CARE OF BEEF G ATTLE.-The best
cattle are kept growing from birth.
They should meyer be allowed TO
waver or decline, and their recovery
is more expensive than their censln-
uai advance. An animal fed heavy
one day and light another, becomes
g-bellied and . great eater. Reg
ularity is indispensable to success.
The cattle thus know what to expect
and do not fret over deferred hopes.
Cattle at five years old have all the
bone and lean meat possible, and
have done growing. They increase
after that in fat which st first
smoothly juts over the muscles, and
in the last stages of ripeHess mani
tests itself in punches and misshapen

feeding beyond this period. Com.

IMMENSE Loss OF TEXAS CATTLE.

Both the late cold weather and
the drouth have occasioned an i'm.
mense loss of cattle IN many por-
interest has not received for many
years such severe blow.
According to the Texas papers,
it is estimated that two hundred
thousand head OF cattle have died
during the past few weeks in West
ern Texas. The loss has been fears
full between the Guadaloupe and
Nueces rivers.
In:Gollad alone twenty-five thous-
and animals have been skinned, and
about an equal number in San Pat
rico and KarBes counties.
The San Antonio Herald says
that in d space of one mile opposite
Helene, one thousand or more ami
mails have been skinned. Within q
space of three miles, near kennedy's
ferry, on the Neuces, fye.th0Hsand
more have died, and many of the
carcasses have been stripped sf the

a living divine says: When l
was a boy, / thought of heaven as a
great shining city, with vast walls,
and domes, and with no strangers
to me. BY and by my little brother
died; thought OF great city made
with walls and dOmes, and spires,
and a flock OF cold unknown angels,
and one little fellow that was ac-
quainted with. He was the only
one knew in heaven at that time.
Then another brother died, and
there were two that / knew. Then
my acquaintance began to die, aud
the flock continually grew. But it
was not until had sent one of nv
little children to his grand parent
God-that l began to think l had
got a little in myself. A second
went, a third went, 8 fourth went /;
and by that time l had so many ac-
quaintances in heaven, that | did
not see any more walls and dOmes

STATE CoNvENrIoN.

The Brownsville States has this TO
say about the State Convention:
The labors of the Convention
were brought to a close last night at
ten O'Clock. Gov. Brown was nOmi-
mated by aeclamation. The nomi-
nation OF Greely and Brown, by the
Cincinnati Convention, was fully
endorsed by the State Convention.
Nearly every gentleman in the Con-
vention, expressed himself for Gree
ly and Brown. The Convention
met yesterday at noon, and after
the appointment of our fellow
townsmen, Col. u. j. Lea, as presi-
dent, and the election of other Off
GERS, the above business we trans
acted to the entire satisfaction OF the
large number of representatives
from all parts of the State.

startIing Discovery.


During the sitting Of court in
Connecticut not long ago on very
cold evening a crowd of lawyers
had collected around the fire that
blazed eheerfully on the hearth in
the bar-room, when a traveller en-
tered, benumbed with cold, but no
one moved to give him room to
warm his shins, so he leaned back
against the wall in the back part of
the room.
Presently sharp young limb of
the law addressed him, when the
following dialogue took place:
"You look like a traveler!"
"Wall, suppose 1 am; came all
the way from Wisconsin a loot at
any rate"
From Wisconsin,! What a dis
tance to come on one pair Of legs"
"Wall, done it anyhow"
'Did you ever pass through hell
in any of your traVels?"
"Yes, sir; Ive passed through the
outskirts"
II thought likely. Well, what
are the manners and customs there?
Some of us would like TO know"
"Oh, you'll find them much the
same as in this place the Ialoyers

fact:
Horace b. Clafiin, a prominent
member of the Baldheaded Club, is
as quaint and humorous as he is
keen-witted and rich. They tell
the following good story about him:
on the fifteenth Of February, about
five O'Clock, Clafiin was sitting alone
in his private office, when a young
man, pale and careworn, timidly
knocked and entered. "Mr. Claf-

no unequal discrimination in regard
