Savage Surrirals in Domestic Cattle.

One would suppose that Jersey cat
tie, which are probably the oldest do,
mesticated breed, and which are noted
for being such doCile and gentle pets,
had outgrown all traces of their wild.
habits; but I have frequently noticed
some traits in my herd which seem to
me to be survival of their wild habits
away back In far-distant times. For
instance, in going to or returning from
the pasture, the strongest COW or bulb
heads the procession, and the weakest
or youngest calves bring up the rear.
This order of movement is seldom var
led, and it would seem to have been
necessary for the protection of the weaker
members of the herd In wild state.
Then it often happens that those in the
rear, as they are being driven to pas
ture, are lazy IN their movements, and II
is somewhat difficult to tTge them along.
But turn out and leave one or more such
animals behind They quickly find the
use OF their legs, and very soon gallop
mp to the herd, the protection of which
they no doubt think they need. Chose
grass and a good appetite are alike una
vailing to keep them back when the
herd is moving away. Again, they
sometimes all take a notion to walk
very slowly and linger by the way, even
when much urged to go forward. All
such times let man come up behind
them ON run, making Gathering
noise with his feet, and without other
effort the herd will prick up their ears
and break into trot. When moping.
over the ground sucha noise behind
them will arouse them to life and move
ment at once. Horses act very much
in the same manner when they Suddenly
hear the Gathering of feet along the
ground. 1t has seemed to me that in
their wild state they must have learned
that this noise indicated the near ap-
proach Of danger, either from the APP
prehension of eniemies or from fright
among their own associates, and that
the habit has survived the necessities
which called it into existence. Such
peculiarities, though not specially im-
portant or noteworthy in themselves,
would be more marked and decided in
wild state, and what we see now IS but
faint trace of the alert habits Of their
old-time predecessors. - Charles A.
dTich iaa the A21ericdSa Naturalist.

illness of the late president and his
consequent inability to perform the
functions of his Office. 1t is pro-
Vlded by the second article of con-
stitution, in the fifth clause of the
hrst section that in case of the re-
inoval of the president from office,
or of his death, resignation or in
ability TO discharge the powers and
duties of said office, the same shall
devolve on the vice president.
What is the intention OF the consti-
tuition in its specification of inability
TO discharge the powers and duties
OF said office as one of the contin-
gencies which calls the vice presi-
dent TO the exercise of presidential
functions? Is the invalidity limited
in it's nature to long continued in
tellectual capacity or has il a broader
import! What must be its extent
and duration? How must its exist
ence be established? Has the presi-
dent, whose inability is the subject
of inquiry ANY voice in determining
whether or not it exists, or is the de-
cision of that momentous and deli
cate question confided to the vice.
president, or is it contemplated by
the constitution that congress
should provide by law precisely
what should be the statutory ina
bility, and how and by what tribu-
nal or authority it should be ascer-
tanned! If the inability proves to be
temporary in its nature, and during
its continuance the vice-president
lawfully exercises the functions of
the executive, by what tenure does
he hold his office? Does he con-
tinue as president for the remainder
of the four years term, or
would the elected president, if
his inability should cease in the in
terval be empowered to resume
his Office. and If having such lawful
authority he should exercise il,
would the vice president be there
upon empowered to resume his
powers and duties as such. | can
not doubt that these important
questions will receive your early and
thoughtful consideration. Deeply
impressed with the gravity of the
responsibilities which have so uneX-
pectedly devOlved upon me, il
will be my constant purpose to CO.
operate with you i'll such measures
as will promote the glory of the
country and the prosperity of the

CHRIST AND THE LITTLE ONES.

With touch of his finger, they say.
"And now | shall carry the children
Little Rachel and Samuel and John
| shall carry the baby Esticr
For the Lord to look upon.
The father looked at her kindly,
But he shook his head and smiIed:
''Now, who but doting mother
Would think ola plan so wild:
Ii the children were tortured by demons,
Or dying of fever-'twere well;-
Or had they the faint Of the leper,

Perhaps | sh Hll leave Ii there.
If He lay His hands on the children,

For blessing forever and ever
QWill follow them wherever they GO
So over the hills of Judah,
Along by the vine rows green,
With Esther asleep on her bosom,
And Rachael her brothers between,
'MOng the people who hung on His teaching,
Or waited His touch or His word,
Thro' the rows of proud Pharisees listening,
She pressed to the feet Of the Lord.
"NOw, why shouldst thou trouble the Master,
Said Peter, with children like these -
= Seeist how nom morning till evening
He teacheth and healeth disease -
Then Christ said. ''Forbid not the children,
Permit them 20 come unto me- ="
And he took in his arms little Esther,
And Rachel he sat Oh his knee.
And the heavy heart Of the mother
Was lifted all earth care above,
As he laid his hands on the brothers
And blessed them with tendereet love,
As He said of the babes In his bosom
''Of such Is the Kingdom of Heaven,
And strength for all duty and trial
That hour to her spirit was given.

Another Daring Robbery in Bastrop
County.

X. W. Hubbard's store in Hills Prsi-
rie, ten miles below the ia'vu Of Bastrop,
was robbed about dusk O. tst Saturday
evening, by four men, tv" e whom were
disguised. The robbers got about $500 in
money, two watches and chains, and u
lot of blankets, boots, etc. There WAS
no one In the store at the time, except
Mr.. Hubbard and his nephew. The rob-
bers camped in the brush, q short dis
lance from Hubbard's store, on Friday
night, and remained there concealed all
day Saturday. They are the same parties
whorobbed Mr.. Sass store at Smithvillc,
Bsstrop county short time ago, and are
supposed 20 be the same crowd that rob-
bed the store at Hutto last week. They
were seen at several different places on
Friday night, on their way to Hills Prai-
RTE, by persons who could easily recog-
niZe them. Mr.. Hubbard sent to the
town of Bastrop for Sheriff jenkins,
but the robbers had so much the
start of the sherif7s posse that they
were unable TO come up with them.
They followed the trail to Webberville
until late hour Sunday night. Here
they lost 10, and surprising the men
would visit Austin, the sheriff and his
deputies hurried on, reaching here ut
O'Clock yesterday morning. They kept n
sharp lookout nearly all day yesterday,
but could learn nothing OF men answer
ing the description OF the robbers, and
IL Is thought now they crossed
the river ut Webberville, and went in the
direction of LOckhart or Lullng. All four
are young men, two of them riding
splendid bay horses, while the other two
are well mounted on grays. They are
well armed, two OF the eldest of the
crowd having Winchester rifles.

A DOWN TOWN MEKUaANT

Having passed several sleepless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured q supply
Tor the child. On reaching home and ac-
quainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have ii administered
to the child, as she was strongly In favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed In suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke In the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change. and although
at first offended at the deception practiced
upon her. has continued to use the Syrup.
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial
ofthe Syrup never yet failed to relieve
the baby, and overcome the preiudices OF
the mother. Sold by all druggists. %
