Pitlsburg Dispatch : Hack in the early
days of llio 1'ittabury river tratlo , vvlieu
the navigation of the Monongalicla nnil
Olilo rivers was in its nwtuldling clothes ,
there was no character so well known us
Michael Fink. Ho might justly bo stylctl
the pioneer of Pittsbnrg boating. Fink
was born in this oily nnd had but little
knowlcdgu of letters , especially of their
sound and powers , as Ids orthography
was very bad , and ho usually spelled his
name Miclto 1'hinck , wliilo his father
spelled it with an F. When ho was
young , the witchery which is in the tone
of a wooden trumpet , culled a river horn
formerly used by keel mid ilatboat navi
gators on the western waters , entranced
tlio soul of Mike wlulo yet a boy , and ho
longed to bccomo a boatman. This soon
became his ruling passion , and ho served
as a boatman on tlio Ohio and Mississippi
rivers and their tributary streams , which
occupation lie pursued until this sort of
men were thrown out of employment by
the general use of steamboats.
When the Ohio was too low for naviga
tion , Mike spent most ot his limo in the
neighborhood of 1'iltsburg , killing squir
rels with his rillo and shooting at a target
for beef at tlio frequent Saturday shoot-
inff matches and company musters of the
militia , , lie soon becumu famous as "tho
best shot in thu country. " Ills language
was a perfect sample of the half-horse
nntl hal.f-ailigator dialect of the then race
of boatmen. He was also a wit , and on
that account ho gained the admiration
and o.xeltcd the fear of nil the fraternity
of boatmen , for ho usually enforced his
wit with a sound drubbing if any ono
dared to dissent by neglecting or refus
ing to laugh at his jokes , for , ns ho nsctl
to say , he told his jokes on purpose to bo
laughed at in a good-humored way , and
that noman should "mako light" of
them. Mike made proclamation , "I am
a Salt river roarer , and 1 love the
\yimming , and as how I'm chuck-tiill of
light , " etc. Among his boon compan
ions were two men. Carpenter and Talbot -
bet , Mike's fast friends and particular
confidants. Each was a mutch for the
other in prowess , in fight or skill in
shooting , for Mike had dilligontly trained
them to al ! these virtues and mysteries.
Carpenter and Talbot figure hereafter.
Many shooting feats of Mike's are related
here by persons who profess to have wit
nessed them.
" 1 will rulato some of them , " said , an
old-timer. "Use thorn as you plca&o. In
ascending tlio Mississippi , above the
mouth of the Ohio , ho saw a sow with
eight or uiuo pigs on the river bank. Ho
declared , in a boatman's phrase , he
wanted a pig , and took up his rillo to
shoot ono , but was requested not to do so.
Mike , however , laid his rillo to his face
und shot at each pig successively , as the
boat glided tip the river under easy sail ,
about 40 or M yards from shore , ami cut
oil' their tails without doing them any
harm.
"In 1823 Mike and his two friends , Cur-
pouter and Talbot , engaged , in St. Louis
with Henry & Ashley to go up the Mis
souri with them in the three-fold capaci
ty of boatmen , trnppcrs and hunters.
IteroMiko and his friend Carpenter quar
reled n deadly quarrel , the cause of
which is not certainly known , but was
thought to have been caused by a rivalry
in the good graces of a squaw. The
quarrel was fiinothered for tlio time by
tlio interposition of mutual friends. On
the return of spring the party revisited
the fort , when Mike and Carpenter , over
n cupof whisky , revived the recol
lection of their past quarrel , but
made a treaty of peace , which waste
to bo solemnized by their usual trial
of shooting the cup of whisky
from oil'each other's head , as their cus
tom was. This was at oneo the test of
mutual reconciliation anil renewed confi
dence. A question remained to bo set
tled who should have thnlir&t shot ? To
determine this , Mike proposed to "sky a
copper" with Carpenter that is , to
throw up a copper. This was done , and
Mike won the first shot. Carpenter
seemed to bo fully aware of Miko'3 un
forgiving temper and treacherous intent ,
for no declared that ho was sure Mike
would kill him. Hut Carpenter scorned
life too much to purchase it by a breach
of his solemn compact in refusing to
stanii the test. Accordingly ho prepared
to die. Ho bequeathed his gun , shot-
pouch , powder-horn , his bolt , pistols ,
and wages to Talbot , in case ho should
bo killed. They went to the fatal plain ,
and whilst Mike loaded his rifle and
picked his Hint , Carpenter filled his tin
cup with whisky to the brim , and , with
out changing his features , he placed it
on his devoted heap as a target for Mike
to shoot at. Mike leveled his rifle at the
head of Carpenter at a distance of sixty
yards.
"Aftor drawing a bend , ho took down
his rillo from his face anil smilingly said.
'Hold your noddle steady , Carpontoiyum
don't spill tlio whisky , as I shall want
some presently. ' Ho again raised , cocked
his piece , and in an instant Carpenter
fell and expired without a groan. Mike's
ball had penetrated the forehead of Car
penter in the center , about an inch unit a
half above the eyes. Ho cooly set down
his rillo. and applying the imrlo to his
mouth , blow the sinoko out of the touch-
hole , without saying tv word , keeping his
yu ftcndlly on the body of Carpenter.
His first words wore , 'Carpenter , huvn
yon spilt the whisky ? ' lie wa.s then told
that ho had killed Carpenter. 'It is all tin
accident , ' said Mike , 'for 1 took as fair a
beatl on the black snot on the cup as I
ever look on a squirrel's ' eye. How did it
IiappunV' He then cursed the gnu , the
powder , the bullet nntl liually himself.
This catastrophy. in n country whore
the ( strong arm of tlio law can not reach ,
passed oft for an accident ; and Mike was
permitted to go at largo , under the be
lief that Carpenter's death was tlio rc.sult
of contingmioy. Hut Carpenter had a
fast friend in Talbot , who only wailed a
Jair opportunity to rovungo his death. No
opportunity ollbiyd for some months after ,
until ono day , Mike , in a lit of gasconad
ing , declared to Talbot that ho did kill
Ciintmitpr on purpose , and that ho was
glad oH. Talbot instantly drew from
hi * bolt a pistol ( the same which hud be
longed to Carpenter ) ami shot Mike
throii''h the heart , Mike fell to thn
croimd and expired without a word.
Talbot , also , went unpunished , as nobody
had authority or inclination to call him
to account. Truth was , Talbot was as
ferocious and dangerous as the gri/.Iy
bear of the prairies. About three months
after , Talbot was present in thu batllo
with the Aurickarocs , inhicli Col.
Lcavonworth commanded , where ho dis
played u coolness that would have done
honor to a bettor man. Ho came out of
the battle unharmed , About ten days
after ho was drowned in thu Titan river ,
in attempting to swim it. Thus ended
'thu last of the boalmou.1"

