A Coming Cargo of Robes.

An excellent opportunity to make a prof.
liable haul of robes is about to be offered
to the wreckers who gather their annual
supply Of plumber from the Missouri river.
An officer who has just reached Chicago
from the upper river region tells story Of
what happened to a herd of buffalo that
were migrating southwark. The herd num-
bered 1850 head. They had been driven
out of the Milk river country by the Indian
hunters belonging to Sitting Bulls band.
The herd struck the Missouri near Cow Is
land and ventured upon the ice with their
customary confidence. The animals came
upon the river with solid front, and began
crossing with closed ranks. The stream at
the point of crossing was very deep. When
the front file, which was stretched out q
quarter of q mile in length, had nearly
gained the opposite shore, the ice suddenly
gave way under them. Some trappers who
were eye-witnesses of the scene said it
seemed as if a trench was opened IN the ice
the whole length of the column. Some four

top of them and sank them out of sight in
d twinkl,ng. By this time the rotten Ice
was breaking off short under the still ad-
vancing 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 10 thickiy that they
could donothing but struggle for a second,
and then disappear beneath the cakes Of
ice and swift current. Not beast in all
that mighty herd turned tail and tried 70

Singular verdiets.

Shield, in his "Sketches of the Irish Bar, -
relates how Clare jury of old, in case of
felonious gallantry, acquitted the prisoner
Of the capital charge, but found him guilty
of"agreat undacencv."
This is nothing to the verdict of a Welsh
jury : Not guilty-but we recommend
him not to do it again"
It is also related that an English jury, not
very bright, having before them prisoner
charged with burglary land being unwilling
to convict him capitally, and as no personal
violence accompanied the robbery, gave the
safe verdict: Guilty of getting out of the
window"
But the most original was that of an
Irish jury before whom prisoner pleaded
"guilty," throwing himself on the of the
court. The verdict was "Not Guilty.
The judge, in surprise, exclaimed /" Why,
he has confessed his crime % The fore.

know of noble lady
Who has never lifted her veil;
Her hand, on the aching temples,
ls tender, and cool. and pale;
Her raiment is black and crimson,
Her voice, which is seldom loud,
Is drowned by lovers whisper,
But not surging crowd;
And her speech, which is heard within us,
Soundeth as if from far,
And she calleth the things that are not,
To rebuke the things that are.
Therefore her word is the pillar
OF whatever standeth on earth,
And If aught on earth be precious,
Her sentence gives it worth.
She is very staid in her going.
And if she knew that haste
Would scatter the mamma, hidden
For waYfarers to taste.
Yet whithersoeyer we hasten,
We fnd her wasting there;
And she walks where the ways are foulest,
AS if she trod upon air.

Of her deeds there is this to tell,
She litteth up to Heaven,
She casteth down to hell.
On earth she layeth foundations,
And others build thereupon;
When they set the headstone with shoutings,
She is far away and gone.
For her road is with them that labor,
Her rest is with them that grieve;
Her name is Faith, while you serve her:
When you lose her Make Believe.

THESE HEARTS OF OURS.

These hearts of ours are sad concerns,
Made up of many troubles;
Yet. after all, one-half our woes
Are only tancy's bubbles -...s
Are only little crinks that form,
As knitting yarn untwisted-
That soon will yield and straighten out
Where patience is enlisted.
We are too quick to take offense,
Too proud to be forgiving,
And prone to think the hardest task
Is justice to the living.
For do we not the dead forgive,
When tears with smiles are blended?
And hearts at last forgive the wronged-
The silent one offended?
Each quick retort or idle work,
In angry moments spoken,
A memory leaves that gricves at last,
Some tender heart, half broken.
And when too late to make amends,
Some one has left ns, saddened.
We then may think by kindly words,
True hearts may have gladdened.
God sends the sun to cheer our lives.
And night consoles the weary;
And though we look on both, unmeyed,
Their ways are never dreary.
So should our hearts be kind, and love
Control our simplest actions,
And ITO forgive onr motive be,
In every days transactions.
For life is full of little things,
The soul with sadness filing;
Yet summer comes mid winter scenes,
If but the heart be willing.
So, stretch the hand Of Love to all;
There's pleasure in forgetting
Each little wrong our pride redels-
Our heart at last regretting'

THE sAUcY ROGUE.
FROM THE GERMAN.

There is a saucy rogue well known
To youth and gray-beard, maid and drone-
A boy with eyes that mirth bespeak,
With curly locks and dimDled cheek
He has a ely, demurish air.
But maiden fair,
Take care, take care
His dart may wound you unaware!
With bow and arrow in his hand
He wanders up and down the land;
'Tis jolly sport to aim dart
At some poor maiden's fluttering heart:
She wonders what has hurt her there.
All, maiden fair,
Take care, take care
His dart may wound you, unaware!
Her nimble hands the distaff play;
A gallant soldier-lad rides by;
He gives her such loving glance
Her heart stands still, as in trance,
And death-p sinks the maiden fair.
Quick, mother there,
Give heed. take care.
Else you may lose her, unrware.
Who stands there laughing at the poor?
That Iogue who triumphs thus once more!
Both lad and maiden he hath hit,
And laughs as though his sides would split.
And 80 he sports him everywhere;
Now here, now there;
He mocks your care;
Yon fall his victim, unaware;
Now who SO masterful aid brave
To catch and hold this saucy knaye!
Whoever binds him strong and fast,
His name and deed shall always last.
But if this dangerous task You dare,
Beware! take care
Lest i'll you farel
The rogue may catch you, unaware :sas.s D.,

SALOON ROW.

Desperate Assault on Charles KelIermann
bya Drunken Rough.
A desperate encounter took plack in Kel-
lermanns saloon, on Washington street, near
Third, about nightfall yesterday afternoon
by which murderous attempt was made to
stab Mr.. Charles Kellerman, the proprietor
of the above-named establishment.
About o'clock the saloon was entered by
rough looking and partially intoxicated in
diVldual, who passed into the yard in the
rear of the saloon. Hearing peculiar
noise in the yard, Mr.. Kellermann stepped
outside to see what was going on, when he
was made to encounter a disgusting spec
tacle.
The stranger had vomited over the ward
on several articles of furniture,
which had the effect to arouse
kellermann's Indignation, especial
ly as the man was sober enough to know
what he was doing, and just drunk enough
to be ugly. He was expostulated with,
which had the effect to call forth an exhibit
ton still more aggravating.
The blfurcated brute was informed that he
would have to make reparation for the mis-
demeanor and the manner in which he had

Observing that the mans uncomfortable
temper might lead to serious results. Mr..
kellermann returned to the saloon, followed
by the stranger, where his language became
still more threatening. He was then ordered
to leave the saloon, when he suddenly
whipped out knife and made
two or three plunges at Mr.. Kellermann.
Ihe movement was observed by the latter
just in time to break the force of the blows
one of which, however, penetrated through
the clothing to his skin. The attempt was
about to be repeated when the person at
tackled seized a billiard cue and felled his
assailant to the floor. The latter recovered
his footing, and, during the excitement,
managed to make his escape.
