Night Run of Cattle on the Drive.

[Gen. Brisbin, the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
 Last fall a large herd of big steers for mar ket were being driven across the country fro m Muscleshell to Billings, on the Northern Pa cifc railroad, where they were to be shipped on the cars for Chicago. There were about 2,OOO head, should judge, the property of Mir. De Hass, a very young man. One eve ming military camp had been made just ahead of the cattle and on the same side of the creek with them, up which the herd was being driV- en. A storm was coming up, and the cattle exhibited some signs of uneasiness. MT. De Hass sent word to the military officer that he had better get his men, wagons and animals on the opposite side of the creek and out Of the way, as he feared there was gong to be might run" The herders were instructed to keep their horses and saddles and be ready to mount at moments notice. The cattle were very uneasy, getting up, lying down again, and shifting about as if uncomfortable. At last about midnight there came sharp flash of lightning, followed by heavy peal of thun- der, and in an instant the whole herd was up on their feet. Mount and whip out, ? cried De Hass, and the herder, who was at the head of the column, drew of few of the leading steers in the direction they were to go. All the others followed. and the herd was soon in full flight The herders made no effort to check or control them further than to keep them going straight; they rode at the head of the column, one on each side Of them swung to the right or left and keeping the trail bluffs and precipices were avoided, and the open flat ground courted. The run lasted about two hours when 8 gorge was being neared, in which the cattle would crowd and break their limbs They were now quite tired, and the herders determined to exert their authority and stop the run. The head of the column was bent out on the prairie, and cir cled round and round until the cattle became tied up in huge ball and could not move at all. Tn this way they were obliged to stand until morning, the herders riding round and round them, and keeping them completely tied up. At daylight they were allowed to "open out" First, the outer edge scattered, then layer after layer, until the huge pile of beef was once more herd grazing as quietly as if nothing had happened.

If Senator Nelson. of Pennsylvania, is to be believed, cremation is not very popular in that State, although a crematory is situa- ted there. He has introduced a bill to pre- vent the burning or cremating of human bodies after death on the ground that 'susk bodies are generally imported from other States for cremation. and the practice is con trary to the instincts of humanity, the Chris tian civilization of the age, and abhorrent to the masses of the people of the State" The penalty proposed is fine of from $500 to $l,OO0, or solitary confinement at labor for from one to three years, or both. It is not probable that the bill will pass.

A decision in the Macoupin county, Illinois, Circuit court has interest for bank directors and depositors in banks. The judge held that the directors are personally responsible to depositor for money committed to bank after it is insolvent. This liability the judge placed upon common law principles, ire spective of statutory provisions. The bank was ruined by the cashiers theft of the con tents, and the court declared that ignorance was no excuse when their official inspection, which they were bound to make, would have disclosed the true state of affairs.

And now it is charged that Governor But ler's practice is not in keeping with his pro- fessions of economy in the use of the State's money. The vouchers show that the State is paying at the rate of 3,650 for Governor Buffers clerks and messengers, where his Republican predecessors expended only $2,- 300 year. Governor Long's expenditures from May, 1882 until his term expired were at the rate of $1,1OO. This is not very good showing for ''the reform Governor

He WIN Not Kick Aagainst Removal but
WIN Write to the President.
BALTIMORE, May 17.-Mr. G. Irving
Ditty, who has been displaced In the reve-
nue. collectors office by Mr.. Sell
man, says he will make no attempt to re-
tain the office against the wish OF the Presi-
dent. He says further be would
take no advantage of the tenure OF
Office act II he thought he could retain his
office by doing SO, but he does not think 1t
would avail him anything. He has the idea
that the Democrats would perhaps desire to
encourage him in making contest for polit-
zeal effect, but he has no intention of graft
flying them. He says he is preparing letter to
the President which he will send TO Washing
ton In a few days. The President has as
signed no reason for Mr.. Ditty's removal,
though the cause assigned in the newspapers
is physical infirmity. Mr.. Ditty says this is
absurd, for the reason that his health is better
now than 1t was when he went into office. He
says further that the purport of the re-
port made by the experts sent by the
Treasury Department TO toinvestigate his office
lately was favorable to his administration,
and that he has been crowded by special
agents ever since he has been the revenue
collector. The rating Of bis Office in their
reports has been A No. not only for interior
administration but for outside work also.
He says he will defy anyone to point to q
single flaw in his administration and clSims
that his Office will rank with the very best in
the country. He assigns polltital con
siderations and influence as the cause
of his deposition, and in his letter
to the President will fully
explain the details OF the Holton imbroglio
Mr.. Ditty admits that he did not vote fol
Mr.. Holton, but he claims that his influence
kept an independent candidate out of thu
field. His letter will be prepared in a few
days and forwarded TO Washington.
