Despite the cloud that hangs over thu closing days of Sum Houston's lite, have always entertaineJ a strong aamiravion lor the nero ot an Jacin to. I am fully oonsious of hit weak nesses, soma of which are quite glar Mig; but he bad a certain pluck, Jucksoman stubborDoss which com mauilud the respect even of his eiii'iiiiu8. There is Tan incident of Sam Hou ston's career that is not uonerallv Known, out winun urings o.ut as prominently as any act of his life, that sterling courage lo which I refer, and at the same time brings into notice one of the most extraordinary men of whom I ever heard who ia the person kuown as deaf Smith, the Texas spy, and intimate friend ot Sam Houston. At the time Texas succeeded in es tablishing her independence, the con stitution provided that Austin should be the permanent capilol, where the publio archives were to be kept ; but the provision was inserted giving the President discretionary power to re move it temporarily to some safe point in case of danger trom the inroads of a foreign euemy, or the power of a sudden insurrection. About two years after tho Texas revolution, the warlike Comanches became t o daring as to commit several outrages in the sight, of the capital it sell, whereupon Houston considered the condition ot mutters warranted his availing himself of tho provisions already mentioned. He resided at that time at Washington, on the Brazos from which he despatched a messenger with an order commanding his subordinate functionaries to stud the records to that place, and which he announced to he the seat of gov ve. nnient pro tempore. This produced the most intense ex citement iu Austin, The hotel keep ers, grocers, boarding houses and gambling saloons foresaw irrelriev able ruin. They gathered together and denounced the proposed "out rage." Gradually tho mutterings took shape; until, despite the consti tutional warranty for the step, it was resolved that the thing should not Le done. A mass meeting of the citizens and farmers of thu neighborhood was held, and the most fiery and incendiary speeches were made. When the feel ings of all were worked up to the proper pitch it was unanimously re-, solved to prevent the execution of the mandate by armed resistance. A company oi armeu men was organ ized on the spot. At their hvuil was one of the most noted duelists iu the country. He had achieved quite a lame during the war just closed, ami wis unquestionably a bravo man, and as unprincipled as he was desperate. lie was a man ot no littio importance, and it was with no little pride that ho took charge of the men, who uuan- motixly called upon him to be their eader. So noted was Colonel "Morton that i greiit many were convinced that when Gen. Houston learned that he headed his determined band lie would retrace his grourd and recall the of fending command but they mistook the mettle of the old hero. Colonel Morton, puffed up with his brief authority, declared that it the President did succeed id removing the records by power ot overwhelm ing numbers, he would, hunt him down like a wolf, and slay him wher- ver he found turn, whellier on tho treets or in the bed. lie went so far as to send him a letter to this effect here is the identical answer he re ceived: " If the people of Austin do not send the archives, I sliall instantly come and take them j and if Colonel Morton can kuu me ne ia w elcome to my ear caps. Sam Hoistos." On the reception of this answer the excitement became greater than ever. The guard was doubled around the .State House, and picked sentinels were stationed along the road to the capital, the mili ary paraded trom morning till night,-a caucus of the ringleaders was held in the city hall. Everything threatened a coming stjrni. Thus mattcis stood for several days, when th caucus at the city hall was Htariicd by the sudden arrival ot a strsiiger among them. He did n it knock at the door nor attempt to ask admission there, but climbed, uu noticed, with the celerity of a mon key, a small oak which atood beside the wall, and without a word of warn inir sprang through a lofty window ami landed in the very room where the caucus was assembled. The stranger was clad in buckskin, tarried a long and be.ivy rifle in h'w hand, wore at the bottom of hit u pender an immrnie bowie knife and held in his heavy belt a couple ot enormous pistols. Hef was very tall, thin, and straight a an arrow ami at Iiihe and supple as a panther, with a swarthv complexion, long, black hair a rigid, lron llkt COUUltuautc, ejea v. iglilterins Hackneys, and at pit rcingj as tho point of a stiletto. His sud den npptarance among them was so startling '.hat they instiuclively grasped their arms, "Who are you that comes, among gontlenifu uninvited?" thundered Col. Morton, staring at him feroci ously. 