and gi oping her way about
darkness, she, after a few moments
delay, succeeded in finding it, and
taking it on her arm, she approached
the ladder and was about to descend
when she caught sight of an object in
the room that seemed to turn her
blood to ice, and for a moment ren
dered her incapable of thought or ao
Uon,
Standing in the center of the room,
with its head upturned, its fierce eyes
glaring around in every direction, its
long red tongue partly protruding
from its hall-open mouth in which the
white fangs were visible, was a huge,
lank wolf, that despite the timidity of
its race had ventured in through tbe
half-open door in search of food, at'

was cooking upon the fire, as it bad

. a . "
in is moment wna: was the horror of
the mother to see her boy, awakened,
no doubt, by the noise made by the
slamming of the door, rise up in bed
and call her to come to him.
At the sound of the child's voice.
the wolf paused ne,ar the center ot
the room, and fixed his eyes upon the
little fellow, who, all unconscious of
danger, was calling for. his mother.
The red tongue still protruded, and
the white teeth glistened in the fire
light, as the monoter, half fearing to
spring, crept nearer the bed to take a
better Jock at uis prey.
Half frenzied with tbe terrible dan
ger of her child, the mother determ
ined to sacrifice her own life, if need
be, for that of her boy. A plan had
suggested itself to her, a mere hope
as it were, and sue grasped it with
all the eagerness that only those so
situated can know.
Unfolding tbe quilt and laving it
across her arm, she prepared to de
scend tae laaacr. ine woir was
almost at its foot, and the bad bnt a
short dis'.anco away. The monster
saw her coming, and withdrew his
gaze from tbe child and fixed it upon
his new victim.
When half way t'owa the ladder,
the wolt made a spring at her ; this
was tbe moment for her to execute
her hastily formed plan, and throwing
tbe quilt, she enveloped the wolf in
its folds, who not fancying this cover
ing, commenced backing toward the
other side ot the csbin, striving to
get rid of it, but in vain. Sow was
the moment for action; and springing
the bed she clasped her child in
her arms and sprang up the ladder,
nnharmed by the wolf, who was still
straggling in vain endeavors to rid
itself from the quilt. With one hand
she threw tbe ladder back Into the
room, and then a cry of thankfulness
fell from her lips at the success that
bad attended her cffjrts to save her
child.
Tbe boy not knowing tha meaning
this behavior on the part of the
mother, and somewhat frightened
withal, began to cry ; and while she
tried to hash him into silence again,
she did not take her eyes from tbe
wolf, who, completely blindfolded,
wss spinning- about th room in the
most eccentric manner.
It was more by its subsequent
action than by the fortunate throw
ing of the quilt by Mrs. Sloey that
the wolf became entangled eo hope
leesly in it. At first she watched his
actions with satisfaction, but as each
circle brought the wolt nearer the
fire, a new terror took possession of
her heart. Should it blunder therein,
it seemed fated to do, would not
the cabin be set on fire thereby and
death as horrible as the one from
which she had just rescued her child
their late. Trembling with fear
she watched every motion, and at
last that which she feared occurred.
Each circle, as the wolf frantically
endeavored to free itself from the
covering, had brought it nearer to i
Ereplice, under the mass of
glowing c aibers. A howl of rago
and pain ioiioweu ah it sprang out
again upon the floor, its covering a
sheet of fire. Another bound and it
landed upon tbe bed, where, by a
frantic etTort, it threw off its fiery
w A A 1 m
cover, ana uttering yeips or pain u
sprang again to the floor and rushed
around tbe room for a chance to
escape.
The bed was all on fire in a mo
ment, and Mrs. Sloey uttered a cry
despair as the llames caught in
every direction and a dense volume
smoke rolled up through the aper
ture in the loft.
"Father in Heaven, mast we per
ish! exclaimed the mother aa she
pressed tbe child to her breast.
"Husband, husband! why do yon
not come and save your wife and
child from this horrible fate?"
No answer to toe frantic ejacula
tion came to the ear of the distracted
woman save tlie crackling or the
flames as they caught upon the dry
wood of the cabin, and sent their
forked tongues up to the spot where
she stood, while her ears were filled
with ths snarp cries ot the wolf as it
ranged round and round in its vain
endeavors to escape, while ever and
ancn tbe names would eaten upon tbe
the for, where it was not already
scorched off in its first attack with
the fire causing it to utter a howl ot
agony.
Although death stared her in the
face, Mrs. Sloey was not a woman to
give up so long as there was a chance
for life left to her. As we have al
ready said there were no windows in
the loft, so that avenue of escape was
denied her. The roof was covered
with hewn plank fas'.ened to the
bridge pole and the top log of the
sides by means of stout wooden pins.
To remove one or more of these was
ber only chance of escape, but to do
this with her own unaided hands
seemed to be impossible. Half
choked by the smoke, and ber child
clinging to her and crying witn au its
power, she felt about her to find some
instrument to aia ner in me accom
plishment of her purpose, but all she
, , . . . i i- ,
coma nna was a stout buck oi woou
that her husband had placed there to
season for an axe-helve. Inserting
this between the log and cne of the
planks, she essayed all her strength
to raise it from its place, bnt without
success. Finding this one immova
ble, she tried another, with like result.
Hotter and more stifling grew the
air about ber, loader crackled the
flames below, and fiercer became the
cries of the imprisoned wolf, while
the cries of her child rang aboTo all,
and rendered herwell-nigh deaperAte.
Hope was fast leaving her. But one
more dank untried, and she had
cone the leneth of the front side of
the cabin. With the energy born of
despair she inserted the stick, and
pried upward with all her strength,
and to her great joy it moved slowly
and the welcome fresh air of heaven
came pouring in upon them.
Inspired by hope she attempted to
tart another one by its aid, but with

