The Fate of a Herd of BuffalOeS.

An army officer who recently arrived
in Chicago from the Yellowstone val
ley, tells story of what happened to a
herd of butfaloes as they were migrat-
ing southwark. The herd numbered
$500 head and had been driven out Of
the Milk river country by the Indian
hunters belonging to Sitting Bulls
band. When they reached the river
they ventured on the ice with custom
airy confidence, coming upon it with
solid front, and beginning the crossing
with closed ranks. The stream at this
point was very deep. When the front
rank, which was stretched out quar-
ter of u mile in length, had nearly
gained the opposite shore, the ice sud
denly gave way under them. Some
trappers who were eye-witnesses of the
scene said it seemed as if a trench had
been opened in the ice tho whole
length of the column. Some four or
five hundred animals tumbled into the
opening all in heap. Others fell in
in u twinkling. by this time the ice
was breaking under the still advancing
herd. The trappers say that in less
than q minute the whole body of buff
faloes had been precipitated into the
river. They were wedged in so thickly
that they could do nothing but struggle
for second and then disappear beneath
the cakes OF ice of the swift current.
Not beast in all that mighty herd
tried to escape, but in a solid phalanx
they marched to their fatal bath in the
4" Big Muddy" In minute from the
time the first ice broke not u buffalo's
head or tail was to be seen.
Possible occurrences OF this sort, in
ancient tertiary times, helped to form
the remarkable deposits of bones found
in the old lake beds of the great west
and elsewhere. In these deposits the
earth is literally crowded with the
bones. sometimes chiefly one type,
sometimes comprising many distinct
species. In the latter case the victims
were probably swept away by sudden
floods, their remains mingling con-
fusedly in quiet basins.

The LONDON CABMEN.-The Prince
of Wales lately presided ct the annual
meeting of the London Cabmen's Ben
evolent Association. The Prince de-
clared the London cabmen to be "hon-
est, persevering and enduring" and
" thoroughly deserving of sympathy"
" As proof of that" said the Prince,
81 have statistics here before me which
state that last year there were between
sixteen and seventeen thousand articles
left in cabs, amounting in value to
about 500, 900, which have been pune :
tuslly returned. I believe-at least, it
is the popular belief-that there is only
one article q cabmsn never returns, and
that is an umbrella. and that is, we may
consider, quite fair. Agentleman hay
ing an umbrella may not want cab,
but without an umbrella he will be
compelled to take cab if the rain
comes on. (Laughter.) There are
now between eleven thousand and
twelve thousand cabmen, and the
amount OF the expense in cab fares
comes to most colossal sum, some
thing between "a, 100000 and $780,
OO0." This shows that cabby" in
London is a character of large public
Importance.

Children of One Father.

A touching incident occurred the
other day in one of the great hospitals
in New York. A young man was
brought into it seriously injured by o
fall from horse. He fingered for two
or three days, during which time the
matron read from the Bible to him,
talked to HMM short, tried as best
she could to fill the place of his dead
mother to the dying lad.
One day, feeling that he was fast
sinking, he asked for a Clergyman. One
WAS brought quickly, u young man, the
pastor of neighboring Baptist Church.
AS he took the boys hand in his, and
spoke to him earnestly of Christ's love,
several pale faces were raised from the
rows of beds that lined the ward on
either side, listening attentively, many
of them with eyes wet with tears.
Lord, l believe p whispered the
dying man. Then the Clergyman knelt,
praying that God might receive the
soul of his departing brother. At the
bedside also knelt the Episcopalian
matron, two Roman Catholic Sisters of
Mercy, and from the beds of the pa
tients came hearty Methodist Amens
When the little company rose from
their knees and looked down upon the
calm dead face, they did not remember
that they belonged to different sects.
They were all children of one father,
and He was very near.
When the seven men imprisoned in a
Pennsylvania coal-mine lately were
rescued after five days Imprisonment,
they were asked if they hoped to es'
cape.
We prayed for it," was the reverent
reply. 1--WE prayed together. Some
were Professionals, and some Catholics,
but when deaths as close as that, you
only think of God"

Rudencss ReprOved.

