MR. sHAFFEgs, sHskP RAlsIHG
a Farr OF sixty TheassHd. Acres
with stock valued at $4,000

a Farm OF sixty ChouseAd- horess
wtth stock valued at $4,000
From the Nueces Times.
Mr.. Shaffer pre-empted 100 acres Of
land in this county in 1891 and estab-
lished sheep rancho. The war follow
ed. He made no appreciable progress ia
his condition until 1855, when his for
tune TOOK a turn At this time (lS65)
he owned 5000 head of sheep, all i'm
proved. The original stock OF 1900 head
he pui chased from A. Toutant Beaure-
gard, brother of the General. Fouryears
after that he purchased 1900 ewes of the
celebrated George Wilkins Kendall flock,
having in all, introduced 800 head of
ewes and bucks, costing him $50 head.
Mr.. Shaffer's income for 1875 may be
summed up as follows: Ewes sold, 2,575,
at $6,7i6; bucks and wethers sold, $3.50
wool sold, $4,000 younds, $4,000; in
come for 1875, $27,575.
To maintain his establishment and at
tend TO the sheep requires an outlay of
nearly 500 per month. From twenty
five to thirty men are constantly employ
ed. The flocks of sheep are divided into
1920 to each flock, under the care of
pastore, and over every three pdstores is
ticular three under his especial care. Over
all the Jdceri0s is head man. Two
large mule teams are constantly hauling
supplies, and in the storehOuse of the
rancho is a stock sufficient to start an Or
dinary country store. OF ewes, bucks
aud lambs he has now 10000 head, less
about $50, valued at about $4,000.
A few years ago, foreseeing that
large tract of land would soon be neces-
saly to maintain his rapidly grown G
tlocks, and afford never-failing pasturagr,
when prices were comparatively low he
commenced the purchase of what has
since swelled into princely domain,
watered by six or seven different streams
chief among which are the Aqua Dulce,
San Fernando, and Lagarto. This tract
now contains 10000 acres of land. With
the fence completed which he has now
under way these acres will be worth not
less than So each. The tract measures
fifteen miles in length, and from ten to
twelve wide and is covered with a plen-
ful supply of timber. Forty miles fencing
will be required TO enclose il. Mr.. Shat
fcr's dwelling is situated nearly in the
middle, and in addition to very COM
Portable dwelling, he has a stone ware
house for the storage Of wool, large
stable, and dozen or more out-build-
lngs for servants
Three or four immense csterns supply
water for the house, and near the sheep
pens is large windmill and tank, draw
ing supply from well eighty-one feet
deep, cut through solid rock, and in
which the water is thlrty-fVe feet deep.

Treasury Beauties.

We are now in the midst of a season
of dinners, church festivals, matinees,
private theatricals and tableaux. In
the departments the clerks work only
in the forenoon during the holidays,
and in the afternoon the streets pre-
sent a gay and animated appearance,
for the ladies of the departments are
out arrayed ore gorgeously than Sol
ONION or the lilies, in bewitching pull
backs, rouge, pearl-powder, dark eye
brows, and UNDERSIGNED eyelashes, bent,
like Tamerlane, on conquest. They
move down Pennsylvania Avenue usu-
ally in pairs. From the Treasury De-
partment to the Capitol, via the ave-
nue., is q measured mile, but only a por-
tion of this distance is fashionable for
promenading. Our Treasury beauty
husbands her munitions until she
reaches Thirteenth Street; here she is
truly formidable, and members of Con-
gress, Or attaches or foreign legations,
to say nothing of our famished army
officers, from the Western border, who
are able to pass her without one long,
lingering look, deserve a certificate
from a Returning Board composed of
such authorities as Plato and Stoicus.
The gait of these ladies is rather too rap
id for a fat man, but a little too slow
for a lean one. This necessitates, in
the interest of Irritation. frequent stop
pages, and intense scrutiny of the shop
windows as they pass and repass each
Washington Letter.

A Watcher Who Did Not Watch.

An incident that occurred during the
progress of the watch-night services of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
corner of Charles and Fayette Streets,
on Sunday night, caused about IS much
merriment to those who witnessed it as
the sanctity of the place would allow.
Among those present was a very pious
young lady, who was accompanied by
q less pious male escort. The services
were to continue about three hours, but
before one-third OF that had expired
the young gentleman became drowsy,
and was soon s~lumbering gently. The
lady, on hearing something that sound
ed very much like a snore, looked
around, and was mortified TO see her
admirer fast asleep. She became very
angry, and her indignation was in
creased when she noticed thatthe young
mans head was nestled lovingly upon
the shoulder of the lady who sat next
him in the pew. Waiting until his
snoring indicated that his sleep was of
the sonndest character, the young lady
quietly left the pew and proceeded
home alone. When the congregation
rose to sing a hymn the movement of
his pillow woke the young man with a
start. He was, of course, very much
surprised 10 find his fair friend non est,
but when his bewildered mind fully
comprehended the situation in which
he had placed her and the situation in
which she had left him, his look of
Observation-Disclosures -of-myself was
absolutely ludicrous. If he did not fold
his tents like the Arabs, he certainly as
silently stole away.-Baltsmore AmerS-

An ancient burial-place was discov-
cred in Selby, Eng, in 1857; and, at a
depth of six Or seven feet, several
collins, formed of the trunks of trees,
split in two and followed out, were ex-
humed. One of these, now preserved
in the Museum at York, contained the
skeleton of a woman; and near the
neck were lying seven beads, of grad
uated sizes and oval shape. In the GEN.
ter of the skull a small round hole was
detected, resembling the perforation in
the skull of a Roman lady recently dis
covered in an old cemetery at York.
In the. summer of 1876, on the rebuild
ing of a house in Selby, some fifteen or
twenty other tree-coffinsg were disin-
tered. They were closely packed to-
gether at a depth of from five to eight
feet; and, at the head of several, an
upright oaken post, three feet high,
was standing. In four out of seven
collins examined, hazel-rods or twigs
were found in the right hand of the
corpse. There is a record of similar
rods having been found in a cemetery at
Oberfact, Suabia.

Young Markham, from Kentucky,
had been in Pilot Point only a week or
two, visiting the family of MI. Posey.
The cause of the difficulty isnot known.
Flippin and Harrison, both boys, went
during the evening of the difficulty to
Stewards saloon, it is thought for the
purpose of settling some quarrel. they
had had with Markham. Hot words
rensued,~an and Markham went behind the
bar and dreWa pistol, but was prevented
from using lit by Jim Holt who then
induced Flippin and Mack Harrison to
leave. They then went to the dance at
the hotel across the square. Soon after
this young Markham went to the dance
also, and report has it, was called out OF
the room where the dancing was going
on into an adjoining room by FIippin
and Harrison. The difficulty was there
renewed, and after the exchange OF a
few hot words, Flippin drew his pistol
ind fired at Markham wounding him
slightly on the right side of the neck.
| Markham returned the fire, killing
Flippint the frstshot. AS to the shoot
ing of Harrison the evidence is not
clear. Other shots were fired in rapid
succession,, however, and Harrison was
shot through the chin, the ball ranging
downward, and, after passing through
the chin, entered the neck, and still
ranging downward, is thought to have
lodged against the spinal column about
the middle of the back. Harrison was
not dead, but there was little hope of
his recovery. An examination of the
case was in progress.-Shernean Regis
