Shepherd Dogs.

1t is said that a single shepherd
and his dog will accomplish more in
gathering a head of. sheep from a
Highland farm than twenty shep-
herds could do without dogs; and it is
fact that without this docile animal
the pastoral life would be a mere
blank. Without the shepherds dog
the whole of the mountainous land in
Scotland would not be worth six
pence, 1t would require more hands
to manage stock of sheep, gather
then from the hills, force them into
houses and drive to market than the
profits of the whole stock would be
capable of maintaining. Well may
the shepherd feel an interest in his
dog; he it is indeed that earns the fam
ily's bread, Of which he himself is
content with the smallest morsel; al
ways grateful and always ready to
exert his utmost abilities in his mas
ter's interest. Neither hunger, IA
tigue, or the worst treatment will drive
him from his side. He will follow
him through fire and water, as they
saying is, through every hardship
without murmuring or repining unlti
he literally falls dead at his feet. If
one of them is obliged to change mas
tiers, it is sometimes long before he
will acknowledge the new one, or con-
descend to work for him with the
same willingness he did for his former
lord; but if he once acknowledge him,
he continues attached to him until
death; and though naturally proud
and highspirited in SO far as relates to
his master, these qualities are kept SO
much in subordination that he has
not will of his own.

Railroad Building For 1882.

If the rapidity with which the actual
building of railroads is the marvel of the
time, the greater rapidity with which
roads are mapped out, combined, est.
mated and surveyed is much more SO,
According to the plans thus far placed
on record, nearly $1,000 miles of road
are to be built in the course of the next
fifteen months. North of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers, and lying between the
Atlantic coast and the Upper Mississippi,
there are 4,791 miles; south of the Poto-
mac and Ohio Rivers there are 1859
miles. Between the Mississippi River
and the Rocky Mountains, and north of
the latitude of st. Louis, the number OF
miles is 1905 Between the Mississippi
River and the Rocky Mountains, and
south of the latitude of St. Louis, there
are 4,140 miles. West of the Rocky
Mountains the number of miles is $40.
The grand total is thus Is, 1856 miles. In
addition to the above there are projects
for building railroads in Canada, in
Mexico, and in Central America. Here
is field of railroad activity that to the
unaccustomed view seems almost bound
less. But, taking into account what is
already in progress, and what the money
has actually been subscribed for, we
have but small part of what is to be
done by the end of the coming year.

Texas Painted Caves.

Mr.. j. Van Vie informs the reporter
that his grading forces on the Mexican
extension of the Sunset Railway are now
at Painted Cave. on Devils River, or
about two miles beyond. The work
east of that point is very rough, but Mr..
Van Vie has comparatively easy work
for about half mile west. There are
three caves at this locality. all of which
are painted, the figures of buffaloes,
bears, Indians with bows and arrows in
warlike attitudes, Indians mounted and
on the chase, squaws, etc. The caves
have been tatooed entirely within, and
many of these figures are still in a good
state of preservation. This work was
done by the red men in years long gone
by, as the oldest white citizens remem-
Der these paintings, and say they look
very much now as they appeared thirty
and forty years ago, indicating the great
age of the paintings. Mr.. Van Vie has
occupied one of these caves for kitchen
and dining room purposes. 1t is about
forty feet long and ten feet wide. 1t is
approached by climbing hill, when the
cave is entered from the side of the HILL
Its mouth is covered by clusters of vines
pendant from the branches and boughs
of clump of blackberry trees. In the
top of this cave is hole, extending to
the surface, through which Mr.. Van VIE
has run two stovepipes. Another cave
still, its shape being round, and of capac-
ity to hold seventy or eighty people, is
used for storage purposes. The third
cave opens in a solid rock bluff, being
about six feet in diameter at the
mouth, and extends backwards dis
lance of about $50 feet. This cave is to
be used as magazine, in which the
powder for blasting purposes will be
stored. just below the caves the cliffs
of the rock extend from twelve to fif-
teen feet, leaving vacant space OF
about forty feet underneath them. Mr..
Van VIE will locate his blacksmith shop
under these cliffs to repair and sharpen
tools and shoe horses and mules. This
region, until within the past two or three
years, was the widest in the State, and
the red man was its inhabitant. So il
had been for all time past, so far as known.
And this is another remarkable instance
of how we Americans are progressing,
even pushing our greatest agencies Of
progress through the very Gibraltar Of
the savage.-San Antoasio Express.