( ienius.
Edmund Kirke , in Harper's Magazine
for March , writes as follows- Calling
upon Mr , Lincoln { n ono of tho' darkest
days of the late war , I was surpriacil to
SUB upon his mantle piece a coitplo of
volume ono u' small Hible , the other
"Arlomus Ward. His J5ook. " "Do you
road Artoiuus WanU" I asLcil him , "J
don't read anybody else , " ho answered ,
with a smile on his care worn face ; "ho
is inimitable. " In the plain building
before which we are standing the in
imitable showman lirst set up his "wax
figgcrs , " and if wo enter hero
we may encounter the assistant
editor of the Fhiindc.ilor , who
was the associate nnd intimate
friends of "A. Ward" when the latter
was the editor of this journal. He hvs
many anecdotes to toll of the genial
showman. He describes his appearance ,
when ho first came to the ollicc , ns de
cidedly rustic. Ho was , ho says , long
and lank , with flowing hair and loosely
lilting coat , nntl trousers too short in the
legs and bagging at the knees. His
humor was irrepressible , and always
bubbling over , nnd ho kept all about him
in a constant state of merriment , Ho
was a wng nothing but a wag but in
that line a genius. Hu could see only
the ludicrous side of n subject. Going
away oncn on a short vacation , ho engaged
tills gentleman to perform his work
during his absence. Ho carefully
instructed him as to his duties , and in do
ing so drew from his pocket a tow string
about a foot and a half long anil told him
he must furnish tlmt amount of copy per
day , leaving on his desk the measure a.s a
reminder of the quantity. About this
time ho wes called upon to respond to a
toast to the press at a Hen Franklin fes
tival held in Cleveland. Ho rose to his
feet , hung his head for a few moments in
silence , and then sat down , having Xaid
nothing. Iu his account 'of the festival
in the next day's Plaindealor his speech
was reported by a blank space of about
half a column of eloquent silence.
This gentleman remembers that s'oon
after "A. Ward" entered the lectv-e Held
ho was invited by a theatrical manager
in San Francisco to deliver a course in
California. The season being close at
hand , the manager asked him by tele
graph : "What will you take for forty
nights in California ? Answer immedi
ately. " Ward answered immediately , by
telegraph , "H randy and water. " Thu
joKe was noised throughout the state , ant }
the result was , when Artomus went there
to lecture on his own account , ho was met
everywhere with overflowing houses.
While engaged in lecturing in the west
lie wrote this gentleman the following
epistle :
"Mr DP.AK ( inoiton T want you to do
me a favor. I relied on ono of my men
to save mo the press notices , lie didn't.
Will you collect them for mo at once , and
send thorn to me at thu Hates house ?
Now this is taxing your good nature , but
you'll do it for me * won't you , George ?
Do you know that you remind mo more
and more of the noula Romans ? I don't
know who they were , but you remind me
of them ; yon do , indeed. And could I
have appealed to one of those noble Ko-
mans to cut out some press notices for
mo in vain ? I guess not. Go on , young
man , go on. Deal kindly with the ngcu.
Kemcinbqrth.it we are nero for only a

