WITH THE CARCASSES OF STA RV-

WdtSOnUiue, CM., Correspondence.
1t is estimated that from one-half to
two-thirds OF the sheep IN the State have
perished from starvation. The loss OF
cattle is not so large. as they were taken
to the mountains in time. DIR. Swain of
Watsonville, started for the mountains
from Fresno on the 21st with over 5000
sheep, and the lifeless carcasses of over
$500 of them now mark the,rOute taken.
The doctor says that unclaimed dead
and dying sheep cover the plains, and
hundreds of sheep and lambs fall into
line behind the wagon of the traveller
and follow, in the hope of getting NOR
sci of hay. One man from the San Joa-
quin valley lost every sheep he had-11,-
O00-during a storm, and went home a
penniless man. Another, an Italian,
thought he could save the cost of ferry-
ing his sheep across the Toulumue river
by swimming them, and 800 were drown
ed in the attempt.
Another man, east of Visalia despairing
of ever getting his sheep to where there
was feed, turned $4,000 out to starve. If
he undertook to drive them to the noun
tains many ofthem must die of starvation
before reaching there, because there is no
feed on the way, and then when the
mountains are reached all the good feed
is already taken up bymen who hold pos
session, shot gun in hand, and who are
desperate enough to fight to the death.
There will probably be a good many
cases of bloodshed and death in the
mountains this summer, and many stock
men will mysteriously disappear to re-
turn no more.

The Military Salute.

A correspondent of the Army and
Navy Gazette writes: "Within the last
few years, among the many changes
which have been introduced into the
army is that of the salute. Why the
old time-honored salute was abolished,
no one knows but it is an interesting
fact, and one probably unknown to
most of our readers, that the old salute,
which consisted of the hand being
brought to horizontal position over
the eyebrows, has a very old origin,
dating, in fact, from the very COM
mencement of English army. Its ORR
gin is found In the tournaments of the
middle ages, and was as follows: After
the Queen of Beauty was enthroned,
the knights who were to take part in
the sports of the day marched past the
dias On which she sat, and, as they
passed they shielded their eyes from
the rays of her beauty. Such was the
very interesting origin of the old salute;
and it is question worthy the atten-
ton of our military, authorities, why
should not the old salute possessing
suoh an origin, and associated with our
army from the earliest time, be
restored? It is difficult to discover for
what purpose 1t was ever abolished"

4 Coed nhOt.

Mr.. Conway, in his last letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial, tells romantic
STORY. While a sportsman was out
shooting, a stray shot entered one of
his eyes and extinguished it. This
gentleman was highly educated and
connected, though without fortune,
and he was only twenty-three years Of
age. He was taken to his lodging
house in London, where he lay suffer
ing. But a wealthy and handsome
young widow, on whose estates he hap
pened to be shooting when the accident
occurred, took up her abode in the
same house In order to nurse him. Her
care was extended through several
weeks, but, alas the other eye sympa-
thized with that which had been put
out, and that, too, was extinguished
leaving the youth and scholar hope
lessly and totally blind. But the pref
ty widow was equal to the occasion.
She proposed to him-marriage. The
result was splendid company alight-
ing at the door of fashionable church
In the neighborhood; beautiful dame
of thirty, attended by her two little
Children, leading blind youth of TWEEN
ty-three to the altar.

The Mines of Durango.

In the state of Durango, Mexico,
about 5000 above the sea, there is a re-
markable tin-bearing district more than
twenty miles in extent, concerning
which few particulars have been
made public. By sinking of shafts it
has been ascertained that stream tin
and ore abound over the whole district.
The ore is found loose in the veins in
irregular rounded masses from the size
of q pins head to that of a mans head;
and the supply is SO great that "me-
tallic tin can be produced at cost of 2
cents a pound. There are 900 veins
already known, and more than 500
drifts of stream tin. A visitor to the
spot is of opinion that the tin ore is
still forming. A portion of the vein
was left standing in 1864. On examjn-
ing the place In a subsequent visit In
1870, he found that the new "flms or
layers of cassiterite had been deposit
ed, and in some places noticed that pc
culiar variety known as toad's-eye-tin,
which he believed had formed during
his absence"

The Priest and the Eurge0n,

A French journal says that famous
French surgeon, lately deceased, who
was brusque and unpublished, found, on
entering his house one day, an old
priest who had been long waiting his
return.
"What do you want of me?"
want you to look at this" meekly
rejoined the priest, taking off an old
WOODEN cravat, which revealed on the
nape of his neck a hideous tumor.
"You'll have to die with that" re-
marked the surgeon.
II thank you, DOCTOR" simply re-
piled the priest, replacing his cravat,
"and I am much obliged to you for
warning me, for 1 can prepare myself,
as well as my poer parishioners, who
love me very much"
The surgeon, who was never aston
ished at great things, looked upon this
priest, who received his death sentence
unmoved, with amazement, and said:
"COme tomorrow, at eight O'Clock,
to'the Hotel Dieu, and ask for me-"
The priest was prompt. The surgeon
procured for him special room, and
In month the man went out cured.
When leaving he took out of his sack
thirty francs.
at is all I have to offer you, doc
tor" he said; 81 came here ON foot
from Rouen in order to save this.
The doctor looked at the money,
smiled, and drawing handful of gold
from his pocket, put it in the bag along
with the thirty francs, saying: cit is
for your poor" and the priest went
away. Some years later the surgeon,
feeling death to be near, bethought
him of the priest and wrote to him.
He came at once, and the surgeon re-
ton of religion
