From q young man who came up on
the Jordan from a trip to Florida yes.
terday, we learned Of most miraculous
escape from drowning Of nine persons
A gentleman named DR.. Gushing, Of
Brazil, accompanied by his family, had
been on a visit to his grandmother, Mrs.
Reyes, of lola, Fla, and they were on
their return home. 1t was necessary
that they should cross the Dead Lakes
in a small boat in order to reach the
steamer, and when near the center the
boat struck a stump and sank. The
entire party, consisting of the doctor.
his wife, his wife's sister, five children,
and a nurse, were all thrown into the
water. Upon rising to the top, the
top, the doctor took two Of the children
on his back, and his wife who was a
good swimmer, did the same. They
carried them to the nearest stump and
left them, and returning for the
others did them in the same
manner, thereby placing the
entire party in places Of safety. There
they remained until they could secure
assistance from the shore, which soon
came, and they we're all safely landed.

To the end Of his long and busy life,
Daniel Webster retained the love Of the
country and Of farming which he &C
quired in his childhood. 1t was always
with joy that he returned from the
cenes Of his public labors and triumphs
to his cosy home Mt Marshfield and his
well-tilled fields at Franklin. The quiet
pursuits Of tho farm; the planning Of
his crops; the rearing of his cattle,
his sheep. his pigs and hens; the i'm
provements in c%ultivating lands; tho
care of his horses-all interested the
great statesman fully as keenly as grav-
er questions of state, and %oratorical
victories at the Capitol.
One day he asked his son Fletcher
and { friend who was visiting him to
go out with him to the barn and see his
cattle. He fed them with delight, and
turning to his companions with a smile.
said:
Il like this. l had rather be here
than in the Senate. 1t is better COM
pany."
When at Washington, engaged in alb
sorbing duties as Senator or Secretary of
State, he seldom let a day pass without
writing to his farm-overseers at Marsh
field and Franklin, telling them Just
what to plant and what to pillow, what
horses to buy and what cattle to sell.
Webster discovered the value Of kelp,
or seaweed, as a rich manure for land,
and brought it into ge, eral use in his
neighborhood. He WIS probably as
skiilful a farmer as live I in New Eng.
land. and showed the slme wisdom In
this as in public affairs.

The great cattle and sheep raising re-
gions Of this country begin one hundred
and fifty miles YES Of Omaha, the start
ing-point Of the Union Pacific Railroad,
one thousand four hundred miles west
of the Atlantic. They extend west
through Nebraska and Wyoming owe
the fertile Laramie plains to the Rocky
Mountains, and a thousand miles on to-
wards the Pacific. through Utah, Ore
gon, and Washington Territories, where
there is ample room for more than five
times the livestock now raised. Start
ing from the warm shores of the Gulf OF
Mexico, the great American grazing
grounds run one thousand five hundred
miles north. over the International
boundary line into Canada. They in
clude large portions of Texas, which
muster five and q half million-of cattle;
Colorado. with thirty million acres
adapted for the growth of grain, cattle
or sheep; Wyoming, estimated to con-
tain fifty-five thousand square miles OF
grazing; Montana. larger than the
British Islands, and half Of ii under
stood to consist Of fertile valleys and
g-rass-coyered plains. Over such a wide
area the management is somewhat di-
versifed; the herds vary from less than
one thousand to than fifty thou
sand head.
The raising of cattle and sheep in this
immense territory is yet in its infancy.
The choicest ranges along the lines OF
railroad have been mostly taken up
within a few years. and with the pres
ent activity in extending new lines OF
road large tracts of these superior
grazing lands will be available.

see but one Of his fashionable custom
ers seated at a table covered with all
the delicacies Of the season. including
. large bottle of green seal and two
canvas-back ducksl Rushing in. the

afford to pay for all of deli
cacies." The young man wiped his
moustache, and looking around to see
that he was not overheard, responded

dence in me. l don't expect to pay for
this banquet any more than l expected

R~ailroadiing Mexico.


