More About the COWbOy.

A genuine cowboy is worth describing.
In many respects he is wonderful or "a
ture. He endures hardships that would
take the lives of many men, and, is there
fore, a perfect type Of physical manhood.
He is the finest horseman in the world,
and excels in all the rude sports Of the
field He aims to be dead shot, and I'M
iversally is Constantly during the herd
ing season he rides seventy miles day,
and a majority of the year sleeps in the
open air. His life in the saddle makes
him worship his horse, and it, with RI
tle and sixshooter, completes his hap;i-
ness. OF vice in the ordinary sense he
he knows nothing. He is a rough, unco,ith
brave and generou, creature, who nev.r
lies or cheats. 1t is mistake to imagine
that they are a dangerous set. Any one
is as safe with them as with any people
in the world. unless he steals Il horse or
is hunting for fight. In their ewes
death is mild punishment for horse
stealing. Indeed,it is the highes! crime
known to the unwritten law ofthe ranrl
Their life, habits. education and neces j.
ties breed this feeling in them. But with
all this disregard Of human life there are
less lnur,lerrs cuttliroat> graduated from
the cowboys than from among the better
educated classes of the east who come out
here for venture or gain.
They delight in appearing rougher than
they are To tenderfoot. as they call
an eastern man they love to tell blool-
curdling storiesand impress him with the
dangers on the frontier. But no man
need get in quarrel with them unless
he seeks it, orget harmed unless he COM
mits some crime. They very often own
an interest in the herd they are watching,
and very frequently become owners of
ranches The slang of the range they
always use toperfection, and in season or
out of season. Unless you want to insult
him, never offer cowboy pay for any
kindness he has done or for share of
his rude meal.

Death OF Allan PinkertOn.

Allan Pinkerton, the famous detective,
died at $40 Tuesday July lst. He had
been gradually sinking from the effects
Of malarial fev5r. contracted some weeks
ago while on visit 10 the south Ply
sirians virtually abandoned all hope last
night. The deceased was unconcious
when he expired. He was born in 1919
at Glasgow, Scotland. where his father
was sergeant of the police. He was
apprenticed to cooper, and at twenty
two years Of age attained prominence in
the Chartist agitation, his connection
with which forced him 10 leave Great
Britain. At Dundee, ILL.,, Pinkerton es-
tahlished paying cooperage business,
aud later was incidentally engaged as an
amateur detective. His success decided
his filrture career and the establishment
of the Pinkerton detective agency. His
assistance to the abolition movement,
and the prominent part he took in the
secret service during Lincoln's admins
tration, as we'll as hairbreadth escapes
and wonderful sagacity, are household
words in the matter Of history

JOHN L. and MITCHELL

self, but Wants to be Fair
to a Sick Man."

New YORK, June 3O.-Between 5000
and G.OOO people, including hundreds
from Boston and Philadelphia, and large
delegations from Baltimore and Chicago,
went to Madison Square garden tonight
to see the glove contest arranged to take
place: between John l.. Sullivan ard
Charles Mitchell.
The stories circulated the last few days
concerning Sullivan's drunkenness and
Mitchells malaria did not seem to shake
the belief Of the good-nxtured public
that the men meant to have bona fide
and exciting contest. In the early even
ing it was reported that both boxers
were in good condition. The first part
of the nights programme, in which ap-
peared several members of the sullivan
combination, and others, passed off
pleasantly, the SPECTATORS giving hearty
encouragement to the slmrrers. A few
minutes before ten o'clock, the great
John l.. Sullivan in street costume stag
gered up the steps leading to the plat
form, accompanied by Billv UBrien and
another man, who was said To be Dr. W.
II. Vandcrpool, Of the Ashland house.
OBrien announced t" the anxious crowd
that the doctor had positively stated
that MIR. Sullivan was too i'll to spar.
He said that rather than have the people
disappointed, Dominick McCaffrey would
spar Mitchell O'Brien was hooted.
Then the great Sullivan made his way
to the edge of the ring and supporting
himself by the ropes, he made few re-
marks. He looked like ''terrible ex-
ample" His hat was unbr,,sl,ed and his
clothes soiled. He was bloated in body
and his face and features were red and
distorted almost beyond recognition.
Standing in the attitude of a lounger at !,
bar, he said in a hoarse voice that could
be heard but few feet away:
81 can't spar tonight Pm too sick.
You may think Pm drunk but ! amt
Pm sick. don't think it fair to give
you friendly set to with Mr.. Mitchell,
for you didn't come to see that" Then
the renowned "Mr. Sullivan was hearth
ly hissed.
Mitchell, who had assembled the plat
form while Sullivan was speaking, now
came t" the ropes and had his ''little
say" Mitchell was somewhat pale and
thin, and his lips swollen and sore look
ing. Tie Englishman said, "Im in no
condition to spar. myself; have had
it very bad with malaria, and ! don't
think it would be fair tO Mr.. Sullivan to
have this match as am feeling petty
good tonight, and came here to do
the best conld. that is all there is in it,"
The people cried" d"shame" and hissedanl
and shouted sullivan you've lost your
reputation" and made various del,rrt-,-
tory remarks, and then slowly and sadly
left the building. 1t is estimated that
$14 900 was taken in by the management.
and that 5000 covers all the expenses.so
the Sullivan and Mitchell combination
have $4,000 to divide as the result Of
ther much talked of and gratnitously ad-
vertised combat"