HORRIBLE TALE OF SUFFERING.
The Horrors of the Passage from Europe
in an Emigrant Ship-Five Hundred
HalfStarved and Half-Frozen
HalfStarved and Half-Frozen Passengers.
[From the Louisville Ledger.]
We have heard many stories told
ot the snfrerings of a tup in an cmi
grant ship from Europe to America,
ana read details ot many very shock
ing cases of barbarity practiced upon
the poor emigrants by barbarous offi
cers of ships ; but we have been fur
nisbed the particulars by several
Germans, who arrived in this city a
few days ago from Germany, of a
scries of barbarities practiced upon
the passengers of the emigrant ship
Holland, of ths Liverpool and Xew
York line, that exceed in infamy and
outrage anything of the kind we have
heretofore heard or read.
The Holland arrived at New York
on the. 24th of March, after along
and boisterous tiip, hb five hundred
and fifty passergers aboard, all emi
grants, being at least two hundred
more thau she had accommodations
for. A number of these emigrants
were for Louisville, where they ar
rived the. litter part of last week,
and from some of whom we get these
particulars. The vessel had been at
sea but a few days when it was dis
covered that tbe stock of provisions
was not only ot tbe poorest quality,
but was also very light. In less than
week all the fijur, potatoes and
other vegetables were exhausted, and
the passengers were reduced to a
diet or ship buscnit and horse beef,
and this of the poorest quality, and
doled out in the smallest portions.
btarvalion began to stare the
wretched emigrants in tho face, al
though the ship's officers and crew
seemed to have plenty ot good and
healthy food. To all appeals for a
fair division of this food among the
emigrants the officers and crew ans
wered only with curses and blows.
Sickness broke out among the cmi
grants, and in their desperation some
of them made an effort to secure
more food, but were knocked down
and kicked and beaten by the crew.
Many of these miserable people, men,
women, and children, were exposed
on deck to the cold, and were badly
frozen. Our informant states that
the captain and mate of tbe vessel
were particularly cruel in their treat
ment of tbe poor emigrants, and as a
consequence ot all their sulljnogs
there was much sickness and rainy
deaths during the trip.
To such a degree ot starvation
were luese emigrants reduced tbat

Washington never never made a
speech. In the zenith of nis fame
he once attempted it, tailed, and gave
up confused and abashed. In fram
ing the Constitution of the United
States, the labor was almost wholly
performed in Committee of the Whole
of which George Washington was
day after day tier day the chairman,
but he made two speeches during the
convention, of a few words each,
something like oneof Grant's speeches

of bis first speech, pronouncing it the

never made a speech. He couldn't
do it- Napoleon, whose executive
ability is almost without a parallel,
said that his greatest difficulty was in
finding men of deeds rather than
words. When asked how he main
tained his influence over his superiors
in age and experience when commander-in-chief

his speeches or their number.

