these men who sleep, eat and live on
horseback, never leave their sbunches'
of cattle except to chase the Mexican
| or Indian marauder, and know and
care for nothing but their avocation.
ssNor 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.
If they stampede, as they often do, the
cowboy must ride after or before them,
and the dangerous race is most fre-
quently made during darknights, thro'
drenching storms, over yawning bar
rancas and in the midst of tangled
thiekets that fearfully test the strength
+ of the leather fetter on his arms and
the cow-skin leggins which protect
his lower limbs. These men already
possess organization, after a fashion,
in their distinctive traits and occupa-
ton and their esprit de corps. Nor
would it would it be difficult for an
officer who understood them to teach
them discipline enough for all practi-
cal purposes. Like other Texans, they
are, with occasional exceptions, Of
course, temperate.
"a good deal of stuff has been writ
ten about Texan intemperance as well
as Texan laWlessness. Less liquor is
drunk in Texas than in one Northern
village. The climate disinclines one
to drink, as, somehow, itseems to make
men reticent. Ten thousand of these
incipient soldiers roam over Western
Texas, all sons of frontiersmen and
Injured from infancy to hardship and
danger. A little instruction in the
drill and the duties of the camp, a few
lessons in subordination, and they
would become invincible in the service
to which they are adapted. A caval-
ry commander with such troops might
safely attempt anything, for he would
have corps as rapid as the horsemen
of Kaled, resistless as the Genghis.'

yellow fangs, were CO with blood
and foam in his mad q rts for life.
Now doubling almost hto a ball, he
would straighten, rear up to his ut
most, and then tear at the trap, the
while filling the air with his snarling.
To kill him was my next thought. So
taking light club, cut for the pur-
pose, I struck him SO exactly between
the ears that he fell over upon his side,
gave one or two kicks, and was still.
I threw him across my shoulders
and returned to camp to enjoy my
breakfast and laugh at ycompanions'
expense, having efeetuslly silenced all
their theories respecting the subject.
He was a beautiful full-grown spe-
cimen, finely developed, and covered
with a long, thick coat of rich color.
I still possess the skin, and took, in
addition, his exact measurement from
muzzle to brush, which were of the
greatest use, as I subsequently model

SUGAR GIkGERBREAD.- One cup of
sugar, one cup of sour milk, piece of
butter half the size of a hens egg, one
scant teaspoonful ofsaleratus, and -four
enough to make it as stiff as molasses
gingerbread. Flavor with lemon or
nutmeg.
CRUST FOR SAvoRY Pies. two
pounds of -four, one and a half of but
ter or lard, and the yolksof three eggs; :
rub part of the fat to a cream with the
Eeggs, then rub in the -four; wet with
cold water, and roll out with the re-
mainder of the butter. This rrsS6 iss
suitable for pigeoa, rabbi, hare, and
other savory pies.
LEMON CAKE.-Two cups powdered
sugar, (not pulyerized, notquite three
fourths of a cup of butter, one cup of
sweet milk, three of flour, four eggs
beat separately, add the whites last
with the flour, one-half the rind and
the juice of two lemons, one-half tea
spoon soda. Bake carefully. Frost
with whites of two eggs and half
pound OIL pulVerlzed sugar.
!. CocoANUT OR JELLY CAKE.-One
cup white coffee sugar, one cup sweet
milk one egg three tablesp oonsfuls

half teaspoon soda. Bake IN Iolr round
Jelly tins. Cover each layer, as You
put it together, with frosting and pre-
pared cocoanut, or with jelly, and SUI
gar the top one.
MINCE PIEs.-Butter some patty
pans well; line them evenly with thin
puff paste, then fill the pans with mince
meat; moisten the edge of the paste,
and close carefully; trim off the paste;
make a small opening in the centre Of
the top crust with the point of knife.
Bake them half an hour in well
heated but not fierce oven. It is well
to place piece of white paper over the
pies while baking to prevent them tax
ing too much color.
BUcKwHEAT CAKEs.-Sift together
one quart of buckwheat flour and a
teacupful of cornmeal. In cool wealth
er make up moderately thin batter
with lukewarm sweet milk ;' salt to
taste. In warm weather it is best to
use water; the milk would sour. Add
half tumblerful of good lively hop
yeast Chop yeast is the best for buck
wheat; make it up in a jar, covering
closely, at nine o'clock at night. The
next morning beat in three eggs; let
it set fifteen or twenty minutes; just
before frying stir in teaspoonful of
soda, first sprinkling it over the bat
ter. Soda is unnecessary if the batter
is perfectly sweet. Eggs are not es-
sential, but are an improvement. A
mixture of four parts of buckwheat,
two of Graham and one of Indian,
makes more healthy cake, and more
spongy.

