The DOmestication of the Buffalo.

Col. Ezra Miller, of Mahwah. N. j..
has been making some expert
ments which have led him to the
conclusion that it will pay to
breed butlaloes, both pure blood and
crossed with our domestic cattle. Re-
latlng kis experience with these animals
lately, the colonel said: 81 have proved
to my own satisfaction several points.
First, that butialoes can be tanned.
Second, that 1t doesn't cost one half as
much to keep buffalo as to keep an
ordinary COW. Third. they can be fat
tened AS quickly as ordinary beeves, and
on half the food, and their meat is lust
as good. Fourth, they are as good milk
ers as our Attorneys: ana fifth, they
are good butter makers. The milk OF
the buffalo is little yelower than tina,
OF the Alderney, but very sweet and
rich, and there is more cream than in
the Alderney milk. As to the quantity
of milk given by buffalo cows, tney will
average with the average mixer. The
udder OF the buffalo COW is very small
indeed, but the wilk veins are immense.
This "a provision whereby nature
enables them to run faster than if cum
bered 10y large udder. | am of the
opinicn that the most desirable cross is
with the big Dutch cattle that have such
big udders. l think that crossing them
with our short-horns will give remarka-
bly, good beef. But the beef from our
builaloes more than met my expecta-
tons. 1t was sweet and juicy and ten
der, not ut all like the meat of the
buffalo of the plains.
Now, in drawing the balance be-
tween the buffalo and the ordinary COW,
| find these facts: The buffalo can be
kept Mt one half the cost of the COW:
that's one point for the buffalo. We
Will assume, to give the COW a fair show,
that she yields moro milk and butter.
That balances the account so far. The
buffalo Is fully equal to our stock in the
quality Of meat. So they are still on
even terms but its hide is worth tour
times MS much, so it comes out far
ahead IN the last heat, MS horsemen say.
The hide from my bull was beautiful
specimen. 1t was better than a S25
robe | bought to compare with it. The
fur was longer and finer, the result Of
good feed, think"
The buiIaloes herded with the other
cattle on the best of terms. What sur
prisod the colonel most was their weak
ness. He supposed they were very
powerful; but they are not. He has
seen n yearlipg Aderney bull push
three year old buffalo bull uphill. They
are also very cowardly, very playful,
and very cunning.

tents by men travelling between Yuma

tents by men travelling between Yuma
and Sonora. The upper tanks are ap-
preached only by circuitous and diff
cult climbing over rocks. To one
standing below they afford no indica-
ton OF their existence, nor does the
steep mountain-side seem possible to
ascend to one unacquainted with the
way to do il. In the upper tank water
has never been known to fail. To this
water comes game of all kinds, in
great numbers, from the great waterless
country around Las Tinajas. Antelope,
mountain sheep and dear of several
kinds come in herds. Rabbits and
hares are as plenty rs anywhere and
are prey for many coyotes and beauti.
full rock-foxes.
One would think that all this game
would be thinned out by the Papago
Indians who inhabit the country. But
those Indians are superstiti0us and
avoid Las Tlnalas with ahlect terror.
Within two miles of this water are
certainly 100 graves, and probably more
each marked by rows of stones laid
in the form Of a cross. Scores of men.
famished for water have expended
their last strength IN reaching Las
Tinajas, only to find the lower tanks
dry; and, ignorant of the upper ones,
have lain down in despair to die. Their
remains have been buried by later
travellers and the graves marked Mexi-
can fashion, by n cross of stones Dur
ing the rush to the gold fields Of Cali.

can immigrants along the Platte; pesti-
lence combined with thirst to gather
corpses at Las Tinajas. Recollectlons
of bleaching bones and grinning skulls
protect the game from Papago arrows
and tlint-locks.
After passing through its usual fer
mentatlon, the water becomes clear
and pure as any in the world; it comes
from the clouds only, and flowing into
the tanks over insoluble granite, it car
ries no mineral matter. Every hea "
ram pours n whirling torrent through
the tanks, washing them out to the
very bottom; no organic matter stays
behind. The number and variety of
birds mere is marvellous, many of
them appearing of new and undescribed
species. AT morning and evening the
din Of their songs, confined by the
sides of the mountain, is almost deaf
ening. All around Las .i'najas is the
remarkable vegetation OF the desert;
near its tanks are many and curious
plants nourished by their moisture,
The place is one of much interest.

