When Abilene the Texas cattle mart Of
Kansas, became so over-run with thieves,
cut-throats, greasers, and their like, that
a mans live wns in danger, the people
pitched upon the notorious Wild Bill
for their Marshal, and invested him with
authority to keep order. This he began
to do, not so much by arrests as by
shooting persistent disturbers Of the
peace after he had ordered quietness.
His name was sufficient terror to ma.
iority Of the evil inclined inhabitants Ia
cause quietus upon their brawls when
he came near, from the fact OF his known
determination to get the first shot and
the unorring fatality Of his shots. Vari,
Gus stories as to the number OF this
mans victims are extant, some highly
embellisbed, but the most moderate fiI
the number Of men who he has coclly
shot down at more than twenty. The
iact is he is universally dreaded among
the rufllan class, and this is the man
whom the people chose for Marshal, and
whom they empowered with authority
to quell disturbances, Many people
may be ready TO ask, "Why did not the
citizens rise en- masse and thrush ont
the eyil-doers2" Simply because the
oyil-doers exceeded in number the peace
able citizens. Violent disorders often
times require violent antidotes, and
therefore was this man Wild Bill, chosen
Marshal. He effected what less des.
perate man could not, and that was an
almost total cessation Of streets fights ;
and after his retention OF the office for
some time 1t was really possible 10 go
through the streets OF the city without
imminent peril.
1t fair TO think that man who has
caused so much death in the world rs
Bill has many enemies, and that they
thirst for his blood. A popular adage
among these rough characters is, "a
man that shoots much will die with his
boots on" and it was currently report
ed last Summer that powerful move
mont among Bill's enemies was on foot,
and that he must "look sharp" Now,
whether there was any concert Of action,
l know not, but on the dny Of the coun-
ty fair in September last, there arose n
dispute among some men pistols were
drawn, Bill ordered peace, two shots
were fired, when he instantly shot the
two men who didit one was killed in
stantly, and the other fingered with two
balls in his breast for two days and died.
A mock investigation was held; lie was
cleared Of all crime ain the execution
Of the duties Of his Office" and the oc-
currence was almost forgotten, when
II was noised abroad that the friends Of
one Of these men whom the Marshal
killed Ind taken the war.path. bound
by an oath to spill his blood. This was
very early in December, and people are
disposed to give credence. to the story
from the fact that the Marshal disap-
peared from Abilene about that time,
being warned by his friends Of this de-
termined league against him. Marshal
Bill is now in New York.

QUEER BIRDS. They must have queer
birds in Winfield, Iowa, aecordingt to one
OF our subscribers, who writes: One OF
our neighbors had IN old gobbler that
got on nest and wanted 10 sit there.
After he had been on the nest tbous
week, Mr.. Lee, his owner, procured
some eggs and set him, just 10 sec the
result, After the gobbler had set four
weeks, and no turkeys appearing, Nj.
Lee broke an egg to SEQ what was the
matter. They were NIL spoiled, and SO
he broke Mr.. Gobbler's nest up and
wouldn't let him go on it Ogain. After
n few days hO laid himself down aud
died. Hehad either set himself TO death,
or had died OF a broken heart, when he
found his labor lost. Another neighbor
had hen that was setting near large
family Of little pigs. Her nest and eggs
in some way getting destroyed, sbo
turned her attention toward the little
pigs, and would try to gather them un-
der her wings, much to the annoyance
Of the pigs mother. When the pigs got
so that they could run round. the old
hen would run after them, and be per-
iectly distressed because she couldnt
keep up with them and keep them to
gether. r.-Briqh Side,

WOrkmen,s Homes ID EurOpe.