What One of Con. Sherman's Bolillcrs

OMAHA , Feb. 17. [ Editor of Tlio

rondnr agreed upon between himself and

inadn in thn ktlor.s recently published in
the Now York Sun , to the eli'ect liiat tlio

Was it not well known to us at that time
that such was the fact ? Gen. Sherman's
"Alomoin. " prove that ho know when
the negotiations worogoingon tiiat Davis
and liis cabinet wore near by , and that
ono of them , Air. Hrcckmrldgo ,
was present at the conference. The terms
agreed upon between Sherman and
Johnston bound nobody unless they were
ratillcd by the government at Washing
ton , and the abuse winch WUB hcancd
upon the head of Con. Sherman at that
time by people who could not under
stand the situation from his btandpoint
should Imvo sulliced without this fresh
outburst. The Sun's implication con

RUSTLERS IN ARIZONA.
Sotno of tlieMfttly Customs or the
Southwest states.
Chicago Ivjwet "Things nro not
quite so bail Jn.t"0 southwest as they
wore a fewyehrS/igo / , " observed a Now
Mexican cattleman to n News reporter.
It was lively ihnry there just before the
completion ol , uio Alt-bison. Topeka &
Santa Fo end the Southern Pacific rail
roads. There was Hilly the Kid , whoso
name is Inimdtjtallzetl in many a dime
novel , terrorizing the entire county of
Lincoln ; tlio ( Canton gang of 'rustlers , '
stealing and killing on both sides of the
boundary lind , and little Jimmy Hughes ,
the pet of the San Simon , raising sheol
in the mining camps of the Pyramid
mountains.
"Hilly the Kid , whoso real name was
Antrim , was a. desperado almost from
his cradle , and had actually killed seven
men before he was 17 years old. ilo was
employed by tbo catflc kings of the I'ceos
valley , as the Chlstim outlit was called.
together with about a dozen other hard
characters , to prevent settlers taking up
land on the 1'ecos river , and thus enable
a few men to control ono of the most fer
tile stretches of country iu the southwest.
The Pccos valley is about ono hundred
miles in length , oxtc'idiug from Lincoln
county , Now Aioxico , in a northeasterly
direction over the bonier line into Texas.
Until a few years ape it was virtual jy the
domain of John Cliisum and his friends ,
and although desperate cflbrUwcro made
bv the county olliccrs to protect settlers
on the I'eoos , they wore all more or less
abortive. Sheriff William Bradv , who
has made himself conspicuous in trying
to uphold the law , was murdered in cold
blood by the Kid on the public pln/.a in
the town of Lincoln. The Kid and his
companions were in ambush behind tlio
wall of a corral , and the lirst notice
Brady had of their presence was the
death volley by which no was killed. A
companion named Hindman was mor
tally wounded. After Brady's death no
one could bo found bravo enough to act
a.s sheriff , and for months no process was
served in the county.
"At length a line young settler named
Marion Turner -took tiio olliee and suc
ceeded in capturing the Kid. who was
tried before Judge Bristol , of the second
judicial district , and was sentenced to
death. He was confined in tlio Lincoln
jail , an old adobe building , and in the
absence of bis guards ho managed to get
into the armory , which was without a
good lock. Here ho obtained a six-shooter
anil a shotgun belonging to Deputy
United Slates Marshal Olingor. Ilo
killed a deputy sheriff named Hrady with
the pistol and Olingor with the shotgun ,
secured a horse and rode out of town.
No one dared stop him. Turner was
succeeded aa sheriff by 1'at Garrott. now
nn extensive cattle owner on the rccos.
Tlio Kill threatened that the next man ho
would kill was Garrett , and Garrctt de
termined to exterminate him. Ho started
cunning for him , and never stopped until
