come to combine the local epics into one
masterpiece, no Walter Scott to shape the
rude minstrelsy of our border into harmoni
ous numbers. Of the many border stories,
full of pathos and fitted for sons: or tragic
recitation, one is here presented in some de
tail because every part of it is know n to be
true and many of tha witnesses are still living.
Some philosopher has said that savagery is so
natural to man that though it takes forty
years to civilize au Indian, a white man, still
more a whito Doy, can go wild in six months;
&ad the following history goes to confirm it:
Scarcely had the viotory of Gen. Wayne
given peace to the northwest ere 10,000 Ken
tuckians, Virginians and Ohioans invaded
the wilderness of Indiana and carried the
line of civilization up the Wabash to the Bus
. seron. Then camo a fresh wave of barbar
ism from the north Kickapoos, Shawnees,
Winnebagoes and Pottawattomies minded
and drove the settlers almost to the Ohio.
Tippecanoe and Fort Harrison battles were
fought but two considerable Indian fights
in the Wabash valley, and the commanders
at both lived to become presidents. The tide
of civilization set northward again, and John
Campbell and others located near the Busse
ron, in what is now Sullivan county, Ind.
The iliamis had become peaceful and the
Shawnees and Winnebagoes were gone, but
the Kickapoos and Pottawattomies still gave
occasional trouble. Therefore when bands of
iliami3 traversed the settlements they were
always accompanied by one or more whito
men to hail approaching rangers and give
warning that those were friendly Indians.
On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 12, 1SI5, John
Campbell, Jr., and Vincent Edwards started
from the block house in which the families
still lived to drive home the cows and were
never seen again by their people. The same
afternoon Dudley Mack and iladison Collins
tvero returning: homo on horseback, when
they came suddenly upon a band of Indians
and wheeled their horses into the brush.
Then seeing the two boys, Collins called out:
"Hold on, Mack, theso are our Injuns."
The nest instant they saw that two Indians
had the boys covered with their guns. Tha
lads dared not give the alarm, for fear of in
stant death, and thus ivero used to deceive
the rangers or others, as occasion might
serve. The Indians fired over the boys just
as the two men wero turning again towards
the brush. Nine balls struck Collins, and
every one went through some part of him
three through his breast yet he got into tha
brush and escaped. Mack's horse was killed.
He ran some distance and met two Indians,
who shot him dead. Collins reached the
block hou, and made one of the most re
markable recoveries on record. In a fort
night he could walk. Six years later the last
piece of broken bone worked out, ho recov
ered his strength and lived to a good ago in
perfect health.
The alurm was given and a pursuit began,
but the whites were too few. Proof waa

were taken to the far north. The bereaved
father of Campbell devoted many' years to
the search for his boy, hearing of him now
from this agent and then from that trader
until ho traced him to the Lake of the Woods,
in Canada, and there for many years the
trail was lost. To the year of his death, 1S51,
and when he was SO years old, he would plan
expeditions to hunt "his boy," when the cap
tive was a middle aged man and a chiof.
Little by little the -history of the lost -was
revealed. The boys were separated early,
and no more was heard of Edwards till 1547,
when his relatives traced him to his home
among the Kansas Indians. John Campbell
was traded from trihj to tribe till he became
valuable as an interpreter, "was captured, at
times by hostile tribes, but always spared for
his value. At length the family were deeply
grloved and somewhat angered to learn that
ho had been bought by a white trader, who
in turn sold him to an Indian who was or
ganizing a tribe or band of his own. This
was not uncommon among the aborigines,
the "dogsiJdiers."or"outcatsof manv tribe,
location of his tribe was far up the Missouri,
whence the chief and his principal men came
every year to St. Joe to dispose of their furs,
trade and have a "bij drunk." He was very
tall, finely formed and of commanding ap
pearance; but of his being among the Indians
he had no explanations to offer. "Rene
gades" and "Bquaw men" are so common on
the border that few care to inquire about
them.
