Branding Cattle.

The coming benefactor Of the west
ern cattle interest will be the man
who invents some way Of distinguish
ing the ownership Of cattle without
resorting to the inhuman practice Of
branding. Branding isobjectionable
on account OF its extreme cruelty, its
Disagreement Of the animals, aud its
detraction from the actual market
value Of the hides. The split and
mutilated ears and disfgured sides OF
a large proportion Of the cattle OF
the plains is q reproach to the trade.
The brands frequently cover amen
tire side OF the animal, and are made
with an utter disregard Of anything
except to make it distinctive in its
LONELINESS. It is fortunate, however,
that brands are usually confined to
q single side, an there is then one
way a steer may he looked at with
some satisfaction. It will be remem.
bered that the tanners convention,
which met in this city last winter, en-
tered protest against this practice.
II seems that it is necessary to mark
those rowing bands Of cattle in some
way, but the extreme to which brand
ing is carried is both brutal and I'M
called for.-[Pittsburgh Stoclunan,

A Touching Love Story.

When tho late DR.. Robert Cham.
bers was beginning to make way as q
bookseller Of nineteen, widow with
several daughters lodged over his
shop in Leith Walk, Edinburgh; the
girls sang gand played excellently, and
Robert, listening, thought them "a
choir of angels" In such a case, as
II brother drily remarks, there is al-
ways one who is most angelic I; and
Liiias, the youngestand fairest OF the
daughters, became Roberts first love
He used at night listening while she
sang above to lie awake and weave
verses on her voice and bright eyes
His affection was returned, but the
mother thought the young suitor In
eligible and broke off the acquaint-
ance. In time Lilias married--in ev-
cry respect unfortunately. Hearing
of her destitute condition. Robert
Chambers literally assisted her. They
met once more, when both were on
the verge of the grave. She was
widow; he doubly n widower. He
was rich and celebrated, she entirely
dependent on his bounty. The inter
view was painful, and they parted
with tears. In his viii Robert Cham
bers made ample provisions for his
first love, but she only survived him
a few months. There was, however,
much good work to be done, and
there were many fortunate years to
be enjoyed before this sequel to their
story.

FALLEN

Roscoe Conkling hAs fallen NOT
from Office; for he voluntarily relin-
quished office some time ago. But
until yesterday he had before him at
least q possibility Of reelection. Now
he has fallen from position, from
rank, from the leadership OF his par
ty. To-day he is mere private cit
izen, with no encouraging prospects,
for the future. He may stretch forth
his hands in vain, and for many years
fail to clutch power again. BY .
miracle, as it were, by an insane act
of an assassin, il is true that Mr..
Conkling stood, q few days ago, very
near TO the power behind the throne
which is said to be greater than the
throne itself lightning is as likely to
strike in any particular place as such
q thing is likely to happen again.
Mr.. Conkling has reached the full me
ridian of life, and his recent mistakes
and foibles cannot be overlooked in
that generous spirit which pardons
much to the indiscretion Of youth.
He stands facing dark, If not o ray
less, future. No rainbow Of promise
spans his sky nor, in the order OF
nature, and in the ordinary course OF
human affairs, can he reasonably ex-
poet to behold any new morn on his
midday risen.
With those who rejoice over the
fall of Roscoe Conkling forpersonal
reasons, or in any spirit Of exultation,
or petty triumph, we have no feeling
in common. Far from it.. We re-
member him MS true patriot during
the war. We recall with pride the
bright performances and more bril-
liant promise of his earlier and bet
ter days. We held too much in com
mon with him then, and battled by
his side too long, to contemplate his
overthrow even now without some de-
gree of painful emotion. But while,
personally, we might pause to drop o
tear into his political grave, for the
sake of the country we rejoice over
his downfall.
/. Because in him falls the foremost
enemy of the freedom Of the press in
America.
2. Because in him falls one Of the
inventors and the chief protector OF
the demonstrations electoral COM
mission, which defrauded the people
of the United States out Of their own
choice for president for four years,
inaugurating the unelected Hayes in
place of the elected Tilden.
3. Finally, and above all else, be-
cause in Roscoe Conkling falls the
leader of the third term party, who
would overthrow the constitution OF
the United States and erect an empire
on its ruins.
Down, down forever with all such
men!
The firmness and devotion evinced
toward Mr.. Conkling by his circle OF
partisan friends could only have been
inspired by superior qualities in him.
Bravely for weeks did they hold out
against the glitter of gold and the
seductions of place. He possessed
parts which fitted him for higher
destiny. And in the class Of public
men into which, historically, Mr..
Conkling has chosen to place himself,
he will rank second only to Aaron
Burr. Y. Sun.

Gui,cau's Story Of His Crime.

The statement Of the attempted as
sassination Of President Garfield, III
given to the press by District Attor
ney Corkhill, andreceived by that OF
fetal from the criminal, shows the
deed to have been one OF the most
diabolical, cool and carefully calcu
lated in tho annals Of crime.
Guiteau, according to his own sto
~, arrived in Washington on the 6tll
Of March. On the 18th day OF May
he made up his mind to kill the pres
ident, as he pretends to believe fol
the good of the Republican party
The time up to the 9Th Of June seems
to have been spent in arranging do
tails of his crime. His pistol was
purchased on the 9th Of June, and he
Immediately began target practice
The first date set for the shooting
was Sunday, June 18th. He followed
the president to church, but did not
make the attempt then for the rea
son that he was afraid of hitting
some ono else. He ascertained the
exact location Of the presidents pew,
saw it was by window, and resolved
to do the thing the next Sunday
shooting through the window. Sat,
urday June IL, the president and
Mrs. Garfield went to Long Branch.
Guiteau had kept himself informed
informed as to the presidents move
ments, and was waiting at the depot
with his pistol in his pocket freshly
oiled and primed. When the in
tended victim entered the ladies
waiting room with Mrs. Garfield on
his arm, the tender-hearted villain
could not bear to shoot the husband
in the wife's presence, so deferred
the matter. Wednesday following he
watched the White House and saw
the president go out for a drive. he
followed the carriage, but it did moi
stop and he had no opportunity tt
shoot. During all this time Guiteau
had been industriously practising with
his pistol, and perfecting himself il
Workmanship On Friday, July l.
the day before the crime, he watched
for the president, saw him leave the
White House alone, and dogged his
steps until he entered the residence
of MIR. Blaine. IIe waited until his
intended victim came out in company
with the secretary, and followed the
two to the wuite house gates. The
next day, Saturday, he went to the
white house and waited some time j,
the park for the president to come
out. While waiting he concluded
the depot would be the best place, SC
he went there. He had his boot1
blacked, sought secluded spot ans
carefully examined his weapon, as
su1ing himself it would work per
fectly; hired hack to take him tc
Jail, and then sat calmly down in tbt
ladies waiting room until the presi
dent entered, when the shots wert
fired.
Ii all this careful preparation ant
perfect arrangement of details du
ring a period of nearly two months
was the work of crazy man, then
there are few sane men in the world