he ran tlio Kid down near Fort Stunner ,
and laid him out coldcr'n a wedge. This
was in 1882.
"This , " continued tlio cattleman , "gave
peace to Lincoln 'county , and transferred
tlio scene of our roubles to the south
western cornp'r o'f New Mexico , where it
borders ou Arizona. This place , known
as Clovcrdalo , was , from 1880 until about
two years aso , headquarters for as bad a
gang of 'ritstferaWtnd horse and cattle-
thieves ns ever disgraced a country. Its
leader was Jko ( Canton , a watchmaker.
who preferred } to bo a cattle-thief.
Among his fnllbwors were Curly Bill.
Cactus Bill , Jolfnny-Ovor-thc-Fence , aim
a lot more of Ujef > anie stripe , all of whom
were wanted in "some state or other. The
Cl unions ( there wore two brothers ) had
taken up a J-'iyujh at Cloveidalo. which
was well adaftbifl for stock-stealing on
tiio largest pcfilui Being right on the
boundary of old Mexico , Now Mexico and
Arizona , tho.y conld jump from ono terri
tory into another , hud from tlio United
States into Mexico , or vice versa It is
just at the entrance to Guadalpupo can
yon , through which tlio United States
troops enter Mexico on their Indian
raids. At lirst the gun only stole Mexi
can cattle , which they left on the Clover-
dale ranch until they had a chance to
drive them to the San Carlos reservation ,
where they were sold to the Indian agen
cy. When they stole American stock
they had more trouble , as it was necessa
ry to remove the owners' brands. "
"How is this done ? "
"Tho process is simple enough. A
piece of an old blanket is taken and
dipped in water. It is then wrung out
and placed over the brand. A common
frying-pan is heated red-hot nnd pressed
against the wet blanket. The steam gen
erated scalds the hair clean off , and after
nwliilCj when it grows again , a new
brand is put on. Cattle thieves have also
a kind of branding iron by which they
can change a number of brands. This
branding iron lias built up many a res
pectable fortune in tlio southwest.
"Curly Bill Avas considered about the
worst of the Clinton gang. Ho is a well
educated , gentlemanly young fellow and
very pleasant iu manner , when ho hasn't
got too much cowboys' cordial on board.
Then ho 'whoops it up' with the wor&l of
them. Ho started in to paint the town of
Shakespeare red on one occasion , and
after lining up with whisky , gave o din-
play of his skill with his stx-bhooter. He
knocked the spot out of the ace of hearts
that another of the gang , Jake Wallace ,
held up for him , and at twenty paces lie
shot a half-dollar from between Jake's
thumb and forefinger. There was a sol
dier on leave from Fort Bowie looking
on , and Hill asked him to hold the coin.
The soldier consented , and Bill struck it
again. Ho asked thcboldicr to hold It up
once more , and at tlio second lire , ho shot
the poor fellow's right thumb oil' . Then
ho quietly remarked * 'I reckon you've
got your discharge in full. ' "
' Did the ollieorrf novcr make an qfl'ort
to stop this kind of amusement ? "
"Well , to commence with , there wore
not many otlleers that cared for the job ,
and some of the ollicorn were very little
butter than tlio rustlers. There was old
Hoodoo Brown , justice of the peace of
Albuquerque , for example. Hu ran Ids
olliee .just for the coin in it , and pcacea-
bio citi/.ciiR were arrested and lined on
tiio most frivolous pretenses , while well-
known euMllr'aus walked round town
with the justiilo.fiiV poor young tondoiv
foot from St , Lou s got full ono night and
was brought ooforo the justice for exam
ination. Ilo fildicllod tlmt it was the first
time ho had evorbeon arrested in his life.
and told BrtAvn that ho never would
again bo loutd ! > iif a like position. 'Young
man , 'mild Koodoo. 'I'm ashamed of you.

