sisted of about twenty Cow boys,
two wagons and some eighty Mexi
can ponies, bound for a four week 5
hunt. Ont we drive. with tiuklng

When the proprietor of the hunt dis
covers enough of his brand to make
a round up necessary, we separate
into two parties, riding nearly in OPP
posite directions, so as to meet at a
given point, deserving a circle. The
head OF each party at two or three
hundred yards turns the cattle as he
comes to them, toward the centre of
the imaginary circle; a second man
then follows in the same way, riding
inside of the first mans path, then
a third, aud SO on, until they are all
on the 60. Ia few moments you
will see cattle for a mile or more,
carrying their long horns high in the
air, and moving in brisk trot, all
having as their objective point one

among the herd, and cutting out
those bearing their brands. These
'cut outs are kept in separate herd
and the round up is turoed loose -
Our herd is thus commenced, and is
increased with every round up

UNREASONABLE.

If there is anything which de,
serves to be stigmaiized as uureas-
enable, it is the persistent demand
that grown-up sons and grown up
daughters make of their parents for
luxuries which they can not afford
to procure. Not only DO they de
mand all the delicacies which the
market aft ,rds, and to be dressed
ia the costliest, drive in the most ell
egant carriages. and live altogether
in high Style, but at the same time
they decline under the mask OF
thousand excuses, to stretch forth a
helping hand the sons in their
fathers business and the daughters
in the household affairs - What they
| Ike is to idle away their time most
pleasantly, even if it leads to mis-
chief 10 which they become the hero
or heroine.
1t will be well if those young peo-
pie would hold in their reins and
take a good, earnest look at things
as they are. Ii their parents are
in moderate circumstances, they
have accumulated their possessions
by The sweat Of their brow. and it is
quite right ihey should be careful
with their expenditures and keep
their limited means well in hand for
the rainy days, which, sooner or
later, are apt to visit every family.

THE PROFESSIONS.

Horace Greeley, "there is room

The halfway house is most crowded.
Every step frem bottom to that point

Successful farming in Georgia will
for the future require skill, educated
skill. The field is there wider, the
reward greater, and the fame bright
or, than will ever be found in the
long roll of commonplace lawyers and
dowdy doctors too numerous every
where. The well-to DO farmer often
makes an Indifferent attorney or doc
tor of his son, but the poor lawyer
and worse doctor rarely makes such
noaenities out of theirs. For every
successful lawyer in the country, that
profession is saddled with ono hun
dred miserable make>shifts, and ag-
ricuIture loses fifty good farmers.

is more honorable to be tirSt~class

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
[From tie Grenada Miss } Sentinel. ]


DR.. w. +. Rogers who, as a SER
geon, stands at the head of the pros
fession in the South, performed an
operation in Memphis last week that
has developed one of the most res
markable results known in the med
zeal fraternity. He was called in,
at house on DeSoto street, to
extract a stone from the bladder
of young man Is years old,
named Jeptha Walker The doctor
having successfully taken out the
stone, which is about the size CT a
large guinea>egg, composed of car
Donate of lime, left the patient in
good spirits, doing wholesome
days after, the nurse while dressing
the wound of the young man, saw
something protruding from it, which
she gave to pr. Rogers on his
next visit. On examination this
proved to be the bone of an infant.
Since then the physician has extract
ed several bones, among which are
part of both bones of the thigh, one
of the leg, of each arm and one hip
bone and last Tuesday another was
taken out belonging to another part
Of the body. The nurse stated that
she extracted many more bones, but
not knowing their value, she threw
them away. The patient is doing
very well and is expected to be re.
stored to good health This is the
first case of the kind, we believe, that
has occurred in this part of the coun>
try. But medical works recount
where several such phenomena have
taken place; and the same au1hori-
ties explain upon very plausible
theory how such things can happen
Some lazy incredulous doctors, whose
vocation should have been that of
third class scoIions, have doubted
the word of DR.. Rogers in this mat
ter. But the doctor has shown us
the bones and the stone, and told us
that his operation was attended with
the above results.
