The Cowboy.

The Texas cowboy ISIS rare bird. AHe
10 sort OF happy jack Of the wilderness,
a dry land sailor, who takes his fun in
large doses whenever he gets to port

dance house--his fun pure deyiltry.
He can yell louder in an unearthly kew.
swagger more and swear harder than
any man of his inches on the continent.
His dress Is evidently intended to ape
the Mexican counterfeit of the Spanish
cavalier, with sneaking regard for
home conventionalities thrown in. I'm
agine the conglomeration Having no
fixity of form 1t is wholly indescribable
and varies with the within of the indiyid-
ual. Yet he is proud of his "make up"
and pays particular attention to the
style of his hat, boots and spurs. The
hat is an elaborate affair. Broad leaved,
tasseled and tinseled, it spreads it's far
reaching shadow over the form of its
festive owner few acres beyond. His
only pet is his horse; his only toy his
pistol but he would prefer losing his
horse for day to be severed from his
six.shooter for a moment. All his
strength is in his toy. Like the savage
Indian, when deprived of his weapon (of
ofense always, never needed for defense),
his heart Is on the ground" A small
boy could thrash him then. Give him
his pistol and the "drop" on man and
he will rejoice in his ability to "bore
hole In him big enough for good-sized
dog to crawl through" as if the boring
process were something to be exceed
ingly proud OF. This Is because cow
boys are not often hung in Texas, and
the reason they have NOT been is because
they have been employed and protected
by the COW man, who steals, just like the
murderous ward politician might some
times be protected by The dishonest.

Renaissance of a Gambler.

John Watts, who died in Philadelphia
last week, was in his day one of the most
noted gamblers who made their trade
notorious on the Mississippi river. Al
though he professed to be "a man of
honor" he was by no means of tie very
best morals, and be did not object to
take advantage of his fellow-man. For
instance: With his friends and accom-
pliee he would board q boat at Louis

pick out for his victims some old card.

sonally acquainted. To these people he

high, and we can beat him; you join
with me and well do it," The victim
agreed. the party WAS made up, but
Watts always succeeded In regulating
success the wrong way for his victim,
and thus the would-be-biter was often
bitten. Once he was accused of swinda
ling in that way, the charge being made
In the heat of the play by man from
whom Watts sccomplce had just won

that's what / think, " roared the loser !;
you swindled me, and stigmatize you

and only the Waterman and the party
engaged In playing heard the charge;
but all of them drew back and held
their breath, for they were sure "Jack"
would take a life to wipe out the insult.

drawing forth his pocketbook. "No,

Watts smiled In his wicked way and held

1.-THE goose having free exit and insre.s
70 the eagles cage), always called Il bv
a short bark whenever be gave IL flesh !.
the goose would then greedily swallow
all the flesh, etc, which the eagle, tear
ing it in pieces, gave it. He saw them
in May, 1879, when the goose was a year
old, and had made q nest in the eagles
cage and laid eleven eggs, and the two
birds were sitting side by side en- the
nest, but Mr.. Pike did not allow them
to hatch out, fearing hat it might inter-
fere with their attachment to one an.
ether. The eagle was very tame and
fond of MIR. Pike, and allowed him To
go into the cage and handle 1t as he
liked, but allows no one else that privi-
lege. The eagle. also, never attempts to
leave the cage, although a hole was
made for the goose to go In and out.
The duke of Argyle remarked that the
possibility of bird SO purely graminiv-
orous as q goose being taught to eat
flesh, and acquiring the power of digest.
ing it, is extremely curious. He, how
ever, speaks of Scandinavian cattle eat,
ing fish ofal, and of Highland COW
devouring salmon. which an unwary
angler had hid among ferns on the banks
of river.

