4 Ride on a Wild Bull.

Recently there was 4 "rodco'' ont on
Lost river, Lake county, Oregon.
Ranchmcn had gathered for a circuit OF
scveuty-hyc miles to claim and brand
their young cattle, and when Gordon
Of men had surrounded large band
among which was Spanish bull. dis
putc arose about a mallct head" or
calf that had escaped the spring brand
ing. The discussion grew warm, none
Of the stockholders being Lble to set
n valid claim or establish an undoubtcd
title. At last in spirit Of bravado, a
rancher proposed that whoever would
ride the bull without saddle or halter
should be declared owner of the calf.
There was yell OF approval but not a
general stampede of volunteers, for
taurus was in ill-humor, and his foam
ing mouth and bloodshot eyes gave
token that whoever rode him would
have a ride as wild as Mazeppa's, and
one that might not end so we'll. At
last vaquero' named Frick accepted
the challenge and the wild bull was inn
mediately lassoed and held by lariat
round horn and foot. Dismounting
from his horse the vaquero fastened his
long spurs securely, tied a
handkerchief round his head. APP
preached the infuriated animal. and
grasping the tail in his hands sprang
lightly on il, setting the spurs deeply
in its flanks as he settled securely in
his seat The lariats we're slackened:
the bull gave n roar of rage and terror
and flung his head to the ground; but
the rider had his back ta the horns and
firm grip on the tail, and kept his
seat. Another roar that shook the
ground, wild plunge, and the now
maddened bull shot out across the sage
plain with lightning speed, his plucky
rider twisting the tail that to him was
sheet-anchor until the bellowings
we're lost in the wind. For over mile
and half the race continued, amid the
excited cheers of the vaquero's COM
rades. Occasionally the bull gave a
desperate plunge through heavy
clump of sage in the vain attempt TO
rid himself of his tormentor, but the
long rowcls only chung more firmly to
his fanks. Sometimes the animal and
rider were hidden by undulations in the
ground, and bets we're even made that
Frick would be thrown and gored; but
at last the bull, exhausted from sheer
fright, fell, and the plucky vaqucro,
stepping lightly of, returned TO claim
his prize, which was unanimously
awarded.

4 Walking barometer.


After the discussion of human
electrical batteries, it may be we'll to
add that there is in this city a young
man, q resident Of the Ninth ward. who
Is known as the Walking Barometer"
He predicts storms and changes of
atmosphere during the warm months
with wonderful accuracy. He will fore
tell a steady rain sometimes three DAYS
before il comes and will predict a
thunderstorm the, same day of its
occurrence, although there be not a
cloud in the sky at the time. He
attributes his power TO foretell these
storms to calomel in his system. He
says that several years ago, while suffer
ing from bilious attack, his physicians
gave him a dose Of calomel. At the
same time he was using one of Kidder's
galvanic machines, which contained
Smee's battery for a nervous complaint;
the solution Of this battery contained
several ounces of quicksilver with
which 10 keep the zinc plates Of the
battery coated. His physicians told
him TO give mp his battery until after
the effect Of the calomel had passed of,
as there was possibility that the
electric quicksilver solution might,
through the electric current, form q
sympathy with the calomel he had
taken, return it to its natural state of
mercury and Sc; it permanently in his
system.
After some4en days the young man
commenced TO use his battery again,
andsalmost immediately, he SAYS, he de-
tected dull pain along the bones of his
legs from the ankles to the knees, and
this pain came whenever he used the
galvanic battery, and could not be re-
moved. After giving up the use of the
battery he noticed that the pains seem
Cd to come at regular intervals, and
finally he noticed there would be n
storm, but as soon Is rain fell or there was
an explosion of electricity in the shape
of thunder, these pains instantly ceased.
In cold weather he loses his faculty of
telling when there is going TO be storm,
as the mercury in his shinbones is in a
painful state of activity all tho while.
II does not seem to bother him, howev-
er, and few people, as they see his form
moving with swift and sure step along
the streets, know the pain he is in. He
says that If quicksilver would only give
MIN rest once in a while during cold
weather, he could beat vennor ell TO
pieces on predicting storms His storm
predictions during the spring, summer
and early fall months are rarely known

redress against exorbitant rates. A
decision has just been rendered by the
supreme court Of Missiggippi which
will afford the farmers of that State
some relief. A merchant who held a
mortgage on the crops Of farmer
ioreclosed it. The lower court allowed
his bill against the farmer, although il
was shown that the prices charged were
at least double the cash rate. The su-
preme court, on appeal, reversed the
decision and affirmed that the pur-
chasef "ah not in a position TO decline
the purchase on account Of the prices
charged, and that he acguiegced in the
pHcea from an oyerruling necessity.
His eXtorted assent TO the prices fixed
WAS without consideration. and was
therefore void.