At length Solomon Jessup, of Parke coun
ty, Ind., located near St. Joe, saw this chief,
and remarked a striking resemblance to some
one he had known. On their way home his
wife said to him: "Did you notice how much
that chief looked like Josiah Campbell?"'
Conviction flashed over Jessup's mind at
once. He knew the man to be a brother of
his former neighbor, but the knowledge came
too late Chief Campbell and his tribe were
gone, nor did be ever again appear at St. Joe.
His brother pursued the inquiry, however,
and at last obtained from an Indian agent
Chief Campbell's own account of himself.
He detailed the events of his boyhood, cap
ture and travels, final emancipation and pro
motion to a chieftaincy.
But be exhibited the same strange timidity,
or repulsion, which is the characteristic of so
many taken captive by Indiana in their
youth, and which is so hard to account for.
Almost always they seem to be afraid they
wiil be compelled to return to the whites. At
any rate Chief Campbell retreated far up the
Missouri, and his relatives never heard of
him again. In 1SC8 Gen. Pope captured some
marauding Indians on the Missouri and
hanged their leaders. In the list of those
hanged appears the namo "Half breed Camp
bell," but whether this was a son of Chief
John Campbell there is no way to decide.
Three-quarters of a century have rolled
away since the "Dudley Mack massacre," as
it is called, and it is hard for the traveler
who is delightfully whirled through that
lovely region in the cars of the Evansvilla
and Terro Haute line to realize that it was
ever the scene of savage raids. On every
hand are fields whito and red with clover
tops, rank in meadow grass or yellow with
heavy gram; all the country is dotted with
white farmhou&es, and thickset among them
are academies and churches. The Aryan
conquest is complete. The Fort Harrison

prairie is one of the richest and loveliest rural
regions on earth; on the battle plain of Tip
pecanoe is an institution of learning, while
the field of the hottest contest resounds on
many days of summer with the merry song
and laughter of picnickers. The main body
of Kickapoos fought their way to Mexico,
implacable to the last; but a feeble remnant
remains in Kansas. The Pottawattomies
have steadily shrunk till only one band of
about 400 remains. The Miamis once domi
nated Ohio and Indiana to the number of
perhaps 15,000; now a little squad of forty

VALUE OF
M'COSH ON THE
AN EDUCATION.
A Chance for All Tonus Men Without
Much Money They May Secure an Edu
cation and Make Themselves Useful.
Words of Wisdom.
There is at this moment a vast number of
young men ail over the country who have a
deep and burning desiro to have a college ed
ucation, but who from straitened circum
stances know not how to obtain it. I am to
try to help them.
First let the youth settle with himself
whether ho has such a taste and talent for
learning and such a strength of character and
purpose as will carry him through the diffi
culties which he will have to encounter as ho
passes through school and college. If he has
not, let him betake himself to some kind of
labor or business, rather than enter upon a
struggle in which he will probably falter and
fail But if he has, let him follow his incli
nations, and in the end, God sparing him, he
will be sure to succeed and and many means
of enjoyment and usefulness provided for
him.
EDUCATING HIMSELF.
He will first have to look out for a school
where the branches leading to a college en
trance are taught. It is necessary that he
should have some teacher, professional or
non-professional, to start him. If he can
continuo with his teacher he should do so.
But if ho cannot he may to a large extent
educate himself. In Princeton college some
of our brightest and most solid students have
been, to a large extent self educated, getting
occasional aid from their minister, or from a
college alumnus, or a stray teacher. A youth
thus trained may acquire a robustness of
mind never acquired by thoso who have been
depending all along on others.
While he is pursuing this course, with a
teacher, if possible, without a regular in
structor if ha cannot have one, lot him send
for a college catalogue, which be will get for
nothing or for a trifle, and let him examine
it carefully in order to direct his studies. In
order fully to comprehend it he should con
sult with his teacher or minister, or a college
graduate Meanwhile he may have to en
gage in somo work bringing a small remuner
ation; tho best office ho can get is that of an
assistant teacher. Whatever he does, he
should reserve his ovenings for study.
