Intelligence in q Bullock.

An Australian paper relates the follow
ing striking instance of brute intel.
ligence, which occurred not long ago
near Nairue township, in south Aus.
tralia: "a very large bullock injured
his eye when unyoked from the dray, by
chain, the hook of which lacerated the
eye. After a few days had passed the
eye became seriously inhamed, and it
was thought advisable to get him into
the stock yard and cast him for the pur-
pose of dressing the wound. This was
done by ropes being attached to his legs,
but it was found of no avail, from the
strength of the animal, for as soon as
they attempted to throw him he lifted
his leg and pulled the men to the ground.
As last resource they put his head in
the bail, continuance frequently used
in that country for securing animals, by
getting their necks between two upri ght
bars of wood, one of which is movable at
pleasure. Having thus succeeded in
securing him, they dressed his eye with
bluestone. The men unbai!ed the bull.
lock and Immediately rushed out of the
stock yard, thinking the animal would
be Infatuated with pain, and expected to
be attacked, instead of which the poor
sufferer walked of to the shade of large
gum tree, and, on the following morn
ing, much to the establishment Of its
owner and all who witnessed it, the
bullock walked up the stock yard of its
own accord, and placed his head in the
bail to have his eye dressed; and this he
repeated every morning till the eye was
quite restored.

Travelling with a Madman.

A correspondent describes scene he
witnessed on Friday morning last in one
of the carriages of the mail train from
Calais to Paris: cat Calais, a mad-
man, accompanied by an attendant, was
thrust into compartment of which
was, unfortunately, an occupant. He
behaved somewhat boisterously before
reaching Boulogne, but it was only after
leaving that place that he proved to be
maniac, as he suddenly seized the gen.
tleman sitting next to him by the throat,
and kicked violently at the face of the
man opposite. The attendant was too
scared to exert any influence, and it was
only after severe struggle that our
combined efforts overpowered the maniac,
"a heavily-built, powerful man,-but
not until he had greatly disfgured two
of the passengers. He was ultimately
taken out at Abbeville, but We had to
guard him for more than half an hour,
having securely fastened him with cords
and bag-straps. Iwish to bring to notice
the fact that the cord, which one fondly
imagines will bring instantaneous aid in
case of danger, was used in vain, and one
of the passengers had finally to grope his
way to the guards van for assistance.
Had we not been fortunate enough to
have at least one powerful passenger,
am convinced the maniac would have
strangled the first object of attack before
assistance could have arrived" -London
Times.

A Successfl1l Career

Gen. Kolpakovski, the military gov
ernor OF the vast territory lying be-
tween the Syr-Daria and the Chinese
border, and conqueror of the province
which Russia is now restoring to China,
is a good specimen of class only too
rare in Russia-the self made officer. A
private soldier 16 years ago, he is now
commander.in.chief of an army, and
undisputed ruler of territory as large
as the states Of New York and Pennsyl-
vania combined. Over six feet in
height, with an erect and muscular fig
ure, bold, sun-burned face and close
cropped black hair, he looks "every
inch a soldier" while his splendid
Workmanship and seemingly mex
haustible endurance have won him
the name of "The Iron Chief"
among the native tribes, whose best rid
ers he has more than once tired down.
His men are fond of relating how, when
crossing the hills with Cossack detach-
ment he sent back a trooper whose horse
had fallen lame, but when q second,
wishing to avoid the toilsome march,
came to him with the same story, Kol-
pakovski babe him dismount and lead
the animal, no light penance, over miles
of stony mountain under vertical sun.
Gen. Kolpskovski's official residence is
at Vernoe, a fortress lying among the
border mountains; but he is frequently
to be found at Tashkend, where, in con-
sequence of the repeated attempts made
upon his life by native desperadoes, his
house is always strongly guarded by
C0ssack rifemen. He attained his pres
ent rank in 1871, the conquest OF Kuldja
being his last exploit as colonel.

A Civ of Caves.

Away out on the Texas frontier, and
in the eastern margin Of that vast desert
expanse, the Llano Estacado, sixty miles
north of the little town of Graham, says
a letter to a St. Louis paper, there set
tied about a year ago a colony from
Oregon consisting of nine families. The
locality was distant from market, and
lumber scarcely to be had. The settlers,
therefore, as the cold northers of winter
were approaching, determined to build
habitations underground. They select
ed hill, in whose sides they excavated
rooms, halls, kitchens and sleeping apart
ments, not unlike the ancient jewellers
in the rocks of Judea. A chimney
was formed by running a stovepipe up
through the hill to the surface. The
jewellers are perfectly dry and warm in
the coolest and most freezing norther.
This little city of caves has been named
Oregon City, and will be the capital Of
BAYLOR county.

