James Davidson.
When n Rood man (elides to the land of
sleepers tbe community loses an ornament
a benefactor, and a citizen. Leading a long
and useful life, respeoted as a citizen and
honored as a man, our loss seems a double
one. When, however, the full-blown rose
tails, we weep nor, Decanse It nasfulnlled ita
mission. So tbe good man, in passina from
n world of sorrow lo one of ppaco. James
Davidson was born lu 1702, in Kentucky, in
a then almost wlldorness, known since as
Barren county. He passed his youth nt
home, on tho farm. uer now G1iikow, and
re celveil the rudiments of an KagUb educa
tion In a log school-house, tho only kind
then that adorned the wilds of Hear Wallow,
Mammoth Cave, lUrren, and Green Klver
regions. In this splendid couutry lie passed
his boyhood, inheriting a line constitution
and a tlno intellect. Foroincst with tho ritle,
foremost In school, and foremost In tho chase,
he grew up with n vigorous physical orKaul
zitlon. In tho war of 1S12-'15 he was among
the Kentucky volunteers who fought tho
Btltish aud Indians on the Thatns, in Can
ada, when 'fecum'eh lell and Proctor ran
away. Ilttiruhi home, he etigaged lu the
active service of life, btcomiug a vigorous
and efficient business uiau. In 1817 he mar
ried Miss Amelia Anient, of Blue Springs
Barren co., Kentucky. He, with his bride,
moved to Qreensburg, on Green river, in
Green county, Kentucky, and was actively
engaged In building up the then littlo town
of Groensburg. In 1823 ho wont with his
family, two sons and a daughter, to Nash
ville. Tennessee, where he bought property
and built extensively, and was making mo
ney fast, when his oldest daughter, Lauret
ta, died. Disconsolate for the loss of his
child, he went to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1829,
but01slikedthethon,Bs it was called, French
hole. Iu 1830, he went to Carrollton, Illi
nois, where many of his relatives were II v.
ing. He purchased a farm near Carrollton,
and lived there for six years.
In 1S3C he was amonc tbe pioneer settlors
of Burlington, in the Black Hawk Purchase,
now Iowa. He was .Ttisdce of the Peace
there for souio years, discharging its duties
rightfully and honorably. He bought ex
tensively of town property, buildlnc a lino
brick block m the most central location of
that now splendid city. He also bought and
improved a tine tract of land in the Missis
sippi bottom, twelve miles north of Burling
ton. Here he and his family lived several
years, eiifoyinir all tho blessincs afforded by
the rich alluvial toll, inndo by tho dobrls of
tiiat great river, tno father or Waters."
Though this was a noble f.u-m, it was sickly,
and hero ho lost a beloved daughter, Mary.
In sorrow for bis child, ho returnod to liur
llugtou, buyins nineteen acrci adjoining
town, making a beautilul "rural home."
With this and his fino brick block iu tho
city, ho lived comfortably, educatlnc his
sons and daughters, Bnd rendoring himaolf
useiui in evory uocorauio way as a citlzon.
In 1815, his two sons, A. F. Davidson and
J.iuios O. Davidson, being lull of advonturo,
started for Oregon in April, and, after a long
and arduous trip over tho plains, airivod in
the Willamette valley In September follow
ing. A. F. Davidson traveled tho entire win
ter of lSlo-'G through tbe Willamette valley,
drawing maps,and making notes of tho 'Gar
den of the Pacltlo Slope,' returning to Bur
lington in the fall of 1S46. Thero he deliv
ered lectures on Oregon, the route, Indians,
etc. The result was, a tine emigration camo
out In 1847, called tbo " Iowa emigration. "
James Davidson, of Burlington, was weal
thy, and splendidly situated, but sold
his ' rural home" and town property,
and in tho spring of 1817 started for Oregon.
