the Liano, and many tributaries of the
Upper Colorado, far above the settle
ments. They differ in form, color and
habits from all the varieties of domes-
tic cattle in Texas. They are invari-
ably of dark brown color, with a
slight tinge of dusky yellow on the tip
of the nose and the belly. Their horns
are remarkably large, and stand out
straight from the head.
Although these cattle are generally
much larger than the domestic cattle,
they are more fleet and nimble, and
when pursued, often outstrip horses
that easily outrnn the buffalo they
seldom venture far out into the prairies,
but are generally found in or near the
forests that skirt the streams in that
section. Their meat is of an excellent
flavor, and is preferred by the settlers
to the meat of the domestic cattle. 1t
is said that their fat is so hard and COM
pact that it will not melt in the hottest
days of summer; and the candles
formed with it are far superior to those
that are formed with the tallow of other
cattle. Some persons have supposed
that it is possible these cattle are dis
tinct race, indigenous to America and
the immense skeletons of species of
fossil OK with straight horns, that are
often found in the beds of the Brazos,
and Colorado, would seem to strengthen
this opinion. But as these cattle are
now found only in the vicinity Of the
old Missions, it is much more probable
that they are the descendants of the
cattle introduced by the early Spanish
adventures.
1t is said that species of wild cattle,
differing from all the domestic breeds
Of the eastern continent, is found in
the Sandwich Islands but it is well
ascertained that this breed is derived
from the domestic cattle that were left
on those islands by Vancouver. These
cattle are so wild that they can only be
caught alive by entrapping them in dis
guised pits. The celebrated botanist,
Douglass, while on a tour in one of
those islands, fell into one of these pits,
and was gored to death by a wild bull,
who had been thus entrapped. Sever
al attempts have been made by the
settlers on the San Gabriel to domesLi-
cate the wild cattle in that sectson, but
they have thus far been unsuccessful
As they are far superior to the domes-
tic cattle OF the country, not only in
size, strength and ability, but also in
the flavor Of their meat and the density
of their fat, they might, if once do
mcsticated, become valuable acquisi-
ton to the agriculturists OF the coun-
try.

The Mistakes Of n Night.
BY JOHN SOCIAL HALL.

Travellers upon Western steamers
are aware, that the main cabin is
bounded on each side, by a continuous
row Of staterooms, which generally
have doors leading to the guards as
well as to the interior.
These state rooms are allotted to the
gentlemen; but when there is an unu-
sual number of lady passengers those
Immediately adjoining the ladies' cab
in. are surrendered to the latter.
We had left New Orleans with a
goodly compliment of the fair sex; ana
although several had gone ashore at
Natchcz, there had still been an aug
mentation of their numbers.
On the third day out, the clerk, Mr..
Neerbad, found it necessary to give a
..notice to quit" to the male tenants
of A and w, two rooms situated
next to the sacred presincts OF the la
dies cabin. New quarters were there
fore assigned to the occupants, and Ia
dies duly installed therein-one in
particular, having the whole monopoly
of letter A. This ordinance, Sin such
cases made and provided" took effect
in that instance early in the evening
and whilst my friend, Mr.. Patrick
O'Bulkly was quietly enjoying the fine
weather and bona fide regalia, upon
the hurricane deck.
By some unaccountable neglect our
prince of clerks failed to notify o.
Bulky of the transfer, for, up to that
inauspicious moment, he had g!oried in
the undisputed possession of the state
room in question.
After having duly discussed his Sc
gar. and admired the wonderful har-
moay of nature, as displayed in the
bright constellation above-which he
viewed through the medium of the en-.
circling wreaths of the smoke and
steam~he, as was his wont, turned his
reflections to the green Isle far over
the sea and "the girl he had left be-
hind him."
That water should seek its level, !:
NOT more infaIlible law of nature, thar
that the mind Of my friend should ev
err. when freed from present cares
fondly recur to the scenes OF his child
hood-to the lass of his choice.
1t was late in the evening, wher
arousing himself from his dreamy ex
i.tence, he descended to the cabin anC
prepared to retire for the night. Now
O'Bulkly, notwithstanding his devo
tion to the distant beauty, cherished al
admiration tor the fair sex generally
perhaps in compliment to her; but Ger

men. He had, moreover, another pc

strains of rapturous ani touching melody. ms

Bre athe forth the swell

Bound by the spell,
List, thy melody to hear.

Such as gentle harp-strings speak
The souls soft means,
Ere the gushing heart-strnss oreaK'

And could wish, to me 'twere gwen

And rise with thee to heaven!

The note thrills past,
But the raptured spirits gone!

The Philadelphia American Sentinel, IN
copying an article from the Wisconsin
Democrat in favor Of an exemption law,
makes the following remarks with regard
TO the NATTER
sit is one OF deep interest to every man
who resides in Wisconsin, or who NAV
hereafter settle in that fourishing region
of country. The principle should be adop.
ted elsewhere. 1t proposes to engraft up
on the new constitution about 10 lie adop-
ted by that State on coming into the Un-
ion, The provisions that forty acre loi.
with the cabin on it, occupied by settler,
shall not in any event be taken from him
upon execution.
The editor thinks, and with great Justice
that il is useless 10 reserve the bed for
The poor debtors il they have no shete to
protect them from the inclemcncy OF wiz
ter storms. A forty acre lot and cabin on
II in Wisconsin, or Iowa, (ic the same pro
vision should be introduced into the consti.
tuition OF Iowa, would be worth about Two
hundred dollars. 1t would be great con,
ISOLATION TO poor man TO know that in nc
event would be driven from home by a
grasping creditor.
The less trust the better in this and ev.
cry other country, or if a man trusts an.
other. il should be upon his integrity. In.
deed the whole system of suing for small
debts should be abolished. 1t is but an en-
CINE TO Cypress the poor; nor does any
man expect. when he trusts another, that
he will have 10 sue for its final recovery,
or he would not allow HIM 10 get into debt.
Suing therefore is an after ;hought, and no
part of the original calculation, at least
so far as relates 10 small debts 1.-THE cash
system could be conveniently adopted, if
no futher than 10 the extent Of two hum
dred dollars, what an amount Of litigation
would be saved TO the community.