BORDER REMINISCENCES.
Adam Poe's Great Fight.
eo
evi
for
of
in
The celebrated fight between Adam
Poe and the Shawnee chief, Black
Feather, has been spoken of in the
histories ot early Kentucky, bnt I
believe the particulars of the combat
have never been given to the public.
The fight was remarkable, not oniy
on account of the well known prow
ess of the parties engaged, bnt with
the exceeding stubbornesa with which
it was conducted, and the many pha-.
ses it assumed before it ended.
They literally fooght on the earth.
in the air, and under the water.
Adam Poe. one of the first settlers
of Kentucky, had often expressed a
desire to meet the Shawnee chief in s
hand-to-hand combat, and these
boastings having reached the ears of
iilack .Feather, he declared his inten-
tion of seekinz out tire darfnwMt
A .US lor two oeaaoua uu wuj
did, bnt circumstances combined to
keep them apait for a time, finally,
however, the opportunity came.
Adam Poe and his brother had
been oui hunting, and were return
ing, toward sundown, bearing a back
on a pole between them. -When
passing a small thicket, a
shot was fired at them, the ball lodg
ing in the head of the deer, which
hang next to Adam Poe.
To drop their burden and rash to
the ambush was but the work of a
moment, Adam taking the right and
his brother the left hand side.
The thicket proving much larger
than either thought, they, became
more widely separated than they in- .
tended, and Adam was on the point
of returning to where they had left
the deer, when, at the distance of a
hundred yards or so, he discovered
the gigantic form of the Shawnee
chief, who was just in the act of
firing upon him,
Adam had time to reach cover be
fore the shot was made, and then be
gan a series of tactics, such as is
rarely witnessed in those wilds, for
two of the most noted warriers of the
day were trying to gain an advan
tage over the other.
Foot by. foot they drew nearer
each other, leaping from tree to tree,
from stump to stump, from rock to
to rock as the case may be.
Imperceptible to each other, per
haps, they gradually worked round,
until both stood on the verge of a
high bluff-bank overlooking the river,
facing each other, but some twenty
paces apart.
Here, from behind trees, the wild
foeman strove to obtain a shot ; and
at last Adam, thinking he saw his
chance, fired at the exposed hip of
the chief.
He missed his aim, and like an en
raged lion, the gigantic Indian rush
ed irom his cover, and bore down np
on the no wise undaunted white
man.
Hair way they met, the Indian
wielding his tomahawk, having cast
aside his rifle, while Adam laid his
hopes and prospects npon the keen
edge of his hunting knife.
With a shock, they met midway,
and then began a struggle snch as ia
rarely witnessed between human
kind.
Poe was not quite ao tall as the
Shawnee, but he was fully as strong,
and more active ; and so the fight
was on an equal footing.
For many .minutes they straggled
back and forth npon the grassy level,
now closing in the attempt to throw
each other, and failing In this, again
resorted to blows, dealt with toma
hawk and knife. By this time both
were wounded in several places, the
chief probably the most severely of
the two.-
At length, making a savage stroke
with his weapon, the grasp of the
red-skin slipped, and the light ax
went whirling far into the river.
In an instant the Indian grappled,
and a struggle, fiercer than any that
had yet taken place, ensued : each
put forth every effort, until, approach
ing too near the verge of the prci
pice, they missed their footing and
went tumbling into the stream lock
ed In deadly embrace !
The advantage now lay with
Adam. He was a practical swim
mer, and soon discovered that his
opponent conld not wim at all.
The Indian strove to regain the
shore, but was thwarted at every
point by Poe, who would jerk him
back into deep water, and then both
would go nnder together.
Finally falling farther Out than be
fore, the combatants were caught up
by the current, and quickly born
some distance from the land.
The fight was now all in the white
man's lavor, and would be soon end
ed, but for sn unlooked-for and un
fortunate circumstance. Adam's
brother suddenly appeared npon the
scene, and taking in his brother's
peril, as he thought, at a glance,
ventured uponthe dangerous exper
iment of finisning the chief by a
shot.
The ball sped, but not truly, for it
struck Adam in the shoulder, al
most paralyzing his left arm. His sit
uation became desperate now indeed.
He could force the Indian beneath
the current, bnt he conld not keep
him there, and seeing that his own
strength was rapidly departing, he
determined to try and ontwind the
enemy.
With this obiect he suddenly
threw his arm around the savage's
neck, and they disappeared beneath
the surface.
Adam's brother, standing noon the
bank, unconscious of the harm he
had done, witnessed the scene in
dismay.
Long he waited for the appearance
of one or the other, until at length.
Decommg alarmed, he leaped into
the stream, and swara to the spot.
lie reacneu it not a moment too
soon.
Adam tad " out. winded" the In
dian, but, in doing to, had nearly
drowned himself.
He came feebly to the the surface.
and would have sank again, bnt for
nis brothers aid.
They both reached the shore in
safety, but Adam Pee never folly re
covered from the terrible exertion of
tbat fight.
