A COMMITTEE Of the German federal
council has been sugar coating the gag

mass Is apparent through the coating.
Very properly the members think that
any measure to guide their action should
emanate from themselves and not from
the government.
YAKooB KHAN, instead of calmly
surrendering, as the British hoped he
would do, has gathered about him the
fragments of his army, and will offer
some resistance to the advancing foe.
As he failed to publish prospectus
stating how much he would resist, an
actual conflict must determine his stay
ing powers.

THE CATTLE DRIVE" FOB 1879.

[From the San Antonio Express. March ~
Several prominent stock raisers and drovers have
been in the city the past week ten days and they
almost unanimously unite estimate a 175. 900
to 100000 head the number of this years cattle
drive from Texas. The first number is considered
low and the last the greatest that be expected
Tho greater proportion of the drive will be yearlings
and two-year-olds. Prices considered high. but
holders firm. The demand for cattle Is very
good but the transactions have been rather light of
late. many who here 10 buy preferring to wait
for better rates. or. failing in that, to take their
chances after the cattle reach the North. The
gin in the cattle driving business is now considered
close that buyers hesitate before they close
tract. Profits estimated by cents. almost. to
where they were formerly calculated by dollars.
Cattle in Western Texas scarce. and with
the little profit now made there many advocates
of stopping the drive entirely for few pears in
