other help but the dogs. ] have driven that
many sheep along the road six or eight miles,
where it was unfenced, sometimes on one and
sometimes on the other, and sometimes on both
sides, myself being ahead Of the flock, the dog
behind, the sheep 50 strung through tie timber
that perhaps did not sec the dog for an hour
at time.
when the flock got to spreading out fan
shaped, Colonel would go ent and turn in tie
corners, passing up just far enough for hat
purpose, and no farther he used, apparently.
as mach Judgment in passing up the side Of
the flock just so far as would a man. When
he was in doubt about an order, he would step
and look back until the order was repeated.
have many day driven all over the prairie
and taken flock in every direction by walking
or before, leaving him to bring the sheep after
me, without looking at or speaking to him I
could send him two miles out into the prairie
after thousand sheep which were ,, rung for
half mile, and he would collect and drive
them all up to me. / have owned ether dogs
which would do the same, bat none bat hin,
that did not rush the sheep too hard

by other crops. When heraing on piece Of
grass bounded on two or more sides by other
crops, | watched on one side and let bin guard

show himself merely sufficient TO make them
turn their heads in another direction, yet not
enough to frighten them over to the other side
of the field"

fish, white shark, blue or shoyel-nose shark,
were often seen,
There were also fish which resembled plants
and remained as fixed in their position as a
shrub; the only power they possessed was to
open and shut when in danger. Some of them
fesembled the rose when in full bloom, and were
5t ali hues. There were the ribbon fish, from
lour to Eve inches to three feet in length; their
eyes are very large, and protrude like those Of
Gog.
Another fsh was spotted ike the leopard,
from three to ten feet in length. They build
their houses like beavers, in which they spawn,
and The male or female watches the egg until it
hatches. | saw many specimens Of the green
tartle, some five feet long, which should think
would weigh from 100 to 500 pounds.

WHAT Is SAID OF Mr.. LINCOLN, PRIVATELY,
BY HIS FRIENDs.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati CatHohc Teieg7Qph an
ultra Republican, writes as follows TO that jour-
nal:
| write what / know, and without fear OF
successful contradiction, when | inform your
readers that there is not member of Congress,
in Washington, who does not denounce in pri-
vate conversation Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet,
for usurpations that would alarm the country
were they known; and yet when an effort is
made TO expose them, these very members rally
to the support of the Administration. Should
they fail to do SO, their political DEATH as in
The case OF the Hon. Henry Winter Davis and
Senator Wade, is at hand.
He further says:
My letter has already run beyond its proper
length, and yet have scarcely touched upon
the subject | set out to write of. When to the
cotton, turpentine, rosin, tar and tobacco swim
dies, we add the arbitrary arrests, the illegal
usurpations, such as the commissioning Frank
Blair Mujor General without the concurrence
of the Senate, and the establishment Of mill
tary governments against the known win of
Congress. our people may realize that our Gov
eTnment has changed its character, and that our
liberties are in jeopardy.

The Notes of this Third Series are precisely

reserves to itself the option of paying interest