In Denmark the Building Societies
form IN important feature OF social life.
In 1865, Messrs. Burmeister and Vain
(the Inter is an Englishman), the largest
employers Of labor in tho country, start
ed q new cottage system. The plan was
that every member should pay one
mark % cents a week and find deposit
OF lone dollar. The houses, when finished
or unoccupied, were TO be drawn for by
lot the member winning would have to
pay fair rent, md the excess Of rent
over interest (six per cent. on the actu.
al cost OF the house is credited to the
occupant, who in twenty.eight years
would thusrepay the capital, and bo en-
titled to the conveyance OF the house in
freehold. Members who do not win are
entitled to reclaim the entire amount Of
their deposits after eighteen years. The
society has built thirty.si1 two hoored
cottages in rows, each having a small
court and garden, and with either three
or two rooms besides kitchen, afTording
in ail accommodation for about $50 per-
sons. The rent OF the first floor is about
S3s, and the ground floor about S32
per annum. For much worse accommo-
dation other artisans have to pay $40
per annum.
Throughout Prussia the homes Of the
artisans are generally very poor. OF
late years rents have greatly risen. Some
thing is being done to improve matters
by the mid Of Building Societies. In
Sweden, where timber is cheap and land
is plentiful, the traveller secs neat little
cottages, each with its garden. Many of
the mine proprietors offer their work
men the privilege OF buying their houses
by easy instalments. In Russia many
OF the mill.owners have built for their
workshops large houses constructed on
sanitary principles and divided into
three classes-houses for married couples,
for unmarried men, and for unmarried
women.

CATTLE IN CoLoRADo.-Through the

Colorado letter, and which fell nearly
two months ago, thousands OF cattle are
without much other feed than they can

abound. Still, along the Platte Valley,
thousands OF tons Of hay were cut, and

Experiments with Petroleum.

Some time since o series OF eI leri
ments was instituted in st. Louis for thl
purpose OF ascertaining the practicable
ity Of using petroleum Us fuel in the
manufacture Of iron. These expert
ments have nov been continued for sew,
eral months, aud the results are sur,
prising, Us they go to show that the
liquid fuel is not only more economical
than coal, but is far better adapted for
the conversion OF ore into superior
qualities OF iron. One OF the tests EN-.
ployed would seom to demonstrate con-
clusively the value Of petroleum heat in
iron mills. A lot OF pig iron smelted
with raw Illinois coal in 1859 had been
thrown aside as worthless owing to the
large abssement by sulphur, and though
frequent attempts had been made nom
time to time to reduce this mixture to
merchantable iron, they had all resulted
in failure. A mass OF this impracticable
material, 1000 pounds in weight, was
treated with petroleum heat, and in a
single hours time was turned out in the
shape Of iron OF the finest quality,
closely resembling steel, perfectly free
from sulphur and all other impurities.
II is claimed that common Iron Noun
tain pig iron can, by single application
Of the liquid fuel in the pudding fur.
mace, be made into the best flange
boiler iron, equal 10 the first quality OF
Sligo or Low Moor iron. It is Said that
iron manufactured by this process ex-
hibits a tensile strength fur. greater than
that Of Low Moor iron. rs well as a ca
pacity to sustain weight much above the
average. The experiments show that
petroleum is cheaper than coal in its
use and handling, SO far as the heating
Of the iron for the rolls is concerned,
while the saving in "scraping" gives It O
still further economic advantage, actual
trial having shown a saving over coal by
It's use Of 903 pounds in the amount
taken ont Of the scraping furnace from
q quantity Of 1850 pounds Of iron,
which was melted mp. When it is con.
sidered that these experiments have
been made under many disadvantages,
with temporary machinery, and hitherto
untried apparatus for the application Of
the fuel, their great importance to the
iron industry Of the country will be
readily appreciated.

TAKING CARE OF LAMPs.-The easiest
way TO clean petroleum lamps is to wash
with thin milk OF lime, which forms an
emulsion with the petroleum, and re.

read accounts Of frightful accidents
from kerosene lamps, exploding and

children. A simple knowledge OF the
iuhammablO nature OF the fluid would
probably put stop to nearly all the nc.
cidents. As the oil burns down in the
lamp, q highly inaammable gas gathers
over its surface, and as the oil decrease
the gus increases. When then oil il

FESoH ADvEBTlsINd.-P has quite
outgenoraled New York in unique modes
Of advertising. A short time ago there
appeared upon the Bots de Boulogne O
handsome barouche and fine pair Of
horses. Within the vehicle was seated a
gentleman, on either side OF whom was
a lady in full ball costume, and without
bonnets. One Of these ladies had pro.
fusion Of golden locks, exquisitely ar.
ranged the other was a brunette, with
hair equally fine. Both turned their
heads towards the apparently, favored
gentleman sitting between them, whom
they seemed Obe addressing with great
animation. The first impression on the
spectator, after admiring the beautiful
hair Of the ladies, was one OF wonder
ment thnt they should venture abroad
in so cold wind SO lightly clad. On a
close inspection it appeared that they
were wax figures, and that the carriage
was the ambulatory advertisement OF a
hair.dresser.
