of collecting.
We have a friend—Ben we call hiin, for the
sa'ke of brevity. He is one of those good na-
tured, easy, affable collectors, who, when he
presents a-bflh does it with an unctious sua-
vity that makes it a pleasure to onr possessed

recently undertaken a portion of the heavy

The various collectors have their accounts
and bills arranged in alphabetical order, each
one taking so many letters of the alphabet,
with the list of the corresponding names of

It fell to the lot of our friend Bon to have

er extensive, and it required, on the part of
Ben. unusual tact and ingenuity to post him-
self familiarly with the names, places of busi-
ness, and residences of bis multifarious credi-

of the city. By night he would scrutinize
closely the directory and by day examine with

same time, makmg comparisons with his bills.
Daring his travels yesterday through one
of our principal business thoroughfares his
attention was attracted to a gilt lettered -sign
over a store door, with "W. R. Cheese" stand
ing out in bold relief on it Ben halted and
exclaimed to a friend who accompanied him,
"I've got a bill against that fellow, I think,"
and'ferthwith he stalked into the establish-

"Why, W. R. Cheese, the man who keeps

"W. R. Cheese d—d." answered the man.
That means Western Reserve Cheese."
Ben caved in. Without uttering a word,
he slowly replased his bills, and gracefully

You mean you'ra glad you hain't but one

You hain't able to take a paper! Now Fubbs!

I lost one dollar and fifty cents on butter that
I said to a pedlar; tecause I didn't know the

Didn't you take yottr gun t'other day, and
walk clear down to the Big Marsh a huntinf,

marching into Rubies? Y-e-s y-o-u d-i-d,
Fubbs, you needn't deny it. But the turkeys
were all out of the Rushes, I guess, before you
got there. Didn't kill any, did you? It was
a bad day for turkeys, wasn't it? Ha! ha!
Hit him again, Mr*. Fubbs. He deserves
it all. We have.a good many Mr. Fubb's in

