The MAMMOTH Gaelic NJ ,nrrr-A on,

The MAMMOTH CATTLE MARIETTA CORE
| spondent of the st. Louis Republican writes of
Abilene, the great cattle market Of the west:
Four years ago the idea was conceived and car
| ried into execution of supplying the west and
north with Texas beef The first drove of cattle
reached Abilene in 1867, and the result of the
experiment proving TemuneratiYe so far beyond
the expectations of the protector, others natur-
ally became engaged in the business The Kan
sas Pacific railway fostered and encouraged this
new arm of industry until il has grown to its
present immense proportions. From the official
records of the general freight Office, we ascertain
that this road transported last year 131 ,240
head Of Texas cattle, and from present indica-
tons these figures will be more than doubled
this year. The receipts at Abilene, BrookYile
and Salina already exceed $4,000 head, and each
day adds thousands to the grand total. Since
the inception of this immense business,
Abilene and Texas cattle have been
synonymous, and in consequence from
an insignificant frontier railroad station,
the place has grown TO one of great importance
and is household word TO every cattle-dealer
and droYer in the country. Elevated as it is,
1857 feet above tide water, situated in a section
unsurpassed for pasturage and water, this
point enjoys peculiar advantages for the cattle
business. Its elevation and freedom from brush
or underground secures to Abilene the Texas
cattle trade for years to come, as the adjacent
country Is rich with nutritious grasses, and is
free from the annoyance of flies and ticks, the
great pests of cattle. The prejudice heretofore
existing against Texas cattle, we are glad to
see, is fast dying out; and the rich pasture
lands OF Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, as well
as Colorado and Wyoming, are fast filling up
with this hardy breed. Millions of dollars are
realized every year by purchasing Texas cattle,
holding them over during the winter, and realiz-
ing upon them the following spring. The mar
ket has not fairly opened yet, but we hear OF
some sales of beeves at from two dollars to
three dollars, stock cattle, at less figures.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN 1TS7.-An
extract from Arthur Young's Travels, published
in 1899, seems to prove that Prof. Morse came
very near losing the opportunity to make the
invention, which has changed, almost more than
any other, the conditions of society in our time,
rious that evidence, not long since discovered,
shows that the art of photography, also, was in
vented nearly hundred years ago, probably by
Watt, the perfector of the steam engine, and
scientific triumphs of the nineteenth century.
The extract referred to, written in Paris, Octo-
Der 18th, 1881, is as follows:
an the evening to Mons. Lomond, a very in
genious and inventive mechanic. In
electricity he has made remarkable discovery;
he takes it with him into a room, and turns a
machine enclosed in q cylindrical case, on the
top of which is an electrometer, small, fine
pith ball; wire connects with similar cylin-
der and electrometer in a distant apartment, and
his wife, by remarking the corresponding mo-
tions of the ball, writes down the words they in
dictate, from which it appears that he has formed
an alphabet of motions. As the length of the
wire makes no difference in the effect, CORE
spondence might be carried on at any distance;
within and without a besieged town, for in
stance, or for purpose much more worthy and
a thousand times more harmless, between two
lovers prohibited or prevented from any better
connection. Whatever the use may be, the in
vention is beautiful"
The French revolution, then impending, prob
ably overwhelmed Mr., Lomond and his inven-
ton

How VERMONT Town GOT ITS NAME.
Many of our readers, we presume, remember
the singular way in which, according to Thorn
sons Gazetteer Of Vermont, the present name of
Barre was fixed upon. 1t was first chartered
by the name of Wildersburgh, but, the appella-
ton not suiting the inhabitants town meeting
was held September 8, 1793 to agree upon some
other name to be presented to the general as
sembly for its approval. Among the multiplicity
of suggestions for Techrstenmg the borough,
TWO names were urged with especial vehemence,
Holden and Barre, being names of towns in
Massachusetts from which two of the more
prominent inhabitants had come The conten-
ton having been virtually narrowed down to
these two voters, it was finally proposed that the
strife should be settled by boxing match which
finally came off in a shed near by, the meeting
adjourning to witness the contest. A circum-
stancial account of the whole matter, not omit
ting the extracting of hemlOck slyers from the
body of the man who ."took the floor" ia the
rough-and-tumble struggle into which the box
ing soon changed, will be folnd in the work
quoted above, under Barre. The under man in
this case proved the victor, and named the town.
Last week one of the Barre lawyers was rum
maging the town records to look up the history
of deed, aud came upon the original record of
the town meeting just referred to- We cite so
much of it as concerns the matter of the name

