Texas Cattle.

Westward from Houston the country becomes drier, though there is still much low prairie. All elong the road through this region one sees many cat tie, ara ssop learns the meaning of the accounts, so often fepssted, of cattle being able to "liye out all winter with- out food or shelter" They do live so that is, some of them do. Many die from starvation. I saw their bodi es everywhere, and many of those still alive were wretchedly emaciated. Hun- dreds of them were, to use an expressive southwestern phrase, Ion the lift ;" that is, when they laid down they were so weak that they could not get up {; but if they were helped to get up they could walk about and feed, until weari- ness or weakness prompted them to lie down again, when the process had to be repeated. I saw great numbers of dead animals in the pools and ditches, where they had come to drink, and being too weak to struggle through the mud they
 
 drowned. The owners appeared gen. erally to hold the same cheerful philoso- phy with a man with whom I talked at Corinth, Miss. who thought he did not lose much when hundreds of his sheep died for want of food and shelter, be. cause, as he said, "we get the wool" So those Texas cattle men seemed satis- fled with the hides. Hundreds and thousands of the cattle die when the new grass begins to come ;" so was told everywhere. The explanation is that the cattle, weak from long starva- tion and raven ous with hunger, eat ex- cessively of the fresh grass. They have no "dry feed" to serve as a corrective, and the surfeit on green food kills them. The whole system and plan of cattle. raising in this State seemed to me to be enormously wastelul, yet the industry is 8 sourcel of weath. It would, how ever, be much more profitable with bet ter methods and as population be- comes more dense, and the range for cattle is circumscribed, these will of necessity be adopted. Nearly every pursuit in the South is to great extent carried on, or rather goes on, with sini- lar wastefulness of method and res ult. Of course no business thus managed produces. so much as it would if prose- cuted with even moderate energy, fore sight, and prudence, I should not like to express my opinions upon such mat ters so foroibly as southern men ex- press theirs everywhere. --Ju,ae AtlGn-

Boarding House Rooms.

The four walls are there-often with an ugly paper on them-with the orthodox bed stead and bureau and chairs, possibly 0 hard lounge, but probably none at all. What possibilities of cheerfulness are there in such room, if the occupants have no furniture of their own with which to brighten itp

 This is just where they make mis- take, because it would pay It would pay to drape the windows with cheap but tasteful curtains-those of white muslin, Canton flannel, or low priced worsted stuffs being particularly ser viceable for winter-to drape the mantel with the same, and to have @ table cover that matches or harmonizes. A lounge improvjsed from packing box, with springs and a small husk mattress over tbom, could be covered to suit the draperies. A few touches of this kind would completely transform bare. ugly room into some thing homelike, and the small outlay acquired would certainly be returned tenfold. -Harper's

An Irish Salmon Leap.

In mild weather, when the wind Is from the Atlantic, gales blow straight up these glens, cutting the tops off the small waves as they come careening over the stones, and apparently doing their best to drive the water up stream again--a samon leap is fine sight on such day as that. The water, no lon ger series Of insignificant trickles, comes down in broad yellow gush, sending out great flakes of foam before it, to be carried back by the wind and lodged in creamy clots upon the trees and upon every scrap of herbage within reach. On such days the whole glen above the fall may often be seen through sheet of finely divided spray, caught from the fall and flung backward by the wind. Standing abovo the leap and looking down we may see the big salmon and the white trout crowding in the pool below us, their heads held we'll up stream, despite the tug of the current in the opposite direction. Now and then ono detaches himself from the rest, leaps forward, quivers moment in mid. air, and then, in nine cases out of ten, falls headlong down into the pool again. The height to which both salmon and white trout will spring on these falls is astonishing, a leap of eight and ten feet being by no means unusual; and how ever often defeated, after a few mo- ment's rest, the same salmon may be seen returning agaiu and again to the assault. When thus intent upon busi- ness the fish seem to lose all their shy ness. as if every faculty was for the moment concentrated wholly in the effort to reach the upper waters. Lean ing over the rocks alongside of the salmon leap. we may stoop so as to actually touch with stick the smooth brown backs so temptingly near at hand, and we shall find that they take little or no notice, merely moving to one side, without for moment relaxing in their efforts to reach the top-a trait which unfortunately has the effect of making them fall only too easy prey to the local poacher. No art of any sort is required to spear 8 salmon when, spent and exhausted, it reaches the top of its climb. Armed with 8 gaff-one extem- porized out of 8 scythe-the loafng ''gossoon" or village ne'er-do-well may pick and choose among 8 crowd of salmon and white trout, and the silvery scales which catch the eye here and there among the wet grass are proof only too convincing that he has not neglected his opportunities. .--The Corn hiU Magazine.