In nearly all American colleges there are
scholarships which may not fully sustain him,
but will help him and at least pay his tuition.
Let him apply for one of theso, and by perse
verance he is sure to get it. By means of the
catalogue, or by private inquiry, he will find
what the expenses of tho college aro for tho
year. There aro good colleges in which he
can struggle through for $300, or eveu 200 a
year in addition to his scholarship. In the
summer vacation of three months ho may bo
able to get remunerative work in some houso
of business, say as a clerk or temporary assist
ant; m the harvest field, which will give him
health; in hawking books, which will show
him the country; as waiter in a hotel, or in
some chance job, any one of which will give
him a knowledge of the world and business
habits to make hi3 ccholarship money avail
able for good. All such employments are re
spectable and actually respected when the
character is good; more so, and will raise
him more in tho esteem of his friends and the
public, than a constant dependence on elee
mosynary aid.
GOOD CODUCT AND DILIGENCE.
But he may get friends to aid him who
will not interfere with his independence.
It may be that the cougregation of which
ho is a member, more especially if ho is
going forward to tho ministry, may help
ono who is helping himself; or some lady
or gentleman noticing his perseverance
may encourage one who is evidently so
anxious to improve himself. If his means
fail him, ho may retire from college for a
year or two and engage in some useful em
ployment, to return with perhaps a moro ma
ture mind. Let him all tho while bo securing
tho friendship of his professor and his fellow
students, not by cringing or fawning, but by
good conduct and diligence in stud3', and they
may toll of offices which he can fill, and help
him to secure them.
Give us a young man with fair talents,
with good moral character and with perse
verance, and under the good providence of
Lrod, which he should always seek to watch
over him, and he is sure to succeed in spite of
all discouragements and difficulties.
I can claim that when I was a college pro
fessor or president I had always great pleas
ure in encouraging such struggling young
men. Now in my retirement I have no great
er enjoyment than in following the careers of
those who have studied under me, many of
them having attained high and honorable
positions in tho church, at the bar, in medi
cine, or in business. I can count eighty-seven
professors or presidents of colleges seven in
Ireland and eighty in America who studied
under mo. I get occasional letters from old
pupils in South America, in India, in China
and Japan, occupying useful positions as mis
sionaries and in dozens of other fields.
A SAMPLE CASE.
Ono case may be a sample of others. When
I was professor in Queen's college, Belfast,
Robert Hart, who had been the first student
of his year and tho first in my classes of phil
osophy, camo to me after graduating and
said: "You have given me a high education,
but I do not know what to make of it."
I asked to what denomination he belonged,
and he told me that he was a Methodist, and
I suggested that he might become a Methodist
minister. But ho replied that he had no call.
I inquired whether he would go oa to law,
and ho said: "I am tho son of a working
miller. Tho training for law is very expen
sive and my father has no more money to
spend for me." I told him I would keep hU
caso before me. Shortly after the distin
guished statesman, Earl Clarendon, asked our
president to send up a student to compete for
a position in the consular service in China.
I got him appointed our candidate and ho
stood first in a competition open to every col
lege in the British dominions. He went to
China, rose to be a high mandarin, becamo
collector for the whole external revenue of
China, was appoint by the British govern
ment ambassador to China, was made a bar
onet by Queen Victoria (Sir Robert Hart),
established himself a university to give west
ern learning to the Chinese, and is now ac
knowledged to ba about the ablest and most
influential man in that great empire.
But this is not the best part of my story.
A few years ago ho wrote me, saying: "I
owe much to you. I believe you have a son
in Princeton college: let him graduate and
then send him out to China, and I will pro
vide for him for life.' We did not accept
the cfifcr. But I was greatly touched by the
incident.
I mention the things not to gratify any
personal vanity I may have, but simply to
encourage young men to cultivate tbeir
minds. I have spent thirty-six years of ray
life in teaching students Now when I have
to cease from this work I have great satisfac-
ioa in writing this paper to stimulate young
men to devote themselves to study and there
by seek to rise to positions of usefulness j
