Wanted to be a Cowboy.

A frail, delicate-looking youth ar
rived here from Chicago few days ago
and went to the Grand Central Hotel.
Here he secured apartments for the
night, and, having enjoyed big dose
of tired natures sweet restorer, went
down to breakfast very much refreshed
and in better spirits than he had been
possessed of on the preceding night.
He was boy in whom there was a
spirit which yearned for distinction,
and he had come West to make hero
of himself.
After breakfast he stepped into the
office, where he espied large, portly
man, who was sitting by the stove
warming himself. This man appeared
to the young hero perfect giant, a
typical Western, big-handed, big
hearted fellow, who would throw out a
paw to stranger, and say:
"Put it thar, pard; 1 know your
racket, and I'll see you through"
Accordingly our young Chicagoan
resolved to approach him and become
acquainted. He drew up a chair tim
y, and opened the conversation with
a frank statement OF the object of his
journey out to New Mexico.
He said he had heard great deal
about cowboys. He wanted to be a
cowboy himself; but the fact was he
did not exactly know how to be one.
Would not his friend tell him what to
do? He had come all the way from IL
linois to become brave cowboy, and,
if somebody would just tell him how,
he would repay the kindness if God
would spare his life.
His large friend took in tie situa-
ton. So far from being in the amiable
humor which the young man had sup
posed was characteristic. of the from
tiersman, he was morose. His head
ached, in fact, from the effects of the
night before, and, being highly re-
spectacle citizen, he did not feel COM
plimented at being mistaken for cow
boy in the presence of so many ac-
quaintances. He paused a moment,
and then gravely proceeded to give his
instructions:
"You want to get pair of big boots
and pair of huge spurs. Then you
want a buckskin suit with plenty OF
fringe; a broad-brimmed white hat
the broader the better; two forty fves,
a knife, a Winchester and a horse.
Then you want to get drunk and get on
the horse; then take the reins between
your teeth, a revolver in each hand,
and 90 down the street at full run.
shooting at every jump. Then come
back and yell as loud as you can: My
name is =, and I'm sinking for q
fight; I'm a sonOfagun from the plains :
After that you will be q cowboy.
The boy walked sadly away to pack

One Thousand Million Letters.

During the year which ended on the
Both of June last, there were carried
in the mails of the United States more
than one thousand million letters. AS
the population of the country is rather
more than fifty millions, it follow. that
on the average, men, women and chill
dren, every person in the country sent
twenty letters during the year, and re-
ceived the same number.
The development of the modern
post office is one of the most remarka-
BILE features OF our present state OF
civilization. The increase of the bust
ness gives constant surprise to all who
observe it, and yet no person has an
idea that any near limit can be fixed to
it's expansion.
In 1860 the entire receipts of the
Post office Department only slightly
exceeded eight and half million dol
lars. In 1870, there were nearly nine
teen millions. In 1881 they came near
thirty seven millions. 1t is not drawing
very much upon the imagination to
estimate that by 1890 they will exceed
seventy millions of dollars.
The United States has the cheapest
postal system in the world. 1t is true,
the single rate of letters. three cents,
is fifty per cent. more than the British
penny rate, but the average distance
which letters are carried in this country
is more than twice that over which they
are carried in England.

Snow Sheds.

The wonderful snow sheds-tunnels
ON the Central Pacific Rail- Dad are
of two kinds, one with very steep roofs
and the other with fiat roofs. They
cost per mile from $1,000 to $4,000,
and in some places where heavy mason
nv was needed the cost reached $4,000
a mile. They are firmly constructed
to support the great weight of snow
and to resist the rush of avalanches.
Fire precautions are very thorough.
Corrugated plates of iron separate the
buildings into sections, and in the great
ten mile section there are automatic
electric fire-alarms. At the summit Is
an engine AMI tank always ready to
flood the ignited spot in moment.
These sheds shut in the view Of the
great Sierras, but without them travel
would be impossible. Sometimes five
feet of snow falls upon them in a day,
and often thirty feet lies on the ground
at one time, and in many places snow
accumulAtes to the depth of fifty feet
above these great wooden arches.-En-

Texas River Improvements.
Special to Galveston News.

WASHINGTON, March TO- The Com
merce committee reached the remain
ing Texas river and harbor improve
ments and acted on them to-day. Mr..
Reagan urged liberal and adequate APP
preparations for the mouth OF the Bra
EOS, Buffalo bayou and the ship channel.
The committee agreed to allow the
mouth of the Braz Is $4,000. Mr.. Rea-
gan urged $4,000 for this work, and
also made good fight for Buffalo ba-
you and the slip channel. After some
discussion, the So, 900 proposition was
lost by one vote, and SAC, 900 was agreed
on.
Buffalo bayou was allowed $4,000.
The ship channel came near getting
nothing, on account of Morgan's hold
ing the key to the deep water part OF
it, but the committee agreed TO allow it
$4,000 with certain conditions, which
Messrs Reagan and Mills will draw up
and rubmit TO the committee, which
will about mean that the secretary of
war shall determine whether il will be
cheaper to buy the Morgan channel or
/ improve the natural lead Of the water
around the Morgan channel.
/ The Neches river was allowed S3,OOO,
the Sabine $1,000, the Trinity $1,000,
and 81 900 was allowed for the protec-
ton of the river bank at Fort Brown.
The entire amount appropriated for
/ Texas river and harbor Improvements
is SS77,OOO. IL might be possible that
SINE more money m Iy be aided in the
senate TO some OF these works, but IL Is
hardly probable. as our senators viii
have much Ia do TO keep what is al
ready allowed.
