The wessern Cattle Trade--A
/ -. VeRerable Pioneer.

s--srt v0mgfAOAC 1aOmCCbs - 2
We learn that there is now coming over
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lot Of
sixty-one head of cattle from Southern
Ohio, which are owned by Mr.. George
Senick, of Chillicothe, about whose history
We have gathered some interesting facts,
which We think worthy ofbeing presented
to our readers. - .s..r- ---5- ~.
George Renick, who has been long,
widely and favorably known as success
fol breeder of cattle, was BORN on the 9Th
September 1910, short time after the Dec
laration Of Independence. On attaining
manhood, he emigrated in 1897, to now
Ross City, and from thence, in 1907, to
Ohio and was followed shortly by most of
his relatives, who are successfully engaged
in the same business. 1t is a reEarkaple
fact, and one but little known, that to Mr..
Renick is due the credit of being the first
individual who ever drove fat cattle over
the Alleghenies.t to Baltimore. This be did
as far back IA the year 1905, little dream
ing that be would live TO see the day when
be could transport bis stock over the grand
route in less number ofdays than it took
him weeks. @
The time Mr.. Renick occupied in driving
his cattle over the Aleghenies TO Baltimore
was thirty five days, and on their arrival
here the stock was purchased by Mr. Rusk
and others. This is said 10 be the last 10:
which the pioneer droyer OF the Alleghenies
intends rearing. The stock is very superi-
or, we are informed, and originally consign-
ed to New York, but on the old gentleman
remembering that it was to Baltimore he
consigned bis first cattle, changed their des-
tination, and, availing himself of the ample
facilities now afforded by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company for the transporta-
tion of this description of freight, made
his last consignment to Baltimore. The
manners, dress, customs, DC, of Mr.. Rem
ick are Of the last century, and to illustrate
some of his peculiarities we way mention
that in the latter part of the year 1904, be
paid his first subscription to the National
Intilligencer newspaper, and since that
time to the present has read no other pa,
per-the American part of the time ex-
cepted. He is still in the enjoyment of
good health, and much respected by all
who know him for his probity and urbani-
ly in business transactions, as well as pri-
vate life. When the weather permits the
old gentleman may be seen taking bis ride
to the post office for his Intelligencer, and
althoug gh he is about giving up the rearing
of cattle himself be may yet live to see bis
sons(a also fasorably known in the same bu-
siness) send many a good head of cattle
over the Alleghenies-but not on foot

We give below racy letter from Ten
nessee woman TO her fugitive slave "Jarm,"
who now reioiees in his freedom at Syra-
cuse, N. Y, and is a minister of the Cos
pei, as well as an active Agent of the Un-
derground Railroad. 1t appears that
"Jarm" when he ran away, accomplished
the first stage of bis journey nortbward on a
valuable mare, also chattle of the same
woman, and rode her so bard that he near
ly used her up, The mistress is angry,
and wants pay for either one animal or the
other. Iii needless to say that "Jarm,"
who is now the Rev. ]. w. Logue, declines
to comply,-but hero is the letter:
MAuRY COUNTY, Tenn, Feb. 20, 1860.
To JARM:-I now take my pen to write
you few lines, to let you know how we
all are. am cripple, but am still able
to get about. The rest Of the family are
all well. Cherry is as we'll as common
l write You these lines to let you know the
situation we are in-partly in consequence
of your running away and stealing Old
Rock, our fine mare. Though We got the
mare back, she was never worth much af.
ter you took her; and, as I now stand in
need of some funds, / have determined TO
sell you and / have had an offer for you
but did not see fit 10 takei it. If you will
send me one thousand dollars, and pay for
the old mare, I win giyeup all claim have

these few lines, and let me know if you will
accept my proposition. In consequence
Of your running away We had to sell Abe
and Ann and twelve acres of land; and /
want you to send me the money that /
may be able to redeem the land you was
the cause of our selling, and on the receipt
of the above named sum of sale. If you
do not comply with my request will sell
you 10 some one else, and you may rest
assured that the time is not far distant
when things will be changed with you
Write TO me as soon as you get these
lines. Direct your letter to Bighyyille,
Maury county, Tennessee. You had bet
comply with my request.
l understand that you are preacher
As the Southern people are SO bad you had
better come and preach TO your old ac-
quaintance. / would like to know if you
read your Bible! If so, can you tell what
will become of the thief if be does not re-
pent and, If the blind lead the blind, what
will the consequence be. deem it unnec-
essary to say much more at present. A
word TO the wise is sufficient. You know
where the liar has his part. You know
that we reared you as we reared our own
children; that you was never abused, and
that shortly before you ran away, when
your master asked you if you would like
TO be sold, you said you would not leave
him TO 60 with anybody. @

Worse than Wooden Nuimess

Worse than Wooden Nutmegs.
1t is not TO be wondered at, says the
Richmond Dispateh, that Yankee shoe
makers have to work cheap, when the
character of the stock they use is known,
nor is it at all surprising that the shoes
thus made are Of very little service TO the
purchasers. A fcw evenings since young
lady of this city, finding her feet were
somewhat damp after short walk, sa. BY
the fire TO warm tbem-ef course taking
good care not to scorch her dress CATERS BY
placing them too near the fire. On becom-
ing comfortable, she rose to attend TO some
domestic affairs, and started across The
room, but suddenly discovered that some
thing was wrong about one of her boots
An examination into the cause showed her
that one of her heels was gone, which was
afterwards found lying on the fender
The heel proved to have been made
of some cheap composition, instead of
leather, and becoming warm by the fire,
had melted and left the sole. Wooden
nutmegs and paper shoe soles are some Of
the inventions of Yankee ingenuity, bat
they are entirely thrown into the shade BY
ths substitute for, leather now used in
heeling ladies shoes, s,s~ ~ ..s-sr.f -.