1 1 ho stranger turned his black eyes upon hi n and stared at him, but the only ansver he made wts by placing his tinge? upon his lips. "Who are vou ? Speak, or I'll run you through!" shouted Morton, driven to fury by the cool, contemptuous gaze ot the other, who now took his finger from his lips and placed it upon his knife. The exasperated colonel drew back his dagger and was advancing upon tho stranger, when several interposed aud held him back. "Leave him alone, Morton. Don't Webb to the you see ho is crazy ?" At this juncture Juilgo stepped forward and spoke stranger in a kiudly, respectful man ner. "My good friend, I suppose you nave maile a mistake. Ihisisa vate meeting, to which none members are admitted." The stranger did not seem to un derstand the words, but he did tho conciliatory n.auner. His iron fila tures relaxed somewhat, aud stepping to a table where were implements of writing, he took up a pen and rapuilv traced these words: "I am deaf.5' He then held up tho paper as a natu ral apology for his seeming discour tesy. "Will you be ki.id cuough to in form us what your business is with this meoting ?" Tho stranger answered this ques tion by handing a letter to the judge, whoso superscription was "To the citizens of Austin." Tho seal was broken and it was road aloud ! " Fellow Citizkns : Though in error and deceived hy the acts of traitors, I will give you throe more days to decide whether you will surrender the publio archives. At the end of that time you will please let me know your decision. Sam Houston." After the letter was load, the deaf man waited a few moments for a re ply, and turned to leave the hall. At this moment Colonel Morton inter posed with a lowering I row, and beckoned him to the table. The stranger obeyed. Col. Morton then wrote : "You were brave enough to insult mo by your threatening looks ten minutes ago; aro you brave enough to give me satisfaction V" The stranger instantly penned tho reply : "I am at your service." The Colonel again wrote: "Who will bo your second';1" This was the answer: "I am too generous to seek an ad vantage, aud loo bravo to fear one on the part ot others ; I therefore .never need the aid of a second." Morton wrote: "Name your terms." The stranger wrote without a mo ment's hesitation : "Time, sunset this evening; place, the left bank of the Colorado, oppo site Austin; weapons, r.fles; distance, a hundred yards. Don't lail to bo on time." Thu last aentcuce was not calcu lated to soothe tho feelings of the ir ritated colonel, and he compressed his lips as he read it. The next moment the stranger strode across the floor aud disappeared through the window ia the same man ner he had entered. "Is it possible that you are going to fight that man?" exclaimed Judge Webb. "He is a mule if not a mini ac. Such a meeting, I fear, will tar nish the lustre of your laurels." "You aro mistaken," said the colo nel, with a smile. ''That mifte is a hero whose fame stands in the rec ords of a dozen battles, and as many bloody duels. Besides, he is the fa vorite emissary and bosom fitend of Houston. If 1 have the good fortune to kill him, I think the President will return hi vow against venturing any more on the field of honor." "You must know him. Who is he?" aked several. Deaf Smith." "Impossible! It cannot be. Deal Smith was slain at San Jacinto," re plied Judge Webb. "There aain yo our honor i mis ulii-n aai l Morton. "The etory ot Smith's death is a mere fiction, gotten up by Housten for the purpose of naving his frend from the veugenceof several Texans, on whose conduct he had acted the part of a spy. I learned the artifice a year ago." "Thi n you are a madman, yourself, colonel. Deaf Smith was never known to miss his mark. He has been knowu to have brought down raveus in their flight, and has picked off Comanches and Mexican at a diatsnco of two hundred vards." "The thing is settled. I fancy I can do a little of that business raj ell" "But for God's" sake, presisted the iuk'p. bctominsr excited, kl don't wtDt you to be murJered." "Who is going to bo?" asked the colonel, as ho smoked his cigar aud smiled in his usual way. iv ny, you, it you undertake to fight Deaf Smith." "This thing is all arranged, as said a few moments aiio. and wouldn't back out it I was certain to he(. shot, for. what ia death lo dis honor." Such was tho absurd sentiment in Texas at tho