Competitions.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Eight sweet Florida oranges for
dime, here; fifteen cents Il dozenp
bawled an orange peddler,as he stopped
his wagon close to the curbstone on
Fifth street yesterday, where small
crowd was congregated.
Another peddlcr Of oranges drew up
to the same spot and went him one bet
ter, rs follows:
Eight sweet Florida oranges for
nine cents; the only oranges in the state
Of Ohio that are fit to eat"
Eight sweet oranges for eight cents"
screamed No. !; erich and juicy, and
not picked by yellow-fever patients,
like some oranges know Of.
Eight large, fine oranges for seven
cents" retorled No. 9, and the crowd be-
gan to manifest an interest in the pro-
ceedings.
Eight delicious oranges for six
cents" yelled No. !, and looked black
AS the Moor of Venice, at his competi-
tor.
Fight overgrown oranges for five
cents, and they're the only oranges in
the city not stuffed with sawdust."
Eight for four cen,sl'
Eight for three oentsr
Eight for two centsl"
Eight for one cent"
Eight for-nuthin, by gracious"
yelled the desperate dealer.
"Nuf ced!"--exclaimed his rival,
leaping to the ground and beginning to
transfer the eight-for-nothing fruit into
his own wagon; "nuf ced, yer oranges
amt worth no more than that nohow,
but seem its you, III take the whole
lot at that price" and all the while he
was scooping them cut in handfuls Of a
dozen.
"Ill take hatful at them fggers'
yelled newsboy, as he climbed upon
the wheel.
"So'll l." screamed another.
Hare, tool"
Make room on that wheel for
uncle!"
The unfortunate man whose stock
WAS being reduced at such Improbable
figures whipped up his horse and es-
capped with few oranges under the
seat, and as he whrled around a cor
ner he stopped swearing long enough
to say that he could lick the man that
said competition was the life of trade.

Supper in Vienna.
Llppincott's Magazine.

Supper is Il joyous festival with n
very large class of the Niennese. The
theatres are closed and the audiences
are on their way home by $3.50 or 10
O clock, and father, mother, sons and
daughters stop to sup in one of the inn
mense underground restaurants which
SO astonish the stranger. Stairways,
broad, beautifully decorated, and illu-
minated, lead down into the very bow
els Of the earth, and there are spacious
saloons where thousands of people may
be seen supping together. The smoke
clouds rise from lnnumerable cigars,
but mysterously disappear The beer
boys, little pale-faced fellows in black
dress coats, shout and run until ii seems
to the locker on as if their legs would
come of. Laughter is universal but
never rode or repulsive. All classes
meet in these basement restaurants,
but never clash. Prices are moderate
and food is good The Vienese cuisine
is as excellent as that of Berlin is afro
cious. The Frenchman who accused
the Prussians Of putting sugar IN their
beefsteaks and beating their wives could
not repeat his criticisms in Vienna. The
Austrian is much more refined in his
taste and manners than his conquerors.
| regret that he initiates them in one
particular: he persists in eating with his
knife. How he manages to do it so dex-
terously without cutting his throat is a
puzzle. The quantities OF beer con-
sumed are startling, but the climate
seems to allow Of more drinking than
would be possible in America. Intoxi-
cation is almost unknown, at least in
public. ia some restaurants above
ground variety performance Is carrl-
ed on upon vast stage from to II IN
the evening. Officers and their wives,
family groups, strangers and children,
go to take their suppers at the Orphen-
UNI, the most unique restaurant 1t was
over my fortune to enter. A. favorite
comic singer makes his appearance at
about 10 o'clock each evening, and sings
local ditties, in the choruses Of which
the audience-if audience it may be
called-joins with gravity and an
JUNCTION which are extremely amusing.
The time-worn ballads Of Augustin, one
of the ancient street-singers Of Vienna,
are still repeated with affection, and
sturdy voices roll out in the most natural
and unaffected manner the words,

THE stagnant water which has been
suffered for years TO accumulate and
breed fevers and frogs in the Coliseum
at Rome has been drained off at last
An ancient sewer, extending from the
n,eta suda1as in the Tiber, was discover
ed, and was connected with a drain
from the Coliseum. The water was adj
mitted into this ancient sewer on the
Sd Of March, and the flood which filled
the basement story Of the famous am
phitheatre Of Flavius was gradually
drawn off. In cleansing the sewer there
were found quantity of ancient lamps
with gladiatorial onamentation, hui
man skulls and bones of animals.
Much of the old Roman road in the
Foro Romano Is now exposed to view,
and the ruins Of shopC. of the gold aud
silver smiths are visible.

SELMA Argus: Every day it is tele-
gfaphed that there is no yellow fever in
the south. OF course there is none now.
But not a southern city has enforced
sanitary regulations to make the yellow
fever impossible next sumner. 1t Is
cheaper to cleanse than to quarantine;
and cleansing will iniallibly protect,
which quarantine never did. There is

Near wore pair of boots that gave as
much pain to bis feet as they did plea

A MINISTER in the Italian chamber,
speaking on the subject of capital pun
ishment few years ago, remarked that
Italy was the country in which they
killed most and hanged least, while
England was the country where they
killed least and hanged most. With
the most atrocious criminals to deal
with, the hangmans Office has always
been all but sinecure even in Naples;
and now it seems that Passanante, the
ex-cook of Salerno, condemned to death
by Jury Of his countlymen. is likely to
have his sentence commuted by the roy

What boys Should BE.