Oldest traces of men on this continent.
1t is Ia Halifax county, on the line Of
the Richmond 4 Danville railroad, and
sixty-seven feet ten inches long, fifteen
feet high, eighteen inches thick at the
top, and tive and one-half feet at the
bottom. It runs northeast and south
west, and is situated at the lower end Of
slight elevation. which ascends grads
ually. The position of the wall and it's
environments precludes the idea that it
could have been buried under the accu-
mutation Of sands conveyed by the rains
from above. The stones of which the
wall are composed are of common white
finty quartz. They are irregularly
shaped, but rs fat and smooth ms If de-
signed for the ordinary purpose of ma
sonry. The interstices are filed with
smaller stones. The cement or clay
when first exposed to the air lis of the
consistency of putty, bnt soon iLdurates
to degree that it may readily be cut in
any shape with pocket knife. 1t has
no affinity with the soil which lately en-
closed the wall, and nothing similar in
character can be found in a raGius of
miles. II is imbedded in micaneous
sandstone, requiring both grub-hoe and
pick to extract it. The stones are ad-
justed with the accuracy of square and
plumb. Now as to the history of this
unearthed wonder: Fifty or sixty
years ago, when the land was covered
with forest and being surveyed under
the direction of Mr.. Huddleson, then
the owner, the surveyor observed de-
lection in the needle of the compass as
indicated the presence of metal, it was
thought that gold bearing quartz was
near. An excavation was made, but no
gold being found in the rock, further
search was mot prosected. Professor
Campbell, of Lexington, who has not
seen the wall, but from the accounts of
it which he has read, thinks it one of the
geological dikes common In some places
and not the work of man. But on the
other hand, gentleman Of great intelli-
gence, including some geological acquire
ments, who has made thorough exami-
nation, says: "The coup d. oei, az well
as an examination of the component
parts, proves beyond pre-siyenture
wall made with human hands, and of
great antiquity. In connection with the
great discoveries in Ohio, it tends to
establish the truth of the theory that

Indians on this continent. 1t Ia study

So much has been written about the

Fashion Notes.


Harper's Bazaar.
What Is called the marquise polonsise
is much used for thin dresses.
Newest white silk stockings are
wrought like lice on the instep instead
Of having lace inserted.l
New silk bows for the throat are with
out lace, but are made up of materials of
the dress and its trimmings.n
The large Marie Antoinette bonnets
are pointed in the middle of the front,
and one of the faring sides is filed In
quite low down with flowers. This is
q fanciful shape that should be worn
only by very young, fresh faces.
Some Of the dressiest bonnets to be
wern with various costumes, are small
close shapes of Tuscan straw, or else ecrx
chip, trimmed with loops of cream
coIored satin ribbon and q wide Breton
lace barbe that forms a bow on the
crown, and elso strings; inside the brim
is shirred satin, and the fewers on top
are either chrysanthemums or roses.
New bouquet holders are rings and
brooches that support fan-shaped orna-
ment made up entirely of Rhine crys-
tails some of these have serpent of the
tones twined around them. The ring
holds the corsage bouquet, and the pin
fastens it to the Dress 1t is worn near
the waist line on the left side. Large
punches of natural flowers form such
bouquets, and it is the caprice of the
moment to show the bunch of long stems
at the end.
Simple fabrics are chosen for Brides
maids dresses to be worn at june we'd
dings. The fancy is to make these of soft
India muslin, or else the soft twilled
toulard silk known as Surrah silk, and
the lace garniture is either Breton or
Valenciennes. These dresses are msde
up more youthfully than the wedding
dress, and carry out the prevailing style,
with its bouffant paniers and shirred
basques and aprons. Imported Surrah
dresses for bridesmaids at recent we'd
ding had the short turned back fronts of
the over-dress formed Of diagonal rows of
Breton insertion and Surrah silk, while
the back was punched up voluminously
and held by large clusters OF loops of
satin ribbon. In this instance the wed.
ding was conducted in English fashion,
and the bridesmaid wore Gainsborough
hats of white silk, with Prince of Wales
red satin stirring and piping. Instead
Of bonnets, however, short wells Of tulle
arranged on the back of the head In
Spanish style are now generally worn by
To use some deep color for
garniture Is fancy for bridemaids; thus
ut Grace church wedding lately the
TOUR bridemaides wore clusters of garni-
lure. Then there are six or eight brides
maids 1t is customary to have two with
plae blue, two with green, and the others
