Turned White from Terror.

from Inc COlOraQO springs Gazette.
Lone Star ranch is becoming famous as pro-
ductlve of some very remarkable Sheep II
was on the Lone Star ranch that the wonderful
three-ply sheep were born. We refor of course,
to the sheep with three eyes, three ears and
three tails, which was fully described in the
Gazette some weeks ago.. We have received
..dvices from our special correspondent, Mr.
W. w. Cook, whom we have engag ed as a
specialist to keep scientific eye on the pecul-
lar happenings of the ranch. In course of bis
letter on the recent phenomenon, Mr.. Cook
Gays: "As most of your readers probably
now black wool brings from five to ton cents
a pound less than the correspond
ing grade of white wool In order to
secure the separation of the inferior pro-
duct, as our shearing operations progressed,
we placed the black sheep in pen by them
selves. There were thus on last Tuesday night
sixty three black sheep and some lambs alone
in one of the corrals. During the night
coyote entered and killed an eve and two lambs
and we were greatly surprised to find in the
morning that the, wool on the remaining sixty
two sheep had turned perfectly white from ter
ror. Happily this increase in the value of
the wool more than balanced the loss
bleaching effects of fear on the hu-
man hair is well known, but never heard
of any previous instance of its action on ami
imals. I merely state the facts as they oc-
CURED and leave to others a practical applica-
ton Of them, which will I doubt not, add
thousands of dollars to the value of the an
nual wool product Of this country" The facts
given so succinctly by our correspondent are
deserving Of especial notice, and will, no
doubt, attract much attention upon the part Of
scientists. 4.s5&

A Romantic Story.
l to New Orleans Picayune,

Contributed to New Orleans Picayune
see great deal written about this gentle
man, lately deceased, about whom no one
seems to know much, but all agree that he
was born in the north of Ireland, and claimed
all his life to be British subject have
for it. In my boyhoodI spent two years in
Greenbrer and other counties adjacent in the
mountains of Virginia Andrew Bierne, an
Irishman, was the capitalist of that region
The story current there was that one afternoon,
as he was riding and had stopped to water his
horse at a little r1vulet or brook, he found an
infant boy carefully wrapped up asleep on q
bed OF rushes. Quite startled at the sight, af-
ter riding around and hallooing half an hour
for the owners of the child, night approaching
took the child and carried it to his house,
where he placed it under the care of his favor
ite attendants, John and his wife. The parents
never turned up, and in due time the boy was
named John Burnside, q name suggested by
the locality where he was foundry the side
of burn or brook, q word common in Scot
land and in the north Ct Ireland I often saw
this young man in the several mercantile e.
ta6iishmehts OF Andrew Bierne, in West Vir-
GINA, where he seemed to be sort of super
alternately, and never heard there any other
account OF him. From his business exactitude
and industry, he was great favorite with Mr..
Bierne, but with few others. He was taciturn,
reserved, and mOrOse, even when young
man. But his business habits and talents
recommended him. and Mr. Bierne established
him in New Orleans, with his brother or son,
istics s' remained as they We're in in early
life. He had no social feeling, no
sympathy, no public spirit, but was
pre- -eminently successful in trade do not
vouch for this account of his origin, but g
friend tells me that he met with Andrew Bierne
in congress in 1855, and he did not contra
dict the story, but only laughed and winked
and shrugged his shoulders when it was re-
peated. If my story be correct, it is amusing
to remember how pleasantly Mr.. Burnside
jockeyed Gen. Butler and got back his great
crop Of sugar on the plea of being British
subject One thing is certain, the deceased
never conversed or would permit any one to
converse with him about his origin or birth
place. One of his fellow-clerks with Mr..
Bierne. Andrew Mennis, (brother Of the late
Hon. Callohill Mennls Of Bedford county,
Va, told me that he called on Mr. Burnside
when in the zenith of his mercantile glory in
New Orleans was received kindly, but happen
ing to recur to the story of his birth, and con-
trasting it with his great success, Mr. Burn
I side few into rage, jumped up from the table,
and never spoke to him afterward.

The Abbott Kiss Hollow Mockery.

Interview with Emma Abbott in New York Sun.
Il have no time to correct every little ru-
NOR or paragraph that is written about me.
Now, there's the Emma Abbott kiss" for
instance. What a silly thing thatis! There
is really no kiss, only make believe. It oc-
ours in Romeo and Juliet. You see we
are SO far from the audience and 80 high
up on the balcony that people cannot see
clearly. They think kiss the tenor, but
do not I gained the idea of that tableau
from painting Of Antony and Cleopatra
that I saw in Italy when I was studying
there"
Don't you ever really kiss the tenor in
any of your plays?" st.
i. No, only pretend to; but if it was nee
essary to the correct deliniation of character
should not hesitate to kiss the stage car
penter. I try to forget myself in the char
acter I am acting"
