Branding Cattle.
From the Chicago Times


Branding cattle, as it is performed on
the great ranches Of the west, should not
be classed as I" a relic of barbarism," as
vt is called by some, for barbarians do
not practlce such inhuman treatment.
tits reported that savage Indians often
demonstrate with the white settlers re-
specting this kind OF torture. It is stat
ed that the government of every country
in South America has prohibited, under
very heavy penalties, the branding OF
any kind Of live stock on the body, and
ouIy allows small brands to be used on
the lower part of the leg, neck, or FORE
head. In this country brands of any
size are allowed to be used, and they can
be applied on any portion of the Animal.
Some stock owners use brands of so large
a size that the marks can be seen at q
long distance. The injury to hides has
become SO great that tanners require q
large reduction to be made in the price
of them, The tanners association of
France has requested the government to
use its influence with ell countries from
which hides are obtained to put stop
to the branding Of cattle for commercial
reasons. Humanitarian reasons should
prompt other persons to use their influ-
ence to abolish the practice. It would
seem as though human ingenuity could
devise some method of marking cattle
without restoring to the employment Of
red-hot lron.s Mature cattle could be
marked on the horn and cattle of all ages
on the hooi Any method OF permanent
ly chang ing the. color OF hair wouldmake
it practicable TO dispense with brand
ing, In the absence IF other methods of
branding q collar could be fitted TO the
neck IT pice Of meta, attached to the
horn. 1871 's'''''7A=i ,7@

the Americans hold oratory in esteem,

How a Judge Checked Perjury.


A Danish coleman magistrate, for
whose exceptional character and ability
we can vouch, once made grimly comic
experiment in this direction, and upon
this principle: He was appalled, by the
endless perjury committed in cases before
him, determined to stop it, and did.
He, Of course, said nothing of his method,
but AL English friend seated beside u I'M
on the bench noticed that whenever u
witness told palpable lie he jumped.
He asked the reason, and the magistrate,
after a caution, revealed the secret.
" My orderly stands behind the witness,
and whenever 1 put my left hand to nv

false, aud he runs pin into him. 1t

The pale moon brighter grew,
Inc SOFT Sreensward so eagerly
Was welcoming the dew

AS drew hear my gray-eycd Maid
Ay gray-eyed maid who never vet
Had answered yea nor nay,
But when l begged of her kiss
Looked straight another way,
And spoke of tree, or 0ow'r, or bird.
AS though she had not heard q word,
fingered by the open door,
She dreamed not was near,
and thus it was my happy fate
Ibe song she sang to hear
"A song with sweetest music filed,
Sang to the strain cricket shrilled.
1t was the most delightful thing

Her merry notes accorded to
The crichct's monotone,
And as the words she sang caught,
The night with melody seemed fraught
Yes, yes. cricket, love him,
And some tine I'll tell BIN so;
Sut not yet-oh, no, no, no!
Modest maidens should be slow
What is in their hearts to show.
And Ills but two months ago
since we first met. Pinks and roses,
