six months they have been in partDership

During the late buffalo hunt for Mr.
Burnett, he had very narrow escape
from death, which to him was but a mere
triAfpg incident, having passed through
SO many nearly fatal experiences. He
was riding his celebrated horse, "TaiI
Bull, " when a fierce buffalo bull attack
ed both rider and horse, badly gorine
the latter. Texas Jack, his horse, and
the buffalo all fell into Beaver river.
from which they soon after emerged, and
the fight continued, the result Of which
was the capture of the buffalo, and the
probable death of the horse.
"Tsll Bull" is one Of the most cele-
brated horses in this country, having
been captured in fight from old Tall
Bull, a noted Indian chief, who was de-
feated and killed The horse is the
swiftest and loDgest-winded animal on tbs
plains. having never yet been beaten in
race, although having had hundreds Of
contests of speed.
Texas Jack makes a lucrative liveli-
hood from the proceeds Of his hunting
expeditions and his numerous engage
ments as scout by the Government and
as a guide for English and American
hunting parties, which are becoming
more fashionable each wear.

A PathetIc PIcture.

George William Curtis paints the fol-
loving pathetic picture, which every one
could wish were less true to nature:

who seemed never to have smiled, who
struggled with hard hands through melt
lug heat and pinching cold to hold back
poverty aud want that hovered like VOL

children. How it was scour in the morn

long How care blurred the window
like cloud, hiding the lovely landscape
How anxiety snarled at her heels, dog
ging her like a curl How littlo she
knew or cared that bobolinks, drunk
with blithe idleness, tumbled and sang IN
the meadows below, that the earth was
telling the time of year with flowers in
the woods above As | think of these
things, of these solitary, incessant druid
geries, OF the taciturn husband coming
in heavy with sleep. too weary to read
to talk, to think, and ! do not wonder
that mad houses are so richly recruited
from the farm houses, as the statistics
show.

The reports from North Carolina are
various and conflicting. Both parties
claim the State by large majorities, and
on both sides the efforts are strong. We
caution the opponents of Grant not to
calculate upon auythig encouraging from
the August election in that State. With
the immense sums of money at command,
aud the large fields from which to i'm
port negro voters, we think the chances
are that the State may be carried by the
enemy. We shall attach no significance
to such results, however, for in Novem
ber the negroes imported for present use
there will be needed at home, and the re-
suit may be altogether different.

For the Hickman Courier
The POIIGIcaI situation.

When the Cincinnati Convention met,
the Republican party was about to fall
into ruins. Like the army worm or the
caterpillar. it had run its course of de-
structioD, and was bound to die. The
men who had worked for generation to
build il up saw that something must be
done to save it. Hence the meeting at
Cincinnati. Their only hope for success
was to be endorsed by the Democratic
party, aud therefore they must make a
platform on which every democrat could
stand and then to select man, who
having been faithful to his own party,
a renegade from no principles, man
who had redeemed every political pledge
that be had ever made, aud would be
believed when he said he would carry
out aud enforce that platform. Pre-emi-
uently among all the candidates TO "till
this bill" was Horace Greeley. Having
done all this, they prayed with the zeal
of an Eastern devotee, that the Demo
cratic party might support him. Like
the pious IIindoo on the banks of the
Gauges, who during long drouth pray
ed necessarily for rain,- -at last the food
came, his humble hut was washed away
and be was drowned in the freshet be
had invoked. So it was when three
millions of Democrats met at Baltimore
and resolved to nominate Horace Greeley
as the candidate of the great Democratic
/ party, and add his name to the long list
of Democratic Presidents who have made
/ the American Republic the greatest the
world ever saw. We have confidence il
Greeley aud believe that his administra
ton will be success ard rebound to the
best interest of the country.
We freely admit that the Democratic
party was ''cornered" at Cincinnati, and
could not help accepting Greeley anC
this is what made us mad-because eeu.
orally speaking the Democratic part,
has done the "cornering" itself 1t wa,
captured but the enthusiastic nomina
ton of Greeley at Baltimore, is one o.
the best illustrations of the text in scrip
tUre we have ever seen: lind he leo
captiUity coptive." Horace Greeley anC
the handful of Liberal Republicans,
are captured and lost = the grand arm,
of the great Democra arty. Person
ally, when we think of greeley, and re.
member his record, we cannot help ex
claiming, "The stone which the build ert
rejected, has become the chief of tn,
corner" "Let the dead, bury the dead
so said our Savior on earth; and so sale