Some men are rude in nature and
rough in manners. Their moral per-
ceptions are obtuse. They have no
delicacy they feel with their thumbs.
They can only be taught propriety by
snubbing them.
Gen. Scott once met such =" snob "
at a London dinner.party. The Gen
eral at the conclusion of the war of
1S12-lJ, being on a visit to Englsnd,
was invited to dine at Lord Hollands.
Several n"bleman were present, and
also the captain of the Be!ierophon, the
vessel on which Napoleon was received
when he yielded himself prisoner.
One OF the noblemen was the Earl OF
Lauaerdale. a near relative to the naval
officer This c,ptain was loud and
rude, and very jealous of the success
Of the American navy in the recent war,
feeling he shared with many English
naval officers.
Their jealousy lead them to depreci-
ate our naval victories. Whenever
they were in the habit of asserting
one of our vessels captured British
ship, the victory was due to the fact
that the American was superior in the
size of the ship, and in the number of
guns and men, to the Englishman.
Americans, they said, built line-of-bat-
tie ships, and called them frigates.
English vessels, on the contrary, were
just what they were ramed.
After the ladies' had retired, this cap
tain, turning to Scott, asked, in sheer
ing tone.-
"Do you Americans continue to
build liro-of battle ships, and to call
them frigates -
"The Americans" replied Gen. Scott,
have borrowed many excellent things
from the mother country, but they
have also borrowed some that are dis
creditable to both parties, and among
these is the practice in question. When
you took the Guerrero from the French,
she mounted forty-nine guns. You,
however, rated her on your naval list a
thirty.six gun frigate but when we
captured her from you. we found on
board her original battery Of forty
nine guns"
"Gen. Scott" sal the Earl of Lau-
derdale, II am delighted with your
reply to my kinsman."

An Improved " Maud Muller"

doubtless. majority of the readers
OF Winters Maud Muller" have
wished that the poem had ended with
the marriage of the dignitied Judge to
the fair hay-raker. An incident of the
life of the eccentric Judge Brecken-
ridge, of Pittsburgh, would have JUS
titled such q pleasing finale to the touch
ing ballad.
The Judge, who was an independent
sort OF man, much given to having his
own way, rode up, one day, to tavern
in mountainous district in Pennsylva-
MIA. A handsome girl appeared to offer
her services as hostler. She mounted
the horse, rode him of to spring, and
IN returning, jumped him over FIVE
barred gate.
The Judge looked on with admiration.
The girl pleased him, and he made in
quiries about her. She proved to be
the landlords daughter, and to be SO
worthy that the Judge resolved that she
should be Mrs. Breckenridge.
tie proposed and was accepted. But
there was an obstacle to immeiia mar
riage. The girl was q diamond, but
roug b one, and needed polish and set
ting before she could appear in the So
ciety in which her intended husband
moved.
The Judge took her to lady in Phil
adelP&,a, the head of fashionable
scho99,or girls. "What, sir. will you
have her taught ?" asked the lady. after
the Judge had explained who was his
charge and for what purpose he de-
sired her education.
Madam, dress and address,"
Sir, it shall be DONE"
And 1T was; and that SO elfectually
that Mrs. Breckenridge was noted az an
elegant and accomplished lady.
A story is told Of two Epglishmer
who started from Denver, Col, for a
walk to the mountains before breakfast,
an apparently easy task, as the noun
tains did not appear to be more than a
mile or two away. After walking for
an hour without seeming to have made
any progress toward the desired goal,
one of them became discouraged, and
concluded to return for his breakfast :;
afterward, he took'a carriage and went
III search of his friend, whom he found
on the bank of small ditch, engaged
in removing his boots. His friend in
quired what he intended to do? He
replied, to wade the ditch. His friend
said there was no necessity for that, as
1T was less than three feet across, and
he could easily jump it. "You can't
tell anything about it in this country, 4"
responded the other it may be three
hundred feet across for aught know"
his morning walk proved to extend
about fifteen miles before he reached
the foot hills.