When he came to himself he was lying on the ground in the open air. Russ, hatless, with blood trickline down his cheek, and locks of matted hair struggling over his eyes, was sitting up beside him. His father was there, on one knee. and his paother came running from the house, with @ bottle in her hand. Walt and Luff stood looking on, both very anxious and very much abashed.

 "How did it all happenS how did 1t begin ?" Russ inquired, hardly yet re- covered from his stupor.
 1T began it, I'm ashamed to say," Luff confessed, folio wing Waits exam pie, and speaking from the deepest feel ing of which he was capable: "t was foolihg with Little Brother, when I knocked stone down on your head"

 Yes, sir" huf replied, with frank self-condemnation "I was going to hold him while the blast went off, because he always showed that he dreaded it 80, aud thought he was such o coward ?''
 "A coward, my son !" exclaimed their mother, clasping Milton to her heart.
 "I've been a mean, cowardly ruffian myself, and that's 8 factv r said Luff. "As Walt says, Little Brother has more courage than both of us. i hope you'A all remind me of it, if ever lay rough hands on him again."

A STORY OF RoME-The Court of Assizes in Rome has pronounced ajudg- ment of acquittal in favor of young woman named Ermenegilda Spinetta, who pleaded guilty to charge of kill ing her husband, and, in reply to the customary questions put to her by the President of the court, described in de. tail how she committed the crime. The evidence wont conclusively to show that her husband was an idle ruffian, who sought to trade upon his wife's beauty, and to drive her into shame full career for his support. During a violent altercation on the subject she caught up a razor and gave him slash across the throat, which separated the carotid. The jury agreed at once to a verdict of acquittal, on the ground of irresistible impulse, and the prisoner was loudly applauded as she left the court,

Caught by a Fish.

As long as men "do business in the great watats" there will be tales to tell of that Brisreus of the ocean, the crea- ture with nine hundred arfd sixty sangs. The Portland Transcript prints an old ish.dealer's story of one of these 1 "tbotlsaud-f fingered dragons, the spread of whose arms were ahont twenty-five feet. The narrator was with party ot divers who were searching for 8 wreck near Vancouver's Island.
 We discovered the old hulk in about four fathoms. In the crew were two half-breeds from Mexico, who could stay under water, it seemed to me, about ten minutes. They were pearl divers tf6tr the Panama coast, and when they went down they cnrried s heavy stone to sink them, and 8 rope to make fast to anything they could find.
 When the oldest diver slipped over we could follow him on the bottom by the ait bubbles. His mate held a small lifeline that 10 siGnslled by.
 In about four minutes thS signal came, and we hauled away. He came aboard with jump, and said that he had hooked on to cask or box, and that as soon as he moved it g big cloud of mud or sand arose, as if some big fish had moved, and, thinking of sharks, he had coma Up for his knife.
 He seemed somewhat exhausted, and the other man said he would go down. Taking sharp knife in his mouth, he was lowered and was soon out of sight. After he had been down about five minutes there came pull on the life- line that nearly jerksd the skipper over- board. We pulled and pulled, until it was evident something was wrong, and we gave way hard and by the way it came, we thought the whole wreck was afoul.
 In half a minute we had Pedro's head out of water. but the sight of it almost made us drop him back into the water. The poor fellow was almost covered with what seemed to be mass of snakes that were twisted all over him.
 The arms and legs of the animal wrlthed about, some around his neck, others around his arms and body. while fastened to his breast was big, bag like body with pair of eyee like cats with the same green light you ses ii them in the dark.
 The skipper and the other diver knew that it was devil-6sh and sung out fol knives: We couldn't get it on deck, be cause three or fodr of its arms we.t slung around the bow cable.
 The diver lowered himself, and put ting his knife in under the animal, ht slit it in two. The skipper in the mean time was at work in the fore chains and he cut off the arms. Then with { jerk we had the man on deck.
 He was half dead, and we had to GU the octopus from him piece by piece and even after # was cut up the two jaws clung to his chest and had to b. cut out. It took half an hour to cleal hiin, ae each sucker-aud there were hundreds-brought blood when it wal torn off.
 We filled two barrels with the pieces that we took from him, and the whole animal must have weighed two hundred and fifty pounds, and probably more We put it together afterward on tho deck, and measured from the tip of on' arm to the tip of the opposite one twenty-two feet.

Snapping at the Bait.