Beneath the snow drifts thousands there are
Who watched the flight of other years and

No home but watched loved one leave and

To Join the sleepy multitude who rest beneath

And each New Year there seems to ring from

And mercy's stars shine overhead with mem

Party Names.

In the matter of partisan designations
the English have been more sparing than
most other Nations which enjoy political
freedom. Till lately we have practical
lV had only two parties, and in success
sive centuries they have changed their
names from Cavalier and Roundhead to
Tory and Wing, and then to Conserva-
tive and Liberal. Radical, and still
more Home Ruler, are modern out
growths. America has been more pro-
life in names, though, on the whole, as
in England, there have habitually been,
on the whole, only two great parties
namely the Wings and the Federals, now
rechristened Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. But there have been many minor
distinctions, such as Loco-focos, Know
Nothings, Copperheads, Hardshells and
Softshells. 1t is, however, when we
come to France, a country whose people
are equally prone to revolutions and to
systematic classifications, that we find
party distinctions far more numerous.
In the Chamber, for example, we have
the Center and the Left Center, and the
Pure Left and the Extreme Left; and so.
of course, with the Right. Or, if we d.
vide parties in another way, we have
three distinct kinds of Monarchists and
some half dozen kinds of Republicans,
for there is kind of Republican who
thinks Citizen Clemenceau rather slow
coach, and would prefer to see Citizen
ess Louise Michel at the head of affairs,
But at first sight who would imagine
that Germany, which some five and
twenty years ago we regarded as de-
lightful dreamy Cloudland of beer and
tobacco, music and philosophy-who
would imagine that this once slow NOV
ing Germany even beats impulsive Gaul
in the number of its political nicknamesP
At the recent election you might range
yourself under at least ten distinct ban
ners. You might be at your pleasure
National Liberal, a Secessionist, a Pro-
gressist, a Conservative, q Clerical, a
Pole, a South German, a Protester, u
Guelph and a Social Democrat. Of course
this multiplicity Of names is caused
partly by the still unrepaired breach
between Prince Bismarck and the Vati-
can, but still more by the fact that Ger

Memory in Chess Playing.

Wonderful as are the feats of chess
players, who can work out game or a
series of games without seeing the
board, there is nothing really remarka-
BILE in them. When once mastered, the
trick is not only fairly easy of perform
ance, but the fact that the process is
purely mental rather facilitates than inn
pedes the action of the mind. To the
"blind-folded'', chess player there is
present mental picture of the board
with the pieces in position. He can
change the position of the men as easily
as he can think, and after he has once
mastered the difficulty of fixing the men
tai fixture, it is distinctly before him.
Some players, who do not in their COM
mon process of memory use picture phan-
toms, work out the moves as algebraical
propositions are occasionally worked, by
phantOms Of sound; but, as rule, chess
players are mental-picture-readers, and
can at pleasure call up any one of sever
al pictures of boards as they last cou-
ceived them. The most difficult feat,
and one which very few mental chess
players can accomplish; is to play two
or three games simultaneously, the moves
made by their opponents being told them
IN close sequence and their own moves
being directed after all the reports of the
proceedings of their opponents have been
received. Thus, if there be several players
against the one mental player, he must
be told and remember what each of his
adversaries has done before he begins to
give the instructions for his several
coanter-moves. In this exploit the most
perfect development of the mental fac
ulty of distinct picturing and the dis
placement and recall of mental pictures
at will is. exhibited. The prodigious diff
ticulty of the feat can only be realized
in the attempt to perform it. Even the
expert blindfolded chess player can rare
ly succeed in accomplishing the perform
ance we have attempted to describe
London Lancet.