tainly displays an extraordinary discrimina-

AND iWAGO BATTLE IN
-1829: ^ " '**
During the-winter of 1828 9, a large band
of the Cherokee Indians, looking forward to a
settlement in the territory of Texas, arrived
on Red River on .their way South. Here they
palled a halt and determined to pitch their
tents for a year or two, raise corn, and "spy
out the land," before they came farther. They
settled in two villages, three or four miles
apart, with small parties round in every direc-
tionrfor a few miles. Some of their men had,
it is supposed, visited the wild tribes, as far
west as the Brazos, before this.
They had not been at this place very long,
before their villages were discoyerd by a par-
ty of Wacos, on a robbing expedition from .the
Brazos; and these free-booters, true to their
instincts from time immemorial, lay concealed
till the silent midnight hour, and then, steal-
thily entering the herds of the sleeping Chc-
rokees, stampeded their horses, driving off a
large number. To follow them was labor in
vain---but to quietly forget the deed, was not
a maxim among the Red Sons of Tennessee.
A council was held and the matter discus-
sed.—After the opinions of the warriors had
been given, the principal war-chief rose and
in substance said—;'My brothers ! the wild
men of the far-off Brazos, have come into our
camps while the Cherokee slept! They have
stolen our most useful property. Without
horses, we are poor and cannot make corn
The Cherokees will hasten to plant their corn
for this spring, and while that is from the
ground and growning under the smiles of the
Great Spirit and shall be waving around our
women and children, we will leave some old
men and women to.watch it, and the Cherokee
braves will spring upon the cunning Wacos
of the Bracos, as they have sprung upon" us."
The corn was planted and in the mouth of
April, 1829, a war party of 55, well armed
left the Red River villages on foot in search
of the Wacos. At this time the principle
village of the Wacos was on the bluff where
the beautiful town of Waco now greets the
eye, on the west bank of the Brazos. The
Tahuacano (Ta wak-a-no) Indians, who have
always been more-or-less connected with the
Wacos, were living on the east bank of the
river' throe miles below. Both bands had
erected rude fortifications, by scooping up the
earth in various places and throwing up a
circular embankment three or four feet high,
the remains of which are still to be seen. The
principle work of this kind at the Waco Vil-
lage occupied a natural sink in the surface.
Tha Cherokees struck the Brazos above the
village some forty miles, and traveled down
wards till they discovered signs of its proxoi-
mity, and them secreted themselves in the
cedar brakes till night—The greater portion
of the night was employed in examining the
position, through experienced scouts. Having
made the necessary observations, the scouts
reported near daylight; when the war chief,
admonished them of what they had come for
—revenge!—Waco scalps!!—and led them
fortbirom their hiding place, under the bank
of the rivgr to a point about 400 yards from
the wigwams of the slumbering Wacos. Here
they halted till rays of light—on that lovely
May morning—began to gild the eastern heri-
zon^ The time for action had come. Moving
with the noiseless, elastic step, peculiar to the
sons of the forest, the Cherpkees approached
the ^atnp. But a solitary Waco had aroused
and was collecting the remains of his fire of
the previous nijht, preparatory to his morn
ing repast. His Indian ear caught the sound
of footsteps on the brush—a glance of his
lynx-eve revealed the approaching foe. A
single shrill yell from hirn, which echoed far
and near through the Brazos forest, brought
every Waco to his feet. The terrible Chero-
kee War whoop was their morning greeting,
accompanied by a shower of leaden rain. But,
though surprised, the Wacos outnumbered
their assailments many times—their woman
and children must he' protected or sacrificed
—their ancient homo, where the bones, of
their fathers had been buried for ages, was
as>ailed by unknown intruders. Their chiMh
rallied the warriors and made. a stand—the
tight became general, and as the sun rose
majestically over the- towering trees to the
east,' he beheld tlie red men of Tennessee and
the red men of Texas in deadly strife. But
the bows and arrows <of the Waco could not
compete with the mefciless rifle of the Che-
rokee. The Wacos were falling rapidly while
the Cherokee were unharmed. -
After half an hoUr's-strife, amid yells, and
mutual imprecations, the Wacos signalled a
retreat and they fell back in confusion, tak-
ing refuge in the fortified sink hole. Here;
though hemmed in, they were quite secure,
haying a great advantage. Indeed they cbu d
kill every Cherokee who might, peradventure,
risk his person too near the. brink.
The Cherokee had already killed many,
and' ftd*r held a council, to consider what
they should do. _ It was proposed by one
brave that thpy should strip, to a state of na-
ture, march into the sink hole in a body, fire
their pieces, then drop them, and with toma-
hawks alone endeavor to kill every manj wo-
man and child among the Wacos. A half
bread, named Smith, who was in favor of this
desperate measure, ,as -an incentive to his
comrades, stripped hhnsi If, fastened half a do-
Zeri horse hells (which he had picked up 'fn
the camp) round his waist, and commenced
galloping and yelling round the sink hole,
now and then jumping on to the embankment
and then back, cursing the Wacos most lusti-
ly- —Arrows were hurled at him by the score,
but he fell not. - " v"
Just as the Cherokee council was coining
to a close, at about an hour after sunrise,
they heard a noise, like distant thuqder on
the opposite side, of tha river, and delayed a
few moments to discover ks cause. Very
soon they disc6vcred a large body of mounted
Indians rising the river bank a little below
th?m. What could that mean, they mur-
mured one to another!* The story is soon
t >Id. A messenger had rushed from the
Wacos in the outset/or the Tahuacano warriors
riors, mounted and ready for the fray, were
at hand. The whole aspect of the day was
changed in a moment. To conquer this com-
bined force was impossible—to escape them-
selves, would require prudence. The Tahua-
canos, in coming up, cut off a Cherokee boy,
12 years old, killed and scalped him, and plac-
ing his scalp on a lance, held it defiantly up
to the view of the Cherokees. The boy was
an only child and his father behold this scene
The brave man's eye glared with fury. With-
out a word, he threw from his bo:iy every
piece of apparal; seized a knife in one hand—
a tomahawk in the other. ''What will 30a!"
« i I the chief. "Die with my brave boy !—
die slaying the wild men who have plucked
the last.rose from my bosom !" The chief
interceded and admonished him it was mad-
ness; but the Cheio'<ee listened not;—with
rapid strides he rushed among the Tahuaca-
nos, upon certain death, but ere death had
seized its victim, he had killed several, and
died shooting defiace in their midst.
The Tahuacanos occupied the post oaks just
below the Cherokees, and kept tip a lusty
shouting, but ventured not within rifle shot.
The latter, seeing that on an open field they
could not resist such numbers—having taken
55 Waco scalps («qual to their own number)
—having lost two men and the boy—now
fell back in to the cedar brake and remained
there till night. They were convinced that
their safety depended upon a cautions retreat,

glory enough, in their estimation. The tribe
was speedily called together for a grand war.
dance. For miles around the American set-
tlers were surprised to see sucli a commotion
and gathering among the Indians. A gentle-
man, my informant, was there visiting a wi-
dowed sister.—He rode up to the Cherokee
encampment, inquired into the cause of the
movements, and was invited to alight and
spend the day. He did so—and witnessed
one of the grandest war dances he ever saw,
and he is an old Indian- fighter. A very in-
telligent man. a half-breed named Cbisholm,
one of the 55, gave him a full history of the
whole transaction. He noted it carefully and
from him I received it.
That gentleman is Capt. Thomas H. Bsrron,
formerly of Washington county, now residing
near Waco. When he first visited Waco in
1834, he at once recognized the ground and
sink hole as described by Chishoim. The
Cherokees did not forget the Tahuacanos,
but held them to a strict account, of which

always taken away before ^another is given.
It is no part of wisdom to make ourselves
miserable to-day, because there is a possibili-
ty of being so to-morrow.
If you would be miserable, live for your-
self; if happy, endeavor to seek the good of
mankind.
At the gate which suspicion enters, love
goes out.
Genius is. in one respect, like gold—num-
ber of persons about both who have neither.
With many women, going to church is a
little better than looking into a bonnet shop.