yo had told ini | Ui | ( you would bo a cus

Tlio HnimHilK House Joke ,
"Oh , mammA'said tlio landlady's
daughter. "Mrirumley ; .has just paid
mo buvh a compliment ! "
"Indeed , " replied tlio landlady , severe
ly. "I wisli ho would pay me something.
What was the compliments"
"Ho said that the picture of the brace
of quails which I have just finished for
the dining-room Js done so artistically
that the very .sight of it gives him an ap
petite , "
"H'm ! You take that picture down at
once and hang it in my room. "

Detroit Free Pre.-s : "When I lived in
Kansas " fcaid M-lio tolling
, a petroitor , was
ing storit'3 in an insurance ollico a few-
days ago , "I insured my house with an
agent against lire. Along came another
agent who iiihurcd against lightning , and
I. took that in. In u few days a chap
called on mo who insured against oy
clones , and 1 * > trttrk a bargain with him.
Tho- next 6allor insured against water
spouts nnd explosions , and I thought I
might as well cncour.igo him , "
"A house couldn't bo much safer than
that , " remarked ono of the listeners. "
"And yet I lost It inside of six mouths. "
"How could it bet"
"Well , there came a freshet in the
river , and house , barn , fences , haystacks
anil all wont sailing down stream. The
agent who insured against freshets got
there just ono day too lato. "

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette ! A
government ofllcml has been at pains to
prepare a little table showing how much
it lias cost the government to keep the
Vance family , of North Carolina. They
have been wull taken care of ns 'the fol
lowing table will show :
55. B. Va'hcc , United Stales senator ,
salary 5,000.
11.1) ) , Vnncp , his son , commissioner of
patents , $4,500.
C. F. Vance , son , clerk to tlio senator ,
$2,100.
It , B. Vance , Jr. , son , geological sur
vey , 5000.
W. G. Vimco , cousin , in the treasury ,
§ 1.800.
T. H. Vance , cousin , in the postouicc
department , $1,000.
J. Vance , cousinMississippi river com
mission , 15805.
lliohnrd Vance , cousin , army , ? 1COO.
II. Vance , cousin , Mississippi river
commission , $1,800.
13. Vance , cousin , department of justice
$1.200.
David N. Vance , cousin , internal reve
nue , $ -125.
A. H. Vance , cousin , government
printing oflico , $000.
A. P. vance , army , $720.
13. Robinson , nephew , jingo in the
senate , $000.
Hall , nephew , page lu the house ,
$900.
McDonald , cousin , in the govern
ment printing olliee. $720.
This makes a total of sixteen persons ,
and a total salary list of $25.320. Some
body ought to introduce a bill for the re
lief of thu Vance family on the ( jovorn-
incut.
Two other senators are as well pro
vided , and the total salary account of
relatives of senators would foot up nn
amazing amount.
Is It Kcully CoiiHiiiiipliou ?
Many tv case supposed to bo radical
lung disease is really one of liver com
plaint and indigestion , but , unless that
diseased liver can bo restored to healthy
action , it will so clog the lungs with cor
rupting matter as to bring on their speedy
decay , and then indeed we have con
sumption , which is scrofula of tlio lungs ,
in its worst form. Nothing can bo moro
happily calculated to nip this danger iu
the bud than is Dr. 1'iorco's " ( Joldcu

"Yes. "
"With free lunch thrown in ? "
"Yes. "
"Well , what moro do you want ? Some