How Mr. cobleigh lost bis suspenders

1
We are a particular people. Wher
we place anything down we want te
find it just there when we look for it
We are very particular about this, and
when we do not place anything just
there, we expect to find it there Just
the same. And more so. Mr.. Cob.
leigh took q bath Sunday morning.
On coming from the water refreshed
and strengthened he put on his pants,
and drew the suspenders over his bare
Shoulders, and taking his soiled cloth
| ing in his arms, adjourned to the bed
room. Here he deliberately put his
undershirt and fine linen over his
suspenders, and deliberately loosened
those articles while he tucked in his
garments. Then he looked for his
suspenders. He had carefully placed
them on chair, you know, that chair
right at the foot of the bed, and he
looked there for them, as it is was per-
fectly reasonable he should. They
were not there, however. Mr.. Cob
leigh was surprised. He stared very
hard at the chair, and tried manfully
to keep down the rising temper, then
he looked in every corner of the room,
and got down on his knees, and peer
ed under the bed, and even looked at
the ceiling, and out of the window
He examined these localities not be-
cause he expected to find the articles
there, but Mr.. Cobleigh wished to
show the world that there was no in
tention on his part to be unfair in this
matter. He had left those suspenders
on that chair, and, as they were not
gifted with legs, some one had remov-
ed them. Mr.. Cobleigh was so conf
| dent of this that he deemed it prudent
to strike the stand with his fist, and
tell what ought to be done to the par
ty who took the snspenders. This he
did, and then called his wife. Mr..
Cobliegh very briefly related the loss,
because he hadn't time to talk much,
and then proceeded to talk about moth
nigel Mrs. Cobleigh carefully search
ed the chair, while Mr.. Cobleigh stood
by and grated his teeth. Then she
carefully searched the room, which so
exasperated him, as he had already
made the search, and had left the sus-
penders on the chair, that he tartly in
quired if she supposed he had hidden
the articles. This led her to explain
that she beliyed he had left them some
where else. ssDo you think I'd lie a.
bout pair ofsnspenders 2 gasped he,
- - ..kba awfnl sl1aninion flashed upon
ed g ba6k aai ghIs FBy per-
haps she did not consider itat all, bnt
she was confident they had been mis-
laid, and said SO, while Mr.. Cobleigh,
holding up his garments, danced a.
round in very furious manner
Finally a compromise was made with
two strips of wooleri cloth, with holes
at the ends, and the Cobleighs went to
church in no very happy state of mind.
At night when Mr.. Cobleigh retired,
and drew off his upper wardrobe for
that purpose, vehement exclamation
attracted the attention of Mrs. Cob
leigh, who looking around, beheld a
very sheepish-looking man trying to
disengage a pair of suspenders from
under a tight-ftting undershirt.-
"Well, l declare" commenced that la
dy; d" "Well, you just shut up,
and go to bed?" savagely demaned Mr..
Cobleigh.-Daaabury Ne1os.

Regular Eating.

i AAS1A VI oil OIul1d1J OioC1cCn, cdy :
DIR. Hall in his journal Of Health,
would be banished from civilized life,
and dyspepsia become almost unknown,
if every body would eat but thrice a
day at regular times, and not an atom
between meals, the intervals being not
less than five hours, that being the
time required to digest full meal and
pass it out of the stomach.
| If a person eats between meals, the
process of digestionof the feed already
in the -. - ~ ,s..e..1
: I-a1raa Condition Of the former meal;
| just as, if water is boiling and ice is
put in the whole ceases to boil until
the ice has been melted and brought to
the boiling point, and then the whole
boils together.
But it is law Of nature that all food
begins to decay, after exposure to heat
and moisture for certain time. If a
meal is eaten, and in two hours anoth-
er, the whole remains undigested for
seven hours, before which time the rot
tening process commences, and the
man has a stomach full of carbon
the very idea of which is horribly dis
gusting.
AS, then, all the food in the stomach
is in a state of fermentive decay, it be-
comes unfit for the purposes of nutri-
ton and for making good pure blood.
Small wonder is it that dyspeptics have
such variety of symptoms, and aches,
and complaints in every. part of the
system, for there is not one drop of
pure blood in the whole body; hence,
the nerves, which feed on this impure
and imperfect blood, are not properly
nourished and, as a consequence, be-
come diseased. They complain - they
are hungry-and Ikea hungry man
are peevish, fretful, restless. We call
it nervousness, and no one ever knew
dyspetic who was not restless, fretful,
fdgety, and essentially disagreeable,
ftful and uncertain.
The stomach is made up of NUM-
ber ofmuscles, all of which are brought
into requisition in the process of diges-
tion. But no muscle can work always.