misfortune to be prosecuted and pun
ished for what he never did, and to
have done things which surprise one
on the part of a scholar and man of
taste, but which are not criminal in
themselves. Under the empire he was
transported to Lambese for an alleged
participation in an imaginary plot. He
escaped, and returned to France after
the amnesty of 1859, when he waged
such war against the empire with his
pen as the then regime admitted of.

he distinguished himself in that ca
pacity was discovering the Prince de
Joinville, who was then serving as a
common gunner in the army of the
Loire. He had him arrested and sent
out of the country. He withdrew from
the Commune Immediately after the
decree relating to the execution of the
hostages. He sat in the Chamber of
1871 for nearly two years, when some
one discovered that he ought to have
been tried by court martial for partici-
patton in the Commune. He escaped
to Belgium, and has been throughout

The Scared Face.

When was crossing one Of the
mountains OF California last summer
in stsge-cosch, the driver said to me,
Pretty soon you will see Mountain
Charley He is generally about the
door Of his cabin when the stage goes
by"
In few minutes we came to u small
house in the forest, and in the door
yard stood rough frontiersman, whose
eyes and face we're SO disfgured that
they presented q terrible appearance.
Mountain Charley las the people call
him) had fight with = grizzly bear
many years ago. The poor man will
carry the scars of that terrible fight to
his dying day.
As looked at the marks of the
bears claws on Mountain Charley's
countenance, l thought how sin in the
same manner leaves its scar upon per-
sons character. For example, a boy
is detected IN telling lie. He is very
sorry for it, and begs bis parents to for.
give him. He asks God to forgive him.
too, but for u good while there is not
the same confidence in that boys word
that there had been before. He still
carries for some time the ser of that
falsehood.
1 knew young man who, under
strong temptation, helped himself to
some Of his employers money. Bit
terly he suffered for his sin against
Gods commandment. Probably he
has never touched single dime dis
honestly since he repented of that first
transgression, yet he brought on him
self great shame and suffering. His
character got an ugly scar which will
require many years for him to outgrow.
Rev. DIR. M was an excellent and
useful minister, but in his early life he
had injured his health by habits of
RIGHTEOUSNESS. Gods grace made DR..
M an instrument of great good to
others, but it did not get the bad effects
of early sin out of his bodily con&titu-
ton. He carried the scar until the asst
day of his life.
These cases, and many more might
name, are warnings to the young. Sin
is ferocious beast of prey" If sin
does not destroy the character and the
soul outright. it mains the transgressor,
and leaves terrible scar. King David
was once tempted to sin, and fell. The
51st Psalm shows the bruises of that
fall. Joseph was also tempted. He
stood true to conscience and to God,
and We discover no scar of wrong-do-
ing on his noble and beautiful charac-
ter.-1heodore L. Cuyler, d. D., in

Laughing at a Naturalist.

Every school-boy now knows that
whale is not fish. But when natural"
lists first announced the fact, they were
laughed Mt by the ignorant. Mr.. Mans
field, an old gentleman, tells, in the
"reminiscences of his youth, how DR..
Mitchill, distinguished physician OF
New York, was thus ridiculed:
He was, at one time, United States
Senator from New York, but that was
the least of his distinctions. He was
chiefly known as u naturalist (being
pioneer in this country of that depart
ment of learning, and, was in fact, q
learned man.
He was very fond of natural history,
and taught the public mind many
things which now seem very simple.
There was quite controversy in the
newspapers because Mitchill said, in
some statement, that whale was not
fish
The public took it for granted that
anything which swan in water was a
fish. A whale is no more fish than
bird. The whale belongs to the class
of mammalia.
II was ON account of some Of his nat
urhl-history pecullarltles, and other
what are called notions" that the
wags, often very ignorant Of such
things, made fun of him.
He insisted upon calling the United
States Fredonia," because "Colum-
bia was wrong. Columbus did not dis
cover the United States, and States !"
did not mean anything but Fredonia
would signify the land Of freedom.
Some wit, in reference to these pc
culiarities, wrote bagatelle, in which
was this:
"Of all the birds and fishes rarest,
FREEDMAN Mitchill is the queerest."
DR.. Mitchill was a large portly man,
full Of conversation, and ~ remember,
on that evening very complimentary to
the ladies.
