playing a soft, low accompaniment, sang

A IWble Relic of Ie Site
The Tallahassee (Fla.) FhrUllan saT
A few years ago, about two miles cast of
Tallahassee, was found a pondcronsspur,
of unique and curious workmanship, the
like of which lias not been seen in uiod
orn times. The burr was one aud a half
inchea in diameter and the liar propor
tionately heavy. On cither side of tho
rowcll Jangled small pendant bells, that
gave forth a tinkliugsound inrwponscto
each stop of tho wearer doubtless some
steel clad and bonneted warrior of the
long ago. Not many iIavs since, while
parties were plowing near the identical
stot, a soinl ami shapeless mass was
turned up, which, upon clo;er cxamina
tiou, prmed to be an iron stirrup of an
cient pattern, as heavy and massive in
proportion as tho spur sjokcn of first,
and firmly imbedded in a thick coating
of clay aad rust. 'When this was re
moved the stirrup was found to bo in a
remarkably good stato of preervation.
Tho side represented two l.thiopian
figures standing ujon tho foot-rest, lean
ing lorwani lacmgcacii oincr, wuuc uiey
support with outstretched arms what
forms tho top of the stirrup, or that part
which is connected with leather, iwnn-
liko aro both thoo relics to anything
known to the generations of this day and
time, and both being so near tho samo
place, it is not unreasonable to ascrilo
them to tho same era and individual. .or
is tho supposition at all improbablo that
ono of the knightly followers of Do Soto,
lured on through this then unknown re
gion and wilderness, like that dauntless
son of Spain, by a thirst for tho yellow
heaps cf clcaminc cold that loomed up
ahead of them in vain visions and heated
fancies, hero foil a victim to tho toma
hawk and scalnins-knifo of tho wroBKed
and revengeful red man;, aad no doabt
somo one of tho Tallahassee tribe, of
which Tiaer Tail claimed to bo a deevnd-
ant. boasted, as ho displayed at his lielta 2
yet bloody scalp, that ho had "killed a j
jxole-face.
XbfurtttBeor a r.actnal Xau.
Ho said nothing but led mo into the
dining-room, and my family,
arrayed in traveling cwtame, hats on",
dinner en ten, was waiting fua mc. And
th baggage, they told mo, was
all tuckod. Ami moro than that
it had all gone down to the dojmt, and
was there now. And they were all ready
and worn only waiting for mo. And on
the top of all this the faithful clock pro
claimed tltat it was two minutes patt
train time.
Tow, you see, ever since we left Bur
lington I had been playing "old traveler
with my confiding family. When thoy
wera nervous about the baggago I
sniffed and told them to lie calm and not
i worry about the baggago while I was
! running things; accent heavy on the I.
j Whoa they timidly wondered if we
weren't running too fat I yawned and
' said if we didn't run faster than this we
I would never get there, and then told
what time wo made there ono time when
j I came in on No. 3, with Hilly Pntaam
j running tho train aad Ed. McCIintock in
j in tho cab. When they suggested that I
should ask the clerk at the hotel about
the time thu train left, I loftily said that
j if 1 didn't know more about tho railway
! trains of the United States than any hotel
j clerk in America, I would travel by canal
j boat.
And hero I stood, wilted, nersnirin?.
humiliated, "sot down" upon, left.
The girls were merciful. They wore
magnaaimoui. Ther didn't say muah
about it. They simply mode it le gen
eral topic of conversation that afternoon
aad evening, and I think her little
rne highness spoke of it once or twice
during tho night. I did not enter into
the spirit of tho conversation Tory
heartily. I do not thiak I comprehended
its faltae- very thoroughly. I endeav
ored to cultivate a facial exprenwm of
serene resignation and martyr-like forti
tude. Aud I really stood "it very well
natit Sabbath morning, when 1 had the
, prince en tar lap. tms? to teach hint a
, httU hvmn and he raised h blae eves
to w faeeasd msrmnred. "Pia left."

wharf a khott time iaee, when a boy of
twelve fell oS and weald haTe met with
a watery grate had it not been for the
eaorgy and proence of mind of Uncle
Mo. As the 1xt Tiu aafdy liadcl, a
byUMler took occaion to "praise old
3W for the heroua he had difbye.l.
"I the boy yonr on"' asked a sympa
thetic pettor. "So. boM; bit he
