"SNAPpERS UP OF UNCONsIDEREn
TRIELES."

Tho following excerpt is takeI
from the Fort Worth Standard, il
reply to paragraph which recently
appeared in the columns of TIL
HERALD relative to tho nominee O
Tarrant county for the Constitu
tional Convention;
Here wo have plainly indicated
the course which THE HERALD ad.
vocates TO chouse Tarrapt out of Il
representative. If it was the honest
wish of that paper to act in concert
with the other portions of the dis,
trict, why does it make the fimsy
excuse that it will not carry out the
expressed views of Ellis and Tar
rant in the district convention, be-
cause we have nominated what
it pleases to term an incompe-
toni candidate Has TUE HERALD
assumed the dictatorial power of
telling us who We must nominate +?
II would seem so, for tho article in
directly advises the people of Dal
las to pay no attention to the nom
nation of Tarrant, but go on and
elect as many as they want from
Dallas.
This is courtesy with vengeance.
Mr.. Wallace may be incompetent;
We do not know his qualifications
for we have never had the pleasure
of his acquaintance, nor do we even
know him. But this is not the
question the HERALD is called on to
decide. The question is, would tho
HERALD under any circumstances
support n candidate from Iarrant
nominated bya District Conven.

posed to District Convention and

VIII have nothing to do with our
nominee We are not advocating
any body's election, but tho right
of Tarrant to have representative
in the Constitutional Convention
and the right of Tarrant to saw
who that representative shall be
and we will not under any circum.
stances confer that right on the DAL
LAS HERALD.
The position Of TuE HERALD has
been so frequently and explicitly
stated on this question, that it seems
almost like an useless repetition to
reiterate. The HERALD opposed the
calling OF District or County Con-
vention simply in order to prevent
the people being gerrymandered out
Of their choice, and in order TO poll
. full and complete vote, which
could only BIO done by q free and

and pastoral riches. Such road is
bound to be built; tho incorporators
of the Texas Pacific ask to be al

tors of the Southern, that is to saw.

the proposition, and are straining
every nerve TO anticipate their oppo.
nents by having their limo built by
the time that the matter will come
in tho form of a bill before Con-

They hardly pretend to oppose it
on any public grounds; they claim a
prior title, and intimate that it will
be more for the interest of San
Francisco to have tho lines in their
hands than in those of Eastern men.
Now, we fail to sec the points.
There is surely no valid reason why
the Texas Pacific, or twenty other
railroads for the matter of that,
should not have the right of way
through the San Gorgonia Pass; why
they should not build their lines
side by side with those of the
Southern Pacific, nor why, if the
public interest so required, n subsidy
should not be granted to each and
every one of them. The pretence
that il is for tho interest of San
Francisco to have the Central Pa

approaches by land to the city and
all the means of land transportation,

American Race Horses.

The complete list of American race
horses that won prizes Of one hundred
dollars or over in the season Of 1873,
which we published yesterday, CON
tains much information of great in
terest to the lovers of the turf. We
learn from the figures that there were
two hundred and seventy-three win
ming horses, excluding from the list all
of impure blood or unknown pedigree.
The aggregate Of their winnings was
1872, ,5S3, which gives an average to
each horse of 81 1868 and fraction.
OF course, the highest winners are not
always the fastest horses, as the nature
of the field determines the question OF
profit, and the best speed does not al
ways have the heaviest purse to con-
tend for. But it is worth noticing the
eleven highest winners of the season
Just closed. Mr.. McGrath's chestnut
colt Aristides, by bennington, dam
Sarong, won 500. Then came Mr..
Chamberlin's colt Tom Ochiltree, by
Lexington, dam Katona, winning
$1,000. The third was Mr.. Bel
mont's chestnut flly Olitipa, by Leam-
ington, dam Oliata, whose gains were
Sl0,550. The fourth was Mr.. Nc
Grath's bay colt Calvin, by Tipperary,
dam Lucy Fowler, $3.50. The fifth,
Mr.. McGrath's bay colt Aaron Pen
nington, by Tipperary, dam Lucy
Fowler, full brother to Calvin, SS,-
4S0 The sixth was j. W. Harney's
brown colt Ozark, by Pat Malloy, dam
Sunny South, $3.50. The seventh,
w. Jennings brown colt Ballenkeel,
by Asteroid, dam Schottische, 81 800.
The eighth, NJ. A. Littlc's bay horse
Wildidle, by Australian, dam ldlewild,
$4,000. The ninth, Mr.. Baldwin's
bay colt Grinstead, by Gilroy, dam
sister to Ruric, 1880. The tenth,
bay gelding Diavolo, by Jonesboro,
dam Ninette, So, 435. The eleventh,
George Longstaf's bay flly Countess,
by Kentucky, dam Lady Blessington,
81, ,260.
Altogether this is a creditable ex-
hibition for American owners and
American horses. The figures show
the interest taken in this amusement,
whose popularity is increasing with
enormous strides. The English, with
whom racing is an ancient institution,
antedating the American turf by gene
rations, every year train about three
thousand horses. In the United States
about four hundred are annually
trained, but we should not be sur
prised if next year this number should
be increased one-third or one-half.