His son, A. F. Davidson, having been to Or
egon, and knowing tbe route, no fears wero
entertained ingoing to that then far-off coun
try. Haying made all tho arrangements for
tho trip, Mr. Davidson, with his wile, his
sons, A. F. Davidson, Charles H. Davidson,
and T. L. Davidson, n boy, and his daugh
ters Laurlndn J. Davidson, and Fauule, n
child, and W.S. Barker, who had married
the oldest daughter, Aurolia Anne, all left
for the Paoiilo slope. Leaving Burlington,
Iowa, April, 1847, they camo over tho long
journey with mulo and ox teams, arriving at
Salem, Oregon, in October following, mak
iugnearsix months on the road. Now, tho
"Iron horso" snorts over tho plains in a
week I What a revolution! All in thirty
years! The routo to Oregon then wasardu
ons, requiring energy, patience, courage,
and groat command. All thc3o noblo qual
ities Air. Davidson possessed In a high de
gree Ho enjoyed tho scouory on tho long
road. Tho MisHOiui river, tho prairies of
now Kansas, tho lteptibllcau and Illuo riv
ers, Platto river, Its plains, its slmllow, Msn
dy waters, the buft'.tlo, antelope, and other
game, tho littlo dog towns, Ash Hollow, the
Sioux Indians on Platto, tho Castlo Chim

And, then, another portion of tho route
deserve 'i cur attention. It Iscallfd IhoSouth
ern, or "Applegato's routo." This route Mr.
Iuvldfon camo through to tbo Willamette,
At a urejui oillod then Cigar Creek, two or
iMinpj below the American falls ot Sriako
uner, mo umilonui road turns oil couth,
and tho Oregon road keeps on down tho reeky
plalu to tho FiHg-, and down Soafco ilvor.
'i lie California road passes tho hoadwatoiHcf
(Joo-ocrtok and Hock crtek, thenco down
the branches ot Humboldt Into that splendid
valley. Tho Humboldt was then a wild laud,
lull of Indians, sago brush, tall grasi, and
huge masses of granltn. It has every an-
peiranco of being an old bashi, far olderthan
tho mountains around it. Thiazide of tho
inl: of tho Humboldt, the Oregon road runs
oil west, over a mudy, rocky desert, for foriy
milen, to Black ltock; thence to Canon oroek,
Goosb lake, Pitt lake. Losl river, Klamath
lake, Klamath river, Itoguo river valley, a
lovely country, then Grave cre6k, tbe Can
yon, Umpqua; south and norlh forks, the
Calapooia mountains, aud last the Willam
ette, ino uHauiuui laua. The reason ho had
for going the Southern routo was, he desired
to sen Humboldt valley, Gooso lake, Klam
ath, Itogue river, Umpqsa, ito. His curiosity
was gratilled. The Indians were quite bad
on Humboldt, running oft nd killing some
cattle. At or near Black ltock many cattle
were lost In tho night drive. Some of them
were found next day. This wan an awful
drive, terrible on men, women, and chil
dren, and death to many valnabln anlninlii.
Black ltock will long be remembered by tho
emigration of '. At Klamath lake, the In
dians attacked tbe company in tbe night,
wounding many cattle and shooting Henry
Williamson wlih an arrow In thejwriet. The
company wero attackod by Indians in a lit
tle hollow near Grave creek. Tho arrows
p4od through several wairon covers. Inlnr.
nig no fine. Several dojr,s wreeton tho In
dians In tho brush. Tho Indians left, but
the dogs came back with arrow in n...,
Arriving at the celebrated Canyon celebra
ted for woe endured by emigrant nr M0 tbe
company camped and every able-bodied
man worked for three days on the road
tfan ufcb tbe Canyon, and In the one day tbe
most of the company came through to South
Umpqua.
Captain Scott, an old pioneer nnd settler of
Umpqua, was tbe pilot from Fort Hall to
tbe Willamette. Scott was a good man; full
of energy and from his knowledge of the
route, of great srrvlce the emigrants of '47.
Mr. Davidson was well pleased with Rogue
river valley and Umpqua; and so well
pleased with tho Willamette that he at once
pronounced it the "Garden of tho Pacific
Slope." He settled In Salem and bought
largely of ton u property. He settled inba
Inn and bought largely of lawn property.
