Salt Springs. The Savages of Tula. Their Ferocity. Anecdote. Despondency of De Soto. It is painful to recall the mind from these peaceful, joy-giving, humanizing scenes of religion, to barbaric war its crime, carnage, and misery.
DEMETRIUS in Tula, at the pinnacle of success. The army is his own; the keys of numerous towns are brought to him. Moscow alone appears to offer resistance. He is mild and amiable, testifies a noble emotion at the intelligence of the death of Boris, pardons a detected conspiracy against his life, despises the servile adulations of the Russians, and is for sending them away.
UP to the age of fourteen, when my father died, my childhood was the happiest period of my life. It began very far away from here- in the depths of the province of Tula, where my father filled the position of steward on the vast estates of the Prince P . Our house was situated in one of the Prince's villages, and we lived a quiet, obscure, but happy, life.
From what I learned afterwards from Admiral and B-tov, all of "the rats of Tsarskoye" ran away. Only a few remained with the family: Botkin, Capt. Melnik, Countess G. and her governess, M-e Sch., and Gillard. That's about all I guess that I know of maybe some will join them afterwards. I am so sorry I had to go to Tula when they took the Family.
Tula! continually, which was considered as a watch-word to know each other in the obscurity and confusion of the attack. The Spaniards seized their arms in all haste, invoking the blessed virgin and their patron apostle St Jago for aid, as they were in the utmost peril. In this battle the Indians fought with great clubs, a weapon which had not been seen before in Florida.
At this place the Spaniards found several well dressed cows hides, though they could never learn from whence they came , and likewise other good skins of various kinds. Four days after the arrival of the Spaniards at this place, they were attacked one morning early by surprise by a large party of Indians, in three several places at once, all calling out Tula!
She sank into a chair. 'It's two months. 'And had you been married to him long? 'I had been a year with him. 'Where have you come from now? 'From out Tula way.... There's a village there, Znamenskoe-Glushkovo perhaps you may know it. I am the daughter of the deacon there. Mihail Andreitch and I lived there.... He lived in my father's house. We were a whole year together.
And, secondly, I had an acquaintance in Tula, a horsedealer; I might buy a horse off him to take the place of the disabled shaft-horse. 'The thing's decided! I thought; 'I'll drive over myself; I can sleep just as well on the road luckily, the coach is comfortable. 'I've brought him! cried Yermolai, rushing into the hut a quarter of an hour later.
Maria Nikolaevna talked Russian all the time, an astonishingly pure true Moscow Russian, such as the people, not the nobles speak. 'You've been brought up at home, I expect, in a God-fearing, old orthodox family? she queried. 'You're from what province? 'Tula. 'Oh! so we're from the same part. My father ... I daresay you know who my father was? 'Yes, I know.
To the pines and the mushrooms, to people and ideas. . . . I'd give half my life to bathe now in some little stream in the province of Moscow or Tula; to feel chilly, you know, and then to stroll for three hours even with the feeblest student, and to talk and talk endlessly. . . . And the scent of the hay! Do you remember it?