Regarding the Annexation or Cuba.

In the Senate Prime Minister CASTILLO
stated that Spain had no intention Of sell
ing Cuba An important interview took
place yesterday between Foster, the amer
cani Minister, and CASTILLO and Senor FL.
duayen, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
Spanish Ministers showed :, great desire
to arrive at equitable commercial rela-
tions. Foster assured them that America
was animated with an amiciablc view re-
garding trade with Cuba, and as far as
possible was inclined to meet the views
Of Spain and Cuba. He declared that
America had no desire 10 annex Cuba
now or at any future time. America
had no wish to assume further political
responsibilities. He thought, however,
that something must be done for Cuba
quickly, as Mexico was already import
ing sugar into America free. Unless
Cuba and the English West Indies secur-
ed equal terms it is evident that their
hest market was gone.

Mixed Farming.

An assuredly, fnlly demonstrated fact
in agricultural matters is, that country
where mixed farming is carried on, is
richer in it's assessment roll than grain
country. The land in the former case is
ordinarily cropped by rotation to various
kinds of produce, no one needing the
same elements of the soil as the other,
thus giving to plants feeling constituent
of the soil needed rest each year. The
stock kept on place and pastured re-
turns condensed plant food to, and thus
pays its quota towards the enrichment
Of the soil which supplies its food. These
features are absent on an entire wheat
farm, and the heavy drafts made on the
fertility of the soil must at some time
effect a material deduction from the
value of the farm. The mixed farm is
not limited to the recommendations
mentioned 1t has the additional and
very vital advantage Of being contin-
ual source of income, the butter, eggs.
beef pork, chickens, turkeys, and other
items creating continual flow of cash
to the treasury Of it's owner, and the
crops very frequently producing much
more valuable returns per acre than any
acre Of wheat can possibly Ike made to.
\ mixed farm is practically medium
between an entire grain farm and mar
ket garden; $50 per acre is a good aver
age for a grain farm to earn, net; $1,000
can be made from an acre Of market gar
den This figure being obtainable only
where the highest culture is combined
with the best market facilities Very
frequently net Of $50 per acre has been
made on mixed husbandry. Although
this may seem a heavy return, yet it is
none the less obtainable where the
farmer combines industry with intelli-
gent forethOught and careful considers
ton of markets with the most profitable
crops to handle in his own particular To-
cality. Let south Dakotian farmers
adopt this class of dairying and there
will in 1890 be no richer country on the
American continent than that bounded
by the 18th parallel on the north, Wy
oming and Montana on the west, Min
nesota on the east, and Nebraska on the
south.-C Dakot Farmer.

There are thousands of saloonkeepers
in Wisconsin who would issue just such
cards as that, if they could have any en-
couragement from the people. Ifthese
people would come to them and ask
them to publish such a card as
the above, they would do it. 1t is gen.
orally easy to handle saloonkeepers, if
you treat them like gentlemen. when it
is very hard to drive them if you treat
them like beast.-[ Peck's Sun.

Submarine Springs.

One of the hottest regions of the
earth is along the Persian Gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Babrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet q
comparatively numerous population
contrives to live there. thanks to the
copious springs which burst forth from
the bottom Of the sea. The fresh water
is got by diving. The diver, sitting in
his boat, winds great goat-skin bag
around his left arm, the hand grasping
its mouth; then he takes in his hand q
heavy stone, to which is attached q
strong line, and, thus equipped, he
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
;om. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet Of fresh water. he
springs up the ascending current, at
helped on board. The stone is then
hauled up, and the diver after taking
breath, plunges in again. Th4 source
of these submarine springs IS thought
to be in the green hills of Usman, some
five hundred or six hundred miles dr.