Queen victoria,s Crown.


1t is not known generally. that the crown
wore by Queen Victoria on State occas; ons
was present from the Sons of Malta to
the Royal family, An English paper
gives the following description Of it:
The crown worn by the Queen of Grea.
Britain at the opening of Parliament is
composed Of hoops of silver, which are
completely covered and concealed by pre-
cious stones, having Maltese cross Of dia-
monds ON the top Of it. In the center of
this cross is a magnificent sapphire, in front
of the crown, above the rim, is another
Maltese cross, in the middle of which is
the larger unpolished ruby which once
graced the coronet of the chivalrous Black
Prince, and underneath this, in the circu-
lar rim, is another immense sapphire. The
arches enclose cap of deep purple, or rath-
er blue velvet; and the rim Of the crown,
at its base, is clustered with brilliants, and
ornamented with .,aeurs -de-lis and Maltese
crosses equally rich. There are many other
precious gems = emeralds and rubbies,
sapphires and small clusters of drop perals
of great price. The crown is altogether
valued at over half a million of dollars
Indeed, were it possible to reccollect and
again bring together such precious stones,
this estimate would fall much below the in
trinsic value. The old crown of England,
made for George Ill, weighed upwards of
seven pounds, but notwithstanding this
gorgeous display of jewelry, Independent
of the gold cap, the present crown only
weighs nineteen ounces and ten penny
weights. 1t measures seven inches in
height from the gold circle TO the upper
cross, and its diameter at the rim is five
inches. -

one riece of four pounds gsvs eleven oun-
ces and thirteen dollars; another of four

The Aha California speaks of the arri-
val from these mines of Mr.. Philip Meagh-
er, who had with him a number of speci-
mems of gold quartz. Says the Alta:
One of these weighed between two and
three pounds, and was broken off ad li6ituns
by Mr.. Meagher, from the Maury mine
Il is perfectly filled with gold, so that, it
may as appropriately be called quartz gold
as gold quartz. In fact, the gold is appa-
rent all over and through it. This splen-
did piece is 10 be sent to the Washington
Monument, and will be q splendid ex-

Pacific slope of the continent. There
were also half q dozen smaller pieces,
which, with Che large one, will be exhibited
in this city. Our informant is a perfect
" reliable man, well known in this city,
He says that the story of two men having
taken out $50, 900 is quiet true. He went
into the excavations of both of the mines
the Ish and the Maury-and saw for
himself the wonderful richness Of the pla-.
GERS. 1t was more like scene of enchant-
meut-Aladdin's wonderful lamp, or some
other fanciful creation of the Arabian
Nights-than the reality Of sober facts.

Gold Hill seems to be the head quar-
tiers of the gold, rs none is found along
the Rogue river, above that place, while
below, for many miles, the canons, gulches,
and the banks of the river, have been found
to pay, some as high as ten or fifteen dol
lars to the hand, and Others showing only
the color. The present season has been
an unusually dry one, and this prompted
many men to start out prospecting, for
want of water, when these general discov-
cries were made. After the Maury claim
was discovered, one of the men, who had
been herding cattle at or near Gold Hill,
that the he had found piece
Of quartz on the top of the hill, sometime
before. Ish Company, with a common
arastra, crushed nP four ounces Of gold,
which would make the rock average about

BEEcHER ON SAINT PAUL.-Henry Ware

BEEoHER ON SAINT PAUL-Henry Ward
Beecher said in late sermon:
Paul, to whom something was nothing,
and to whom nothing on earth was very
much; who saw value in everything, and
cared not very much for anything who
knew every pulse of humanity, every
aspect Of experiences, every throb Of joy,
every rack Of anguish, everything that is
in tranquility, everything that is in
disturbance and turmoil; to whom triumph
spared none of its experiences, and defeat
none who lived to the full, and yet 'died
deaths daily" who was the worlds wan
derer, and yet the whole world was his
household; who was abjectly poor, and
immensely rich; who felt all the peltings
of persecution, all the wounds of hatred,
and knew all the quicksands of treachery;
triumphing over enough troubles to have
and who was superior to them all, and rode
sunk armies and empires of common
heroes. If the waves broke over him, he
shook them off his decks easily If they
came like mountains at him, he rose over
them, and came to port safe again
There was no Homer to sing him. His
epic was to be sung in heaven 1t is his
own immortal life that now rolls an eter-
nal melody of joy there in numbers deep
and joy more perfect than is possible to
any earthly sphere. To us remains his
shadow.
