Taking Wild Horses.

The editor of the Pleasanton SYock Journal thus gives the naodus operayadi of capturing wild horses in Texas: "As soon as herd of horses is discovered, the party of hunters divide, one portion striking camp while the other sets off in pursuit of the herd. The frightened animals go bounding across the prairie through the prickly pear and dense chaparral, leaving trail which the hunters steadily pursue at an easy gait, until they come in sight of the herd, which scampers of as before. These tactics are kept up bp pursuers for days, the mustangs returning to their first starting point-which they are sure to do-when the camping party takes the place of the tired pursuers, and thus follow the herd until the poor, wearied, and half-starved creatures, with swollen limbs and bloodshot eyes, give up the struggle and submit to be driven any where. The object of the hunters has been merely to keep close enough to the mustangs to prevent them grazing. Starvation soon brings them to terms. and the prairie monarch, with drooping crest and dejected look, leaves his ma. tive wilds henceforth to become the slave of man. This is what hunters call walking mustangs down."

Spelling Dresses.

A mean-spirited wretch in Albany named Van Cott has shown himself to be the enemy of the female sex in 8 most aggravating way. For couple of months past complaints have been heard from many of the ladies of the city that their dresses have been ruined by somebody who has made it prac- them in the streets at night. It is said that over hundred valuable silk dresses have been ruined in this way by this Van Cott, who was arrested re- gently, just after he had ejected a quantity of the liquorice juice upon the dress of lady who was going to church. He confessed that he was the. author of all the mischief that had been done to ladies' apparel. His shirt front was found to be stained with iquorice, and in his pockets were several pieces of that composition.

The Bridal Tnur.


 Young Spriggles and hls. Aramantha Jane had just been married, and were going upon their bridal tour. They didn't know whether, upon their return, they should board with "the Old Folks, " or take rooms at private hotel. Being only g clerk, Spriggles' means were limited, and he could not expect much at first in the way of living.
 "Of course," he said, to old Dolger, a wealthy member of the firm who had kindly granted him three weeks leave of absence, "we must be in the style, you know. I s'pose you took a rusher when you were married" .:......

 II mean, you took an extensive one, and showed your wife the sights"

We had it all fixed, and everything laid out beforehand. I worked for it hard and she worked too. It was to be the grand event of our lives, and we wanted that it should be success. We felt that as the new life opened, so should it continue. I was earning five hundred dollars year. That was good pay for a salesman fve-and-thirty years ago better than three times that amount now, as things go. We were married in the morning at the house of my wife's father. Then we rode two miles to the substantial cottage I had secured for a home. My money had made the first pay ment on it, and Mary's money had furnished three rooms in if
 "And we eat our first meal thereafter in our own house and I went thence to my work, and my wife set about her work. It was the new life, and we were determined to succeed if possible. And in that effort was our joy. And in the success which followed was unalloyed happiness. In less than three years my house was paid for, and my home was my own. Come storm, or come sun. shine, we had roof to cover us-a roof from which the hand of man could not turn us.
 .'I doubt, young man, if ever bri- dat tour was happier or more profitable than was mine and know that Mary enjoyed it with me, and I know that the exercise of housekeeping upon her.own account was invigorating and healthful. But then we married for real earnest living and loving. We believed we should find life's purest joy in the dis charge of hfe's sacred duties.

And," he added, with regretful shake of the head, "1 fear the young men of the present gen. eration will not live them for my view ing." ,f rE
 Spriggles walked away, scratching his head. He wasn't sure that he had re- ally caught the drift of the old mans remarks.

Horse Thieves Caught.