Hn also bought a claim of GI0 acres of land
ntar Salem, lived on it for four consecutive
years, and procuro a patent from tho Gov
ernment. Ills son, T. L. Davidson, now
lives on the old homestead.

Tho Death of tho Eirat Napoleon.
Tho London TVwie. puhlishos Iho fol
lowing story told by au old wUllue who
was ouo of the guards of Napoleon I.
at St. Helena:
"Boney was tho fattest man I over
saw tho calves of his legs, and his
clieeks too, you might seo them shako
us ho was walking and yet ho laid not
tho ruddy, healthy look ourpcoplo had.
Ho would carry u stick, about us thick,
witli nn iron spud nt tho end. and if ho
saw a weed ho would always spud it
up, nnywnero no went. jour niglits
out of bovou I was on sentry, nnd
would full asleep while walking, und
stray off tho path; and then my hair
would stand on end with fright and
rniso my cap, for I know if I woro
caught napping I was safe for threo
hundred lashes. I havo heard men
say that tholr sufferings from want of
rest in Ht. Helena wero more trying to
them than tho hardships of a cam
paign. "Napoleon died on tho fitti of May
1821. Two priests wero in attendance.
Wo who hnd to lift tho body wero not
allowed to touch tlio coffin until a priest
had sprinkled us with holy water. Wo
started nt threo o'clock. Tho coffin
was vory heavy. Wo carried it six at
a time, and tho men that wero lowest
down In carrying him suffered all tho
punlshmont. I was ono or these. All
tho garrison was twseiubied about tho I
Emperor's quarters and followed him
to tho grave, tho bands playing a dead
march. It was reported thnt Napoleon
had requested to bo buried with the
honors of royalty, twenty-ono guns;
but tho governor ordered nineteen guns
to bo fired, tho number assigned to a
general. Wo carried tho body whero
a cart with oxon could not go: but in
certain parts of tho distance tno men
wero relieved, and tho body drawn
upon a cart. Tho Koman Catholic
priests who had boon in attendance on
him conducted tho funeral service.
Tho actual funeral took placo at about
0 p. m.
Nine or ten of us lind been employed
for three days in excavating in tho rock
a cavity seven feet deep nnd eight feet
sqare. Tlio rock was blasted nnd where
tho powder had mndo tho sides unoven
it was filled in and tho cavity and
smoothed nil nround. In tho envity
thus made by sappers nnd minors, as
sisted by my own labor nnd thnt of oth
ers, flagstones wero inserted In tho
rock anil formed into a caso or box
which received tho coffin. Tho coffin
was covered ovor with a largo flag,
stone, and tho four corners wore bored
and filled in with melted lead, which
fastened them firmly togothor. Tho
romninder of the excavation was filled
in with tho rubble nnd lovoled, nnd a
mound resembling a common gravo
raised nbovo it. An iron palisading
wns placed round, nnd sentry kept ovor
it night nnd dny until all tho troops
wero withdrawn. Thoy wero grndtt
nlly withdrawn, nnd our rogitnent left
six months nftor tho funeral.
Pkkxch Stkatkov. Whon tho
Frencn wero in Mexico tho stage rob
beries in tho vicinity of Monterey bo
enmo very frequent. With tho practi
cal common senso for which tho French
wero distinguished whon they go about
killing people, tho French (Jonornl nt
Monterey dovised n plan that worked
like a charm. Ho picked outahalf dozen
.ot his smallest Zouaves and dressed
thorn up ns females and put them in
tho stage. Each unprotected fomnlo
had a short bieeeh-loading enrbino con
cealed under his pettipants, nnd thoy
covered their deinuro faces by veils.
Of course tho robbers surrounded tho
stage, and tho ladies, with an excess of
feminine modesty, climbed out of tlio
vehicle, and fell into lino with tho rost
of tho passengers, whon of a sudden
an epidemic broko out among thoso
Mexican patriots, for each lady, on nn
nvorago, destroyed about threo of thotn
and the rest lost all tasto for femalo so
ciety, nnd wont away disgusted. The
Indies returned to town in high glee,
