The Criminal Waste of Buffalo Meat on The
Plains of Texas.

Iuc tTiiiiHil NuStc vi DundiV .htit WI tut
Plains Of Texas. rs...
Fort Concho is situated on the brow
of a plateau, just above the middle, or
main, Concho and the North Concho
rivers. The post commands an extern
sive view Of the country, and at a dis
tance it presents the appearance of n
miniature city. Within a few hundred
yards of the post, on the opposite side
of the north Concho, is the village of
San Angela. Besides the trade from
the post, much of which is done by the
merchants of San Angela, here is the
headquarters for the army of buffalo
hunters during the Winter months,
and acres of ground are covered, even
up to this time, with buffalo hides,
some in piles like large haystacks,
while great numbers arelaid out to dry,
preparatory to being shipped to San
Antonio. 1t is estimated that owe
1000 men were engaged last Winter in
killing buffalo for their hides in Tom
Green county alone, and that at least
$4,000 have been brought into San An
gela during that time. 1t is also be-
lieved that 100, 900 buffalo hides have
been shipped during the Winter and
Spring from Fort Griffin. Two hun
dred thousand is probably an under es-
innate of the number of buffalo des-
troyed annually in Texas, only for their
hides. The flesh of these animals,
which is superior to beef, and which is
thus left to rot or feed the wolves
and buzzards, could it have been avail
ed of, would have furnished an ample
supply of food to the starving poor of
our cities during the past Winter

Ineident Of lhe Custer Massnere.

A touching incident has just occur
red in connection with the death of
Lieut.. WIN. Van Kelley, who fell with
Custer in that terrible fight on the Lit
tie Big Horn, last year. At the time
of the battle he wore q seal ring with
his crest cut upon it, and this, together
with his clothing, his sword, his pistols.
and all his belongings, was torn fromhIs
dead body and carried away by some of
the foe who had helped to kill him. His
mother, unable to secure his remains,
and longing for something that had
been with him to the last, tried in
every way to recover it. She offered
immense reward, she had fac-similes
of the die made and sent to the differ
ent agencies along the frontier, and
she wrote to all the commanding Off
GERS, in the Sioux country, describing
it, and a few days since she received
official notice from the wal department
that the ring had been found. 1t was
taken from the finger of one of the if
teen hundred Cheyennes who came in
the other day for their annual supply of
forgiveness and ammunition. [Cincin-

Talent will Tell.

One of the remarkable things about
New York is the marvellous number of
third-rate men we have in business.
We have hundred of lawyers, yet if a
hrst-class case m up you can count
one of ten men who will conduct the
case. You can find a hundred men
who can engraye a portrait for a dime
novel or a police gazette, but not two
in two hundred could cut a fine en-
craving. A thousand men could build
a road-bed, but not one in a thousand
could engineer the track. On the
street a dozen men rule the Bull side
and the Bear side. The rest are mere
subordinateS. The professions, call
ings and trades are crowded with small
men, yet talent is at o premium and
capable men are in demand. A we'll
known financier has just accepted the
position of Cashier of the Nevada Bank
ON the pleasant little salary of $4,000
a year. He has brains. probably, and
executive force.-Burleigh in Boston

Pleased with the task, he little thinks
How hard that chain Will press at last.

He would do all that he had done.'

Lavish.d unwisely, carelessly:
OF counsel wrecked; of talents, made

But of, like Isrnel's Incense laid
Upon unholy earthly shrines;
ofnursing many q wrong desire:
OF wandering after love too far.

With power to add, retouch, efince

protection Of our school property, Posted con-

offering a reward of $500 Ito any person giving
information which will lead to the detection and
punishment of persons trespassing on the prem

by class of goddess youth, not only in the de-
struction Of property, but in the perpetuation of
acts offensive to decency and good manners, call
loudly for correction; and 1t Is to be hoped the
perpetrators will be arrested and summarily dealt
with. The abuse or neglect Of school property, Is

heard an old resldenter say that he had seen the
first animal show ever exhibited in Canton. There
wasn't much display about 1t, as 1t consisted of
an elephant and two monkeys, all told. The

the price of admission was 25 cents. The Band

show business has improved since that day."

would not have played.