time, and such, wo fear, is too prevalent among civilized na tions. Toward evening a largo crowd as cemblcd at the placo appointed for tho meeting, and so reckless were the peoplo regarding the issue nt stake a human life, perhaps two that there were nil manner of jokes, and not a few wagors laid upon the result. At length, as the sun sank below tho horizon, tho two mortal antago nists appealed on tho open space, and stood back to back. At tho waving of thu handkerchief they began pac ing ofVi'rom caoh otLer, both step ping exactly together, as it they were keeping time lo the tap of a drum. They completed tho distance at tho same instant, when they wheeled so far as to f iuo each other, aud fired as soon as possible. As they were separated by a con sidorable, distanoe, tl.ey raised their rifles and paused a momeut to take aim. The pause was long enough for the crowd lo glance from ono lo thu other, and note tho expression of their faces. Colonel Morton was calm and smiling, but tho smile was a murder ous one far more torriblo than tho severest scowl could be. Deaf Smith, however, was as rigid and passion les as' ever. His profile might have been supposed to have been cut in stone, So expressionless was it. The former was atlirod in the finest broad cloth, and the other in a smoke-tinted leather. I Tin- uext instant both ntlos cx ploded simultaneously. Colonel Mor ton gavo a smothered shriek, cpriing upward, and fell to the ground dead. Deaf Smith stood unmoved and began reloading his ride, which being dono ho turned away and disappeared iu the adjoining forost. Three days after, Gonoral Houston, accompanied by Deaf Smith and ten other men, made their nppcarauco in Austin, and without further opposi tion removed the State papers. Deiif Smith, as I remarked before, wts one of tho most extraordinary men ever known in the west. Ho appeared in Texas at an early period, a-id resided there until his death, which occurred over a dozen years eft or. He had uvuiy ardent friends, but noth ing definite was ever learned regard ing his former I i lb. Whether he ever acquainted Houston with it was never known, for the old hero never enligh tened anyone, as fur as I can learn, upon the matter. When Deaf Smith was questioned upon tho matter, he laid his finger upon his lips, and if pressed, his dark ryes gave such a rebuko that no one dare question him further.- Although deprived of tho ficulty of hearing, nature, as it is often the case, seemed lo compensate him by giving him an eye as keen and far-reaching as an eaglu's and a smell as perfect as a ra ven's. He could discern Comanches so far on the prairio that ihey were invisible to the eye of the most ex perienced rangers, aud his friends de clared he could scent a Mexican when miles away. Gifted in this extraordinary man ner, it will bo seen that he possessed iust the qualities lo nuke him a sue- i S1... -.i i.: ..:..... t. lf- cessilll spy j mm iiib suri iu;s sw aauuo- ton during the Texan war for inde pendence were invaluable. He gen erally went alone, aud very rarely failed to obtain tho information re quired. He had many erratic habits No persuasion could induce him to sleep under the roof of a house. With his blanket wrapped around him ne loved lo lie out in the open air, under the star-gemmed firmament. When not engaged as, a spy, he lived by hunting and was ollen absent for months on his excursions. He was a genuino son of nature, at home only when upon the prairies or in the woods, or when engaged in the thrill ing excitement of the hnnt, or the more fiery thrill of the clash of arms and the roar of battle. Shut out by his infirmity from tho close compan ionship of friends, he had made the inanimate things of earth hie friends. Wherever there was water or land, barren rocks or tangled brakes of wild cane, there was Deaf Smith' home, and there he was happy; but in the street of great cities, in all the great thoronghfarss of men, w herever there was flattery or fawning. bao cunning orgraveu fear, there Deaf Smith was id alien and exile.

They have dwarfed themselves to the cau cus and tho convention, They have stooped to the low work of distribute ing patronage until they can reach no higher. Perhaps it would bo correct to nay that they naturally and exact ly fit tho caucus aud convention and that they are just upon a level with the business ot office distribution. In either event they shut out from pub lio life men who might bocome states of a largo growth. A number of tramps were ordered out of a chestnut tree by Louis Scha ler, a farmer of Saulsbury, Pa.