During the last season gang of horse-thieves have ranged through the northern part of Piscataquis county, Maine, creating great alarm among owners of horses. Eight horses were stolen, but have been retaken. The whole country has been on the alert to catch the thieves, as they have not only stolen horses but lived on the country. At night, nine men from Moose river, who had been hunting for the thieves several days, came upon their camp, and surrounding it, called upon them to surrender. Only two of the thieves were present, and they responded by opening a fire upon the pursuers, who closed in upon them, firing as they ad- vanced.
 The thieves did not yield until both were severely wounded; one through the lung and the other deeply in the shoulder. Two of the pursuers receiv- ed ugly, but not serious, flesh wounds. The place captured was just over the lines in Canada. The thieves were brought to the American side. They refused to tell their names. The people in the sparsely settled country above here feel greatly relieved.

A Reminiscence of a Tragedy.

A correspondent tells the following sad story: Michael Mel Farland (the bro ther of Daniel Mel cFarland, the murderer of Albert D. Richardson), who died in- testate at the Bellevue Hospital the other day, was formerly a periodical dealer and stationer near. the Fifth Avenue Hotel. By the strictest frugal ity he had made $30, 900, every penny of which he clung to with mercenary tenacity. Two years before the murder he was on the worst terms with and bitterly denounced his brother. But, after the latter had driven away his wife, and assumed that Richardson was the cause of her leaving, the stationer took sides with his relative, and urged him to kill the journalist declaring, again and again, that he himself would kill the "villain" if his brother did not Daniel had no money-indeed, he had been dependent on his wife for years-and Michael told him he should have the necessary means to employ counsel, if he would only shoot Rich ardson. .-...-s
 With so constant prompting and pressing, the deed was done, and Me Farland, helped by his brothers money and the influence of the Tammany Ring, was acquitted. The trial cost Michel everything he had. Having been driv- en into bankruptcy, he quarreled again with the murderer, and for months past has been speaking of Daniel as a fool, scoundrel, assassin, and I know not what. The loss of his money prey ed upon him sorely, for he had been almost miser. He declared he could not live, and was anxious, he said, to make some reparation to the lady who had been his brothers wife. He never saw her, however, and, after wanderin g about the streets, penniless, wretched, bitter, and conscience-stricken, he fell in the street in an epileptic fit, was car ried to the hospital, and buried in Pot ter's Field. Truly, time does bring about it's revenges, and in ways that none of us may anticipate.

After Scalps.
To II. Editor OF tic Standard !:

To the Editor Of the Standard:
notice from the report of the expenses
of the late Institute held in this place,
that certain individuals received COM
pensation for their services.
It seems to me there must be some
thing wrong. These favored individuals,
with one exception, reside in town, and
are not put to any extra expense in at
tending the Institute; and why they
should receive pay for their services is q
mystery to me, unless the teachers from
the country should also receive pay
What authority these gentlemen have to
draw pay from the treasury because they
live in town, ought and must be inquired
into.
am satisfied they had no authority
from the teachers of the Institute; the
question was not submitted, and the
Chairman of the Executive Committee
certainly has displayed executive ability
belonging to a higher order than .sn1-
mon school teachers, in fillir= dis own
pockets and q few of his lends Where
he got his authorits Is question.
Another oyrestion, What become OF
the amo,t4GC received for the side-show
given W sdnesday EVENING" This amount
odght to have been applied in paying the
expenses of the Institute. 1t could not
legally be applied for any other purpose
~ W1b1OuG GQG cO41ScuL 81 IIlO
If few teachers living in town, with
out any superior knowledge to those liv
ing in the country, propose to run the
Institute in their own interest, by using
the money properly belong to all the
teachers, the sooner the teachers from
the country take the subject into their
own hands the better off they will be. II
there is no other use for the money, lei
it be equally divided among the teachers
according TO their attendance at the
Institute. One of the teachers in town
Mr. Aleshire, seeing the injustice and
sWindle, has handed back the amount
paid him for his services, and think
that each member of the Institute should
demand that those having received pay
excepting the proper officers, should do
the same
An outrage of this character upon the
rights of the members, Of the Institute
should not be tolerated and If there is
any spirit in the teachers from the coun-
try. they will not rest satisfied until
every cent of the money, illegally ap-
piled is returned to the treasury, if it
required legal proceedings to bring the
uEurperH to time. I. T. MONAEAN.
