A Texas Horror.

Last evening one of the most horri-
BILE reports that have yet been circulated
on our streets became current, but it
was of such a terrible nature that
people talked about it in low voices
and with a feeling of dread. A deep
well or cistern has been found about
fifteen miles from the city, to which
attention had been called by a sicken-
ing stencil arising from it, and an in
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
cistern was half-full of the dead bodies
of men, women and children. The
mangled bodies have been thrown in
all positions and conditions. Some had
their Threats cut; others were stabbed
through the hearts; others again had
their brains blown out. In n house
neal by was found secreted about SIS,
600 in money and a large lot of jewelry
and other valuables, and an old bag o.

our Method for Branding Cattle

The Shoe and Leather Reporter, an
eastern publication, has the following
to say on the subject of Colorado
brands: A circular, of n size nearly as
large as a newspaper, published ut
Denver, giving the principal stock
brands of cattle grown in Colorado,
shows that the evil of branded hides is
not confined to Texas, and the subject
of loss by branding in the new cattle
raising section should receive attention
from the national convention of
tanners, from whom a strong protest
should be made against the growing
evil. We give illustrations of several
brands, as published by the Colorado
Growers association, that tanners may
see how hides are disfigured in this
region. We have become accustomed
to Texas brands, and where cattle roam
at large over such extensive
ranches there may be some eason for
the branding, but there is no more
need of branding cattle in Colorado
than in Iowa or Minnesota. The
attention Of western tanners has al
ready been called to this evil practice,
and there is a growing disposition to
pay less price for branded hides, or, if
possible, to leave them alone altogether.
Some of these stock raisers put the
brands on both sides of the animal.
The brands on the cattle of Joseph p.
Farmer, president of the association,
seems to be the worst of any in a list of
over fifty brands given in this official
circular. The Colorado ranchmen are
raising Texas cattle from yearlings up
to a four year old, and these already
have a brand in Texas. Then they
have what is known as n ''road-
brand" put on for Identification when
being driven through the state, and
when purchased in Colorado another
brand can be added. This matter
should be the subject of legislation il
there is no other way of stopping it,
for this practice destroys millions OF
dollars in value of the hides, and is 4
cruelty to the animals rendered unnec.
essary in the state where it is practiced,
Some of the brands we show are of
more damage to the hide than twenty
grubs would be. The drive of Texas
cattle is now over for the season, and
more than 100000 have been sold tc
the Colorado ranchmen. AS many
more have been sent. through by rail. II
is estimated that between Goo, 600 and
100000 cattle were driven out of Texas
this year and sold to ranchmen and
packers. Colorado is raising more
cattle every year, and this practice OF
branding should be discontinued. The
annual drive from Texas is now, say.
100000 a year. These do not all CONF

A Word TO Boys.

What do you think, young friends,
of the hundreds of thousands who are
trying to cheat themselves and others
into the belief that alcoholic drinks
are good for them ? Are they not TO
be pitied and blamed ? Do you want
to be one of these wretehed men ? II
we are to have drunkards in the
future, some OF them are to come
from the boys to whom am writing /;
and ask you again II you want to be
one of them No? OF course you
don't
Well, have plan for you that is
lust as sure to save you from such q
fate as the sun is to rise tomorrow
morning. 1t never failed it never
will fail it cannot fail and 1 think
it is worth knowing. Never touch
Eiqltor in any form. That's the plan,
and It is not only worth knowing, but
it is worth putting into practice.
l know you don't drink now, and it
seems to you IS II you never would.
Bat your temptation will come, and it
probably will come Ia this way:
You will find yourself, some time,
with q number Of companions, and
they will nave bottle OF wine on
the table. They will drink, and offer
II to you. They will regard it as
manly practice, and, very likely, they
will LOOK upon you as q milksop IL
you don't indulge with them. Then
what will you do }? Eh =? What will
YOU do? Will you say, "BOys, none
of that stuff for me! l know 8 trick
worth haIf-a-dozen OF that?n Or will
you take the glass, with your own
common sense protesting, and your
conscience making the whole draught
bitter, and 8 feeling that you have
damaged yourself, and then go of
with q hot head and q skulking soul
that at once begins to make apologies
for itself-just as the soul OF Colonel
Backus does, and will keep doing du-
ring all his life ?-J q. Holland, in

Corn Markers.

Corn markers are useful sveryvhere
-~itn the fArmer who plants q few
zSress so and With him who grows his
~, or luO acres, and uses horse-plsn-
ting machine. For the farmer who
plants but little corn, the following is
the cheapest marker that can be made
to be drawn by hcrse Take a ioist
Sxo, and make three runners, each
three or four feet long, rounding 10
the front ends on the lower side. You
tnen take inch boards and nail them
with 10 penny nails 70 these three
runners, placing them three and 3
hall feet apart, o. wider II You please,
nom center to center. The mailing
must be strongly done. The next
thing 70 do Is to attach pair ofskafts
70 II; and green hickory, oak, or
other strong poles viii answer
the purpose and they NAV
be attached by boring inch
holes diagOnalIy through 4 niece
OF Jolst 4X4, to suit the position OF the
shafts and then nail il to the top Of
the marker in . substantial manner
nom the under sides. Spikes might
be used 70 advantage in securing this
piece OF timber. IL the ends Of the
shafts be vedged In well, they will
not get loose. This Is q marker that
may be made In an hour or two: and
it will make two rows at q time, one
runner following the outside mark.
A Wheel-right could, IL desired, make
runner on this plan, with q pair OF
shafts properly attached, which would
last q lifetime. Handles MAJ also
be attached to II, and the top so made
that q stone weight may be laid upon
lh and keep its position, II it should
be needed TO make the marks palmer.
A much better marker NAV be
made to run on wheels, as follows /:
Have two small wheels made, not
over three feet in diameter, t. which
put an axle Of q length Of four rows
two made by the wheels and two for
inside attachments, on the ends Of
which are secured q couple lone to
eaeh) Of ordinary eultiVator teeth,
say three and \ half feet apart, thus
making four marks that distance
from each other. A tongue for two
horses should be made, also q seat for
the driver and In its operation three
rows are marked at 3 time, one wheel
going in the last row made 81 q
guide.
Another way, but one never adopt
ed, is 10 get up something on the plan
OF an ordinary horse cultivAtOr, with
only three teeth, aud the marker so
made that it can be adjusted for corn,
or rows for anything else, as for beans,
turnips, etc. Such = marker would
not cost over about S., aud It would
be very useful.

said
"Unele what do you think dreamed

The General replied that he could

tain Lewis, continuing to laugh mer-
rily, replied
"Why 1 dreamed you gave me
your farm on Deep Rum"
"Humph I" calculated his un lie.
"You had better have dreamed gave
you Mount Vernon"
No more was said on the subject,
and Captain Lewis hsd quite forgot
ten his unmeaning dream as he
placed his wife In the carriage, and
bade his uncle and aunt goodbye
Washington followed him to the car
riage, and handed him folded paper,
saying as he did so "YOu can look
at that when you reach home"
Lewis received the paper in

bound to suffer the psngs Of curiosity

had no such conscientious seruples; she

So soon the burning blood must pale,
