Cattle Raising in Texas.

Westward from Houston the country
becomes dryer, though there is still much
low prairie. All along the road through
this region one sees many cattle, and
soon learns the meaning of accounts, SO
often repeated. of cattle being able to
live out all winter, without food or shell

them do. Many die from starvation.

Of them still alive were wretchedly ema-

that is, when they laid down they were vel,
50 weak that they could not get up; but
if they were helped to get up they could
walk about and feed, until weari-
to lie down again, when the process
had to be repeated. I saw great num-
bers of dead animals in the pools
and bitches, where they had come
to drink, and being too weak to
struggle through the mud they had fallen
into the water and been drowned. The
owners appeared generally to hold the
same cheerful philosophy with man
with whom talked at Corinth, Missis-
siPpi, who thought he did not lose much
when hundreds of his sheep died
for want of food and shelter, becanse, as
he said, I'VE git the WOOL" So those
Texas cattle men seemed satisfied with
the hides. Hundreds and thousands
Of the cattle die when the new grass be-
gins to Gomez" so was told everywhere.
The explanation is that the cattle, weak
from long starvation and ravenous with
hunger, eat excessively of the fresh
grass. They have no "dry feed" to serve
as corrective, and the surfeit on green
food kills them. The whole system and
plan ofcattle-raising in this State seemed
to me to be enormously wasteful, yet the
industry is source of wealth. It would
however, be much more profitable with
better methods; and as population be-
come more dense, and the range for cat
tie is circumscribed, these will Of neces-
eity be adopted. Nearly every pursuit
in the south is to great extent carried
on, or rather goes on with similar waste

The b Fowl.

The Light Brahma is said by many to
be the most profitable fowl for both eggs
and chickens. 1t is a good winter layer
and breeds early; the chicks are very
hardy, grow fast, and are in demand at
high prices in the market for early broil-
ers, and the fowls reach we light of
eight to twelve pounds at eight months
Old. Of course all this is only secured
by the best Of care, and no fowl living
will do we'll without that. The next best
fowl for eggs and chickens is the Ply
mouth Rock, and(the next best the game
fowl, which, while it is extra good in
quality, is quite small.

Saluting Infant Royalty at Ber-

San Francisco Chronicle Letter.
At the guardshouses there is consider
able fuss made whenever any royalty
passes that way. It is the duty and the
only duty of the sentry on guard to keep
his eye open for royalty. When he sees
it-and he seems to have remarkably
long range of vision-he yells at the top
of his by no means musical voice. The
rest of the guard drop their cards and
pipes, rush precipitately out, fall in, and
present arms with drums beating. This
sort OF thing is gone through with every
time any royalty passes. Even
the infant children of the
crown prince receive the. same homage.
There is something strange in seeing a
lot Of grown men present arms to year
old infant. But they do it every time

takes the children. out for IN airing.

The lallny Days Of Steamboat
Life OF the MiSSiSSiDDi.

Mark Twain's thrilling account OF
steamboat life on the Mississippi has
awakened a peculiar interest in the sub
ject with the millions who have read his
books. The time when boats like the
Matches and Robt. l.. Lee, had thcil
great trials of speed "for life or death !"
forms an era, as it were, III inland navi
CATION Of our country. These reflections
occurred to the mind of Commercial
reporter when a day or two ago he had
the pleasure of meeting the veteran
steamboat man, Capt. Chas. N. CORR, at
Wizards Hotel where he now makes
his home. The fact that the captain is
one Of the oldest and most favorably
known gentlemen in the profession
having served in official capacities OF
zap ain etc. for over thirty years, and
beng acquainted throughout the Ohio
and Mississippi Valley-sl,ggested !. bril-
liant prospect for IN interesting item to
the man Of news. However, it became
at once apparent that Capt. CORR was not
the man who desired publicity of the
trials and triumphs attendant upon his
long career. Yet he was exceedingly
glad to refer to Il matter which mi GIT
prove of public interest and benefit. He
observed to the reporter: "Owing to
the exposure incident to steamboat
mans life, l had been for many years Il
sufferer from Rheumatism. In seeking
relief had spent great deal ofmoney,
and tried many remedies, but all with
no avail. Recently was induced to try
st. Jacobs Oil and found relief from the
first few applications. After the use of
two bottles / found myself entirely
cured. l take pleasure in recommend
ing this remedy to those suffering with
Rheumatism" Such Endorsements as
the foregoing, coming from our own peo-
pie, leave no doubt that the emphatic
claims made in the interest of the above
curative agent are fully justified and
most strongly founded.

THE CIRCULAR, BUSINESS.

The discussion of Dear Hubbells -

results in a preponderance of public
oninion that the business of assessing
errand boys, day laborers, letter carriers,
and even female nurses in the Govern
ment employ for the Republican
party Treasury, in which Mr.. Hubbell
and his associates are engaged, is not
only contemplate, but criminal; and it
is 4 matter of public cong~ratulation that
the Civil Service Reform associations
now propose to present the subject to
the United States Grand Juries in New
York and Brooklyn and elsewhere.
THIS IS the proper way to get at the
root OF the evil, and we hope though
not confidently that the intended pros
ecutious may be accompanied with whole
some results.
The exaction of assessments for politi.
cal purposes, under the preteuse that
they are solicited only as voluntary
contributions, is as bad as can be, and
if Democrats ever resorted to it, it is
none the better for that. But we venture
to assert that a fixed percentage assess
mcnt vas never levied by the authority
Of the Democratic organization upon the
ofice-holders Of the Federal Govern
meut. The Democratic o~tlice-holders
contributed what they pleased, without
fear Of dismissal from Office for refusing
10 contribute.

can party to illustrate the depravity Of
an intensified ''spoils system'-of cruel,
