Buffalo Bills Fortune.

I'm going to Europe next April, "
said Buffalo Bill, "and the show goes
along, to be gone two or three years.
I've given up the stage entirely. Well
show in the Alexandria palace in Lon
don, in the Camps de Mars in Paris
and also in Vienna, Berlin, Moscow and
St. Petersburg and hundreds of smaller
places. We shall 60 to Europe in a
special steamer" Buffalo Bill is forty
three years old, weighs 21O pounds,
stands six feet three inches, and has
never been sick in his life. He says he
has the largest thoroughbred stock
farm in America at North-Platte, Lin
coin county, Neb. The ranch consists
of eight thousand acres under one
fence, and he claims the land is not
wild government land, but paid for by
him. He owns twelve dwellings in the
town, and his own house is a western
palace. Four weeks ago, while in Chi
cago, he bought forty-one head of i'm
ported cattle of the Hereford and Poll
Angus breeds, and paid on an average
$461 apiece for them. They were
shipped to his stock farm. He en-
ploys over one hundred men on his
farm, and is worth $45O,O00. He has
been member of the legislature, a
probate Judge, high sheriff and justice
of the peace. He says he is just in his
prime, and feels like young buck
every morning when he gets up, and
that he can jump a fence or ride a
horse-with any man he, ever saw.-PHsl-

A Considerable Waitress.

In humor as well as fiction the truth
often exceeds the best of invention,
writes a New York correspondent.
Here is positive fact: A housewife
friend of mine advertised for wait
ress, and, as is usual in cases wherein
the prospective employer lives very
fashionably, the numerous applicants
were very anxious to engage. One of
them was remarkably pretty girl,
who would have been an ornament in
any household, but whose pert self
possession promised 80 little in the way
of actual value that the woman de-
clined to hire her.
II think know why madam does
not take me- she said, with the air of
one who was stating a commonplace
point. II am so pretty that you are
afraid your husband may get too fond
of me. Mebbe he would-most of the
gentlemen do-if l was to allow 'em;
but I give you my solemn pledge,
madam, that if you will try me 1 won't
so much as look at gentleman in the
house. I've a sweetheart of my own,
and 'tisn't no object to me to 60 making
trouble in families.
The girl was in perfect candor, too,
and no joke or sarcasm intended. But
her offer of immunity to the wife from
heartache did not command the posi-
ton.

Gen. SCOTS Wife.

Among the numerous admirers of
Miss Mayo before her marriage to Gen.
Scott, writes Ben: Perley Poore, was
Capt. Charles Stewart of the navy. At
this period of his life he was in COM
mand Of United States ship lying in
Hampton Roads and ready for sea. At
a party one evening in Norfolk, at
which Miss Mayo was present, one of
the officers made the following inquiry
of her: "Can you inform me, Miss
Mayo, when our ship will sailp'' "Why
do you ask mep" said Miss Mayo. "You
are attached to your commandant, and
| am not"
Stewart was enamored of another
beautiful girl before he saw Miss Mayo,
Miss Marguerite Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, only daughter of Mrs. Wilson, of
Revolutionary fame, and regarded HIM
self as engaged to her; but when he re-
turned from bis celebrated cruise in the
West Indian seas at the beginning of
the century, he found her married to
Mr.. John NJ. Bowers, of New York,
an opulent, gay, and accomplished gen.
tleman.

MAGNITUDE of the Cattle Interest.

The magnitude of the the cattle in
terests of the country was strikmgly
set forth in statement made by the
commissioners of agriculture before
the cattle growers convention at
Chicago. Mr.. Colman said that a
column of cattle II deep stretching
from New York to San Francisco and
back again to Boston would contain
about the number of cattle there are
in the United States. The value of
this vast herd the commissioner
placed at 81 200, 100000, and he said
that the annual product from these
animals exceeded in value four times
the yearly earnings of all the rail-
roaGs of the country. The great
source of wealth, he said, was
threatened by q very serious danger
contagious disease. The commission
er declared that there was need of q
national law for the Strengthening of
diseased cattle and the stamping out
of the disease by determination. For
this purpose, he said, congress should
be asked to appropriate money. The
convention seemed to be strongly in
favor of Mr. Colman's views. 1t is
noticeable that propositions like this
meet with less and less opposition
as time goes on. The successful regu-
| lation of great commercial and indus
trial interests appears to demand uni
| formity of action to an extent which

De BaIzac's Last Hours.