First BE true--be genuine, No cdu-
cation is worth any thing that does not
include this A man had better not
know how to read-he had better never
learn .etter of the alphabet, aud be true
and genuine in intention and in action,
rather than being learned in all sciences
and in all languages, to be at the same
time false in heart u counterfeit in life.
Second Be pure in thought, language
pure in mind and body, An impure
man, young or old, poisoning the society
where he moves with smutty stories and
impure examples, is moral ulcer, pla
que spot, leper who ought to be treat
cd as were the lepers Of old.
Third: BE unslffsh. 70 care for tht
feelings and comforts of others. To bt
polite. To be just in all dealings with
others To be generous, noble, and man
ly.
Fourth; Be sclf-reliant and self help
full even from early childhood. To ha
industrious always, and self-supportine
at the earliest proper age. Teach then
that an idle, useless lifo of dependence
on others is disgraceful.
When boy has learned these foul
things, when he has made these ideas t

be, however poor, or however rich--h,
has learned some of the most importan
things he ought to know when he be

Tho following letter VIC copy from the
Fort Smith Independent, of the goth:
WALDRoN, ARK, Aug. 16, 1870.
Editors Independent:
About six o'clock this evening Walter
B. Malone left his place of business, went
home, whipped and beat his wife; then
he shut and made fast the doors of his
house, leaving his wife inside, and went
back to his place of business. While he
was gone his wife broke out through the
window and went to the house Of Mr..
Thomas II. Maley, and asked for protect
ion. She said that Walter was going for
his revolver to shoot her. In a few min,
utes Malone passed back towards his res
idence with his revolver, and Sheriff
Samuel Leming was walking along in
the same direction talking to Malone
Both walked on until they got to Nal
ones yard fence; Malone got over the
fence and the Sheriff stopped at or on
the fence. About that time the report
of fire arms was heard Leming fred two
shots, and Malone three. Leming re-
ceivied two wounds, one on the finger
of his abdomen, just below the umbilcus
ranging towards the loft hipjoint. Nal
one then fled, and attempted to make
his escape. Leming being unable to pur
sue Malone, hc called upon the people
OF tho town, at least those that were il
hearing of him to arrest Malone and no
let him get away. Many of the peopl,
responded to the call of tho Sheriff, ant
were soon in pursuit of Malone. In ;
few moments the report Of fire arms wa'
heard in the direction Malone went
Three shots were fired by tho pursuing
party at Malone, one of the shots taking
effect just below the right shoulder noa
the backbone, and was cut out about fou
inches above the right nipple. Samue
Leming was carried to tho house of DR.
Isaac Lcming, and w. b. Malone wa
carried to his home. Both Leming ant
Malone are believed to be mortal,
wounded.

Cotton Premiums.

The merchants of Van Buren, have offered
u special premium of one hundred and fifty
dollars on cotton raised in Crawford county
and the Cherokee Nation, and which will be
sold to, or shipped by merchant or citizen
of Van Buren; these premiums are indie
pendent and wholly outside of any premium
offered by the Crawford county Agricultural
and Mechanical Association, and require no
entrance fee; but the same parties offering
their cotton, grown In Crawford county, for
the merchants special premium. can offer the
same for contest in the Crawford county A
Il NJ. Association, upon payment of the en-
trance fee of $3.50 II bale. The entrees OF
cotton for the Van Buren, Merchants Prcni
um, will be made in the same manner, and
be governed by tie same rules as that offered
tor the A. & NJ. Association.
The Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
ton also offer $4,000 in cotton premiums
thus making total of $500 90 offered in cot
ton premiums. The award of prizes is to be
made on the first Tuesday of December 1879
The amount of prizes Offered, should be a
great incentive to our farmers to make a con-
test for the prizes; and we hope to sec oul
friends in the Cherokee Nation, also, well
represented in the contest for the merchants
premium.

low tub, in their short red petticoats,
with their naked brown feet; then they
joined hands and began to go round and
round and round, singing and laughing
and dancing as they went. They were
trcading out the wine. They were black
eyed and beautiful they were lightheart-
cd and happy. They had storms of black
and abundant hair over their shoulders
They showed the pretticst white teeth
in the world, ~ they lifted their happy
faces aud circled round and round, and
trampled the grapes, until they stood
knee deep in the vino. AT first did
not like to drink this wine, because did
not think il was clean. But | afterwards
watched them at their work more close

If you people want TO do q big thing
for Arkansas, Kansas, tho Indian coun-
try, New Mexico, and this state, you will
extend the Fort Smith road to Musogee,
and thence up the Arkansas river to

there make connections with tho system
of railroads in this state and Kansas,
and then build u road, from Alma or Van
Buren, via. Fayetteville to Pierce City,
thus connecting with the road to Kansas
City. Then complete the road between
Little Rock and Pine Bluff. That done,
you will have market all through this
section of country for your lumber, fruit
and vegetables, and in return this coun-
try will have a short and oasy route for
its grain. | advise you to go to work
and build these roads at once. There