1t Is one Of the future projects gwen
out by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad Company. that as Don as
FL Paso, they will begin a grand Mexi-
can extension of it fromthat point to-
ward the City Of Mexico, with the hope
Of finishing 1t in about three years and
q half from this date. Another extern
sion Is to connect the same great trunk
line with the Gulf Of California, from
Albuquerque to Guaymas. The dis
lance from FL Paso to the City of Mexi-
co is about 1000 miles; from Albuquer-
que to Guaymas 600 miles. Recent
dispatches say that Jay Gould is the
author of a scheme to connect his Union
Pacific, Kansas Pacific and Wabash sys-
tenn with the City Of Mexico by way of
the Indian Territory. Denison, Texas
and Camargo on the Mexican side of
the Rio Grande. The distance from
Camargo-by way of Monterey-to Mex
leo IL about 600 miles. This line and
the one projected from Ell Paso to Mex
leo will be parallel, and about rs far
apart rs the Central Pacific at Fort Yu-
ma. The lines. therefore. will only in
terfere with each other in the through
trade, so far as Mexico is concerned.
and that will be but o small fraction by
comparison with the way trade. The
two companies together propose to build
within the territory Of Mexico about
two thousand miles of railway. II Cap
tain Eads can enlist the capital needed
for the construction Of his Tehuantepec
ship railway. 1t Is morally certain that
some American company will build a
line from the City OF Mexico through
Oaxaca and what was known in the
days of Cortez as ''the Great Valley OF
the Marquis" to connect with the Te-
huantepec road. All these will consti-
tuts . very good beginning for the ulti-
mate regeneration Of the sister Repub-
lie by the railway method. which ex-
p~erience has demonstrated to be a far

A WAsHINoroN dispatch says: Bra

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: Brady
is an important part of Mahone's coali-
ton, and 1t is possible that he may
resent his displacement and endeavor
to move an anti-administration republic

successor. Altogether the republican
situation here is not cheering for the
party. The deadlock is more and more
seen to be a deadlock between the two
warning republican factions, in which
the democrats now play the secondary

THE New York Herald Of Thursday
has an editorial headed, "A Beached
Administration " in which it says: we
are sincerely anxious to see Garfeld's
administration fairly under way, to use
a seafaring phrase. 1t may be said to have
gone aground before crossing the bar for
only a definite policy that we have yet
evinced from Gar6eld's friends is that
he has made up his mind to be a candi-
date for second term. An administration
that begins on the level on which Gar
field now finds himself, does not give
the country that assurance for a sue
cessful term of office, which his genius
and his character led us to expect. As
1t now stands. things could not be more
unfortunate for himself than the whole
political situation: congress Is at
dead lock; the senate is overrun with
hot passionate debates, while important
departments of the government are at
a standstin because of the failure Of the
senate to confirm nominations; the
storm, of sectional luminosity rises high
er than we have seer it since anti-bel-
lum debates in '61: the president Ii
entangled in a local political snarl; and
the country. instead of being invited to
contemplate some grand statesman-like
policy for the development of its resour-
ces, is asked to take part in a quarrel
as to who shall have control OF the Gus
tom house. The only way out of this
tangle is for the president to assert
himself and to take command Of his ad-
mi~nlstration, and put aside the crowds
of time servers and servants who always
fit about the White House and
fawn and natter in hopes Of prefer

A CAsE has been submitted In
Louisville, KY, as to the possession Of
5000 that the horse, Irish King, won
at the Louisville fall races of 1879.
Colster, who was Harper's trainer,
alleges in his petition that Harper
agreed to give him Irish King provided
he would 8 manage Ten Brock as to
beat Molly Mccarthy in the great race
between these celebrated horses on July
4th, 1878; that Ten Brock did beat
Molly Mccarthy, and that Harper
thereafter gave and transferred to him
Irish King, according to agreement.
Harper claimed that he had Irish King
already entered for the fall races of 10,
and he did not mean to give Colster
possession until after all his engage
ments were kept.

character, that when laid before the
president, he directed James TO demand
of Brady his resignation, to take effect
Immediately. This communication was
on Wednesday morning promptly CON
veyed TO Brady by the postmaster gen.
eral, and was as promptly followed by
a letter Of resignation. 1t was deemed
advisable to adopt this course because
it wa desired, in view of the develop
ments made by the pending investiga-
tiop, to have Brady vacate the Office;
and as the tenure Of Office act prevents
removals during the session of the
senate, this result could only be secured
by his resignation. The resignation of
several other officers who are known to
have had questionable relations with
the Star route ring, will also be de-
manded, and several clerks In the con
terct Office are marked for dismissal.

A TELEGRAM from Little Rock, Ark

"A from Little ROCK, Ark.
says: Information has been received
from lizard county of finding the dead
body Of Rev. Robert Mattlock, who was
tried In Lawrence county, last week,
for the murder Of Thomas Miller, last
August. Mattlock was acquitted and
left town secretly, as threats were made
to lynch him. Friends Of the murdered
man have been in pursuit of Mattlock
since his ,acquittal, determined to
avenge Miller's death, and it appears
that they have succeeded. Mattlock
created considerable excitement in cen
trail Arkansas a year ago, being then
engaged with others in conducting a
new religious reformation. 1t is al
legged that several murders have re-
suited from these mems teachings, one
Of their articles of faith being that
the shedding Of human blood was ne
cessary to appease an offended God.
These murders were supplemented by
a series Of ~lynching, which e~ffectually
checked further progress of the religious
frenzy.