Good Breeding and Good Feeding.

Now, in the animal kingdom, what
are fortunate circumstances In the
first place, let me tell you what unfor-
tunate circumstances are. "A hay-mow
full of meadow hay is one unfortunate
circumstance. You may tell me that
YOU cannot breed in-and-in. Well,
you cannot breed out-and-out on
meadow hay! You may have the
hest cattle in the world, if you give
them meadow hay to eat, and nothing
to warm them up, they will fail. An
other unfortunate circumstance is the
entire absence of root-crops on a farm.
lfyou are going to breed carefully and
well, and breed in-and-in, as you should
to breed successfully and arrive at a
given object, you want few root-crops
to keep the health of your animals
where it should be. You cannot feed
animals upon hay and meal, year in
and year out, without roots, or without
grass, without having them suffer.
They must suffer, they do suffer, and
they will suffer. Every man in this
room who has had experience with
cattle knows that by twelve months
heavy feeding with dry hay and corn
meal, you can destroy the health of
the best yoke of oxen in New Hamp-
shire. Every man knows that it is
done continually. And so shrewd
farmer, who would take good care of
his cattle, and turn them to advantage,
never thinks of keeping hard-worked
yoke of cattle up to the point at which
he wants to keep them, over twelve
months, without a proper supply of
roots, if he expects to make anything
out of them.
You want, also, comfortable stalls
for your cattle. If they are well bred
and well fed, they want comfort in ad
dition. If you will fed them judi
ciously, with good feed and a little
change of feed occasionally to keep up
their health, you need never fear If

General Sherman's report. The
nual report Of Gen. Sherman, after stating
the geographical limits of the various COM
mands, says the aggregate strength OF the
line of the army according TO the last re-
ports received, is /, $40 officers and 25,03l en-
listed men, made up as follows: Five regi-
ments Of artillery, 270 officers and 9, ,50i men I;
10 regiments Of cavalry, i22 officers and POS

II 600 men, available recruits, hospital
stewards, ordnance sergeants, etc, 33,20i.
During the past winter troops in the depart
ments Of Missouri and Texas were employed
in arduous and severe winter campaigns
against the Kiowa, Cheyenne and Comanehe
Indians on the Staked Plains, that have for
years been engaged in dePrcdations on the
Texas and Kansas frontier, resulting IN their
disarmment and subsection TO authority. II

servation; which is now not the case: The
reports of several commissioners, which have
under military escort recently been engaged
in exploring the country and in negotiating
with these Indians, will throw much light on
this subject. Generally speaking, the damage
10 life and prosperity by the Indians rs be-
lieved to be less during the past year than in
any former year, and the prospect is that as
the country settles up It will be less and less
each year until all the Indians are established
ON small reservations; but until they acquire
habits of industry in farming or stock-raising
they will need food from the government, be.
cause the game on which they have hitherto
subsidized has diminished rapidly.

The Little People Of The Sea.

The latest investigations into deep
sea life show that the vast area lying
beneath the ocean is covered with II
simple animal life, boundless in extent
and infinite in variety. Under condi-
tons too rigid and severe to permit
the growth of the humblest sea-weed,
these creatures live, and multiply,
and die. Far beyond the reach of
light, in "A glacial temperature and un-
der enormous pressure, exists this
wonderful fauna. As we strip the
mystery of vitality, Of garment after
garment, Us its conditions become
fewer and its mode of existence less
complex, the wonder, instead of be-
coming less, constantly grows upon
the mind. The human intellect longs
to find commensurate physical cause
for the effect which we call life.
When, as in the higher organic beings,
the conditions are many and the pro
cesses are complicated, the phenomenon
of vitality does not seem so puzZllng /;
antccedent seems to bear some sort of
proportion to consequent. The mind
rarely troubles itself TO make nice dis
tinctions between complicated ma
chinery and motive power. a liberal
display of wheel-work adequate to ac-
count for results without any.reterence
to the initial force. But us we contem-
plate the life of the protozoa, which
reign supreme in the oceans depths,
we see the awful and mysterious pro-
blem presented in its simplest terms ;
forms of existence which are formless,
organisms possessing no organs, life
contradicting the very definitions of
life and yet performing all its essential
functions. The conditions, complex
and muttudinous, under which we
live, are here reduced to two or three
the elements, many and bewildering,
which enter into the ordinary state
ment of the problem, are here eli
minated, and yet we are forced TO re-
cognize the same vital principle giving

tureless jelly which mimates the
highest organic beings.
When we see this tormless life gov
erned by laws, each in itself as inexor.
able as that which guides the rolling
planets, and all in their various com
binations us hexilc as those which con.
troll our human existence, we feel the
sense of awe which whisper from the
unseen world might send thrilling
through our nerves. We are standing
face to face with life stripped of its
familiar conditions. 1t looks lis in
the eyes as the disembodied ghost OF
the life now so familiar to us.--S. b.
