The Legislature packed up its ward
robe last week, and departed from Sa-
lem.
The Oregon Legislature of 1874 can
not be accused OF doing anything par
ticuIary bad, by its worst enemies that
it made no mistakes, none will aver.
That it did some good, fulfilling pledg-
Is made to the people before the cleo
ton, all concede. Generally speaking
it has met the expectations ofthe think
ing, reasoning, voters of the Common
wealth. Good enough. That odious
measure, entitled the litigant law, uni
yersally condemned by all parties, was
repealed /; certain leaks i'll the treasury
whereby State officials were enabled
to gobble up large amounts of the
peoples coin without returning ade-
quate labor therefor, were stopped.
A reduction in the enormous fees paid
county officers was demanded by every
county in the State-a law was enacted
making such reduction. The vast
amount OF cash hitherto paid for State
printing has been reduced 30 that there
will be a saving to the State of about
one-half i'll the work to be done by
future State Printers. The passage of
the railroad bills, we believe, meets
the appreciation of the people. Should
the passage OF these bills be the means
of securing the building of railways
giving us direct connection with the
East, they will prove to be the most
important of all the business transacted
by the Legislature of 1874. We be-
lieve there was less .'skullduggery"
practised by the late o. S. L. than by
any previous meeting since the organi-
zation of the State. And this is all
the more remarkable, too, considering
that there were three parties and each
party about equally represented.
While it is to be regretted that certain
measures of importance to the State
were voted down or neglected, it is
matter of graduation that no measures,
in which there were large and magnifi-
cent stealings, adroitly covered up,
were put through under a suspension
of the rules or in the regular way.

Rail Rsftipsla Texas.

A correspondent among the great cat
tie herds in Texas writes 10 the Calves
ton NelCS !:
In case of a severe winter, when grass
is scant, pack of wolves single out
some decrepit old bull, that has fought
his last fight, and been deserted by hi;
herd long ago, which they follow and
worry day and night until he is at las;
pulled down. Like the buffaloes, which
formerly roamed over this country,
these bulls are constantly fighting for
the mastery of the herds, and the cows
have a hearty contempt for the fellow
that is not ready at all times to present
an undaunted front. With their i'm
mense frames and horrible hornhs, a pair
of Texas bulls make 4 bad fight. Short
horn Durham bulls havebee introduced
by men who thought to improve the
stock; but they have no show at all
and one is occasionally seen feeding in
solitude. In rounding up cattle upon
the prairie, the driver Witnesses great
many of these fights. Perhaps haIfa-
dozen distinct herds are brought togeth-
J er; and the =" lords" take occasion to
TO plume themselves; and meandering
around, with deep roars, pay their re-
spects to the gentle sex, anu glance de
tiancc AZ each other. Young aSp;rants
for bonors are equally as demonstrative;
and outcasts thus brought into contact
with victor5 in former contests are
punished for their seeming temerity !;
old scores are revived; hostillties and
soon dozen fights are going on III diff
ferent portions of the large heard. Tie
first symptoms OF an accepted challenge
arc telegraphed over the heard by pro-
longed and shrill roars. Instantly ali
the bulls in the immediate vicinity, not
engaged, rush TO the spot, and caper
about the two advcrsaries, in 4 way they
would seem incapable of-all the while
bellowing-and undoubtedly taking
sides, AMI urging on the two central
figures. About twenty feet apart they
stand, tossing mp dirt with boof and horn
until suddenly, with lowered head, they
spring at each other, and their forehcads
meet with a dsil thud. They rebound,
and second and third time rally, when
comes the sullen strain-hcad to head
and horn to horn. Every nerve and
muscle is eXerted to the utmost; and no
living thing can long endure such fearful
tension. Presently one will prove the
weaker, or slip Il foot, and for the mo-
mcnt be thrown off his guard but the
slightest advantage is not lost to those
watchiul, glaring eyes Of his antagonist,
who throws his last energy into mig hty
plunge forward, which turns the victims

hank follows. 1t is not good to be too
near then, for horse and rider might We

The latest foreign advices report a
heavy fall in the price OF wheat in Ger
many. Russia and France, and also speak
of very large surplus in Hungary, all
of which points unerringly to the fact
heretofore referred TO by us, :hat for for
eign demand for our breadstufiS must be
very light, and we may as well prepare
ourselves for very low range of prices
for all the surplus wheat we may have
TO dispose of. The condition of the
weather, ground, etc, is as favorable as
could be desired in all the grain produc-
ing countries of Europe tor the Fall sow
ing of grain, and we are now able to say
about the same thing as to the condition
of the weather and ground in our own
country.

4 Methodist Horse.

The proposed trot in Boston between
celebrated stations is the general
theme IN New York. We have here 8
banker who in a quiet way has been
gathering tor some time the specdics'
horses of the country. He has a quiet
stable out of the city, about an hour
ride away. Here he has track, and
without observation he IS recording
some marvellous speed He says moth
/ ing abolt his stud on the tho street and
will not be questioned. No one can get
access to his horses without a written
permission from himself, and that is
rarely given. Among his treasures is a
/ brother OF Dexter, u gamey, speedy
horse, of which marvellous things are
told. This out-of-thc way stable Is just
now the center of good deal of interest
Among horsemcn it has been known for
a long while that a Methodist minister
IN Kentucky owned Z colt OF which
marvellous things were told. The AMI
NAL was black as n raven and bore the
name of Black wood. The value Of the
horse, IN thc estimation Of the owner,
may be seen by the pleasant httie

much of this colt that lie took trip
down TO Kentucky to look ut him. He
saw him move. lie describes him IS

The cap,ivated New Yorker offered

into the stable, and went into the house. +

it toward him. The guest responds to
this civiIity by endeavors TO prevent the
host from taking SO much trouble, and
at the same time he has wine brought
him IN Il cup, and takes some steps to-
ward the hosts place, who, in his turn,

both hands, raises it as high as his fore