voted, that the man who will give the most

the general assembly for that name.
The name of the town vendued and bid off
by Ezekiel d. Wheeler for the sum of sixty-two
pounds lawful money, he being the highest bid
der, and said Wheeler names the town Barre"
The official record, it appears, makes no al
fusion to the fight; but one would hardly expect
Il to. NO mention is made Of Wheeler in

according TO him were Thomson and Sherman

CAPTAIN LINCoLN.-On getting up to the
plain at our left and front,n found that General
Taylor had not yet arrived; while all was anX-
iety at the sight of the immense masses ofMexi-
can infantry, their bright arms glittering in the
early morning sun, that were seen approaching,
under the fire Of their heavy guns, from the
ridge just across the narrow valley. turned to
our rear to seek the staff, and met my friend,
Captain Lincoln, WOops adjutant general, on
gallop to the front. My greeting of "Buena
VistaP with the right arm pointing to the rear,
was responded 10 with his right arm forward,
and "Buena Vistap which was probably the
last exclamation of his life except his closing
cheer.
As passed onward | first met Colonel Bel
KNAPP, moving quietly along under perfect hail
Of musquetry, and next found General Taylor
and his staff, as they came upon the plain from
Saltilo, where the anxiety OF the general had
carried him during the night to assure himself
again of the proper disposition of the troops
there.
We had scarcely moved hundred yards upon
the plain, when Captain Bragg rode up with the
exclamation: General, they are too strong for
me,-they are six pieces to my twoP Upon this
General Taylor authorized him to withdraw to a
safer place. AS he turned TO join his battery he
saw me, and, grasping my hand, cried out: 81

l thought ] saw you dead" followed him. and
saw at the feet of the horses of one his pieces all
that was left of the gallant Lincoln, so recently
in full and joyous life My first impulse was to
save his sword, as of priceless value to those who
loved him; and carried it with his pistol to our
field hospital under the edge of the plain, for
safety. Upon returning some short time after,
and finding his body still left where he fell,
l had that also taken off the field. He had
pressed forward, as l passed him, to the front
of Bisselps regiment, then forming 10 support
section of artillery under Thomas, and
to meet the charge of the advancing columns.
Riding along their front, he turned back to their
left and rear to cheer them on, with the words,
"COme on, my brave Illinoisans, and save this
battery" In the storm of muskeuy that then
rained down upon them, one ball struck him in
the waist, another entered the back of his head,
and dropping slowly forward, he was caught by
a captain OF the charging regiment, who passed
him into the hands of his orderly, and he was
laid upon the ground, without groan or a
word. After waiting several weeks, l sent a
long letter to his friends, giving them every de-
tail, and with it flowers which had bossOmed
on the spot where he fell. Long may such flow
ers bloom over him, gallant son of a noble race
of Massachusetts, the names of whose heroes
and statesmen still glitter among the brightest
on her rolls of fame.-FrOn Old and NeO for

The anticipated history of the Battle of
Dorking," however disagreeable and alarming
to Englishmen, has proved very pleasant read
ing to the Germans. A letter published in the
Allgemeine Zeitung, addressed to the emperor,
advises him to improve the suggestions of the
English writer, and conquer England as two
previous Williams of Normandy and of
0range-did in their times. The enterprise, he
thinks, presents no serious difficulty, and it
promises the advantage of making Germany,
with its own army and the fleet now of England,
unquestioned master of the world. 1t would
be blessing even to England also, which is
now oppressed with self distrust and apprehen-
sion that its great career of power and renown
is nearly at an end and that it is no longer feared
or respected by foreign nations. Once incor-
porated into the Fatherland, the German writer
processes to believe that IAN era of real happi-
ness and self-respect would open for the British
territories of the German empire"

The committee, after carefully noticing the

by A. b. Barnard of West Fitchburg, is the
best, the Meadow King second, and the Granite