ropose for one third of it's time. The
eye can work twice in second, but
this could not be continued five min
utes. The hands and feet must have
rest, and so with the muscles of the
stomach; they only can rest when there
is no work for them to do-no food in
the stomach to digest. Even at five
hours interval, and eating thrice day,
they are kept constantly at work from
breakfast until the last meal is disposed
of, usually ten o'clock at night. But
multiaues eat heartily within an hour
of bed time; thus, while the other por-
tions of the body are at rest, the sto-
mach is kept laboring until almost day
light, and made to begin again at break
fast time. No wonder is it that the
stomach is worn out-has lost its pow
er of action. Many girls become dys-
,peptic before they are out Of their teens,
in consequence of being about the house
and nibbling at everything they lay
their eyes on that is good to eat.

Far dearer than all is the red dried herring,
The brown baked herring just off of the fire.
How oft, as I sauntered at evening alone, :.
From the din of the street to the calm of my

From the hearth of my cottage to welcome my

Twas the well-known fragrance of red

A brown baked herring, just off of the fire.
And then, as L d enter, smile and sit down,
And I'd take up this, herring, so crisp and so

To my long-longing tooth l would raise it and

And the world could give nothing more tooth

Than this delicate herring, this red dried her

This brown baked herring just off of the fire.
Give me this, with hoe-cake of Maryland corn,
Baked brown in the ashes at evening or morn,
With little fresh clabber, just half a week old,
From the spring in the mead so refreshing and

To accompany this herring, this red dried

This brown baked herring, just off of the fire.
o dear little fish, that more brilliantly shines
Than the silver that glows in Potosi's bright

Grow fat in thine own native stream, and be

And sport with thy play-mates, for soon thou

For the palate of man, a red dried herring,
A brown baked herring just off of the fire.

ter calculated to provide for themselves
in trying situations, and those in ou1
train were no exception to the general
rule. So We journeyed, an interval OF
about fifty yards being preserved be-
tween the teams, near enough to park
in case of danger, but not so close as
to impede each other in event of diff
fcult crossing, which now and then
we encountered.
The scenery along the Republican
between its course and the eastern por-
tion of the stream, is not especially in
teresting. A low range of hills sur
mounts its northern bank, breaking UP
into rayines and becoming more rag
ged the further west they extend
The south bank is mainly marked by
sand-hills, which mingle with the
coarse gravel of the river or extend in
long ridges back into the Plains, till
lost among its numberless broken sur
faces. These gravelly ridges offer a
rich field to the mineralogist, the spe-
cimens of agate, carnelian, ETC., being
quite numerous. Even in passing
through them as quickly as we did and
having little or no knowledge of such
matters, | made quite a collection o1
pebbles, some of which were very beau
tiful, even in their rough state. Upon
the north bank the yellow buffalo grass
extends far and wide, the surface OF
the ground furrowed by numerous ra-
vines near the river, with limestone
boulders scattered along their BEDS
A few stunted trees, probably cotton
wood, appeared at atinterVals, bearing on
their tops an occasional Indian brave

and provided with all the articles ht

tions-7rapping Cayote.
After night of most refreshing
sleep. we awoke to find the suns long
arrows touching the hill-tops far away
over the course of our previous jour
ney; this, too, with the rosy look of the
sky in that direction showed the storm
had passed. So throwing off the tent
with its glistening white cover, and
the underlying robes and blankets, we
emerged from our resting place and
began collecting fuel for our fire, which
was soon blazing. To feed the mules,
horses, and ourselves was the next
thouSht and one which was speedily
attended to, for cooking among buffa-
10 hunters, though seldom good, is al
ways quick, and the result was that in
about half an hours time from our a.
wakening we had breakfasted, fed the
stock, hitched up and were en- route.
Descending to the valley from our
position among the hills, we struck
the trail and began following it west
again, along the course Of the winding
Republican, which we could see fading
away till its tortuous blue line was lost
in the distance. The winter sky was
eclear, so letting the mules take their
own gait, we had abundant leisure to
note the type of the country through
which we passed.
The river, only about seventy-fve
yards in width, with water somewhat
muddy at this season, was nevertheless
good and offered pleasing prospect,
which will be readily understood by
those who have seen mile after mile of
desert waste pass without a single drop
of the element. The very animals
seemed to feel the danger of extreme
thirst gone, and moved along with a
quicker step and more contented ap-

The above, though a mere epitome Of Mr..

not mere tolerance, but full religious liberty. His
position on this subject has been misunderstood.

Secretary Of State urged the recognition of reli-
giOus liberty in the proposed treaty, Mr.. Mor re-

and separation of Church and State were accepted
