Range Cattle Weather The Blizzard.
UNION Stock YARDS, Ill, Feb. 12.-There
has been no remarkable loss in range cattle,
says the Drovers' Journal, during the last
blizzard. The snow drifts have swept the
grass bare in spots. The greatest suffering
in the Northwest has been by water freezing,
but the snow has suficed fairly well to pro-
vide moisture. Heavy losses only exist in
isolated spots. The total loss for the whole
winter is far less than five Per cent. The
range cattle all began the winter fat except
in some droughty southwestern sections.
Most of the reports shout cattle are grossly
sensational, taking isolated localities of heavy
mortality as a basis for the whole.

M~Oney.making Osages.

A good many years ago the Usage
tribe of Indians vas in Kentucky, says
q Western man to the Philadelphia
Ne,Us. The whites came along and
wanted their lands. The Government
said to the Osages: $50 over in Hi
nois, and Well give you land there for
$500 an acre and pay you 50 for your
Kentucky land" The Indians had to
go. Before long the whites caught up
with them, and the story was: go
over to Missouri, and well give you
land for $3.50 per acre and pay o
$40 for this" They went. The OK of
the white man was soon heard, and
again the story went: $50 over to
Kansas, and we'll give you land for
$l.25, and pay you $l5 for this"
@Great Scott" said the Usage chiefs,
or whatever the Usage for that mild
expletive is, well keep moving as
long as you like at this rate" So over
to Kansas they went. Here they stayed
q few years, and at last the Govern
ment said: "See here, we can't 90 on
doing this. Wen have to put Won over
in the Indian Territory, where
well give You land for nothing,
and will pay you s1s an acre
for this" It is easy to suppose that
the Osages went, and there they are
to-day. But this isn't all the story.
There are to-day just 267 Osages.
They have in bank a great sum of
money, which makes them the richest
Indians in the country. and not only
that, they have in the Indian Territory
q tract of rich land that is as large as
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, and Delaware combined, and as
fertile as the Garden of Eden. This
land the "cattle kings" have got hold
Of by paying the chiefs a small sum
for the bargain and receiving a lease in
return at a lower rate. The young
Osages think this rather hard lines,
but they have got so much money that
they don't need to grnmble; in fact,
many people will wish they were
Osages when they read this story.

AL EXnelIed as Liars.

A prominent citizen of Jones County,
Mississippi. who stood high in the
church, made a visit to Meridian re-
Gently, and upon his return told his
neighbors he had seen ice manufac-
tured in that town with the thermom-
eter standing at 9S degrees. 1t soon
became a settled fact in the minds of
the members of the church that Brother
Blank had degencrated into an able
liar. Charges We're preferred against
him, and a committee of church mem
bers was appointed to visit Meridian
and convict the erring brother of lying.
They went saw the ice manufactured,
and returning home so reported to a
meeting of all the church members. A
look of establishment on the faces of
the assembled brethren o 70 gave way
to one of indignation, and Brother
Blank and the entire committee were
incontinently expelled from the church.

An interesting communication con-
tanning some information concerning
the famous Siamese Twins has been
received from Mr.. Hugh NJ. Brooks,
Of Concert, Ashe County, N. c.,
together with a letter signed "Nancy
Bryan" who is the venerable
mother of Gen. J. G. A. Bryan,
who served during tine late wal
in the Union army, and now re-
sides at Trap Hill, N. G. Mrs. Bryan,
who was eighty-three years old March
%, 1885, and who has seventy great
rand-children and forty-eight grand
children living, writes as follows in re-
gard to the Twins: "The Twins mar
ried David Yates daughters, sisters,
Sally and Adelaide. They lived six
miles from Wilkesboro, on Mulberry,
and were as respectable as any young
ladies in cur county, and we're full

Samuel Banguss, married a sister Of
the Twins wives. One of the Twins
wives had ten children and the other
eleven, but several of their children are
dead; they seem to be consumptive.
One Of the Twins had been paralyzed
in one side for several years before
they died, and the one that was
paralyzed died in the night when the
other was asleep, and when no awoke

in that excited condition for a few

there before he died, prepared to
separate them, but found that he was
excited too much to perform the opera
ton, and SO he died without being
separated. Their bodies were taken
to Philadelphia and separated and
thoroughly examined by the best ply

sent back to their families, near Mt.
