The Denver Times s,ys: "Mr. L. A.
Watkins returned from Box Elder last
evening, whittier he went to look after the
condition Of sheep and cattle in that quarter.
He reports great deal of loss among the
lamh-. which are perishing for the lack Of
good food. Those stockmen who have good
hay bottoms are saving from eighty TO
eigh,y-ive per cent. OF their lambs, but
those who depend upon the ranges are only
saving from forty to fifty per cent. The
range is almost barren, and there are no in
dicatioDs of improvement, and the situation
is altogether the most discouraging ever
known. East Of Hugo and throughout
western Kansas the rainfall has been more
plenty, and herds in that vicinity have not
suffered SO pitiably. In ordinary seasons,
feed upon the ranges is good at this time Of
the year, and Colorado cattle are beginning
TO come into market But at the present
outlook il will be weeks before shipments
from Kansas will cease. This state of
affairs is truly lamentable, as it will email
great loss upon all stockmen and sheep men
especially"

A PIucky Virginia Lady.
Petersburg va Index-Anpeal.


Mai Gen. &. B. Warren, formerly
commanding the Sixth Corps of the
Army of the Potomac. accompanied by
Capt. Gotten also of the United States
Army, recently visited the battlefield
of Five Forks, in Dinwiddie County, the
scene, of one of the last battles around
Petersburg.
The object of their visit was to make
a survey and plot of the field, and the
positions OF. the cOntendingv armies, 10
be used in the Court Of Inquiry before
wlichsGen. Warren is having an inyes-
tigatiOn as to his spF0nptness in moving
to the fight. In order TO get the exact
data and complete situation of affairs,
it became necessary for Capt. Gotten TO
run a line of survey through the prem
ises of a gentleman living in the vicinity
which line was just outside of the
residence-betWeen it and the orchard.
The owner of the property happened to
be away from home at the time, and his
wife was the custodian of the manor.
She discovered that something unusual
was going on, as to the nature of which
she had not been informed, and about
which her permission, it seems, had not
been asked. Imagining that q tfespas5
was being committed, she braYely went
out to the spot, armed with s. double
barreled Shotgun, andordered the engi-
ueeT and his assistants away. Capt.
Gotten, who, by the way, Is genial and
courteous gentleman, undertook to ex-
plain his presence there, and the object
he wished to accomplish but the lady
declined to accept his exclamation. de-
claring In Il positive and determined
manner that she did intend to have
the farm parceled out into go acre"
lots. The Captain hesitated, hoping to
be able to make his presence and his
motives understood, but he was again
ordered to leaVe-and that Immediately
with an intimation from the lady that
though she was not in the last war, she
would be in this, if he did not move
forthwith. The Captain quickly per-
ceived that it would be wise in him to
go, and retired with the best grace posi-
BILE under the circumstances Suisse
quently, however, the object of the visit
of the0ffleers was explained TO the lady
by some of the neighbors, and the sur
vey was allowed to proceed. The mis-
apprehension under which the lady
labored was very natural one and she
manifested remarkable courage and de-
cision under the circumstances. Our.
opinion is more than ever confirmed that
the Southern ladies are not only the
fairest and gentlest, but the braVest in
the world.

'iAre raw oysters unhealthy ?" asks

saw several the other day that had the
appearance of being very unhealthy
they had evidently been picked too
long. -. Waterloo Observer. a.
1t IL great mistake to pick oysters
too nlong, but 1T is an error which many
oyster-raisers fall into. They should
never be allowed to grow more than
four feet long, because after they reach
that length they are apt to get sun
burned, when they are virtually good
for nothing. Slips, however, may be
cut from them for setting cut. Oysters
can not be too carefully raised. The
ground should be thoroughly prepared,
and, If possible, start should be given
them in the dollhouse. At any rate it
is wen to eeyer them with glasssin the
early spring days, when cold winds and
rains are ant to fatard groEths They
should be carefully attended to, killed
up frequently, and kept free from
weeds. But they should never be
picked too long. One foot is long
enough for any oyster to be picked.