The last hours of De Balzac were
described to Houssaye by Eugene Gil
rand, the painter, whose story is now
repeated in Houssaye's new book:
1.-The diving author, who was not SER
iously alarmed because Mime. de Balzac
possessed the art of deceiving him,
wished, Notwithstanding, to ask his
medical adviser a few questions. My
dear DOCTOR said he, i am not an or
binary man; should not like to have
death take me by surprise, and l have
still much to do to complete my work.
Tell me the whole truth. How much
longer do you think l can liveP The
doctor gave no answer. Come, doc.
tor, do YOU think me child? l tell
YOU once more that must not die like
an indifferent person. A man like my
self owes will to the public. The
word will loosened the physicians
tongue. If Balzac owed a will to the
public perhaps one was due to his wife
and family. My dear patient, said
he, 'how much time do you require tor
what remains to be done? Six
monthsn replied Balzac, with the air of
man who has made careful calcula-
ton. And he looked steadily at the
doctor. Six months! Six months!
observed the latter, shaking his head.
.Ahr exclaimed Balzac sorrowfully, Il
see you will not grant me six months.
Give me at least six weeks! Six weeks
with a fever are an eternity. The hours
are days. And the nights are not lost
either The doctor again shook his
head. Balzac raised himself up, al
most indignant. The doctor had taken
his patients summons too seriously; he
had decided to tell him the truth. Bal
FAC continued: If your conscience does
| not deceive YOU, do not deceive me.
What can l hope for? You will surely
accord me six daysn The doctor could
say nothing; he turned aside to conceal
his tears. Six days!' repeated Balzac.
We'll, shall point out broadly what L
have to do in order to put on the finish
ing touches, and my friends will dot the
is. shall have time to glance rapidly
| over my fifty volumes. | will tear out
the bad and emphasize the good pages.
The human will does miracles. God
created the world in six days; l can
give immortal life to the world | have
| created. l shall rest on the seventh
dayI Then came painful look and a
still more painful sigh. Since Balzac
had begun enunciating his terrible ques-
tons he had grown 10 years older. he
was voiceless, and could not continue adj
dressing the doctor, who was voiceless
to answer him. My dearpatient said
the medical man at last, endeavoringto
smile, who can promise single hour
here below? A man now in good health
may die before you do. But you ask
me to tell the truth; you spoke OF a
will that was due to the public. 'Well?'
We'll, the will to the public must be
drawn up to-day. Besides, you have
perhaps another will to frame; you
must not wait until tomorrow! Bal
FAC raised his head. Then have but
six hours left mel he cried out in ter
ror. And he fell back on his pillow.
The DOCTORS last word was a death
blow. The dying agony of him whose
name had been Balzac begun. lie
sought the truth; the truth killed MIN

The state BOARD OF railroad and
warehouse commissioners have pre-
pared uniform rate on wheat, which
it is thought all the railroads in the
state will adopt. The Manitoba and
Northwestern roads have already
signified a willingness to accept the
new rate and it is thought all other
roads will do SO without contest,
with the possible exception of the
Milwaukee road. This line promises
to be little captlous, but the COM
missioners doubtless have and will
use the power needed to bring them
to terms. The adoption of the pro-
posed rate will result in an annual
saying of over $2,00O,OOO.OO to the
farmers of the state.

A bank book. which has an interest

book, an aged woman, who died re-
Gently, took it out in 1866, depositing
SOL. In 1856 she added $50 to her nest
egg, the following December she de-
posted 500 more, in 1860 she put in
$50, and in June of the same year $50
more. September l, 1880, she drew
800, leaving $156 in the bank. The
book was made up to July 1, the sum
total being $1,O75, including interest
amounting to about 1920.

All feed which the cow can be in
duced to eat that she will turn into
milk is clear profit, but all she con.
sumes that is necessary to maintain
her physical condition is outlay, says
a writer. The profit of keeping the
COW depends upon the excess in pro-
portion of the feed which she con-
sumes that turns into milk over what
is required to sustain her condition.
Then it is important in choosing a
cow for dairy purposes that one be
selected which has a natural tendency
toward turning the larger share of her
feed into milk instead of into fat and
flesh.

The TRIBUNE is pleased to note
that steps are being taken to establish
national board of railroad COM
missioners. The first work of such
board will be to establish a uniform
system of classification of goods to be
transported by freight. 1t will be
Impossible, for years to come, to es-
tablish uniform tariff, because
western roads, owing to their smaller
volume of business, can not carry
freight as cheaply as the eastern ones
can do. 1t is, however, both feasible
and desirable to establish, uniform
system of classification for the whole
nation, as soon as the preliminary
steps can be taken. Freight tariffs
are high, but it is seldom that any
complaints in regard to over-charges
would be heard if goods were properly
classified. Nine tenths of the injustice
done to shippers is caused by the
present Ubiquitous system of classifi-
cation. At the present time if horse
be sent over a western road the ship
per must pay for 1000 lbs of freight,
no matter whether the animal weighs
half that amount Or not and if a.
person sends a small tread power
threshing machine, he must pay as
much for sending it, as for sending q
minnesota Chief' or buffalo Pittsn
of the largest size the same distance,
and it is a very cold day, when the
average western railroad official fails
to classify goods so that double or
triple first class rate can not be
charged, when single first class rate
ought to be sufficient. Such a state
of affairs can not exist long. The
people of the country are waking up
and such outrages will be corrected.
We believe national board will
soon be created and that uniform
system of classification will be the
first result. All persons having
business with railroads, either direct
ly or indirectly, are to be congratu-
lated upon the prospect.

Startling Experience.

Next to scarlet fever, there is no
disease among Children more dreaded
by parents than whooping cough. 1t
is liable to come at all seasons of the
year; it exhausts the strength of the
little ones, and physicians are often
unable to check it. Mr.. F. W.. Har-
baugh, of the Telegram, BaszAlore,
Maryland, had six of his children,
aged from six to thirteen years, pros
trated with this malady at one and
the same time. A complete cure was,
however, effected by Red Star Cough
Cure; and Mr.. Harbaugh writes that
the cough, which generally lasts nine
weeks left in four weeks, and he is
confident 1t would have disappeared
sooner if he had been aware of the ex
istence of such an invaluable remedy
