BEAURRGARD.

Father Ryan, the poet, priestI and
editor, publishes a lengthy and eloquent
protest against the late uniiication move
ment in Louisiana. The eloquent pro-
test closes as follows:
We care not whose or what names
NAV be appended to these resolutions
lint there is a signature attached that we
are sorry TO see. A soldiers name IS
therein past days. faithful and tried
and true; a namc that wears the glory
of many battlefield, a name that
bonors the country that breathes
n honored the country to whose
invaded rights il was so nobly con
secrated - the name OF Beauregard.
Has the brave soldier been entrapped
by The willy poltieians2 Has he merely
committed blunder2 Or has he gone
INTO this new movement with eyes open
no its real spirit and certain conse-
ouenees2 Did he read those resolutions
before he affixed his signsture3 II he
aid not we hope that he will withdraw
his name. But if with full knowledge
and deliberate will he has Endorsed the
poliey set forth in those resolutions, the
Beauregard of the Carondelet meeting
is not the Beauregard Of Shiloh; and
the glory that rose around his name on
many a proud battle day has gone down
forever

Texas Cow Boys.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-J ournal thus describes the Texas
COW boys, to whom he looks for valiant
soldiers in the event of what he says the
border men want, viz: a war with Mex
leo:
The Cow Boys of Texas are pecn-
liar breed. They are as distlnetin their
habits and characteristics from the re-
mainder of even the Texas population as
if they belonged to another race. The
Lipan and the Comanche are not more
unlike the civilized white man than is
this nomadic herdsman to the Texan
who dwells in the city or eultlvates the
plains. The Texan rangers who gal
loped after Hays and Mccullough were
wild and daring men, and life OF adven-
ture stamped them with strange pecu-
liarities. But the ranger had not
been bred to his occupation-he took it
up from choice. Many Of them were
educated, even cultivated men. Henry
Mccullough, Lane, Ford and Baylor are
the best surviving types Of this class
perfectly brave and essentially adVen-
furious, but much like other men in the
main. But the volunteer cavalryman is
no more like the Kabyle or the Tartar
than are the rangers identical with these
men who sleep, eat and live on horse
back, never leave their lunches Of
cattle except to chase the Mexican or
Indian marauder, and know and care
for nothing but their avocation.
Nor is cattle herding an easy life.
Think Of driving the wild, fierce brutes
from the Rio Grande TO Kansas, com
PEELED to watch them day and night. II
they stampede, as they often do, the COW
boy must ride after or before them, and
the dangerous race is most frequently
made during dark nights, through drench-
ing storms, over yawning barrancas and
in the midst OF tangled thicket5 that
fearfully test the strength Of the leather
tenders on his arms and the COW skin
leggings which protect his lower limbs.
These men already possess organization,
after a fashion, in their distinctive traits
and occupation, aud their esprit dn
corps. Nor would it be difficult for an
officer who understood them TO teach
them discipline enough for all practical
purposes. Like other Texans, they are,
with occasional exceptions, OF course,
temperate.
A good deal Of stuff has been written
about Texan intemperance, as we'll as
Texan lawlessness. Less liquor is
drank in Texas than in Jefferson county
or in one Northern village. The climate
disinclines one TO drink, as. somehow, II
seems 10 make men reticent. Ten thou
sand of these incipient soldiers roam
over Western Texas, all sons Of from
tiersmen, and Injured from infancy to
hardship and danger. A little instrnc-
ton in the drill and the duties Of the
camp, a few lessons in snbordination,
and they would become invincible in the
service 10 which they are adapted. A
cavalry commander with such troops
might safely attempt anything, for be
would have a corps rapid as the horse
men Of Kaied, resistless as the hordes Of
Genghis.

We gave several weeks ago detailed
account Of the singular fortunes OF the
Venus de Milo during the late siege OF
Paris. In Lippincotts Magazine Tor
Angust some information OF interest
upon the earlier history Of the statue is
given. Two points mach discussed are
in some degree settled. These two
points are-frst, the original pose OF the
statue. and second, the reasons OF its
being harmless. After so many years
of dispute over these questions, 1t oe'
Cured at length to NJ. Jules Ferry to do
what ought to have been done long ago,
namely, to 60 TO the very spot whence
the statue was exbumed and there talk
with all the surviving witnesses OF the
exhumation. M. Ferry not long since
put his idea into execution, went to
Milo, took into consultation with nm
NJ. Brest, son of the consul who procured
the statue for France, and found and
cross questioned two Greeks who were
nresent at the unearthing of the statue.
M. Ferry has collected the details OF his
labors in an elaborate communication to
the Academic des Beaux Arts, but a
brief indication of the results obtained
may be made as follows:
First, then, the Venus was found IN
1925 at the foot of the little hill, where
it had been covered up by successive
crumblings of the earth above. The
proprietor of the ground, wishing to
clear a little more of the soil for his
planting, CHANGED to strike the
statne with his shovel. ut was
on its base, erect" said the two
Greek peasants to the French Min
lister. '"With one hand she held
together her draperies, and in the other
an apple the sames doubtless, that
Paris had just given her. Such, very
briefly, is the clear, short, definite, deer
sive story which puts an end to ten
thousand dispositions and hypothesis
about the pose. The evidence thus
given is that of people who actually saw
what they describe. But, secondly, what
of those "long lost arms2" and how
came they to be lost2 The body OF the
Venus was formed Of two blocks, and
the arms we're afterward fastened upon
the trunk. When discovered 1t was IN
tact. NJ. Brest, the French Consul,
instantly bought the Venus for five hum
bred dollars, while the Turkish Govern,
ment, on its part, hurried off a small
vessel to bring it away, offering the owner
of the farm fvefold the French price, or
something like two thousand live hum
dred dollars. A French aviso, sent by
NJ. de REVERE, the Ambassador at Con-
arrived on the scene at the
very moment when the Turks had got
of the statue, and were en-
barking it on their vessel A dispute
arose at once, and in the material as
we'll as legal confusion the arms of the
Venus, which had been detached for
safer transportation were missed. The
people of the neighborhood got up a.
story that the arms were carried of by
the Turkish vessel out of chagrin and
spite, but this seems to be mere surmise
where all else is clear.