How Ressemer learned

1t will be of interest to the reader to
learn that, according to Bessemer's
statement, his knowledge of iron metal
lurgy was at that time very limited, so
that hehad to get up the whole of the
subject He is now, however of opinion
that his ignorance proved of great adj
vantage to him, as ne had very little to
Unlearn and could thus sapproach the
subject free from the bias indispensable
from those who have followed q beaten
track and vainly endeavored to get
out of the rut. These words of Bes-
semer require, however, TO be carefully
considered. He does not imply that
state of ignorance would enable him to-
invent, as many scheIlersy imagine, who
put forth crudeideas, which afe crushed
by practical men. He set to work to
learn the whole business thoroughly,
first from books and then in the foun-
dries SCH vii lie seen that here is a
man well Onaiha ID world, whe set him
selfto hard learning while many of US
think that we can do very well without
learning at all or without learning any
more. To the public who thus Get de
tails at first hand, it is also of Interest
to know that having built a small ex-
peTimentai iron works in St. Pancras,
and begun his preliminaries, months
rolled on, and he spared neither labor
nor money, but made failure after fail
ure. To thelwisenlan, however, failure
is way of learning, and failures are
carefully recorded: l, because they
show us the. way how to save our time
by not trying the failure over again 2,
because they show as, through narrow
ing the field, in what way we must trod
and3,. because they in themselves sug-
gest SOME further experiment! Bes-
semer' indeed says that during his long
timezOf failure he was accommodating
many important facts which could not
but ultimately be of advantage to him.

The iron interests of the country
seems to be growing Instead of showing
any decrease. "The railway interests, .
says. the Chicago Nelc8, " is the heaviest
consumer of iron IN thei country. Il
now looks as if there would be a larger
demand for iron in 1880 than for many
previous. years3 4 In 1879 the total mile
age of road built was 1000 But al
ready this year 1000 to 5000 are pros
jected for immediate Constitution.
Some authorities put the figures as
high as 1000 miles. For tracks alone,
old and new, it is figured that 100000
tons of steel and lion rails win be re-
quired. The full capacity of our mills
is estimated at 1900, 600 tons, leaving
100, 600 to come from abroad. But in
addition large quantities of iron will be
required for cars, p engines bridges,
spikes, }bolSs, fish plates I and other
equipments. From all these facts it is
evident that the expectations of larger
demands for iron this than for almost
any previous year are by no means too

MiIton,s Youth.

Milton lived in time when learning
was held of more account than original
gifts, and it was at twelve years of age
that he entered upon the system of
sself-deYelopment which was to prepare
him for the great work he believed him
self destined to achieve. When a boy
of twelve he seized learning, he tells
us, with such eagerness that hescarcely
ever went to bed before midnight;
and there is no sweeter picture than
that called to the mind By Aubrey of
the little enthusiast porting over his
books at midnight while the family are
asleep and the maid servant is sitting
up for him. As natural consequence,
when he was, at fifteen, sent to ST.
PauPs School, he had not-jor accom-
Plishments, and, perhaps, for scholar
ship-an equal Of his own age in Eng
land. And when, two years later, he
went to Cambridge, it is no wonder if
the young men were startled by the adj
vent of this peculiar kind of STUDENT
with his fair hair, brilliant complexion,
!. and large and lustfoUs eyes, of thathue
which at one moment is called gray, at
another blue. Though his features
were, perhaps, even then serious, they
lcoufaes0us look his fittle figure, l erect ast
and Of about the middle height, seemed
to indicate exactly the kind Of youth
needed at Christ's in the frequent town
and gown crows" It very soon became
evident, however, that his features be-
lied. him. He was "a good ,swordsman
undoubtedly, but he had no leisure to
exhibit his skill; he was given to late,
hours, but il. was to- rob from his sleep
time for studying all sorts Of Subjects
in all sorts of tongues. I'm short, his
habits and his morals were eccentric;
the first being most .abstemious, the sec