cattle have of standing and dropping
their manure in it, for hours together.
A clean tub or tank should be used for
watering the cattle, and should be sup
piled with clean, sweet water, which if
pumped from a we'll, should be exposed
to the air in summon a considerable
time before use. As a principle of
economy, 1 strongly advocate the practice
of keeping mich COWS in the yards or
stables at nights all through the year.
They spoil much grass, especially in full,
strong pasture, during the night, and
are not benefited by being in the dewy
grass too early in the morning. The
manure also would be kept in the yard,
where it would be valuable, instead of
being dropped alongsom fence where it
would be lost, and where the cattle
would naturally lie down. During the
winter, when tied up in stalls, great
advantage is derived by thoroughly
cleaning the cattle occasionally with a
brush, as they cannot then turn around
and lick themselves, or rub as they

CHANGE.
BY GEORGE EDGAR MONTGOMERY.


Men are no longer what they were
In the old Grecian days. isyat T IN yGu'h
Nor age beyond its trodden ways;
When love was never wont to err
From Tranquil woods and streams, to find
In the vague voices of the wind
Strange murmurs OF unearthly lays.
Men are no longer what they were
Whom the young Christ YVES newly born,
Or when amid golden morn
Rome tottered on her ancient throne;
When hearts went out to minister
Unto the idoatrous fsr and wide
Sweet hope and mercy sanctifcd,
And all that love had made its own.
Men are no longer what they were
W. Mhen souls began to doubt and hope
10 tade--like mist upon slope
wv, dissolved in dawning floods of light;
When faith seemed half thing of air
bullt on the moving sands of dream,
creed OF empty sound, supreme
In dull, cold splendor Of the night.
Then priest and poet bowed before
The awful, august face Of her
whose deeply mystic voice would stir
~ The chilled and ghostly voids Of death:
Nature, whose speech is like the roar
" mad, melOdiOuS waves or low
As faint June breez,s when they blow
Oalowly flowers with Ian ,uid breath.
Their lofty souls were recked with doubt,
And in sad, yearning tones they cried
To her, the loved, the deited,
For peace which is the grace Of grief:
With patient ardor and devout
They sought tho light of truth divine,
Yet found that God had left no sign
For them whose faith was unbelief
Men are no longer what they we're
Lo! they have turoed away their gaze
From mournful nights and darkened DAYS
And life that faltered in its path:
With brave and willing hearts they bear
Their heavy burdens, and they sing
OlOve's inspired awakening,
And hope that each man truly hath,
The world is changing. and the years
Arc sweeping to tn. If radiant goal,
Like torrents bree king from control
And rushing onward to the sea:
And he who listens vaguely hears
sound of many waters lulied
To calm, and winds to slufnber Guliad,
Or reused to life melodiously.
The thun Ter of false gods, the gloom
Or bind and erling faith, and death
Whose kiss makes poison OF our breath,
And all dark shade vs. OF our lives:
These hall not shake us. nor entomb
Tho joy within our souls, for tiue
Has filled lis with trust sublime
And given us glory for our gives.

SPEAKING of making apple trees bear
fruit on alternate years or each wear.
the Rurot Nea0 Yorker relates this:
Many years ago friend of mine had
dozen apple trees that were bearing
heavy crops of apples every other year.
He wished fruit every year, so he took q
long pole-the trees were large-and
gave them heavy beating on one side,
or half OF the tree, just as the fruit was
about the size of a hickory nut, knocking
off all fruit on south side of the trees.
The result was, as I saw for several
years, that these trees bore heavy crops
on one side one year, and the next year
a heavy crop on the other ride, 80 that
for many years he had plenty of apples
for home use every year. His trees
stood in a rich soil that was annually
cultivated-no grass to cover the sod.
The COW and the horse can pasture
we'll together, says w. H. Hankin, Jr.,
but no other animal should be allowed
to run in the same field. Pigs and
poultry spoil and faint the feed good
deal. All rank weeds must be carefully
eradicated, and garden refuse, such as
weeds, kept out of the cows reach,
especially shrubs and hedge cuttings,
etc: These things are often poisonous,
and occasion the COW to abort. The
same remark will alppy to
dead and putrid matter. Let the
pasture be free from ponds and other
dirty drinking places, where the water
is foul and rendered unwholesome by
decaying matter or the drainage from
dung heaps, and from the habit which

1t has been noticed In these columns that
there was a movement on foot in this city TO
establish sugar factory. The outlines of
the new enterprise, however, have not yet
been fully presented TO the people.
AT meeting at the Board OF Trade rooms
last night, the matter was thoroughly dis

East, gave his plans 90 the meeting and a
general discussion upon the subject followed
